    Great show. I loved the classics and love this. I don’t understand this hate. People really just want the same again and then cry why is it the same

    So He-man in this universe is a complete cuck who's soul purpose is to be **** on. I guess he must represent the the male patriarchy, which must be repressed and emasculated. Animation is nice so it gets more than zero but other than that its complete woke trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sorry. Unless you're just one of the few, proud, diehard Teela fans, this series will disappoint the hell out of you. I'll throw in the good, first. I rated the series a 4 solely based on the animation being gorgeous and the good voice acting. Although, surprisingly, I wasn't a fan of Hamill's Skeletor. Beyond that, the story is nothing but trashy pandering and virtue signalling. It seems that there is a "by the numbers" checklist any and all big and small screen entertainment has to follow before it is allowed to be released. This show is a prime example of that practice. Couple that with the fact that it was advertised as something it was not in order to lure people in for views, only to be pelted with the garbage contained within. Kevin Smith absolutely lied about the premise of the show and it's contents. He responded to the backlash by trash talking fans who simply just wanted an entertaining show. As a huge Smith fan, I was extremely disappointed that he was on board for this abortion. As well as his reaction that followed. You don't win fans over by killing the main character and turning a beloved secondary character into an unlikeable, selfish c**t. But, don't take my word for it. And, especially don't take the word of all these so called "professional" critics who bend to the will of money every chance they get. Watch it for yourself. If you go in with lowered expectations, you may enjoy it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It`s starts nice, you see a cool animation, He-Man is there, Skeletor doing Skeletor things.... You think: "Well it`s not as bad as people is talking about."

    Well don`t be mislead by the 1st 20 minutes of this show, after He-Man sacrifices himself everything goes down the hill. Teela represents everything that is wrong with female leads these days, she is just a "boy wanna be" with a fancy hair cut, that hates everyone. The second episode is so bad that I skipped.
    The last episode you think, yeah, I survived this pile of garbage, I will get something good... He-Man is back... They manage to destroy everything again.
    In the end people like me, and many others, were just used, the same way we have been used by the new Start Wars trilogy.
    If you are not as stupid as I am, don`t loose your time watching this garbage, don`t buy any merch and go on with your life, as if this show never existed.
    Life is too precious to be wasted with this.

    All elements are of epic proportions in this Conan-Star Wars hybrid world of Masters of the Universe, based on the best-selling line of children’s toys. Epitome of Good takes on Epitome of Evil for nothing less than the future of the Universe, and the result is a colossal bore.

    Kevin Smith's He-Man is an impressive physical specimen, the ultimate warrior epitomizing all that is good and defending the honor of inhabitants of the planet Eternia. Sadly he is side-lined early along with most other major characters so that we can focus on heroine and former friend Teela. On the dark side is the hideous Skeletor (voiced by Mark Hamil no less). He too is absent for the bulk of these five episodes after he defeats the Sorceress of Greyskull Castle and destroys it in the opening episode, sucking all the magic out of Eternia, and the show as well. The next four episodes aren't interested in He-Man and Skeletor and tell an altogether different story.

    Turns out the battle to control the future of universal power took its toll on one Eternian more than any other, Teela--star of the original cartoon who appeared fighting alongside with He-Man in every episode. Smith's Teela was never told He-Man's alter-ego was her friend Prince Adam and when she finds out in the first episode she gives up on her friends, the Palace life, her new title as Man (Mistress?)-At-Arms, and sets off to find herself and leave the lies behind.

    We then catch up with Teela and her sole friend (or is there more to this relationship? Smith is too afraid to say despite saying himself that this material is written for adults) after a long time jump. Eternia is in bad shape as magic is drying up after the destruction of Castle Greyskull. Teela seems content to spend the rest of her life away from everything Masters of the Universe, until she's asked by a mysterious old woman to retrieve a long lost talisman and off we go on a new adventure.

    An adventure with no strong male characters, terrible dialogue, horrendous plotting and some very bad vocal performances from a cast that has done better. Sarah Michelle Geller of "Buffy" fame falters in particular as Teela, turning the iconic and kind heroine into a grim miser who seemingly hates everyone in her past. The Slayer's performance as Teela is grating.

    Masters of the Universe, like G.I. Joe, Marvel and DC Comics has a surprisingly deep roster of colorful characters beloved by many. Dumping on all of them and then dumping them aside for "The Teela Show" could have worked, but, not with these scripts and this cast. Just because something can be done though, doesn't mean it should. Netflix's "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" is horrible missed opportunity. Why was everything interesting thrown aside?

    The animation by Powerhouse Studious is fine, although nothing to write home to Bob K. or Bill Clampett about. Some of the character models are excellent and some are an excellent example in what not to do.

    If you've never checked out He-Man and the Masters of the Universe just about any other iteration would serve you better. If you're a fan of the old show, avoid this at all costs.

    This is an absolute waste of a classic 80s IP refresh that is loved by adults today. What's on offer is a woke PC squad party, the voice acting is forgettable so too is the script. Aside from the 'let's rip on' the supposed main character but then do exactly the same troupe minutes later.

    This is honestly a classic case of not reading the room and making something that not only detracts from the heart of the original (some my call cheesey nature) show but **** all over it.

    Mattel will suffer loses on product from this show as adults who the figures are aimed at will boycott on mass.

    I score this a 1 for Mark Hamill as skeletor...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. MOTU Viewer: Hey, so why would Teela decide to abandon her post, her dream job, her army, her kingdom, two grieving parents, and disown her family just because she didn't know Adam was He-Man? Like, it's not a great place to be, but loads of ppl didn't know he was He-Man. Even his own dad. And the ones who did know, knew because the Sorceress told them back in the day, not Adam, and only so Adam would have guides and support while he bore the burden of being He-Man and keeping the secrets of Grayskull and the sword of power safe. All this seems like a bit of a wild reaction if I'm honest, and completely out of character for Teela. Why is she such an emotionally resentful and self-centred person now?
    Show: Don't know. But look how strong and female she is. And gay.
    Viewer: Yeah, about that, how come you imply she's gay now, but do nothing with it in terms of the narrative or in developing her character. This kinda reminds me of Loki's throwaway bi-sexuality. You do less here than shows who first did this sort of thing more than a decade ago, like Korra and Xena. But these days, isn't this just cynical and lazy queerbaiting?
    Show: Nope. It's (reads from cue card) diverse and inclusive.
    Viewer: Hey, so this Andra girl is smart (except when she doesn't know anything about a massive war that happened a handful of years ago for some reason), brave, and pretty self-less. She seems to want to be a hero and help Eternia. This motivation would appear to put her wants and needs at complete odds with Teela's, who only cares about money and not being a hero. Why at no point during the series does that ever become a point of conflict as more and more people die and the mission becomes more dangerous?
    Show: Don't know.
    Viewer: Hey, so how did Teela manage to summon magical power she had no idea she possessed when fighting not-Skeletor in hell? What did she do to subdue him in his own house, and nab the sword? It seemed to be more than turning his game against him, and something awakened in her akin to the Sorceress' power. How did any of that work? Why did it seem so easy and convenient? Even the Sorceress can't do magic like that quite so easily. What gives?
    Show: Don't know. But she's his worst nightmare now!
    Viewer: (sighs...) she certainly is. So, if she's doing magic now, and she hates magic, shouldn't she have less of a gung-ho reaction to it? Shouldn't she be slightly disturbed at what this means? And why doesn't she, you know, just do it again and own not-Skeletor instead of letting Orko **** die and blaming Evil-Lyn for it?
    Show:
    Viewer: Hey, so why does Teela mourn the death of Roboto more than Adam? In fact, if he has all of Duncan's memories, wouldn't he also have known Adam was He-Man? Is she not pissed off at him as well?
    Show: Because she's a complex and emotional creature, misogynist. And as for the Roboto knowing everything Duncan knows... yea, I guess Teela kinda forgot about that.
    Viewer: Hey, so does Teela really not speak to her dad, Orko, Cringer, or Roboto after leaving the palace until the events of episode 3? She has no idea how sick Orko was or how they were doing? But wouldn't she have wanted answers about Adam and the secret once she calmed down and got herself together? Wouldn't she want to reconsider all her rash decisions before this point and reach out to her father to understand the truth that was hidden from her? Did she really just cut them all out of her life because they told her a lie? Like, completely and forever cut them out? Is Teela a psychopath? A narcissist?
    Show: No, she's a strong woman now, and to be a strong woman, you simply need to be just like a man, but without the reason or accountability. And you need muscles.
    Viewer: About the muscles...
    Show: She's a warrior, you big chauvinist. Girl warriors have muscles.
    Viewer: Okay... then why does Evil-Lyn have huge muscles? She's not a physical warrior. She's a mage who needs hired guns to do full-on fighting for her.
    Show: Err...
    Viewer: While we're at it, if all the magic's gone from Eternia except for wee scraps here and there, how is Evil-Lyn initially doing that disguise spell? And why is she being presented as some sort of spurned yet redeemable anti-hero rather than Skeletor's co-conspirator?
    Show: Now you listen to us, boy. All women are inherently good. All men are liars, heretics, cheats, bad fathers, skeleton monsters, or DEAD. Keep up. You're just angry because you think we ruined He-Man.
    Viewer: You didn't ruin him. How could you? He's not in it. You didn't ruin Skeletor either. Because he's also not in it - and it's probably for the best because I don't trust you to write for that supreme, meme machine, sassy **** You ruined Teela. You kinda ruined Man At Arms. The only one you didn't ruin was Orko and that's because you **** killed him instead.
    Show: I'm so glad we could subvert your expectations.

    I don't mind a Teela show, in fact if done right, I'd have loved it even if it was 100% focused on her, but in Revelation most things are working for the new agenda of men=bad, woman=good. In just one chapter they completely got rid of the male cast and the show is all about Teela, (and I wouldn't mind this if she was an unlikeable, bossy and self-centered Teela), her female partner, Sorceress and Evil-Lyn saving the day. I don't understand this trend and it really tells how little they think of women that, instead of writing an interesting, complex and capable females, the only way for many of them to highlight women is dumb down men, make them bad, or erase them completely. Not to mention that any resemblance of femininity in her design is also stripped and left behind in favor of a muscular dude in khakis. Again, "let's empower women making them look like a man". I don't want to put spoilers in here, but not only is insulting what they did to He-Man, they also completely destroyed Teela. So sad this happened to one of my most beloved series. I'm giving it 2 for the music and voice acting.

    The rating is mainly for the animation wich holds quite high quality, but thats the best thing about it as the rest is either easy forgettable, woke propaganda or just a show about Teelas late teen angst, the show had lots of potential but feel short on most things as it seems it was more important to the creators to mess with the old fans then care for the characters or the show.

    Sadly the rumors were true. It is not a truly bad show but the lies and misleading of fans will decrease the ratings a lot. Lets start with the elephant in the room: He-Man is very sparingly used in this show to say it mildly and Teela is the main character. This is normally not a problem especially if the show is good or it fits the narrative (and I would no mind if both are truly good).Sadly the rumors were true. It is not a truly bad show but the lies and misleading of fans will decrease the ratings a lot. Lets start with the elephant in the room: He-Man is very sparingly used in this show to say it mildly and Teela is the main character. This is normally not a problem especially if the show is good or it fits the narrative (and I would no mind if both are truly good). However there are some valid arguments against this in this case. Firstly they promised a He-Man show and nothing else and especially Kevin Smith made a lot of now proven lies about this on social media. Secondly everyone who grew up with the show knew that He-Man was the boys show and She-Ra the girls show. This means not that you cant have strong females or males in the other show as for example the Sorceress is the most powerful character in He-man and probably atop on the wisest characters list too. So they harmed the expectation twice. While I use a phrase with the word “expectations” you hear a lot that the show is a repeat of “The Last Jedi” in poorly subvert expectation and angering a lot of the fan base. Sadly a fair and valid point. Lastly they show that they have no confidence in their own show, ideas and decisions as they could have told this passionately to the (potential) viewers. To be fair for the last point it could also backfire but you would not be labeled as liars that mislabeled a product. I might sound too negative as the show is not that bad. The visuals and characters look really good and I praise them for this. The art style is top notch too and fully appealing. Just look at the official poster or trailer. It has a high value and I will praise the show for it too. Then there are the voice actors: I would never complain with such an awesome cast with for example Mark Hamill, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lena Headey, Susan Eisenberg and Chris Wood. For me this is an all star team and a true strength. Now to the next elephant in the room with the story. I think it is not that bad and everyone should remember that the old show was never about telling deep Shakespearean stories. It was good and enjoyable but not in a top tier story level. I think the ideas and twists work but cant turn the tide. To clarify: I see a lot of good ideas and moments but these cant keep up against the negatives. Overall this will be in the list of re-imagination of established characters or shows that fail to win the old fans or core audience. I will conclude with: Dear producers and directors. If you want to tell your own stories than do it. If you want to redo / revive a show then please look into what made it good back thenfor the viewers and use this well. Take an example were that worked well like “Mad Max Fury Road” or “The Mandalorian” and how to subvert expectations in an awesome way in “Avengers Infinity War” and “Avengers Endgame”. Expand

    The animation and voice acting are fantastic, however..... I have no idea what on earth was going through the writers mind. He-man is now all about Girl power, Teela is the main protagonist and He-man himself is sidelined. Fans of the original will have a sour taste in their mouths.

    As a kid who watched the cartoon and had all the toys, I was hesitant going in since nostalgia for cheap childhood franchises often don't hold up as an adult.

    Boy did they not disappoint. They actually found a way to continue the Master of the Universe lore in a way that only "feels" oldschool & nostalgic, while in reality slips in enough mature story telling with actual character growth & stakes to the drama to justify a grown adult fan sticking around to see what happens next.
    This was way better than it needed to be, great job.

    Wow, this the most bait and switch I've ever seen.

    This is not the show that was advertised and its not even good. It's all about a woman who is mad about being lied to and shirks all her responsibilities in order to "find herself". The REAL protagonist, Teela is turned into a narcissistic brat without any amount of common sense who is easily one of the most despicable protagonists I ever had the displeasure to see. The whole universe almost comes to an end, Adam sacrifices himself, and Teela spends her entire arc acting like her feelings matter more than the ENTIRETY of the universe. And her motivations are honestly, the weakest part of this show and comes off less like a strong, empowered woman and more someone throwing a hissy fit at a really inappropriate time.
    The "strong female" characters scowling and being "angry" is a trite and overdone trope.
    It excels in good animation and a compelling cast, and that's the only thing that can attract someone. The story is your standard cliché journey about saving the whole universe, but is lacking any high stakes, memorable moments or simple emotions. The story rushes forward and the viewer does not have the opportunity to get to know the individual characters, nor to care about their potential demise.
    There are some action scenes, but they are solved very quickly and they lack any high stakes. I would expect much more from a show called Masters of the Universe.
    I've given it a 3 becasue the animations and the voice acting and solid soundtrack is great but all icings on a cake when this show apparently exists purely just to troll fans. A Troll-vest show is the best way to describe this.

However, Smith has clarified that He-Man is here to stay and will be the focus of the second half of the series, so hold on to your horses....let the creators do their thing first before we jump to any conclusions.

It was advertised as continuation of the 80s show, but it isn't, many of the characters, specially Teela, are acting totally out of character! The story progression is weak, some of the things that happen make no sense, not to mention things that are changed for no reason, and no I don't only mean the race swapping of some characters, I mean entire landscapes totally changed for no reason!

    1st: What kind of plot is based on Teela's resentment towards Adam for NOT TELLING HER THAT HE WAS HE-MAN... Dear god, come on, Teela is probably one of the most empowered women in the whole 80s series. Teela fights SIDE BY SIDE with THE AVATAR OF MIGHT AND MAGIC (He-Man), she is trusted by him in both witts and phisycal capabilities, she is broadly recognized by all of her peers and her troops and above all she is quite the balanced character. And you tell me that THAT Teela is unable to have the slightest empathy with Adam, and the reasons why he decided not to tell her? You mean to tell me that her resentment towards Adam is far greater than her love for him? You mean to tell me that she was unable to think even just a bit about how much burden Adam was weighing himself?
    2nd: ¿Why did they force the king be so angry with Man-at-Arms, whom he trusted his life? Man-at-Arms loyalty is so above everything that it pains me to see how they forced the King so far off-character, just to make the point of patriarquy and male oppression, simply disgusting.
    3rd: What kind of sick director decides that it's a good idea to have He-Man killed in the first chapter only to bring him back in the fifth chapter and have him killed again. Just .... ughhh....
    4th: ¿Why is everyone apologizing to Teela the whole series? ¿Why does Man-at-Arms and Adam think they should even go to point of kneeling and begging for her forgiveness? Yeah, because they can feel the empathy about Teela's feelings, but she can't reciprocate, that's what current feminist wave is teaching kids this days.
    5th: Kevin Smith: You couldn't produce a decent series. Even using as base one of the most beloved Universes created in the 80s, not even with an amazing voice cast, not even with at amazing animation crew. This had all the components it needed to succeed, except for you.

The first episode was split between scenes at Grayskull that showed promise, and scenes where everybody was tripping over themselves to see who could praise Teela the most. After that, the show descended into garbage. Any MOTU fans should skip this one and go rewatch the excellent 200x version. Expand

    So this show carries a hidden Agenda to demasculinize He-Man and make Teela be the strong independent hero of the show. By making Prince Adam look like a good for nothing Beta Male character. They dont respect the Canon from Masters of the Universe taking many liberties changing established story lines and Facts ! Woke Agenda

    We, as men must stop supporting simps in media and in government. He man, is for guys and she ra, for girls. So its illogical for he man to have zero strong male characters. Kevin Smith is a self loathing pos.

    It's as bad as you may have heard from others so I'm not going to give any spoilers but in short it is a bait & switch He-man is a backseat character. Alot of gender politics shoved in. Female characters are defeminized, male characters are simpering wimps & get killed off in droves. Plot makes no sense I keep asking myself why didn't you just do that in the first place.

    Horrible! Bad animation. Bad story. Bad acting. This is NOT a worthy sequel to He-Man. If you knew the original, this crap is specifically meant to insult you. If you never knew the original, you'll have no idea who the characters are or why they're being humiliated in this way. Do yourself a favor. Don't watch!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe that Kevin Smith has specially collected all the most terrible cliches of the last ten years in one cartoon to show how much he and similar media personalities are c*****d and subordinate to the modern agenda. A stupid drain and the murder of the original hero at the very beginning, as in "Dark Fates". Tincreasing the level of stupidity of the universe and lore for the sake of the agenda, as in the new "Star Wars". Rethinking the characters of other characters in accordance with the modern agenda, as in the same Dark Fate. Adding LGBT and poking them right in the face is just like in Princess Shi-Ra, which happens in the same universe as He-man. Well, the deception of fans, in order to play on nostalgia, as in all such projects. And if Cameron, perhaps, really took off Dark Fate, so that they would already left him alone, and that the viewer would never see another ignoramus rape the Terminator in his life, then fat Kevin is really sure that his "joke" was really cool. Ahahahaha. Damn, when will it end? Expand

    It may take a little while to fully get into what Masters of the Universe: Revelation is doing if you are not already familiar with the franchise. But whether you're a longtime fan or just hungry for a unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy, this show offers an exhilarating adventure that justifies the era of the legacyquel, while proving itself a necessary and essential part of the Masters of the Universe mythos.

    Smith eschews his normally wordy dialogue style, but keeps the characters smart and real, which helps us want to follow all of them as they go on their journey. He also hews closely to the convoluted world that is Eternia, where there’s layer upon layer of intrigue and mysticism that needs to be restored or captured. The animation is an upgraded version of the ’80s Filmation style the original show had, but with just enough retro touches to keep the show connected to its predecessor.

    For those expecting something truly boundary-pushing, rest assured, no one will confuse this with "Clerks."
