I agree with those who say they took memorable, strong characters and turned them into whiny idiots. Very much a failure for Teela, Adam, and even the King.… Expand

the voice acting is on the whole awful, between poor casting choices, and poor delivery. The animation is still pretty mediocre. Powerhouse just isn't that good, they produce inconsistent animation, and sure it looks better than most modern cartoons, but that's a really low bar. There is honestly much better animation on tap from other studios. Kevin Smith and his writing team have clearly demonstrated contempt for the source material, the the majority of changes they have made range from unnecessary to cynical to farcical. The humor is low brow juxtaposed against the original's youth oriented humor.

And we have to talk about Teela again. She is the epitome of a Mary Sue in this without the requisite "self-insert" part. What do you call it when the mary sue is created by white knight pandering?

We also need to address the fact that He-Man is still not present. Sure sure sure, you can say "the show isn't called He-Man..." but given the bill of goods we were sold on the way in, we all expected a He-Man story, not a spin-off about support characters (who are incredibly mishandled...)

The only reason I'm giving this a 3/10 and not lower is because there are a few well executed scenes amongst a poorly conceived and produced story.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Animation is nice, cool to see they tried to keep the oldschool designs of the characters and machines. I stopped watching after the 3rd episode. I didn't find any excitement in following the main characters. I find the new Teela uninteresting, same for her partner. Evil-Lyn was kind of good, but those three together didn't have a dynamic I found intriguing. I also liked Orco and Gringer, still kind of clumsy and scared, but adorable and sympathetic. I found those two characters pretty empathetic. Teela...not so much. I was hoping for kind of a new take on the main theme. The music is good, don't get me wrong, I'm just a fan of good covers and remixes. I admit I'm kind of fed up about the cliché strong manly girl with undercut with lesbian partner. I like strong organic female characters (Leia, Rippley, Sarah Connor, Katniss Everdeen). I hope in a few years we get well-written female characters again, which we will follow from beginning to end (not like Rose; which I like; in Episode IX, but hey, let's introduce 2 new female characters, we won't care much cause it's the end of the trilogy and...hey Palpatine returned).

So yeah, I didn't want to follow the haters, but after having watched 3 episodes, I'm out. Remember She-Ra? Please don't, leave it be.… Expand

I absolutely think Teela can be amazing star but the characters what we grew up with are just horrible, poorly written versions of their prior selves.

Those who made the series are digging their heels in, dismissing reviews as toxic, but this series doesn’t have the tone, character, spirit, etc of the original content. It’s not going to make you smile, it’s not going to lift your spirits.
(And just for the record, I would have scored this series much higher if it wasn’t a He-Man series. In many ways it is a good show, but not a good He-Man show.)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. He-Man is my childhood hero, right next to Superman, Batman and Spider-Man. Kevin Smith is among my most favourite people in Hollywood, I mean "Clerks" and "Dogma" - enough said. This should be as easy for me to watch and enjoy as it can be... and yet...

This show starts strong. All our heroes are there and they look better than ever! The designs are amazing and detailed, the animation is masterful, the voices fit the characters perfectly! The music is fantastic and fits the universe of He-Man as if it was always there. This show had everything it needed to succeed. But then there is the plot.

Many are saying that this show pushes the "strong female" too much. That is **** If anything, this show makes women seem illogical, stubborn and unempathetic. He-Man appears in the show for just a brief moment with the majority of the story dealing with interesting ideas, such as the world without He-Man or even the Power Sword. The balance between magic and technology is also mentioned. Sadly all those interesting topics are pushed out of mind for an uninspiring, poorly written Teela and her journey into stupidity. You see, at the start of the show Teela gets recognition and a promotion shortly before Castle Greyskull is attacked by the forces of Skeletor. He-Man dies protecting the castle and the universe. Teela finds out that Prince Adam was He-Man shortly before his death... and flips out. She just got promoted, before that she was just another soldier and while she was a friend, we all know why superheroes hide their identities. Teela however is angry in the childish temper tantrum kind of way. Then the show proceeds to dishonour Man-At-Arms, kill Orko and Roboto in the quest to restore the Power Sword. They even get Prince Adam back... only to kill him again. I will repeat - the main character, the icon of pop culture, the hero of my childhood dies twice in this show. This time making it blatantly clear that there's no coming back.

Now, I'm not mad about He-Man dying. The concept can be interesting and passing the torch to a new character can benefit all, us with a new story and the franchise by pushing new toys. But this was a senseless and disrespectful way to do this. Pushing Teela into a more proactive role is a good idea but again, it was executed poorly turning one of the fan-favourite characters into an angsty and blatantly stupid new main character. This new Teela isn't likeable or relatable, she's not a staple of female empowerment, in fact, she takes away from the role model that she should be. Acting like an entitled, petulant child without thought isn't a desirable trait at all.

The story, while having hints of an interesting direction, is filled with nothing but letdowns in the most important moments. The depth given to some characters isn't paid off in a satisfying manner at all. While Orko's death was heroic, it was at the hand of an enemy Teela defeated previously and now she was just standing there doing nothing. All the character development for Evil-Lyn was for nothing and had no payoff at all. If you need to sideline or kill off all male characters to make one, poorly written, Teela stand out then you are only stressing out how much less powerful, interesting and important she is... The point of the show was to give Teela more to do, to make her into another Wonder Woman, but Wonder Woman doesn't take away from Superman or Batman, she stands on equal footing with them. This show's idea of empowering Teela was to eliminate all other, more prominent, heroes! That's a terrible way of going about this!

This show is insulting. Insulting to the fans of the franchise. Insulting to the intelligence of the audience. Insulting to girls and women with how it presents them. I rate it 3/10 for music and animation quality. Other than that... this is a worse addition to this franchise than the 2002 attempt at bringing He-Man and the Masters of the Universe back.… Expand

The voice acting did not match the characters, especially Teela and Evil-Lyn. There was too much of Mark Hamil's Joker in Skeletor. Then, when Teela started whining about not getting told the secret and the King banishing Man-At-Arms, I turned it off. The King should have divorced the Queen because the Queen knew the secret. The way these characters are written sucks. It's clear that we are supposed to love Teela because of all the praise heaped on her, but she is selfish and smug. I saw previews of what is to come in the later episodes. The show centers around Teela who is whiny and self-absorbed. Terrible, absolutely terrible. Skip this.… Expand

Besides that, the main issue with the show is it is misandrist and the women characters would be considered toxic masculine if they were men. Men are presented as weak, dumb, extremely flawed, and bad while the women are righteous, smart, macho, arrogant, selfish, mean, and humorless, especially the Teela character. The original He-Man and She-Ra cartoons are nothing at all like this. They are much more light hearted. As everyone has noted, the main positive for it is the animation. The original series looks very dated visually but I highly recommend watching at least a few episodes if you haven't. They have a genuine 80s nostalgic charm to them and you can see how different they were compared to this one.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only revelation from this series is that Kevin Smith has sold out to the wokeism pervading Hollywood. A man who built his reputation on being a true comic book guy partnered with a social justice warrior at Netflix, took something beloved - and destroyed it. Teela who was always like a princess/girlfriend to He-Man was given a massive change. The writers got rid of He-Man and make Teela the He-Woman, complete with masculine shoulders and arms (and haircut). It’s not all changes though; Lieutenant Andros is still there. Although they did a color swap for her, topped off with her dreadlocks kept up on her head. Inclusivity is a wonderful thing but when you compromise storytelling for so called ‘diversity’ and social engineering - the effect is unmistakable. And the changes were all unnecessary because The Masters Of The Universe was already diverse and all the women extremely capable and powerful. That wasn’t enough though for this latest crop. The writers had to do some gymnastics in order to make Teela the primary figure in this series. What they did was so myopic that it just ruined the show from the outset. Our new hyper masculine Teela has been promoted to be the new sergeant at arms. But after Adam/He-Man is killed, her reaction is more like a 10-year-old girl’s. She was so upset that she did not know the truth of his duel identity that she attacked everyone and forsaked her duty. So, we can all see how immature and irresponsible Teela is at the beginning and she is to be our new hero. A massive disservice to the legacy of this character. Turns out she was completely unqualified to be the sergeant at arms but now she should be the protagonist of the show with her newfound supposed powerful transformation Smith has given her. Perhaps if they entitled the show ‘buffed up Woman-Child’, people would’ve been more prepared for the story that would unfold.
She just could not deal that Adam had kept his secret from her, no matter what the reasons. Despite that. everyone is supposed to be OK with her subsequent apparent secret that Lieutenant Andros is her lesbian lover. Never overt but hush, hush, wink, wink There are some good things about this show but it’s so corrupted that it is completely overshadowed. The myopia from the creators was just too great; witching the main character from selfless He Man to now selfish Teela is an insult to any thinking person. I’m sorry but I could not get past episode two, and I really wanted to but I had to stop watching. What a disgrace. I have more or less followed Smith’s career and this is by far the worst thing he’s ever done.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positive: -Awesome Animation -Good background for some characters like Orko -Good Voice Actors
Negative: The rest:
1-Masters of the Universe is about He-Man and his friends. Not in this series. The story centers on Teela, a hyper masculinized, selfish and Narcissistic character who doesn't care in the least about her father. 2-Kevin Smith lied to us again and again. He said Masters of The Universe: revelation is all about He-Man. And Teela is not the main Character. Lies. 3-Some characters are so different from their original versions that they are unrecognizable. He-Man is a naive and clumsy character. His father, King Randor, gets mad for no reason with his right hand Man-at-Arms and banishes him. Teela has lost her femininity, she behaves like a man and is selfish and Narcissistic. Hateful character
4-Not a single main male character leading this show.… Expand

I was excited having watched the trailers and build up for the show and generally ignored all the rumours. However having watched the first five episodes I am absolutely lost for words as to how the writers decided to take the direction they have with this. The trailer and marketing was all about He-man yet he is a side note as all the focus is on Teela, I can now understand the bait and switch a lot of fans are talking about. They are essentially writing He-man out of the world and the emphasis is more on that anyone can be the master of the universe as long as they say the words and hold the sword. The whole thing stinks of Social Agenda which whilst important in the world of politics and social debate should not intrude into ppls escapism. I don't want to come home after a long day and see my beloved childhood heroes, worlds and stories butchered and dissected and rearranged to fit some Social justice agenda. I will see how Part 2 goes but my prediction is that He-man being a white blonde haired male simply isn't allowed anymore. This phenomenon is becoming more and more prevalent in tv series and movies these days.… Expand

Oh wait we could also add that they made the sorceress, who is obviously the most powerful, and wisest character in the original show a moron,Then there’s the fact that they made prince Adams dad a jerk oh yeah they also sidelined man at arms, likely the second most important heroic man in the show… I think I’ve got it mostly covered there, oh wait there’s what they did with Orco. The only thing decent about it is the animation, and even that in some instances was pretty lame in regards to Adams transformation into he-man Adams design in general and Teelas design as well; she in specific went from a strong and athletic but still feminine looking character to… A Karen haircut having butch masculine bodied character, who is written as a self important and selfish child. Supposedly the second half of the miniseries will bring a lot more he-man, but as for right now I would not recommend the show to anyone who is a fan of the 80s cartoon or anyone in general who I respect.

Why does a shaved head mean you are strong and independent? These are tired tropes and cliches. I'm so tired and disappointed at this garbage. Kevin Smith lied. For a year. Hate this entire thing, I wanted to cheer on a MALE hero. It's okay to be a dude and be badass. If I want to watch strong female characters I will watch 1983 Teela in He-Man, Wonder Woman, Alias, or any other show but this one that actually knows how to portray a woman being strong without having to give up her femininity.

I've watched the original series as a kid and as almost every boy growing up in the 80ies, I loved it. Before I start, English isn't my first language, so forgive me any mistakes.
After seeing the trailer and the advertisement I was quiteI've watched the original series as a kid and as almost every boy growing up in the 80ies, I loved it. Before I start, English isn't my first language, so forgive me any mistakes.
After seeing the trailer and the advertisement I was quite excited about a remake of MOTU. But MOTU REVELATIONS really disappointed me, because of several reasons. Before I'll go deeper, I’ll try to do this show some justice by also mentioning that the new animatic style is excellent. It shows most often enough reference to the original show, but still modernizes it. I also appreciate that characters actually can get seriously wounded, which didn’t happen in the original show, like Skeletor being pierced by He-Man’s sword and later on Adam by Skeletor. So this is new, showing serious injuries during a fight. Bravo for being a little bit more realistic and showing kids, that fights can cause serious injuries, without adding brutality of course, since the main target audience of this show are supposed to be children, next to old fans, which are all adults of course. But killing He-Man twice is just too much! I thought the main character was He-Man, after all he is very much in the center of the cover art and in the trailer it was advertised like this, but this clearly isn’t the case. I’m fine in general with Teela being an independent, strong woman, she was one in the original show already. BUT this series, MOTU: Revelation, makes a Tomboy-like character out of her with a side-cut hair style, which hardly references her original looks. It’s also strange to see, how she suddenly becomes the main character and He-Man just a side show. Even worse it’s quite striking how she outperforms Adam/He-Man during the hunt scene and several fights, while He-Man most often is rather passive. So is this some kind of political influenced reverse discrimination in order to compensate something? Seriously, now men, especially Adam is shown as weak, who needs constantly help from strong women, because it used to be the other way around. I’ve got a bad feeling about this show taking a political turn and trying to be woke. If that’s the case, that Revelations tries to be woke and I think I’m not the only one having a fishy feeling about this, then this series is ruined for me. And no, I’m not hating women or something like that, I have a lovely wife, a son and a daughter, which I all love equally. I also don’t think, that the old fanbase is toxic – that’s just a very cheap attempt to silence any reasonable criticism on the show. People just want to enjoy the show of their childhood and not being politically nudged. For the first 5 episodes this rather bad audience rating is well deserved! Maybe the professional reviewers and critics should ask themselves, why they give Revelations such a positive rating. Is it because of the show or because of the political nudging between the lines they might approve?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished watching the show earlier today...

Great animation. Mostly good voice acting (wasn't a huge fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar's voiceover skills). The battles and most of the character designs were very cool, but wow...
I think they missed the mark. This was absolutely as warned... Teela and the Masters of the Universe: Girl Power.

Teela's character design was too beefy, too... she was bigger than Adam, for crying out loud. They killed off way too many key characters and for very little reason, and just to hit the message home, they killed off He-Man, twice... Just in case you missed it the first time. And if it happens that Adam/He-Man actually isn't dead, there's no chance he can become He-Man without his sword, so again... the next story arc will have him relying on Teela, who apparently has magic of her own.

It literally reminded me of Finn trying to tell Rey that he, himself, actually had force powers, but he could never tell her, because something always interrupted him. Every time someone was going to reveal to Teela that she, too, had powers, she would interrupt them by saying something like "I don't want to hear it."

So, yeah... Part 2, I'm certain, will be Teela and the Masters of the Universe: Girl Power Part 2.… Expand

covcoh69Jul 26, 2021

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show have its good sides and bad sides, I'll try to do my best to list them correctly in my own point of view.(by the way I'm not an english born speaker so forgive my grammar and conjugation)

Not presenting the show as a spin-off on Teela and Evil-Lyn is indeed a terrible mistake. Having presenting the show as a spin-off may would have had lesser hype but it would not have had all the disappointment. Netflix shooted themselves in their own feet with that.

Good sides :

- Visuals :
They are good and feels like the 2002 rebbot.

- Teela and Evil-Lyn : I really love Teela and Evil-Lyn so having them as main characters enjoyed me.

- Good cast :
Voice cast is good, nothing wrong about that and it's a good thing.

- Evil Lyn :
Evil-Lyn is originally a good character and she's great in this show.

Not good or bad sides :

- Easter eggs :
Yep, there's a lot of them but here's the thing : they have zero impact on the story so... not good, not bad.

- Teela / Evil-Lyn duo : A good idea as Evil-Lyn is a well written character and the two have history between them but... they don't talk much to each other and that's a wasted opportunity.

- Decent average animation :
Not very good nor bad, the animation is decent but still under japan anime like Attack on Titan and the like. The previous shows were not better in this regards so I put that in "not good, not bad".

Bad sides :

- No menacing vilains :
Ok, in the 80's He-Man defeated Skeletor's goons easily but he had super powers and it was a show for kids. In this show He-Man is no more and it's aimed at adults so Skeletor's goons have to be menacing. Heroes sweep them effortlessly and even no name henchmen are more menacing than Trapjaw, Triklops, Merman and Whiplash. How can I feel the heroes endangered ? Is Skeletor and no name goons are the only threats ?

- Bland He-man :
Having a bland He-Man in this show impacts directly Skeletor as a vilain. How can I see him as a menacing vilain if he has been defeated over and over again for years by a tasteless He-Man ? Ok he have the Sword of Power and he became Skelegod but that'll remain in my mind : he was just the guy who has been humiliated again and again by an inconsistent hero.

- Shockingly immature, egotic and irresponsible main character :
Teela is presente as a capricious egotic brat in the first two episodes.
At the end of the first, acting as the royal army captain, in front of the Queen and King, as theu just learned the death of their only child a few secounds ago, she blame the deceased for having lied to her and make a fuss.
Seriously ?
Not a kind word for grieving parents ? Not a respectfull silence ? Not a ounce of empathy ?
It's ok to express your feelings about a deceased friend but not in front his grieving parents !!! Especially when you're on duty (she's the captain remember ?).
Try to figure that : you're in front of two grieving parents and a few secounds after they learned their son's death you blame the deceased for having lying to you ?
What kind of person can do that ?
And years after that, in the secound episode, when she learned all the planet will be destroyed without her help she answered : Nope, I'm still angry, you can all die (including myself and my friend by the way).
It took her friend to help her figure that saving everybody on the planet is the right thing to do.
How can I run for such an egotic and irresponsible character ???

- Empty characters :
Evil-Lynn and Orko asides, any characters seems empty and that's a shame because the Netflix show about She-Ra have deep characters with real motivations and whose occasional immaturity can be easily explained by the fact they are teenagers without adults around them most of the time. The silly thing is that the She-Ra show has been aimed at childrens and have deeper and more mature characters than the hero of an adult aimed show. For those who want to see good animated shows about the MOTU I'll highly recommend the 2002 reboot and the 2018 She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. They are aimed for kids but they have deeper scenarios and characters. Without having an egotic, irresponsible and immature main character and having a real menacing bunch of vilains this show would rate a 8 to me but here's the thing : the lake of real threat and poor treatment of the main character (here, Teela) is a real issue. Even the return of Skeletor in Skelegod mode isn't a menacing feeling as the vilain has been unable to handle a bland hero (here He-Man) for years. That's a shame because Evil-Lyn is jsut great and having Teela being an adult hero (you know, with empathy for other and a sense of duty even when she's angry) and adding menacing Skeletor's henchmen would have made a very good show. In that view, the show is only worth a 3 to me because the flaws (no meancing vilains and egotic, irresponsible main character) just ruins its good sides.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Calling it a sequel, advertising all the classic characters then killing them off as the series takes off is not the way to go.… Expand

I was so looking forwards to an expansion on the Masters of the Universe franchise, but found myself watching an abomination that twisted and distorted a beloved franchise, warping characters into something unrecognizable, and horrible.

Is there ANYTHING left that will not be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness? But besides that the characters all became sniveling versions of themselves especially Teela who is now the protagonist of this series. Kevin Smith gotIs there ANYTHING left that will not be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness? But besides that the characters all became sniveling versions of themselves especially Teela who is now the protagonist of this series. Kevin Smith got one thing right.... naming the show Masters of the Universe, and omitting He-Man from the title because he is hardly present in the show. If producers want to spread their message, they should do so by creating new concept, not taking IP with established beloved characters, and shoehorn their message and ruin it for the rest of us.… Expand

Unbelievably bad.

I am so disappointed because back when this was announced I was really excited - I had figured maybe we'd get a good adult rendition of the show with modern animation quality but still have good writing...well was partially right. The animation quality is good. But the story and what they've done with the characters is just embarrassingly bad. It's another example of Hollywood's schtick of the last few years where they write the male characters out of the show, replace them with women who look like men, and of course, had to have a couple of the obligatory deletion of white characters and replace them with those of another race as well as LGBTQ relationships injected into the show. It's just laughably bad. I'm out. Will not watch anything from Kevin Smith again and I've canceled my Netflix subscription as well. There's just too much of this stuff and I'm not going to be the one paying for it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sorry not a fan, for one killing off the heroin in the first episode is just not right. Masters of the universe is HeMan and HeMan is Masters of the universe there’s no getting away from that. I don’t like the story either it’s not like the old Teela that we all loved and knew. This is not a work of love and of appreciation or a story of morals that you learn a lesson from like you did at the end of every episode of HeMan, it’s a story of giving in to a small minority of other peoples morals and letting down the fans. Lesson learned.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A show made for He-Man fans, but with no He-Man. Instead we get the all to common female empowerment narrative, men = bumbling, idiotic and always in the wrong, while women = strong, capable and righteous. But if you point this out you’re a chauvinist manbaby. Well it’s not the first times it’s happened and certainly won’t be the last.… Expand
