Wow. I'm guessing I'm gonna get downvoted, but as child of the 80's and a fan of the original? I think this is a great long form story that (mostly) builds on the original.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A really good take on the classic series is a short way of describing it. People tend to hate it since the first season because of the plot where he-man is being killed, but that brings the hole story to another twist. Its darker in its story, magnificently painted and the voicecharacters are perfect. Give this version a go, its just to good to be missed out on.… Expand

It was still Masters of the Universe. There were a bunch of absurdly buff people beating the snot out of each other and no one would shut up about Castle Grayskull. Those are literally the only requirements as far as I am aware.… Expand

Kevin Smith has done a marvellous job of bringing new depths to old well established characters and locations and shining a needed light on the lesser known ones. Many people are calling Masters of the universe revelation woke. They must have very short memories. Original 80s He-Man was always woke. With each episode teaching you important life lessons. Love is better than hate and that drugs don't make your problems go away. He-Man was always about being better. With a cast that rivals any big budget TV show *Mark Hamill* as skeletor and even bringing back the original voice of Skeletor *Alan Oppenheimer* to reprise his voice as Moss Man. It's clear this was a labour of love for all involved. A soundtrack by the great Bear Mccreary *battlestar Galactica* giving off 80s vibes only emphasises an already stunning visual treat full of twists, turns and tears for fans new and old. 9/10

I played with Masters of the Universe almost exclusively as a kid. He-man was always the most vanilla of the characters, it was always about seeing all of the cool toys realized in the world of the show. On that note, I think they did a great job. I loved seeing so many of the peripheral characters show up and get used in fun ways. I enjoy having Teela as the lead character and look forward to seeing what they do with her in the second half. As a MOTU fan, I would give this a 10, it captures so many of my childhood imaginary adventures so well. For the general public, I'll pull it back to a 9. Its campy, silly fun - enjoy it for what it is.… Expand

All of the negative reviews are by people that want to see He-Man and only He-Man. This show includes He-Man in the first 5 (out now) and will feature him even more in the next 5. It's only halfway over. Calm Down.

This show is really good as soon as you can get over the fact that every minute isn't about He-Man. There are a few odd moments that maybe don't work, but overall it's a really good show. I'm a huge fan since the 80s and I liked it. My wife and kids have never seen an episode of the original show and they both liked this show.

It is not the old show. And that's a good thing. The old cartoon belongs in the 80s. It's great but it's definitely dated. Keep watching it if that's what you want, but don't crap on this version just because it's not the old version.… Expand

While many people are upset over the focus on Teela my problem is that Revelation fails to capture the personality and heart of Prince Adam himself. Adam was the star of the filmation show. He wasn't a little scrawny kid who was clueless. I feel Revelation took Adam from 200x instead of filmation which was a mistake. I was happy to see cringer speak but Battle Cat can't? If this is a sequel whats the explanation for Battle Cat losing his ability to speak? Finally Skeletor sounds a bit too much like the joker. Why they elected not to let Alan Oppenheimer reprise his role as Skeletor is beyond me.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The new Masters of the Universe, has shown an extrodinary quality in the animation. The history could have been a little less intuitive, we have the stereotypical girl with the shaved hair and the adventure to fight your own fears to save everyone, that is to say we had seen this scenarios in other series: Trollhunters, Adventure time, She-Ra(new), Final Space, etc. I think the goals of the series have change in order to satisfy the demands of political correctness, but I must say that the new goals shouldn't mess with the spectators preferences, a lot of the people that sat down to watch it, was expecting to remember old memories and not to forge new ones, while seeing, I could say, their favorite character from childhood getting murdered (apparently twice). At the end I think that this change is meant to be for the new spectators, while expecting the old ones to forget some precious memories, but after all I can say that this show can give more than we think, if gets worked correctly.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm just floored by all the whiners complaining about the direction of this show. I'm from the old school and watched He-Man back when I was a kid everyday after school. I remember all the characters and toys they have shown in the new show so far. It's a total nostalgia trip and I was very pleased with what they did with the first half of this season. I laughed at all the "reviews" complaining He-man and Skeletor are only in the first episode because this shows you they only watched half of the first episode and then gave up. They reviewed a show they didn't even watch and missed out on the cliff hanger ending with He-man and Skeletor!

You need to keep in mind this is a sequel. Why would you want the same boring rehashed junk of He-man fighting someone new in every episode? If that's what you want go watch any number of the multitude of Shonen anime out there. Instead the show rips right into it in the first episode with the penultimate battle between He-man and Skeletor where they seemingly destroy themselves, and essentially bring about the slow end of the universe. Queue the oddball team-up of Teela and Evil-lyn and their gang of misfits to reclaim the sword of power and fix everything by going to Eternian versions of heaven and hell. Putting the focus on Teela, you know because He-man is essentially DEAD, apparently has broken everyone's brain.

So you don't like that all the women have huge arms? Did you not notice the guys have arms that are like 4 times as huge? They are Eternians. They live on a world that is the heart of the entire universe. They're called the "MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE", not the "Average, Molded by Your Personal World Views, Failures of the Universe". Would you really expect such beings to NOT have overly impressive physiques? Even Orko is lean and ripped like Bruce Lee. Most of you are completely missing out on an interesting story simply because you can't get over your own misogynistic prejudice. I'll warn you right now... I think they are going to have Teela take up the sword of power and become the new champion. I know your little minds will be blown into oblivion but that's you're own damn fault. One last comment to negative reviewers saying this is He-Man's show; the show is called "Masters of the Universe: Revelation". Do you see He-man's name in there anywhere? Anyways, overall I was pretty pleased with this and can't wait to see the rest of it!… Expand

The animation seems to have the potential to be spectacular but fall a bit short. The action scenes are rather stiff for some reasons but everything else is at a very respectable level.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an 80s kid, who grew up with He-Man and She-Ra and had all the toys, I absolutely loved this show. KS did a fantastic job to bring the show into 2021 and removing He-Man (for the time being, no one actually believed he'd stay dead) gives the rest of the cast a time to shine and develop into actual 3 dimensional characters. It creates a new Eternia that is the same but with more depth and realism. Letting Skeletor win for a change raises the stakes and makes him an actual thread, rather than a goofy caricature. Of course the same group of people who moan about everything, would loose their heads, as expected but it's their loss.
Whereas the original was trapped in a spiral of the same story over and over again (Skeletor tries something but is too stupid, He-Man saves the day, Skeletor tries something but is too stupid, He-Man saves the day, Skeletor tries something...etc and so on) this new adaption really moves the story and characters along and that's what I want, as a He-Man fan, who is not a kid anymore. Voice acting and Animation is top notch, as is to be expected from Powerhouse Animation Studios
Glad this is getting a second season, in which I'm sure, He-Man will take centre stage and people will find something else to moan about. Just the times we live in.
I recommended the show to every He-Man fan, who is not too attached to their nostalgia goggles and are open for new stories.… Expand

Special shout-outs must go to the voice cast, who were universally fabulous.

Some people have complained that the show didn’t meet their expectations, or took the franchise in a direction they didn’t like. Personally, I think for a show to survive for 30-plus years, some form of change and evolution is going to be necessary.

Looking forward to further episodes!… Expand

People should really grow up.
Just because the story doesn't focus on the same characters as the original ,doesn't make it a bad show and if it's a bad show for not focusing on male characters you're a misogynist.
