Gnome de plume posted:I just had this thought right now: why is he called Skeletor when every part of him except his head is pure muscle? Shouldn't he be Skulletor? I always assumed from his character design (with the big black void around his 'face') that his outfit was hollow. He's a skeleton-man wearing a muscle-suit.

Going by the CG series at least his hands are also just bones. Also I believe the Keldor origin has technically been around since the original series though there it was only heavily implied by a comic story and not mentioned in the show itself

Skeletor is Skeletor because he identifies as skeleton, not just skull, and he believes in skeletonism not just skullism. Proof: in Revolution Hordak and Motherboard want to borg people with technology, but he QED

I wonder if the decision to make skeletor beefy has anything to do with the difficulty of casting a skeleton figure in plastic.

The documentary The Power of Grayskull goes into this a lot. It's kind of hilarious how cheap MotU is/was behind the scenes from the toys to the media.

Speaking of, seems like the second live action MOTU movie might still be alive https://foreternia.com/2024/02/bumblebee-director-travis-knight-eyed-to-direct-new-masters-of-the-universe-live-action-film https://foreternia.com/2024/02/new-masters-of-the-universelive-action-movie-starts-with-a-9-year-old-prince-adam
