Speaking of, do we know anything else about the other He-Man show yet (like a release date, voice cast, etc)? As far as I’m aware we’ve only got the following so far: -The show will be a complete reboot ala SPoP (though how much this particular team will be willing/able to change remains to be seen) and will just be called Masters of The Universe -The show will be CGI and run much longer than Revelation will (as far as I’ve heard it’s basically the main event while Revelation is just a short little warmup meant for the older fanbase) -The show is being handled by another studio called House of Cool (who have apparently assisted in some big name shows/movies in the past such as Despicable Me) -Thanks to some toy leaks a little while back we have at least some preliminary designs of both He-Man and Skeletor (click the question mark by my name, the toy pictures should be on the very first page) -“I have the power” is now “We have the power” Anything else I’m forgetting that’s been revealed about it yet?

Not completely sure about that one as I only heard it second hand but that’d make sense, yeah. Anybody got a source for that point out of curiosity? At the very least, I’m hoping this series will have the guts to take some risks with the characters the way SPoP did (or at the very least, give them some extra depth and agency). To be completely honest, I’m actually more curious about that series at the moment than I am about Revelation. Larryb fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Jun 15, 2021 |

Apparently the first half of Revelation at least will be more Teela focused anyway so I could see them exploring something along those lines (and if they don’t have enough time there’s always the CGI series afterwards) Speaking of, given how short Revelation is going to be I wonder if the individual episodes will be a little longer to make up for it (though it seems like they’ll at least be splitting it up into two parts as opposed to dropping all 10 episodes on us at once) Larryb fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Jun 15, 2021 |

Apparently it came from a soundbyte in a Twitter presentation a little while back. I forget the link though so if anyone can dig it up for me that’d be great. Also there’s a book or something coming out related to the reboot implying that this is a team show and several characters share the power (which sounds interesting if handled right)

I forget, how much was Horde Prime involved with the 80’s series? I know in SPoP he takes over as the primary antagonist after a while.

I think he might have had a physical body in one of the comics/children’s books if I recall correctly (which is also the only place the original Double Trouble appeared aside from the toyline) but he definitely had more a of a presence in the Netflix show. Out of curiosity, did SPoP ever get a full DVD release (I know that’s not super common for Netflix exclusive shows though)?

So apparently Revelation will be released in two 5 episode parts, the first one drops July 23 but for some reason we won’t get the rest until January of next year. I’m curious if the 3D series will start in the gap between the two then or if they’ll hold off until the first series is finished. I wouldn’t be surprised if the latter threw in some She-Ra content as well (though whether said characters will be reverted back to being closer to their 80’s counterparts remains to be seen). Also, movie/special idea: Take a page from the TMNT special a while back and do a story where EVERY existing He-Man/She-Ra continuity from the original to present winds up intersecting somehow (the concept of multiple Skeletors arguing amongst themselves would probably be worth it alone) Larryb fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Jun 18, 2021 |

Dave Syndrome posted:There was a six-part comic series recently titled "He-Man and the Masters of the Multiverse". I haven't read it yet, but from what I saw in reviews it may be very much what you're looking for. Neat, is SPoP included in the mix? Come to think of it, has the Netflix She-Ra gotten any other official stories (such as comics and the like) besides what's presented in the series itself? And if so, are any of them worth checking out? Larryb fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Jun 18, 2021 |

I’ll give you two guesses about what most of the comments below the He-man video are full of. If you guessed bitter incel gen-xers crying about how Teela has been turned into a man, Adam was feminized and the entire show is a bait and switch that will be about SJWs and Wokeness, you win the prize (so about par for the course honestly) Why is it that a lot of this fanbase sees the original show as this holy text that cannot be altered rather than the goofy toy commercial it really was? Same goes for She-Ra for that matter (which I question whether half of the people complaining even WATCHED when they were a kid). Now granted, the latter show does have its share of legitimate problems (such as the story kind of falling apart during the final season and Catra’s somewhat rushed redemption arc that sort of brushes aside all the genuinely horrible things she did over the course of the series) but changing/updating a few designs/personalities and giving characters more agency and development ain’t one of them in my opinion.

Hell, sometimes change is a good thing (like in the aforementioned Ducktales reboot where they gave the triplets actual personalities/unique voices and turned Webby from a precocious little girl to a fusion of the Pines twins from Gravity Falls). Off the subject, the Revelation tie-in comic is out this coming week, but already a big scene has leaked Our first full glimpse of King Greyskull  https://bleedingcool.com/comics/big-spoiler-for-next-weeks-masters-of-the-universe-revelation/

The CGI Netflix show was mentioned a little in this month's edition of SFX Magazine: -There will be a lot of easter eggs to every possible tie-in with the franchise, including Revelation, with 'subtle nods' to every series prior. -A 'Day One' Prince Adam. Entirely different from what we've seen before -The series will be a coming-of-age tale, with the characters on journeys of personal discovery and 'earning' new powers and their titles as Masters

pentyne posted:Is this one of those 60 episode deals, where Netflix just staggers it out across however many seasons they want? The weird "season 2 part 1" stuff can not die in a fire fast enough. I don’t think that’s been made clear yet but from what I’ve been hearing Revelation is just a short little mini-series while this is the main event. As a result I’m guessing we’ll get more than one season out of it like SPoP did. The former comes out pretty soon if I recall correctly so I’m guessing more info on the CGI series is going to start trickling out before too much longer now.

tsob posted:No idea. At a guess it's to get something out there a bit faster, rather than waiting another 6 months for it all to release. Plus, if you release it in two waves that two bumps in public awareness, rather than one. Amazon, Disney+ etc going for one episode a week rather than dumping it all at once is probably better for that, but Netflix are basically known for their dump strategy at this point, so they may be too committed to change for now. Makes sense, though there is still a second He-Man series coming eventually so I’m not sure how it’s all going to work (like if it’ll be out/still going by the time the last half of Revelation hits). We’ll see I guess.

Reviews are out for He-Man Revelation and…it’s certainly a thing: (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD) Adam dies. Twice. First in the opening episode after the power sword breaks, the second is when he returns in episode five, having left the Preternian afterlife to reclaim the sword after Roboto re-forges it. Skeletor, who has also been absent since episode one (save for flashbacks), suddenly comes out of hiding just as Adam is about to transform into He-Man and skewers him, claiming the sword as his own and becoming a Master of the Universe...the Skelegod Orko, who the reviews claim has the most surprisingly fleshed out story, sacrifices himself in episode four Edit: Another review, apparently there’s also some mild swearing and gruesome moments inspired by Akira: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/masters-of-the-universe-revelation-review/ Larryb fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Jul 21, 2021 |

Also apparently the Conan looking guy is named Vikor, the He-Man of the north. Not sure if he appeared in the show/comics before though. Edit: It seems he’s a concept drawn by Mark Taylor before He-Man became what he is now. He was there with Torak and Vykron, who basically all fused to become the He-Man we know and some love today.

Which is why I find it odd they’re splitting it up into parts like this (I wonder if Revelation Part 2 and the CGI series will wind up overlapping in terms of release dates or if the latter will start first) Speaking of, now that Revelation is out I wouldn’t be surprised if they started promoting the other show before too much longer.

The Last Call posted:A picture leaked the other day of the new show in the works, it appears to show the Sorceress. I can tell you now people will likely be livid due to the design judging from the reaction to this. Yeah, and before that there were two toy leaks of He-Man and Skeletor presumably from the same series that also looked slightly redesigned. Considering there are seriously people out there who hate SPoP solely because the characters “look different” there will absolutely be people who throw a shitfit over the new series as well (as has been mentioned, some of this fandom seems to carry around this weird idealized version of the show in their heads and anything that deviates from it will essentially be garbage to them. They’re never going to be happy so stop paying attention to them). Based on what little we know I’m actually looking forward to the reboot personally (especially the promise of other characters getting time in the spotlight and nearly every entry in the franchise thus far getting a nod of some kind). The studio behind it seems to have a pretty good track record from what I’ve found as well.

Yeah, the old shows had their fun moments but I was honestly never really a fan as a kid. Though despite that I still had almost no trouble at all following along with Revelation. While the new shows aren’t perfect either I honestly prefer them over the originals from a story (and in a lot of cases, a character) perspective. Plus they’ve still got plenty of the goofy fun the originals were known for.

I have no problem with the look of the CGI series from what very little we’ve seen so far (aside from the toy making He-Man look like Kirstoff from Frozen). As for the remakes/reboots, they’re not perfect but I’d say they’re all still worth a watch in my opinion.
