tekering Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Looks like Netflix must've been hedging their bets with the Masters of the Universe license... 🤨 This appears to be a CG update of the 2002 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Did they give up on revelations? That seems like the fastest reboot of a failed franchise ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Kevin Smith said season 2 of Revelation was pretty far in production so it seems unlikely it's been scrapped. I imagine this is the show for the kids while Revelation is the show for the old fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Lol. Clearly not for me. Which I'm fine with. My kid will probably like it. I've been good with revelations so far. So I'm not butt hurt over this. Edited August 20, 2021 by Bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I know I'm not the target audience, but I still thought it might be ok during the first half, but by the time it ended, it lost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'Kyuun Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I must be on the flip side of the coin. I was never into He-Man as a kid, although I was acutely aware of the toys. I didn't own any, but they had distinctive names, looks, and gimmicks that kinda stuck in my brain all these years. So, going into the Netflix show with no preconceptions, I enjoyed it. But I'm aware there's been a lot of negative reception, so I'm guessing they went left field with it compared to the original show. If there's a second season, I'll watch it, too.

JB0 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 On 9/3/2021 at 2:59 PM, Old_Nash said: new video You know, what strikes me the most here is how much more they GET He-Man than the show that is a sequel to the actual He-Man. That transformation sequence is not Generic Magical Girl Henshin #7. It is a thing of power and violence, and while it leans too far towards Hulk(there is a sense of uncontrolled violence to it that rings false), it still feels like THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE is arriving, not "Genderbent Sailor Moon". And just as I was getting ready to complain that they forgot the reverb AGAIN, the transformation sequenced finished off with him repeating the final phrase with suitably thick amounts of reverb. They REMEMBERED. With what they were going for, I'd make some tweaks, but I don't feel like the entire thing is totally off-base. Mostly, I feel like the timing of certain events is off. I'd have distant thunder when he first unsheathes the sword. The wind and clouds moving in wouldn't happen until after Adam says "Grayskull", as the magic starts to take hold in earnest. It isn't what I feel is truly an important change, but I'd also add reverb a little bit at a time as he progresses through the words, and have the glowy gold light effect around the sword start dim and suddenly flare up to blindingly bright at the end of the words. This this is a seizing of destiny, the moment Adam stops being a prince and starts being a hero. I think these minor tweaks would emphasize the importance of what's happening(and make the glowing holographic scroll look less silly). ... I'd also change the art style COMPLETELY, but... that's less a minor tweak and more "the show's character design is stupid and ugly".

David Hingtgen Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I saw a lot of posts on other forums saying it was better than expected, so I at least gave it a shot---and it's not horrible? I'm certainly interested enough to watch a second ep, and see where it goes. Also, David Kaye is in it, so that's an automatic coolness point.

Podtastic Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Whatever happened to the Mondo Revelations Skeletor? Any news on a pre-order date? The feet on that Skele looked right to me. https://twitter.com/MondoNews/status/1436744436072001542/photo/1 Despite everything the one thing about this series that really doesn't work for me is Skeletor with the Joker's voice from the Batman animated series. I always held the view, form when reading say - The Power of Point Dread minicomic - that he should have a sepulchral voice. As the "Lord of Destruction" he should be an impressive and frightening character. Yet in almost every series he is portrayed as somewhat of a feckless clown.

The one time they portrayed him with anything like that was Frank Langella in the 80's movie. Heck, they should consider him for the next voice-acting role for Skeletor!

Well, possibly due to Kevin Smith, which wouldn't be a high bar. I am not sure if anyone thought up idea of "Skeletor was rightful ruler of Greyskull all along and He Man was a usurper while ignoring canon" *Coughs in Malekith storyline in Warhammer End Times* and applying it. I mean Bardic Podcast use this as a metaphor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
