1:24 - 1:43 this part of the score scratches my brain so nicely, idk what it is, but it's wonderful, probably my favorite part in all of the show's ost.
@@fenrirsrage4609 I loved this show in general, this show honestly was my first real introduction to He-Man, so, I probably enjoyed it a hell of alot more than most probably.
It's because of the heroic swell that crashes into bleakness. It leads to a sense of... Finality? Sacrafice? The words are hard to discribe, but music is a big part of setting tone in fiction.
I still believe this show needed better voice actors. Teela's VA is just flat on her deliveries. Someone should do a re-dub and like that this show will improve a lot.
@My Life is a Complex Pastiche - the fact that Adam made the ultimate sacrifice made his character more meaningful. Just like when we later find him in heaven/Praeturnia, and he's the only one who chooses to exist in his basic form, even while the others choose to be in their heroic forms. It says what kind of guy he is.
Yea this series is hated a lot, but I like the little detail in here 0:44-1:14 He Man's holds the power, and from 1:14-1:50 Adam holds it, infact Adam holds the power 6 seconds longer than he did as He Man, I am not sure if this was intentional or not, if it is indeed intentional this shows that everything great about He Man's qualities come from Adam and Adam is a hero even without being He Man, later Duncan mentions in the series that Adam is the strongest person he ever knew, that certainly could tie to this scene(metaphorically of course)
Honestly, yeah. This feels like a season finale to an already established reboot. I mean, if Netflix had already given us a couple to three seasons of this, and then they could've done the revelation arc it probably would've gone over a little bit better for old time fans and newcomers. However I would've made Teela kind of broken and conflicted between her grief and her duties rather than this whole "My BFF is dead, and his parents are heartbroken but let's make it all about me." Blah, blah, blah, you get the rest. I think she has a right to be upset that Adam never told her but not that much. Again a conflict within herself because she blames herself for thinking Adam was a lazy goofball most of time when in reality she watched him give everything time and again to defend Etetnia and fought side by side with him.
@@soytumangz7374 There have been other versions where she found out and yeah, she was irritated with him at first, but she understood why, and was just happy to finally be in the circle.

I will be the first to admit, the original he man was before my time. I grew up with samurai jack and tcw. But i did know of he man courtesy of my father. And do you know what i saw?

@@richardknox4612 no, the reason He Man fans were pissed was because that crybaby Kevin Smith promised them a show with He Man as the main character, which we didn’t get and instead they gave us Teela as the protagonist, which could have worked if they made her a likeable character instead of a bitch who the audience is expected to like Nobody’s mad about women being main characters because we aren’t children who think girls are gross and have cooties, plenty of women characters have been great in the past but now they’re all the same badly written assholes who never get called out for their behaviour and never grow and stop being assholes. That’s why people had an issue with Teela, not because she was a woman, but because she was an asshole. Also her design sucked
@robertsmith6490 which is quite disappointing because the creators of both the Filmation He Man and She ra series said that they were really big on the transformation sequences which can be seen in the opening credits of both shows. For that reason I can't understand why they wouldn't have taken an active interest in creating a reverse transformation sequence for both He Man and She ra. I mean, we get a good one for He Man in The Problem With Power. But Battle Cat wasn't in that episode so he missed out all together. The episode Quest for the Sword was a missed opportunity to show a reverse transformation of He Man and Battle Cat as the episode was basically about going on a quest to retrieve the power sword so both He Man and Battle Cat could transform back into Adam and Cringer. I don't know how they missed that, and even when I first saw the episode back in 1985 I could see how badly they screwed up.
While I won't deny the overall plot went kinda..... somewhere at least, I did love how they explored a lot of what if concepts with this show, like saying the words without the sword
Replacing him, with a female chracter on purpose, then making his true form kinda more femmine than teela and other female characters. Shows like this go the route of making all the male characters incompetent, not well everyone has unique characteristics and quirks. The best thing i can compare this to is star trek lower decks. To me it looks like dragging out plot points to long to flesh out a story. Where one episode would do just fine, now from what I understand Adam returns as heman but after a hero's journey, where he bulks and skills up and truly becomes heman. Now that the rumor been going around.
It's not about heman himself it's the fact that after such a noble and good main character we are forced for almost two hours to endure the most arrogant, selfish, and petty "good person" on the entire fucken planet. Personally just write teela as a hero and not an asshole and it would have all been great.
@@gordonchell4364 No we aren't; only Teela thinks this way and her personal journey is about learning to understand/forgive and make peace with Adam. And this is coming from someone who (thus far) has only watched this show as clips on TH-cam.
I'll be honest, I don't know much about He-Man lol, is most of the He-Man stuff this awesome? Cuz I've enjoyed this show. The score, the animation and voice acting is just great in this. Super hyped for Part 2.
Depends on what you mean. The original toy line is pretty awesome A lot of the comics and story books from that era are also pretty awesome If you have nostalgia for the 80’s Filmation cartoon, or just like really cheesy cartoons of old, it can be seen as awesome as well. The New Adventures of He-Man is awesome to few… a weird thing that happened to most The 2002 Mike Young Productions show that aired on Cartoon Network is pretty awesome, it’s of the era, but it’s still pretty dope But other than all that, at its heart, He-Man, or Masters of the Universe Is a line of action figures The true fans are the ones who collect the action figures, for many reasons As someone who just attended Power-Con, a He-Man/She-Ra convention The “real fans” aren’t out how here saying this show is trash, woke, or anything like that Most of the real fans are just glad we get new He-Man Thus New action figures Just incase you’ve ran into a bunch of “true fans” complaining about this show. At the damned He-Man convention, I ran into 0 people who hated this show. So to answer your question legitimately, if you like this, then there’s no question you can get into other MOTU stuff The DC comic series from 2012 throughout the 2010’s, originally written by Geoff Johns, then taken over by James Robinson, is what truly realized my fandom Initially I’d say it’s a good starting point.
If you were a fan of he man you'd be fuming. Because he man is way more ridiculously powerful than this. They treated he man like a chump, and even made fun of his sacrifice later. Fuck revelations.
@@themarinefan Not necessarily on the first part. How do you do know every He-Man fan hated this? Cuz that's basically what you just said lol. You can't say "If you were a fan of he man you'd be fuming" cuz you don't actually know that. Sure, majority of He-Man fans didn't like this show probably. Ik cuz I've seen the outrage. But you'd be surprised that some hardcore He-Man fans like it. Ik cuz I got a friend who loves He-Man and he loved this show. Plus, like I said, don't know much about He-Man to begin with. So, this is my first real intro to it and I loved this show.
@@BULLETSCARER this really wasn't even a he man show. It was entirely a show about Teela, and it went great lengths to remove he man from the story all together. Killing him twice, removing his ability to transform properly and making him out to be the jerk when he had legitimate reason to hold a secret. Not to mention all the writer does is send pictures of himself to his staff crying about the scripts he writes. And he also adamantly said this is pirely a he man show just like the 80's. He lied. If you really wanted the he man experience I implore you to watch the original and the 2001 remake and see what you think after.
They should’ve use this to weaken Adam and break the sword. Throughout the show, as he heals, and the search for a way to repair the sword, at a certain point, Adam must use the power and then gets the beast form that we saw before. Eventually, he learns to control it so that he doesn’t need the sword. But it will be repaired in the end by Adam once he maters his control of HIS power. Oh, and this way Skeletor could figure out someway to use the power of he-man without the sword being fully intact. This would make Skeletor have the powers of he-man, but eventually Adam must get even stronger than that as he heals in order to win but then they realize repairing the sword cannot be done, and when they are about to lose, he calls on the power anyway in the last hope. By the way, the spelling is terrible, because I used voice to text and I’m not correcting it. But I think this would’ve been a better plot to follow.
Originally they were just going to depower Adam after this instead of killing him, but kevin smith a man who hated the franchise wanted to kill him so they did
Which "original story"? The mini comics? The Filmation series? The golden books? New Adventures? 200X? MotU was insanely disjointed from its outset and continues to be so. Bringing up an "original story" is largely irrelevant because of this. Just pick a canon and roll with it. Your head canon probably holds just as much weight, and that's what I love about this property.
@@tyfyghtrwell seeing as how this was announced as a direct continuation of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon and the fact that a sequal series to it already came out about their child it is safe to assume that is what they were talking about
and in the next scene Teela throws a tantrum over not not knowing He Man was Adam and then leaves everyone for 20 years. Teela is so unlikable in this show.
That orb has infinite power!? What the duck!? Why didn’t the elder just use the power to destroy Skeletor themselves!? Why didn’t the sorceress use the power to destroy Skeletor? Why is only one man allowed to use if it’s infinite and can’t be controlled!? Why did no one use this power to make infinite food or empower all the Masters and cream Skeletor in episode 1? This single retcon of the power being infinite breaks the whole lore of the Universe. It makes all these competent people who have been protecting this power and kingdom all along look like absolute morons.
Because most people can't stand the fact that reboots are done with current audiences in mind and they take every change to the characters as personal insults.
@@RequiemPoete the thing is they don’t act like this show is a reboot, they introduce a bunch of characters from the original show that only fans of the series would know about Not to mention that hack of a man Kevin Smith said this show was for He-Man fans
@Lone Wolf The fact this show has a coherent story arc spanning the whole season already makes it nothing like the original he-man show, which was strictly episodic. Plus the show isn't bad.
It is a number of things. 1. The story is the exact story we were told wasn't going to happen by the showrunner who hated the property until he was paid to like it. ( not an exaggeration kevin smith did interviews of him saying how he disliked the show to the point of hate watching it but won't say he hates it because hate is too strong on a word. That like 6 months before it came out he than started claiming he would run how too watch it and it was such an important part of his childhood.) 2. The main character. Teela was just poorly written. While she had a right to be angry/upset about what happened with He-man/Adam, her taking it out on his parents who were going through the exact same thing as her and than when she finally admits she was wrong she is told it is ok. Than when she became the Sorceress she had none of the restrictions that the others had because she isn't like them, she fights for her friends and family unlike other Sorceress despite the fact that they had a flash back of her mother heart broken that she has to give up being with her family to be the new sorceress to stop the magic from fading which as shown in the first part of season 1 was killing the planet. 3. The story. It had the makings of something good, but they tried to force too much in the little amount of episodes they got and it ended up hurting the story. Skeletor finally got the power of GreySkull and becomes a good only to have the power seduced away from him by the same person he rejected in the tie-in comic. Evil-Lyn does more damage within the first 30 seconds of having the power than Skeletor did which included destroying heaven and she gets no punishment and is treated like a victim. Skeletor was able to use the sword of power to call down the power of GreySkull, than right after Adam gives a entire speech about how the sword of power is just a tool to focus the power right before he calls down the power of GreySkull without the sword. Andra got a lot of undeserved hate because she was in the role that should of been Adam for the first half of season 1. What i mean by this is that Adam was originally going to live but they changed it because kevin smith wanted to be special and failed to do a death of superman. One thing that made the death of Superman so special is because we saw how everyone grevied and his funeral, in this we got 5 minutes of people being sad that He-Man died followed by Teela leaving everything behind everyone and everything she's ever known because she can't trust anyone anymore because she wasn't one of the 4 people let in on a secret that Adam kept from everyone including his parents
From Teela's pov: She is Adam's protector. She keeps him safe from danger and has tied her sense of self to that role. She also loves him. Anyway, Adam was supposed to be safe and sound back at the palace. He dies in front of her eyes. This would be like if you were a cop, your girlfriend became a cop, never told you and you find out when you see her getting shot when you both answered an emergency call.
@@tarnw3301while you are right and she does have a reason to be angry, they went about it all wrong. Having her take out her frustration on his parents who are literally going through the same exact thing as her is the problem. While his mother figured it out on her own, he never told them he was He-Man. So the king and queen just found out that they lost not only their protectors but their child as well. The child that the king constantly belittled and compared to He-Man. Despite all this king Randor gets called out immediately for the way he acted with Duncan, yet when Teela finally admits she was wrong for going off on them and abandoning the kingdom in its greatest time of need because she wasn't 1 of the 4 people let in on a secret that he kept from his parents she is told it is ok, that is the issue
@@zackthompson845 Okey, imagine heartbreak. Take that feeling when the person you liked the most is gone after a breakup. It stings, it burns and at the same time, you feel hollow. Teela is feeling something like that. And she's beyond caring about her future. King Randor ordered her to kick out her OWN father. That was a jerk move. And anyone on her shoes would be tempted to spit at Randor's feet. Teela disobeyed him and called him out. The King could deem her a traitor and send her to prison. She's renouncing her (old) life and (old) future. Acting like that because the man she loved is dead makes sense.
@@tarnw3301the difference is that her father actually had a part in it, while Adam's parents didn't. Duncan knew from the beginning that Adam was He-Man, he trained him and helped him keep his secret from not only his parents but also Teela. Like Zack said King Rancor immediately got called out by Queen Marlena. So while Teela had a reason to be angry, her anger is completely misplaced, at least Rancor actually took his anger our on someone who was involved in it fron the beginning
@@eddyjohnson6177 whatever the reason. Teela has known Randor since she was a child and in whatever capacity, she trusted him. Teela had every reason to feel betrayed by her father's secrecy AND Randor ordering her to arrest her father. Also, Teela is angry at life (for taking Adam away from her) and so, she was pretty much done with her own life. As far as she knew, Randor could brand her a traitor and throw her into a dungeon.
That show runner is destroying everything he said he cared about in a mythology he is ruining when he could have just passed on the project or never campaigned for it in the first place!!!! He could have created his own property and made an original story about a new property instead of ruining an established one that he never created and didn’t keep alive for four decades! Instead he is defiling it for the people who HAVE kept it alive since 1982!!! And all for woke points and internet points!!! NO!!!!!
*head shaking* +No more female screen time in any future shows at all. We are at the point all male leads get deleted. No more females ✊♂️ Bring back MEN!!!!
Because, despite how beautiful this scene was, the showrunner thought it would be nice to put Teela roasting Adam on his afterlife, after what he did for her.
The series itself and he man screentime isn't the real problem, that was the Marketing the trailer and poster shows the return of he man adventures, or at least a tribute of the 80s classic serie , but then the story focus is on something else if netflix was more honest about this show, less people would be pissed
@@lonewolf9578 it’s an angry nerd culture that doesn’t know what it wants. You revive a show or movie with a modern adaptation they’re angry it changed too much, you don’t make any changes overall they’re angry it’s the same thing as before 🤷♂️
@@josealvarez9517 the anger here is justified and I’m not even much of a he-man fan They were promised a continuation from the original series focused on He-Man, instead he gets killed off in the first episode, does barely anything for the rest of the show and the focus is shifted to Teela, which wouldn’t have been terrible but they turned her into a massive bitch and expect people to like her
With He-Man dead 🪦 there is no more show up It's not a question of can or can't. There are some things in life you just do. For everything XIII lightning farron
I cannot believe you people here. It’s called heman and the masters of the universe! Not teela and the masters of the universe! And to make shit worse, he man dies twice in the first season! Once In the first episode and again in the finale. So freaking sad. We were lied to. Kevin smith you’re a joke.
"That boy is holding the power of the Universe in his bare hands"
You’re goddamn right 🔥
I think that was the first and only time Skeletor respected He-Man no Prince Adam

The power of the universe in the palm of his hand.
Lets analyse the scene :
1) 0:01 He-Man find the solution
2) 0:08 Plot development between Teela and Adam
3) 0:19 He-Man learns it will be hard
4) 0:23 Teela cares about his friend
5) 0:29 He-Man cares about the univers and know what to do
6) 0:39 He-Man release the power of Grayskull
7) 0:44 He-Man struggles against the ultimate power of magic itself
8) 0:50 Last stand of a heros, He-Man pushes his limits, he is the strongest man of the univers, he has limits
9) 0:58 The sword breaks before He-Man's determination
10) 1:03 He-Man's friends are unable to help, only He-Man can save the univers
11) 1:08 The power of Grayskull breaks before He-Man's determination
12) 1:24 Only Adam's determination remains
13) 1:37 Skeletor evilness has no limit too, he prefers die then give up, a mark of a true vilain
14) 1:44 Teela understand what's going on and can't help
15) 1:49 He-Man's last move was to look after the one he loves
16) 1:52 He-Man dies has a true heros with pure heart
That's why He-Man is still the leader of the show, Teela is good with her friends, but she fails when she must take big decisions.

We have yet to see that with She-Ra and Swift Wind. The closest we got was when they changed back behind a tree, when they first met Sea Hawk.
@robertsmith6490 which is quite disappointing because the creators of both the Filmation He Man and She ra series said that they were really big on the transformation sequences which can be seen in the opening credits of both shows. For that reason I can't understand why they wouldn't have taken an active interest in creating a reverse transformation sequence for both He Man and She ra. I mean, we get a good one for He Man in The Problem With Power. But Battle Cat wasn't in that episode so he missed out all together.
The episode Quest for the Sword was a missed opportunity to show a reverse transformation of He Man and Battle Cat as the episode was basically about going on a quest to retrieve the power sword so both He Man and Battle Cat could transform back into Adam and Cringer. I don't know how they missed that, and even when I first saw the episode back in 1985 I could see how badly they screwed up.
This part made me cry so hard when i saw it for the first time (but also mad then as well you know, but it hits differently when you watch it again)
That music... Wow!
While I won't deny the overall plot went kinda..... somewhere at least, I did love how they explored a lot of what if concepts with this show, like saying the words without the sword
I Love This Scene!
And I Still Love This Show!
Always wanted in his final moments just say I have the power.
Didn't include the scene with Teela dropping to her knees. :(
heartbreaking!
wich episode
So, how exactly does He-Man going out like a chad to save everything and everyone he loves "emasculate him"?
Replacing him, with a female chracter on purpose, then making his true form kinda more femmine than teela and other female characters. Shows like this go the route of making all the male characters incompetent, not well everyone has unique characteristics and quirks. The best thing i can compare this to is star trek lower decks. To me it looks like dragging out plot points to long to flesh out a story. Where one episode would do just fine, now from what I understand Adam returns as heman but after a hero's journey, where he bulks and skills up and truly becomes heman. Now that the rumor been going around.
It's not about heman himself it's the fact that after such a noble and good main character we are forced for almost two hours to endure the most arrogant, selfish, and petty "good person" on the entire fucken planet. Personally just write teela as a hero and not an asshole and it would have all been great.
@@michaelreynolds9802 - you nailed it and summed it up nicely.
Because after this we are supposed to think he was selfish for keeping his identity a secret.
@@gordonchell4364 No we aren't; only Teela thinks this way and her personal journey is about learning to understand/forgive and make peace with Adam.
And this is coming from someone who (thus far) has only watched this show as clips on TH-cam.
where is the rest of the clip?
0:48 Song?
I'll be honest, I don't know much about He-Man lol, is most of the He-Man stuff this awesome? Cuz I've enjoyed this show. The score, the animation and voice acting is just great in this. Super hyped for Part 2.
same here!! i never really watched the og show, but this was great!! im so excited for part 2.
Depends on what you mean.
The original toy line is pretty awesome
A lot of the comics and story books from that era are also pretty awesome
If you have nostalgia for the 80’s Filmation cartoon, or just like really cheesy cartoons of old, it can be seen as awesome as well.
The New Adventures of He-Man is awesome to few… a weird thing that happened to most
The 2002 Mike Young Productions show that aired on Cartoon Network is pretty awesome, it’s of the era, but it’s still pretty dope
But other than all that, at its heart, He-Man, or Masters of the Universe
Is a line of action figures
The true fans are the ones who collect the action figures, for many reasons
As someone who just attended Power-Con, a He-Man/She-Ra convention
The “real fans” aren’t out how here saying this show is trash, woke, or anything like that
Most of the real fans are just glad we get new He-Man
Thus
New action figures
Just incase you’ve ran into a bunch of “true fans” complaining about this show. At the damned He-Man convention, I ran into 0 people who hated this show.
So to answer your question legitimately, if you like this, then there’s no question you can get into other MOTU stuff
The DC comic series from 2012 throughout the 2010’s, originally written by Geoff Johns, then taken over by James Robinson, is what truly realized my fandom Initially
I’d say it’s a good starting point.
If you were a fan of he man you'd be fuming. Because he man is way more ridiculously powerful than this. They treated he man like a chump, and even made fun of his sacrifice later. Fuck revelations.
@@themarinefan Not necessarily on the first part. How do you do know every He-Man fan hated this? Cuz that's basically what you just said lol. You can't say "If you were a fan of he man you'd be fuming" cuz you don't actually know that. Sure, majority of He-Man fans didn't like this show probably. Ik cuz I've seen the outrage. But you'd be surprised that some hardcore He-Man fans like it. Ik cuz I got a friend who loves He-Man and he loved this show.
Plus, like I said, don't know much about He-Man to begin with. So, this is my first real intro to it and I loved this show.
@@BULLETSCARER this really wasn't even a he man show. It was entirely a show about Teela, and it went great lengths to remove he man from the story all together. Killing him twice, removing his ability to transform properly and making him out to be the jerk when he had legitimate reason to hold a secret. Not to mention all the writer does is send pictures of himself to his staff crying about the scripts he writes. And he also adamantly said this is pirely a he man show just like the 80's. He lied. If you really wanted the he man experience I implore you to watch the original and the 2001 remake and see what you think after.
I don't understand why these writers directors keep on ruining great franchises.
Insecurity and incompetace
In Hollywood they worship the devil. They hate Good in any form.
Including he-man.
Does Chris wood voice he-man?
They should’ve use this to weaken Adam and break the sword. Throughout the show, as he heals, and the search for a way to repair the sword, at a certain point, Adam must use the power and then gets the beast form that we saw before. Eventually, he learns to control it so that he doesn’t need the sword. But it will be repaired in the end by Adam once he maters his control of HIS power. Oh, and this way Skeletor could figure out someway to use the power of he-man without the sword being fully intact. This would make Skeletor have the powers of he-man, but eventually Adam must get even stronger than that as he heals in order to win but then they realize repairing the sword cannot be done, and when they are about to lose, he calls on the power anyway in the last hope.
By the way, the spelling is terrible, because I used voice to text and I’m not correcting it. But I think this would’ve been a better plot to follow.
I would watch it.
That would have been great too.
Originally they were just going to depower Adam after this instead of killing him, but kevin smith a man who hated the franchise wanted to kill him so they did
What is the episode number
When Adam looks at Teela his facial expression is similar to Glen Quagmire in Family Guy.
He-Man never died on the original story, he defeated Skeletor. He-Man and Teela end up having a a child (He-Ro).
Now that's pretty funny
Which "original story"? The mini comics? The Filmation series? The golden books? New Adventures? 200X?
MotU was insanely disjointed from its outset and continues to be so. Bringing up an "original story" is largely irrelevant because of this. Just pick a canon and roll with it. Your head canon probably holds just as much weight, and that's what I love about this property.
@@tyfyghtrwell seeing as how this was announced as a direct continuation of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon and the fact that a sequal series to it already came out about their child it is safe to assume that is what they were talking about
I hate hate hate the Teela voice casting
What episode?
and in the next scene Teela throws a tantrum over not not knowing He Man was Adam and then leaves everyone for 20 years. Teela is so unlikable in this show.
What ep is this
1:24 was good right up until the writing at 1:50. That's where you lost the 80s crowd.
Not really. I was born in 1980 and have no problem with the show.
1975 No problems detected. I was seven when MotU came out, 1:50 was the moment when Shit got real.
1978 I had all the He-Man toys and I loved the 2 part series I hope they make more of them. There's a hint that the Horde is back and I can't wait!
I called it
I AM THE POWER
This show literally destroyed the entire franchise. MOTU is on life support now.
My favorite bear soundtrack. God of war didn’t do it for me. He’s got other great works but this is the best in my opinion
So now everyone knows He man is prince Adam
So this is a movie. And what about the he man thundercats cross over
Just read the crossover comic.
Where can I get this show!!! I really need to watch it
How dare He-Man do that to poor Teela. Truly, she is the victim in all this.
I always believe this is how MOTU should have ended. He-man and Skeletor die together, or neither should.
That orb has infinite power!? What the duck!? Why didn’t the elder just use the power to destroy Skeletor themselves!?
Why didn’t the sorceress use the power to destroy Skeletor? Why is only one man allowed to use if it’s infinite and can’t be controlled!? Why did no one use this power to make infinite food or empower all the Masters and cream Skeletor in episode 1?
This single retcon of the power being infinite breaks the whole lore of the Universe. It makes all these competent people who have been protecting this power and kingdom all along look like absolute morons.
As far as I’m concerned you can pretty much just skip to season two
I have a question do people hate this new series because of the ending or because of the series overall
Yes.
Because most people can't stand the fact that reboots are done with current audiences in mind and they take every change to the characters as personal insults.
@@RequiemPoete the thing is they don’t act like this show is a reboot, they introduce a bunch of characters from the original show that only fans of the series would know about
Not to mention that hack of a man Kevin Smith said this show was for He-Man fans
@Lone Wolf The fact this show has a coherent story arc spanning the whole season already makes it nothing like the original he-man show, which was strictly episodic. Plus the show isn't bad.
It is a number of things.
1. The story is the exact story we were told wasn't going to happen by the showrunner who hated the property until he was paid to like it. ( not an exaggeration kevin smith did interviews of him saying how he disliked the show to the point of hate watching it but won't say he hates it because hate is too strong on a word. That like 6 months before it came out he than started claiming he would run how too watch it and it was such an important part of his childhood.)
2. The main character. Teela was just poorly written. While she had a right to be angry/upset about what happened with He-man/Adam, her taking it out on his parents who were going through the exact same thing as her and than when she finally admits she was wrong she is told it is ok. Than when she became the Sorceress she had none of the restrictions that the others had because she isn't like them, she fights for her friends and family unlike other Sorceress despite the fact that they had a flash back of her mother heart broken that she has to give up being with her family to be the new sorceress to stop the magic from fading which as shown in the first part of season 1 was killing the planet.
3. The story. It had the makings of something good, but they tried to force too much in the little amount of episodes they got and it ended up hurting the story. Skeletor finally got the power of GreySkull and becomes a good only to have the power seduced away from him by the same person he rejected in the tie-in comic. Evil-Lyn does more damage within the first 30 seconds of having the power than Skeletor did which included destroying heaven and she gets no punishment and is treated like a victim. Skeletor was able to use the sword of power to call down the power of GreySkull, than right after Adam gives a entire speech about how the sword of power is just a tool to focus the power right before he calls down the power of GreySkull without the sword. Andra got a lot of undeserved hate because she was in the role that should of been Adam for the first half of season 1. What i mean by this is that Adam was originally going to live but they changed it because kevin smith wanted to be special and failed to do a death of superman. One thing that made the death of Superman so special is because we saw how everyone grevied and his funeral, in this we got 5 minutes of people being sad that He-Man died followed by Teela leaving everything behind everyone and everything she's ever known because she can't trust anyone anymore because she wasn't one of the 4 people let in on a secret that Adam kept from everyone including his parents
This shouldve been the season finale, we shouldve seen more of he man, but they baited and switched 😑😔
put a mustache on teela at any point of the show and that's 100% a man
😂
She’s the new sea hawk
Dude she looks no different than how she did in the 80’s.
@@andreayton1586 Have you watched episode 2-5?
@@reputationlovechild Yes I have
Oh no 😟
The original tops all later versions...
Adam goes out like a man, and all Teela can do is be mad at him for not telling her. Trash tier person.
From Teela's pov:
She is Adam's protector. She keeps him safe from danger and has tied her sense of self to that role.
She also loves him.
Anyway, Adam was supposed to be safe and sound back at the palace. He dies in front of her eyes.
This would be like if you were a cop, your girlfriend became a cop, never told you and you find out when you see her getting shot when you both answered an emergency call.
@@tarnw3301while you are right and she does have a reason to be angry, they went about it all wrong. Having her take out her frustration on his parents who are literally going through the same exact thing as her is the problem. While his mother figured it out on her own, he never told them he was He-Man. So the king and queen just found out that they lost not only their protectors but their child as well. The child that the king constantly belittled and compared to He-Man. Despite all this king Randor gets called out immediately for the way he acted with Duncan, yet when Teela finally admits she was wrong for going off on them and abandoning the kingdom in its greatest time of need because she wasn't 1 of the 4 people let in on a secret that he kept from his parents she is told it is ok, that is the issue
@@zackthompson845
Okey, imagine heartbreak.
Take that feeling when the person you liked the most is gone after a breakup. It stings, it burns and at the same time, you feel hollow.
Teela is feeling something like that. And she's beyond caring about her future.
King Randor ordered her to kick out her OWN father. That was a jerk move. And anyone on her shoes would be tempted to spit at Randor's feet.
Teela disobeyed him and called him out. The King could deem her a traitor and send her to prison.
She's renouncing her (old) life and (old) future. Acting like that because the man she loved is dead makes sense.
@@tarnw3301the difference is that her father actually had a part in it, while Adam's parents didn't. Duncan knew from the beginning that Adam was He-Man, he trained him and helped him keep his secret from not only his parents but also Teela. Like Zack said King Rancor immediately got called out by Queen Marlena. So while Teela had a reason to be angry, her anger is completely misplaced, at least Rancor actually took his anger our on someone who was involved in it fron the beginning
@@eddyjohnson6177 whatever the reason.
Teela has known Randor since she was a child and in whatever capacity, she trusted him.
Teela had every reason to feel betrayed by her father's secrecy AND Randor ordering her to arrest her father.
Also, Teela is angry at life (for taking Adam away from her) and so, she was pretty much done with her own life. As far as she knew, Randor could brand her a traitor and throw her into a dungeon.
Why did they call this a he-man show if we never saw it from his perspective.
KIng Greyskull did the same,
Should’ve ended the season here.
That show runner is destroying everything he said he cared about in a mythology he is ruining when he could have just passed on the project or never campaigned for it in the first place!!!! He could have created his own property and made an original story about a new property instead of ruining an established one that he never created and didn’t keep alive for four decades! Instead he is defiling it for the people who HAVE kept it alive since 1982!!! And all for woke points and internet points!!! NO!!!!!
He-Man's voice though, oof!
This show had so much promise. Shame that it ended up woke.
I wouldn’t say woke, just badly written
@@lonewolf9578 both to in sync cause they wanted feminist propaganda with she ra and he man stayed in the way

Tell me more about how this show disrespected He-Man. *all the eye-rolls*
Because he was killed off two times and hardly had any screen time?
@@hildegardvonbingen9092 He doesn’t die at the end. He’s just been stabbed. Wait until part 2 comes out before assuming he’s dead
@@andreayton1586 a whole part without the main character lmaooooo. 95% of the show doesn’t have him, that’s enough to judge the show.
Because, despite how beautiful this scene was, the showrunner thought it would be nice to put Teela roasting Adam on his afterlife, after what he did for her.
The series itself and he man screentime isn't the real problem, that was the Marketing
the trailer and poster shows the return of he man adventures, or at least a tribute of the 80s classic serie , but then the story focus is on something else
if netflix was more honest about this show, less people would be pissed
Even if they brought the show back exactly like the 80s but in HD you angry nerds would still be upset because it’s then too 80s 🙄
Imagine using nerds as an insult in the 2020s

@@josealvarez9517 the anger here is justified and I’m not even much of a he-man fan
They were promised a continuation from the original series focused on He-Man, instead he gets killed off in the first episode, does barely anything for the rest of the show and the focus is shifted to Teela, which wouldn’t have been terrible but they turned her into a massive bitch and expect people to like her

No wonder why they gave up on this it was complete shit
And this began the trans teela show
Ugh. Such wasted potential.
God I hate this show.

So many sexist comments. Makes me sick

I cannot believe you people here. It’s called heman and the masters of the universe! Not teela and the masters of the universe! And to make shit worse, he man dies twice in the first season! Once In the first episode and again in the finale. So freaking sad. We were lied to. Kevin smith you’re a joke.
