It was Mattel that pulled the plug on it because they cancelled the toyline due to poor toy sales in the us and canada because Mattel messed up the case ratios with too many He-Man an Skeletors taking up peg spaces instead of other character like Orko, Teela, etc, the kids couldn't find the other figures and by the time Mattel had fxied it kids had moved onto something else.
You mean Revelations by "netflix version, them yea, I couldn't agree more. And I'm saying" Revelations", because there is anouther He-Man show there. The CGI one. And it is quite dicent).
This was the best cartoon there has been outside of marvel and DC since it came out. Can't believe they cancelled it after just 2 seasons.

Thank you Kevin Smith, if it wasn't for you a lot of us would have not discovered this awesome 2002 series of He-Man. I really hope they release the HD version of this series.
I grew up on the original, so when the reboot started I watch it. I liked the more adult feel of the show but it still made it fun for kids. My only complaint was the toys. I had so many problems trying to find them. From what I understand other people had the same issues with the toys. So if kids and collectors can’t get the toys, then the show suffers.
I copped 4 toys when they first came out......He-Man, Skeletor, Teela and Ram Man. I got a couple of others years later.....but unfortunately lost all of them along with my OG toys when I lost my storage in 2017.

I grew up in the 80's He-Man cartoon and this reboot came out when I was in college. However when I saw this series it blew me away. It's a real shame that this series never got a proper ending which we would see them fight Hordak and the Horde. I hope one day we could get that conclusion.
Funnily enough,here in Greece,this reboot was what intoduced everyone to Masters of the Universe.It was popular and beloved.I definitely had a good time watching it.
They should have done the continuation of this series ( 2002 ) same animation and all so we could see the confrontation with Hordak and the Horde. Instead, they made this Revelations show. It's not that bad but i liked the 2002 series better. My opinion.
This show was freaking awesome and it's a crying shame that it got cancelled after 39 episodes. The studio had more planned for this series. Hordak was supposed to return and conquer Eternia. He-Man and the Masters would have been on the run and trying to fight back. Skeletor would have eventually been the one to overthrow him, in doing so he would have become more powerful than before and become the series head villain again.
Its not really a retelling, there wasnt a telling to begin with since the original show didnt really have a straighfoward continuity, this is a very coherent reboot of the original that incorperates the story elements the original established and fits it together in a way that works
Just coming after watching the masters of the universe from netflix aka teela show, damn i miss so much of the MOTU 2002 show, this is one of the best he man show ever
I can’t believe they killed He-Man at the very beginning, then brought him back to be killed AGAIN. At least in The Last Jedi, Luke only died once. This would be like if they brought him back to life in The Rise of Skywalker just so Palpatine could kill him.
@@icbm50 Agreed, I honestly would have kept watching, but I couldn't get pased the part where she tries to guilt Adam's grieving mother over not telling her about He-Man. I have no problem with a new change of direction for Teela, but if you're going to have her turn her back on everyone atleast give her some decent motivation. What kills me is the show set her up to have a decent reason to leave to set up this grittier atmosphere they wanted. Before she goes off the rails, she's told to BANISH HER FATHER by an understanbly upset Randor. Instead of having her flip out over not being told He-Man's identity and telling everyone to fuck off, she could've just said no and then guilt crazed Randor could just banish both of them. Teela then spends her time adventuring to help care for her broken father before being given the big quest.
If the series had continued past the "Snake Men", we would have gotten a chance to see Hordak and the Horde, which potentially could have brought in She-Ra.
For some reason I believe the females would've looked sexy if She-Ra would've been in this cartoon series. I can already imagine Castaspella and a sexy Catra unlike the new She-Ra garbage that aired.
I think the origin of Skeletor was created in a short series of comic book in the 80s. maybe in the revamp they just inspired themselves from it or created their own thing.
Maybe he man can finally get a good show Kevin smith: Fuck that were gonna sailor moon he man's transformation, make unlikable characters likeable and kill them, and destroy my credibility while I'm at it
@@basestationps9479 If I may? There’s been a lot of rumors floating around that He-Man will pretty much lose the first fight in the show, disappear and leave Teela to fix everything as the main character. There’s some other stuff as well but this is probably the reason a lot of us don’t dare trust that this will be good.
@@miraihibino1277 I see, but in my opinion it would give more depth to the other characters in the show as the original didn’t. So if they do it right it could very well be equal to or be better than the original.
This show had the same essence of the 2011 Thundercats series, awesome show but got cut indefinitely. As far as I'm concerned, this is the He Man reboot we got, not that abysmal netflix one.
Gary Chalk(optimus prime/primal) was in it as man at arms also. I remember loving the insane amount of strength HeMan had in it, lifting enormous boulders the size of a house, and everyone was twirling their melee weapons helicopter style.
The manly silverback thundering Alpha male voice of this He-man here gave me a quirky mangasm everytime he would yell out: "I have the powerrrrrr!" In that deep voice of his.
The Heman 2002 series was such a breath air of a reboot! Gone are the ' Lets wait for Heman' plots and now more action from the Actual Masters of The Universe! I thought it was terrible shame it suffered the unusual time shift airings( signs of cancellation) and later pushed onto Boomerang later; but will always remembered as a fantastic show that honored the 80s Heman!
This reboot was actually very amazing in my opinion and even better than the original in terms of fully fleshed out lure. I loves how everything had an explanation for why things were. And the the best aspect was making sense of why the castle was called Gray Skull and all that history that predated He-man. I love the significance of classic enemies like Hordak and King Hiss being enemies of Gray Skull way before He-man was creating, giving them a step up in how dangerous they were compared to Skeletor. And I loves the power scaling. Not only did you have differences between different characters, but He-man was not always the most powerful.
Watched MOTU2002 10 years ago and was blown away. Want to buy it now, but it seems unavailable. I watched the 1983-1986 series everyday at age 4-6 but 2002 version is way better. Love it!
I watched the original show in my childhood, this in my 20s and now Revelations in my 40s. This is still my favourite. Only thing the new one has going for it is Cringer, Orco and Evil Lyn.
@@Foghornish spoilers They killed off Orko as well. It's why I said had. Lying skinny Bob dropped the ball and failed that universe so harder isn't funny. Ffs Teela doesn't even face consequences of her monumental screw-up. So busy being angry she's derelict in her duties, and abandoned her post. Her jobs before promotion didn't cease afterward promotion. She was the captain of the guard, and this should have earned her a death sentence, Bodyguard to Prince Adam. Berates his father for adam , while he's actively mourning the loss of his son. That alone should've gotten her 0 seized and lockedup. Sorry about the rant I've seen worse with a way better screenplay than the drek they threw at Netflix
Better art direction, too. It went for a more action-packed approach while retaining the charm of the classic toys and cartoon. The art in Revelations was a soulless attempt at nostalgia and Orko's eyes freaked me out.
For Orco's Background: The Dimension, where Eternia lies and Orco's dimension are neighbours, but seperated through a dimensional barrier. On Trolla, Orco's homeworld, he was indeed the mightiest Wizzard of his kind. But one of his spell went wrong and he landed on Eternia where the power of Castle Grayskull overwhelms his own so he can't really use his powers and isn't treated serious by his friends and more like a comic relief character. In the series, we see one of his ancestors interact with King Grayskull and it seemed, that his magic worked because Castle Grayskull was a "ordinary" castle at that time
@@joeesperanto678 Eh, what's that supposed to mean? There were always strong women in the original series, right from the start. The fact that He-Man (the character) worked *with* the other chars, and the women weren't just sitting around waiting for him to show up/save them, was one of the cooler things about the original series IMO. It's a big part of what I didn't like here - original!Teela would have totally worked with folks to make things better from the start, not struck out on her own leaving the kingdom/planet to suffer, or had to be convinced (again, for mostly personal reasons).
This series was absolutely brilliant, was so angry when it got cancelled. For those who don't know, if you buy the 4 disc DVD set, on the 4th disc, there is a pdf comic of the unproduced 40th episode.
I liked He Man 2002 because the characters designs, voices and the episodes are a lot better than the origianl He Man Series from the 80s. Although I still wished the series have two or three more episodes after episode 39 when King Hiss and Serpos were defeated by He Man and Zodak before it's finished forever. I mean they left the final episode as cliffhangers with some unanswer question like: 1. Have the master of the universe rebuild the Kingdom of Enternia that was destroyed by Serpos? 2.Has Sorceress recover from King Hiss's venom and her scar are finally gone? 3. Have Skeletor and his minion resurface with Snake Mountain now have three heads instead of one? 4. What became of the Snakemen after King Hiss is gone and they retreat in ep 39? 5. Have Teela finally learn that she's the Sorceress daughter and has her own power awaken as well as learn of her destiny? 6. Is Fristo (Man-At-Arms's brother) finally remember his past like is he the Sorceress's forgotten husband and is he Teela's real father? 7. Has Prince Adam finally reveal his secret to his parents and master of the universe that he's He Man this whole time and how will they react? 8. Where's Ork in episode 39 since he disappeared after episode 34?
We needed this to continue, they were even planning on spinning off their own She-Ra. They have finished concept art for her, it was gonna be better than Netflix's nonfan's-fiction She-Ra series by default.
The most memorable part of this intro is they interrupt the intro. The first season opening though was better casue Adam was just standing there deadpan like this was boring, as how a prepubescent kid would act trying to explain something.
It's definitely incredible and unfortunately no one seems to talk about this version as much as the 80s version. Nonetheless, if you haven't seen it yet, it's all on TH-cam, and I recommend that you check it out.
This series and many others that were on Cartoon Network were trashed by those who run the station. The popular shows aren't given a proper run or time slot and advertising. The people who run Cartoon Network don't like anime or action series. They just keep putting on stupid comedy cartoons with bad animation and bad story telling on the network. The shows don't even give good morals. They completely cut them from this He-Man series and I only saw them on the DVD release. Kids today are being deprived of good television.
Those people should have been fired for being disrespectful, rude, assholes who no respect for true art or the fact that people loved descent shows for a logical reason. I hate it when such assholes are in charge and they are not fired like they should have been.
@UCb2rW5Um9VR5xiX17h4Y9cg I'm just saying it as I've seen it. There's been a big decrease in good animation in the past 20 to 30 years. I prefer detailed animation over simplified. And serious over stupidity for storytelling.
Willis Jackson+ Today's kids are far luckier than us. They have MCU, Sony Marvel movies, X Men movies, DC comics universe, DC animated movies and video games, today's Superhero Web series are far better than 80s and 90s. We more millions of Anime shows than ever. When we were kids we could only dream of watching a Superhero movie in theater every year, but today there at least 3 to 4 superhero movies running at the same time.
@@comrade3186 That depends. Do you like the movies that change the original content of the comics and don't stay true to how the characters were developed or do you like it when they keep the original story alive? Myself personally I prefer to keep it to the original content.
@@blacklivesorblackvotes2985 I was laughing at you man babies, not crying. But im well aware of the internet trope of "reply = mad" so I dont put much stock in anything youre saying.
This was my He-Man growing up. I had all the McDonald's toys. My grandmother and parents got me a whole mess of toys for my 5th birthday. Castle Greyskull, He-Man, Skeletor, Tri-Klops, Beast-Man, Man-At-Arms, Mekanek, Battle-Cat, and a VHS tape with the TV movie. I wish I still had them, but 5 year old me and my then toddler brother were rough on toys.
I like both shows the original and the 2002 reboot, this show helped to expand the lore and give some characters more screentime for example Roboto, Meka-Neck and Buzz-Off
This was a series that was cut off way too soon. It was everything a He-Man show should emulate. the 2nd interpretation sucked, but this one did it right.
Unfortunately, toy sales are the end all be all for series like this. They botched things on that end so it didn't matter how good the tie-in was or how well received it was if it did not shift units (of toys which were not available in time, mind you).
This reboot was so awesome!!! It was on Netflix for awhile, and they pulled it!! And we all now know why! Me and my friends watched it every Saturday night. Story was amazing.
@@FakeJake5843 that doesn’t mean it’s going to be bad though? It just means we’d get more familiar with the rest of the characters instead of just seeing them around doing nothing but getting saved like in the original
Ty. My man. I feel like this 1000%, excellent combination of action, backstory, n further detail of these characters. Trying to stay true as much as possible to og he-man.
Man! I loved this show! Still can’t understand how it didn’t catch on like it should have? Blew the old 80’s cartoon out of the water and down the street somewhere lol. For me each individual character had their own backstory. Man that was dope! Still have on dvd to. Cop the figures to when I could find em.
I hope they’ll come with the 2002 series on He-man’s YT page. They already have the OG show and the 90s remake. BTW: if you wanna watch the OG He-man show and the 90s remake, you can watch it free on TH-cam. (But you didn’t hear it from me🤫)
It’s possible. Thundercats Roar apparently introduced people to the 2011 reboot because of how lackluster it was and a lot of people loved it. It would be nice if it happened here.
Funny how you said Adam has to protect his identity of He Man so he doesn't get shanked by Skeletor. That's exactly what happened in Netflix Masters of the Universe. Did you time travel?
I really liked 2002-2004 He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe! The character designs were good, the animation was decent and Adam was designed smaller than He-Man. Which is a good thing! It should not have obvious that Adam and He-Man were the same man. I really liked how He-Man, Man At Arms, Teela, Orko and the Sorceress were depicted. The writing was solid. I agree that the music wasn't great. Overall it was a good show. The new Netflix show looks amazing from the trailer, but it has been revealed it's going to be mostly about Teela and the others as they try to find He-Man after a big battle with Skeletor. I think I'll skip this one.
He - Man 2000s, TMNT and Jackie Chan Adventures are all criminally underrated. He Man was a cool show, Skeltor was awesome and the overall show had some cool characters and stories. TMNT was my favorite and in my opinion the best Ninja Turtles show ever made. The Shredder ( until finding out it was basically Krane) was one of my favorite villains ever... AND THAT VOICE AND THEME IS STILL AMAZING ... In my top 10 cartoons ever. JCA - Awesome fun show that I loved as a kid. I loved the Chinese mythology, demons, talismans, Shindu especially... Everything. I know it falls off in later seasons which TMNT does also.

Teela then spends her time adventuring to help care for her broken father before being given the big quest.
I KNEW PEOPLE WOULD COME BACK TO THIS AMAZING REBOOT!this was one of my vert favorite shows on cartoon network 😌
i love how many thing that were introduced in this series (eg, King Greyskull, Skeletor's origin) were incorporated into the original MOTU universe
If the series had continued past the "Snake Men", we would have gotten a chance to see Hordak and the Horde, which potentially could have brought in She-Ra.
For some reason I believe the females would've looked sexy if She-Ra would've been in this cartoon series. I can already imagine Castaspella and a sexy Catra unlike the new She-Ra garbage that aired.
@@derangedcrouton1864 Nice.
I think the origin of Skeletor was created in a short series of comic book in the 80s. maybe in the revamp they just inspired themselves from it or created their own thing.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 that one was more implied, this was the one that confirmed that Keldor and Skeletor are the same person
Maybe he man can finally get a good show
Kevin smith: Fuck that were gonna sailor moon he man's transformation, make unlikable characters likeable and kill them, and destroy my credibility while I'm at it
Loved this back then, still holds up. FAR better than the new shit one on Netflix.
Indeed
Agreed
This will remain a better He-Man than the netflix show. Mark my words.
Why do you say that? (Just curious don’t want an argument)
@@basestationps9479 Because of potential forced identity politics.
@@brygei3806 what do you mean?
@@basestationps9479 If I may?
There’s been a lot of rumors floating around that He-Man will pretty much lose the first fight in the show, disappear and leave Teela to fix everything as the main character. There’s some other stuff as well but this is probably the reason a lot of us don’t dare trust that this will be good.
@@miraihibino1277 I see, but in my opinion it would give more depth to the other characters in the show as the original didn’t. So if they do it right it could very well be equal to or be better than the original.
This version of He-Man shits on Revelations.
This show had the same essence of the 2011 Thundercats series, awesome show but got cut indefinitely. As far as I'm concerned, this is the He Man reboot we got, not that abysmal netflix one.
agreed
90s shows will always be better
Both this and the 2011 Thundercats were soo good
This reboot was damn near perfect.....Cam Clarke (Leonardo of the 1987 TMNT series) was great as Adam/He-Man
Facts. The reboot was lit. I still watch it today. Hopefully the new Netflix series will also be good.
Gary Chalk(optimus prime/primal) was in it as man at arms also. I remember loving the insane amount of strength HeMan had in it, lifting enormous boulders the size of a house, and everyone was twirling their melee weapons helicopter style.
The manly silverback thundering Alpha male voice of this He-man here gave me a quirky mangasm everytime he would yell out: "I have the powerrrrrr!" In that deep voice of his.
I always remembered Cam Clarke as Liquid Snake, but when I first found out he did the voice of Adam/He-Man I was all like “He’s not British?!”
@@blaxpoitation8528 I came from the future. It is very dark here. I think I will stay your time for a minute.
The Heman 2002 series was such a breath air of a reboot! Gone are the ' Lets wait for Heman' plots and now more action from the Actual Masters of The Universe! I thought it was terrible shame it suffered the unusual time shift airings( signs of cancellation) and later pushed onto Boomerang later; but will always remembered as a fantastic show that honored the 80s Heman!
My kid loved this growing up. My kid hates the new one. And so do I.
This reboot was actually very amazing in my opinion and even better than the original in terms of fully fleshed out lure. I loves how everything had an explanation for why things were. And the the best aspect was making sense of why the castle was called Gray Skull and all that history that predated He-man. I love the significance of classic enemies like Hordak and King Hiss being enemies of Gray Skull way before He-man was creating, giving them a step up in how dangerous they were compared to Skeletor. And I loves the power scaling. Not only did you have differences between different characters, but He-man was not always the most powerful.
Watched MOTU2002 10 years ago and was blown away. Want to buy it now, but it seems unavailable. I watched the 1983-1986 series everyday at age 4-6 but 2002 version is way better. Love it!
I watched the original show in my childhood, this in my 20s and now Revelations in my 40s. This is still my favourite. Only thing the new one has going for it is Cringer, Orco and Evil Lyn.
Had.
@@blkbrdmntrvimes6438 had?
@@Foghornish spoilers
They killed off Orko as well.
It's why I said had.
Lying skinny Bob dropped the ball and failed that universe so harder isn't funny.
Ffs Teela doesn't even face consequences of her monumental screw-up.
So busy being angry she's derelict in her duties, and abandoned her post.
Her jobs before promotion didn't cease afterward promotion.
She was the captain of the guard, and this should have earned her a death sentence, Bodyguard to Prince Adam. Berates his father for adam , while he's actively mourning the loss of his son.
That alone should've gotten her 0 seized and lockedup.
Sorry about the rant I've seen worse with a way better screenplay than the drek they threw at Netflix
Much better than the Kevin Smith’s reboot
I heard about it with he man fans calling it the last Jedi of the he man franchise. That's an ouch.
@@MusicFan752 Because it truly is...Teela is the new Rey!
Well I hope so cuz it's a sequel not reboot lol
@@ameer781 Sequel to what?
@@Darthwgamer it’s actually that one girl from last Jedi
This video is gonna explode in popularity.
How was this made in 2002, probably with a tiny budget and yet it still has better animation then Revaluations?!?
Because people actually took their jobs seriously back then
Better art direction, too. It went for a more action-packed approach while retaining the charm of the classic toys and cartoon. The art in Revelations was a soulless attempt at nostalgia and Orko's eyes freaked me out.
For Orco's Background: The Dimension, where Eternia lies and Orco's dimension are neighbours, but seperated through a dimensional barrier. On Trolla, Orco's homeworld, he was indeed the mightiest Wizzard of his kind. But one of his spell went wrong and he landed on Eternia where the power of Castle Grayskull overwhelms his own so he can't really use his powers and isn't treated serious by his friends and more like a comic relief character. In the series, we see one of his ancestors interact with King Grayskull and it seemed, that his magic worked because Castle Grayskull was a "ordinary" castle at that time
Yeah he was the great mage Overseer of his time. Like a sort of god actually. They nerfed him to cater the little g+ kiddie audience of the time.
@@joeesperanto678 Also so that every problem couldn't be solved by Orko throwing a mountain on someone - gotta serve the narrative :)
@@mandisaw No one should look better than He-man, except for Teela now since "Vagina power" is now a thing.
@@joeesperanto678 Eh, what's that supposed to mean? There were always strong women in the original series, right from the start. The fact that He-Man (the character) worked *with* the other chars, and the women weren't just sitting around waiting for him to show up/save them, was one of the cooler things about the original series IMO.
It's a big part of what I didn't like here - original!Teela would have totally worked with folks to make things better from the start, not struck out on her own leaving the kingdom/planet to suffer, or had to be convinced (again, for mostly personal reasons).
You forgot to mention that he also lost his wand shortly after landing on Eternia, which affected his magical ability.
This is still a great series to watch.
I loved this 2002 reboot and your video is now more relevant than ever after today's release of the horrendous "Revelation" by Kevin Smith
Amen
Hey are you still around?
This series was absolutely brilliant, was so angry when it got cancelled.
For those who don't know, if you buy the 4 disc DVD set, on the 4th disc, there is a pdf comic of the unproduced 40th episode.
Thank you so much for letting me know dude. And I absolutely love the show too, it was truly great
@@deniahmetaj anytime bro
Hey bro, can you share me the link of the DVD page? I'm thinking of buying it.
That's amazon
@@LeQuack911 sorry, every time I put the link it gets deleted
I liked He Man 2002 because the characters designs, voices and the episodes are a lot better than the origianl He Man Series from the 80s. Although I still wished the series have two or three more episodes after episode 39 when King Hiss and Serpos were defeated by He Man and Zodak before it's finished forever.
I mean they left the final episode as cliffhangers with some unanswer question like:
1. Have the master of the universe rebuild the Kingdom of Enternia that was destroyed by Serpos?
2.Has Sorceress recover from King Hiss's venom and her scar are finally gone?
3. Have Skeletor and his minion resurface with Snake Mountain now have three heads instead of one?
4. What became of the Snakemen after King Hiss is gone and they retreat in ep 39?
5. Have Teela finally learn that she's the Sorceress daughter and has her own power awaken as well as learn of her destiny?
6. Is Fristo (Man-At-Arms's brother) finally remember his past like is he the Sorceress's forgotten husband and is he Teela's real father?
7. Has Prince Adam finally reveal his secret to his parents and master of the universe that he's He Man this whole time and how will they react?
8. Where's Ork in episode 39 since he disappeared after episode 34?
This videos relevance just shot through the roof. Welcome Revelation Refugees
I remember when this, 2003 TMNT and Transformers Armada aired on TV during saturday. Good times.
The best three cartoons of the time!!!
@Shin Shaman stride*
We needed this to continue, they were even planning on spinning off their own She-Ra. They have finished concept art for her, it was gonna be better than Netflix's nonfan's-fiction She-Ra series by default.
The most memorable part of this intro is they interrupt the intro. The first season opening though was better casue Adam was just standing there deadpan like this was boring, as how a prepubescent kid would act trying to explain something.
I grew up watching cartoon network in the early 2000s I never knew this even existed until today...
The animation, action and fight scenes were top notch!😉
It was fckn awesome
It's definitely incredible and unfortunately no one seems to talk about this version as much as the 80s version. Nonetheless, if you haven't seen it yet, it's all on TH-cam, and I recommend that you check it out.
Same here ,thanks to my brother s VCR cassettes, I was able to watch them then
Boy, are you in for a treat. Very good adaptation of He Man, so much lore and character development
Kevin Smith: "I've made the best He-Man reboot, please like it."
He-Man fans: "We had the best He-Man reboot, it was made in 2002."
This series and many others that were on Cartoon Network were trashed by those who run the station. The popular shows aren't given a proper run or time slot and advertising. The people who run Cartoon Network don't like anime or action series. They just keep putting on stupid comedy cartoons with bad animation and bad story telling on the network. The shows don't even give good morals. They completely cut them from this He-Man series and I only saw them on the DVD release. Kids today are being deprived of good television.
Yes
Those people should have been fired for being disrespectful, rude, assholes who no respect for true art or the fact that people loved descent shows for a logical reason. I hate it when such assholes are in charge and they are not fired like they should have been.
@UCb2rW5Um9VR5xiX17h4Y9cg I'm just saying it as I've seen it. There's been a big decrease in good animation in the past 20 to 30 years. I prefer detailed animation over simplified. And serious over stupidity for storytelling.
Willis Jackson+ Today's kids are far luckier than us. They have MCU, Sony Marvel movies, X Men movies, DC comics universe, DC animated movies and video games, today's Superhero Web series are far better than 80s and 90s. We more millions of Anime shows than ever. When we were kids we could only dream of watching a Superhero movie in theater every year, but today there at least 3 to 4 superhero movies running at the same time.
@@comrade3186 That depends. Do you like the movies that change the original content of the comics and don't stay true to how the characters were developed or do you like it when they keep the original story alive? Myself personally I prefer to keep it to the original content.
Much more of a reboot than the 2021 adaption
Uh yeah because the Netflix show isn't a reboot,its a sequel
Right? It is not a reboot OR an adaptation. It's a continuation of the original. You babies will cry about anything.
@@MobyShtick Then why are you here watching a video praising the 2002 version?
@@MobyShtick says the baby crying about the comments. Look in the mirror and laugh at yourself👶
@@blacklivesorblackvotes2985 I was laughing at you man babies, not crying. But im well aware of the internet trope of "reply = mad" so I dont put much stock in anything youre saying.
This was my He-Man growing up. I had all the McDonald's toys. My grandmother and parents got me a whole mess of toys for my 5th birthday. Castle Greyskull, He-Man, Skeletor, Tri-Klops, Beast-Man, Man-At-Arms, Mekanek, Battle-Cat, and a VHS tape with the TV movie. I wish I still had them, but 5 year old me and my then toddler brother were rough on toys.
This and the ThunderCats 2011 reboot were actually amazing and faithful to the original lore. Unlike ThunderCats Roar and MotU: Revelations
Let piss all over the original by constantly praising its overrated reboot.
oh wow a show with actual he man as the main character instead of just 2 episodes that he was killed on in twice. crazy
This was ahead of its time at 2002
I like both shows the original and the 2002 reboot, this show helped to expand the lore and give some characters more screentime for example Roboto, Meka-Neck and Buzz-Off
It was foolish of us to even think for a second that a show called "HE-MAN" could go unscathed in this day and age 😔
If thundercats wasn't safe we should've known he-man wasn't
Wow this was so much better than the new series that just came out
This was such an awesome show. So sad when it got canceled.
This was a series that was cut off way too soon. It was everything a He-Man show should emulate. the 2nd interpretation sucked, but this one did it right.
This and the thundercats reboot that used to play on adult swim
The new She-ra and that dumb Thundercats ROAR abomination really ruined it for everyone else.
@@joeesperanto678 EXACTLY!!
Unfortunately, toy sales are the end all be all for series like this. They botched things on that end so it didn't matter how good the tie-in was or how well received it was if it did not shift units (of toys which were not available in time, mind you).
Because of what happened to Skeletor. It was so disturbing that we now have a collective fear of fire.
This joint right here was one of the best reboots EVER!! Closest you’ll see to the original.
half a year old and now more important to see this vid then ever!
I love how he switches from a bottom to a top. He Man is so versatile.
I see what you did there
This reboot was so awesome!!! It was on Netflix for awhile, and they pulled it!! And we all now know why! Me and my friends watched it every Saturday night. Story was amazing.
Still better than Netflix’s “Adaption”
This show is definitely the best version of He-Man hands down!
We'll see if this is still true after the new reboot
It will probably the best after it to because the new one people are saying is gonna suck
He man is not even gonna be the main character in upcoming one
@@FakeJake5843 that doesn’t mean it’s going to be bad though? It just means we’d get more familiar with the rest of the characters instead of just seeing them around doing nothing but getting saved like in the original
Ty. My man. I feel like this 1000%, excellent combination of action, backstory, n further detail of these characters. Trying to stay true as much as possible to og he-man.
I've got the original, 2002, and futuristic series of He-man. All entertaining. I like that they have differences between Adam and He-man.
Came here to appreciate this remake because I just watched that Netflix debauchery
And somehow this version is never mentioned every time the new show gets talk about smh
Legally I believe they can't touch or mention this show
Way better than the revelations abomination.
Definitely
OW YEAH!
Yep
Absolutely
Amen bro
Still one of my favorite reboots along with the Thundercats 2011
Compared to the abomination we just got. This was a freaking masterpiece! I thought the story was greatly done.
Man! I loved this show! Still can’t understand how it didn’t catch on like it should have? Blew the old 80’s cartoon out of the water and down the street somewhere lol. For me each individual character had their own backstory. Man that was dope! Still have on dvd to. Cop the figures to when I could find em.
This reboot is what Drew me into motu more! Excellently done!
Look at that...Teela actually looks like a woman here and can STILL be competent without having to emasculate/upstage Adam/He-Man
That is what classic shows did they made Characters look human
I hope they’ll come with the 2002 series on He-man’s YT page. They already have the OG show and the 90s remake.
BTW: if you wanna watch the OG He-man show and the 90s remake, you can watch it free on TH-cam.
(But you didn’t hear it from me🤫)
The attention to detail was amazing on this show. One of my favorite things was that Cringer used cat noises instead of tiger noises.
I bloody loved this show as a kid! Shame it got cancelled, the story just kept improving.
This aged very well
This was the Reboot we had, but Kevin Smith forsaken.
If we only knew how good we had it back then
This was the He-man I watched, cos I'm a 90s baby, and I really liked it.
I loved this show as a kid. Shame it ended.
If the new reboot ends up flopping, I hope that the 2002 version gets some more recognition, which it really does deserve.
It’s possible. Thundercats Roar apparently introduced people to the 2011 reboot because of how lackluster it was and a lot of people loved it. It would be nice if it happened here.
Amen to that
Absolutely. Amazing version with great characters and a strong story. Sad that it was canceled after season 2
It's good I think, better than revelations!
This one video has more He-Man than the entire new show pretending to be Masters of the Universe.
For this to be made 6 months ago. Is amazing for today's He-man's death.
Funny how you said Adam has to protect his identity of He Man so he doesn't get shanked by Skeletor. That's exactly what happened in Netflix Masters of the Universe. Did you time travel?
The revelation will not be televised.
Couldn’t agree more this show was one of the best reboots I’ve seen that honors the originals and improves upon it
I wish Netflix would of finished this series instead of putting money into the Kevin Smith series that's coming out.
The best part of this version is how every episode has a life lesson PSA at the end
I really liked 2002-2004 He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe! The character designs were good, the animation was decent and Adam was designed smaller than He-Man.
Which is a good thing! It should not have obvious that Adam and He-Man were the same man. I really liked how He-Man, Man At Arms, Teela, Orko and the Sorceress were
depicted. The writing was solid. I agree that the music wasn't great. Overall it was a good show. The new Netflix show looks amazing from the trailer, but it has been revealed
it's going to be mostly about Teela and the others as they try to find He-Man after a big battle with Skeletor. I think I'll skip this one.
so soooo much better than this imbeliceflix reboot
10 times better the 2021 Netflix version
He - Man 2000s, TMNT and Jackie Chan Adventures are all criminally underrated.
He Man was a cool show, Skeltor was awesome and the overall show had some cool characters and stories.
TMNT was my favorite and in my opinion the best Ninja Turtles show ever made. The Shredder ( until finding out it was basically Krane) was one of my favorite villains ever... AND THAT VOICE AND THEME IS STILL AMAZING ... In my top 10 cartoons ever.
JCA - Awesome fun show that I loved as a kid. I loved the Chinese mythology, demons, talismans, Shindu especially... Everything. I know it falls off in later seasons which TMNT does also.
