Last night, I watched the first five episodes of season two of the animated series “Masters of the Universe: Revolution” on Netflix.
The first season "Masters of the Universe: Revelation” was utter rubbish and that is the fault of Kevin Smith who was the showrunner and he claimed that he is a "Huge Fan" which he utterly pissed all over the mythos of MotU. He made the first series all preachy and woke and very MeToo inclusive.
However, I was not sure if I should watch this second series or not, but a good friend of mine who's word I trust, loved it and he is a Fan!
This series (of 5 episodes so far) had a decent storyline and character growth which exceeded far beyond the first season.
Hordak was the primary villain with Mark Hamill voicing Skeletor/Skeletek again. (channelling his Joker persona).
Meg Foster (from the live action movie) voices the villain Motherboard.
The character of Gwildor from the live action film also makes an important appearance as well, as he helps He-Man in his quest.
William Shatner voices Adam's uncle "Keldor" who I discovered his backstory in this series. (No Spoliers)
The character of Evil-Lyn redeems herself and like the first series, was one of the most interesting characters in the show.
Man At Arms has renamed himself Man At War and has a shiny new suit, and in the end, He-Man transforms into a Dolph Lundgren style He-Man from the movie, with new armour.
They did steal the look of the Ironman "Hulkbuster" Armour for a couple of characters. and I do believe the merchandise will overflow this year with new action figures which I know my friend will be very happy.
I am looking forward to Part II of this series, which should be out later this year.
I have no complaints about this show and I shall rate it a score of 8/10. Well worth watching and it has redeemed itself since season one.
