@@erikbihari3625 ikr? I thought that interpretation was pretty brilliant! Speaking of which, I like how Hordak was voiced by Kevin Conroy at the end, especially since they emphasized his bat motif. It’s just a shame he passed away recently so he might have to be recasted if they make a new season.
@@redstreak9430Yeah, all true, but maybe they'll pick someone like Bruce Greenwood to be his replacement! He's an accomplished actor and sounds close enought. What do you think?
They freakin' got Alan Oppenhiemer back for this show as King Grayskull and, when he was possessed by Havok, was able to briefly return to being Skeletor again!
I literally jumped out of my seat in joy when I heard Alan's Skeletor voice again. I loved his voice for Grayskull and I'm glad he got more attention and use in this show than in Revelations. The Skeletor voice was honestly way better fan service than Revelations ever had. Well done Alan Oppenheimer.
There one actor i always had in mind for Skeletor in my idea for A he-man reboot is robert foxworth as i feel his voice and tone would fit the role of skeletor well and it would fit close to the original 80's actor
I don't get what the point of King Grayskull being in Revelations was anyways. He add some worldbuilding that doesn't amount to much. In this, King Grayskull was set up as big deal with what are told about how the current conflict with Skeletor is continuing the same war between Grayskull and Havoc that the king fought with the snakes. And in this season we got a good twist about Eldress killing Grayskull, implying he might not have been as heroic as we first thought, then we saw it's because he embraced Havoc himself, he was the hero who proceeded He-Man, and the villain who preceded Skeletor since using what Hiss left behind was just a stepping stone for Skeletor obtaining Grayskull's legacy.
@@dragonstormx The way i would always Do King greyskull in my take for my He-man reboot is to have him as the first owner of the sword when giving to him by Kuduk Ungol who my take would be one of the Annunaki would end up becoming Ra-man as his transformation and would end up battling the cosmic horror Serpos who would be the godness and the thing that birthed the snake men with King Hiss as her second in command
Gonna say this, Alan Oppenheimer voiced king Grayskull in the series as hero and villain was awesome, he really did make a good impression and the way his original Skeletor voice is put in the King's fall in to evil, darkness and havoc is just a master piece
Holy shit they gave Havoc!Grayskull the original Skeletor voice! That is friggin' amazing. Glad to see Alan Oppenheimer is still up and kicking ass at 90!
I replayed this scene over and over again when I watched this episode. Alan Oppenheimer has perfect weary gravitas as King Grayskull, and having him slip into Skeletor after being fully posessed by the Havoc was a masterful touch. And then you hear the regret in his voice at the very end. It was great to hear him exercise his vocal range in this after he was underused in "Revelations".
I see lots of praise for the fan service with Alan Oppenheimer, the original voice of Skeletor, voicing King Grayskull, who turns out to be the original Skeletor in this series. The casting decision was clever, but something else I want to praise about this compared to Revelation is when it had a version of King Grayskull appear, it was just world building for its own sake. In this show, Grayskull also looked like he was just going to be a hero in the background who just acted as He-Man's predecessor. Then we got the twist that Eldress killed him, which rather than revealing a dark side to the series mentor, instead set up a dark side to Grayskull since it turns out he was the predecessor to Skeletor as well. King Grayskull was a pointless addition to Revelation. In this show, even if he's no longer alive he's an essential part of it.
Damn not only did this series have it's own amazing Skeletor, but they even brought back the OG Skeletor for an epic surprise cameo, god I love this show
0:29 Not gonna lie but Alan Oppenhiemer did a awesome job voicing a badass King Grayskull. I think he'd be a great voice for Rhinox in Rise of the Beasts :) 1:04 My favorite part.
@@greenrangeralexFunnily enough he voices tryclops here, who's been degraded into a combination of alien's face huggers and imperial scout droids from Star Wars!
@@pikppagood honestly, it angers and weeds out the chuds, brings a safe reel of money and ensures franchise continuity for the ones that matured beyond being 5 years old.
The amount of Respect and Homage the CGI He-Man has for the original, makes it no mystery why it was SOOO GOOD! I was not the biggest fan of He-man myself, but ti religiously followed He-man and the Masters of the Universe CGI till the end. I really do hope season 4 still happens. I am damn sure they will do a good rendition of Hordak.
This was a phenominal scene for several reasons. 1. it established that in this continuity Greyskull understood the chance of failure going in so went with something other than the sword as focus for havok energy in case it was needed. 2. THEY GOT OPPENHIEMER TO VOICE HAVOK ADDLED GREYSKULL 3. It proved merman both right and wrong in that yes sorceress DID kill greyskull, but at that point he was a rabid dog that needed to be put down.
Interesting fact even though we only see evil Grayskull in green and black the art book reveals that the armor is blue and purple while the skull faceplate is gold
Just want to take the time to express how gorgeous, expressive, and powerful these illustrations are. That coupled with Alan's cameo made this one of the highlights of Season 3 (besides the ending scene with Evil-Lyn and _______). I want to know who the illustrator was for this segment.
that's right King Grayskull was the first known human to wield "the power" and he fought the Snakemen, but ultimately, it was the invader from another dimension, Hordak, who defeated the Snakemen and became the biggest threat Grayskull ever faced Grayskull was able to defeat Hordak and seal him away in a dimensional prison called Despondos, and when Grayskull died, he passed "the power" onto his followers, who became the Council of Elders that governed Eternia before King Randor's royal family came into the picture, Grayskull's wife became the first known Sorceress and kept her husband's power sword as the key to unleashing "the power" after Keldor's rebellion, the Elders decided it was safer if they "disappeared", so they "vanished", leaving the current Sorceress (who was Tela's mother in secret) to guard Castle Grayskull, which became the base of "the power"
and with the rise of Skeletor and the return of the Snakemen and Hordak, Prince Adam was called upon to become He-Man and wield "the power" to defend Eternia chosen along with Adam was his twin sister, Princess Adora, who used a different power sword to call upon "the power" and become She-Ra to defend the dimension that she called home
in the more popular version, King Grayskull was a "true hero through and through" he was the first known human to wield "the power", so those wielders that came after him claim "the power" is of Grayskull King Grayskull and his comrades fought King Hiss and the Snakemen, but it was ultimately a "greater evil", Hordak, who defeated the Snakemen King Grayskull then defeated Hordak and banished him to the Despondos dimension with "the power" when King Grayskull died, he passed "the power" to his comrades, who became the Council of Elders, and his wife, who would become the first Sorceress of Castle Grayskull the Elders created the Hall of Wisdom to act as their base of operations and defended Eternia from many threats, they sealed King Hiss and the Snakemen away after encasing Serpos in stone when Keldor sought to destroy the Elders and take over Eternia, the Elders decided to transform themselves into "the power" and turned the Hall of Wisdom into Castle Grayskull, leaving the current Sorceress (Teela's mom) to guard "the power" and guide the next person chosen to wield it
I know this probably won’t actually happen, but I have a pet theory that He-Man turning Skeletor back into Keldor in the season finale separated him from King Grayskull’s body, returning it to his tomb…and resurrecting him, still imbued with the power of Havoc.
This backstory to D'vann only supports my theory that Netflix's He-Man and She-Ra are set in the same universe. I mean, blowing up Darkmoon? No wonder people tried to rebel against him.

If you wonder why the kids show is better than the gritty adult show, it's because He-Man is and always was a kid's show.
Nah cause the adult is shit made by shit people
The show from 2000 was also less kid friendly but it was good

I like alan Oppenheimer as both Good and Bad Grayskull, but i wish Good Grayskull was played by John Erwin i miss the classic he man voice
King Grayskull fought the Snakemens
that's right
King Grayskull was the first known human to wield "the power" and he fought the Snakemen, but ultimately, it was the invader from another dimension, Hordak, who defeated the Snakemen and became the biggest threat Grayskull ever faced
Grayskull was able to defeat Hordak and seal him away in a dimensional prison called Despondos, and when Grayskull died, he passed "the power" onto his followers, who became the Council of Elders that governed Eternia before King Randor's royal family came into the picture, Grayskull's wife became the first known Sorceress and kept her husband's power sword as the key to unleashing "the power"

chosen along with Adam was his twin sister, Princess Adora, who used a different power sword to call upon "the power" and become She-Ra to defend the dimension that she called home
He was right to take it, and wrong to keep it.
1 00 that face
Hell of a Hulk impression on He-Man there!
For the next season, lets have Dolph Lundgren in a role!
I loved this part!!
Hah I know that laugh! Skeletor!
Making King Greyskull a tragic figure to show how the Havoc magic corrupts. Interesting change in lore.
Og skeletor return for this cool flashback :)
1:04 is what we all are here for! 💀
Once i heard that laugh i was like holy shit.
There's so much going on here, but I'm a little taken back they had Grayskull have an evil backstory in this version 🙃
in the more popular version, King Grayskull was a "true hero through and through"
he was the first known human to wield "the power", so those wielders that came after him claim "the power" is of Grayskull
King Grayskull and his comrades fought King Hiss and the Snakemen, but it was ultimately a "greater evil", Hordak, who defeated the Snakemen
King Grayskull then defeated Hordak and banished him to the Despondos dimension with "the power"
when King Grayskull died, he passed "the power" to his comrades, who became the Council of Elders, and his wife, who would become the first Sorceress of Castle Grayskull
the Elders created the Hall of Wisdom to act as their base of operations and defended Eternia from many threats, they sealed King Hiss and the Snakemen away after encasing Serpos in stone
when Keldor sought to destroy the Elders and take over Eternia, the Elders decided to transform themselves into "the power" and turned the Hall of Wisdom into Castle Grayskull, leaving the current Sorceress (Teela's mom) to guard "the power" and guide the next person chosen to wield it
Merman even appeared in the flashback
And he's voiced by George Takei.
Oh my
1:06 skull looks cool
I know this probably won’t actually happen, but I have a pet theory that He-Man turning Skeletor back into Keldor in the season finale separated him from King Grayskull’s body, returning it to his tomb…and resurrecting him, still imbued with the power of Havoc.
No, he's probably just back being bones. The reason skeletor wanted to posess him is because of havok infusion!
wish they went into more detail about what havoc is
Senior sorceress save his life with the sacrifice of his life from the scepter of havoc with a help of his sword of power.
