Congrats to Ted on voicing Gwildor!
Ted's Gwildor was awesome! I loved the nods in the dialogue to the 1987 film.
I love how they made the move basically canon, or at least canonized similar events. Plus I loved how the guys inside the ships looked like Skeletors tech guys in the live action movie.
I woke my son up and let him watch the show as soon as it dropped. It was great we had a blast
What an amazing birthday present this was for me. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making this show happen, for breathing new life into MOTU and for this amazing experience. Thank you Colt for all of your hard work on the channel and for having these in depth conversations with the folks behind the magic. Thank you Ted for being so accommodating to the fanbase by sitting down for these conversations, your passion and care shows and you were a great Gwildor! I'll be doing my part to ensure we get a 3rd season and if I could make a tiny, tiny request: Saurod. Even if he's just in the background of one scene for a blink of an eye...A man can dream =)
I love Ted's share on how taking open hands sometimes leads to yucky outcomes, but I'm also glad this channel exists to show that sometimes trusting and letting people into your life can be a beautiful thing too. Good show, and yeah that Revolution show too.
Thank you for that! Ted is such a kind person and his fandom and love for MOTU is immediately evident to anyone who knows him. We are so lucky to have him steering the MOTU ship at Netflix.
I had a lot of issues with 'Revelation' but adored 'Revolution'. I loved how He-man's voice went deeper, love that he chose being He-man over being the king (something that had real problems with after Rob Davids 'Eternity War'), Teela felt more like Teela and they brought the sexiness back to the franchise (nice to see some curves and hips again), It felt more classical in it's story beats and character motivations. I absolutely loved it! Could not have asked for more. I just watched this with my kids and literally clapped when the end titles came up. Teddy is a legend!
Love Ted’s passion! Fantastic Stuff man.
Legendary Show!
I absolutely LOVED this! I've watched it 3 times already and renewed my Netflix subscription today just to watch this. I really hope we get a third season with 10 episodes.
I watched all 5 episodes and I was blown away it was amazing and im so glad that we finally got to see He-man and Teela finally get together
This was a fantastic addition to the MOTU mythos. I felt like a kid again. Had a huge smile on my face when He-man and Teela shared their first on screen kiss. The power/glow ups for Teela were amazing. Goosebumps when she resurrected Preternia. I need that final version of her in toy form. Thank you Colt for all of your hard work on your channel. I really enjoy listening to you and your guests.
Thank you! I appreciate the support 😊
For me personally as I head into my fifties, is part of closing a cycle, it was just awesome, I have being a physician for decades now and Revolutions was just incredible, really praying not only for 3rd season but for a 4th season with everyone teaming up against King Hiss and closing an eternian history cycle which is also part of one of my life cycles, just amazing, in a scale of 1 to 10 I guess eternal, thank U so much
I love that you have matching T-shirts!!! Well, I love many things from this interview. Revolution blew my mind and was even better than I had expected
Amazing interview. I am happy to know that Ted is a fan like us and shares the same passion for MOTU. Keep up the good work man 🙂
Yes! Third season! And 4th season!
Super interview. Rob David, Ted Biaselli & Kevin Smith did SUPER work. I LOVED that MOTU: Revolution is acknowledging He-Man & She-ra are TWINS ( no matter what name they have to use or not use for legal reasons ). Of all the MOTUPOP related Netflix reboots, this is the first one I've clicked the like option on, and THAT is the MAIN reason why. The S/Keldor flashback of Hordak ( a flawless dark fairytale scene, with Hordak looking every bit the part of some ancient, demonic warlock, abducting a baby sister princess as in some ancient, dark fable ) abducting Adora from her & Adam's nursery gave me chills!! It was a STUNNINGLY updated version of the same scene from the original 1985 He-Man & She-ra: The Secret of The Sword movie ( a movie which still doesn't get the credit it deserves as the actual FIRST MOTU movie: [ Inhumanoids, G.I. Joe & Thundercats never had a theatrical movie, due to the Transformers & Rainbow Brite movies both underperforming, which is why those shows got 5 part miniseries, to make up for no theater movie]) Most thrilling moment of the show ( though I also sure enjoyed Teela's bootyful, sexy, dazzling joint transformation with Adam, and her epic new central tower lion outfit! )!!
Didn't like the pagany angle and the destructibility of Preternia. Loved Granamyr, Shatner & John de Lancie's voice work, hated losing Granamyr etc.
Regarding the rights and She-ra, it's REALLY complicated. Mattel owns the copyright & trademark for the She-ra character and for most of the POP characters who had toys in the original 1980s MOTUPOP era, but NBCU/Dreamworks owns Filmation He-man &, seemingly, all movie/tv rights to She-ra.
THAT SAID, A, obviously Mattel & Dreamworks should work out a deal to allow both twins and their main castmates to each appear in the other's media.
HOWEVER, even if that doesn't or hasn't happened, I think Mattel has done the right thing and is in the clear to forge ahead with the twins tale under the Despara etc. I suspect that was part of Rob David & company's plan when they first started introducing Despara in the 2010s. Dreamworks may have tv/film rights to the specific look and name of She-Ra, but NOBODY has exclusive rights to stories with superhero twin sisters. There is no legal statute to stop The Witcher, Superman, the Harry Potter series, or any other major genre franchise, from giving their main character a twin sibling with super powers. Neither Dreamworks nor Mattel can legally tell the other "you can't give He-Man/She-ra an unnamed, blonde haired, opposite gender twin in your movies/shows, because everyone is going to automatically know who they really are..." It doesn't work that way. Mattel can give He-Man a blonde, twin sister, even without any agreement from NBCU/Dreamworks, as long as they call her She-ra and put her in the trademarked She-ra costume.
I frankly think that both NBCU/Dreamworks and Mattel should give one another a fair amount of lenience to both use He-Man and She-ra, along with whatever MOTU/POP toys appeared in BOTH the original Mattel 1980s toylines/minicomics AND the original Filmation era MOTUPOP cartoons, as long as both companies do so reasonably and respectfully ( i.e. Mattel only uses She-ra as a supporting character, and doesn't try to make a show with her as the titular lead, and Dreamworks respects the same parameters regarding He-Man ). I'm pretty sure NEITHER side wants to start being a stick in the mud or a tyrant about "their" legal rights, because the legal rights are SO tricky and complex, they could easily wind up locked in legal contention for years, and might wind up unable to freely use characters they THOUGHT they owned. The rights regarding not only She-ra, but also the whole Evil Horde ( & both Mattel & Filmation worked on designs for both the POP girls AND the Horde boys, as seen in Hordak's early designs ), are a lot more complex and ambiguous than either company likes to let on. Better for both companies to just take a relaxed approach, and give leeway on both sides.
That said, I DO think Mattel has worked out a deal, or is at least confident that they are in good legal standing, BECAUSE, Despara refers to Horde Prime by name. Horde Prime is ENTIRELY a Filmation creation, PRECISELY like Shadow Weaver, and MUCH MORE so than She-ra. She-ra, Catra, Frosta etc ALL had Mattel designed toys in the original 1980s era, and all appeared in minicomics, with She-ra's origin minicomic featuring He-Man, the Sorceress, Hordak and Man-at-arms. Horde Prime NEVER appeared in toy form ( not until the 2010s MOTUClassics era ), nor in the original minicomics. Horde Prime was 100% Filmation, so if they are using him, they can use She-ra.
This was so damn good!!! Im completely mind blown with Motu Revolution!!
Great interview. God I love Revelation and Revolution - genuinely feel it is the best MOTU we've ever had.
Great show! I loved this season and desperately want another one. I had so much fun with this one. Congratulations to everyone that worked on this season - job incredibly well done!!!
I love Ted! His Gwildor was fantastic fun! Really hoping to see Revolution continue - those teases at the end have to pan out!!
Great conversation. I learned a lot about what went into Revolution's storytelling. Looking forward to more from Teddy and team.
Thank you for all you do. Ted was awesome as Gwildor. I pray we get a 3rd season. These 2 seasons were by far the best versions of MOTU for me. As a kid, filmation was it and then 200X helped explain some of the back stories BUT this was superb! So well done.
I’m glad Ted mentioned parliaments, it leaves the possibility for Queen Marlena to retain her title as well as Prince Adam as figurehead or ceremonial monarchs like we have in Spain, Japan, Sweden etc. I do still like the idea of having a King He-Man out there
I love how He-Man going to live at Castle Grayskull with Teela brings things full circle from the minicomic King of Castle Grayskull.
Also, if Mosquitor appears in a season 3, I think his opening line of dialogue should be "Hey guys!" as a nod to Pixel Dan's opening on each of his videos.
Or just get Pixel Dan to voice him!
@@dadatarms That would be awesome! He has the enthusiasm for the role!
Regarding Teddy's reference to the 200x Skeletor transformation: He felt that the acid burning wasn't believable because it would leave a person deformed, rather than turn a head into a floating skull. The deformation is exactly what happened until Evil-Lyn took Keldor to Hordak who finished the job by turning him into a skull head. This all happened in the 200x show. So, the acid was the catalyst, but it was Hordak that did the transformation. I hope that clears things up!
Just finished revolution a few hours ago and I loved it, bring on the next part
i've really enjoyed this season. the storyline and the voice casting was awesome. the villain actors especially made sure to bring their A+ game. Chris and his wife Melissa were paired perfectly. I'm so glad to hear y'all writers are romantics and wanted teela and adam to level up together in a very romantic (to me) way. in a way I'm glad it was only 5 episodes cuz it made the story concise and to the point with no time wasted with slowing down filler. One question though where is Adam's mom gonna live now? lol
Loved Revolution, super loved Revelation. Now we need Resolution!!!
Make sure to rewatch Revolution and Revelation (even playing it in the background) so we can hopefully 🙏get more episodes 🙏 *High Five*
This was a great and insightful interview - thanks to you both for doing it! I adored Revelation. I adored Revolution. Bring on Season 3! (Maybe don’t make Mekaneck a traitor though, as a big fan of that character - LOL!) 😉
I absolutely loved it, and that cliffhanger, Holly shit!
28:52, My gut tells me that in the 3rd act, Keldor/ Skeletor's final form is where he'll look like Skeletor from the 1987 movie (his face is both humanoid and skull-like in that film) and he'll be voiced by Frank Langella.
Frank Langella is dead.
@@A_UA-cam_Commenter bummer
Dude, great interview!! I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm subbed and notifications are ON. Keep up the awesomeness Bro!
Awesome thank you!
Ted is so thoughtful and so steeped in the lord. What a great interview
He really is. And he is kind beyond measure. I'm so happy to have made friends with him.
So what is the “fourth tower”? Is it “Havoc” or something else we haven’t learned about yet, I’m confused?
What a fantastic deep interview! I love stuff like this. Although I didn’t like some decisions in Revolution it had a lot more positives than negatives for me which has me hyped for Series 3 🙏
I am watching it for the 3rd time tonight 😀
Btw Ted was brilliant as Gwildor it was just like revisiting an old friend! Loved all his scenes with Orko❤
Just finished revolution. It was incredible
Ted you are so awesome thank you for sharing with us. I would put my fan knowledge against any fan anytime. I can tell you care and you know your shit
We all adore Teddy! He's the GOAT
Very cool vid and had totally forgot this was coming out until I saw your previous vid on Revolution, DOH! Great info and deep dives. Would have loved to seen a glimpse of King He-Man though. So does anyone know what the symbols on He-Mans chest mean after each transformation? Loved the battle damaged armor toy knod as well.
Wow! What a ride, what a show!
Masters Of The Universe Revolution was just outstanding!
Just like in Revelation, I was a 8 year old again with tears of joy! It was worth the wait, and I already can't wait for a third season!
Glad u wasn’t the only one who felt like a kid again
Only 1 issue. He-Man never broke the sword of power in any cartoon. But lion-o did break the sword of omens like 2 or 3 times
He-Man broke the sword into its original 2 halves in Episode 1 of Revelation. He also broke the sword in the Eternity War comics (purposely, to avoid becoming a despotic tyrant obsessed with Power).
I WANT A SEASON 3!!!!
Great insight into Shatner 😂
This show was a masterpiece. I couldn’t even pick it apart. It was so well done. What a love letter you guys will given your fan what a gift thank you so much.
Epic!
This was such a great video
Thank you!
Loved it!
Hell yeah. Ted, Rob, Tim, Kevin & Co.’s thoughts on the true power of Adam as expressed by Ted here are so…damn…refreshing. Fully agree with rethinking this story from “a 21st century lens”, and I really think that this p.o.v. is exactly why Revelation and Revolution are so damn great. (Not to mention why I think it can really resonate with today’s young folx. Their thinking takes the somewhat anachronistic He-Man and makes him a profoundly relevant hero in 2024, and the rest of the Masters cast-Lyn, Teela, Orko, Skeletor, Hordak-all very understandable and valuable archetypes to have audiences engage with. That’s all fancy talk for, “I appreciate these creators and dig their work.” Great job on the interview Cole. ✌🏾➕✊🏾
💡“…we still try to put it through the lens of contemplating real issues maturely.” (In the grand tradition of Tolkien, Herbert, Lucas, and Lee-Kirby.)
Thank you! This whole team is fantastic for MOTU.
I agree dad at arms i can die happy
Actually, I've changed my mind. We won with Revolution after defending Revelation for years... now the haters are reeling from it and seething that Revolution proved them wrong. It's time to celebrate and we need to stick around for Season 3!
Then we can die happy, lol
Loved this interview keep up the great videos
Thank you!
I thought it was obvious Teela loved Adam by how she flipped out in Revelation.
Only the trolls failed to see that because they were too focused on her haircut and the scary "agenda" 😂
The reason why this season only got 5 episodes is because a lot of people eho watch season 1 part 1 didn't watch season 1 part 2. That is straight from the mouth of kevin smith
Can't watch this....I haven't seen the show yet... Ted Biaselli, if your reading this, please find a place for the snake men 😊 the so cool.... ✌️
Some of what he is saying isn't true.
He is trying to rewrite what Revelations was about, claiming it was about learning about Adam...He-Man literally said at the end of the final battle that it wasn't about him and Skeletor.
And saying he wants to add 21st century values is a lot of what is wrong with modern entertainment.
Every fantasy world has to be turned into costal United states culture.
23:10 Wrong! The best way to live your life is with a healthy dose of pessimism and pragmatism. You are in a position where you have to take everything with a grain of salt. You always have to be prepared for the possibility and eventuality that you will be double-crossed! That is the one thing King Randor did not teach Adam. The first thing you teach your children in life that you will have people who will double cross you and you have to prepare them for the day that you die. Any man who does not do any of that has failed as a father.
That show was mediocre at best.
Even if Revolutions is good I don't think I'll watch it. I'm just sick and tired of all the woke washing, all the lying, the moral ambiguity, and the breaking down of traditional heroes to the point I can point to the bodega store clerk and note how much more heroic he is than anyone portrayed by any of these insane writers.
😭😭
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think it's important to actually watch the things we complain about to be fair and honest in our criticism.
That said, I'm not sure how this show is guilty of "woke-washing" and I think people who have these kind of complaints, especially when they have admitted to not even watching the show, are trying way too hard to be offended. That just seems sad and pathetic to me.
@@dadatarms I saw the first one, and I've read spoilers for the second one. They woke washed your namesake, man at arms. I have no clue how you can't see that. She apparently calls herself MAN at arms over and over again like some irate feminist stereotype with a chip on her shoulder.
They nixed shadoweaver for some bizarre tech sorceress. Any loving nurturing woman is gone. Hell Marlena can't even step up as queen because contrived reasons to force an idiotic decision on Adam, because of plot convivence death of Randor. Remember Randor's father? Well neither did Kevin Smith, because he was still out there too.
All the easter eggs, even Gwildor would have counted for 1000x more if it didn't get the "modern audience" coat of woke paint. People are sick to death of this crap, and the viewing numbers show it.
The animators deserve praise to be sure. But I feel horrible their work has to be tied to this garbage writing.
@@sirellyn The viewing numbers show the opposite of what you claim, actually. Revelation had high enough views to justify another season... that's how we got Revolution. Speaking of Revolution, it's sitting at an 80% Audience Rating as well as trending at #6 in Netflix's Top 10... It's doing just fine.
Man at Arms is now Man of War, and he is a walking arsenal in this show... not sure how he's getting sidelined for the feminist propaganda when Andra is shown getting tricked by Keldor and accidentally helping him enslave the entire Eternos citizenry.
It really does help to actually watch the things you complain about when you get the details so wrong. Regardless, if you don't like it then don't watch it.
Not woke at all
I enjoyed it so FREAKING MUCH Teddy's voice as wildor was amazing the only hing I didint like was the democracy at the end .... It is a kingdom we want a king. And also that the lame ass Andra will be the ,mayor or president or whatever. Other than that it was perfect
