Another Kevin Smith sequel series flop. Kevin Smith's first He-Man series was woke just as Clownfish TV had reported but He Man Revolution isn't much of a course correction. Did Kevin Smith make an effort to fix his He-Man mistakes? Yes but the show is still a woke disaster even if the character of Teela has slightly improved.

WHAT!? Who the hell came up with this story? None of this makes sense.
Yeah it's pretty dumb lol
they are called twists
Also, the "down with the system" thing, to replace it with a democracy, that is too much on the nose, coming from activists with a severe case of "to reflect the real world", is a very poor thing considering that all democracies in the real world are far worse now than they were 20 or 30 years ago...
I think they see a king as a part of the patriarchy so they had to get rid of his title.
We watch these kinds of things to escape from the real world, but now they want to keep reminding us that the real world is crap!
Sadly, the audience that these studios want has largely been sensitized to woke elements. Even when they are toned down, the audience will reject such narratives out of hand because even a hint of woke is too much.
I agree. It’s happened to me. If I see even one line of some in a show or movie I get so disgusted I just shut it off. Haven’t tried to finish a single show this has happened on
Woke. Not some
In the distant past I would let more things slide but when it got out of hand I lost my patience.
@@seandoherty6215 right
@@PriceofReason The second part, Revolution, was WAAAAY better than the first. I was impressed with it. That's how the show should have been from the beginning. So the new series Win/loss is tied at 1/1.
Also. The allegory of I couldn’t rule because I had blue skin crap when there are different species all of the show is so dumb
Yep
That's actually how it was originally planned in the mini comics. Keldor was Randors older brother who merged with a demon (whose name is escaping me) from another dimension and they became Skeletor. The merge gave both Keldor and the demon amnesia.
As for why Keldor couldn't rule, the Gar (blue skinned race) is because they were the worst of the worst on Eternia. Randors father Miro only had a Gar son to help with a treaty between the two main races of Eternia. The Gar broke the treaty shortly after Randor was born.
@@michaelbasile1979 yeah because they were horrible. Not because “their skin was blue”
I want to attempt to clarify this. On Revolution, there is a flashback of a young Keldor being spoken of negatively because of his appearance and essentially because he's inter@c1ial. They paint him as a victim. At least that's what it seems like to me. It's heavily suggested that his appearance would be an obstacle for the people of Eternia to accept him as any kind of heir. At least that's the way it seemed to me.
I started to watch it, and then I saw the name Kevin Smith in the credits and I instantly thumbed it down and removed it from my watch list.
You have chosen wisely lol
That makes you a sheep.
@@sguardian870 that makes my time valuable, and not to be wasted on trash.
I've enjoyed precisely zero Smith films. Not even one. Why would I watch him butcher a classic (when I already watched him do it on the previous series.)?
Are you.....okay? Do you not understand that trash is trash and I don't need to follow anyone to recognize rotten garbage?
They did damage control with season 2 in 2024, but the woke bullshit of season 1, killed it
True
Really the only good He-Man stories were from the Alfredo Alcala mini comics that came with the toys in the early 80’s. A post apocalyptic cave man saves a sorcerous and uses found technology to enhance his abilities. Conan in space.
Perhaps
I liked the stories.
The early 2000s reboot version of He-Man was better than the woke crap Kevin Smith gave us.
It would've been better if it had a series about a more mature Prince Adam trying to balance being a hero and his aristocratic duties.
Not to mention Hordak is trying to invade Eternia again, with Adora realizing her destiny to be She-Ra.
The original He-Man & She-Ra movie had more heart than this Kevin Smith drivel. Even with it the movie wasn't flawless.
@@PriceofReason what did you think of the 2000s version?
@@markmunroe-hz8rf I've only watched a little of that. From what I could tell, it seemed fine but I still like the OG 80s one best.
@@PriceofReason why?
@@markmunroe-hz8rf why have I only watched a little or why do I like the 80s version best?
I think the fact you're the first person I've seen even bother reviewing this speaks volumes about how little interest this show had, kinda like when nobody bothered reviewing Strange World.
Yeah I think the interest level here may not be very high
It’s like I keep saying. Even if Revolution were awesome, you’d still need to watch the ten bad episodes for the five good ones to make sense.
True and even then it ends with He-Man acting like a loser
Revolution is epic and makes revelation pretty great in hindsight as well.
How could anyone trust Kevin Smith at this point? Not shocked to hear this is bad.
Yeah he really damaged his credibility
@@PriceofReason All because he refused to own up to his lies.
BTW, I can't believe you make so many videos, has anyone told you what an awesome guy you are ?
Ha! I believe somebody has mentioned it.
Professional crier Kevin Smith- LOL, I love it! 😂
Lol. Hope you're subbed then.
We could also call him "professional liar Kevin Smith.""
I grew up such a fan of He-Man. I refuse to give up on him! I don't care that Kevin Smith ruined his own career. I care that He-Man has been Disgracesed. I love the OG show for what it was and the strength of character each individual character had. The Sci-fi Fantasy fusion world it took place in, the imagination it sparked in me, and the thrillingness of it all. I was 7 when it first hit the airwaves. As a latchkey kid with a neglectful family, and a very abusive upbringing. I credit He-Man, Optimus Prime, Mr.Rodgers, Mr.T, and The Big Blue Boyscout himself, Superman as those most influential in guiding the development of my moral compass. I get my sense of Justice from Batman and John Wayne.
I watched the first season with bated breath. I watched with my heart swelling with hope that my childhood hero was returning to me in yet another form. The music, the floating familiar bits of Eternian rubble. Instantly! I recognized it was parts near Castle Greyskull, this was it! A mature fully realized return and continuation of my most beloved childhood show. My hands were shaking tears welling up with excitement this was it! Kevin Smith Had my back! This was going to be soo fucking EPIC! I thought as the first few moments of the battle played out. I was breathless and thrilled. The battle moves into the castle and it looks bad then it happens. I blinked waiting letting the story play out. My eyes were wide, my mouth grimacing, and my upper lip started twitching as anger poured into me shaking my body with outrage. He was killed, just like that in the first five minutes. It was BUTCHERY! They chopped down the most powerful man in the universe like it was NOTHING! and some FARCE pretending to be Tela and the rest of the cast for that matter, I saw no semblance of any of the actual character archetypes that these classic He-Man characters represented. I watched the whole first season all the way through to give it all of the chance I could. I can not take any more Disrespect, therefore I will not watch this season or anything Kevin Smith or the rest of the heads of the show make.
Starting college this spring at 48 years old I used to do Aerospace and Racecar stuff back in the day. Former Military. A wide variety of life experiences. I'm now going in a different direction, following my original passion of films and cartoons. If so many franchises fail so hard and they keep butchering all the good stuff, well everyone will only have lame weak role models, Do you think they'll stop at chopping down He-Man nope they are coming for all of them. I don't want to see that happen. I hope you fans keep faith I have big plans. Without the fans there is nothing, it's all just insane scribblings of a madman otherwise.
Thank you for giving such an in depth and personal response. A lot of us grew up watching He-Man and other male hero role models and all Hollywood wants to do these days is to tear them all down. Not only that, when we voice our dissatisfaction from their "work" we get labeled as awful people. In any case if you enjoyed my review, I hope that you're already subbed to my channel.
@@PriceofReason You are most welcome. I did indeed like and subscribed.👍
@@Uthorous awesome!
Let me be the one to go against the grain of everyone's opinions. Quite frankly, I like the show. It is an improvement from revelation. Yes there are some flaws, but still an improvement. I intend on binge watching it again.
Even with all the minors improvements, the writing problems still kept this from being a solid show. And with Kevin Smith and the rest of the writers/producers burning any good will they had left, I doubt this show is going to bring back the viewers who left after Revelations.
That's exactly what happened. Nobody watched it except for me. Lol
Just here for the comments, roasting Kevin Smith.
"It's too noticeable if we kill off the main character, so let's bring him back and kill off everything around him!" - 'Man-At-Arms' job taken by a 'we need more women in STEM' black woman, King Randor killed off, their civilization changes government types on a whim, and so on. Teela was basicallya god when they left off last time, and now she's eating banana instead of clam? That's the odd part to me.
They were willing to sacrifice their "modern" version of Teela but that's about it.
So being inclusive to other people of color and women is your issue? Pretty pathetic
The 'black woman' you are referring to was originally white, they just blackfaced her for this production. I guess you support blackface? Pretty pathetic.@@illustraitoranonymous3790
@@illustraitoranonymous3790 you coming here and making up stuff to put in other people's mouthes is actually pathetic.
@kendallrivers1119 making stuff up? The dude literally mentions how women and black women especially is an issue! 🤣 .
Just the story young kids want to hear, how the monarchy changed to a democracy...
The perfect escapism lol
So all they did was cover the shit under the rug.
Yep
It's just not a He-Man story. It may have worked for something else, but this just gays it up. No villains except for the horde, scareglow and Skeletor. There is so much source material to build off of. It's just gay.
It's very sad to see what He-Man has become. By the way, as a kid born in 1983... your picks were my favorite from the Saturday morning cartoons "Shit List". I really like your takes on the state of popculture.
Thank you for the feedback! Greatly appreciated.
After Revelations Heman is dead to me. I watched Revolution and still have no feelings about Heman and my childhood hero is completely ruined. I found a new hero if you have Tubi look up Conan the adventurer cartoon because even coming out so long ago the animation and story is actually really good.
Will check it out
Leave the Anime writing to the Japanese, they produce better quality!!!
Absolutely!
How did Rob David manage to change even more elements of the franchise in his own take, yet succeeded in making it enjoyable (at least more than Kevin's)?
He had better intentions I suppose
I liked it. I liked it more than the original 80’s cartoon, but I like Netflix She-ra miniseries more.
Ratings say otherwise.
It was briefly at 6th place on Netflix top 10 before it quickly dropped off which isn't a good sign. It won't crack Nielsen top 10 streaming either. By all metrics this is considered a flop.
Love the original heman cartoon series from the 80s haven't seen this yet❤
Personally I don't recommend it
@@PriceofReason thanks 😊
Good stuff again PoR! Thank you for the review.
Thanks!
Yeah. I don't care. I enjoyed it
This review is spot on!
Thanks Ryan! Hope you're already subbed.
I have now!
Awesome!
Holy shiz I’m so glad I didn’t watch this version of he man that was just awful thank you for your sacrifice that must of been tough
Ha it was
I still havent even watched the He-Man crap!
You haven't missed much
@@PriceofReason i saw a fan-made he-man cartoon on YT where he fights Anti-Eternia He-Man! That was as Perfect as ever! It really felt like some lost episode from the 80s!
Will have to check that out
I’m not going to bother with it
Fair enough. Hope you enjoyed the review though
100% agreed
Damn, what are you really wanting?! I loved the show! It's about a toy line from the 80's!
A few facts for you that might help with your accuracy when reporting on MOTU:
1- ClownfishTV lied. They said Teela had a girlfriend. Lie. They said Andra would be the next He-Man. Lie. They called it a bait and switch. Lie. They said Geeky Sparkles only eats 1 donut in a sitting. Lie. Clearly it's more like 10.
Ok... so that last one is just a theory (but one based on very compelling visual evidence). But I digress.
2- Netflix put out a plot summary before the first trailer ever aired, CLEARLY stating that Teela would be front and center. If it was a bait and switch, why do that? But I'm assuming the haters can read... and that MIGHT be a bit of a stretch.
3- You said most MOTU fans hated Revelation and it did not do well. There is a good number of fans who loved it, as evidenced by the fact it was Top 10 on Netflix, and in an industry where the dollar signs rule, they would not green light a second season if it didn't make money. And now the second season, Revolution appears to be doing quite well itself. Top 10 once again. It bodes quite well for the future.
Just the facts, my man.
Still most hated it. Have you seen the audience reviews?
First of all, thank you for watching my video and responding. Even if we have different opinions on a show, it's nice that we can still have a conversation about it.
As for your comments, to be fair, from what I can recall, well before Netflix released their summary of Revelation, Clownfish TV reported that the show would focus on Teela and not He-Man. Kevin Smith said this was not true but after Netflix eventually released their summary and then the show itself came out, it became clear that their report was accurate. As for viewership ratings, indeed Revelation part 1 did well but by the time part 2 rolled out, the show has lost most of its viewers. That's because people didn't like what they saw in part 1. Revolution is also not performing well. Finally, critics' scores don't mean much these days. As for the amount of donuts you claim Clowfish eat, I have absolutely no idea as I've never met them. They seem nice enough though. Have a great day!
@PriceofReason I don't recall if the Clownfish tweet came first or the Netflix summary, but I don't think it's particularly relevant. The wording in the summary clearly states a Teela-centric story. So if this bait and switch was intended, they need to fire the guy who wrote the summary, because that ruins "the evil bait and switch plans". (And I use quotes because I think the bait and switchers are a joke.)
I will agree with your recollection of the Top 10 status for parts 1 and 2 for Revelation. But wherever the final numbers ended up, it was good enough to green light the production of Revolution.
I will disagree with your statement about Revolution NOT doing well. My good man... it's been in the Netflix Top 10 for 6 days. As in... Top 10 in the NATION.
As for Clownfish seeming "nice enough"? Have you listened to them? Shrill. Nasty. Full of anger. Rage-fueled rants. Even their most ardent supporters don't call them nice. I would select a different adjective.
For a conversation with the utmost honesty, you can say you dislike the show, and I'll say I loved the show. But you can't claim it did not do well, any more than I could claim it wasn't controversial.
@seandoherty6215 I've seen the keyboard culture warrior "review bomber" comments, and I've seen the praise from the actual fans. Quite a contrast.
Those who are obsessed with politics and seek to find "woke agendas" in places they are not, are predictably full of rage, false accusations, and radical claims.
Those who are actual MOTU fans generally seem to love the show. It's not unanimous, of course, as all fan-bases have a range of opinions. But there is alot more positive out there than you acknowledge.
@@MOTU_CTR Clownfish described the show before the official description was released. Then Kevin Smith flat out denied it. That was the lie and nothing else. Revolution, in its first few days, started in the top 10 and quickly fell off the chart. Now it's not on the charts which is a very bad sign. The only reason Revolution was even allowed to be completed was due to contractual obligations. In case you weren't aware, contracts for animated shows are different than live action. Most of the time they get 2 seasons from day 1 because of the cost of setting up animation planning etc. In this case, from what I could tell, Revolution was actually the second season but Netflix still reduced the episode order from 10 to 5. I know you like the show and you want it to do well but the truth is, it's considered a flop for Netflix. It's not even really a debate tbh. And in regards to Clownfish, like I said, I haven't met them but they seem nice enough to me. Also, I've never heard anybody that I've talked to say anything bad about them.
It was actually good compared to Revelation.
I have to politely disagree.
Now for reference, I HATED the first season.
The overall story had potential, that along with the solid animation & a few neat Easter eggs is about the only good things that can be said about it.
The entire thing was derailed by terrible execution, resulting in the bloated, woke mess that was Revelation.
Revolution however I found was a solid 175 (not a full 180) reversal. It did a great job blending the various mythos of MOTU established throughout the years. The animation was still solid. I found it a fun romp with very little woke. We got Skeletor background, Hordak and the Horde with more of Etheria teased, a sexy Teela back and He-Man even got to 1st base for once, lol. The only thing that rubbed me wrong was no King He-Man and new girl turning politician at the end.
Yes but as I said, Adam getting rid of the throne every second really hurts his character. It may seem like something minor but to me it isn't. He seems weak and dumb.
I can totally see where you are coming from. But the way I look at it is, Adam just lost his father, and just found his long lost uncle. He's in a bad place mentally and not sure he can balance running off on adventures with being the sovereign of a nation. He panicked.
Also one ever said Adam / He-Man was a genius or anything. He's 1/2 spoiled prince and 1/2 magic muscle man who punches his way out of problems, lol. He's allowed to make bad decisions.
But I do agree that the whole ending the monarchy thing was shoehorned in and absolutely the worst thing that happened in the show. A better ending would have been Adam excepting that with great power comes great responsibility and deciding that he is just going to have to try to balance his life as warrior and monarch.
@@JohnnyOmnia79 On the original show, to me, He Man always seemed thoughtful. He wouldn't get outsmarted every second. I'm not saying that the idea of the slippery lost uncle wasn't a good one but I still think in Revolution it was just rather poorly executed. And it's also really hard for me to get over the ending.
The, out of the blue "let's end the monarchy for democracy" ending was kinda dumb, no argument there. And I definitely felt the woke creeping back in when new gurl is now running for office even tho she's a total outsider still.
But let's agree on one thing. He-Man deciding to say eff being king and moving into Castle Greyskull w/ Teela? Kind of a boss move, after 40 years, He-Man's finally getting some, lol.
And screw anyone who tries to make it wierd at this point.
I mean, I never pictured Evil-Lyn and Skeletor doing it but the last season put that $h!t in my head regardless. At least ole boy deserves his girl after all these years. 😅
😎👍
Hey Melvin
I enjoyed it.
Coming soon. X-men 97.
