How Did He-Man and the Masters of the Universe End? | The Big Daddy D Reviews

- As Masters of the Universe Revelation continues to get both defended and bashed by He-Man fans online, one has to ask that if Revelation is meant to be a continuation of the classic He-Man from the 1980s, then how exactly did the series end? And to further extent, where did it actually start?
There is some confusion over which episodes of the classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series from the 80s would be classed as the first and last episodes, with production codes, continuity issues and a lot of the He-Man fan base, along with the people who worked on the show, having their own opinions.
This video will attempt to put together a clearer timeline of how the classic series started and how it ended. There are also attempts to tie in the continuity of the 200X series and Revelation as well!
I'll also briefly have my own opinions on the Revelation show too.

The most honest and accurate read for how original Filmation He-Man ended is either the conclusion of the He-Man & She-ra: Secret of The Sword movie, a 90 minute theatrical movie ( the only animated MOTUPOP movie to date on either side of the franchise ), which clearly and smoothly transitioned from a He-Man to a She-ra focus in the exact shared continuity ( when He-Man tells She-ra if she ever needs him to call and they bid emotional farewells, he might just as well have been talking to all of us fans ), OR, it's The He-Man & She-ra Christmas special. I think, taken logically, the Christmas Special OVERWHELMINGLY wins as most fitting and best candidate, not only because it can be chronologically placed fairly late in the combined 217+ episode + movie original He-Man & She-ra run with blatantly notable sequence markers ( Modulok has already left Skeletor's service for Hordak's, Castaspella [ with She-ra and Bow's help ] has already vanquished her former captor Mortella, Flutterina has been introduced etc. ] ), but ALSO, because it has one of the most significant major character developments and growth transitions ever in either series: Skeletor, the most wicked of the villains, has a transformative Spiritual experience in his encounter with the Christmas Spirit, and actually begins to exhibit compassion and goodness. If placed at the very end of the combined He-Man & She-ra series ( which, since they 100% share continuity is how they should always be regarded ), and there really isn't any glaring event contradiction to stop it from being placed there behind Attack on The Hive, it serves as a strong narrative final ( despite the campy issues ), with the long feud between Skeletor and the power twins, He-Man especially, possibly ending with Skeletor beginning to change for the better ( morals wise, not entertainment wise lol ).
You do make a very good argument that the Christmas Special is indeed the "final chapter" of the classic series. You are certainly not the only person who thinks that, too.

@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 Thanks!! I just checked out the review of the Christmas special, it was quite amusing. I was trying to leave a comment, but my slow desktop was being a jerk, so I'll try again later. An fyi for your co-host, She-ra had two seasons ( technically one and a half ) not 1, though I understand the 2nd season only aired in the US, not the UK. It's worth the watch though, even if only for the Sweet Bee's Home episode where Frosta literally spends much of the episode trying to give da booty to He-Man ( and by "da" booty, I do mean hers lol ). The third to last episode of the 2nd season marked the last original era Filmation appearance of both He-Man and Skeletor. For a full rundown of every episode, I strongly recommend James Eatok's He-Man and She-ra the complete episode guide ( it's available from amaz0n online bookstore ): it sadly shortchanges the He-Man & She-ra Secret of the Sword movie in that it doesn't make clear that it was indeed a nationally circulated theatrical film, but the book is still a great episode reference for all 218 episodes of the combined He-Man/She-ra series run. P.S., your Merlin costume is epic. Loved that Excalibur movie.
So happy to hear someone else give the 2000's He-Man some appreciation!
It was a really good show. One that I enjoyed watching with my own son, as my Dad did with me back in the 80s.
Nothing beats the original soundtrack...that main theme is epic, even today.
It's great, isn't it??
I believe you have Shuki Levy and Haim Saban to thank for that (they were everywhere in the 1980s)
Original sound track is the best I ever heard from a cartoon series hands down.
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1
New he-man on Netflix . Whare he is a child And skeletor still have a face .
Hoop you see that one
I think the She-Ra theme is better.
Would it make sense that Teela would be upset to learn that Adam and He-Man were one in the same? Sure. If she's catching feeling for one half of the dude's identity and he's reciprocating that affection, it would be pretty scummy for him to keep her in the dark about his true identity.
However, that was not the case in Revelations. Teela being mad about being left out of a secret is one thing; renouncing her position in the kingdom over it and berating everyone in the throne room (including grieving parents) over this secret is something else entirely. (the only way that hissy fit would have made any sense would be if she did that because she felt her father being exiled for failing to protect Adam was completely unjustified).
Yeah. Teela's actions are that of a spoiled child, not a "strong female character."
Not to mention the secret comes from her Prince, who she works for, who doesn't owe her his secrets. Duncan and Orko were also ordered BY THEIR PRINCE to keep the secret. Teela is completely unbearable throughout the entirety of the show and not just here, though.
@Grumpy Panda Oh, by all means - point out what factors I missed. Because from what I've seen, it was all because she was left out of a secret very few people knew about and those that had known were sworn to secrecy.
@@joshdillon9637 Oh, for sure. Her arrogance even before she threw her hissy fit about being 'lied to' was just hard to listen to. And the fact that arrogance only grew over the years just made her even more insufferable (her one liners are no better than He-Man's '20 something teenager who doesn't get out much' quips).
Sarah Michelle Gellar's snotty teenage girl voice just made Teela that much more insufferable (but then, if they were aiming to make Teela an arrogant teenager in a grown woman's body who's high on her own farts, then she was a perfect cast for the role).
@Grumpy Panda The problem is that Teela never addressed that - either the moment when it happened or years after the fact. All Teela was focused on was how 'everyone' lied to her because they knew something she didn't. The injustice that her father was facing - being striped of his title, and banished from the kingdom with the threat of death hanging over his head if he ever stepped foot in the kingdom again - never crossed her mind. It was all about how 'she' was betrayed, how everyone lied 'to her' (Adam being the worst of the bunch).
There is nothing remotely grown up/mature about a grown ass woman renouncing her position all because her feelings got hurt. That's not female empowerment, that's misogyny.
I had the privilege and honor to be one of the first and last original Animators to work on He-Man Masters of the Universe for Filmation Studios which hired me from 1983 to 1985 after leaving Hanna -Barbera Productions which is now owned by Warner Bros. Animation. Many of my fellow He-Man animation friends went on to animate for so many different studios including Walt Disney Feature theatricals and for myself, I was hired by the Walt Disney Company TV unit back in 1991 to work for the Mickey Mouse Studio as their overseas animation supervisor to be produced in Soul Korea on the TV show named " Bonkers the Bob Cat, Goof Troop, and Darkwing Duck a job for 2 years. Hired from Hanna-Barbera Feature Unit when I was animating the Feature Film called "Once Upon a Forest " I still freely Draw He-Man and Orko as complimentary free gifts to my friends family and any people meeting me for the first time where I am now retired on the resort island of Phuket Thailand where I now live. You are the POWER friends. Kindest from Animator /NFT Artist Barry Anderson🌍🌎🌏💪

Hello Barry, what a pleasure it was to see your comments! Thank you for taking the time to watch through and comment on your video. And may I say a massive thank you for being such a huge part of mine and many others childhoods! Enjoy your retirement, you've certainly earned it. If you're open to the idea of perhaps having an video interview with me for the channel, please do not hesitate to contact me at thebigdaddyd@hotmail.co.uk and we'll get something set up!
I always remembered Teela as being this animal loving druid like character. I have pretty clear memories of her hanging out in some kind of enchanted garden and having a staff as a weapon. The toy certainly comes with a staff but, I don't know that I can trust my memories anymore. But, that was the big problem I had with the new Masters of the Universe cartoon. They seemed to completely change Teela into this other character.
The 2000s series was the best for sure. You just blew my mind by showing how it could actually be a complete prequel to the original.
Glad to hear it!
It could not be a prequel because certain events happened different in the two versions.
The OG He Man series ended with the Christmas Special with She Ra as well
You're not the first person to say that, funnily enough. What an odd way to end both He-Man and She-Ra that would be! With Skeletor doing something heroic for once, and Adam getting dressed up as Santa! Perhaps I will cover the Christmas Special in a future episode ...
Agreed
@@jessev2000 EXACTLY. The original He-Man & She-Ra cartoons should be taken as one massive entity & franchise> He-Man literally continued forward on the She-Ra show. He featured as a major lead alongside She-ra in nearly 20 of the 93 She-ra episodes ( if you include the 5 that were a retread of the movie... & just the movie itself HAS to count as also part of the original He-Man, especially since it's the only movie the animated series ever had [ not ignoring the Langella/Lundgren He-Man, but that wasn't part of the cartoon series ], and it made over triple the production budget AND made more than the now classic original Transformers movie ), with Skeletor featuring in several others that He-Man isn't in. All told, roughly 25% of all the original She-ra cartoon episodes prominently included either He-Man and/or Skeletor.
My suggestion to EVERYONE: because Dreamworks ( which will own all things He-Man & She-ra in just over a year ) looks at numbers, likes & dislikes... & runs THIS ua-cam.com/channels/WV0Qgo4Yz7E5_oNF4VJ6Rg.html youtube channel full of the He-Man & She-ra content they already own: HURRY over to the above link, & LIKE the ORIGINAL He-Man&She-ra Secret of The Sword Movie: ( linked here: ua-cam.com/video/iuscDdtxIQs/v-deo.html ). Watch it on the Peacock cable streaming channel too ( owned by Dreamworks parent company NBCUniversal & Comcast ) and LIKE it there too!! Tell all your friends to do the same.
Go back to the youtube channel ( ua-cam.com/channels/WV0Qgo4Yz7E5_oNF4VJ6Rg.html ) and LIKE the He-Man& She-ra Christmas episodes, the one in the She-ra playlist ( ua-cam.com/video/n6eURjXDv44/v-deo.html ) AND the one in the He-Man playlist ( ua-cam.com/video/pJgeO2wL8zE/v-deo.html ). Then go through on youtube AND on PEACOCK and like every She-ra episode where He-Man or Skeletor make a major appearance: ( there are about 20, totaling roughly 25% of all the og She-ra cartoon episodes ), and LIKE them too ( I'll edit this later to give a list of some of them, among them are "Sweet Bee's Home" wherein og adult lady Frosta keeps trying to give He-Man da booty, The Eldritch Mist [ wherein Castespella does the same ], King Miro's Journey, where Adam/He-Man & Adora/She-ra get a visit from their grandfather, My Friend, My Enemy, where Catra plots with Skeletor to overthrow Hordak, Of Shadows & Skulls, where Shadow Weaver plots with Skeletor... to overthrow Hordak, Gateway to Trouble [ wherein Modulok defects from Skeletor to Hordak ], LooKee lends a hand, The Price of Freedom, and Assault on The Hive ), & tell your friends to do the same. Share the liked episodes on your facebook & your twitter etc, and TAG @ Netflix, Dreamworks, Mattel AND NBCUniversal while you're at it. THAT is one of the best ways to let the studio heads and suits know, what fans WANT is an epic, updated, art, visual effects & scripting update & expansion of the OG He-Man AND his TWIN sister She-ra TOGETHER, with the WHOLE old school Masters&Princess cast ( Skeletor, Sy-Clone, Beastman, Hordak, Grizzlor, Catra, EVERYBODY ). Just drive the numbers of views & likes on the old school content UP, UP UP, WAY OVER the new sh*t. That will help them get the right message.
No it ended with Revelations.
Oh sorry I thought you meant when it died.
I could live with the show getting it’s final resolution though the magic of Christmas
Nobody wants new adventures to be anywhere near the cannon. They did try to tie it into the 4th season of the 200x story, which I'm glad ended before then. It would still have been cool to see He-Man vs the horde in the third season that never happened.
Yes, it was a shame that we never got that third season of the 200X series. I take it that you're not a fan of the New Adventures of He-Man? It does seem like it is the black sheep of the animated He-Man franchise. Maybe I should do a future video on it.
We saw He-Man versus the Horde. There was a whole movie about it, where he discovered his twin sister She-ra.
Actually, for MYP series there were no plans for 4th season. This was confirmed by comic creators in 2007 who worked closely with cartoon folk.
There are only plans that 200x creators had for season 3.
Nowhere have 200x creators stated they were going into NA territory. There is actually interview online still, where in 2005 they stated they wanted to keep things on Eternia. As fans DID ask why they didn’t venture to space.
You may be referring to Spector. Who made up his own story for classics (2008). In THAT new story. He added the idea of He-Man going to space. The point was to mishmash many conitinuities and canons. And well…. It became the mess of a story it is (Mattel themselves even ignored classics narrative. And made totally different comic stories in 2012-2016.)
You’re not alone in your favorite iteration being the 2000s series. I loved it!
agreed!
Couldnt they just continue that show instead?😭
@@susanahernandez10 agreed!!
I was gutted when the third series never happened!
They should have continued that one instead of making this woke crap
The problem I have with Smith's version is he has He-Man kill in cold blood. That is something He-Man would never do. The animation is great the idea is amazing but when you change the main character into something they would never be you screw it up.
Not only He-Man, but also Moss Man and Orko...WTF, didn't we get enough beloved characters killed off in The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones?
@@JohnnyProctor9 I agree and was furious with smith's take on he-man but I have seen the preview for part 2 and it appears that he might redeem himself by giving us an epic he-man return and epic final showdown for the ages. Guess we will see.
@@bentramell729 - I wasn't exactly The Furious Little Cinnamon Bun, but I've seen better continuations of the series in comic book and film.
He was killed in cold blood and Skeletor was ruthless
The Mike young 200x is my favourite too
I grew up watching the classic He-Man and She-Ra cartoons. I had the toys and still holds a warm spot for this older guy. My children have even enjoyed the cartoons as well. So thank you for doing this video.
Very cool! Glad to hear that you're raising the next generation of He-Man fans!
ua-cam.com/video/PrpiuFfd3JQ/v-deo.html For my latest He-Man video, I've put together an in-depth look and review of the first-ever episode, Diamond Ray of Disappearance. Check it out!
It wasn't until fairly recently I noticed just how much of the average run-time of the original is made up of stock animations. It's rare to find an episode that doesn't have He-Man running down that cavernous corridor or He-Man picking up and throwing a large rock.
…..or that punch!
And seeing animation from previous episodes being reused too! But hey, I suppose that Filmation had a limited budget and had to make the most of it! ua-cam.com/video/PrpiuFfd3JQ/v-deo.html BTW, for my latest He-Man video, I've put together an in-depth look and review of the first-ever episode, Diamond Ray of Disappearance.

Pretty sure Teela in the 1980's didn't look like she was going to golfclub king Randor and didn't act the way she does now, so this Netflix series isn't a continuation.
It’s badly written fanfiction
It's an abomination. No wonder Kathleen Kennedy wants to hire Kevin Smith for upcoming Star Wars projects.....
Yes she did! She always seemed like she had a chip on her shoulder about something!
What does the term golf club mean?!? Not understanding what you’re trying to say there
@@matthoughton4220treat his head like a golf ball
The 2003 version of He-Man was fantastic..
Thank you so much … I was only 6 years old and I usto going crazy for He Man ! I was driving my Dad crazy every time he was going for a job trip !!! I was always waiting with a new He man toy character. In the end my Mum : throw all my toy collection away !!! Because she was thinking that would inspire violence in me 🙃😔🤣😂🤣 I had both castles 🏰 and almost al the toy characters, I have to say many of them had the legs glued back on . Because the legs had a rubber string inside which after many days playing they would brake apart !
I gotta say growing up 80s Teela was a total bad ass. I admired her and thought she was legit gorgeous, super brave, smart and a freaking hero. Hell, Sorceress and Evil Lynn were awesome too.
Exactly! Teela was always one of the main characters - and was featured in most of the episodes. She even had a number of episodes focusing entirely on her.
Very good explanation, and interesting how you tried the 2000 version in to the timeline. There is something that you missed though which may not contradict your research but should be addressed.
He-man was a recurring character in quite a few episodes of She-ra, Starting with the Secret of the Sword (pilot movie) and ending (if I remember correctly) with the Christmas Special. He-man and Skeletor continued there battle, with team ups with She-ra and Hordak and even Horde Prime. While the case can be made for the Problem with Power taking place after She-ra, She-ra did continue following He-man's ending.
Yeah, 200x was a soft reboot. Keeping what you knew and expanding the lore. It's not a continuation of the 80's by any stretch.
@@317Chris - I disagree, it was really more of a prequel...
The Netflix version isn't a continuation at all as advertised. 80'sTeela would never act like like this and much of the characters and interaction act as though they're being introduced instead of being familiar with one another. Mermans the biggest example.
He-man wouldn’t act so stupid, and Teela wasn’t a complete bitch in the OG version
@@sethious1 EXACTLY!!
@@sethious1thats the problem when things Go Woke
@@Bedgie01 exactly they want to spread their crazy agenda everywhere!!!! No matter the consequences
Yes, Teela would never act the way she does in Revalations as she did in the show as she had no character. She was literally the token female. Seriously, that was her sole purpose of being in the show. Go watch Spector Creative's videos. He was on the literal team that created some of the He-man characters for Mattel.
The Teela toy was simply a retooled Evi-lyn model added because the good guys needed a girl character that the potential female buyers could identify with.
This implication of "I'm a big fan of the original," has the exact same energy as the people who bashed She-hulk as a "woke" invention of a gender inverted Hulk meant to speak to women. They were huge fans of the Hulk yet were completely unaware that the character has a 40+ year publication history and was created simply as a way to copyright protect a female Hulk from DC. I'm I only saw a few episodes of the cartoon and mostly read the comic where Teeela had an actual personality aside from "token girl" and what you say is only technically correct as it completely ignores the context of her acting the way she did in the 80s cartoon.
The invention of She-hulk is literally the exact reason that Circuit Breaker, which Marvel invented for the Transformers comic, showed up on a single page between dimensions where she spoke to The Beyonder as means for Marvel to copyright the character in case they lost the license and she would become in the ownership of Hasbro.
not having a proper final episode was the main thing that bugged me about a lot of 80s series,they just kind of...stop:(
Yep, same here!
Y'all understand that majority of the '80s cartoons were commercialized, to sell toys; merchandise.
I always remember the xmas she-ra and he-man special!
It's the special that brought us such well-known lines as "I am not nice!" and "I don't feel to feel good, I like to feel evil!". Maybe I should do a review of the Christmas Special when we get nearer to the festive season??
Me too! Check out our latest vid:
ua-cam.com/video/J72N2cOXHPM/v-deo.html
Thanks, Big Daddy D! I was skeptical the first time KS said "It picks up right where Filmation left off!" for the same reasons you mentioned. (Also, I totally agree, 200x IS the best version of the franchise. ;)
At this point I think the MCU revelation should could be considered its own canon . Since some themes and characters from the new series Revolution are clearly being set as their own real storylines and first time appearances outside the established canon of the 80s
It looks that way ... it's a possible "what if" scenario. Same as New Adventures.
I'd like a look back on the Masters of the universe film
Now there's an idea! Maybe I should make that as the next He-Man themed video for my channel??
I love this show haha. I didn’t grow up with the show (I’m 14 years old), but I was surprised seeing that the Secret of the Sword movie came after. I didn’t realize it was a prequel (as a late introduction of the events before the show). I’d always assumed the movie came first, then was syndicated into its 5 episodes. It’s not as if the plot of the show is hard to follow, but I imagine it was strange for the it to just jump in without context. The same year that movie came out, She-ra got her own show too! Love the video!
ua-cam.com/video/PrpiuFfd3JQ/v-deo.html Glad you enjoyed it. For my latest He-Man video, I've put together an in-depth look and review of the first-ever episode, Diamond Ray of Disappearance. Check it out!
I wonder where all the He-man crossovers with She-Ra fit into this timeliness. "Problem with Power" does feel like a natural end point, but the it continues on with She-Ra and the Christmas Special.
Speaking of the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special, you might want to check out my latest video:
ua-cam.com/video/J72N2cOXHPM/v-deo.html
Back in the 80s I had one episode taped which I watched over and over, where he-man's sword was merged with another sword (which could talk) from some sort of necropolis on the dark side of Eternia. In the new series the sword is split up but the talking sword isn't one of the pieces which seems like a continuity error.
As for New Adventure's I guess it tells us that He-man won't stay dead, he has a son and his parents some how forget Adam is He-man.
That's from "Masks of Power," where He-man and co. Discover the "Sword of the Ancients," under Snake Mountain, after two new characters get possessed by a pair of haunted masks in their quest for power, before learning the error of their ways and choosing the side of good.
@@seandaeley7079 I'll probably get around to reviewing Masks of Power at some point. ua-cam.com/video/PrpiuFfd3JQ/v-deo.html In the meantime, for my latest He-Man video I've put together an in-depth look and review of the first-ever episode, Diamond Ray of Disappearance. Check it out!
Diamond Ray of Disappearance is the actual pilot episode. This episode is the first one in the BCI Collection and the creators of the series confirmed it in the documentary episode in the special features.
Not only that, but if you watch the Diamond Ray of Disappearance, you can see that it's very clear that the show is establishing its characters (especially on Skeletor's end of things, where he literally explains what each of his minions specialize in).

I'd remembered the 200× series. It was actually pretty good. It explored detail beginnings of Skeletor, being related to King Randor; they were brothers, who even knew?! Then the story of Man-at-Arms was the brother of Fisto, man, that blew my mind right there! Also, Evil-Lynn and Skeleton were lovers! So, it makes some sense of it all about family, power, jealousy and down right tyranny. I miss this series, truly. Yeah, Kevin Smith's version was indeed a let down, although he lied to us and end up dong something different, he should've kept it real. Thanks, man for your thoughts on this old school trip down memory lane!
Yeah the 2002 Version was was Really Good👍🏻.
I like Mark Hamill's voice work but they should have gotten the guy that plays the Monarch from Venture Bros to play Skeletor.
part 1 was meh, but part 2 was fantastic. well worth the watch.
that wizard deadass looks like the druid from Asterix but a hippie
Yes, now that you mention it, he does look a bit like Getafix!
WOW. To think 2000X is a prequel. 🤯 I mean, Two-Bad even has an origin story in 2000X, I think Fisto does too, and Buzz Off joins the team later on in the series but not in the beginning.
If you look at the continuity beyond the series, I think the last appearance of He-Man and Skeletor was in the November 1987 episode of She Ra: "Assault on the Hive" which was nearly two years after the Christmas special.
Speaking of the Christmas Special ...

He-man one favorites show as kid more please
Really dig that you showed a way to head cannon a connection from 200X to filmation. This actually really encourages me to pick back up the 200X series since if it connects well enough to filmation it should continue on to revelation letting it all connect. I know there are some continuity breaks, but it seems close enough to me. I guess i also need to look up the new adventures sometime!
Yes, I really do need to do a video on New Adventures. Before Revelation came along, this series was sort of seen as the black sheep of the He-Man cartoon series.
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 New Adventures really shouldn't be considered a black sheep. Filmation did the best they could after that fire which destroyed all their stock footage in their vault. There were no deaths and everyone was away, so there were no headlines.
Finally did a video on the New Adventures of He-Man! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/qiNUPWjyZOQ/v-deo.html
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 awesome!! Thanks for pointing me to it!!
This was awesome and helpful; thank you!
You're very welcome!
Why was Teela mad at the King when it was the queen who did lie as the king kicks the people out who did lie? Why was there no one at Greyskull as they make note it a crime to go there yet not 1 guard they just walk in the front door which is open? Teela was the strongest of all the people in the kingdom way more than adam, I wonder if we will see the cost of her leaving.
He-man carrying Teela off towards the sunset reminded me of the ending of Conan the Barbarian(original film).
He-man: LET THE POWER, RETURN!
(Drops sword of power into a chasm)
Me: Bruh we could have just returned the sword to Greyskull. You're making
damn sure that if you can't wield it no one can, let's go to a pub for a pint. First rounds on me.
He-Man heading down to the Eternian Tavern with Man-At-Arms for a few ales sounds like the sort of episode I want to see!
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 Honestly Netflix has been ruining the MOTU franchise way before Masters of the Universe Revelations.
That Bitch Noelle Stevenson stuffed the recent She-Ra series full of Feminist and LGBTQ propaganda BS and she promoted an abusive relationship in a show allegedly aimed at children.
That was pretty gay....
GrAyskull, a no e.
Why did Kevin lie and miss lead people? People would like it if he had only been open about it. He was still lying about season 2/2nd half however he is not being truthful about it. He also did monk people. Why do you guys think he did it? But it is a good what-if show, The idea of what would happen without he-man. However, they should build up to it build up people/story in p2.
Because he knew if he told the truth, no one would watch it. He didn't have confidence in his own writing.
@@powermasterjazz lack of confidence? I doubt that. Every directors feel what they are making will be a revelation (poor pun intended). That's like saying MGS2, Kojima hid Raiden because he didn't feel confident in the character. He did it as a twist and for the purpose of the story and theme. He didn't know Raiden would be bashed so hard in the US before he managed to somewhat flipped it around with MGS4
Why are kids such snowflakes these days?? Waaaa Kevin lied to me 🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smith didn't lie. You kids want one thing but it's the other. That's all. Chill out boys.
I think it's more than waaaah.
Perhaps us "fan boys" after waiting so long, actually wanted a He-Man based show.
I would have been cool with it all had Smith been honest and said it was a series about Teela.
I'm an 80s kid and Teela was kickass!!
A show based around her was a great idea. And the series was pretty good. But it was a dishonest trick and not what the hard core fans were pied pipered into expecting.
It was the bait and switch, dishonesty and using our love against us that got backs up.
Stop being so simplistic.
I guess if you weren't there, you just don't get it 😮💨
King Hss is revealed to be imprisoned with light in his Cell that prevents him from regrowing his 'main' head back. This is revealed in a script& storyboard extra found in the 2002 Heman DVD set( or part 3 of the set).
Imprisoned with light?
@@Exodianecross1978 king hss thrived on darkness and could regenerate any lost limb. His cell was modified so this wouldn't happen.
@@LowellLucasJr. Well, never heard something about that. In the 200X series it was just said he would regenerate with the help of Serpos, who was turned back into Snake Mountain at the end. I'm still disappointed that this TV show was cancelled, I was looking forward to see Hordak and maybe She-Ra, it was implied that she was with Hordak back then.
@@Exodianecross1978 AGAIN, this was all covered in the extras 2002 Heman series on DVD on the part 3 collection as I mentioned earlier. The script can be read by placing the dvd into a computer or laptop. While held in his cell, I believe Duncan revealed King Hss can regenerate his main head in total Darkness so they modified his Cell. Yes Serpos can restore him but he's miles away now. Also, much of what the 2002 story was covered by DC comics thanks to Spector Creative, who was behind the direction of what would happend after King Hss, Hordak, He-ro and much more. It is all covered on his channel which I'D HIGHLY RECCOMMEND! He was also responsible for Evilynn and Skeletors son, Mattie collector toys and so much MORE!
@@LowellLucasJr. Thank you for your valuable insights, I wasn't aware of that. I don't have access to these informations, therefore I'm grateful for the insights you gave me.
Hey man! What music are you using for your outro sequence?? Banging tune lol
It's from an Amiga game called Puzznic that was released in 1990. The composer was Tim Follin, who was an absolute master at creating these banging tunes for the home computers at the time.
Wow man you just blew my mind! With the 2000x series being the Prequel, this finally creates some kind of a storyline..🤯😍. Thanks man, continue your great work👍
Wow, thanks! Glad you liked it.
why people say 200x, it was made in 2002
I’ll admit, the Netflix. Didn’t care for it too much. But. There is a part or two that got me to shed a tear.
The BEST version of MOTU was the original 4 Alfredo Alcala mini-books that came with the first toys in '81. Had they stayed with that theme, mood, and storyline.. AND without FILMATION making the cartoon, it could've gotten as big as Star Wars.
He man never dies!
Hmmmm ... well that's not quite true. Although he certainly doesn't stay dead for long!
I pretty much agree with everything you said except about the 2002 series being a prequel. Some episodes work but Man E Faces got an origin episode in the eighties but is already a Master in 2002. I do think that the 2002 version has much better characterisation and is more consistent with Revelations though. If you could pick 10 or so key episodes of the eighties show to tack onto the end of the 2002 version, as a lead up to Revelations, I'd certainly consider rewatching them.
The 200X was a soft reboot. It kept the tone and feel of what you knew, but expanded on the lore. Sadly it ended before the invasion of the Horde, and the New Adventures were supposed to be re-done after that. (Thank God we didn't get that far with it) Revelations, IMO has nothing to do with any of it. Teela was on the way to being Sorceress (fun fact Man-at-Arms was supposed to become a Snake Man for good in the 200x series so he could build vehicles for the Snake Men (always thinking of the toys first), and the Sorceress was going to die in the third season bringing Teela to her rightful mantle.) In all honesty, if you want a GREAT continuation to conclusion to the series, MotU comics by DC in the late 2010's picked up the torch and ran with it. Took it to a fantastic conclusion. This is how I'll remember He-Man and the MotU.
@@317Chris the story arc planned in 2002 looked amazing. If they had stuck it out, I think it's popularity would have snowballed over time.
Awesome. I watched this when i was growing up. Never seen the end though. Nice breakdown and share! 👍😄
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hello there! As you've enjoyed my previous He-Man videos (and you also watched the show whilst growing up, like me) then you might be interested in my latest upload - The He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special! ua-cam.com/video/J72N2cOXHPM/v-deo.html
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 On it!! 😄👍
It would have been awesome if they had the Filmation look rights so they could have continued on with it looking similar but with updated animation and effects technology
Great Job! Thank you for this. It makes more sense that the order goes in the way you described. Gotta say though, that original soundtrack theme is epic!
It really is! When it came to finding music for this episode (and all the other He-Man related videos I've made), it simply had to be that amazing original soundtrack!
ua-cam.com/video/PrpiuFfd3JQ/v-deo.html For my latest He-Man video, I've put together an in-depth look and review of the first-ever episode, Diamond Ray of Disappearance. Check it out!
The thumbnail screams ‘quick, while she’s still warm’.
I just cant hear Mark's voice and not start thinking of the Joker. It keeps taking me out the He-man scene and thinking about the 90s Batman.
The last episode, He-Man jumped out into the Ocean, a tentacle grabbed him...
and that was it.
Erm ... Which one was that??
Based on the Wikipedia entry on MOTU: Revelation, The New Adventures of He-Man was ignored.
As well it should have been. The last true episode of original He-Man was the last appearance he made on the literal sister show She-ra. He-Man and/or Skeletor play a major role in roughly 25% of the total episodes of the original She-ra show. My fave is the one where Frosty keeps basically offering ass to He-Man lol.
The graphics were nice but you don't kill the hero I wanted to see the attraction between he-man and teela and lots of action and the ending where skeletor get caught I still watch the old he-man .👍👍👍👍👍👍😘💖🌈💯👏🌈
When will they do a movie I remember He-Man in the 1980s I was 11 years old then
I really like this video and love how everything tied in with each other
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
Is there a chance you would consider making a video exploring the continuity in the 80's series?
There certainly seems to be a lot of requests that I continue to look into the 80s series. I feel that is something that I should do ... starting with Diamond Ray of Disappearance!

Good video---oddly enough I was an avid fan of the original series as a kid and I never knew which episode was the last---makes sense since the series did not have a definitive or memorable send off, its end being as convoluted as its beginning
The reason the series never had a proper ending is because Filmation (the company that produced the cartoon) was bought out by L'Oreal, and they literally fired the entire staff in one day. Members of the production team would later say in interviews that they 'just walked in one day and told us to put down our pencils and get out'. Apparently this was one day before a law would be passed requiring sixty days' notice before a mass termination.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do be sure to check out some of my other He-Man related videos, I have an entire playlist of them on my channel.
Never knew about the theory of the 2000 MOTU series as a prequel to the 1980s series. Gives one much thought. And Orko was definitely inspired by Bat-Mite from the 1970s Batman cartoon.
love the way you tied it all up
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Kevin Smith graced it with his idiocracy and wokeisim and that's all folks 💕
He-Man was always an SJW show.
@@michelletackett9489 It was a fun show for kids with morals, that was well written but didn't take itself too seriously. Now it's another one-sided(inclusive!) part of the emasculated 'ban male heroes + feminine women' po-faced, gender, political campaign! They take the joie de vivre out of those old shows so it can match up with the current Hollywood climate! It's funny because they think they're being progressive + see shows like this as a breakthrough, when they're no different to the old male-dominated shows. But why pick on MOTU? Before there was He-Man + She-Ra. Now there's only 'butch' Teela!
@@gregthackray no one emasculated anyone. Lol Anyone who has watched the show knows this.
@@michelletackett9489 Then why are there so many complaints saying just that? And who are you to say that anyone who watched the show knows this? Do you have God-like, telepathic powers to know what others are thinking + then speak for everyone else. The level of smug narcissism is astounding LOL! Even some modern, female fans, too young to remember the original show, have said that the female empowerment politics are forced! And with all due respect, do you even know what masculinity is? Just the fact that they used He-Man's name to bait the fans + then sideline him to push yet another example of an omnipotent 'independent' female speaks volumes. I agree with the fans, there's no balance anymore! Teela is more masculine than the males? OK then. Good luck with that.
@@gregthackray Because the triggered snowflakes who follow Clownfish, Yellow Jacket, Geeks and Gamers, and the Quartering are told like seals to be upset on demand.
I too liked the 2000X's Remake. Also liked Netflix's series. Its dealing with how to move on. Because all things fade. Nothing is forever.
One of the Writer of Master of the universe clasics is in you tube and he liked revelations, he has no problems answering questions
... now that you explain it like that... I hate revelations even more
The new show has definitely divided the MOTU fan base. I really don't think that it is as bad as what a lot of people are making it out to be, but there are a few points where it could have been a lot better. I feel that Teela's motivations could have been written to be more clearer, she does come across as whiny and cold hearted and it took a couple of episodes for me to warm to her. I also feel that this could have been marketed better to make it clearer that this is Teela's adventure, not He-Man's!
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 MotU was branded as a He-Man line since the 80's. If you took Barbie, killed her off and made Ken the show runner, you better expect the backlash. MotU is an ensemble cast, yes, but the power sword belongs to one person, that's why people don't want anything to do with it. Teela's arc would have made a great story, if she were likeable, but she's not. She loves Adam, and wants to know why he didn't tell her. She's just proving that she was never worthy of the truth to begin with. (again, which could be a great story arc) The story just isn't being told well. The Randor / Duncan thing is so unbelievable it hurts my brain to think about.
I thought New Adventures is not considered canon? (And thanks for the great explanation, when K. Smith said it was a direct sequel, I was like, sequel to what story exactly lol).
Indeed, this is what led to this video being made. What was the end point of the original MOTU series that Revelation is apparently following on from? I'll have a follow-on video ready for this weekend where I'll talk about in more detail what I liked and didn't like about Revelation, so make sure you're subscribed in order to be notified when it goes live!
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 I was one of the vocal fews who had faith in the project before it was released, even with the supposed "bait and switch"... I am all on board with the Teela's journey thing but I really didn't like the writing very much, and Teela's journey really didn't have to come at the cost of He-Man. It is not a dichotomy! I suspect Part 2 will have more He-Man in it but we will see how that goes.
@@zenithquasar9623 I too had high hopes for the series. Seen all 5 eps. and was not impressed; especially the voice talent. Animation, great but still, the characterization was off for all characters except Skeletor.
@@wiglafsfilms8418 Evil Lyn wasn't terrible which I care a lot about but I agree.
Finally did a video on the New Adventures of He-Man! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/qiNUPWjyZOQ/v-deo.html
Great review
I wouldn't eat my tea if He-Man was on. Now Kevin has decided to kill him twice.
What do you think of Part 2 of Revelation?
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 Found out He-Man was killed twice and didn't watch either of them of course. I prefer my childhood to not be molested by Hollywood.
Hello. Isn't the first episode of the series an episode which Adam becomes he man from the bird lady named the legend of gray skull?
Well, since we now have your opinion on _Revelations,_ how did you found the CGI version? Just curious. :)
Funnily enough, I have a number of videos on the new CGI He-Man cartoon. Have a look at the other videos on my channel.
Thank you for your narration of the he man time-line. I too liked masters of the universe revelations and I look forward to watching part 2
So you enjoyed a He-Man cartoon...... With no He-Man in it, I heard they are releasing a teenage mutant ninja turtle cartoon with no turtles in it so that's something for you to look forward to pffff. Also Kevin Smith out and out lied, a whistle blower said they kill He-Man off and Smith said "He-Man is still the main character of the cartoon" I hate liars. I'm glad it bombed, Netflix have said the response and viewership has been "disappointing". funny how the show deals a lot with Teela feeling angry because she was lied to then Smith says he "doesn't get the backlash".
@@thatsjustlikeyouropinionma3025 That turtles thing is new to me. I would have to see the reboot/update version to formulate and opinion. As for he man, I love the animation. I am curious to see what direction the story goes...
@@davidclement623 I was joking about the TMNT just to show how ridiculous it is to have a he man cartoon without He-Man, I could have just as easily said they are doing a Superman cartoon without Superman, my point being how ridiculous it is to have a He-Man cartoon with He-Man heavily advertised WITH NO HE-MAN. I don't care about the whole SJW thing they could have had man at arms or Ram man as the lead character it's still ridiculous to have a He-Man cartoon without He-Man in the vast majority of them. I doubt Netflix will renew the contract and hope they don't, Mattel are already skiddish that it's affecting the collectors market.
@@thatsjustlikeyouropinionma3025 the promotion was misleading. Hopefully, they can redeem themselves in part 2. I knew the show runner was lying when he couldn't say the year he man debuted correctly
Thanks for listening
Wow. Eternias map looks kind of similar to GOT westerns and Easeros except there is a land bridge. Does anyone else see that?
Even though I believe it was released about mid way thru the run, my head canon had the final episode of the original series as "Evilseed", where He-Man and Skeletor are both faced with an enemy that neither can challenge on their own. After agreeing to work together, Skeletor's attitude remains hostile, but the dynamic of their relationship had changed from purely antagonistic to mutually respectful. Would have been a nice capper to leave the show with the possibility that its greatest villain could be redeemed and was worthy of said redemption.

Wow. The 2000X series as a prequel?! That is a brilliant approach.
I like to think that it's a prequel anyway. Some people might believe that it is its own separate continuity. Same with the New Adventures of He-Man, which took the series down more of a science fiction route.
@@TheBigDaddyDReviews1 My colleagues and I refuse to acknowledge the “New Adventures.” We don’t even say it aloud. 🤣

I don't remember a particular episode that I liked very much. Hints? Only that it was in two parts, and He Man and Skeletor were allies for a short time, or even that He Man actually saves Skeletor. Damn, it was so many years ago, can't remember! cheers, M
He-Man saved Skeletor when he fell over a ledge when he wielded the Dragon Pearl too.
@@Holy_Wraith Right you are, something is more clear now, but just I have to find the episode.
The Dragon Invasion is the episode you're looking for!
Supposedly He-Man ended with the new adventure series however the ending was kind of nonchalant
Very interesting video
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
Very interesting!
Glad you think so! Thanks for being a subscriber to the channel.
Thanks for fixing the He-Man storyline of the MOTU! SO the 200X is first then the 1983 then 2021 Revelation. New adventures would take place after those timelines.
Love your theory of the 200x being a prequel leading into the classic
I don’t except Kevin smiths show
nobody noticed that J.Michael Strasinski is one of the writers of that last broadcasted episode?
Yup. Shows that even acclaimed writers occasionally turn in a turkey or two.
So what is the correct list of the episodes then?

This strotline inspired Tesla is sorceress daughter
2002 series does establish that the elder gods separated the planet into light and dark dimensions, separated by a wall.
Skeletor breached the barrier along with his minions and quickly seals it.
This is because skeletor is selfish.
This is the reason why the masters don't eliminate skeletor because they are able to deal with him.
King hiss was very easily able to get rid of skeletor and nearly took over eternia.
Hordak was trapped in dark dimension and when skeletor was dying he wished for a price, which the dying keldor agreed. However skeletor had no intention to keep his word and he actively prevented hordaks return.
Skeletor loosing and king hiss defeated, hordak finally could have been able to beach the barrier along with his minions.
Personally, I feel that anything He Man animation related looks odd without the stiff animation.
Oh yes, the animation style is quite different in the 200X Series. Back in the 80s they never jumped 70 feet up in the air whilst twirling their weapons around! (Oo-er missus!)
Appreciate this. Grew up with classic series waking up early Saturday mornings just to watch it lol. Haven't watched any other HeMan and don't plan to as I figured they'd fuckit up🙄
I really enjoyed the 200X series ... as I keep mentioning in this video! 😆.
If I was to recommend any He-Man Cartoon other than the 80s original then it would be that one!

It would look pretty good in Blu-Ray, I reckon!
revelations is not canon
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Could you explain a little further why exactly it isn't canon, please?
@Francisco Araneta Race swapping, for that matter.
I don't consider the Netflix series to be canon for a few reasons. First of all, many of the characters act completely out of character to how they were in the original. Second, the need to focus the show on Teela shouldn't exist if the creator knew anything about the source material (Kevin Smith has gone on record to say that he didn't know anything about He-Man going into this, and just claimed he did in order to get the job; future production companies, beware of this person).
And finally (though this isn't necessarily their fault, but it is the most important reason), She-Ra isn't mentioned at all, even though she's He-Man's sister, and Hordak and Horde Prime are known threats to the universe and have directly attacked Eternia. For a new series to be canon, ALL of this would have to be acknowledged and be actively involved in any kind of continuation. If it isn't, then this can't possibly be canon, regardless of what Kevin Smith or Mattel claim. If they claim this is canon, then they don't know He-Man.
They stated further down development that Revelations is not longer a direct continuation - one reason is that the right to the cartoon series in not in Matels possession and they are not allowed to do what they planned at first.
Frankly, no new He-Man show that ignores She-ra's existence is canon to me, and no She-ra show that, like Hordak, tries to make everyone forget that she has an epic TWIN brother, can be cannon either. Hopefully, once NBCUniversal/Dreamworks have ALL the rights in 2023 ( currently they only have rights to the Filmation content, while Mattel only has rights to content based on the toys ) we will finally get PROPER continuation of the greater, unified He-Man & She-ra mythology.
@@peterullinger2814 for reasons no one really explains, Mattel has done a pisspoor job of exercising their rights to She-ra... they don't have to use Filmation content for her, their own 1984 minicomic, The Story of She-ra ( He-Man.org has images of the whole book ), which they packaged with the original She-ra toy, predates the release of the Filmation He-Man & She-ra movie & of the subsequent She-ra cartoon, and it already establishes her as He-Man's sister ( which she was pretty much from the start of her character conception ) and the Hordak abduction.
