Masters Of The Universe: Revelation - Netflix

Agent Coulson · 13-05-2021 4:49pm #1

First look at Kevin Smiths He-Man which drops July 23th.

In the new series, following a cataclysmic battle between He-Man and Skeletor, Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. And after decades of secrets tore them apart, it’s up to Teela to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.

The voice cast includes Mark Hamill as the evil Skeletor, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela, Chris Wood as Prince Adam / He-Man, and Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn. Liam Cunningham, Stephen Root, Diedrich Bader, Henry Rollins, Alicia Silverstone, Justin Long, longtime Smith collaborator Jason Mewes, Phil LaMarr, Tony Todd, Cree Summer, Kevin Michael Richardson and Kevin Conroy also are in the voice cast.

I guess Skeletor will sound like Joker. Teela doesn't look like she would sound like Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Looks like a mix of the original and the recent (2002) remake. Does not feel that long ago.

Glad they didn't go with the She-Ra style. I liked She-Ra but it really wouldn't have suited this.

That struck me also in regards SMG but glad to see her pop in something.

I guess this is aimed to fill the void left by Castlevania ending. Hopefully it can learn from that series' mistake and tell a tighter story.

Yes 100% yes. Nostalgia level through the roof.

Sounds like Smith is going for quite a clean presentation. Fine with no sex and cursing anyway, getting around no blood however will be interesting.

CastorTroy · 11-06-2021 7:52pm

I don't remember much sex and violence in previous versions, and I don't count sexy Teela/Evil-Lyn/Sorceress.

I don't remember much profanity in Castlevania yet it was all over the Netflix show. Things change in adaptations.

Yuh!

Little disappointed that it's disconnected from She-Ra. I was hoping they would build on that mythos

chrislad · 12-06-2021 1:10pm

I believe there are rights issues - the owners of the He-Man IP don’t own the She-Ra IP so there’s likely messy legal stuff to get through that may not have been worth the effort.

Mattel doesn't own both? That's odd.

Is it a film or a series?

Series.

Kevin Smith is the show runner and it is a continuation apparently from the original cartoon.

Netflix also have a second He-Man series in the works. Anime and for adults.

Is there any site that streams the original? And the 2002 reboot?

silverharp · 15-06-2021 12:02pm

there is a suggestion out there that there is a bait and switch and Teela will be the main character in the second half.

I remember it being ok as a show as a kid, but would have preferred Battle of the Planets for example, not sure I'd want to see any remakes though

Battle of The Planets was flipping awesome.

Now I need to track that down.

Wasn’t there a live action Japanese movie a few years ago?

ted1 · 15-06-2021 12:09pm

I spotted Cringer/ Battle cat toys in synths and my 5 year old was wondering why I was so excited.

When was that? Are they to go with this show or was it years ago?

I only ever had the He-Man and Skeletor and was always wanting Battle Cat and the purple panther to go with them.

it was good, there is a good YT documentary on the history of the show, it was a retooled Japanese show with some bits taken out and new stuff added.
I think someone is trying to get it off the ground again

Have you seen the movie? Or are you just saying the show was good?

Yes the original Japanese was Gatchaman (plus something about science ninjas).
I know the version we got different and was told the original was quite violent and adult but I’m not sure about that - I think it was just considered too complicated for kids.

I would like to see the live action action movie (and plenty of other Japanese, Korean, Chinese stuff) but the only option I know of is blu-ray and I simply haven’t had the space for disks.

YouTube is a gold mine... I just happened to recently discover my (now) favourite channel

Just leave that running on all day on the TV... it's like reliving the good ol days

Thank you.

I’ve never seen that Star Fleet show before - 18 seconds in when the two guys are saluting it looks like the ginger puppet is doing a cock a snook. (Just learned it is called that))

Ha! I remember seeing that above my folk's cupboard after I asked Santa for it... that's the moment I realised who Santa really was.

this was 2 years ago btw

I realised after posting that I could just check the site to see if it was recent

The cats and figures have arm and leg joints. I don’t like that - prefer the original. Plus this new Battle Cat is put together so the joint goes right through the face and head.

Yup.. the "Skull" (I have watched this series again recently - the music was great!)

my only memory was insect like characters, the sailing ship and it wasnt animation. thought it was a bit thin for the name the show thread :pac: , I think I only saw it the once through so wasnt like other similar ones that were always on repeat. Will watch the first few episodes to see how it goes

Shrek and He-Man are basically the same. Heroes, charming, brave and the genuine depiction of true masculinity.

I think they do, but don't Netflix and Dreamworks have a current series? Something similar to Sony and Marvel - Marvel own the character, Spider-Man, but not the rights to use it without Sonys permission.

Amazon have a Masters of the universe page

https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Masters+of+the+Universe/page/8AD3A04D-71A6-4C8F-A1F5-04B78B855594

the origin are the original figures, and there's a new range (new models) for the new Revelation shows.

Just watched the first 5 episodes.

Smith lied through his teeth, all the rumours were true.

Teela is the main character, and she is a butch angry lesbian.

He-Man is barely in it and is portrayed as a clown and there are no male lead characters, its all female, which is baffling considering He-Man was a boys toy/show.

It should have been called She-Man.

It could have been excellent as the animation is excellent, the voice work is good and Bear Mc Creary does a typical great job with the soundtrack but instead they sacrificed it on the altar of woke.

Its watchable but could have been so much better.

CastorTroy · 23-07-2021 9:58pm

I liked it and will keep watching when it comes back.

I'm not saying it because it's a female led show, but there were times where it felt like the She-Ra Netflix series.

I know Mark Hamill's doing a different voice but I could only really hear Joker in Skeletor's voice
