Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Prince Adam's narrative during the opening titles is a variation on the opening monologue from the original "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" (1983). In both cases, it's meant to explain the Adam/He-Man relationship, but here Adam is interrupted. The unfinished portion from the original is: "Fabulous secrets were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said, 'By the power of Grayskull!'" more
Quotes:
[Skeletor is wearing a magical belt that electrocutes him whenever he says, does, or thinks anything evil]
Skeletor: He- Man, defeated. This is the most delightful moment of my...
[the belt shocks him]
Skeletor: AAAAH.

The power rekindled, 21 October 2004
Author: Derek MacDonell (ThePaladin1) from Calgary, Alberta

I was born in 1983 (the same year the original series first came out) so it's not too far of a stretch to say that I literally grew up with it, in any case it remains one of my all time favourites. So, when I heard they were coming out with a remake I was hopeful, but skeptical. I've seen too many fall flat and too many are blatant money ploys with little bearing on the original (like a certain movie that I won't name.).

That said, when I first watched the series I was pleasantly surprised. This is obviously a labour of love that gives as much respect to old schoolers like myself as it does to those who have never even heard of Eternia. I was amazed to see the amount of detail, from Evil-Lynn's hair to the long standing Keldor/Skeletor rumour, that was brought into it.

The characterization is also terrific and they've even expanded on as are many of the details and relationships that weren't as heavily addressed in the old one. The animation is much richer and smoother and the series lacks the classic "80s cheese" (oh well).

Not to say that there aren't some points that I don't think work well ie: my biggest problem is Cringer not talking, though that's a rant I've done elsewhere.

This is a strong series that I've really enjoyed up to now and is, so far, a worthy successor to the original.
