So, after a year of teasing Master of the Universe: Revelation is available on Netflix, and it's… something.
So devoid of the queer charm of the OG series that I felt like overcompensating and giving you majokko He-Man
MotU Revelations feels like if Star Wars started from The Empire Strikes Back instead of A New Hope. Lots of action, highly bangable character designs, not so likable characters, and the cheapest of cliffhangers.
hey, before we start I want to promote my safe twitter profile. If you want to look at the side of me that give birt to these supersilly illustrations and superserious take, follow me there.
I will try to keep it spoiler-free, but I have at least to explain the setup of the "series" (more of a 2 hours movie divided into 5 segments) that is the first episode:
He-Man pulls a Goku: sacrifices himself to save Eternia from a magical explosion, pulling out of his ass that the sword might work as a deflector for the energy congestion (there will be a lot of these magical asspulls.)
He dies together with Skeletor, Teela then discovers that he was Prince Adam because he un-transformed during the deflection (superdramatic asspull) and they go to inform King Randor.
The King, that in this version is Daddy Issues 1:1 flares up and bans from the court Man-at-Arms. Teela then decides to do the most human thing and lashes out at two parents that just lost their son and at her dad just fired because they didn't trust her with the secret of Adam's identity.
He throws away her tiara, shows her gorgeous flowing hair to the camera, then leaves vanishing in a crowd of anthros because we have to pander to the furry demographic.
She's the protagonist of the series, it's foreshadowed that she will be the next wielder of the Sword of Power. We're asked to root for her

Sorry for not replying to your comment sooner, trying to compile my thoughts about He-Man. First, I want to say that I should re-watch Sailor Moon to see her use the more versatile way of using Moon Gorgeous Meditation. The second thing I want to say is how I agree with your hot takes on He-Man. Even though I am not as much of a fan as others due to being introduced with the 2002 version, I think I get its charm. With this version, it doesn't even feel like what the 2002 version was trying to do with this sequel series. There are contrivances with the plot and problems with the characters that stray from the original. An example is how the secret of Adam being He-Man would be traumatic, but the way it happened and how the characters reacted, felt off. I am also familiar with Kevin Smith's work, and it does tend to have dark tones but lacks substance in places which can be seen in Revelations. It felt like a deconstruction but ended up having a darker and edgier show that doesn't have any of what the original or even the 2002 He-Man had that would make it good or even great. I am not looking forward to the second season, and it may just make it worse rather than better.
