Spoiler

Thanks for this. I was especially curious about He-Ro, as the comic only hinted to his role in the mythos.

That clip didn't impress me much.

Interesting...


We know the sword gets divided, that's in the trailer but does Grayskull get destroyed as we know it?

I mean in story, no matter how much the iconography matters to fans, Grayskull is just supposed to be camouflage for the secrets inside.

Does Skelator succeed in decimating the castle?

Spoilers are already starting to make their way around the Net, folks. Tread carefully.

Did Kevin Smith really spoil something I would consider major?

It's major, yes.

Hilarious.

What is the spoiler and can anyone please tell me where I could read them?

What is the spoiler and can anyone please tell me where I could read them?

Well if it's what I saw it's

Spoiler

It's Orko gets killed/dies. I didn't watch the video and I don't even remember what channel it was. I'll be surprised if it actually comes off as anything other than pointless and unneeded. I'll come and say I was wrong if it really is a big emotional moment. Aside from Teela's generic redesign this is the only other thing I've seen that has me thinking I don't know about this.

I picked up the He Man figure last week and other than the head sculpt I really like the figure. To me the head sculpt seems a little to cartoonish for lack of a better word. I think I would feel different if the sculpt was more serious instead of having a kinda goofy smile. I think Evil Lyn is the best looking figure based on pictures as I've only seen He Man, Skeletor and Skelegod in person.

Wow that sounds awful. Stupid derivative writing seeking cheap crap immediate emotional responses. That really doesn’t sound like it will project well

I found something else not too confidence inspiring, Kevin Smith said fans will either love us or hate us by episode 5. Sounds like this will be an unnecessary divisive take on the material rather than something more unifying and organic. Let’s see how this turns out

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I LOVE that spoiler especially if said character goes out like a badass.

I'm sorry but... I have ZERO emotional attachment to this character in any real meaningful way. Give them a place inside the other characters' hearts going forward so there's some honoring of what came before but let's be ****ing serious... This character in no way shape or form is anything but grating in ALL forms they've taken.

Also, dramatic tension, weight... I DO think stuff like this adds texture and dimension to a story.

I know the popular hot take is to gripe about "po-faced" darkness around these parts but that's as knee jerk a reaction as what those folks think they are opposing.

Question...

How was Teela's previous designs NOT "generic" by the usual colloquial use of the term?

Because I think "generic warrior woman from fantasy artwork" fits as a description of traditional Teela's designs.

 

[lespaul59]

In my opinion of you take Teela's original design both with and without the snake armor (headdress?) It would stand out say in The Witcher games, Conan comics, Dungeons and Dragons and even something like The Warlord (DC). But the new design to me would just blend in with every other characters. Her new design to me looks like a female version Olgierd Von Everec from The Witcher 3: Heart of Stone. With that being said after watching the show it could be a case of an I get it. But to be honest I think it's just supposed to be a edgy modern look.

I also think if you place the original Feels in say a Frazetta painting she is going to stand out as somebody important.

As far as the other thing I mentioned I don't really have a emotional attachment and have a issue from that point of view. My issue is I think it's ultimately going to be a case of hey look we did this thing to this character now feel sorry for the characters and let's the tears flow. And that's not ment to be a joke about Kevin Smith crying. If I had to compare it to something it would be

Spoiler

Duke dying in G.I. Joe Retaliation ( SPOILER tags just in case )

. I do have emotional attachment to that character and I was just like whatever.

I haven't written the show off but I'm also not going to love it just because it's a IP I love.

The 'Masters of the Universe: Revelation' cast says the Netflix show tackles 'the weight of deception'

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

So, it looks like the Masters: Revelation prequel from Dark Horse is actually a four-issue limited series that's currently on a monthly schedule. This means that the upcoming web series will have already been out months before the comic finally wraps in October.

Having said that, I read the first installment and thought I'd do a quick breakdown for those interested. (If you'd rather just get the book yourself, don't worry. Everything's in spoiler tags.)

Spoiler: Masters of the Universe: Revelation #1 Breakdown

- King Randor is suddenly attacked by a mysterious creature.

- Teela and the royal guard attempt to fend it off to no avail.

- He-Man joins the fray; but before he can strike a blow with the sword of power, the creature swiftly retreats.

- Learning that Randor has been left in a comatose state, the heroes rush him to Castle Grayskull.

- Referring to the creature as the Orlax of Primeria, the Sorceress explains that its hold on Randor is both mystic and interdimensional.

- Hoping to commune with the creature so as to gain further understanding of—and ultimately reverse—Randor's condition, she sends He-Man on a mission across time and space.

- In the distant past, He-Man learns that King Hiss and his army of Snake Men once used the Orlax to kidnap King Grayskull's oldest son, D'are.

- To meet that threat, Grayskull appealed to the Council of Elders.

- Under the Council's advice, Grayskull reluctantly stuck a bargain w/ a sinister being of skeletal countenance (an ancestor of Skeletor perhaps?) so as to acquire a special ore by which to further temper his Preternian sword.

- With the weapon having been suitably rendered capable of channeling the Elders' immense energies—energies that run the gamut between darkness and light—it was thus imbued; and the "sword of power" was born.

- Shortly thereafter, the Snake Men returned and used the Orlax to capture Grayskull's other son, Ro.

- The augmented Grayskull managed to dispatch his enemies forthwith and at the same time free both of his sons from the Orlax's grip by severing one of its limbs.

- While tending to D'are, Grayskull was left vulnerable to another attack from the Orlax, which is immediately thwarted by the time-displaced He-Man.

- D'are was never cured of his exogenous affliction, but Ro went on to become the warrior known as He-Ro.

- Before taking his leave, He-Man advises Grayskull to give his (once soft and welcoming) castle a thorough makeover, one that will strike fear into the hearts of would-be adversaries.

- Back in the present, He-Man provides the Sorceress with the severed limb of the Orlax he encountered from his time-spanning journey.

- A mere limb no longer, the Orlax has regenerated to full size and is kept at bay by the Sorceress all the while she attempts to establish a telepathic rapport with it.

- In a surprise reveal, we learn that Skeletor and Evil-Lyn have been busy trying to interface with the newly reconstituted Orlax as well. The reason behind their motives? To discover what it first came to warn Eternia about all those many years ago!

An addendum:

Spoiler

The being who provided King Grayskull with the ore needed to temper his sword as per the CoE's instructions is none other than Scare Glow.
