What this version of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe lacks in nostalgia it more than makes up for with smart dialogue, good CGI, and its ability to start building the world of Eternia from scratch with a compelling story.
after the Kevin Smith's diarrhea of "he-mam" this show hits al the notes. its fresh and a new take on it, without trying to hide it. But keeps the core intact and has a lovely balanced cast of heroes and villains. Packed with alot of new and familiarity for all ages. great show
I was also surprised how good this show is. I really enjoyed the pace, and the different character designs are fleshed out. The only gripe i have with the show is how low quality the 3D Surroundings look like. They would look so much better if they invested a little bit more time on them.
But still i enjoyed watching it.
this is honestly surprisingly good its a new take on He-Man and its universe and fixes some of the problems with the original series i recommend you give this a try even if you didnt like the original cartoon
and this is a complete reboot not a remake
He-Man & The Masters of the Universe is a reinterpretation of the original show, where both young and adult will find something of their own. For children, this is a great show with a bright action and excellent character design. For adults, this is a rather interesting and inventive reinterpretation of a show familiar from childhood. But what everyone from young to old can appreciate is a high-quality and at the same time simple plot, with an accessible and relevant at all times message about camaraderie, friendship and strength, which should be shared and used for good. Separately, it is worth noting the 3D redesign of the characters, it is excellent, especially for villains. Speaking of villains here, they are more than competent and represent significant competition for heroes. It's also very interesting to watch Skeletor, I think this iteration of the character is probably the best. After watching the first season in one breath, I had a very positive impression and a desire for more. So I'm looking forward to the second season.
Because it's a complete reboot, I'm giving it a lot of slack. If I were a kid today, I would probably love it. As an adult who grew up with the original, it's a bit disappointing.
They do give reasonable story lines to some of the changes they made, if a little cliché at times. I don't know that the cyberpunk feel is right for the property. It's grown on me over the 10 episodes, but it's still a little weird. It really bothers me that He-Man skips leg day. EVERY DAY IS LEG DAY! and the wannabe "imagine dragons" theme song is just awful.
Also, making the shift from a hero-focused story to an ensemble team story, somewhat reminiscent of power rangers dynamics, feels odd. This is not at all the He-Man I grew up with, and it's not how I would have done a reboot. I don't believe we needed a hard reboot like this. The 200X series was the right way to do a reboot (and it had things I didn't love as well...) But it's not terrible, and it's orders of magnitude better than Kevin Smith's travesty.
