Those Maniacs! They Blew It Up! My She-Ra Dreams Are Dead!
God damn you all to Hell! Kevin Smith has announced that he’s going to showrun a Netflix revival of the original Masters of the Universe cartoon from the 1980s. Not a reboot, but a continuation of wherever that original He-Man cartoon left off. Ridiculous.
It’s going to be called Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
First of all, what a dumb name. Could you be any more generic? Did someone not like Masters of the Universe: Vengeance?
Second of all, who really cares or remembers how the original 1980s cartoon left off? I watched that cartoon as lovingly as I watched all the other 80s cartoons and I don’t care one lick! I know that original Masters of the Universe fans still exist, but come oooon. Are those few people really so passionate as to catch Netflix’s attention? So much so that it has to be a continuation and not a reboot?
Third of all, I’m just really salty that this garbage is probably going to supersede He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cast joining the amazing She-Ra and the Princesses of Power cartoon. I just did a List of Six about this, people! That’s supposed to be part of the She-Ra endgame!
Grumble grumble.

Yes the She-Ra reboot was awesome. If anything they should add Adam into this universe as an offshoot kinda how they did for She-ra on He-Man in the 80s. Lets be clear, the Masters of the Universe were fun (when i was a kid) however I don’t think the “Story lines” are the important part of what will stand up in 2019.
Right?! Who even remembers the “storylines” from the previous cartoon. He-Man fought Skeletor. Done. What great cliffhanger is Kevin Smith going to resolve? I would much rather trust Noelle Stevenson with the Masters of the Universe material.
I loved the Voltron netflix reboot too. Fans nostalgically remember the characters. Not the story lines beyond basics. Make the thing your own
Heck yeah! That Voltron show was awesome!
