He-Man fans we are now living in an age where we have not one but two He-Man cartoons running together at the exact same time and airing on the exact same streaming service being produced by the exact same production companies. Since just a few months after Kevin Smith unleashed his "sequel" series Masters Of The Universe: Revelation Netflix and Mattel are back with yet another He-Man series with this one being a complete and total revamp of the franchise and so join me as I give you my first impression of the He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe 2021 TV series enjoy.
The plot of this episode is a thief called Teela steels the sword of power from the much hated King Randor and is tasked with finding a true champion to wield the sword of power and so she starts her quest by going to a tribe that's full to the brim with cats and other humans where she meets Adam who may or may not be willing to help her defeat a threat that has been tracking Teela since she stole the sword of power. Now then in terms of what I thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the plot of this episode was alot better then it really had any right to be since this show is being aimed at little little kids I thought that the plot for this episode was kind of dumb and pretty weak but nope the plot was honestly really freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Yuri Lowenthal as Prince Adam / He-Man , David Kaye as Cringer / Battle Cat and Kimberly Brooks as Teela and The Sorceress. Also starring in this episode is Judy Alice Lee as Krass / Ram Ma'am , Tom Kenny as RK Units , Benjamin Diskin as Keldor / Skeletor , the great Grey Griffin as Evelyn / Evil-Lyn , Roger Craig Smith as General Dolos , Antony Del Rio as Duncan / Man-At-Arms , Max Mitchel as Kitty and the great Fred Tatasciore as King Randor and Baddrah.
Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode was alot better then what it really had any right to be. Since nobody goes into a kids TV show expecting good acting and so I was in all honesty surprised to see that the acting that's in this episode was really freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.
So then doing the animation for not only this episode but for this show as a whole is CGCG and House of Cool Studios and well as you can see this show is the first ever Masters Of The Universe product that's 3D CGI animated instead of being 2D traditional hand drawn animated. In terms of what I thought about the animation that's in this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the animation that's in this episode was really good altho I do have to admit that I found it weird that everything else was in CGI and yet the clouds and smoke seem to cell shaded which just looked a little bit and a little weird for me personally in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then as you can all no doubt work out this TV series / TV show is a reimagining of the 1983 animated TV series / TV show He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe. Why Netflix and Mattel chose to produce two He-Man TV shows at the exact same time is beyond me since when marketing this show people would mistake this show for Masters Of The Universe: Revelation and as such I do feel that one of these two shows should have came out at the very least next year if not the year after just to give us a little bit of a breathing room between the He-Man shows in my opinion anyways / at least.
Not helping things is the fact that both this show and the 1983 original show both have the exact same name. Which now means people have to clarify which show they are now talking about which is bit of an annoying thing and plus it just goes to show that the makers of this new show have very little creativity when it comes to titles heck you could have just called this show either He-Man or simply just Masters Of The Universe and people would have known what brand name that this show is being associated with in my opinion anyways / at least.
I will very much admit that the marketing for this show didn't / doesn't this show any kind of justice whatsoever since the trailer for this show makes this show out to be like it's just for little little kids. When infact it's more for the whole family with this episode being very intense for little little kids but at the same time there are some scenes in this episode that little little kids will find to be rather freaking enjoyable in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and five seconds and well if i'm being very freaking honest here people this episode could and more importantly should have been alot freaking longer then that. Since there's more then enough there in terms of story to cover at the very least one hour and thirty minuets and on top of all of that your introducing a bunch of new characters and new world and so there's so much that you need to set up and that sadly isn't done in this very first episode and as such this very first episode of this show does indeed suffer for it in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then according to IMDB this show is being listed as an action show and so that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in my opinion anyways / at least the action that's featured / presented to us in this very episode is very passable at best. Which for a show where the main target audience is either very little kids or the whole family is something to be expected in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this honestly wasn't as bad of a first episode as I actually thought that it was going to be but tho with all of that being said this episode does indeed fail it doing alot of things that all good or even decent first episodes should do like setting up the central conflict of the show but for a more family friendly / family orientated version of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe this is honestly as good as you'd think that it is. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very post now then tho I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the show and not an actual review of the show in question.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Netflix fandom wiki page , the official He-Man and She-Ra fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from the actual film its self being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from this film all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
