He-Man really can't catch a break in recent years with the show She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power splitting the fanbase and Masters Of The Universe: Revelation splitting it even further it was quite shocking when it was announced that exact same creative team would be back for a new sequel or spin off show. With this show not even really getting all that much attention from Netflix with the marketing for the show only really happening roughly about a week or so ago and really going virtually unnoticed by alot of people and so then join me as I review the show that not alot of people will really know is even a thing with the show in question being called simply just "Masters Of The Universe: Revolution" enjoy.
The plot of the show is Prince Adam's father dies he gives up his right to throne to a previously unheard of relative and Teela goes on quest to restore a place where all the heroes of Eternia go to when they die. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as the plot of this show really isn't all that good either as it's story just isn't all that gripping and really does nothing all that new with the shows cast of characters with the episodes plot also having plot twists that people can really see the shows plot twists really coming a mile away as well with this not really being helped by the fact the shows plot really isn't all that entertaining nor is it all that engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this show is Chris Wood as Prince Adam / He-man and A Sailor and Tim Sheridan as King Miro. Also starring in this show is Mark Hamill as Skeletor , Melissa Benoist as Teela , William Shatner as Keldor , Meg Foster as Motherboard , Keith David as Hordak , John De Lancie as Granamyr , Gates McFadden as Queen Marlena , Diedrich Bader as King Randor and Buzz Off , Liam Cunningham as Duncan , Susan Eisenberg as The Sorceress , Ralph Garman as Fisto and Rio Blast , Phil Lamarr as Mendor , Griffin Newman as Orko and Tuvar , Stephen Root as Cringer and Snout Spout , Jason Mewes as Baddrah , Tiffany Smith as Andra , Tony Todd as Scareglow , Harley Quinn Smith as Queen Amelia , Brett Rash as Prince Keldor , Jakari Fraser as Prince Randor , Cam Clarke as Stonedar , Jeffrey Combs as Zodak , Grey DeLisle as Despara and Game Of Thrones star Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn "Lyn" / Majestra.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With the actors that you expect a great performance from like Mark Hamill really truly delivering a good and solid performance but at the same time the rest of cast just don't deliver a good performance at all with alot of the shows cast just phoning in their performances with the same thing also being true for actors who we know can turn in a good performance like William Shatner for example who is solid in this show but he doesn't turn in the kind of good performance that we know that he can do with this not really being helped by the fact that the shows scripts gives none of the cast really nothing to work with interms of what there characters personalities are even meant to be in the first and as a result the shows cast just can't turn in a good performance as the shows scripts really just won't allow for them to do so.
Doing the animation for this show is of course the legends and the greats that are currently over at Powerhouse Animation Studios.Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty one of the true highlights of the show as the animation that's in this show was really good which is really nothing new as the previous show had some really good animation in it as well which means that it only made sense that this show would also feature some really good animation in it as well with the show taking an anime inspired look which is something that works really well for this show and for this version of the franchise.

For those of you wondering this show is a slight improvement over Revelation but at the same time this show also falls into the exact same trappings that that show fell into. With this show killing of a main character in it's first episode with King Randor dying which granted isn't as bad as He-man dying at the start of Revelation but at the same time tho it felt like rehash of something that clearly didn't work the first time that they tried it and were as Teela was undoubtedly the main character of Revelation here the main character is oddly enough Skeletor with Prince Adam / He-Man once again feeling like a side character in his show and even that's being kind as Teela once again plays a bigger role in the shows plot then He-Man does which is just just something that will never work as you go into a Masters Of The Universe show wanting to see He-Man as the main character and really not his main villain and most certainly not one of the shows many side characters.
To put it bluntly it really does seem like that Netflix is ashamed of this show as not only has the show not received that much interms of promotion. With it seems like only show creator Kevin Smith and a few of the cast members doing the legwork interms of getting the show out there with official Netflix accounts barely mentioning the show at all and yet Revelation got a ton of promotion from the official Netflix accounts with them talking about the show every single chance that they got which makes it weird that they would barely mention this show at all as this show is only slightly better then what Revelation was and as such you'd think that Netflix would be all over at trying to get more viewers to watch it and yet it doesn't appear that that will be the case at all as they've done such a terrible job with the marketing of this show.
Like with the previous series this one does end with a tease of what's to come this time with Grey Delisle's Despara character. With that character basically being the shows version of Princess Adora / She-Ra which is a really interesting way of getting around the copyright for the character and yet at the same give that there no more confirmed episodes for this show yet it kind of feels like a pointless cliffhanger as it does't look like it's something that's going to be getting payed off anytime soon but with there being so little information about this show out there there could be more episodes in the can with that character and we don't even know about it and given but given how the story ends it would be pointless to give it more episodes as this show pretty much wrapped up the whole storyline for this version of the franchise but given how it looks like that she might be portrayed should this show get more future episodes it would be great to see another villain instead of Skeletor who is still a good villain but in this show he just wasn't that interesting of a character and having Despara come in as a new villain could be interesting.
Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running timer of roughly three hours in total with each episode being no longer then twenty seven minuets. With the thirty minuet format being a fairly solid for each of this shows five episodes as it does allow for what little story this show is trying to tell to be at the forefront and not only come up every few episodes or so but on the flip side of that is the fact that because this show is so short it now means that problems might have been minor issues or now major issues as we the audience or now forced to focus on them alot more as we're not really given alot of other things to focus on during the shows five episodes with this show really needing at least three more episodes in order to do it's story justice with this not really being helped by the fact that the show really does have some really bad pacing to it with the story moving by at such a fast pace that it's unreal.
So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented t us in this very film was in all honesty pretty good. Which wasn't all that surprising as the same thing was also true for Revelation but the action in that show worked a little bit better as the story took it's time to be fully developed and yet here because while the action in this show does have some really cool moments in it it's not really as effective as it really should have been due to the fact that the story is so rushed due to the small amount of episodes and yet when we do get some really cool moments in this show they are some genuinely really cool moments and it's those moments that make the action in this show worth watching in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Overall while this show is slightly better then Masters Of The Universe: Revelation it's still not a good show and if we are getting more episodes be it in a Part 2 or it's own separate show then the makers of this show really will have to do something to get the die hard fans back on board as right now there really not even looking at this show as it's just that bad of a show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked abut all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies ad gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Masters Of Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the official Masters Of The Universe fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official Masters Of The Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
