[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 8352400, member: 1125"] I binged all 5 and while its a serviceable story it ultimately rang hollow and the execution was quite frankly insulting to the legacy of He-Man and more importantly Adam. While it started okay and the episode 1 set up was fine, the jump after episode 2 quickly lost the momentum. While it was cool having Teela finally promoted to Man-at-Arms and her leading this story arc, , having no male leads (I dont count a robot or a faceless trollan) was I think a terrible creative choice, especially when the new character Andra was relegated to background after episode three - MotU is ultimately a show targeting boys toys, She-Ra is the show to highlight female leads (and I ultimately loved its netflix reboot) the males in this are largely fridged While the cast is talented and the character cameos are fun (especially episode 5) the voices didnt fit some characters (Merman), Mossman was wasted, Evil Lyns story didnt fit (she isnt Spellweaver), Orko wasnt fun, and having Skeletor as a Joker-ripoff was naff. I'm treating this as alternate reality fan movie as we still have the 2000s reboot as a true successor to the He-Man legacy. Personally I would have really liked to see more interaction between Adam and Teela and have the story further explore Adams psychology without the He-Man [I]crutch, [/I]but we get something that totally dumps on the male leads and replaces them with a story that is trying too hard to be deep and meaningful.
