He-Man Hulks Out in First Trailer for MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION - PART 2
Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation - Part 2. The first part of the series was decent, but a lot of fans lashed out over the lack of He-Man. This backlash caught Smith off guard and he lashed back at the fans saying:
"I see people online go, ‘Hey man, they’re getting rid of He-Man!' Like, you really fucking think Mattel Television, who hired me and paid me money, wants to do a fucking Masters of the Universe show without He-Man? Grow the fuck up, man. Like, that blew my mind, bunch of people being like, ‘Oh, I smell it. This is a bait and switch.'"
Chris Wood, who voices He-Man, tried to ease the minds of fans, explaining:
"Adam’s not dead; he’s very wounded. If you want to light the whole world on fire, in terms of destroying a fandom, you’d take He-Man out and be like, 'That’s it, he’s gone, bye!' Now what they’ve done is they’ve found really interesting ways to turn the dynamics of the show on its head and raise the stakes to a point that the original never saw."
We will now get to see how this story will continue. As you’ll see in the trailer, He-Man is back with a vengeance as he completely hulks out as he harnesses the Power of Greyskull! Skeletor wants to kill He-Man once and far all, but I don’t think he stands a chance. On top of that, Teela is looking to tap into some magical powers to take on Evil Lyn.
The synopsis for the series reads:
The war for Eternia culminates in MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION, an innovative and action-packed animated series that picks up where the iconic characters left off decades ago. After a cataclysmic battle between He-Man and Skeletor, Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. And after decades of secrets tore them apart, it’s up to Teela to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.
I think this trailer will ease the minds of fans who didn’t like the first part of the series and make them happy. He-Man is a very prominent character in the story. The epic conclusion to Masters of the Universe: Revelation - Part 2 premieres on November 23rd. Only on Netflix.
