He-Man and the Masters of the Universe return

[sherkahn]

IGN has the news that Prince Adam and his out-of-the-closest alter ego ( I keed!) and friends return for more adventures in Eternia.

Everything old is new again.






From the article....

... the new series begins with "Skeletor having won a major victory and rewriting the world of Eternia where he now rules from Castle Grayskull and the Masters have no memory of their former glory" and chronicles Adam's ascent to becoming the world's champion He-Man. The series will debut in July, celebrating the franchise's 30th anniversary.

I really do like the characters, but I hope to see something new and creative and brave with the story. Otherwise it feels like the cartoon reboot did from 2002. (Has it been 10 years already?!)

It wasn't until the reboot that I learned that the Sorceress was Teela's mom.

I still think the reboot wussed out by not making Man-at-Arms Teela's bio-dad.

I think they left hints that he WAS her bio-dad, but because of the amnesia he had at the time, doesn't remember it, and the Sorceress might not want to put the onus on him for something he did when he couldn't remember it.

Although the creators apparently planned to reveal that Fist-O, Man-At-Arm's brother, was Teela's bio dad.

...Fist-o? FIST-O?

[md84]

Is that shock that he is Teela's dad, or shock that they named him that?

[auggie18]

That there's a dude out there named Fist-o. I mean, damn. Was he from the original, at least? 'cause otherwise, I think fisting was enough of a thing in 2002 for them to realize what a bad idea naming him that was.

[freezer]

Fist-o was one of the lesser-known characters from the original run. His gimmick: Cyborg arm with giant fist. (Hence "Fist-O")

The 2002 reboot made him Man-At-Arm's older brother

Oh you are so not the first to have that reaction.... (As Fisto said to his date...)

THIS is Fisto

Yes, sorry, should have mentioned there was another likely candidate.
