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?!)

I agree, although I suppose the plan is for them to regain their memories eventually. But bitter underdog/guerilla fights against Skeletor would be awesome and similar to one of my favorite stories from the old He-Man comics that I had growing up which was a Days Of Future Past thing where Adam travels to a future where Skeletor won (I think the Power Sword had been lost). Most had given up after years of battle and defeat until He-Man reminded them who they used to be and then they go after Skeletor, who had a similar outfit to his movie costume. I actually think it ended with two He-Men briefly.
Speaking of memory loss another fun story was when He-Man and Hordak lost their memories, got tossed into a backworlds planet, fought together and became friends until their memories returned.
