FILMATION animation studio APPRECIATION

[Nate Grey]

At 1:19, Teela begins telling her mom Sorceress to f### off?
And at 1:33 the middle finger to Teela's destiny of becoming the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull

At 1:55 foreshadowing the technological sword
with which Prince Adam becomes He-Man?
This technological sword is crafted by at 4:55 spoilers:

Teela-At-Arms

end of spoilers

I actually debated with myself whether to put this in the official thread but decided I didn't want certain people flagging this man's channel.

My only point of contention is what Randor said to Adam is out of line. The rest I'm in full "wait and see it could be good" mode.

Right on! At 1:34 Randor admits he is PROUD of Adam...

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Prince Adam learns from his mistake...

Prince Adam learns from his mistake...

One thing the original series got right, was the importance of parents, biological and surrogate alike. Here we see Duncan give Adam some fatherly advice. The last clip was Randor saying he's proud of his son. The famous episode of Marlena saying she figured out her son was He-Man but keeps his secret. Duncan's love for his adopted daughter Teela of course. And of course, Sorceress toward Teela.

Interestingly, I felt Adora got the short end of the stick in this regard. Kinda sorta Queen Angella I guess. Maybe the new cartoon fixed this?

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

After a small scene in "The Energy Beast" we all questioned whether or not
Queen Marlena knew if Prince Adam and He-Man were one and the same.
Bob Forward's dialogue, Linda Gary's voice acting, and Gwen Wetzler's directing
of this final scene from "The Rainbow Warrior" pretty much indicate that she knows
a connection between her son and the most powerful man in the universe exists...

Was thinking The Rock would make a great BraveStarr maybe RDJ for Tex Hex in a movie.

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Looking at the BraveStarr intro opening...

...YEAH!, The Rock and RDJ could be great casting.

So He Man's Grandfather is now...

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

...BLACK!

So He Man's Grandfather is now...

Jinx! Just saw that this morning. lol

[CliffHanger2]

So He Man's Grandfather is now...

Guess it's a Ronda Rousey thing.

[Hypestyle]

I'm thinking Filmation would have done well by Thor back then. Similar swords-and-sorcery backstories. Certain episodes could be on Asgard, some could have been on Earth.

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

At 3:19 ...He-Man isn't Thor

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Not gonna lie...the only hairstyle I've ever liked on He-Man is the one from the Filmation series. New Adventures and 20XX, wtf was that. The reissued toys, the ones currently on the shelves with more points of articulation...not a fan of his hairstyle there either.

The above is my description for the Teela character...

Why keep trying to update the Prince Valiant hair? Yes its dated, just like the Conan the Barbarian look is but they don't try to put him in pants and a shirt. lol The whole look goes together.

At 2:00 Sarah Michelle Gellar FINALLY resonates to the half shaved head Teela character
given that before the Filmation Teela character was part of a world laser focused on young boys...

Hold up, Mr. Melissa Benoist said we never saw He-Man and Skeletor fight? yes we did, wtf.

Isn't there an old saying "once you close the deal SHUT UP"?
