Written by After a great run, the new Netflix animated series “Masters of the Universe: Revolution” has fallen off the Netflix Top 10 TV Shows in the United States chart after six days.
Debuting at #6 on January 25th, it was an impressive run for an animated series based on an 1982 toy property so long ago. Kevin Smith already praised the sophomore entry for surpassing the original (that report can be found HERE) so congratulations to “Masters of the Universe: Revolution” for their 6 day run on the U.S. Top 10!
This journey isn’t over yet though, so keep watching until we hear another entry in this terrific Netflix Masters of the Universe continuity has been greenlit. We’ll see you next time!
We came so close to a whole week 😿
@eternianbunny If there were more episodes, it would still be up there!
as of 5 hours ago it was still in top 10. i checked.
Flix Patrol says it fell off too.

Maybe your app needs refreshing?
Wait. It says 10 in the US but is -1 in movement. If it was 10 yesterday wouldn’t that make it 11 today?
That is odd!
So I cleared the cache of my Netflix app and rebooted it… plus logged into Netflix from a web browser to verify… and they are both showing it as off the Top 10 (unfortunately)… with no tag in the corner saying it’s a top 10 show anymore.
Well it did amazing!
6 days is good for a He-Man cartoon right? This ain’t exactly live action Star Wars.
This is a great showing for such an old brand.
im happy with its performance thus far. i hope we get another season. maybe osme advertizements would hlep. ? youtube twitch. more interviews?
a netflix aftershow?
Iimo, Mattel has not done the best job in advertising MOTU in general from the toys to the shows. You can’t count on Fandom alone, as mighty as we are.
“But fandom is cheap and does it for free!" <- Mattel exec… probably
Some passionate individuals that might work there aside my impression of modern Mattel as a whole is that they have no idea why MOTU sells; they really do not want to bother to get why it does and keep producing with dumbfounded looks on they faces completely relying on everyone else to carry the franchise. Sure, when asked they drum their chests and proclaim the opposite but… thats just cheap talk. Looking at what they do… or rather not do.
I found out they are back with MOTU by pure accident when they suddenly had toys in a local toystore. As an old fan I then looked for it and found information inside the fandom and Mattels own bubbles but I do not recall any kind of ad campaign; much less a major one.
Well, dang. I just logged in and it still said #10, and in the split second it took for me to try and get a screen shot, the #10 was gone. Still, a great run!
what was the rating of the cgi he man? was it similar did it break top 10 at all?
The only thing I could find took me back to here.

whoa! Omg! I’m watching the show, right now, and I’m starting the fourth episode. Incredible! Till now it has been really awesome! I have really no complaints about anything I’ve seen, even if thanks to the internet I had already discovered some of the main spoilers! And there is so much potential for future action figures!
Thumbs up!
@alteredquantum It’s a good one bruh. wait till ya see the action figures that come out of ep 5 🔥
Ok. I’ve finisced to watch the whole Revolution show some minutes ago. Really, really good. The last scenes seem to promise a continuation of the series, and I’m really happy about that. When I heard Kevin Smith talking about the reasons for the 5 episodes only, suggested by an algorithm, I was sceptic, because in my opinion the producers were uncertain, after the first season, about the future of this new series, then decided to go on full steam but with a minor budget. They took the risk, but this time the story was solid, there is spotlight for all the main characters, and there is even a lot of surprises. This season now in my opinion is almost perfect, and left me wanting for more. I’m very optimist that there will be a third season and maybe they won’t stop there to enclose the entire series in a trilogy.
By the action figures point of view, I’m a little bit confused: are there going to be multiple versions of He-man, Man-at-arms(->at-war, now), Teela, Scare-glow and Skeletor-tek-whatever? What about Hordak and his allies? In the last episode, there was a real explosion of new versions of the same characters, I really wonder if Mattel will really make all those versions and all the characters portrayed. Time will tell!
If renewed, there will be another 2 years between seasons, so plenty of time for new figures.
