Grey DiLisle as the voice of Despara is interesting. She was born in 1973, so if she is playing Adora, she is voicing a lot younger character. Not that she hasn't done that before, but Despara didn't sound young.
I haven't watched the show, but I'm fairly curious about it. Certainly Midnight's Edge is already on the fence of bashing it, but this time I heard that there's much more He-man this time. I hope it wiill be ok!
Hmmm I am still on the fence of this actually being Adora but I hope it is. :3Grey DiLisle as the voice of Despara is interesting. She was born in 1973, so if she is playing Adora, she is voicing a lot younger character. Not that she hasn't done that before, but Despara didn't sound young.
Only thing that makes me think it can be Adora is because Adam dismantled the monarchy so she will not be princess Adora, might be part of the terms for being allowed to use Adora without She-Ra?

I couldn't wait, so I watched all five episodes last night. I really loved it!
I teared up a bit at the end when Granamyr told Evil Lyn that she was good Lyn. Damn. To me, her story arc has been the hit of the three parts.
@firefly It was! I saw the name in the credits and my jaw dropped. This show still managed to pack so many surprises, when it seemed like the trailer and the Keldor figure leak gave the entire thing away.
@he-dad I was stoked to see Stonedar (you can tell them apart because Stonedar has the gray crater-like outer shell whereas Rokkon is smooth and blue/silver), but I was sad to see him go out like that (maybe he's just... drained and will replenish at some point? Like maybe just splash water on him?). Between him and Zodac (FINALLY!!!), I felt incredibly satisfied by this batch of episodes. Fingers crossed we get more down the road (and in less than two years' time!).
He's definitely dead, he was seen as one of the heroes in Preternia.
Oh, that's right! Womp womp. Interesting that he died at the hands of the Horde on another planet (or rather, above it in a space ship) yet still ended up in Preternia.
She's been my favorite thing about the entire series... the fact that she ends up with Zodac amongst the Cosmic Enforcers kind of blew my mind. I want THAT spin-off show next!I couldn't wait, so I watched all five episodes last night. I really loved it!

No one mentioned how awesome it was to see Rokkon yet? Quick question tho. Was Rokkon from a different planet other than Eternia? It looked that way to me.
That was Stonedar.

We saw Stonedar in Pretenia at the end, so he is likely not returning.

Midnight's Edge and Mr. H went down the rage-bait rabbithole a long time ago. There is more engagement, and thus more revenue, from being outrage merchants.
@dan1980 prehaps hun, using adora/she-ra IN PRINT has never been an issue for mattel. she-ra, catra, shadow weaver, the princess rebellion et al have all been prominently featured in the DC comics canon.
Though remember even there they had to have an agreement with the rights-holder, mentioned in the small legal print.
it reminds me of the old 200x comics from MV Creations, those were canon to the cartoon and featured characters that didn't appear in the show - like scare-glow, so scare-glow exsist in the 200x canon even if he didn't appear in the show.
A fun example, though a bit of an anomaly. Because Scare Glow got kinda snuck in just as the legal teams at Mattel were switching from one group to another. Not in any nefarious way.
But as a crude exaggerated example, had that comic been scheduled to come out 4 months later, Scare Glow would most likely not have existed in the comic. 😲

The Rock People have atleast 5 slightly altering Origin stories in vintage minicomics, cartoon, magazines, etc.
But they usually arrive to Eternia (or Etheria) from a different planet.
If we go by Filmation lore, that planet is Geolon. 😀
My daughter (14) and I watched all five episodes in a row and we thoroughly enjoyed it ! She gave it 12/10. 😀
I would love to have seen more of the Skeletor henchman but a minor issue. Will watch again. I found Revelation better the second time around so hope to have the same feeling with Revolution.
Hope to see a third series.
I plan to re-watch with my kids. I watched it by myself initially. I think it is funny that Andra is a big reason why the people all got infected and now she is running for leader. I'd stick with her being an army commander.
Finally got to watch it lastnight with my son. We loved it! Plan on watching it again already. Can't wait to see what new masterverse figures we get from this.

Well my best bet is that anything related to Princes of Power brand such as Catra, Scorpia, Shadow Weaver & She-Ra is a no go without DreamWorks/Universal saying yes. (at the very least on screen)
Anyhow when it comes to Adora/Despara, I think the reason Adam made Eternos a democracy is to please the rights holders to avoid the princess part for princess Adora?

I don't think whether she is a princess or not is a big deal on the rights issue. It did look like in a flashback that Hordak may have been stealing a baby, but they didn't show it clearly. I think if they did negotiate any rights with DreamWorks, it was probably just for Adora/She-Ra and not the other characters. They didn't really need any rights for this part, but will in the future if they want to go with Adora.
It very likely matters because Mattel told DreamWorks they were not allowed to use Castle Grayskull or planet Eternia, so the Princess part of Princess of Power and Princesses of Power does most likely indeed matter.I don't think whether she is a princess or not is a big deal on the rights issue.

Griffin Newman said Adora is what they hope to go for and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙀
@zodac yeah Lyn's arc in both series has been fantastic IMO. Love that she is part of the Cosmic Enforcers and it was so cool to see Zodak!
