In the latest episode of Fatman Beyond, Showrunner Kevin Smith took some time to talk about his latest animated effort "Masters of the Universe: Revolution" including how positive the response has been this second time around. One of the highlights of Kevin Smith's discussion was how he believes the Netflix algorithm helped him make a…

Revolution has been in the TV Top 10 is the US for 6 days so far whereas Revelation Part 2 was in the Kids Top 10 in the US for just 3 days. Assuming it still works this way, a Kids Top 10 can also be in the TV Top 10, like Cocomelon has in the past, so that would seem to indicate that Revolution is doing a lot better than Revelation Part 2.
Yeah, Revolution could be doing better than Part 1 of Revelation as well.
Revolution is Number 9 in the Global Top 10:
1.5 million views for the week.
How can anyone be mean to that man regardless if you liked Revelation or not. I 💗 you Kevin Smith.
part one brought back the power. part 2 powered us up!.
season 2 WAS A BIG upgrade( see what i did there?) in rating. / viewing so far.
all jokes aside. i want a season 3 desperately. please MATTEL#mattel #motu #season 3 !!!!!
everyone beter re watch it and atleast twweet at mattel ! please
we need dat season 3. show them your hype!
Glad to see this! So, will we be getting part 3?!
By the power, for the honor, for the glory of Grayskull!
This is a great podcast... Kevin sounds pretty optimistic about another season getting the okay.
It makes sense that the "almighty Netflix algorithm" of views dictates whether or not we'll see more MOTU on Netflix, and by all accounts, Revolution is performing better than Revelation did at this time. If the show remains popular for a while longer, it may be enough to get another 5 episode season.
Kevin also makes a great point about how much of the MOTU mythos was intertwined in Revolution:
*The kidnapping of Princess Adora (Filmation)
*Getting help from Gwildor (1987 Movie)
*Keldor is Randor's brother (MYP 200X)
*Despara wants revenge (DC MotU)
*The Horde dominion over the galaxy (MOTUC Bios)
*The Fright Zone (Mattel toy line)
I'm glad that Kevin gets to savor this round of MOTU and doesn't have to deal with the manbabies... he certainly deserves it for sticking to his guns.
Now, it's time to go watch Revolution a few dozen more times to try and bolster that Netflix algorithm...
>>>The Power of the Good and the Way of the Magic!<<<
IIRC these 5 episodes where still backed by money from when they expected that Revelation has Revolutions popularity; so they where kinda an already done deal. I do not assume or even dare to get my hopes up for more now. But it sure would be great to get more.
I'm not sure if Smith had some kind or Revelation (no pun intended) or simply savoured a big piece of humble pie but whatever it was; Revolution IMO brought the MOTU train back on track; let just hope not too late for its arrival.
"Less is more" means a great deal of things in today's streaming climate.
How long before Netflix decides to greenlight another season? We already have to wait until summer or fall of 2026 at the earliest before we could see a release, which is an unbearably long wait.
@lawgskrak Personally I think 10 episodes would have been too much. I wouldn't mind if it had another episode or two, but I think these 5 episodes did a great job of telling the story with no filler. I think Revelation was more epic in scope than Revolution and thus needed those 10 episodes.
