Yeah most if not all seems to agree it is better than Revelation, I am glad to see Hordak, Grizzlor and Leech again. 😻

I don't give an F about critics...............

but its cool that they like it 🤣

As a newer fan to Masters of the Universe I am not as firmly tied to the canon/lore as long standing fans might be so the direction they are taking MOTU is all new and exciting for me. I absolutely loved and adored Revelation. It is the show that brought me into the fandom, so I was highly anticipating Revolution. For me personally, I love it for what it is, but to be 100% honest I was a little disappointed. With the show reduced to only 5 episodes the story felt rushed. There just wasn't enough time to flesh out the story and character development AND include all the action. The writing team for MOTU Revelation/Revolution is absolutely superb and I feel like the abbreviated episode count didn't let them fully shine as they could. So, while I do love Revolution I was left wanting more. Hopefully the next season, and I am hopefully anticipating another season, will be able to contain more episodes and bring a balance between action and story.

I'll say this...(SLIGHT SPOILERS TO FOLLOW!)

After "The Kiss" (My eyes may or may not have puddled up) and duel transformation scene I was doing a very passable impression of Tom Cruise on Opra's couch. Whooping like an 8 year old! I "rewound" (yep. I'm one of the old fans) that sequence 3 times. It got better each time.

I watched it all in one sitting. I was not capable of pacing my viewing to "save some for the weekend". It just kept on going and I was along for the ride. Due to the truncated episode run count the pacing was obviously rushed. Especially during the "King Keldor" plot point. Some rando blue dude just shows up claiming to be a long lost uncle (bruh...not even a DNA quick-test?), fights ONE battle with very similar techno-capabilities as the bad guys, and Adam is like,"Word. Ok, Bruhuncle. I know you only been around like 10 minutes. But it's cool. You be King". And afterwards Andra was all,"You like me!? REALLY!? Ok GREAT! I'm pretty starved for attention nowadays so let's team up! I like experimenting on people so let's chip the entire populace with an experimental prototype techno-sacrament! Sounds like great fun! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!"

Skeletor whippin Hordak's ass was unexpected and pretty great. Lena Hedley absolutely devoured every scene she appeared in. Lyn's character went through the most profound metamorphosis of all the characters in the series. And Hedley handled it masterfully. Her range was impressive. She may be remembered more for this role than Cersi Lanister. At least she will to me.

All in all I LOVED it. It felt more like a very epic movie than a "series". And I would like to see a "director's cut" film that added some content without episode cuts.

AJ, was right. We're hopefully gonna get like 15 new figures out of this.

T. Baserelli (I can't spell it!) said on the For Eternia podcast that this was a smaller story, meant to be five episodes. As quickly as Adam gives up the crown to his uncle, this is kind of in keeping with established story decisions in mini-comics, etc. I agree that the "epic binge watch" format of Netflix doesn't constrain the writers and animators in the same way that something like a 8-page mini-comic or a 22 minute 1980's episode, but the swiftness that this story moved on the point mentioned seemed like a call-out to the past sort of to me. We can tell that he really doesn't want to stop being He-Man. I like how he has the conference room meeting with Keldor to investigate further his claims. He should have vetted Keldor a little more, but the act that he put on seemed genuine, and he didn't seem to have usurping motives. Of course, I suspected exactly what happened...That he was somehow really Skeletor, Demon-from-another-dimension regardless. I didn't call the mind wipe idea, and found this to be an interesting compromise on the mini-comics/200x story.

For the first time in eons I was like ok. I hope they come out with this toy or that toy! Lol like I loved the dragon.

And I’ desperately would love to have a Megaconstrux modified skelly grayskull. Doubt that ever happens thou lol

@zukny Would you be there for a Mattel Creations Masterverse Granamyr crowdfund?

@firmpulse sounds like a good idea! My main collection lately has been all the megaconstrux.  But I dive into other pieces too.
