Man, Skelegod in the CGI show is so much cooler.

[@BrickSomething]

Love your content. Always a great hit of nostalgia and solid info.

[@jamisonfrey3452]

The info isn't all that solid. Some of it is completely inaccurate to be honest. For instance, the claim that Revelation is a direct sequel to the Filmation show is false. Kevin Smith himself has stated that Revelation is a spiritual sequel not a true sequel to the original show. He has said so during some podcasts and in tweets as well. Here's a couple of his tweets confirming this. "The show's producer is Mattel- so everything we do in REVELATION is more toy- based. The old show is owned by another studio, which is why I've always said our Mastersofficial series is a spiritual sequel to the old show. Legally, we can't be an actual sequel to Filmation." "If by "wok" folks mean the female characters have agency, then Revelation is exactly as woke as the cartoon to which our series is a spiritual sequel because Teela and Evil-Lyn were in every ep, fighting alongside He-Man & Skeletor. And Sorceress is more powerful than all of 'em." So, Revelation is not a direct sequel to the Filmation show. It is it's own take on the property and exists within it's own continuity.

@@jamisonfrey3452 Check out Ted Biaselli’s interview on Geek. Dad. Life. here on KZbin. (Don’t think I can include a link.) I think this video’s info is fine based on the things I’ve heard, read, and seen.

[@jamisonfrey3452]

@@BrickSomething Yes, I've seen many of the interviews. But like I've said, 'Kevin Smith' (the showrunner) for Revelation has confirmed that they do not have the license to the Filmation series and therefore cannot be an actual sequel to that show. He himself calls it a spiritual sequel. I think he, being the showrunner, would know. So anyone claiming that Revelation is a direct sequel to Filmation is simply incorrect. Revelation is it's own take on the motu property and exists within it's own continuity.

[@jeremyblackmouth3323]

As usual, when someone does a recap of a franchise, they literally cherry pick facts and ignore so much that makes said recap video a joke. For starters, the terms "direct sequel" and "spiritual sequel" are as different as apples and oranges and confusing the two as being the same is laughable.

[@jamisonfrey3452]

Exactly. Kevin Smith himself has confirmed that Revelation is a spiritual sequel, not a true sequel. It is not connected to the Filmation show and exists within it's own continuity.

[@hdofu]

yeah Direct sequel = as in it is directly a sequel to the original, spiritual sequel on the other hand intended to take ideas and follow but not necessarily adhere to the prior stories' continuity

[@TLC21]

I can't believe how many people cried over the 1st few episodes of revelations, who knew there were so many he karens

[@jeremyblackmouth3323]

@@TLC21 considering that Kevin Smith lied four ways to Sunday about what his interpretation of the franchise was going to be and how widely his lies were spread which basically meant he was spreading false advertisements, he gave the viewers an actual reason to dismiss the show. Exactly how that tv show Resident Evil and the live action Cowboy Bebop shot their own foot while blaming the audience by saying they made them pull the trigger.

[@citadelli]

Everything but the animation and Easter eggs was a joke. Def not a direct sequel in any way to the original series.

[@rollin-kimblecroskey9110]

I for one don't consider Masters Of The Universe: Revelations as sequel to the original; a separate series!

[@jamisonfrey3452]

You are correct. It is not a direct sequel to the Filmation show. It is a spiritual sequel which would indeed make it a separate series that exists within it's own continuity. Kevin Smith himself has said that it is a spiritual sequel. In case you missed my post on this video here are some tweets by Kevin Smith confirming what I am saying. "The show's producer is Mattel- so everything we do in REVELATION is more toy- based. The old show is owned by another studio, which is why I've always said our Mastersofficial series is a spiritual sequel to the old show. Legally, we can't be an actual sequel to Filmation."

And Sorceress is more powerful than all of 'em." So, again, Revelation is not a direct sequel to the Filmation show. It is it's own take on the property and exists within it's own continuity. This would also explain why Evil-Lyn's and Roboto's origins are different in Revelation from what they were in the Filmation show. It would also explain the absence of She-Ra who was part of the Filmation series.

Revelations really isn't a sequel of the filmation series. There are even a few inconsistencies, as well as a few unexplained moments. Evil-Lyn's origins and motivations in Revelations are inconsistent with the filmation series. One of the biggest unexplained moments is how She-ra is nowhere to be seen, even though she's part of the filmation series.

[@garthdavis4320]

[@jamisonfrey3452]

Kevin Smith himself has said that they don't have the license to the Filmation show and that Revelation can't be an actual sequel. He said it's a spiritual sequel. Which would mean Revelation is the writer's own take on the motu property and it exists within it's own continuity. In addition to what you've written about Evil-Lyn's origins and the absence of Seh-Ra in the show I would add that Roboto's origin in Revelation is also different from the Filmation Roboto's back story.

[@StareachValcin]

[@pacman5698]

Both Revelations and the She-Ra reboot have made me a Masters of the Universe fan. I think as it stands now, She-Ra has better characters, story, and thematic potency, but I love how Revelation at every turn is able to deliver fanservice while still making its own compelling story that also works for people who are new. I also love its art style and how committed and wonderful in execution it is to animated action. One of the things I loved about Skelegod in the show is how it captures that even with all the power of Greyskull in his hands, he's still the same Skeletor he always was. Kind of a moron...

[@jkhadem5729]

its a reboot if it was a sequel, it would take place after the new adventure of he-man.

[@jamisonfrey3452]

No offense, but you should have done more research before uploading this video. Revelation is not a direct sequel to the original show. It is a spiritual sequel, not a true sequel and It exists within it's own separate continuity. Kevin Smith himself has stated such during podcasts and in tweets. Here are a couple of his tweets confirming this. "The show's producer is Mattel- so everything we do in REVELATION is more toy- based.

Your thumbnail would also be incorrect. According to the Revelation comics, which were written by Kevin Smith, in this continuity Skeletor doesn't appear as Keldor. He belongs to a race of skull headed beings from another dimension.

[@MrXon]

Still don't see how this is a "straight sequel" to the 1980's cartoon. Other than the look of the characters, there are no other similarities. Revelation is more of a sequel to the 2002 series, similar tone, animation style, even Adam looks the same. It also shows Skeletor's origin in the first episode! 2002 is an earlier take on MOTU (Adam is only 16yrs old), and Revelation maybe takes place 5-10 years later (characters older, costumes change, etc). I read that theres a rights issue, so 2002 series can't be mentioned (nor can Filmation series), real reason why everyone looks different (look from the toys which is something Mattel owns). I liked King Grayskull in the 2002 series, but he did look too much like He-Man (actually looks like Savage He-Man) so I understood the change in Revelation.

[@jamisonfrey3452]

Kevin Smith himself has said that Revelation is not an actual sequel. He has said it is a spiritual sequel. They do not have the rights to the Filmation show nor the 200X show by Mike Young Productions. Revelation is it's own take on the motu property and it exists within it's own continuity. The reason King Grayskull looks so much like He-Man is because the King Grayskull design was originally going to be used for He-Man himself. Ultimately they settled on the look we saw in the show and toy line. They later decided to use the scrapped He-Man design for King Grayskull. I don't see any problem what so ever with them looking so much alike. They are of the same bloodline after all. The two of them looking alike wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. I'd also note that the Revelation version of Skeletor comes from a race of skull headed beings from another dimension, unlike the 200X version who was once Keldor. This was revealed in the tie-in comics to Revelation which were written by Kevin Smith himself.

[@LadyLionessAndFriends]

The only thing new about Skelegod was his name. The origin of Skelegod comes from the 1987 live action film Masters of the Universe. Revelations took pieces from every He-Man franchise except the New Adventures of He-Man and put it in thd show. When Skeletor says, "Let this be our final battle..." that line came directly verbatim from the live action film. Several of the characters were not portrayed true to character... Evil Lynn hated and dispised Skeletor and was always trying to take over. Man at Arms was too loyal to the kingdom and the planet to just go away. The king and queen were way better people than portrayed, after all, they raised the man who became He-Man. Kevin Smith claimed to be a He-Man fan, but his version was obvious to old school He-Man fans who grew up watching every day after school in the 80s that Smith wasn't a fan back in the day. In fact fans dug up old posts from Kevin Smith where he himself states he wasn't much of a He-Man fan, of course this was way before he knew he was taking on this project. While the story of Revelations is compelling, it's not true to the original series in any way.

[@williammay5300]

What about Heman"s twin sister She Ra?

[@jonahstirbis3408]

Skeletor got pwned by he-man and this series was nice to see because it created a new era and let alot of characters grow and make new stories for themselves and others.

[@ErmIDK19]

even as someone around for the original he-man show , I'd say the 2002 or 2012 i forget version of he-man is the best . certainly not Kevin smiths take on him. and no matter what character mark Hamill , apart from Luke Skywalker is voicing all i hear is the joker.

[@jamisonfrey3452]

Yep. I grew up with the original back in the 80s and motu has been my favorite franchise ever since. I love the original, but the 2002 series, animated by 'Mike Young Productions' is easily the best take on the property to date. I'd recommend that series above all others.

[@kaylaturnis9486]

[@MrXon]

Isn't this the 2nd time we see a version of Skelegod? First time would be the live action Masters of the Universe film. He doesn't call himself Skelegod exactly, but does call himself a God. And Lynngod makes no sense, I remember only those who are descendants of King Grayskull could summon the Power of Grayskull. Adam is a descendant (would explain how he doesn't need the sword to summon the Power), as is King Randor and also his half brother Keldor, aka Skeletor. Skeletor being He-Man's uncle is mentioned in the 2002 series, the Netflix CGI series, and the comics. Evil Lynn however is not related, yet she can call upon the Power, which means anyone can according to Revelation!

[@jamisonfrey3452]

In the Revelation continuity Skeletor wasn't Keldor. In the Revelation tie-in comics, written by showrunner 'Kevin Smith', this version of Skeletor belongs to a skull headed race of humanoids from another dimension.

[@MrXon]

@@jamisonfrey3452 Yeah thats also another origin, I think its the original one, way back then when He-Man came from a tribe of savages and didnt change to Prince Adam, wasn't royalty at all.

[@jamisonfrey3452]

@@MrXon Yeah, that was the pre-Filmation mini comics version of Skeletor's origin as well. My point in mentioning it though was that if only those of that bloodline were capable of tapping into the power then the Revelation version of Skeletor shouldn't have been able to do so as he is not part of the bloodline. So it seems you're right about anyone in the Revelation continuity being able to wield the power.
