The New Adventures of He-Man | Cartoon Clipshow - 118

[@RobTheWonderful]

After months of setbacks and health problems it's finally here. Hope the wait was worth it.

[@nathanblevins9870]

Hay can you do a review of the DC rwby crossover. That would be great.

[@batangbatugan]

YES IT IS! Its so good to see another video from you Rob, I hope things work favorably for you from now on. =)

[@jonathanbarr9764]

Considering the amount of effort you put into these videos they're definitely worth the wait. Going back to the toy commercial you brought up at the beginning of the video, I remember having a He-Man sword back in my childhood which I didn't know was based off of a cartoon in the early 2000s that was based off of a cartoon from the 80s.

[@animeknight8958]

Here's a request: how about doing a video about Captain Simion?

[@TomE.V.]

Hope you're feeling better Brother. I love your videos! I'm a huge he-man so this is right up my alley.

[@BugsyFoga]

The He man I know absolutely nothing about other than how goofy skeletor looks.

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Skeletor was competent in this series

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Start watching now adventures of he man is good series.😊😊😊

[@zacharymccoy7091]

So glad to have you back, Rob! I know you're passionate about completing the He Man shows and hopefully it goes swimmingly now.

[@batangbatugan]

I remember watching the pilot and I ACTUALLY thought this was animated by a Japanese studio. To be honest it should've been its own series, If the He-Man multiverse was already a thing back then this could've been it own seperate reality - He-Man in space!

[@watcherzero5256]

It was, KK C&D Asia which was DIC's Japanese outsourcing studio formed as a joint partnership with TMS Entertainment, after the studio closed in 2000 most of the staff moved to Production I.G. of Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell fame.

[@EastsideShowSCP]

Its good to see you return

[@lawsonallen7741]

I wish a He-Ro Series would get made.

[@jarekjagielski366]

This series is actually the only one I remember from being a kid - it ran in Poland in the early 90's. It is is quite nostalgic, though even then some parts annoyed me to no end. Can't wait for the 2002 review, started re-watching it to be up to date. Also, why on Earth is this channel not more well known? I've been watching since around 2012, and already then knew it has some great content. YT algorithm does weird things.

[@mythrandor2924]

I'm so glad you posted this. Ive had a bad day and really needed this. Thank You.

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

This series is infinite superior than garbage and crap so-called filmation he man.

[@tomaturtle7790]

I have never seen the show at the time, but remembered the toy commercials. Now I'm interested in watching it.

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Skeletor is competent in now adventures of he man.

[@Avenger85438]

Campbell Lane also played a damn intimidating Dr. X in the 2000's cgi Action-Man series. You might like to check that out sometime.

[@DaNobleElement]

Thank god thx bro your by far the best cartoon reviewer hands down pls keep the reviews coming ive watched cartoon clipshow over and over big fan

[@deandappersmith8137]

Interesting enough, comparing this series with Filmation's work... I keep thinking this New HeMan looks like Filmation's version of Flash Gordon, minus the red shirt, plus the sword (is this sword also property of Castle Grayskull like the original was?) looks like the Blazing Sword from vehicle Voltron. Also--why no comparison of New Skeletor with Baron Dark? They both have the physical skulls with eyeballs and hair, and are both full of same level of villainous snark. All the same, glad to see you back up and running with another well-wrought cartoon analysis, Rob.

[@Zezlemet]

Also the multiple pov story trope is called Rashamon style

[@AaronKnight-fe1vm]

That conan cartoon was so very good well done

[@RShonta]

Another good video. I don't see myself checking out New Adventures, but I'm looking forward to He-Man 2002 as it's the only one I've watched so far.

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Start watching now adventures of he man skeletor is competent in now adventures and he was able to win against he man.

[@johnnyd3158]

The most recent episode of Invincible featured a female Viltumite soldier that had a ponytail with a dagger attached that she used as a weapon as well, lol.

[@HEATXZ]

Great to see Cartoon Clipshow again :D

[@92Raider-art]

Great vid as always Rob. Glad to have you back and a welcomed gift as I'm sitting at home battling a fierce cold

[@skybite]

Another show that introduces a new concept near the end of the run and never followed up at the final episode was Beverly Hills Teen.

[@ShadowWingTronix]

Glad you're feeling better and back to the show. Doug Parker voiced Adam, while Gary Chalk voiced He-Man, which does separate their voices but feels off to me. Chalk will return as Man-At-Arms in the 2003 series. I think Mattel was trying to get rid of Prince Adam. In the toy bio and minicomic we're told he had to sacrifice his Adam identity but the show doesn't do that and I have mixed feelings on it. Interestingly he usually says "By The Power Of Eternia", possibly a reference to the toy/minicomic idea that Eternia now held Grayskull's power, which the show also avoided, but while on planet Eternia he used the one "By The Power Of Grayskull" when revealing his identity to his parents. I'll defend Scott and T-Bob on MASK and even I thought Kaz was a pest. I'm sure Optic's VA didn't mind being limited...or at least his voice box doesn't mind. I'm one of the fans who enjoys New Adventures for what it is, even if is different from the original. There's enough similarity that I can get past it but I see why others can't get into it. Peacock has the whole thing up on their free side (you do need an account but you don't have to pay for it) and it's worth at least seeing once.

[@Lynxan]

When this show was on in my area, it was put on just before I could get home from school. Had the same problem with Jace and the Wheeled Warriors before it. I thought it was fine the few times I caught it.

[@Regal99]

Most certainly it was worth the wait.

[@brianlevine871]

Even as someone that hasn't seen much of the "Master of the Universe" franchise, I'm not a fan of this show's first design of Skeletor. Although I'm glad they changed it later on, based on what was shown here. Anyways, glad to have you back Rob!

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

First filmation skeletor was worst Buffon of highest order he geats defeated in every single episode and become complet joke nobody can take him seriosly 😅😅😅

[@neogotham2k39]

It's totally worth the wait, Rob!

[@juliagoodwin9510]

So glad to see you back! Can't wait for the next review!

[@jamesmoss3424]

I remember watching The New Adventures of He-man when I was a kid it was odd that Skeletor has eyes .

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Skeletor is competent in new adventures of he man in filmation skeletor is worst and biggest moron.

[@willcusterjr2519]

and during this time, Teela became the Hero of Eternia and Duncan took over Snake Mountain and became the new leader of the bad guys

[@171QA]

I feel what made the Filmation He-Man worked was that it had a distinct style with backgrounds that popped while the New Adventures just looked pretty standard and generic for the time it was made. It didn't stand out compared to the other shows that aired during the time.

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Filmation he man is the toy that was the most pos awful cartoon ever put in tv there are no single good story in the show or good action there was nothing good just 30 commercial for toys.

[@Gloryosky]

23:13 It's also only a name reference, as even a fictional Frank Zappa in the _He-Man_ universe would likely constantly break the fourth wall like he did on _Saturday Night Live_ in 1978.

[@darkwoods1954]

I really enjoy NA as a side adventure for He-man on another planet with new friends and foes. At the time it was the feeling that this was going to be He-man FOREVER that was off putting and a shock to the system. I wouldn't have wanted the franchise changed to this forever but another corner of the MOTU universe it's really fun.

[@MalWave]

this version of Skeletor is giving me huge Rankin Bass vibes.

[@MalWave]

@@Flyboy1953 now I want a Skeletor voiced by him.

Thanks for this never got into this show loved the original

[@Silentbobx]

I remember getting that sword from my aunt as a Christmas present. Such a cool toy. Oh, so Mara is the Inspiration for Shanate I guess.

[@markmyers6756]

Great video!

[@elpizo1789]

I had a bunch of toys from this, including the main ships! Too bad I was terrible at taking care of them... Hindsight is 20/20.

[@Hewylewis]

Good to see another video from ya, man. And yeah, this was totally worth the wait. :)

[@mikekomarinski]

Optic sounds like Grandpa Boris from Rugrats.

[@matthewrohde4198]

Welcome back, Rob.

[@goranisacson2502]

Great to see you again, and I hope you're back to being in good health again! I was honestly surprised to find how little I ended up minding this show- I've really only seen clips of the first episode and the premise and art-style immediately put me off. Removing all the characters kids already owned toys off, changing Skeletor to look more goofy and He-Man (and practically the whole world) to be WAY less of that awesome mish-mash between Conan the Barbarian and Flash Gordon-sci fi and more of a ... really non-descript and blander style made it all seem SUPER-unappealing. But now that I see the ideas they're kicking around in here I think I could have actually liked this as a kid- that "Rashomon" episode feels pretty funny if they even have the heroes make fun of He-Man, Skeletor's sass remains glorious even if the mutant-girl sure is not Evil-Lyn. and I feel like I want to see the whole cast get rocking hair-metal make overs (and of all the rockers they could have made a parody of, they choose the least family-friendly OR mainstream firendly dude at all, Frank Zappa, when that guy clearly looks like an Axl Rose ripoff?) Granted, while the scripts may be improved I still feel like the loss of the old He-Man shows look is a net loss and a blemish on the new shows score card, even if they make Skeletor look less goofy as it goes along. More coherent storyline isn't enough to save it, so I don't know if it could've ever been succesful... but I will admit I judged it too harshly.

[@josephmalik3861]

good to see you back #

[@the757hustleshow7]

Great vid.....thank the gods for the pillow on the floor lol

[@SGD_ToysDownUnder]

While you're probably right that the blonde girl was intended to be She-Ra, the original design of Teela was blonde too. Classics did this design as "Battleground Teela".

[@Drixenol86]

Funny thing. Gary Chalk would eventually voice Man-At-Arms in the 2002 MOTU series.

[@BSTakaTeddy]

I Have actually Seen That Pocahontas Film 2:29

[@mikekomarinski]

14:16 Tom Kenny.

[@CartoonTriper]

I always think this version of Skeleton looked like The Mask, specially the cartoon one

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

This version of skeletor is competent.

[@GirlofCulture]

Cool.. so Mara is Shantae? 🤔

[@GirlofCulture]

There's been a reference to this show.. in the 2016's comics which are a serious reboot of both series.. She-Ra and He-Man. In this Hordak (i guess) was forgeing a new Sword of Power.. And every time he hit the Anvil... a planet exploded in the impact the sword creates.And you clearly can see these characters in this..right before the explosion, which should make clear how "they" think about this show 😆

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

First 80 filmation skeletor is joke and filmation skeletor he is complete Buffon.

[@latviandragon2718]

even the 2002 reboot had those psa

[@ShadowWingTronix]

The PSAs didn't air in the US, at least on Cartoon Network. I think they showed up internationally, which is why they're on the DVDs. They feel just as forced and the New Adventures ones and I didn't miss them on the broadcast version.

[@DaNobleElement]

7:51😂☠️👻

[@kinglord7707]

So Maurra is the inspiration behind Bianca Belair and her long ponytail whip

[@mikekomarinski]

If only Lilac had dagger ls on her pigtails.

[@Fantasy-Sci-Fi-at-Storynory]

Oddly Enough, Gary Chalk would later voice Man At Arms in the 2002 series.

[@JurassicRod]

Would Skeleteen eventually have become Skeladult and then Skeloap?

[@hiyazaki09]

the 2k2 is far better than the Master of the Universe Netflixer

[@RocKnight11]

Personally, this show is fine, but it definitely feels that it should have been its own thing rather than a sequel to the original series. I would have rather the He-Man character actually be He-Ro (his son or grandson).

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Original he man cartoon is the worst cartoon ever.

[@wilsonkierankitsune]

I like your Butt-head impression; the review would have felt incomplete without that

[@zevadprime]

Take your time. The 2002 MOTU review by you will be worth the wait. As for the volume 2 set. Couldn't you just have taken the DVDs out and just drop the empty slip/folder?

[@sofijaradakovic328]

So rob since the 2002 reboot was made by moon scoop could you review any other cartoon made by them

[@AaronKnight-fe1vm]

Poa are very important

[@claudioleuch435]

Will you review the Netflix shows too?

[@geardog24]

Honestly, the 90’s Conan series was a better sequel series than… whatever this was.

[@ajerjavec4723]

I think this show has a steppingstone to 2003 reboot at least with Adam, looking different from he man Skeletor be more of a threat

[@Rocket1377]

That wouldn't work, because the 2003 show was an origin story for Adam, Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, etc. They were all younger than they were in the Filmtion show, so the 200X cartoon was more like a prequel.

[@ajerjavec4723]

@@Rocket1377 I meant in the way they tell, the he man story think about it he, man and Adam looking different and Skeletor being a threat. If you put the 80s show this show and the 2003 reboot in a line of presentation can see a clear evolution in the storytelling.

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

​@@ajerjavec4723skeletor in now adventures of he man are also a treat and competent

[@travisboyle285]

Don't even remember this show. Wow Skeletor looked crappy on this show.

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

First off 80 filmation skeletor is a joke skeletor was able to win in this show and he was competent.

[@genericcartoonreactionchan3890]

so how is progress coming the sugar-free He-man review?... Yep... If this is Diet He-Man the 2002 is Sugar Free He-Man XD

[@HautaAntero]

Yeah, I can see why this version of He-Man is to many MOTU fans just okay, or meh. It's very strange that there is lot of good stuff, but also lot way too over the top silly, stupid or annoying stuff in this show. They kind a try to make series look little bit more better with the much more high quality animation, but still keep adventures and silly tone of original. I'm not gonna say this is the worst reboot ever, but it's not the best one either. Let's just say, it was good try to bring He-Man back, but also clumsy outcome to trying bring something new for the table. I kind a like animation and visuals, but it missing lot of things what makes original show enjoyable.

[@TVsMrNeil]

Stylistically, I really loved the look of this show.... depending on the overseas studio. It had a very anime look to it. Some of the later episodes, less so. I actually really liked the mutants and a few of the other supporting characters. Ironically, I disliked the hero characters based on the action figures the most... like the wetsuit and glider pack guy. The worst aspect of this show was that it was He-Man. I like the sci-fi stuff, but the power of the good and the way of the magic just got in the way. I think I just wanted more Robotech, and this just isn't it.

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

The 2002 He-Man series is much better

[@IvanJankukovic-tu3cg]

Both now adventures of he man and 2002 he man are infinite better than complet crap and joke like filmation 80 he man.😂😂😂
