Felt quite nostalgic as I am 80's and 90's kid. It's definitely one notch up and you will feel that uppercut. Lot more moments of "yessss"" rather than "naahhhh". Very well paced!.
It was so much of fun to see RAM Man back in action, Teela doing her sorcery thingy and Evil-Lyn playing "Good-Lyn". It just feels like a good modern tech upgrade but still carrying that old vibe.
Skeletech, damn!! He is good...this so definitely better then recent reboot's that were released on Netflix, way way better then those. Very well written and presented with decent background score. Totally loved it and lived it. Just 5 episodes with rock and roll.

The first half of Revelation was simply horrible, but then came the second half and it was better.
Revolution, however is great!
This is what happens when the fan voice their dislike of something, and when those in charge listen to the fans. It hits all the right spots, the characters are acting as they should, they are recognizable, the Easter eggs are all over the place, which is a good thing, and the lore is there, those who have been following MOTU trough the ages will recognize all the proper implementations of the various alterations of the story. There is a bit of everything and it is well connected in to a coherent story recognizable for MOTU.
I hope there will be more and if they continue as they do we will have a great new MOTU show.

I liked last years Revelation, now was it perfect, in no way, but entertaining. I watched Revolution and I say was a little better, cause it goes more into humanity of the characters. Feeling like a mixture of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
The animation is still good, and the voice acting is also great, William Shatner, Mark Hamil, and Keith David to name a few. There is an homage to the 1987 film Masters of the Universe. I also like the way it shows that He Man may be like the Superman, but also shows he needs a team to back him up. I also like surprises you won't see coming. It ends with you wanting more.

Though much derided in some quarters, I quite liked Kevin Smith's MOTU: Revelation. This follow up series was, he later revealed, guided by the Netflix algorithm to be five episodes instead of 12 and honestly, I think the algorithm was spot on, as this is a much leaner and better paced run.
With Skeletor (Mark Hamill) haven fallen under the thrall of Hordak (Keith David) and Motherboard (Meg Foster) he attacks Eternia again, with his new technological powers. Though he's repelled by He-Man (Chris Wood), the assault brings about the death of King Randor (Diedrich Bader). Prince Adam then has to decide whether to take the throne or continue as his protector alter ego. Before he can decide though, Randor's estranged brother Keldor (William Shatner) returns and offers an alternative.
Never any issues with the look of this version of "Masters of the Universe" and again this looks tremendous. The vocal performances from the returning cast are good and the addition of William Shatner, Keith David and John De Lancie only improves things. There's a little less humour this time, not none, but a little less certainly 'knowing' humour. The best performance probably comes from Lena Heady, whose Evil-Lyn returns and continues to be one of the few characters on a genuine arc.
As with the second half of "Revelations" the story is focused and tight and is all the better for it. There are very few diversions, with even the potential "fetch quest" aspect of the Sorcerous' story being completed in just a couple of episodes. I hope that the viewing figures reflect the improvements that have gone into this run, as I'd certainly like to see more.

I can't believe how good this was. I'm so hyped for the next part. Keep it up with this kind of story telling. It doesn't compare at all with Revelation. The animation was just beautiful and smooth. U need to give the animation team a round of applause and a raise. I mean everything was such an awesome spectacle
Revolution also fixed a lot of the complaints the fans had in a nice way.
The design of the corrupted skeletor, Hordack, he man teela....so cool.
The word Cool describes this part perfect Yeah I highly recommend the fans that were disappointed with revelation to give this a shot. U u don't like this then I don't know what more u would want.

Well written by Mr Smith and extremely entertaining to watch, just like its predecessor.
I did feel it was let down by the loss of Sarah Michelle Gellar, her voice was much more fitting to the character compared to Mellisa Benoist.
It was great to see some old favourites from the comics, and movie and the addition of the great William Shatner never fails to add entertainment.
One of the previous incarnations of the He-Man story gives away this story so if people have seen that then they will fully understand what will take place but that does not take away the enjoyment and enthusiasm of the shows brought By Kevin Smith. He does a magnificent job with these and I as a fan hope he continues to make them.

I enjoyed parts 1 & 2 of Revelation. That said, I really enjoyed Revolution. I was a bit disappointed Revolution wasn't given like 7 episodes but, they crammed a great story into what felt like a mini movie. Another downside, many supporting characters weren't given time to shine. I've seen a lot of fans take issue with certain things, mostly because they go into this thinking they're getting Filmation 2. That company no longer exists and it's foolish to expect more of that. One thing I really liked, the core characters have matured and the fans aren't insulted by these characters remaining like it's still1980-something. This is very much a more mature take on He-Man, the cheesiness is gone and there's an actual story vs the bad guys are sent back to Snake Mountain vowing revenge. The stories aren't resolved in a half hour and the side of good has actual work to do to win the day. The two end credit scenes are very interesting, the first, you wonder how that'll play out. The second, if you know the stories beyond TV, you know what a season 3 & 4 might bring.

I don't review often. I saw the previous series done by Kevin Smith get bashed and was disappointed at how many people hated something great. This sequel series did a fantastic job, just like the first, of melding the classic with the new. I wholeheartedly enjoyed this. From the cheesy one-liners to the new exciting conflicts and realizations of classic characters. The only gripe I have is the amount of episodes. I wish I had more. I saw tons of hate online already, and it's one of the only recent shows in memory that I sat down and binged because it was entertaining as hell. That's what it truly boils down to: is this entertaining? I think the way Kevin Smith approached a modern He-Man just does that. So please don't listen to those people saying he ruined it. I never once thought he did while watching this show. I just had fun, which these losers can't seem to do anymore.

Fantastic season. The first season Revelation was great as well. I only hope we get more in the series to finish up the story. This has been a great ride so far. Ive enjoyed the writing stories characters animation music score voice acting you name it. Very pleased. AND from day one I started collecting all the figures again. Something ive not had or done since the 80s. Please give us more to the story. Fantastic season. The first season Revelation was great as well.

This was fantastic. I was a huge fan of "Revelation" and "Revolution" just kicked it up a major notch. I said it before in my "Revelation" review, and it carries over to the "Revolution" chapter: the writers of this show did their homework, across all forms of the Masters of the Universe properties, and managed to pay homage and put nods to almost all of it. So much of what happened in "Revelation" paved the way for the events that happen in "Revolution". I really enjoyed watching all of this up to this point, and am very much looking forward to the next chapter.
If Masters of the Universe was a big part of your childhood, you will likely love this.

I thought the first attempt from Kevin Smith was pretty terrible, but I tried to give this one a chance and hoped he had learned from mistakes from the revelations, but the writing is just as horrible as the first time. Sure we get more he-man, but the writing and dialogue are absolutely terrible. I see a lot of these reviews saying the show is "redeemed" and are giving 8/10 and 10/10, I have to assume these reviews are either bots are people held at gunpoint. Is it better than the first attempt? Sure. But not by much, most of the characters spend their time expositioning so hard it sounds like they are reading from the Wikipedia of the show. The animation is amazing, but it's too bad they couldn't get better writing, characters spend most of their dialogue explaining the story to the Audience in a very unnatural way. If this is supposed to be the "grown up" version of this show than why does the plot feel like it's written for 4 year olds?

This show covered all the nostalgia from all masters of the universe's worlds and spun it all into a really fun, entertaining, intense story! There's so many easter eggs packed into this JAM!! Kevin Smith got all the bases covered in this show, the art, the voices, the story line. I can not imagine how any fan growing up watching MOTU couldn't get pumped, nostalgic, and be able to appreciate the attentive detail Kevin Smith and his team spent putting the time into all these episodes. It made the Revelation series so much better and I can't wait to watch all of it from the start!!Good job Mr. Smith! Made my day!!

I watched the first episode of Revelation, switched off in disgust and vowed never to return.
I saw plenty of reviews which confirmed I made the right choice.
This is an entirely different show.
While it does pick up from season 1, there is an almost complete absence of the misandry and virtue signalling that defined Revelation.
The result is a show that feels exactly like what fans wanted to see the first time round.
Beautiful animation, cool story turns and heroic men and women working together without resentment.
I binged all 5 episodes and had a great time despite the odd technology driven storyline.
This is an action-packed show about good and evil, heroism and friends banding together to fight tyranny.
Just like it always should have been.
They pulled a Picard season 3 here and we all need more of that IMHO.

This is even worse than the first show...well somewhere there. I can't believe one man can make sooo many mistakes and miss the MOTU story completely! So disappointed, such a waste of time, money and opportunity! There is so much things, in almost every scene. The whole time I watched it, I had the feeling that I'm watching something else, some other space story and not Masters of The Universe. Don't have any desire for Kevin Smith's story of Masters of the Universe to be continued because it goes from bad to worse, maybe he is good in some other things, but MOTU is not one of them and never will be!
NO need to watch it folks!
