Eternia's Prince Adam discovers the power of Grayskull and transforms into He Man, Master of the Universe. A reimagining of the classic animated series.
Watchseries; What am I watching? It's like a sci-fi Aladdin. And all of a sudden it's Evelyn instead of Evil-lyn? And Skeletor is now a dude that looks like Jafar with a metal skeleton-like hand. Whatever works for you...

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe watchseries. First things first. This is way better than Kevin Smiths revelation! I can actually see myself watching the entire season after watching the first 5 eps.
It will not appeal to everyone, it is clearly aimed at a younger audience with it's animation style and its characterisations, but the dialog is wonderful and the animation fluid and dynamic.
I found myself liking the characters quite quickly which is something Kevin Smith never managed. Some of the the female characters are a tiny bit over-macho as if the things we would call a boy dumb or possibly suicidal for make a girl appear strong, but don't get me wrong, compared to a lot of what we have been getting lately this is surprisingly balanced. I never felt like I was being beaten over the head with a woke bible at any point.
The aesthetic grew on me, a bit like clone wars 3d did and the vehicle designs are pretty cool. Some good toys coming for Christmas no doubt.
My biggest annoyance was that cringer constantly forgets he has teeth, you will see what I mean.
Overall once I got over the initial shock of just how different it was to the established He-Man universe It managed to put a smile on my face.
Thumbs up from me.

How the animation in 2021 is so much worse than the one from the 80's ?
The story also lacks a lot too .

The animation is excellent given the limited budgets kids shows get today.
The writing is fun and punchy - with both heroes and villains giving zingers.
There's no forced agenda and the trailers matched the show; there was no bait-and-switch or blatant lies by the creators in order to trick anyone into watching.
Multiple 1-star reviews have explicitly called out this show for 'not being Revelations'.
It was never trying to be, and IMDB really ought to delete reviews from shills who want to trash this show in order to make their own look better.

Despite all the changes to the original He-Man this is not as bad as the awful "Revelation". This is a complete new version of MOTU and even as someone who grew up with classic He-Man I can accept that.
It was fun to watch and I don't mind the changes they made to the story, but I don't like what they did to the look of the characters. If they would actually resemble the classic MOTU characters I would like this show a lot, but I don't like the new look at all. Only He-Man, Skeletor and Battle-Cut have resemblance to what we know and loved.
Maybe todays kids like this - I don't know. We'll see how much toys they sell with this.
But unlike "Revelation" this is less of an insult to old fans, because it is willingly directed to a new audience.
That being said: Fun watchable kids show, with hardly any resemblance to the classic He-Man characters.
Unfortunately the title song is weak and not very catchy.

The names are the same. There's a sword and a cat. Animation is overly processed. The tone is more sitcom than action/adventure. Granted, I expected some updates after 35+ years, but there's barely anything left here. The Transformers: Siege series was updated and Prime is a whiny emo kid, but it's a faithful representation. This... not so much. Pass.
