You know, when looking back at their childhood everyone uses Rose coloured glasses. Those of us who think of He-Man think of the epic adventure and battles we watched as kids. Then we go back and watch them today. And like X-E's Matt we noticed they make no fucking sense. The good news is that this is not He-Man as it was, it is He-Man how you remember it.

Skeletor's voice=perfect. It sounds a lot like his old one but a bit more sinister. A lot fo the voice cast will be familiar to cartoon nerds and I think you'll have fun for yourself trying to find Leonardo and Optimus Primal yourself so I won't spoil that.

Cringers meows seem to have pissed off a good portion of the internet but I though they were hilarioua and a lot better than his old whining speech. Orko is still Orko, perhaps the most unchanged of all characters because Prince Adam looks scrawny, He-Man looks MORE buff, and both Man at Arms AND the bad guys get offense rather than being completely useless. Ram Man fans, sorry but he's barely here. Stinkor fans, cross your fingers.

Merman's belt buckle that turns into a sword=$$$$$. I think he and Skeletor benefitted most from the redesigns.

Man-E-Faces or whatever his name is, the fact that his weapons and physical attributes change along with his face is just COOL.

Let's hope this goes at least 100 episodes.

War.
