#cgi skeletor

[victorckk]

This has been sitting in my drafts for half a year oops-

Anyway, here’s Raemura’s CGI He-Man design!

Her Revelation/Revolution variation will be posted whenever I get to making a new ref for it.

Also, gonna add links to each variation in these info posts of her. Her SPOP variation is here!

In all MOTU variations (excluding the SPOP reboot), her name is Raemura.

Her backstory is practically the same / similar in the CGI / Revelation / Revolution series, except for some details.

Spoilers ahead for those who haven’t seen/finished the series yet!

—————————————————————

• Pre Series

Raemura was created by Hordak as a clone, mixing some of his DNA with that of a human (possibly various other species), and a strange essence that he wasn’t entirely familiar with, which turned out to be Havoc. He sat her in a pod with a tracking device, and sent it away. Her pod landed on Eternia and was found by a young Keldor, who ended up taking her back to Eternos.

For as long as Raemura can remember, she has spent her entire life studying, training, and working to become a royal guard, and eventually the heir to the throne of Eternos, as she was the only royal child at the time before Adam’s birth.

Raemura always picked on Adam, teasing him and making fun of him for being small and weak, horrible mannerisms she picked up from Keldor, unfortunately. She also did so out of jealousy, as she believed it wasn’t fair for her to lose her supposed right to the throne, not really knowing exactly how royalty worked.

The teasing went on for a few years, up until Adam eventually vanished, along with Keldor.

At the time, she didn’t exactly get along with King Randor, so she ended up running away from the palace and came across Evelyn and Kronis. Despite them all not being too familiar with each other, the two took Raemura in regardless, as they knew Keldor would most definitely have their heads if anything happened to her.

• Season 1

Raemura spent most of her teenage and a couple of her adult years with Evelyn and Kronis, even if they were hesitant -and disappointed- about taking her in. She held a grudge against Keldor after his disappearance, as she had assumed that he abandoned her.

After being reunited, Raemura tried to avoid Keldor and the other two. She refused to look at or speak to her father, even after his transformation into Skeletor.

Skeletor had eventually persuaded Raemura to join him on a mission, which turned out to be and excuse for family bonding, so the two could catch up on the past decade.

However, it doesn’t go as planned and Raemura finds out she’s not Keldor’s biological daughter, and that he had took her in when she was still very young. This results in him also telling Raemura that it’s one of the reasons why he and Randor used to fight constantly.

All of this new information causes their relationship to become much more strained than before, and Raemura starts to push Keldor away.

• Season 2

Raemura spends a lot of her time trying to figure out who she is, who she wants to be, and what her purpose is in the fight between her father and the Masters of the Universe. She has a hard time accepting that she even has a part in it at all, as she never once appears on the Castle Grayskull tapestry.

Unaware to Raemura, there’s a deeper reason for this; her crash landing on Eternia wasn’t prophesied by Castle Grayskull, and the Castle is still trying to calculate how she plays a role in the battle.

But Raemura soon starts to slowly turn against her father, regardless. The two start to bicker and argue more often, and Raemura even tries to attack him. Eventually, she runs away and isn’t around during her father’s first defeat.

• Season 3

Raemura spends a long time traveling on her own, attempting to run away from her problems. However, it’s of no use, as Skeletor’s ghost tends to follow her around occasionally due to her body partially being created from Havoc.

She starts to slowly become more aggressive and vulnerable, and the Havoc starts to consume her entirely.

Raemura starts to blame herself for her failure to become the heir to the royal throne, become a captain of the royal guards, along with being the reason her assumed biological family didn’t want her, despite Skeletor’s constant attempts to reassure her that she’s wrong.

He tries to show he still cares about her, but Raemura refuses to see it and continues to push him and everybody else away, fully accepting the Havoc within her.

While Keldor is defeated once more and arrested, Raemura finally discovers her true purpose in the prophecy of the Masters of the Universe, where she came from, and what she’s finally meant to do.

While coming across a tattered and burnt tapestry, it reveals that she finally has a part in the battle, with the Masters of the Universe, Keldor, and the Horde fighting against her.

With that, she pledges to create her own army from the Havoc flowing through her veins, and swears revenge on everybody who has ever wronged her. Starting with Hordak himself.

TRIVIA

When Skeletor shares the Power of Havoc with the group, the Havoc already within her body (on top of the shared Havoc) is highly affected by Raemura’s bottled up emotions, bringing out her worst qualities. Her appearance is supposed to appear as a mash up of Skeletor and Hordak, meant to symbolize the fact that while Keldor is the closest to family that she’s ever known, Hordak is still a part of her and he will never lose his hold on her for his plans.

Raemura was 13-15 when Keldor took Adam to Castle Grayskull, resulting in Raemura being 23-25 during the show’s events.

She never understood why Keldor and Randor didn’t get along, nor why Keldor rarely allowed her to see her uncle. She only found out later on that part of it was due to Randor’s belief that Raemura had no business living in the palace, because of the sole fact that she was adopted.

Raemura has a crush on a Captain of the guards but is too shy and awkward to speak to her.

Raemura actually gets along better with Kronis and views him as yet another father figure. She’s collecting dads like Pokémon, she has 4 now please make it stop-

trying to reengage with source material MoTU so I don't get too Prima Materia brained and 1) i miss Spinal Tap 2) My Skeletor special interest is still real as hell right now

[madamegemknight]

Okay I'm gonna finally. Ask about the MOTU playlist. Which is what I intended to do before all those other asks hit me like a train. Curious in particular about the inclusion of

GHOST - Honey I'm Home

sodikken - people eater

Brian David Gilbert - i wish that i could wear hats

(cracks knuckles) OH BOY HERE WE GO -

HONEY I'M HOME

Honey I'm Home revolves heavily around two ideas - religion and parenthood - both of which tie in very heavily to Teela and her storyline in CGI. Teela has numerous parental figures; Man-E-Faces, who adopted her and who she ran away from as a young child, Evelyn/Evil-Lyn, who took her in as an apprentice, and Eldress, who was explicitly described as being like family to Teela (despite them having like two conversations at that point :P).

The "father" is Man-E - distrusting the World Above (and, as we learn in Season 3, following Eldress' orders), he tried to keep Teela in the Lower Wards, where she stayed until she "landed a gig" with Evelyn.

The "moth" is then Evelyn, who is symbolically 'tied up' due to being just as much of a victim as Teela is, albeit from the opposite direction due to their role as Nemeses. Evelyn takes Teela in as part of a plan to use her, yes, but as the end of Season 3 and the few tie-in materials that discuss the Season 4 plans reveal, she's being used just as much when it comes to the battle between the Power of Grayskull and the Coming of Horokoth as Hordak's possible child. She's also tied up in the sense that she is irreversibly "tied" to Teela as her Nemesis.

This leaves Eldress as the "God", the figure who controls the entire thing from behind the scenes. At first glance, this might not seem like an appropriate role for Eldress to slot into - despite her numerous wrongdoings, she spends her time alive as a guardian serving under King Grayskull, and her time as a ghost as...well, a ghost, unable to do anything except watch from the castle. However, when looking at two of the tie-in books (specifically I, Skeletor and Into The Void), the reasoning for her being the "God" is clear: Eldress is canonically responsible for the entirety of the series happening in the first place. I, Skeletor establishes that Keldor was supposed to be the heir of Miro that took the throne (chosen to be by RANDOR, no less), only for Eldress to burst in, transfer the throne to Randor, and then refuse to explain why she chose to do so. Her line about how she "cannot see the threat" is a lie as well - Into The Void establishes that she was fully aware that Horokoth (and by extension, Hordak) were coming, and it's the reason she chose to come to Eternia in the first place. While she isn't a puppet-master by any means, her actions were carefully planned in order to make sure Adam was in a position to gain the Power of Grayskull, and in doing so caused the entire series to occur in the first place. And while I, Skeletor is told by Skeletor, who is naturally an unreliable narrator, the end of the book has Teela establish that for the most part, he was telling the truth about this specific moment.

The "there's so many things that you'll never understand" line is referring to how Eldress never explains any of this - she leaves everyone, but ESPECIALLY Teela, in the dark about critical aspects of not only her grand plan, but of their lives in general. In every other continuity where Sorceress hides her relationship to Teela, this makes sense as Sorceress can't tell Teela about their relationship without dooming Teela to her fate far earlier than she's prepared to deal with it - but here, it's so she can make sure Teela will "never go astray," as Into The Void establishes (via Teela meeting an alternate universe Eldress that's a bit more open about her past) that if Teela did know what Eldress had done, she would hate her.

The repetition of "Three voices" in the chorus, whether it be "from the gramophone" or "all alone" refers to how despite what the show tries to claim, the fusion of Teela and Eldress into Teela Na is incomplete and illogical - it's not Teela Na who we follow for the rest of Season 3, it's Teela (with Eldress' memories in her head) occasionally switching into Teela Na mode in extreme emergencies. Three voices, not one, despite the show's best attempts to present it as otherwise.

The "God devoured that of Father" line is one I don't take literally, but still fits in with the idea of Eldress enacting total control over everything, especially Teela. As I mentioned prior, she is the one who instructs Man-E-Faces to not only tell Teela nothing of her past, but to call her Teela in the first place, establishing a sense of control and regulating her destiny through Man-E. Eldress symbolically "devours" Man-E's role as foster parent by ensuring her regulations are still enforced through him.

Finally, there are the lines "A vivisection of me/Done by God, for all to see." This is representative of the moment where Eldress and Teela "merge" - despite the show's attempt to have this come across as a positive thing, playing inspiring music and ending on Teela triumphantly talking about how Eldress ~isn't really gone,~ at the end of the day Teela has still been ripped open and had an entirely new person shoved into her mind and body, said person talking the entire time about how Teela has never been any of the identities she chose for herself. Notably, vivisection refers specifically to the act of viewing the internal structures of a living being, and by fusing with Teela, Eldress becomes part of that internal structure.

tl;dr: Teela has religious trauma AND parental trauma, and they are the same person. and also 'her'. and this is treated as a good thing.

PEOPLE EATER

people eater is an interesting one - there are a few songs on the Teela side of the fanmix that are from Eldress' perspective, not Teela's. The goal of them was to come across as jarring compared to the others as a reflection on how even though the show presents Teela and Eldress as one unified being now, they're incredibly fractured and are in fact two completely separate people with two completely different sets of memories and opinions. people eater, along with Louise and Eat Your Heart, are about how Eldress ultimately views Teela as a means to an end and not as the family unit Teela perceives the two of them as.

Teela sacrifices so much for Eldress, to the point where she gets her memory wiped in Lost in The Void for figuring out too much in her attempts to save her. Despite that, Eldress never gives up anything for Teela - any moments of "reassuring" her, like encouraging her to tap into the powers of Sorceress, are ultimately just further steps on the path to making sure her perfect plan succeeds. Eldress will never take care of Teela's needs, no matter how much Teela takes care of Eldress'. Ultimately, this stems from the fact that their relationship is inherently an unequal one; Eldress can talk as much as she wants about the two of them being two halves of the same coin, or more than who they are combined, but at the end of the day Eldress needs Teela to be alive again, and Teela doesn't. It is impossible for Eldress to give up Teela, because without Teela Eldress looses her chances of living again.

And so Eldress lies. She lies about how Teela will be able to decide her own future and won't end up like Eldress. She lies about the extent of her involvement with the events that have permanently reshaped Adam's life and resulted in him having amnesia. She 'lies' to Ork-0 about the original Orko the Great lacking true heart (arguably this is true, considering Orko the Great worked with King Grayskull and was thus involved in the colonization of Leviathae, but in-universe it's revealed to be untrue so I'm counting it here). And what's notable is how whenever she lies, she isolates whoever she's lying to from the others, keeping them alone with her.

And ultimately, this ends with Eldress using Teela for a second chance to live, without her consent or even explaining what she plans on doing. The first time Teela is informed about this connection with Eldress is the same time that she is merged with her, seemingly permanently though given the cancellation of the show we'll never know for sure.

I WISH THAT I COULD WEAR HATS

i wish that i could wear hats is tied very critically to two aspects of Ork-0 that I find incredibly interesting, but that the show never addresses.

First, he never gets a costume change. When he goes from RK Unit 1983 to Ork-0, he dresses up in an outfit similar to what the actual Orko wore...and then never changes it. The kids have their Master forms, Cringer has his prosthetic claws, Adam has his formal outfit once he rejoins the royal family, Krass has her Dark Master form...and Ork-0 never changes out of the outfit mimicking Orko the Great's, even when he starts working to define himself outside of the Trollan's influence. It gets to the point where the rest of the RK Hivemind start wearing palette swapped versions of the exact same outfit - this is not Ork-0's costume, this is somebody else's costume, and it's obvious to everyone involved.

Second, he doesn't realize he's a robot until discovering that all the Trollans have left Eternia despite knowing that he's changed. He knows he's been out for a long time, he knows his body is different, and his bodily autonomy is stripped away from him by Kronis via Maker Override, something he remembers happening after the fact because it makes him even more insistent that he's a real magician. Combine this with the fact that the RK Hivemind instinctively do things like try to eat, and it becomes clear that Ork-0 has a massive disconnect between his actual body and how he perceives himself.

Even actually meeting Orko does nothing to help, because it just makes it clearer how the outfit Ork-0 wears is a crude imitation of Orko's. Furthermore, while Orko manages to resolve his issues in the exact same episode he debuts, disappearing from the plot forever after that, Ork-0 ends up regressing even further, going from "robot with Orko's memories who is learning to be his own person" to "robot copy of Orko who just had to learn to believe in himself 🙃"

The real tragedy of Ork-0 is that the show refuses to have him acknowledge anything about his robotic aspects and the clear trauma and body dysmorphia they cause him to go through, while increasing his ties to a figure that on a literal design level he is only meant to be an imitation of. Despite being created as an original character, he's reduced to nothing but "orko but robot" until the creator of the show himself seems to think that's all he is. His imitation costume has become his sole sense of identity.

Snow Cone King: I’m just saying, Ics, that if we have to petition Walmart, we should at least do it with a lot of people.

Flutetastic: ...Almost everyone on this server and probably half of tumblr and a corner of twitter and a few people from school and my entire family

Considering my family includes you and all the cousins on your half too, that’s a lot of people.

Snow Cone King: Amb. Ics, ics you know what this means?

Speedster: Y’all, I think we should just use the online petition thingy. Get millions of email subscribers from all over the world.

Snow Cone King: My dad probably would totally sign a petition to get Inspector Gadget merch back in stores and then actually make it happen

Flutetastic: It’s sm fun to see you have one of those My Dad Is A Millionaire epiphanies.

Flutetastic: Als, why do you save your logic for the middle of our discussions?

Snow Cone King: Mood

Snow Cone King: As of dec 18, 2019, Netflix wants to do a CGI reboot

Useless Ace: Oh thank goodness. My biggest beef with the She-ra reboot was the lost potential for Adam/Adora shenanigans.

Snow Cone King: Have you watched it?

 Useless Ace: See above

Snow Cone King: :facepalm:

Actually I can’t judge, it’s still collecting dust on my to-watch list

Whatever

So the heart/miraculous of Modification got corrupted by somebody, so far no one knows if they’re a strong sorcerer or a lucky human, but it happened and is messing with all change mages.

Snow Cone King: And he uses the extra power to possess civilians and turn them into rampaging monsters who are supposed to hold the city hostage for the hearts of Destruction and Restoration

Coracle-Miracle: which are, btw, also the hearts of purity and chaos

Snow Cone King: How does that work?

Coracle-Miracle: Those two hearts are the strongest and have multiple tie-in clauses, like luck, but that translates to really dangerous and often selfish sorcerers so instead they split into sections within theirs. It’s really interesting actually! Jaclynn O’Conner wrote a really cool book on it, I suggest you read that.

Pigtails ftw: That sounds demonic

Flutetastic: It nearly is

[milfbrainrot]

i just realized i'm extremely behind on the cgi motu show but !!! motur comes back soon !!!! i don't know how i'm gonna feel about it without lyn (at all? or maybe she'll make a cameo pwease ;-; ) but who am i to ignore skeletor probably becoming a giant robot lady's sugar baby.

[skeletap]

i do 'voice warmups' sometimes before writing conversation-heavy stuff which mainly involves me listening to Skeletor and Spinal Tap's voice claims (as you all know being: CGI skeletor and ds9's garak, respectively) and god sometimes I'm taken aback being grounded to Skeletor's voice being super raspy and then Spinal Tap just sounds like, well.

[clarenecessities]

well, they don't own those characters 100%. they (Dreamworks) own the concepts developed by Larry DiTillio & J Michael Straczynski & Robert Lamb, during the worldbuilding stage, so theoretically Adora could turn up in Revolution with a gf named Catra, but if she were a catgirl, then we'd be in trouble, bc that wouldn't be true to Mattel's original "this woman puts on a magic mask and turns into a (were)cat", it would be riffing on the DW Catra. They have joint rights to pretty much everyone who had a toy in the original line, so no like... Scorpia, or Shadow Weaver, or Imp, but most of the princesses are fair game. The Horde was technically a MOTU property (I think it was Dave Capper who put it together, though I'd need to check) so they were totally within their rights to use Hordak in the MYP show, and they could have used She-Ra if they'd rewritten her backstory enough, as I believe the CGI show was intending to do.

actually now that I think about it, it's interesting we have the blue-toned Hordak developed by Filmation whereas all subsequent He-Man properties have made him gray like the toy. I guess the CGI one has some blue tinging, but in all the scenes he was in the lighting made him red- and purple-tinged..

god, cgi hordak looked cool.

also the original franchise failed bc Mattel was overstocking their third rate characters instead of like, He-Man and Skeletor, and Filmation had reached market saturation, iirc? because of the way syndication worked, selling more episodes would have cost them money, production costs outstripping what broadcasting companies would be willing to pay for. same thing that killed the MYP revival imo, just in the other direction.

The She-Ra and He-Man Rights Situation

So today I figured it’d be a nice moment to explain the whole legal rights issues regarding He-Man and She-Ra because I still see a bit of confusion about that from time to time so here’s the whole thing as simply as I can put it. Sooo back in the 80s, Mattel made He-Man in partnership with Filmation and it was a big success. Two years later, they introduced She-Ra, but She-Ra was more heavily co-developed with Filmation and for this reason, a lot of the She-Ra characters and concepts were owned by them Marvel had a similar deal with Hasbro when they made transformers, but the difference was, everything Marvel made was owned by Hasbro themselves. Filmation… seemingly didn’t have that with Mattel.

And that’s where the trouble started. See, because of various factors (the she-ra toys being sold separately from the He-Man toys and the box office failure of the live action he-man movie) the franchise kinda died and at the same time, Filmation went out of business. There was an attempt to bring back He-Man a few years later, in the form of the 90s new adventures of he-man show, but that failed. (This is where Mara came from btw). And He-Man was basically dead for pretty much the rest of the decade.1 Now we come to the 2002 He-Man cartoon, which was a big hit. As some of you may now, the 2002 he-man was supposed to introduce its own new version of Hordak and She-Ra, but it was unfortunately cancelled after its second season (still great show, def recommend to spop fans)

However, Mattel only directly owns the rights to Horak, most of his henchgoons from the 80s cartoon and She-Ra herself, because they were developed together. It was filmation who were responsible for Catra, Glimmer, Shadow Weaver etc. The Filmation back catalogue was bounced around from company to company for many years and no one really cared about it, because the other two attempts to revive He-Man had failed and no one would really care about the other stuff.

UNTIL DREAMWORKS SOMEHOW BOUGHT THOSE RIGHTS AND DECIDED TO REBOOT SHE-RA 

Yes, the spop we all know and love came of this and I think most of us know how that went. But that’s where the problem stands right now. Dreamworks could use Adora and hordak no problem… but nothing He-Man related, which is why they had to be really vague about that stuff with SPOP. Mattel also might have sabotaged the Spop toys because they didn’t wanna share money. All of this is a bit awkward, because the two main new versions of He-Man now were created directly because SPOP had been the first big hit this franchise had in years. Basically, if the version of Hordak who shows up in season 2 of He-Man revelations looks exactly like his SPOP self and has the same voice, that’s allowed. Same goes for Adora…. but if Adora is said to have a gf named Catra, that’s when the lawyers get involved.

Tl:dr this is all because someone in 1985 forgot to put the small print in.

The title is taken from the first thing Red says to Cotterpin after she realizes she can never be a Fraggle, which lives in my head rent free augh...they are fwiendssssssss...

A Class B Transformation: original fiction about an aromantic person in a fantasy world being cursed by a spell that requires True Love to reverse. Whuh oh gamers!!!! Technically this is completed, but it's going through some major revisions so in the WIP folder it stays for now :P

when you are real: an incredibly self-indulgent Stampy's Lovely World fic about Hit The Target's death and the shift the series took after that moment, going from a straightforward let's play to a let's play/roleplay hybrid with fantastical events. when you are real asks "what if that shift was an actual physical transformation the Lovely World went through between Unexpected Drama and Revelation?" and "what does it mean for something artificial to become Real?" and "what does it even mean to be Real anyways?" and "how do you cope with the realization that what you thought was your friend's weird bit was something he genuinely believed in and that by engaging with it you might have actually killed him?" and "what if the universe really, really wanted you to read a public domain book ?" The title is taken from a line in The Velveteen Rabbit my best friend The Velveteen Rabbit <3

(to the tune of muppet babies) puppet changelinggggg he'll make your dreams come trueeeeeeeee: Currently very barebones, but it essentially boils down to "changeling story, except the changeling is a puppet and the only one who can tell that it's a puppet (and see the puppeteer) is the mother."

Wizard Buddies (or surviving in an 80s fantasy realm for fun and profit): A Kirby/MOTU crossover fic where the Season of Storms strikes again, dragging yet another face-hiding floating wizard who gets easily possessed into Eternia...except this time the wizard in question is Magolor, who has no idea how to get back to Dreamland, and whose friends have no idea where he's gone to. I haven't worked on it for a while because originally the plan was for the fic to end with a big dramatic group battle where Skeletor would get possessed by the remains of the Master Crown and He-Man and Kirby would have to take him down together using a Power Sword Copy Ability, but. uh (looks at magolor epilogue) I don't think that would work anymore actually. So it's on the backburner until I can think of another way to end it!!! Also it is called Wizard Buddies because Magolor and Orko are friends in it :3

A Light In The Code: Original story that asks the question "what if The Velveteen Rabbit was about video games" - it's about the ever-changing nature of online worlds, the decline of spaces for kids on the net, and what happens when you come face to face with a character you modeled after yourself only to realize they're no longer you. Also I put like 50 million muppet references in it and half of the WIP so far is fake fanwiki articles for a fake kids mmo :P

there was only one of you (until you split the world in two) - CGI MOTU fix-it fic tee hee :3 Ork-0 realizes what Eldress' plan is thanks to his memory cog (which the writers kept on forgetting about. sigh.) and runs away from the castle with Teela in S1, with the rest of the Masters on their trail after being convinced by Eldress they're in danger. The title is taken from the Undertale fansong "Dr. Gaster," and here's a snippet:

“The Heir,” she whispers back to him. “The other half of my whole, Orko.”

“Ork-0,” he snaps back. “I’m Ork-0, you know this -”

“Orko,” Eldress repeats as if she hasn’t heard him, “do you not understand what has happened?”

“No, I don’t, because you won’t tell me  -”

“She is me, reborn,” Eldress says to him in a tone he can only describe as a sick mockery of a mother’s affection. “My reincarnation, my other half, more than I could ever be.”

She turns to look at him, a grin plastered upon her face that Ork-0’s memory cog screams is the same one she had worn the day they marched upon Leviathae. “She is Teela Na.”

Nia, Eli, and something insert title here: NIA AND ELI MY SPECIAL BABIESSSSS THEY ARE COMING BACK <333 I have had these dinguses since freshman year of high school, where they were originally ocs for a fanfic I had cooking up, but the fanfic never solidified (and tbh was not the greatest anyways...) so ever since then I have been trying to find an original story for them. I might have found one for them as a spin-off of the events of the aforementioned A Light In The Code????? Not saying anything other than that because I don't want to jinx it but CROSSING MY FINGERS...

OH BOY I ACTUALLY HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS ON THIS

Okay so in my EU, Adora's powers post-canon grow to the point where she basically empowers Catra, Bow, Glimmer and the other princesses to have their own She-Ra forms. Basically carrying on the theme of the show that Adora doesn't have to burden herself alone with protecting Etheria. (CGI He-Man did the same thing). She's drawing her power from Etheria's magic and that of Castle Grayskull on Eternia now because Etheria and Eternia were both once the same ancient source of magic.

Adora's She-Ra powers will evolve to the point she's a full on realilty wraping goddess, but that's not gonna be for a super, super long time yet.

She-Ra herself though... is actually a First One. The First Ones were these ancient magic alien beings from the dawn of time itself and She-Ra was one who had decided to live on Etheria in hiding, but after the planet was attacked by a great evil, she merged with one of its inhabitants who would then pass on She-Ra's power to in the form of a sword, but this method of passing on She-Ra's power to whoever would be the next She-Ra was lost over the centuries. The Eternians (who in my EU are led by Keldor aka Skeletor) basically co-opted She-Ras power for their own ends, making their own facsimile of She-Ra's sword to create a She-Ra of their own to further their colonistation plans.

As for Finn... yes Finn does eventually get their own version of the She-Ra/He-Man powers, in fact Finn in my EU is also my adaption of He-Ro (basically, He-Ro was going to be a sequel series to the 80s He-Man cartoon in the 90s but it never properly happened, but in the lore of that series, he was going to be She-Ra's son. Thus, Finn is now He-Ro, a warrior of the future carrying on their mother's legacy of saving the universe).

Sorry, I know all that ramble didn't quite make sense but I have had a LOT of thoughts about this lol

Oh that's the great thing about Masters of the Universe! You don't have to have watched a single episode of any of the shows ever! :D

Masters of the Universe started as a line of action figures.

First released in 1982, the only lore for the characters were the bios printed on the backs of the action figures' blister packs, and a handful or picture books.

Later they started publishing and including mini-comics that came packaged with the toys.

In 1983 Mattel paired with the animation company, Filmation, to create the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon. It ran from 1933 to 1985 and is the show that most people are familiar with.

At the very least, if you don't know the show, you probably know Skeletor from the memes.

In the 90s Masters of the Universe fell out of popularity.

The Fimlation show had been cancelled and toy sales were down. Mattel partnered with a different animation studio to make the New Adventures of He-Man show, and it ran for 2 seasons. But it was not the big success Mattel was hoping for and toy sales for it did not bring in the profits they were expecting.

These days, no one remembers the New Adventures of He-Man.

In 2002, Mike Young Productions was given the project for a new Masters of the Universe show. At that time, anime was gaining popularity in the US and the new show borrowed heavily from anime with dynamic fight scene with a lot of weapon twirling.

The 2002 series also ran for 2 seasons before being abruptly canceled and none of the series' subplots being closed.

Most recently, Mattel paired with Netflix and in 2021 they released two(2) new Masters of the Universe shows.

Revelation was marketed as a spiritual sequel to the original Filmation show and meant to appeal to older fans.

The second was the Masters of the Universe Core/CGI series, which was a complete reimagining of the franchise and aimed at children, with a whole new toyline to pair with it.

Personally, I think the show aimed at children is the better show with superior story telling, but that is an unpopular opinion in the fandom.

If you have Netflix or don't mind pirating shows, I highly recommend Masters of the Universe Core/CGI. It's definitely worth a watch! :D

13. a fandom you’re thinking about writing for

I'm actually considering going back to my previous fandom: Masters of the Universe.

I was chatting with a friend yesterday and I got to info-dump to them about Skeleteen (Skeletor's son, yes, he's canon) and that got me really excited for the fandom again. I might resume work on some of my unfinished fics, or I might start new ones.

What does Spinal Tap sound like?

Do you have a favorite Skeletor voice?

Spinal Tap is Garak from Star Trek but like a note lower in pitch. I just think it works.

As for Skeletor voices I like CGI's Skele, which is the voice for Prima Materia's Skeletor too.
