So I finally bought the MOTU art book off Amazon because it was on sale. It’s a fascinating read,there’s stuff that I haven’t seen before in this book and one of those things that caught my eye was this Preternia battle drawing that isn’t explained or has an artist credited.

This may be the most violent piece of MOTU art work I’ve ever seen: a three headed Snake Man being decapitated, Rattlor bitting some guy in the chest and blood gushing out, Spittor bashing some guys head in, and another Snake Man sniping someone while on a Turbodactyl.

And to top it off theirs Giants in the background destroying a whole city with their feet.

THIS IS EPIC!!

Andra's arc in MOTU Revelation

Having learned through the official art book that episode 4 of Revelation lost its opening scene, something clicked into place for me. Maybe I'm connecting dots that weren't meant to be connected, see what you think:

Now, strictly speaking, none of us knows what that scene is. But what if it was a flashback showing Andra's backstory? The circumstances she mentions in episode 8, of being left homeless after her grandfather died. If so, it would make sense that in Subternia, she, Roboto and Beast Man end up in a barren wasteland fighting zombies. That is HER deepest fear: isolation and death, what she experienced on the streets. That is why she is intensely loyal to Teela, for raising her out of that. Why she accepts being in a relationship with a woman who cannot give her heart as it still belongs to a dead man.

In Subternia, her enthusiasm for tech allows her to use Roboto to defeat the illusions. In Preternia, it's her plan to reforge the sword that ultimately gets Roboto killed and she has to deal with the fact that her enthusiasm for tech can have disastrous consequences.

Episode 6, she faces and conquers the fears of Subternia made real, when she fights and has to put down two undead monstrosities that, a minute or two before, were Teela's former comrades and some of the planet's most celebrated heroes.

Hordak and the Unnamed One in SPOP

As in the title, it's interesting it's specifically noted that in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Hordak started out as literally Unnamed (something noted in the series) and only took on the name Hordak some time after coming to Etheria. Making me wonder if this is a coincidence (more probable), or a reference to a fan theory that in the 1986 Powers of Grayskull storyline, Hordak was the Unnamed One, instead of Gorpo, or as was to be the case in the 200X comics (kinda) Horde Prime. (I elaborated on this theory in my discussion with @lemaistrechat here). Though as I discussed with @toonjukka , the identity of the Unnamed One in 80s seemed to had been undecided.

SPOP did reference some obscure lore, and even maybe fan lore/theories - up to for example, in Origin of Hero, the novelization of The Sword two part pilot, Octavia, in what is meant to be an offensive and insulting joke, suggested Catra (and probably her kind) are from Beast Isle...and in gbagok's fan lore, Catra was from Beast Isle, and the book possibly referenced it in a creative way...

Still, like the Unnamed, and Hordak in He-Man and She-Ra Power Tour lead Snake Men, SPOP Hordak' forces were in large part composed of Rogelio's lizard men species, being kinda Snake Men like (if separate from them), with Rogelio and the rest of his kind seemingly being inspired by the prototype design of Rattlor, as is some of Rogelio's characterization.

Still, this would be just a reference then - Hordak rather wasn't present on ancient Eternia/Preternia, seeing it's strongly implied Hordak is relatively young in SPOP/not ancient. (Unless the portal to Despondos/Etheria transported him 500 to 1000 years into the future..., but that's just a rather a pretty improbable theory).

spoilers for motu/revelations/revolution

So Evilyn in a power grab succeeds in destroying Preternia which is basically heaven then gets little to no flak for it .But Catra firing the portal is still unforgivable and makes her undeserving of redemption.

Hordak was also in the 200X cartoon. There he was an ancient warlord from Preternia in where he along with his Evil Horde were defeated by King Grayskull (the ancestor of Randor, Adam, & Adora) & banished to Despondos. He would have some spiritual power however in where he tutored Keldor & eventually turned him into Skeletor.

He would've been the main villain in Season 3 but the series was canceled due to the whole 200X stuff not doing well.

which is the iteration of Hordak voiced by Keith David?

coreternia fauna is 99% 'scary/weird' animals so their standards of 'cute' is completely different different than the surfaces'. their companion animal of choice are lavasters which are gigantic lobsters that range from the size of a large dog to a draft horse. meanwhile the 1% that are 'cute' (as in nonthreatening) also used it as a lure for prey in preternia so now coreternians will see a rabbit and go pale and run the other way screaming.

McFarlane revealed some new figures at a NYCC panel today. Some figures you might be interested in:

A Garth Aqualad (in his Tempest outfit I think) thats supposed to be out this winter.

Also, there's gonna be a Power Girl Figure out next year too. We're getting more female characters even if he's being slow about it.

Apparently there was a fan vote at the panel to choose one of four pre-selected characters for a figure. Jade (from the Green Lanterns) won! Remains to be seen on how long that'll take to be made. (You can find pictures of the vote from Toyark's coverage of the panel. Preternia on twiter also discussed and confirmed this.)

That last one in particular was funny, given two of the 4 choices already had figures and were likely gonna get another even without a vote (Bizzaro and Eradicator).

oooh nice! I am gonna have to get the power girl figure!

For garth aqualad it will depend how he scales :P lately i've been modding 6 inch figures to make teenage characters to go with my 7 inch adults. like all these guys (link) are cheap marvel legends or other figures i got from ollies (except tim, who i already had but modded in a different outfit, and impulse who was sold like that)

who is jade fro mgreen lanterns?

Anyway ty for info anon! Sounds like they've got some fun stuff

trying to get back into these. uh, let's see.

i've been putting together a summary of the MOTUC bios, but i just hit 10k and we're not even out of the Preternia era yet so like... 5000 years to go!

we've been doing pandaria remix shit and i'm like. man. it's so fun dude idk how i'm gonna go back to regular wow after this

idk. thoughts. emotions. summaries of my day. what do i write in these usually

[swordince]

rotating the thought of how. adam died in a way that left absolutely nothing of him behind except a scorch mark in ancient stone. that's not how most people end up dying. but it's how adam went, & he spent months in preternia, in heaven, valhalla, however you wish to call it, his great reward. he was just a soul there, affirmed by grayskull noting that everyone gets to choose their appearance in preternia. teela & the rest entered preternia through the gate in subternia, as solid, living bodies. when they returned to eternia, adam was the only one doing so without a breathing body to bring, in fact without a body to return to at all. he had to come back odd, if not wrong. rotating this thought…

YALL MOTU REVOLUTION WAS CRAZY

just finished it and im so mad it only has 5 eps like I MORE CONTENT AFTER SO LONG

gonna list my fav things and the bad parts here so spoilers

thank god they made the destruction of preternia a big deal and didnt forgot about it like in the end of revelation, teela and lyn working together to try to fix it was a nice sub plot (but i still feel like they didnt know what exactly do to with Lyn at this point)

hordak snorting was too funny, motherboard and him being annoyed by skeletor speaking was funny af also skeletor bringing that present box was great

really liked adam and teela characters, THEY FINALE KISSED LIKE AJAJSJWJSJ it was cute to see them being all flirty and embarrassed, all of their scenes together are adorable, i liked how teela could experience new things. The only thing that bothers me is how good at magic she is in such short time but ok! glad to see more adam but i feel like they could have done a little more with his personal thoughts especially related to his family secrets drama and skeletor being his uncle all this time, also he acts a little bit too innocent and naive for someone who fights skeletor for years now

i thought orko and gwildor was gonna be annoying at first but they had a fun dynamic to me

and as always the animation is beautiful and carries the show LMAOO

what i disliked

the focus on randor was a bit annoying, and they missed the opportunity to make adam conflicted about his dad hiding a big secret like he also did before, skeletor being part of his fam, their final battle was boring...

motherboard deaths was too easy just to get the fight between hordak and skeletor quicker, she deserved a little better after being show to be strong and smart

"keldor" saying he wants the crown then 1 minute later saying he doesn't want it was so?? lmaoo, adam and marlena didnt even discussed if this guy was for real like just trusting him with the kingdom like that...and everyone ok with that? NAH

lyns and granamyr romance thing was so unnecessary for both characters omg

unfortunately, the show is again rushed bc they want to focus on like 5 characters and in an adventure and the others characters need to act stupid and stay silently
