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 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?

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.

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

Masters of the Universe:  Revolution, Ep. 5 – The Sword and the Staff (spoilers)

Of all the things to happen in this series, I honestly didn’t expect for it to go Shoujo.  Even if it was for just a minute.  There isn’t going to be much of a recap here.  This episode felt like 5 minutes of plot and 15 minutes of kids playing with their toys.  And I don’t mean that in a negative way.  It literally reminded me of the stories kids would come up with while playing with toys, even how they might bring in other toys just to make it more epic.  It was fun to watch.

As for the series itself, it’s not horrible, but it was disappointing.  And, again, I really do think that this was probably planned to be another 10 part story, like the first one, but Netflix cut it down to 5. And, by doing that, it really just hurt the story.

So, Teela is loosing control of the power, but Orko arrives just in time with the sword.  Adam is able to get to Teela and, again in what is a clearly a Shoujo based moment, calls upon the power of Greyskull and both of them transform into more powerful versions of themselves.  And then they kiss.  Moving on.

Now, they have to save the planet.  He-Man is going to cure all the people and defeat Skeletor.  Andra and Duncan will fight the forces of the Horde.  Teela, who’s now the Tri-Sorceress, is going to bring back Preternia.  Orko and Lyn will protect her while she does so.

Anyway, He-Man saves the people and we have the fifteen minute fight.  During this fight, He-Man realizes that his sword can absorb Skeletor’s powers.  Skeletor raises the, I’m sorry but these are clearly based on Angels from Evangelion, and people fight.  The Dragon comes and sacrifices himself.  Teela brings back Preternia and the ghosts of all the heroes come and fight.  This includes Duncan.  The Horde is defeated and so are the Angels (I don’t care what they called them, they’re Angels).  The heroes go back to Preternia and Duncan is about to follow, when Skeletor uses magic to grab ahold of him.  He swears that he’s going to send Duncan back to Subternia.  And I have to ask, I know we saw the Sorceress interact with Teela, but they were in a magical castle, so…does Duncan know what’s been going on?  Like does he know Skeletor is Kaldor or….?  Anyway, He-Man is able to free Duncan and then stabs Skeletor in the stomach.  However, he isn’t doing this to kill him; but to absorb all the magic from his body.  This leaves a very much alive and naked Kaldor on the battlefield. 

The next day (I’m guessing) we see that Kaldor is in a cell in Greyskull.  Meanwhile, in front of the ruins of the place (and the damaged city next to it), He-Man gives a speech.  And, I shit you not, the great hero of Eternia takes a look at all this destruction and then at the people who never once said that had any problems with the government of Eternia and decides to dissolve the Monarchy.  Because Eternia shouldn’t be ruled by a bloodline, but by the people.  Which is not a bad thing, but maybe a transitional government at least?  Like dude’s literally like “you’ve got this” and goes to shack up with Teela at Greyskull. 

And then we find that Lyn is off world as she’s being given a chance to join….honestly, this scene was so random that it took me by surprise and I don’t remember what they called themselves.

Afterwards, we see Hordak in a tank.  And a woman in a mask comes up and tells him she’s going to get him healed and then they’ll have revenge.  We don’t see the woman’s face.  My guess is that it’s going to be Adora, so long as they can convince Dreamworks into letting them use the character, but they don’t show her face.  This way, if they can’t use her, then they can call her something else.

Futher Preternia (era of He-Ro) Thoughts

L-R: Eldor with the Book of Living Spells, Gray, Gray as He-Ro the Most Powerful Wizard in the Universe

Gray’s older sister (headcanon based on “raised by” in his bio) Sharella as tribal archer.

Sharella would also learn magic and eventually become the Chosen of Serpos, perhaps when King Hiss is banished. I’m thinking her cobra headdress/top would connect to a floor-length skirt to make a backless evening gown, rather than the official duplicate of Teela’s classic outfit.

Byron, the Wizard of Zoar (bearded man with orange hat and She-Ra-inspired shirt). Would probably change his species (Avionian?).

His daughter Veena was created first (2003) and has only been seen as an adult already married to King Grayskull:

She would be destined to become the first Sorceress of Castle Grayskull after he, He-Ro and 3 other wizards make the ultimate sacrifice to create it.

(Alternative: if we want a long time to pass between the era of He-Ro and the era of D’Vann and Veena Grayskull, change first Sorceress’ name and look.)

Wizard of Zalesia. Zalesia is said to be the first human country on Eternia. Its oldest relic, the Havoc Staff of Bash-Or, is passed from one holder to the next by merit (kingship will be instituted when the ruling Council of Wizards is gone). Male or female non-human student earned it?

Keclar, the craftsman. The wizard whose last act before sacrificing himself will be to craft the two magic swords the Guardian of Grayskull will guard. Depicted in the 80s UK comics as a white man with a long white beard, make him younger and something else (it’s been suggested elsewhere than Trollans forged the Power Sword).

Noah. He taught Hordak magic, so he’ll be an old-looking Eternian all the way back when Hordak helped build Central Tower. The two of them worked with a Cat folk architect, who came up with its look.

A young Hordak with a normal fleshy head like his SPOP incarnation, blue or gray to match a vintage skin tone, would be the sixth young hero with He-Ro, Sharella, Byron, the Wizard of Zalesia and Keclar.

Hordak’s mother would be a witch who mated with the immortal demon Seferus Kur. Maybe she’s Gar and Hordak had bat ears intermediate between MotU Classics’ Horde Prime’s wing ears and Gar elf ears?

(Two boneheads with light and darker blue skin.)

Core Eternian peoples not accounted for: Mer-Men, Bee people, Arachnae, Crab people, Pelleezeans, maybe Avionians, maybe Gar.

What if when Adam divided the sword, instead of going to Preternia, he went to Etheria?????

Masters of the Universe:  Revolution, Ep. 1 – Even for Kings (Spoilers)

I can’t be the only one who wondered why the cloaked figure at the beginning was breaking into what seemed like Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, right? 

So, this is the sequel to Revelation.  The first episode is alright.  It’s setting up the next storyline.  I do kind of wish they had made it more clear as to how much time has passed, because it felt like this could have been anywhere from a couple of months to more than a year later. 

Like the rescue mission for the souls would have happened probably not too long after the events of Revelation.  However, they way they’re talking it seems like Teela’s been Sorceress for awhile; so who knows.

Going to go through one part real quick.  We see Skelator is converting more of his minions for this Mother Board.  But then Mother Board reports to Hordak.  Hordak mentions how Mother Board was able to, I don’t remember his exact words, but she was able to bring Skeletor back to the fold; indicating there’s a history there.  Now what exactly will that history be…well, it ain’t going to be exactly like the one from the original series.  Due to…copyright and how Dreamworks own She-Ra, it’s doubtful that she’ll ever appear and so that backstory is gone.  Anyway, Skeletor has knowledge of the Horde, but He-Man and the rest of the heroes do not.  Also, Kieth David as Hordak?  Yes, please. 

But the story begins with the Masters of the Universe (and a cowboy?  He must have been a later character) saving the souls of Fisto and Clamp-Champ from Subternia.  And while they are successful in their mission, the souls are kind of stuck in limbo as they have nowhere else to go since Evil-Lyn destroyed Preternia.  But the joy of the mission is short lived as we find out King Randor is dying of massive organ failure and no one knows the cause.  So, Randor decides to spend his last few moments with his wife and his son that he totally loves and never, ever considered a failure (what kind of retcon bs is this?). 

Meanwhile, we find out that Teela has been trying to…recreate Preternia?!  (I know The Sorceress was supposed to be powerful, but she ain’t a god!).  Anyway, she fails and Orko suggests that Teela go speak with the previous Sorceress (‘cause, uh, without Preternia, the spirit of The Sorceress is just kind of chillin’ in Greyskull).  The Sorceress explains to Teela that, if I understand this correctly, their magic comes from Zoar, one of these three gods/cosmic entities/what have you.  And it’s the combined magic of these three beings that created Preternia.  So, if Teela wants to recreate it, she has to have magic from all three.  So, Teela’s going on a quest.

 Meanwhile, Randor explains to Adam that Adam is going to have to choose how he’s going to rule.  Basically, will he be Adam or He-Man (but pretty much his battle days are over).  Randor also mentions how Randor lost a brother, which seems to be a surprise to Adam and the Queen.  Then, he dies.  And… wow, Eternia does not waste time!  The very next day, they have the King’s funeral.  Adam has to give a speech and then he’ll be crowned King.  So, Adam gives his speech and says he won’t be half as good of a King.

And then a voice from the crowed says that Adam should refuse the crown.  And wouldn’t you know it, but Randor’s brother is alive and is saying that he’s the rightful king of Eternia.  So, I guess we aren’t going with the story that Skeletor is actually Keldor or is this some sort of ruse? Also, Keldor is William Shatner?!

Okay, Revelation S2 prediction!

I confess, I have a crush on King Grayskull from Masters of the Universe: Revelation. I read about him at Wiki Grayskull, where I learned that the MOTU:R prequel comics gave him a backstory.

According to the wiki, one of Grayskull’s sons was “killed” (rendered comatose) by a monster called the Orlax. Determined to stop the creature and unable to harm it with ordinary weapons, he forged the Sword of Protection.

If the comics are canonical, Grayskull is well-acquainted with a father’s grief. He knows the pain, anger, and helplessness that a parent feels after losing a child, as does his foil, Randor. Whereas Grayskull channeled his grief into constructive activities meant to protect others, Randor hid his grief behind anger and lashed out at his closest friends. Grief propelled Grayskull into acts of selflessness and Randor into acts of selfishness. The contrast is striking.

I predict that Grayskull’s backstory will come up vis-a-vis Randor in season 2. Here are some possibilities:

Randor and Adam reunite. Adam is aghast at Randor’s actions following his death, and tells him about how King Grayskull reacted to the death of his son. Randor is contrite and seeks to atone for how he treated Duncan, Orko, and Cringer.

Skeletor’s apotheosis is an existential threat to Eternia. The souls of the heroic dead leave Preternia to defend their home. After his return to the realm of the living, King Grayskull meets Randor, and the two talk about how they coped with their respective sons’ deaths. Randor sees the error of his ways.

[whymustablogbenamed]

Had a sad tought about another reason why Orko wanted to go with Teela and the others to repair the sword in revelation, and why they added that his magical blunders are because of his childhood. Think they wanted to add another paralel with Adam (I remember a post where they showed both Adam's and Orko’s last look back to Teela), that they both suffered because they couldn't meet their parents expectations (Marlena keeps telling his son she is proud, but he needs to hear it from his father).

I can imagine that as Adam grew up, he might have gotten a few   disapproving glances from the king or even scolded for playing too loud,  or getting late for royal duties. And Orko when he is in the palace had  a high chance seeing Adam upset after one, he surely tries to talk to  him (like in Problem with power, where he goes after He-man, because he  needs him). But it's not one sided, Adam too goes to cheer him up if  Orko is upset (Like in Orko's missing magic). He most likely knows that eternian people go to subternia or preternia, while his kind goes to somewhere different. Maybe his motivation was to hopefully see Adam one last time before he dies. And nearly suceeded if not for Scareglow, and right at the gate too.

I don’t have much to add to this besides, yeah, this sounds accurate. I hadn’t considered ‘seeing Adam one last time’ as motivation for Orko, but that makes sense.

I think it’s notable that everyone was surprised to see Adam in Preternia--This seems to indicate that most Eternians know exactly how Preternia works. However, as shown in Orko’s nursery rhyme, Trollans are established to have a connection to Subternia. He might know more than Teela or even Evil-lyn on how the afterlives work.

And as a side note, it’s made pretty clear that Preternia only exists for people with definite ties to Grayskull, like He-men and Sorceresses. And Moss Man. For some reason. Maybe because he died inside Grayskull? I have many questions on what Preternia is and why it exists. Especially because you can physically go to it and physically leave it. It seems more like a mechanism to give He-men and Sorceresses an extra life instead of a legit afterlife.
