The Dogs of War

Masters of the Universe Revolution
S01E04

Everyone keeps acting like Evil-Lyn is a good guy & blackternate Andra rescues Adam because she's the best at everything, and suddenly Orko's magic is so powerful he can defeat Leech, Grizzlor and Mantenna all by himself, even though we just watched them kill Rokkon in the last episode! Just ridiculous.  Orko is as strong as She-Ra now. And it looks like Teela, not He-Man, is going to save the day again, just like last season. And like last season: what has He-Man actually done?

The only good part of this episode was Mattel fixing failmations demotion of Skeletor from the Lord of Destruction into a lowly "acolyte" of Hordak. The retcon is that Hordak couldn't understand & wield magic so Hordak needed someone else to do it. Not bad, I always hated that diminishing of Skeletor by the She-Ra cartoon. Then Skeletor killed Hordak, which was actually very good. It would have been better if Skeletor had restored himself using Havoc magic to get rid of the Skeletek parts. but still, seeing Hordak be killed by Skeletor is something I always wanted to see. It's also good to see Teela looking feminine like the old cartoon.

Mother board was killed too and Man-at-Arms looks like Gladiator but he called himself Man-at-War instead of War Wraith, another missed opportunity. But I'm not really a fan of Man-at-Arms like some people are.

All the little Easter eggs don't impress me as much as they seem to do everyone else who keep overlooking the plot mistakes & problems.
