He-Man and The Masters of The Universe
S01E31
Season 1 Episode 31
I still prefer the mini-comic version of this story, with Princess Rana. This episode would have made me so angry as a kid, because it's just a lot of new characters that were not action figures.
I like how they thought He-Man was a legend & how they didn't recognize him. It's not like there's tv, it's an almost medieval society. It shows that they didn't have to leave the planet, which I also hated, to have episodes like this.
I like how Princess Rhea, tried to save he-man, even though she failed & got captured.
It looks like only the Gargon squad leaders have wings. It seemed like the Gargons were mercenaries who got paid for capturing people for Paranoid Queen Balina's fighting arena. Garn isn't naturally strong. Draca magically made him strong.
It was weird how they just made Garn the new king, like King Thales of Operon can just appoint a king of Targa.
He-Man and She-Ra
There were so many Masters in this episode! I wish they had used them more than they did but it was still better than usual.
Peekablue used her omni-directional vision & Mermista found the Jewel. Two-Bad, Spikor, Rattlor & Webstor were piloting Skeletor's ship & Catra, Modulok & Multi-Bot were piloting Hordak's ship. Perfuma somehow made snow instead of Frosta. Flutterina put up decorations. Snout Spout put the star on the Christmas Tree.
In the background was Mossman, Mekaneck, Buzz Off, Man-E-Faces, Sy-Klone, Fisto, Glimmer, Bow, Castaspella, Ram Man, Stratos, Lizard Man, Zodac, Mekaneck, Sea Hawk & Loo-Kee
There were so many bonkers things in this special. He-Man made a Laser Bolt, fly into space, even though it has huge wheels & no wings. She-Ra joined him in space without a helmet. Sword to flame?? I guess kids liked seeing Skeletor be overcome by the spirit of Christmas.
The Monstroids just came up out of the ground randomly. The Beast Monster was not even a threat. I guess the message was that transforming robots are all evil. As if Autobots don't exist. The Monstroids aren't afraid of Hordak or Horde Prime.
Why would Man-At-Arms build the sky spy to be able to fly across the galaxy to Earth?
