Poisoned Chalice

This show is turning out to be a roller-coaster of excitement & let-downs. Something cool shows up on screen only to be ruined.

It was great to see Stinkor, but then he exhaled his stench which is not how his power works. 

It was great to see Blast Attack finally in a cartoon! Tri-Klops being a cult leader of tech worshipers was interesting but I didn't like Whiplash being turned into a cyborg. They should have used Twistoid or Strongarm instead; that would have made more sense.

They don't even mention how much time had passed since the 1st episode.

Not only did they turn White redhead Lieutenant Andra, black, she's now an engineer. She has nothing in common with Andra except the name, she should have just been the woman from Veridas. Then black-washed Andra started talking like she was from She-Ra & the Princesses of Power. After all the queer-baiting in the rest of this episode, it's clear Revelations is a "spiritual" successor to that show & not the original He-man cartoon from the 80s.

I don't like seeing 2 humans able to over-power robots, cyborgs & mutants. Teela & Andra don't have super-strength so they should have been using strategy not brute force. They did it with Stinkor too. Teela's Swiss Army staff was also annoying. Cringer's name is even more appropriate because that speech about He-Man leaving Eternia in Teela's care was super cringe.
