The let-downs continue. Yay Mer-Man, oh he's easily beaten by Man-At-Arms. Yay Roboto, oh he's now a clone of Man-At-Arms. Yay, Tri-Klops vs Beastman, oh Tri-Klops doesn't use his sword, I guess he thinks swords are magic??"My sun & my moon"? The Game of Thrones reference was really creepy & incestuous. Mark Hamill was good as Skeletor in Episode 1, but in this episode he reverted to The Joker; it was really distracting. Then we get Evil-Lyn turning into Harley Quinn talking about how she wasted her life being with Skeletor.
Just like in some Batman & Superman comics, everyone is insulting the two most important characters. Both He-Man & Skeletor are insulted & disrespected throughout this episode by everyone. Teela disrespects her own father calling him a "broken old man" and she calls him Duncan instead of dad. Even in the flashback, He-Man is rescued by Man-at-Arms & Teela! Again, a normal human, Teela, beating an Aquatican - under water! The show has nothing but contempt for the straight men.There's no magic left, but Orko is wasting it on light & Evil-Lyn is using her magic like it's normal. And the injured/scarred eye is overdone on this show.
They also keep talking as if they were vigilantes going on adventures. Teela was the captain of the guard, she was a soldier, not an adventurer. He-Man was not some guy going on random adventures, he was protecting Castle Grayskull & the entire Universe, but they talk about it like it was some thing they did for fun. Whoever wrote this obviously doesn't know what this IP is about.
