Cleaved in Twain

Masters of The Universe: Revelation
S01E06

It took me over a year to watch this continuation of the 1st season because the first 5 episodes were bad. Well this one is even worse. The writing is terrible. The lame jokes are not funny at all. "I'd like to fist him" - that was stupid, this was written by someone who doesn't like Masters of the Universe, so they mock it. Official media from the brand owner should never mock the brand itself, it basically insults the customers for consuming/buying it. The fact that these last 5 episodes did not break into the top 10 list on Netflix when it premiered is clear that the casual fans who watched the 1st 5 episodes didn't bother to return to watch more of this garbage. So what's wrong with this episode?

Instead of using existing evil warriors that have never been in a cartoon, everyone is turned into a ram's head creature, (just dumb) including Clamp Champ & Fisto, then they are killed. Instead of elevating the existing black heroic warrior, they prefer to kill him to focus on the blackwashed girl character who is nothing like the original Andra. The cartoon even said "they deserved a better death" in the actual episode. It comes across as a direct insult to the viewer. 'you're watching this bad show? They deserved a better death, but because we know you will settle for this poorly written garbage we didn't bother to try, so we just killed them off' sucker.

Fake Andra stops Fisto's punch with her own techno fist? Her arm bones would have shattered. He-Man transforms without the sword? It negates the entire struggle for the sword & control of Castle Grayskull. This terrible idea also tells every kid who spent time playing with their action figures using that storyline, that they wasted their time. Thanks Kevin!

I'll suffer through the rest of this train wreck because I'm not contributing to the views, maybe one a week.
