Above.

Having seen the majority of the remakes of He Man since the original 80s version, most of them suck compared to the original IMO, particularly Masters of the Universe: Revolution that was on Netflix last year.

Thoughts?

I enjoyed the original series at the time, and Skeletor is stil a cult classic villain.

The 2003 series I couldn't really get into, especially not when it was discontinued after two seasons, leaving any plot unresolved.

As for the two series that came out on Netflix recently.. While I didn't enjoy the CGI and re-use of animation (ironic, given the show's origins..), it kinda grew on me... in a sense that I wanted to watch it to completion; or well, as complete as it's gotten so far, since there's clearly another season coming...

I enjoyed Masters of the Universe; it was a nice journey back to the Eternia of the old days, without bringing us yet another reboot. Mark Hamill was a great Skeletor, and it was nice to see a deeper exploration of some of the lore; hoping we'll get a new season of that soon. :)
