Well, to sum up the spoiler review:

The opening episode is a gigantic Royal Rumble of characters duking it out, which ends with Skeletor tricking He-Man into stabbing him in the chest. This somehow lets him get his hands on the Sword of Power and gets control (or starts to get control) over Castle Grayskull. He-Man splits the Sword of Power to stop him, but doing that explodes both him and (apparently) Skeletor. He turns briefly into Adam while doing it and this is how Teela finds out they're the same person.

Time skip and everyone's sad. Teela ragequits because she feels betrayed and also sad over Adam. Sorceress is dying, magic is dying, and Eternia is dying. We find out Eternia is actually the lifeline of the universe. If it goes, so does everything else.

They have to find the two halves of the Sword of Power. This means going to Eternia Hell (Underworld) and Eternia Heaven (Preternia). Man at Arms can reforge the Sword of Power, but he's stuck in Grayskull as the Sorceress' only defense against the fragmented Evil Warriors. So they send Roboto with Teela because Roboto can theoretically do it too. Maybe.

Teela gets her maybe-girlfriend, Orko, Roboto, and Evil-Lyn as her Fellowship of the Ring. They go to the Underworld where Scare-Glow is guarding the evil half of the Sword of Power, and there's also a portal to Preternia. (Huh?)

Big fight happens. Scare-Glow feeds off fear, and Teela's afraid she isn't good enough, so the fight spills over into Preternia.

Orko dies in Episode 4 in a heroic sacrifice against Scare-Glow. Apparently this feels pretty "final" as deaths go. They make a grave for him in Preternia.

They find Adam hanging out in paradise with the rest of his He-Man ancestors and explain what's going on. (Moss Man is also dead and in Heaven. I don't know why.)

There is a portal back to Grayskull from Preternia (there's a portal just about anywhere in this show, apparently), but whoever goes through it can never return (isn't this All Dogs Go to Heaven?). Adam voluntarily gives up any chance to return to Preternia in order to return to Grayskull with his friends.

Roboto reforges the Sword of Power, but dies in the process. I guess this thing is a radioactive hazard or something.

Once they're in Grayskull, there's another big fight between Man at Arms and a few Evil Warriors where he basically solos them. Teela, Adam, and the group get down to the inner depths of Grayskull where Adam raises the Sword of Power to turn into He-Man...

...and Skeletor pops out of Evil-Lyn's staff, where he's actually been hiding the whole time. He stabs Adam right through the chest, possibly killing him (?). He takes the Sword of Power, holds it up, and does the famous chant:

End Part 1 on that cliffhanger. See you in, er, 6 months.

*sigh* Goddamnit, am I going to have to post the video again?


Only, yanno, for reals this time. This should surprise precisely no-one who's payed attention for the last 5+ years.

Whelp, looks like the only modern reboots that respect the source material are still just Ducktales, Cobra Kai and the Creed/Rocky movies.

How is Hollywood so bad at this? Why bother with IP at all if you're not going to use them? Haven't they seen the faithful adaptations always do better than the deconstructions?

Never not relevant when people ask this.

Women of Eternia could always use more minotaur cock. Although did you had to use a furry Village People reject?

I'm sorry but whenever I hear this joke I always think of this clip.

Even if it's retarded and inaccurate.

SorrowTV is a Gianni Matragrano case where he can read some funny stuff but every now and then he reads some retarded gay shit, it should be expected because his primary content is Reddit stuff but still.

Anyways while I'm here I feel like I should bring up how Jim Starlin will almost certainly love this show and will probably use some of the scenes from it in his videos after it comes out.

I kinda hope he ends up making a video about it, I want to hear what his crazy takes on it would be. It wouldn't be off brand because he barely covers video games now.

This bait and switch stuff is just getting tiring.

This is why I've stopped going to movies, watching new shows, or anything like that.

Teela was strong enough to hold her own on her own show, with that backup of characters, people would have watched it and liked it if the story writing was tight.

But no, gotta remove He-Man from his own show to make her be the star.

Oh, and gotta make sure she looks like a fucking tranny.

I hate almost everything about this, I'm not a huge fan of He-man but I watched and enjoyed it so seeing soy male feminist shit all over it is just sad.

The She-Ra reboot was bad but they at least didn't pull this super disrespectful bait-and-switch, it's funny how both He-Man and She-Ra will be for girls because I guess boys can't have shit nowadays.

Anyways I said "I hate almost everything", I have to admit that Ultimate Skeletor's design is pretty bad ass but I wish it was for a dream sequence or was like a fan made Bad End Friend because then it would be detached from this awful plot.

Product Placement said:
Wasn't going to watch this anyway, but killing the title character of the show is just beyond idiotic. He-man is the brand and people who will watch this expect He-man not only to be in it but to be the star, if they had to do something out there they could kill Adam and have someone else take over as He-man. Would you do a Batman movie with Batman/Bruce Wayne dies 5 minutes in without someone else taking up the mantle? no, because no matter how good that movie could be, no one wants to see that, they want to see Batman. No one is going to stick around to see He Man return in how many episodes it takes.

Why do you make a point that if someone was there to take He-Man's mantle it would be better? It's funny how you bring up Batman as an example because DC already kind of did something like this and it was awful.

Thundercats reboot was pretty good, but then they cancelled it for the knock off cheaper version.

LMAO hell no. The screeching harpy and her loser husband are still annoying outrage grifters and deserve to be ridiculed. Also it's the leaks that were right. The clownfish tards just made a video about it. They shouldn't get the credit.

Why is masculinity frowned upon now?

Is He-man even that masculine besides being protective, strong & looking like a bodybuilder on steroids? I didn't watch the newer series but in the 80s he was also friendly, caring, had lots of empathy etc. I'd say he is more heroic than just masculine.

Good writers don't need to do bait & switch and it's entirely possible to give Teela her own spin-off series. Call it Masters of the Universe: The adventures of Teela or something like that. But don't kill off the main character and focus entirely on a side character (and if you have to do it, not in the first season!!).
