Considering all of the characters that have toys that have been revealed that were not in season 1 it was pretty obvious that season 2 was coming just didn't expect it this soon...

March 3, 2022

My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.

Which version of Netflix He-Man is this? Not the Kevin Smith run, right? This is the more "kid-ified" version?

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "The World Above"

Spoiler

Great ending. Happy hunting!

I like that Stratos won the race (although the punk cheated). It's good the show still gave him that.

I loved Stratos' comical gasp upon seeing his statue destroyed.

I was amused by the meta discussion of the mind-controlled guards over what the nature of mind-control actually was.

Cute episode back. 4 stars.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "The World Below"

Spoiler

I like Skeletor telling his nephew he liked it better when he was dead. I also liked him saying those urchins are almost adorable.

I laughed at Beast Man raging that this wasn't a negotiation, but a statement of intent.

Evil-Lyn just did Skeletor a huge favor at the end there, even if he's too dumb to know it.

I still love the star effects on Teela's magic wings.

Another solid episode. 4 stars.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "Eternia 2000"

Spoiler
Skeletor hates today. The ballroom scene was pure silliness.

I like that Cringer acts like a cat when he sees the lights on the console.

Kicking Stratos off the team wasn't fun, but it had to be done. The guy was nothing but a liability. I noticed that at the end of the day he had no defenders left there either.

I like the word "inanities". It needs to be used more often on more kids shows.

Good. 3 1/2 stars.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "A Very Hungry Dragonfly"

Spoiler
Bobcat Goldthwaite does indeed have a hideous voice.

I laughed at the visual of Evil-Lyn sleeping with one eye open.

The animation in the climax was wonderful.

Pretty good episode. 3 1/2 stars.


He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "Meanwhile..."
Spoiler

Ooh, I wonder who grabbed the wish stone at the end.

I'm a little disgusted Skeletor is as spoiled over his birthday as a My Super Sweet 16 Princess. But I'm also not surprised. It's totally on-brand.

I loved him menacingly asking where the bathroom was.

Duncan trying to make sure he had a good birthday was fun. I liked Skeletor conceding it was pretty good cake at the end.

Trapjaw's jaw is legit scary.

The idea that Panthor is a flying motorcycle is super dumb.

I like Orko Polo. SO dumb and funny.

Cute episode. 4 stars.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "Divided We Stand"

Spoiler

"Orkoning" is my favorite word invented by this show.

I actually don't care about Man-E-Faces' self-doubt and pathos.

Good cliffhanger. 3 1/2 stars.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "The Battle Of Avian"

Spoiler

I love that the finale's gonna be down to Ram Ma'am.

I liked Man-E-Faces saying he didn't like the patron but didn't have a problem with the venue. What a neat way to put that. I am also amused he thinks Evil-Lyn is his new muse.

Teela being able to suck up laser blasts in her portal wings and redirect them back at her enemies might be my favorite superpower ever.

I love when one of the robots says he aspires to be a disappointment Ork-O says cheerfully "Exactly!"

I love that Stratos and his heroes get their own lame theme song.

Good stuff. Not GREAT stuff yet. But we're getting there. 4 stars.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "The Fifth Nemesis"

Spoiler

Never mind. Didn't dig it. It played up the big dramatic moments very well, but I'm not happy about Ram Ma'am turning into a villain.

A disappointment. 2 1/2 stars.

Changed my mind. I'll repost the review in the first post, and keep your post as is following it, and you can copy and paste that into a separate, less confusing post at your leisure.

<again, sorry about that, Matt...  I'll clean-up the way this looks a little later today>

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "The World Above"

Spoiler

Spoiler
Cringer called them by name but the end of this "season" but they still ain't Two-Bad... My patience is wearing thin on that one!

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "Eternia 2000"

Spoiler
Skeletor hates today. The ballroom scene was pure silliness.

Spoiler
Pretty sure this is where that came from... 

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "Meanwhile..."

Spoiler

Spoiler
To quote Yogurt..."MOICHENDIZING!"...    https://www.walmart.com/ip/He-Man-and-The-Masters-of-The-Universe-Skeletor-Painthor-Vehicle-Figure-Set/911230027/

They've got the cat mold... a few new pieces and a proper Panthor is done.  Hopefully the real cat will show up in the next season

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe "The Fifth Nemesis"

Spoiler
...I'm not happy about Ram Ma'am turning into a villain.

Spoiler
Agreed...  when does the next batch drop?...  The redemption can't come soon enough!

@jim_abell 

I have no clue when the next episodes drop but I would guess there will be 8 of them. Streaming services have been mistreating animators and show producers by ordering 26 episode seasons, and dropping only either a third or a fourth of the season at once while calling those small groups of episodes seasons. Because of how the contracts are written, Netflix and other streaming services don't have to pay the animators and producers as much when they do that. 

Spoiler
I'm a little bit miffed about Ram-Ma'am. Especially peeved that if the show were being aired properly that wouldn't have been a season ending cliffhanger at ALL.
