Things We Saw Today: Masters of the Universe: Revelation—Part 2 Trailer Has Dropped

The second part of Masters of the Universe: Revelation is coming, and just in time for the holidays.

Earlier this year, the Kevin Smith-created continuation series, based on the He-Man cartoon that was popular in the ’80s, was met with mixed reviews for choosing to go against the grain of what people expected from a He-Man series. It ended with a cliffhanger that I have wanted to see concluded since I binge-watched it. Plus, the voice cast is spectacular. Right now, Skeletor has the power, and you know that can’t be good.

The war for Eternia culminates in MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION, an innovative and action-packed animated series that picks up where the iconic characters left off decades ago. After a cataclysmic battle between He-Man and Skeletor, Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. And after decades of secrets tore them apart, it’s up to Teela to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this series wraps up because Smith’s vision really brought a lot to the franchise that I just didn’t expect, and it was beyond satisfying—especially since Castle Grayskull is now officially a Black-owned property. Love that for me.
