After giving it plenty of time to settle with me, I'm going to talk about one of the more controversial Shows from last year.
This was split into two parts- each 5 Episodes- with a long gap separating them.
I won't make you wait months to find out how I feel about Part 2.
So what is...
Seriously, he hasn't failed so far!
An Epic Battle ensues and many big things happen...
Moss Man is killed!
The Sword of Power is split.
The Sword of Power is split.
Skeletor...dies?
He-Man...dies?!?
Yep, from Episode 2 on out, we get *Flashbacks* with He-Man, but he's otherwise dead.
He-Man...dies?!?
Our remaining Heroes regroup after some time to re-forge the Sword to save Eternia.
Can they journey through dangerous Realms- like what is basically Hell down below- and save the land?
Will something shocking happen to set up Part 2?
Will something shocking happen to set up Part 2?
Watch it to find out.
I both get and don't get the hate for this. It messes with everything (just about) that you hold dear from the original Show- granted. Reboots have done that before to far less of a degree. The fact that this is billed as a Sequel Series is clearly the key here.
Like the Star Trek 'Reboot' (that still affected the main Continuity), it gives an 'unhappy ending' to many Characters you like and remember.
Of course, the Show is only half-over, so maybe wait for EVERYTHING to happen to find out if things are 'ruined' for good, maybe? Just saying.
Outside of that, the 'bait and switch' claim is silly when you remember that 'He-Man' is not in the Title. Also he's in every Episode!
Honestly, if you're a fan of the original Show, give it a look past the first 2 Episodes and give it a chance. Just know that if you still disagree, I'm not the guy to blame here...
A good Show that surely shocks the 'I'm here for Nostalgia' Crowd for all of the right and wrong reasons. Once that happens, it actually has some good Stories to tell, so give it a chance.
