The iconic heroes of the Justice League have gone bad, and now it's up to an unlikely array of villains to save the day in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Masters of the Universe bosses promise lots of He-Man in Netflix's Revolution, as they defend his absence in last chapter
19.01.2024 - 10:45 / gamesradar.com
When the first half of Masters of the Universe: Revelation premiered in July 2021, some fans were not pleased. He-Man, it turns out, was barely in it, while sorceress Teela took over as the series' central character. Now, in the run-up to new outing Revolution, the Netflix show's bosses have promised fans the character will feature much more in the fresh batch of episodes.
"This is a story that's going to explore what it means to be He-Man when a new responsibility falls on Adam," executive producer Ted Biaselli tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Halo season 2 on the cover. "I think it's really interesting to explore what it's like when, as an adult, you know what you want to do, and your parents also have expectations for you. How do you reconcile with that?
"We do it with an eye towards making sure fans know that He-Man is in three-and-a-half or four out of the five episodes," he adds, teasingly. "He is He-Man in the show!"
Following on from the events of Revelation, Revolution sees He-Man try and thwart newly mechanized Skeletor's plan to attack Eternia using the might of the Motherboard. When he's not going toe to toe with the bulky bag o' bones, the blonde beefcake finds himself struggling to pick between the scepter or the sword, and a life as either the King or the Champion.
Elsewhere, Teela sets off on a mission to learn more about Snake Magic in order to rebuild a magic realm and help He-Man hold off the greatest threat Eternia has ever faced: Horde Empire leader Hordak.

While Biaselli, fellow EP Rob David, and showrunner Kevin Smith look to have taken the backlash on board and adjusted the ongoing story accordingly, the latter has no regrets about having He-Man take a bit of a backseat in Revelation.
"I know there are people that went after Revelation for putting Teela first or whatever, but we didn't," Smith explains. "Teela was as much a part of the story as she's always been a part of the story.
"I thought it would be a cool aspect of storytelling to remove the center of our universe for a few episodes and then bring him back. That wasn't me going, 'Let's break this franchise!' by any stretch of the imagination. People who wanted to attack the show were like, 'They killed He-Man', but it wasn't as if Mattel or Netflix were saying, 'Here man, go kill a franchise for us. That's why we brought you here!' Naturally, He-Man was always going to come back.
"Everything we did in He-Man's absence and when we brought him back still tied in heavily with the lore," continues Smith. "I'm a person who has enjoyed a franchise or two in his lifetime, and naturally I enjoy it

Masters of the Universe: Revolution is all about selling action figures, but that’s how He-Man stories should be
In the year that Greta Gerwig and the Mattel corporation got a postmodern comedy movie about Barbie dolls nominated for Best Picture, here’s another tribute to a famous Mattel toy line that’s maybe a little less sophisticated but, in its own way, no less genuine or self-aware. Masters of the Universe: Revolution, a five-part animated special on Netflix, is an enjoyably over-the-top celebration of the kitschy 1980s action figures.

Bomberman: Panic Bomber for PC-Engine is a blast, and no one has made that joke before, right?
It’s pretty easy to stand out in the Virtual Boy catalog. There were only fourteen games. Half weren’t very good, half felt like tech demos, and half were Virtual Boy Wario Ware. If a game didn’t fit into any of those three halves, it stuck out like a missing tooth.

Masters of the Air delivers the best WWII action in a generation
Fans of World War II movies, and of the European air war in particular, may recall the 1990 film Memphis Belle, which told a highly fictionalized story of the first B-17 bomber crew to complete its 25-mission tour of duty over Europe. While that film got most of the technical aspects of air combat right, it was a swing and a miss when it came to its writing. Even with a young and lovable Sean Astin manning the ball turret, that didn’t stop producers from making crooner Harry Connick Jr. hum a few bars from the tail gun. Overall it was a mixed bag, relying on black-and-white stock footage and especially heavy-handed performances from David Strathairn and John Lithgow to get its point across.
