Masters of the Universe: Revolution is a new animation series created by Kevin Smith.
Kevin Smith is the mastermind behind this new animated series, which authentically captures the nostalgic flair of the 80s while bringing back one of its iconic figures, He-Man, in his battle against malevolent forces.
This highly entertaining and somewhat Shakespearean storyline has it all, staying true to the original series’ animation throughout. It’s a show for both nostalgic viewers and new generations looking to discover the world of Eternia and its power struggles.
Plot
The King is nearing the end of his life, and his son Adam is chosen to wear the crown. However, He-Man (Adam) is also the Champion, and it’s impossible to fight while burdened with the weighty crown. In the midst of this, his estranged brother emerges and ultimately becomes the King.
Meanwhile, a conflict arises between technology and magic. Skeletor embraces technology, acquiring new powers that make him an even more formidable threat.
This is just a glimpse into a whole array of characters who, in their quest for power in Aeternia, won’t hesitate to deceive and, above all, fight.

About the Series
Kevin Smith brings out his youthful side to revisit these iconic characters from the 80s in a series that also features the voices of Mark Hamill, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lena Headey, and Liam Cunningham (all actors from “Game of Thrones”) to bring this realm of magic and technology to life, which is highly entertaining and can be watched in just a few hours.
The series consists of only five episodes, each lasting just half an hour. It features retro animation to preserve the essence of the original, good humor, some jokes that give it an 80s touch, and above all, a great script that makes “Masters of the Universe: Revolution” a real attraction for fans.
It may not be the most original animated series of the year, and not all fans of action figures and animated shows may be willing to relive their dreams, but “Masters of the Universe: Revolution” is incredibly entertaining in every aspect and has the perfect duration: it never gets boring and manages to condense the whole story while keeping a fast pace.
It’s a very classic story, almost in the style of John Milton, but it still retains its youthful spirit, whether we see it as a Shakespearean tragedy, Arthurian legends, or just a way to reconnect with old friends for some fun.
Our Opinion
A series that, while not entirely original, is absolutely charming.
