While creator Kevin Smith, who has taken as much of a personal bashing as Master of the Universe: Revelation itself, proclaimed in interview after interview that this was definitely a He-Man show, a continuation of the storyline from the original series, and in no way was he about to make it into “The Teela Show”, it seems that he may have been a little loose with the truth as far as many fans are concerned.
The original series was titled He-Man and The Masters of The Universe, whereas the new series drops the He-Man name.
Masters of The Universe: Revelation has arrived on Netflix and the Rotten Tomatoes verdict is such a polar opposite affair that it is almost like He-Man and Skeletor themselves.
As Kevin Smith is finding out, it is one thing to reimagine a much loved property, but it is never going to please those expecting something different.
