He-Man: Masters of the Wokeverse
It’d be easy to call Netflix’s new Masters of the Universe: Revelation show an exercise in He-Man nostalgia, but that’s just its surface. Sure, we have the same characters from the early 1980s cartoon back for more adventure: Prince Adam and his alter-ego He-Man, his evil antagonist Skeletor, beautiful and dangerous Captain of the Royal Guard Teela, bumbling magician Orko, and so on. But however much the choppily-animated action sequences might pay homage to the original series, it doesn’t take even all of the first episode for it to become clear that there’s something else at work here.
