For those wondering why the Pictures are frozen when I show clips from the Movie it's because when I tried to post my original video Universal Pictures Block it do to Copyright claim
I liked the movie. It attempts to show what levels of development a new sentient species would be at, after emerging from a pre oral/linguistic situation. The apes are in the bronze age in some places with people warlord "king" type figures, whereas in other places they have learned animal husbandry and developed symbiotic relationships and ritual rights of entering into adulthood. This is a good angle. many people do not seem to have understood that underlying message.
i know what the critics and the fans said about Revelation, but my reasons for not liking the series had nothing to do with the ones most other fans had (eg, Teela). I could not accept Revelation because of the massive plot holes that occurred because the writers ignored certain rules about how MOTU works. For instance, the Sorceress would not blindly believe that Faker was He-Man and let him into Castle Grayskull with some villains in tow, especially since Castle Grayskull .is not a prison (villains were sent to the prison mines when they were caught in the Filmatiion cartoon), He-Man is supposed to be able to enter Castle Grayskull without the Sorceress ("By the power of Grayskull, I command the Jawbridge open!" In he Filmation cartoon or inserting his sword into a slot in the castle in the books and comics- take your pick), and the Sorceress has telepathic abilities that she could use to verify He-Man's identity (which should have worked even if they chose not to give He-Man the ability to enter Castle Grayskull without the Sorceress). For me, the plot holes snowballed from the opening scene and were too massive to ignore. Nonetheless, I do see how people who are not familiar with these rules might enjoy it, and I also can see how people who were fans of the Filmation cartoon but don't remember some of these rules might enjoy it for nostalgia reasons.
I think that Revolution is much improved from Revelation.The characters are more watchable and in keeping with their classic counterparts . The action scenes and the transformation scenes (particularly the magical girl/Super Senshi transformation) are fun to watch, and it does feel more like a MOTU series overall. I enjoyed the banter between Orko and Gwildor, and I appreciate their efforts to combine different aspects of the lore (Skeletor's multiple origin stories, Gwildor, Snake goddess Teela, etc). However, I did take issue with a number of plot holes that I think could have been fixed. I think that the plot point of King Randor refusing to let Sorceress Teela heal hm (or at least attempt to do so) to be weak. I would have wanted to know what limits on Teela's powers prevented her from healing him, why she couldn't heal him if she didn't have any limits, or why King Randor thought it wasn't possible. To that effect, I really liked that they put limits on Teela's powers. (Having an all-powerful Mary Sue gets boring after awhile.) I would have liked to have seem more limits specified. I think that the plot point of Adam having to give up his powers to rule is contrived because He-Man is only a magnification of Adam's own abilities, not separate person. No reason is given for Adam/He-Man being unable to do both other than King Randor thinks it can't be done (the will of the ages) .I don't understand how King Randor would know. He has never had to protect Eternia as He-Man. In fact, he (and most of the other characters) didn't even know that the power of He-Man came from his son's sword until recently, and he doesn't seem to understand what being He-Man entails. He says that being He-Man involves going off on adventures, but he seems to have forgotten how many times He-Man defended his kingdom and Castle Grayskull against Skeletor. He also seems to have forgotten about King Grayskull, who seemed to do both fine. Also, not being able to do both contradicts our own history, in which some of the greatest rulers were also warriors (eg, Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan, Julius Cesar, etc), who actively participated in battles after they came to power. I would have liked to have known what makes Eternia different from Earth and would prevent He-Man/Adam from ruling Eternia like our warrior rulers did with their empires. It would have caused what Adam/He-Man does to the monarchy in episode 5 to make more sense. It is also unclear what makes He-Man/Adam think that the people of Eternia want democracy. I think for that plot point to work , they should have given a hint that the Eternian people were unhappy with the monarchy. Also, why wouldn't a constitutional monarchy work? I found the plot point of Adam/He-Man simply allowing a stranger to assume the crown to be weak. While I do understand that He-Man can be trusting at times, I would think that Adam/He-Man would be smarter than that. I also don't understand why Queen Marlena can't rule. She ruled with her husband before he died. I find it rather convenient that she has to abdicate the throne just because her husband passed away. (They seem to have forgotten that Queen Marlena is not a figurehead. She could be formidable in her own right. [See "The Rainbow Warrior" in the Filmation series.]) They seem to have forgotten that (per them) the facade of Castle Grayskull is supposed to be an illusion for the Hall of Wisdom. So I don't understand how Motherboard can mechanize its facade like she did, unless the mechanized facade is also an illusion. (Granted, Castle Grayskull was destroyed at one point during Revelation, but they don't clarify that the illusion is no longer valid). I do think t that the plot holes are not as glaring, which helps to improve Revolution over Revelation. I think they could have improved it further if they could have fixed or clarified some of these plot issues.
