I'm an old guy and I dug that show, hope we get another season. Great overview! Especially from Ms. Lydia... you were okay too, Omar, I guess. Dark Horse really nails those art books, looks beautiful.
As someone in their 40's who grew up with MOTU, I absolutely loved the first season of Revelation. I'm looking forward to season 2. Mark Hamill recently confirmed on Twitter he was recording his lines for Skeletor again. I'm going to have to pick this book up!
I'm late 40s and really enjoyed it as well, watched with my pre-teen daughter who also thought it was great enough to sit through two or three times. I'm definitely eyeing that book.
Fantastic art and great review. However, I felt the show itself fell far short of what I thought had so much potential. I never watched the show from the 80s, but felt many of the character reactions to the various situations in the show were unnatural and made it difficult to empathize with them. Hopefully it's ok to share this opinion without being castigated.
Sadly, MotU Revelation is the biggest bullsh*t I´ve ever saw -.- I was so excited about it and then so dissapointed what Kevin Smyth has done to this beloved franchise...biggest liar and hypocrite! Well done review as always, though :)
It’s a shame because the studio does have talent. castlevania started really well, season 4 and some creative choices in season 3 were horrible though. But the animation in both series are great. With different writers Powerhouse would be a much better animation studio.
I’m just here to say that both the OGs and new blood can coexist respectfully. Weird how nerd communities foster and amplify some of the most persistent and aggressive bullying behavior. I say this here because the amount of hatred spouted at the She-Ra show and the fans of it was pretty vile, and from what I’ve seen Revelations now stands as somewhat of a victory and reward for the people who harassed fans and creators. It’s sad to see. And Im sure Revelations is a great show enjoyed by great people, but most of the time I now stay away from all things related the wider masters of the universe fandom. I know the near mint community is usually pretty nice tho, so I just wanted to put a reminder out there that we can love what we love without tearing each other down.
