I think that if they brought Scott on board for a new live action movie and planned a serious relaunch, He-Man could be back and stronger than ever. MotU has such a deep and fascinating lore that there really is no reason it can't spawn multiple shows and projects. It's still near and dear to the hearts of us old people and kids like it today too. It's like a cooler version of Conan. It's a rich and deep as Star Wars. I'd love to see what it could be in years to come.
I found your channel by pure chance today and have loved listening to you talk about the MOTU universe, the classics line and so on. Love you videos and will greatly look forward to future new ones!
Aaah! The never ending war. Toys keep it alive... Or do they? In my story, they just went home to their regular lives to do the regular things like cleaning the house, checking the oil in their cars, buying food, watching movies, taking care of their pets and so on and so on.
@@spectorcreative1872 Yes, that is the joke, LOL ! I copied it from the Loony Tunes. It was the Coyote and the Dog cartoon. That after playing the dog guarding the sheep and the coyote trying to get some food, they end their working hours by punching the clock. They say "good bey" to each other and ,"see you tomorrow."
Too bad this didn't get a better reception. This is certainly epic- love all the call backs to the vintage lines (and a few that would have been cool to have)- including the runner up fan designs was a really classy touch too. Gotta love all the lore in this whole franchise.
Looks like Netflix cgi motu took tge skeletor idea as well. Rebirth skeletor looks just like it. Awesome video. Love learning all this stuff. I thought I knew he man but there is so much more to learn.
It would be awesome to see a film where He-Man is King of Eternia. The undead Skeletor with horns sounds really cool. A good nickname for that version of Skeletor would be Demon Lord Skeletor. This concept has some really interesting ideas in it.
Whoa whoa whoa wait a second he’s king Randore’s half brother? 😳 I did not know that. Now that makes sense. Like it? I loved it. And I was wondering about that Hero character.
I just realised that Masters Of The Universe will celebrate it's 40th anniversary next year and somehow that makes me feel older than the fact that I'll turn 42 in 20222!!!
Thank You for clearing this up, I Had the notion that Dare was the Son of Adora and Seahawk... this Story was Great, it closed some doors to the storyline and created new ones, I wish it continued.
Man...I don't know what it is, but that King He-Man design with the crown, the beard, the scar, the breastplate....it's my absolutely favorite look of He-Man. It just looks so totally badass!
Yeah it was. Those comics were awesome. Whenever Hollywood makes a Masters of the Universe film it would be cool to see them use the comics as inspiration.
Thanks again Scott for this great video. Few days ago, the Stratos, Tri-Klops and Hordak figures arrived at our local malls, the Prince Adam and Sky Sled vehicle were available here few weeks ago. I remember my first Shadows of the Empire vehicle was the Swoop bike and Swoop trooper figure. The sculpt of the vehicle and figure were awesome!
Glad to see that your channel is growing the way it is Scott as i am sure you have so many more interesting stories to tell... Looking forward to the journey that this channel will provide
Very nifty stuff! Was "Fall of Eternia" Skeletor's glowing-bones left arm and torso going to be part of the figure? That would've REALLY reignited the "Is Scare Glow a dead Skeletor?" war! 🤣
In that big splash where Skeleteen is Fighting He-Ro, who is the Red armored TrapJaw/Clawful looking guy in the bottom right behind Beastman and Evil Lyn? That's a badass design.
@@spectorcreative1872 I actually shared a video with my class the other day as the one of many examples for them to get an idea of the asssignment I wanted them to do in editing
I'm really digging Adora as a villain. The fact that a good Masters of the Universe movie/live action show our video game hasn't been made is a travesty.
I love these lore videos. Do you consider the story you crafted for MOTU classics to be in its own continuity, or a follow-up on one of the previous lines ( mini comics, DC, Filmation, 200x etc.)?
@@spectorcreative1872 Yea, I'm just going to go back and binge-watch all your stuff. I keep clicking from one link to the other anyway. Might as well do it in order!
Thanks again for another awesome video! Do you or anyone else out there have a list of which Classics figures include the mini-comics and what order to read them in? The Dark Horse mini-comic collection leaves you hanging BIG TIME and it doesn't look like they're going to reprint the rest of the Classics issues any time soon!
It seems like they're adapting some of this for the Netflix series when they mention the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor and we've seen leaked images of a large ram horn Skeletor too. Fascinating dedication you had to the line and your knowledge of comics was a great addition to the line. Such a shame you're not there anymore as you were a great champion for He-Man and MOTU.
@@spectorcreative1872 cautiously optimistic. I've noticed in a couple of your videos you spoke about sjws and I agree with you about them. Kevin Smith is a big sjw so that's quite concerning.
@@spectorcreative1872 Good vid, mucho enjoyed it. My favourite He-Man is the orignal mini-comic, but I do have a fondness for the filmation cartoon as welll.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will probably always be my favorite series especially from when I was a kid. And hearing these stories of all the adventures we never got to see after the series came to a close only further cements that for me.
Speaking of MOTU projects; this subject is kinda like the myth of a 'Robotech' live-action movie. However, there were rumours of a live-action MOTU movie and they even had a brunette dude cast for He-man 2 years ago or somewhere around that time. Do you have any insight on who's out there lobbying for a MOTU live-action flick, nowadays? A small update video would be awesome on what and who tried to bring this to fruition! Thanx man, your videos brought new life/ light to the whole MOTU-Universe!
Hi, Scott. Forgive the nitpick, but SotE is from 1996. It figured big into the release of the Nintendo 64 in North America. Not sure about you, but I look at 1996 as the final year of unity between Star Wars fans. Once the Special Editions dropped in '97, the schism noticeably widened.
It's the prototype to Goku. Way late in the series, it came out that, even though they have two grown kids and a grandchild, Goku and Chichi never kissed.
He-Man: And remember fans, Kevin Smith's woke failure on Netflix is not canon in any manner shape or form, because Kevin Smith lied. This is He-Man wishing you all Good Health and Good Luck.
Scott is very informative. Love these videos . Scott please tell me it wasn’t your idea to give us the NA characters in the classics line? They’re worthless and wish I was not forced into buying that crap.
King He man looks great. If the original chestplate symbol is used not the H. Ram head skeletor is the worst yet. Back to the original with him and his voice.
@@spectorcreative1872 Definetly. At least it continued but further from the original mark the shorter the run. The original was closest to the ancient mythologies that we subconsciously gravitate towards. When you see them all from ancient to modern as the same. Them we know he man is weak good. Hordak is weaker wicked but Skeletor is strong evil, judgment for the wickness. Not making the 3 fold distinction killed MOTU.
Man this would have definitely rocked! Thanks for sharing this sir! Perhaps it will be revisited one day now that the Masters of the Multiverse doors have been opened.
Wow Mattel won that Conan lawsuit? King He-Man!? Like King Conan. Thraka Doom sounds like Thulsa Doom. Even that picture of King He-Man on his throne looks like the ending of Conan where Arnold is sitting on his throne and the narrator says 'He wore his crown upon a troubled brow".
A message to DC and to you Scott ....I do respect you and what you have done for the Classics line , but... : Stop Killing Off My Childhood Heroes. NEVER kill off Childhood Heroes. Not even the Evil Ones.
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing. Makes me really want the zombie skeletor and resurrection keldor figures, it would be really cool to see him in translucent green.
Wow now I would love figures of all these new characters, in a perfect world mattel would bring the old crew and keep going with the classics line as you at the head. It's a pipe dream but it's always good to wish, thanks for sharing these amazing stories.
Here we go again, the blood line of the masters of the universe. This content is what gets us fans loving your channel. Thank you, great stuff. Connects the dots so we can see the whole picture.👍
Great storyline! It changes things but it keeps the original spirit of the adventures! We need more stories like that... That change over time and become different. That's why, while I love comics, I find myself not believing in large events and things that really shake the status quo.
I think now is a good time for He-man to return as there is interest in the fantasy genre as long it's handled right, thou I would keep the sci-fi elements to a minimum and focus more on the fantasy side of things aka magic and the various creatures at least to start with, bring sci-fi stuff in later on to be a game changer for the heroes to learn to adapt to!
Going to comiXology for some more could watch this all day love he mans underdog story how everything just came together through the years toys comics creators
Notice Keldor has a moral compass when he returns where Skeletor does not. Is it possible demo man while not in mental control / able to block off empathy , compassion, and so forth?
He-Man needs to skip fighting Skeletor and any other evil and kick the Cosmic Enforcers' asses instead. As long as they exist, there can be no victory.
Too bad this didn't happen, I love the look of that Ram Head Skeletor, You have the best vids over insider stories for toys on here, liked and shared as always, much respect Guru.
Great story But one thing puts me unliking it,was the origins of dare i think i have read 2 one was this version and the other one is, he was an adopted son of he man.
I think the main difficulty with giving MOTU a big retail presence again (and the current retro line isn't really a "big" presence, let's be honest) is how much it is n '80s brand tied to nostalgia. It's ultimately less adaptable than others from that period, such as GI Joe or Transformers - the styles, the character names, everything is tied to that early-'80s toy atmosphere. It's harder to "update," and because its pre-existing fanbase is so insular and nostalgia-driven, you CAN'T update the designs without pushback. So you're stuck with a very specific phenomenon from a specific era for specific people - one can think of other trends that were huge in their time and are still thought well of, but just haven't made the "epic" comeback people would expect. (I like ram horn Skeletor, BTW)
Too bad you could not merge Hanna-Barbera, Rankin/Bass, and Filmation Universes. Goltar, Herculoids, Thundarr, Mightor, Pirates of Dark Water, Black Star, Brave Star, Motu, Silver Hawks, Tiger Sharks, and Thunder Cats.
I enjoyed this story,too bad the project fell apart.Would love an open platform gaming of beeing He-Man,Skeletor and other MOTU characters in Eternia / Etheria and Space.Choosing good guys or bad guys story.
I love MOTU but a quarter into this even I got confused and lost interest, it’s no wonder why it didn’t get picked up. The original storyline was concise and fluid to follow, this is waaaaaay exhausting.... lol 🙄
@@spectorcreative1872 Ah gotcha! Imagine if it were the story though?! WHEW! Lol what a soap opera. I’m one of those rare fans that ABSOLUTELY looooove the original storybooks that came with The first issue figures. As a kid that’s how I played with the figures. I liked the show but remember seeing it for the first time not understanding why Prince Adam was even needed. I loved Teela as the green goddess and the spirit of castle GreySkull and how complicated and smart Skeletor was.
So that's where the comics got ram horn Skeletor and King He-Man from.. The writers are known for doing their own thing in a lot of adaptations, wasn't sure how much leeway they were given here. King He-Man ended up being a very small part of it though... Just a future vision of a corrupted Prince Adam who turns fascist dictator, that lasted about half a comic.
@@spectorcreative1872 Speaking of DC comics adaptations, I read through some of the mini comics, and noticed Teela started off with blond hair, switched to red in future mini comics without explanation. Now Keith Giffen's bit where his blonde beauty Teela shows up as a redhead and everyone acts confused on why she doesn't want to talk about it makes sense. :)
Why can't they keep MOTU simple? Too many maguffins and amalgamations make it hard to follow. I loved it when it was HeMan vs Skeletor, and then Hordak, along with the Snake men. MOTU kept things simple, especially the 200X (which that reboot was way better than the original Filmation version) made sense. To this day, at 45 years of age, I still go back to watch those episodes, because they are enjoyable and easy to digest. But all this stuff going on is extremely confusing and takes away from the essence that made MOTU a fan favorite when I was 7 years of age back in 1982 and beyond.
Is this story arc part of the reason why She-Ra and He-Man are now separate? If I am the IP owner of She-Ra, do I really want my star character connected to He-Man when her ultimate fate is that she is a major villain. Or was there going to be a redemption arc for Adora? As sure He-Man and Teela get together and have a kid. Skeletor and Evil Lynn get together and have a kid. But what was the end goal for Adora? Was she simply going to remain a brainwashed minion to Horde Prime? Was she going to remain a major villain? Or was the ultimate plan to have her become She-Ra again? What of her and Bo? Did they marry? Did they have children? Again while the villain character of Adora looks cool, as someone who is also a She-Ra fan it kind of sucks that she is made a villain and there really is no redemption to her.
@@spectorcreative1872 Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Was there a plan to eventually redeem Adora? Or was she going to be a villain to her brother in the similar fashion Skeletor was the villain to his brother?

Can explain who is the great black wizard?
I have a video on that in the works
@@spectorcreative1872 Thanks Scott
could those MINIS even stand under their own weight?
Sure they could!
@@spectorcreative1872 I believe you! That was just a LOT of lobster claw!
He-Man needs to skip fighting Skeletor and any other evil and kick the Cosmic Enforcers' asses instead. As long as they exist, there can be no victory.
This is the way
He thought Adora/She-Ra was dead?!?!?!
Yes. During their battle with Horde Prime
Too bad this didn't happen, I love the look of that Ram Head Skeletor, You have the best vids over insider stories for toys on here, liked and shared as always, much respect Guru.
I so wish it could have happened! Thanks for the kind words as always Jeff!
Have the Classics mini-comics ever been collected into a book like the old mini-comics?
Only issues 1-3 in the DH coffee table book. DC has the other 5. Let them know if you want to see this
Great story
But one thing puts me unliking it,was the origins of dare i think i have read 2 one was this version and the other one is, he was an adopted son of he man.
He was an adopted son in one of the unused pitches in the 80's. For Classics he was biological
Do you think Mattel will ever release a motu line as good as classics?
No.
Are the comics referenced in this video available anywhere?
They came with the MOTUC figures, usually the subscription figure. DC has yet to collect them
We need that Skelly used in the new 52!
Make it happen Mattel
How can despara get another storyline I don't get it
Well her original story was dropped and we found new ways to use her
Ka-poor-real. That’s how it’s pronounced.
I pronounce nothing!
I think the main difficulty with giving MOTU a big retail presence again (and the current retro line isn't really a "big" presence, let's be honest) is how much it is n '80s brand tied to nostalgia. It's ultimately less adaptable than others from that period, such as GI Joe or Transformers - the styles, the character names, everything is tied to that early-'80s toy atmosphere. It's harder to "update," and because its pre-existing fanbase is so insular and nostalgia-driven, you CAN'T update the designs without pushback. So you're stuck with a very specific phenomenon from a specific era for specific people - one can think of other trends that were huge in their time and are still thought well of, but just haven't made the "epic" comeback people would expect.
(I like ram horn Skeletor, BTW)
/oh yes you are right on. And with all the interest in "Big Muscle Heroes" in the 80's we just don't have that cultural backdrop anymore
Too bad you could not merge Hanna-Barbera, Rankin/Bass, and Filmation Universes. Goltar, Herculoids, Thundarr, Mightor, Pirates of Dark Water, Black Star, Brave Star, Motu, Silver Hawks, Tiger Sharks, and Thunder Cats.
And all that, done in the ThunderCats 2011 style (which already combined ThunderCats, SilverHawks, and Tiger Sharks).
My powers are only so great
blue flame Keldor
Are all the mini comics collected in Graphic novel format ? I would really like to read all these
I wish! Let DC know if this is something you want!
Ok it is time to get that campaign started, for sure. Thanks
Why would they scuplt a Clawful mini before Skeletor?
Skeletor came out in the original SDCC pack
@@spectorcreative1872 oh lol you did say that didnt you
Wow! keldor gets acid thrown in his face a lot! Sucks to be him ;-)
Its kinda his thing
Whwre can we get these comics?
They came with the MOTUC figures and DC has yet to collect them in a trade. Ask them to do it!
I got comic book guy vibes during this video😉
Ha!
I enjoyed this story,too bad the project fell apart.Would love an open platform gaming of beeing He-Man,Skeletor and other MOTU characters in Eternia / Etheria and Space.Choosing good guys or bad guys story.
Would have been cool!
I love MOTU but a quarter into this even I got confused and lost interest, it’s no wonder why it didn’t get picked up. The original storyline was concise and fluid to follow, this is waaaaaay exhausting.... lol 🙄
Well granted this is not the story that would have gone out there. It was reworked to be used to justify as many toys as possible as part of Classics.
@@spectorcreative1872 Ah gotcha! Imagine if it were the story though?! WHEW! Lol what a soap opera. I’m one of those rare fans that ABSOLUTELY looooove the original storybooks that came with The first issue figures. As a kid that’s how I played with the figures. I liked the show but remember seeing it for the first time not understanding why Prince Adam was even needed. I loved Teela as the green goddess and the spirit of castle GreySkull and how complicated and smart Skeletor was.
Where can I read these comics?!
Only the first three have been reprinted. If you want the others ask DC to reprint them!
So that's where the comics got ram horn Skeletor and King He-Man from..
The writers are known for doing their own thing in a lot of adaptations, wasn't sure how much leeway they were given here. King He-Man ended up being a very small part of it though... Just a future vision of a corrupted Prince Adam who turns fascist dictator, that lasted about half a comic.
Yup. These designs were meant for something else
@@spectorcreative1872 Speaking of DC comics adaptations, I read through some of the mini comics, and noticed Teela started off with blond hair, switched to red in future mini comics without explanation. Now Keith Giffen's bit where his blonde beauty Teela shows up as a redhead and everyone acts confused on why she doesn't want to talk about it makes sense. :)
Loved the story. MOTU is one of those lines that easily could be a 10 seasons series, interesting from the beginning to the end without fillers.
If only!
Why can't they keep MOTU simple? Too many maguffins and amalgamations make it hard to follow. I loved it when it was HeMan vs Skeletor, and then Hordak, along with the Snake men. MOTU kept things simple, especially the 200X (which that reboot was way better than the original Filmation version) made sense. To this day, at 45 years of age, I still go back to watch those episodes, because they are enjoyable and easy to digest. But all this stuff going on is extremely confusing and takes away from the essence that made MOTU a fan favorite when I was 7 years of age back in 1982 and beyond.
Hey you can just pick up the Fisher Price figures and be simple. It is totally a valid option!
@@spectorcreative1872 thats not the answer i was looking for, but oh well
I like the 2000's version of He-Man. Animation and storyline much better. Only bad thing was Skeletor got away with too much
that's the thing about a good Thrakka Doom, it'll knock the demon right out of ya!
Every time
Is this story arc part of the reason why She-Ra and He-Man are now separate? If I am the IP owner of She-Ra, do I really want my star character connected to He-Man when her ultimate fate is that she is a major villain. Or was there going to be a redemption arc for Adora? As sure He-Man and Teela get together and have a kid. Skeletor and Evil Lynn get together and have a kid. But what was the end goal for Adora? Was she simply going to remain a brainwashed minion to Horde Prime? Was she going to remain a major villain? Or was the ultimate plan to have her become She-Ra again? What of her and Bo? Did they marry? Did they have children? Again while the villain character of Adora looks cool, as someone who is also a She-Ra fan it kind of sucks that she is made a villain and there really is no redemption to her.
No, this is totally unrelated to Classic Media’s separation of the brands
@@spectorcreative1872 Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Was there a plan to eventually redeem Adora? Or was she going to be a villain to her brother in the similar fashion Skeletor was the villain to his brother?
