    Weird thing about He-man: In the original comics that came with the toys, which were written before the cartoon, He-man is a barbarian who found Castle Greyskull and then adopted the identity of Adam as a disguise and was taken in by the King and Queen of Eternia. For the cartoon they decided to reverse it and Adam took on the He-man persona.

    • @lonelyscribe3939
      @lonelyscribe3939 4 года назад +69

      Honestly, it makes more sense that the barbarian with 6 Intelligence would think his disguise is good enough to pass as a prince than the other way around.

    • @newguy90
      @newguy90 4 года назад +42

      Close. Adam was made for the cartoon, the original He-man didn't have an alias. In the original comics, He-man belonged to a Barbarian tribe called the Eternians alongside Man-at-Arms. The Eternians were the remnants of an advanced techno-sage civilization that destroyed itself millenia ago, leaving behind Castle Greyskull as a repository of their knowledge. It was similar to Thundarr the Barbarian. The Eternians scavenged ancient technology and repurposed it for their ends. He-man did not have access to Castle Greyskull because he only had half of the power sword, the key to opening the gates to Castle Greyskull. The other half of the power sword was stolen by an extra-dimensional demon named Skeletor.
      The toyline retconned its storyline through the mini-comics when it created Prince Adam and Orko toys from the cartoon.

    The backstory to the show is actually quite fun. They'd been working on a line of Conan toys. Then they saw the film, the 80s Big Arnie version. Then they had a problem. The film people thought the toy people were trying to worm out, the toy people almost sued the film people because obviously no kids were going to be buying toys of an R-rated movie. So they were already making the toy line when they had to come up with the story line.

    Prince Adam did not take off his shirt to become He-Man, the change was through the powers of his sword. Also He-Man could not change back into Prince Adam without his sword. There was an episode where the sword was thrown into a bottomless pit and He-Man was worried that he couldn't change back. Orko managed to retrieve the sword. Also remember that He-Man was a kids show so all of those powers that we may proclaim that are "silly" would not be so to kids.

      Actually He-Man's name has nowt to do with the word 'hero' - when the character was being designed they weren't sure what sort of genre he was going to be (fantasy barbarian or sci-fi spaceman) so they gave him the name "He-Man" because it could fit in either.

    This was fun! I love He-Man in all his incarnations, but I have to say my favorite was the cartoon from 02. Primarily because they gave the villains some back story, and made both Skeletor and Evil-Lyn far more relatable and less like goofball cartoon baddies. Which is sort of an oxymoron, since they are cartoon characters, but all the same, it improves the story. Also Adam and He-Man looked distinctly different, so the disguise was far more believable.
