Thanks for all the compliments! This was the first He-Man episode I boarded, and I tried to make it as fun for me as possible. One in a while I would crank up the song "Dragon Attack" by Queen as additional inspiration...!
Hi Don, it's fantastic knowing that you've checked out some of the videos on my channel! :) - I'm a HUGE fan of your storyboards (you and I have actually crossed paths on two occasions...VERY briefly) - The first time I was aware of your work was back in 1998 when Robert Lamb began praising your talents - Actually, there's a six part interview with Robert in which he speaks very highly of you, and his time at Filmation - ruclips.net/video/L285M2Nby3I/видео.html - I'll respond to your other comments...:)
There have been some VERY good cartoons in the decades that followed...but the sheer amount of GREAT/ICONIC cartoons in the eighties was something rather special! :)
One of my favorite episodes of Season One and I haven't watched it for a few years. This was a lot of fun to enjoy it yet again with your commentary. Love your channel!
I look forward to watching these episode commentaries after I've watched the series again. He-man and the Masters of the Universe is so precious to me, and because of that, I've only watched the series once in it's entirety. Too much of a good thing and all that...
Another awesome deep dive into He Man. Thanks James. Anyone else notice at 930 Skeletor's thumbnail seems to switch from ontop of his fingertip to below it?
How did I miss the notification for this? I have to go through my subscriptions and get rid of the ones I really don’t need. But excellent commentary as always. I will never get tired of them.
Thank you - I'm working ahead of schedule as I type this and have already started recording episode commentaries for 2024...I may have recorded an episode commentary about a certain circus-themed episode of He-Man...:)
Yah, this ep is also in my top ten. I still always find it funny that in the show, the Sorceress is outside the castle in her human form more often than not! Even the first episode of She-Ra has her outside in her human form, with only Origin Of The Sorceress giving her a way to be out and about but only for that one episode, as you know the Crystal of Allenar is never heard from again!
I think it's only a few of episodes from memory..."Teela's Quest", "The Shaping Staff", "The Mystery of Man-E-Faces", "Return of Evil", "Origin of the Sorceress", and the flashback you mentioned in "Into Etheria"...okay, that DOES seem like more than a few! :)
@@cerealgeekTV trying to remember off top of my head, but I think there's a few more too.... I'll have to rewatch both seasons tonight after I finish off another scene from my 4K reproduction of To Save Earth (Flash Gordon).
I think she can be in the vicinity of Grayskull to stay in human form. I am glad that when the Sorceress action figure was released, the included minicomics finally did away with that weakness.
@@Rocket1377 According to what she keeps on saying, she can't keep her human form outside the walls of the castle... though the majority of the times in the above examples, she's far far away from the castle not just on the bridge or in the doorway.
I always feel like this one has the vibe of a season finale, of course back then, quite a lot of 80s cartoons with choice exceptions (TMNT, Transformers, Thundercats) didn't have finales, but the stakes are raised considerably high here, with Grayskull taken, Sorceress helpless etc, and both protagonist and antagonist even infiltrate one another's base of operations in this one.
Brilliant episode. The scenes used in the sticker album always stand out to me. I’ve still got mine, completed, and a few extra stickers, though for some reason I punched a hole into the corner of em all.
One of my favorites! For years this was one of the few episodes i had on vhs and watched it countless times. Even when the DVDs came out I watched it a lot.
I'm 99% confident that this episode was released on VHS all over the world - Much like "Dawn of Dragoon"...some of those earlier episodes received a lot of VHS releases! :)
@@cerealgeekTV I think the vhs I have is actually the one with the evil masters of the universe intro too. I remember so puzzled by that line back then!
@@cerealgeekTV I don’t remember when I first learned the history of the line, but your intro here absolutely jogged my memories of watching that vhs. I was disappointed when it wasn’t on the dvd!
Completely agree - As I type this I'm thinking to myself, "Could this have been turned into a two part episode?" - I mean, could you imagine the first episode ending with Skeletor's laughing face over the castle?! :)
My favourite part of the episode was the transformation sequence. I wonder how it would play out if the rocks fell on He Man if he was transforming back into Adam and Battle Cat was there aswell.
Yeah, it's interesting how the power of Grayskull protects Prince Adam here during the transformation - I'm still fascinated by the scene, because it's almost a throwaway scene...and yet it feels SO important! :)
Jitsu should have become a regular in the series. They could have given a great backstory for him and created great episodes with him. He's one of the few characters that weren't used in any of the future incarnations of He Man such as MYP and Revelations either which I found odd.
Yeah, I would love to have seen the character return - One of my favorite uses of the character was in the German Interpart Masters of the Universe comic which saw him as a loner of sorts wanting to prove himself stronger than He-Man! :)
This was one I had on tape. Good times. I hadn't actually thought about how more comedic the show got after this but you're not wrong. One aspect I did notice was that Skeletor stopped going after Grayskull and spent more episodes attacking the palace. Which in turn probably made more kids want a playset of the palace over Grayskull XD
Yeah, she appears outside of Castle Grayskull in "Teela's Quest", "The Shaping Staff", "The Mystery of Man-E-Faces", "Return of Evil", "Origin of the Sorceress", and the flashback seen in "Into Etheria" - I think it's just that the writers weren't always in the know, and/or certain things were conveniently forgotten about...:)
Amazing as always! Talking about wonderful HM episodes here comes a selfish request: I'd love to watch a commentary to "Not So Blind". I think that it's an extremely underrated episode 😊 Keep up the amazing work!
I would have never spot that foot but now I can't unsee it.😁Watching He-Man shouting the words in the stock image, it would have add something even more cool to this, which is one of my favourite transformation sequences. First of all bc we see it from a different perspective and only the silhouette, which is quite suggestive, second bc it gives a little of a thrill watching him buried by the rocks when you don't know yet if he has already the power or not, and third bc this is another of those little revealing hints the series where we learn that when he says "By the Power of Grayskull", he's already an ustoppable beast! Another nice episode, James.
4:15 I always thought the whole thing in the Cannon Films movie where it's implied that everyone on Eternia is a vegetarian, and Teela has never apparently even SEEN meat on a bone and doesn't understand what it is. But then Man-at-Arms DOES know what it is. They're clearly eating meat here in the cartoon. Is Teela just really sheltered, or did the rulers of Eternia ban everyone from eating meat right before she was born? I guess it's good that Battle Cat isn't in the movie, since, as an obligate carnivore, he would've died of malnutrition. Or I guess he could just hunt for his own food. But clearly Teela has never seen him eat or else she would know what bones are. (And after hearing about one of the tigers in The Beastmaster dying after being anesthetized so they could paint it black, it's probably for the best that Battle Cat was left out of the movie. Penny-pinching Cannon probably wouldn't have provided the best care for a tiger and something similar could've happened.)
Yeah, given the direction Cannon Films went in with that live action movie, Battle Cat would've probably stuck out like a sore thumb! :) - And yes, we definitely don't need any more dead tigers on movie sets...
It’s like jitsu’s only appearance practically (I feel like you see the character in group shots at one point too but could be wrong); it’s awesome to see the dude though
Hi again, James. I rewatched this episode last year, but even I didn't notice that Beast Man was initially portrayed as a potential traitor or usurper to Skeletor's throne since that subplot was scrapped later throughout the series. Now I wonder how Beast Man would have overthrown Skeletor down the line. Also a shame that Jitsu only made one appearance in the series. At least fans have his Masterverse figure to look forward to.
Yeah, Beast Man, in those earlier-penned episodes, he's a henchman...but he has ulterior motives - By season two and the end of the series he was a goof...:(
Great video of an all time great episode. I like the feel of this episode a lot. Kinda dark. Also you have a great voice for narration. Would be cool if you could do an unsolved mysteries theme episode of this genre. Keep up the good work James
Thank you - When I listened to this commentary back, prior to me uploading it, I actually thought I sounded kind of awful...BUT if you (and others) enjoyed it, that is all that matters! :)
The crystal that the sorceress mentions in the origin story of the sorceress allows her to maintain her form and power outside of grayskull for a little while right...?
Well, bear in mind, that crystal didn't exist at the writing of this episode...so the rule was that the Sorceress was never able to remain in her human form outside of the castle - When Straczynski wrote "Origin of the Sorceress" (for the 1985 batch of episodes) he created the Crystal of Allenar...:)
Granamyr (had to look that spelling up) and Tiamat are probably the most iconic dragons of my youth (with the Herculoid's laser-eyed pet and comic's Fin Fang Foom distant contenders). But even the generic ones of Filmation still stand out and make me wish Filmation had swooped in and either gotten right to continue AD&D or do similarry inspired one. The tech in this series was cool and all, but I'd really have been all in for a full on sword & sorcery series. And yeah "He-Man" was just a mocking term for muscle-brained or macho-types (Little Rascal's "He-Man Woman-Haters Club" always echoed in our heads until getting use to this character).
Fin Fang Foom is awesome - I remember reading Thor back in the eighties and not knowing who he was when Walt Simonson brought him back...only for him to then be revealed as the Midgard Serpent - After that, I checked out as much Fin Fang Foom as I could! :)
I walked away from the official He-Man RUclips channel back in...2015 - In September of last year I launched my cereal:geek channel which showcases my love for many cartoons of the eighties! :)
@@cerealgeekTV I'm definitely following. I liked watching that channel with your commentary, and I can safely say I'll enjoy this one. (I think one of the few other channels I follow that deals with my childhood is "Knight Rider Historians.")

Thank you for reviewing this episode in particular!
It's a CLASSIC! :)

I've never thought of it like that, but "The Dragon Invasion" would've made for a great season finale! :)
Dragon magic at GraySkull, is quintessential in my Masters movie storyboards, (that still collect dust). I put some freeze ray guns in there too.
You can't go far wrong with dragon and freeze rays! :)
Brilliant episode. The scenes used in the sticker album always stand out to me. I’ve still got mine, completed, and a few extra stickers, though for some reason I punched a hole into the corner of em all.
That sticker album...it's one of the best that Panini ever produced (and I had a lot of them back in the day)! :)
Skeletor is by far my favourite villain of all time. Alan's voice work is a huge part of that.😄

Great episode commentary james. the dragon invasion was the first episode i remember watching back in the 80s.
It's one of those episodes that is absolutely unforgettable! :)
Classic episode.
Well done, James. 😎👍
Thank you...it HAD to be done! :)
@@cerealgeekTV looking forward to more He-Man commentaries
I have a few more He-Man commentaries planned for this year...as well as some She-Ra commentaries! :)
This is a great ep. This was in my opinion one of two eps where skeletor was able to control greyskull for a long period of time.
It is indeed a classic! :)
What about the Sorceress appearing in Widget Woods in the Mystery of Man-E-Faces? Always wondered if that was blunder.
