News He-Man anime series from Kevin Smith coming to Netflix

Does that mean Adam was also the son of the Sorceress, or was Teela Randor and Marlena's daughter?

If Teela is older than Adam, which is implied, Randor could certainly have banged the Sorceress before he even met Marlena. She might have unknowingly been pregnant at the time she became the Sorceress, although she was definitely the Sorceress by the time she gave birth.

I think the 2002 version implied that Fisto is her father, so, Man at Arms is her biological uncle.
 
Teela thinks Adam is effeminate, seriously that's a lot of pink

I read once that before WWII, pink was considered a masculine color because it was a shade of red, while blue was seen as gentler and more feminine. For some reason, that got inverted post-war. Although tough guys were still seen wearing pink as late as the 1970s, at least going by how Charles Napier dressed when he played a thug in a Rockford Files episode.

There's a myth that Filmation characters were often in colors like pink and purple because the director was colorblind, but in the recent Star Trek: The Official Guide to the Animated Series, a Filmation artist clarified that color director Irv Kaplan chose those colors on purpose because he thought kids liked bright, vivid colors.

Not buying it.
 
I don't speak imdb. Is this good?
I'm not sure either, does that mean it's the most popular at IMDB or outside of that? Like is the page being hit a lot and/or getting a lot of reviews, etc or does it mean people actually watching it, viewership an so on?

It just means that the show is popular on their site (page visits, searches).

I would say that it definitely reflects general interest, though.

IMDB I think is linked with amazon, not netflix, so unlikely they'd have any data other than people who are searching for it in search of the answer to "I wonder who voices orco".
 
I should still point out that this ("Out of the Past") is my favorite episode of the series. Very beautiful and bittersweet. Filmation may have given the Sorceress an origin story, but it never delved this deep into the character.
 
Randor married a foreign commoner.

The rules about who a royal can marry can't be so strict, unless Marlena lied about who she was, what she was and where she was from.

Did she claim to be a god?

In the 2002 show he was a commoner too. It was a theocracy under the rule of the elders before him. So from that perspective there is no guarantee that Adam would have been king. Someone else could have been picked to rule, even Marlena.
 
People criticising the new Teela's muscles for being unrealistic obviously never saw the poor woman's waist in this episode. Oof.
