(I had this book, and a couple of others when I was a kid. Would be kinda cool if Revelation Teele leveled-up into the cobra-armor Teela)
 
Why is she wearing snake armour, if she's not from Snake Mountain?

That'd be like President Reagan (a very long time Ago) wearing a babushka in Texas on the fourth of July.

Oh!

She stole it from the corpse of someone she murdered.

What a psycho.

The sorceress totem based on greyskull magic is the falcon. What if Teela's totem is the serpent based on snake mountain magic?

Well that's certainly a different take on the subject matter...I'm not into it (it looked like a bunch of kiddie videogame cutscenes), but then this clearly wasn't aimed at me.

The new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe reboot is for a different audience and that's okay by me. It doesn't look like something I'd watch. Too CGI. More cyberpunk/steampunk than space fantasy. But I'm sure the kids will love it.
 
Final season of The Clone Wars, and now The Bad Batch, spoiled me, I'm afraid. Lucasfilm Animation raised the bar so high with it, all the other made for TV / streaming computer-generated stuff looks like dogshit to me now.

Hmm. Very revisionist, but it looks fun. Interesting that the whole team transforms rather than just He-Man and Battle Cat. And they're actually making use of the "Masters of the Universe" concept in a way previous versions never have in my experience. It's promising. It looks like it's finding entirely new potentials in the IP, which is more worthwhile than just indulging in nostalgia for an old version.

And Robo-Orko? Interesting angle.

I'd say, rather, that it's for the same audience category, i.e. preteen children, which we have long since aged out of.
 
The creative credits and voice cast of the CGI He-Man series, courtesy of io9:

The series is produced by Mattel Television and Bryan Q. Miller—who you may know from his DC Comics work or his TV resume of Sleepy Hollow, Shadowhunters, Smallville, and more—is the showrunner. Adam Bonnett, Christopher Keenan, and Rob David are executive producers and the writers include Heath Corson, Amanda Deibert, Keely MacDonald, Peter Binswanger, Lila Scott, Matt Drdek, Julie Benson, Shawna Benson. What about that voice cast? Here you go: Yuri Lowenthal (He-Man/Adam/Tuvar), David Kaye (Cringer/Battle Cat), Grey Griffin (Evelyn/Evil-Lyn), Antony Del Rio (Duncan/Man-at-Arms), Kimberly Brooks (Teela/Eldress/Sorceress), Trevor Devall (R’Qazz/Beast Man), Judy Alice Lee (Krass/Ram Ma’am), Roger Craig Smith (Kronis/Trap-Jaw/General Dolos), Fred Tatasciore (King Randor/Baddrah), Ben Diskin (Skeletor/Prince Keldor), Tom Kenny (Ork-0/RK Units), Max Mitchell (Kitty), Max Stubington (Young Adam). Take a look at the first trailer.

Grey Griffin as a villainess? I'm sold.

Some other usual suspects -- Yuri Lowenthal as the young hero, Fred Tatasciore as the deep-voiced authority figure, Tom Kenny as the comic-relief sidekick. All good, solid choices.

Things that will offend the haters: Teela is black, and Ram-Man has been gender-swapped.

I love it that Skeletor has the same voice actor as Beebo. Although it seems that Ben Diskin is doing something of a Mark Hamill impression here.

Why did you quote Ryan's post yet expurgate the part that basically said what you then said?
 
The CG show looks fun. Nice character design - they all look like, uh, toys. :lol:
