I just finished it myself. I'm... honestly not sure how I feel about it. There are places I wish it had gone.
Guess that's all I've got for now. Solid overall. And I admit, maybe I'm not necessarily the target audience - I wasn't a He-Man fan growing up.
Some good stuff, but it still felt like He-Man was sidelined a bit more than I'd have liked. And I'd also have liked to see a bit quicker change of heart from Evil-Lyn - I think I'd have liked to have seen the version where she and the others teamed up to take down Skeletor, as opposed to making her the big bad. And while she's ostensibly "good", she also nuked Preternia. Regardless of her change of heart, that's quite the act to be responsible for, unless they wanted to somehow bring it back in a future season.
Some other stuff:
- Orko was fun. Really glad to see him show back up.
- That last scene with Skeletor was... huh. Guessing this isn't going to get another season? Maybe all my gripes would have been resolved in that.
- Teela's plot arc felt a little... easy. I'm not expecting deep thoughts here, but the whole "power of my friends" stuff really feels like it cheapened the sacrifice her mother made to obtain that power.
- Super mad crazy He-Man was interesting. Kinda wild to see him in brute strength form.
- Man, they really, really screwed Beastman over. To watch Evil-Lyn use him just like Skeletor used her was just... ugh.
- Hey, finally, Adam and Teela are a thing!
