It doesn’t actually mesh perfectly with all the details of the original Filmation cartoon despite being a continuation. I have read lots of complaints that He-Man doesn’t show up enough, but the show was never actually JUST about He-Man, and I love how this show explores other characters and how they exist post He-Man. I also love how they tried to match voices to an extent and how they were both protective of the universe and yet also unafraid to broker change and kill off characters. Kevin Smith is clearly such a fan of the original cartoon and the characters. This is a fan homage that I think stays true to how fans of a certain age remember He-Man (but which is not what the show actually was). This is nostalgia given form.
Honestly my main complaints are that I don’t like Sarah Michelle Gellar’s voice at all and they didn’t use any of the original music, or even bury any of the melodies in the music anywhere. The Voltron reboot commits this same sin, as does Castlevania (save a single action sequence). It makes me sad that so many of these nostalgia-driven reboots somehow cannot navigate the rights, or lack the will to do so, for music elements.
Also, love they brought back Oppenheimer for a voice role.
Cannot wait to see what they do with part 2. I think my enjoyment of this tops that if any other recent nostalgia reboots.
