| 586 | Article | raptor | Didn't catch this myself but I remember all the backlash from not finding anything in there. Plus Geraldo had a big career in showbiz after that so it all worked out. I just remember when he got his nose broken on his show, that was so funny! | Apr 23, 2013 |  | |
| 600 | Article | Vaporman87 | An awesome article that's right in my wheelhouse. As for my favorite of the two, I would naturally gravitate toward He-Man because that is the show I watched regularly in my childhood. But I can see why, having no prior experience with either, one would choose as you have. There is a bit more creativity in the characters and stories in She-Ra, but without He-Man there would be no She-Ra. So a bit of what makes She-Ra good is owed to He-Man. You mentioned Paul Dini who was very good at making the most of what he was given. But most folks in the "He-Man" cognoscenti will quickly refer to Larry DiTillo as their favorite episode writer. He is credited with creating some of the series most beloved (non-Mattel) characters (who are just now, with the advent of the Masters of the Universe Classics series, getting their first taste of action figure love). His most famous creation being Granamyr, the oldest and wisest dragon of Darksmoke (I own the "classics" Granamyr figure and it's HUGE!). Larry also did episode writing for the 2002 He-Man series, and there he is also considered to have written some of the best episodes... especially those dealing with origin stories. Thanks for this article shakin! I really enjoyed it. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | Apr 30, 2013 | |
| 604 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think with Bravestarr, you have a lack of interesting characters. With He-Man, you could introduce new characters from the line and kids would feel invested in them simply because they had the action figure of that character. With Bravestarr, you lack that connection because of it's success was more dependent on the show as opposed to a toy line. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 03, 2013 | |
| 613 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yup. I've seen it a few times. I never thought it was as bad as people made it out to be, but it certainly left a lot to be desired. And the "re-imagining" of the characters left a bitter taste in my mouth. After having read some interviews with the director, I felt less critical of the movie. He had so little to work with, and made the best product he could given the circumstances, budget, and studio red tape. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 06, 2013 | |
| 620 | Article | Vaporman87 | I wouldn't say it was "dreadful". A bit campy and unfaithful to the source material... yes. But not "dreadful. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 08, 2013 | |
| 1189 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think much of the reason that the She-Ra series seemed to benefit from better stories and backgrounds, was that the team at Filmation had lots of time to flesh out stuff and hone their development of the property first with He-Man. I could be wrong, but I've heard that said in "He-Man" circles for years. Also... Hordak may be a step up from Skeletor, but at least He-Man only had ONE annoying comic relief. In She-Ra we get anywhere for two to four of those (Madam Razz, her broom, Kowl, and Hordak's pet). LOL | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | Sep 02, 2014 | |
| 603 | Article | shakin steak | I will keep an eye out for DiTillo episodes. I mainly recognized Dini from his credits on Batman TAS. First time I saw his name on the opening shot of a He-Man episode I was like "Holy ****!" I think that was my first clue that there is some quality in there. I've watched a few episodes of Bravestarr; so far it hasn't really grabbed me. Same with Ghostbusters. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 03, 2013 | |
| 605 | Article | shakin steak | But I lack that connection with He-Man, too. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 03, 2013 | |
| 622 | Article | shakin steak | I haven't seen the movie but I've seen some stills of Skeletor. I don't think the thing about his eyes is bad. It's like how different video game characters were in different media. Super Mario was drawn in many different styles in official print products and merch, for instance. Speaking of Mario, I've never seen that movie either. I know it's also drastically off-model/non-canon/whatever but I really want to watch both movies. | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | May 08, 2013 | |
| 1367 | Article | shakin steak | For sure, Vaporman. That's why He-Man gets the checkmark for "good guys". Bow and Razz and Kowl and those purple forest elves are awful! | New Eyes on He-Man and She-Ra | Oct 03, 2014 | |
