Skeletor is a lovable villain, but in the same cute, sympathetic way as Robbie Rotten or Team Rocket. Skeletor's lair wound up being "Snake Mountain," and we eventually find out that Snake Mountain really belongs to another villain entirely, who didn't even know Skeletor was squatting in his pad. Skeletor didn't even get the place with his face on it. Somebody else's skull themed castle, mind you. No matter what schemes Skeletor might have cooked up, he was still an exiled loser trying desperately to break into somebody else's castle and failing catastrophically again, and again, and again. They're already looking like apples and oranges, and I don't even know how, or if, some of my favorite characters will factor into the new series at all, but it feels like a great excuse to review some of my favorite cartoon villains during my favorite time of year, and by the time we're done, I hope you can appreciate why I would consider these guys worthy of a Halloween feature.īy now, memes have taught almost everyone that He-man fights a hilarious skull headed man named Skeletor, but in classic children's cartoon fashion, the stakes never felt all that high. Personally, I think it looks pretty competent and like something I'll probably enjoy.but admittedly in a very different way from the original cartoon. Of the two shows, it was She-Ra: Princess of Power that captured my heart the hardest, and if you haven't heard, it's receiving a Netflix reboot in the coming year, as controversial with unpleasable fans as every other reboot, sequel and spinoff to ever happen to anything in the world.
When I finally saw either of these series as an adult, I was immediately struck by the fact that The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh had scarier, more intense, more violent and frightening moments than anything in Filmation's Masters of the Universe continuity, and subsequently struck by just how much I was sincerely loving each and every wholesome, innocent, ridiculous second of it. Can you believe even children managed to take He-Man and She-Ra almost dead seriously at the time? That even adults raised a stink about the supposed "violence" and "occult mysticism" of these cartoons? So small that I wasn't really "allowed" to watch scary, intense, violent and frightening Big Kid cartoons like this masterpiece.
I was born smack dab in the prime of the "Masters of the Universe" phenomenon.but I was small. Stop EVERYTHING you're doing and watch this clip immediately:
