Started watching the He-Man episode, which has been even more interesting (and varies quite a bit from the "they did it because they couldn't get the Conan license" story I had heard). Additionally, it's kinda neat because I recognize a bunch of the guys they're interviewing (like Dave Vonner)... although it's weird because it lists some of their creds as "Masters of the Universe Classics" when they disco'd the line in 2015 or 2016 (at which point Super 7 began to produce things that Mattel either owned or licensed)

The funniest part was that both the comic and cartoon -- allegedly -- both sprung from one of their marketing guy making promises on the spot when pitching to retailers who were going to carry the line (first bringing up the comic and then, when TRU pointed out that the line was for ages 5 & up (who were unlikely to be able to read) he said they'd be doing two one-hour TV specials.... which after they approached Filmation turned into a season of a full cartoon since it wasn't much more expensive)
