Is it pretty easy to get into for someone who isnt familiar with the original show?

The Popo 07/25/21 12:55:27 PM #7:	It isnt really drawing on the deepest of lores. It was a show built around a toy line to sell toys. Prince Adam is He-Man, and very few people know his secret Castle Grayskull is a coveted place of power by the bad guys He-Man and Skeletor are on a whole other level of power than the other characters, although He-Man is the clear #1 Man-at-Arms is Teelas father Thats about all you need to know. And the show will kinda get these points across as well. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The Popo posted [p:956446478] in Would I en...

I'm pretty sure most episodes ended with He-Man saving the day while his pals made a token effort.

Like I started it and they showed He Man, this green tiger monster, some wizard, and like a guy with a weird hat. Are they like powerful guardians like He Man? Itll explain everything. There are very few characters to keep tabs of in the new show, but if you want a quick recap Good Guys Prince Adam/He-Man: Protector of Eternia Man-at-Arms: Usually depicted as the #2 good guy in most battles Teela: Man-at-Arms daughter, and a warrior Orko: A mage, mostly used for comic relief Sorceress: She oversees Castle Grayskull and is powerful. Typically does not leave the castle. Bad Guys Skeletor: Main bad guy. Wants the power of Grayskull. Evil-Lyn: One of Skeletors main underlings. Heavily leans in magic. Beast Man: Another high ranking underling of Skeletor. Uses brute strength. Also, Castle Grayskull is not the royal palace. It is just on its own, out in the middle of nowhere. When the bad guys attack it, the good guys have to leave what they are doing to go defend it. Not exactly the best tactical move on their part. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The Popo posted [p:956447223] in Would I en...
