Netflix has become the one stop shop for He-Man content. As executive producer and writer Kevin Smith drops the five-episode Masters of the Universe: Revolution, which continues from 2021’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Netflix has also found success with a separate, more traditionally kid-focused animated reboot of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. And while it doesn’t sound like the live-action He-Man starring West Side Story alum Kyle Allen is moving forward – at least at Netflix – the streamer’s definitely putting in work to keep the power of Grayskull shining, especially with stuff like Revelation and now Revolution, which reconsider the adventures of He-Man and his heroic pals either for a contemporary, intermediate-aged audience, or for those of us who remember when.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation
Making Skeletor scary and bringing a darker tone to the universe, which includes beloved 80s cartoon
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, made sense to both the
Clerks creator and Netflix. Plus, Orko is now cool.
Masters of the Universe, both as a toy line and 1980s cartoon, holds a peculiar place in the modern fandom economy. Those who remember it as more than just an obvious 30-minute toy commercial do so with a special fondness. Beyond key characters like He-Man and Skeletor, they hunt down mint condition examples of puntastic figures like Buzz-Off, Clawful, and Man-E-Faces, and support more modern toys from the likes of Mattel and Super7.
