He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

I don't think King Grayskull knew for sure what the rules were. Teela brought Preternia back, creating it herself with magic. I think Adam can rest assured at least that he is not definitely doomed to oblivion.

Good point.. theoretically Adam only gave up his ability to go back to the -previous- Preternia, as this is technically a new one, so he may be able to get back in after all.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

I suppose that would be proven if we could see if she had managed to restore all the lost souls to preternia.

Hey, she could've changed the rules while she was at it. She made it, after all.

I'm not sure he couldn't go back even if it hadn't been destroyed and remade. I didn't see anyone there that was in charge.

You're assuming greyskull was in charge of the first one, and not simply the messenger for hard coded rules. It was heaven, everyone got a giant, fancy assed castle.

I'm explicitly assuming Grayskull wasn't in charge. I think there was a dominant opinion there that it was unnatural to go back and most people wouldn't want to go back, but I really felt like they just felt like it would be too risky. I had no sense that any of that was for sure.

They're dead. Adam only got a pass because he literally forfeit his eternity in it's entirety. He was cool with evaporating completely when he dies again, because he didn't want his friend to be pissy with him.

Conversely: if he hadn't done it, he would have been evaporated anyway. So no matter what: adam's fate is predestined.

You see, my interpretation was that anyone who ever had the power of He-Man had their own little section of Preterniaand Adam was giving up his place in the VIP section and he'd have to spend eternity with the peasants.

At most I thought maybe it meant he'd walk the world as a restless spirit or go to Scareglows realm.

I never took it to mean he would just evaporate into oblivion.

They state a couple of times that spirits that wander eventually just... disappear. I think they even make a comment that not everyone makes it to preternia in the first place, which means that just evaporating is the default.

And if the options are cease to be, or go to hell: we already know how most people would choose.

So with tonight's acquisitions , I think I've regained all of the MotU that I have child nostalgia for in some form or another...and then some. Not that I've regained everything I had as a kid, but I have everything I had the most nostalgia for.

I've been wanting a Grizzlor for a while now. Sure I could've gotten the Masterforce version sooner and cheaper, but this is so much closer to the original I just had to go for this one, and I'm so glad I did.

And the actual vintage Bashisaurus! I was hoping to wait for an Origins version, but I'm beginning to wonder if there'll ever be one. And I just tested my Origins Battle Armor He-Man...he fits.

I once knew a researcher who despite having Japanese as his native language published most of his work in English. I assumed it was for a wider audience, he said it was partially that English was a good 'data communication' language as if it didn't have a specific word, you could pick one that did the job from any other language, put an explanatory after it, and you had an instant 'English' word. I thought he was making a joke, 15+ years later I don't think so anymore.

The English Language: "Nice descriptive vocabulary you have there. Shame if anything happened to it..."
