the show's been over for the better part of 40 years, we know everything about all of it.
What happened to my Filmation He-man and She-ra???
- Thread starter ooo-baby
- Start date
People have forgotten, otherwise they would be introducing it to new generations to show them how good it was and how good it could be again!
Or they just don't care.
Or they know bad animation when they see it and wouldn't wish that upon their children.
Most 80s cartoons in a nutshell.
He-man's story did continue after filmation though... new adventures ..now there was a great show
New Adventures was no where near the level of Filmation He-man. It was like watching a bad sequel.
I consider He-man’s story continuing in She-ra, as her brother:

He-man and She-ra paired so well together. I wished they would have just made She-ra part of Masters of the Universe like they originally intended.
space mutant Skeletor was the goat
I loved the New Adventures toys.
I really couldn't get into the cartoon. I rarely even got the chance it was either on at a weird time or against something I was more into and I almost never saw it even being on.
I've tried to go watch it as an adult but it doesn't quite work for me. Kinda too slow and a bit dull most of the time. I DO like that Skeletor seems to be doing a weird Groucho Marx impression.
But we had a ton of the toys, like I said and they were pretty cool.
-ZacWilliam, would like to see a few more in Origins.

I’ve got ooo-baby on my ignore list. The only reason I even know these threads are still active is when somebody bumps them and I see them in the recent thread activity or last thread response on the main page.
But I LOVE the New Adventures shout outs! I’m still waiting for Mattel to give me NA figures in the Origins style (and a He-Man that doesn’t cost $40 as part of a $120 set).
Hell yeah! Loved that show as a kid -- earliest one I can remember that had an episode-to-episode continuity, though I think it took a bit to get there. I was so into it, I got my mom to make it the exception to not being allowed to watch TV when I was grounded, and it went towards the finale.
Which, you know, it actually got. Unlike the original series.
Also love Starship Eternia. I'd love to see a remake of that. Hell, even a Hot Wheels-scaled version would do me just fine.
It wasn't perfect, but I really enjoyed it, and I especially enjoyed how it was better integrated with MotU in the Classics line.
Sadly, I didn't get to enjoy any of the toys -- TMNT's pull and the last remnants of Transformers were too strong for me, to say nothing of NIntendo. But I always checked them out in the toy aisle at the various stores when my parents went shopping.
Filmation had very suspenseful storytelling like when it introduced the Sorceress’ Origin, the Horde on Eternia and Castle Grayskull’s appearance on Eternia:

It also gave us the most beautiful scene of Teela-na being “transformed” into the Sorceress and teased She-ra’s Sword of Protection:

This was an unusual, in a good way, episode of She-ra because it starts out as a He-man episode on Eternia with Man-At-Arms and then at Castle Grayskull with the Sorceress. Adora loses her Sword of Protection. I like how Filmation kept the importance of Adora’s Sword general and vague, like the Secrets of Castle Grayskull:
The Masters of the Universe Classics Bios really did the mythology a disservice by trying to explain and define everything. Subsequent writers have continued to do this which has taken away the Power of the He-man/She-ra story little by little.
