New Adventures Skeletor is actually the best version of the character but only a couple dozen people ever watched the show so nobody knows this.
I have actually seen the show and know what you're talking about.I don't know if I like him more than the original but he is incredibly entertaining in a very unique way for the character and his frank delivery really works well with his more manipulative personalty in this iteration of the series. It's a shame there's this mentality that there can be only one ideal version of an iconic character because this is an excellent alternate depiction. It's also funny to me that he just gets an upgrade resembling an alternate toy part way into the series and he just... keeps it for the rest of the series. Not something you usually saw villains doing back then.
took you 30 seconds to come up with this contrarian opinion with zero justification huh OP?could have put a little more effort into it3/10
>>154058456>contrarianLearn a new word, faggot.
>>154058477why learn a new word when the one I used fits perfectly?
>>154058509Because it doesn't fit. An opinion is not "contrarian" simply for diverging from the majority.
Skeletor wearing a cheap tuxedo as part of a plan to ambush the good guys at a minion's wedding was the highlight of the series.
>>154058116New Adventures is honestly REALLY fun. Its not breaking new ground and is still flawed, but its enjoyable with plenty of good episodes. And yes, it has the best verion of Skeletor
>>154058531it is when it's not genuine.
>>154058116I think it would have been better if He-Man in this series was the son of the original prince Adam (now king) and teelaand Skeletor was actually the son of Skeletor
>>154058477I find it very ...perfunctory
>>154058757It's over-hated because it changed so much, managing to alienate a lot of 80s fans while not creating many new fans, but for anyone who can just look past all the changes and the Not Muh, it really was a good fun action cartoon.Filmation Skeletor is just so memorable and iconic that I'd hesitate to say anything else is "the best version", but New Adventures Skeletor is a worthy successor. Skeletor is usually the best thing about any iteration of He-Man, if you've got a crap Skeletor you've gone impossibly wrong.
>>154064240>Skeletor is usually the best thing about any iteration of He-Man, if you've got a crap Skeletor you've gone impossibly wrong.I wonder, HAS there been an MOTU show or any media with a bad Skeletor?
>>154066491maybe the old movie
>>154058456>contrarianNo, true contrarians don't watch any of the series they criticize.
>>154058456>nooo you can't like this because i've decided that the majority hates itWhy is 4chan like this?
>>154066491kevin smith;s
>>154064240yeah like, its VERY different, but its still entertaining and shockingly funny at times.
>>154058116Campbell lane was an amazing VA
>>154058456Most people who watch New Adventures think Skeletor is the only good part. Not a hot take.
>>154066530No, Frank Langela just deciding to do an award-worthy Shakesperean performance in some low budget sword and sorcery film is pure kino and makes the whole viewing experience worthwhile.
The badguys were good in this show, but the good guys felt so plain compared to the original cartoon.>This is jet guy. He pilots jets.>This is water guy. He has a diving helmet.>Check out boxing guy! He punches people.
>>154058362Honestly thought that was a screencap from the Toxic Avenger cartoon.
>>154067324>What is love?
>>154067337Skeletor and Crita actually become a couple, believe it or not
>>154058741that's such a fun episode
>>154058116OP if you're still here, would you recommend people watch this show?
>>154068213I'm not the OP, but I wpuld recommend it. Its nothing amazing or groundbreaking, and it really doesn't have that much to do with He Man, but its fun and entertaining and has some surprisingly funny writing. Also Skeletor steals the show.
>>154068213Yes. Dic obviously outsourced the animation to some cheap overseas studios, but the writing is surprisingly sharp and the characters are fun. It's not a 1:1 continuation of the Filmation series, but its a good show on its own merits.
>>154068335this wasn't DIC
>this had more episodes than the 2000s version what the fuck
>>154068369>JetlagHuh. I always thought it was DIC because I saw a lot of the same names in the credits and they did every other tie-in cartoon at the time.
>>154068402buying cartoons in 65 episode batches was the style of the time
>>154068402This was syndicated. The 2000s version was made for Toonami.
Anybody wanna draw some New Adventures fanart?
>>154064240>Skeletor is usually the best thing about any iteration of He-ManI know it's common for villains to steal the show but no one does it as consistently across different versions as Skeletor. Maybe Dr Robotnik/Eggman.
>>154068537Skeletor is just almost always written well
>>154067047Langella understood the assignment.Skeletor self-identified as evil in the cartoon (and I think also mini-comics). That's not normal human psychology. So how does Langella make sense of this role he's hyped to do for his kid? Have Skeletor speak poetically as the prophet of Evil, like a reverse Zoroaster.
>>154069161So the anti-Christ basically?
>>154058531>he man>majoritythere's fewer he man fans across all iterations than there are transwomen in the vice president's closet
Garry Chalk was a good He-Man in this show
>>154058116I honestly love the different voice and personality they gave him. Very sarcastic and insane
>>154058116>Its Contrarian Time!
>>154070196its the truth
>>154066530MYAH!
>>154058456>took OP only 30 seconds to make this insecure faggot seethe for all to seebased OP
Anyway, New Adventures is good and its a shame its so obscure
>>154066885Netflix He man deserved better
>>154068412maybe you're thinking of the DIC GI Joe series
>>154058362I'm glad they changed his design
>>154058741>Dude>It's a fucking wedding. >Wear a shirt.
>>154074365He Man hates Skeletor in this show so much its great
This is the most attention I've ever seen this show get on /co/
>>154058362I think the animators must have preferred the new design.
>>154067389Skeletor is a ladies man.
I wonder how the series woyld have turned out had Filmation never gone bankrupt. It's a shame nothing ever happened with that 1996 pitch from Lou Scheimer about Adam and Teela's son where Evil-Lyn walks around in a slingkini.https://www.he-man.org/he-ro-son-of-he-man-bible/
>>154075638whats cool is that its not like a Joker and Harley Quinn type romance. They genuinely respect and love eachother and Skeletor actually asks Crita for advice at one point with his evil schemes.
>>154075676Man-E-Faces looks like a Batman Beyond character.
Shit I think Mattel took this off of their free youtube thing. I never watched it but I love how retarded Sagitar the half man half man half man centaur is. And the eye all guy is cool.
>>154077059I think you can find it in HD on youtube still
>>154067129That's fair, it's absolutely a cartoon carried by the bad guys and He-Man himself, the other good guys are just kind of there.>>154075611I think EVERYONE preferred the second Skeletor design from New Adventures.>>154075676Sadly I doubt that would've been allowed to make it into a cartoon even in the 90s.
>>154078120We can always dream.
>>154069204Have you seen Donald Trump talk? Nothing like Langella, that's a shit comparison.
>>154079427>Drumpf out of nowhereObsessed.
>>154066849Nah, Revelation may have its fair share of fuckups (mostly fixed in Revolution) but He-Man & Skeletor's characterizations are fine.>b-but muh Evil Lynn TRICKERY.Lmao, incel.
>>154078120Sagitar was a good character on the heroes side I thought
>>154058116He looks stupid.
>>154078120aren't most of the He Man shows carried by the bad guys and He man?
>>154075676Filmation must have been disgraced when they team up with "that japanese animation company that animated shows in the 90s but you can't say because HE will show up" when they did their Zorro cartoon and when He Man got outsourced to Japan with this sequel show, which btw, I didn't like.
I uh...I prefer this He Man to the filmation show actually.2003 is the best He Man cartoon though
I'm honestly surprised that most of the responses here to New Adventures are postitive.
>>154085903Well like a lot of things that were hated on back in the day because they were different, the people who were there at the time have moved on. I assume most people posting here weren't old enough to have watched the original show at the time and so they're looking back retroactively without any nostalgic attachment to the original show.
>>154085995I watched the show for the first time in 2024
>>154084807hot damn
>>154058116his voice is awesome
