Editing Masters of the Universe (section)

=Cartoons=
The basic idea behind Eternia and Etheria first evolved in mini-comics distributed with the action figures into the Filmation cartoons of the 80s; ''He-Man & The Masters of the Universe'' in 1983, and spin-off series ''She-Ra: Princess of Power'' in 1985. The basic concept of is outlined above. They were then followed by a couple of other cartoons as the years rolled by and Matel tried to rekindle the magic of the early 80s.

==The New Adventures of He-Man==
The first attempt to revive the Masters of the Universe cartoon universe came in 1990, with this single-season, 65 episode series. It abandoned the [[Sword & Sorcery]] aesthetic for a purely science fiction one, with the backstory being that the Galactic Guardians, the defenders of the far-off planet Primus, come to Eternia seeking aid against their enemies; the evil mutants of Denebria. The evil Commander Flogg, ruler of Denebria, follows the Guardians, and forms an alliance with Skeletor, whilst at the same time He-Man agrees to aid the Galactic Guardians in the fight against Denebria. This results in the two archenemies being taken from Eternia to the far-off star system of Primus and Denebria.

Unusually for an 80s/90s cartoon, this show actually had at least a semblance of a concluded story arc, ending with the seeming triumph of He-Man and the Guardians over the Mutant Armada and Skeletor alike.

At the time, the show was widely panned amongst MotU fans for the changes in setting, new art style and tweaked characters, even though it was supposed to be a continuation of the original 80s cartoon. Ironically, after seeing how Mattel revived the series in the post-2010s, fans are willing to concede that maybe they were a little too harsh about this show.

==He-Man & The Masters of the Universe 2002==

The second attempt at rebooting the series. Toned down the camp and the humor, turned up the action, improved the animation, and generally gave the classic He-Man show a more serious look without going full grimdark overload. If there was anything to complain on, it took the original campy [[Science Fantasy]] setting and played down the fantasy, but still retained all sort of magic bullshit. Was beloved by the fans of MotU who actually watched it, but was marketed absolutely terribly, so it got canned after only two seasons due to resulting poor ratings.

==She-Ra & The Princesses of Power==

2018 reboot of the original She-Ra. Immediately put fans on edge for its artstyle, which took the already contentious "CalArts Style" and deliberately cranked up the androgyny meter for all the cast. The actual show itself was initially not received too much better, with many decrying it as "She-Ra: The Tumblr Version". Instantly accused for being choke-full of [[SJW]] stuff, with people [[Derp|ignoring entirely]] what the original 80s cartoon was: [[Conan the Barbarian|bunch of half-naked, beefy men physically]] [[Gay|wrestling each other in an intense passion for domination]]. To much surprise, the series ended up holding its ground quite well despite the blunder of the first few episodes, with multiple seasons and even a movie in production, all while keeping reasonably high ratings. Guess to never judge a book by its cover.  That and the fact bitching about a kids show aimed for little girls in the first place is bound to make anyone participating in it look fucking [[Lorgar|''pathetic'']]. Though it is straight out gay ([[Meme|not that there's anything wrong with that]]).

==Masters of the Universe: Revelation==
2021 series advertising itself as a continuation of either the original '83 He-Man or the '02 He-Man. Fans were initially cautiously optimistic when they saw it was going to be done in gloriously well-defined animation all the 2002 He-Man instead of in the CalArts Style like She-Ra or [[Thundercats]] Roar. But alarm bells started ringing when character design was presented, including Teela looking ''literally'' like a guy if you remove the makeup. The alarmists sadly turned out to be right when the show aired and it immediately turned into an [[SJW]] dumpsterfire, with He-Man getting killed off in the first episode, the iconic Masters of the Universe team being disbanded and instead being replaced by Teela, Evil-Lyn and Andra (a previously white now black engineer woman ported over from the old Marvel He-Man comics), with Beast-Man and Orko as sidekicks, and Teela turning into a self-centered unlikable bitch.

Fans are split... on whether this series is ''as'' bad as what happened to [[Star Wars]] and [[Star Trek]], or if it's ''worse''. Though He-Man does return to being main character mid-season and Skeletor and Evil-Lyn becoming He-Skeletor and He-Evil-Lyn and Beast-Man becoming Battle Beast-Man.

==He-Man & The Masters of the Universe 2021==

Another remake, except in cgi, that takes a more sci-fi edge. And while there is a lot of difference to the original, it is ironically more faithful to the original. With great characters and plot.
