I Have The Power!!

I've taken a break from the Tiny Toon review to do a regular one for once. Does anyone remember the series, He Man And The Masters Of The Universe? Of course you do, and it rocked! Boys clamored for the shows and toys, and even girls were wanted She Ra toys. Still, does this hold up today? Well, let me tell you. First I'll explain a little backstory. He Man started as a comic strip, but evolved into a cartoon show. It featured Prince Adam who, once holding the Power Sword, could shout, "By the power of Greyskull!, I have the power!" He would turn into He Man, the guardian of Eternia. He Man fought the evil Skeletor, a blue skeleton who tries to control the world. Skeletor used tons on minions and magic to fight He Man, but always failed. To help Adam, there is a green (?) tiger named Cringer. The animal would turn into Battle Cat when He Man transformed. Adam also has Man At Arms, an old inventor and Royal Family friend. He develops weapons for He Man and often helps him out. Then there's Orko, a flying creature that looks like a Final Fantasy mage. He's good friends with Adam and uses his magic against Skeletor. Now let me tell you how good this show is really. Well, the animation can be good or bad at certain times. The backstory and characters are rich and full of history. Some certain people may call this show, "awkward". I disagree, and find this show great. I give He Man a 4 out of 5, for having great plot and history, but mediocre animation.
