A Brief History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Complete with weird, strangely dark fan script for a He-Man sequel series.


Orko was my favorite.
And Jaimee was She-Ra for her first Halloween. She's always been strong.

UPDATE: I have to say, that fan script is actually a pretty decent concept for a He-Man series. The premise--superhero trapped in superidentity when what we currently need is the nonsuperidentity--isn't entirely an original one, but the unique circumstances of the He-Man/Prince Adam relationship and the political situation the writer concocts for Eternia is a pretty good and pretty original twist on it.

I'd forgotten how interesting the Prince Adam/He-Man relationship is, psychologically. Arguably more than any other superhero, He-Man is a mask Prince Adam wears (sometimes unwillingly, sometimes with feelings of inadequacy or with sadness). (When he changes into He-Man, only his external form changes--Prince Adam's interior, mental state remains his own.)

The idea that after years of wearing the He-Man suit, Prince Adam wouldn't be able to take it off is just the natural, Buffyesque extension of the concept.

PS: One must note, however, that the idea for the sequel to the sequel--Battle-Cat: Quest for Truth--is awful.
