00:11Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this will be my full breakdown and Easter eggs references
00:16video for Masters of the Universe there's a lot a lot that they packed into this movie
00:20it references virtually every incarnation of Masters of the Universe all the different
00:25versions of the cartoons the original mini-comics the newspaper strips as well as She-Ra Princess
00:31of Power versions just because it was the first movie there were a lot of hidden characters
00:35of people they didn't get to but some of them they did feature in those post-credit scenes
00:40there have been at least five different attempts at a live-action Masters of the Universe reboot
00:45movie since the original Dolph Lundgren version who also has a cameo in this movie as a mysterious
00:51weightlifter during interviews he also said that he hopes that he can return as King Grayskull
00:55at some point in a future movie we'll see about that this movie was directed by Travis Knight
01:00who you probably remember from the Bumblebee movie in that movie he was basically doing
01:04the same thing he's doing in this movie rebooting a long-running live-action movie that was also
01:09a cartoon and also a toy line he picked up the project from David Goyer the person who
01:14wrote the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy movies and some Zack Snyder era DC movies his
01:19version of the Masters of the Universe live-action movie was going to be a little bit more in
01:23the tone of Zack Snyder like very dark very gritty He-Man very lore heavy Mattel wound up
01:29passing on that eventually in favor of this current version after the success of the Barbie movie
01:35so the Masters of the Universe movie owes a lot to the success of Barbie at Mattel is a movie
01:40they even released a doll like not an action figure but an actual doll of He-Man kind of like
01:46the Barbie dolls just like the Barbie movie this movie leans heavily into the camp in
01:52the fact he was a toy line in the original cartoon at the beginning of the movie the
01:56new Eternia theme song plays over the opening Daniel Pemberton did the full soundtrack but
02:02this particular song got Brian May from Queen to guest star playing the guitar track they
02:07actually said part of the reason for that was because the music for the movie was largely
02:11inspired by the soundtrack for flash Gordon the movie is very flash Gordon in tone which
02:16was done by Queen back in the day so that's why the whole soundtrack has vibes of Queen and
02:21Freddie Mercury but they also literally got one of the former members of Queen to do one
02:25of the tracks later in the movie they also literally use Queens princes of the universe theme
02:30song from the Highlander movie in the police also call Adam Highlander during the movie so the
02:35Highlander franchise is now canon to the universe of Masters of the Universe they are currently also
02:41in the middle of filming a live-action Highlander reboot movie with Henry Cavill another example
02:46what they're doing of Masters of the Universe rebooting a long-running giant franchise this
02:50new movie is intended to be a full-on reboot borrowing from the lore of every version of
02:55Masters of the Universe all the cartoons including the She-Ra cartoons the original mini comics
03:00the newspaper strips back in the day that was a big deep cut during the movie and the original
03:041987 movie there are a couple references to that next big Easter egg is a good one because
03:09they put Cringer in the middle of the MGM logo instead of the usual one just felt like a
03:14no-brainer we then see the planet Eternia Adam explains his backstory basic framework of the
03:20lore to his date it sounds like he does this on the regular to all the dates he goes out
03:24with Eternia is a planet that exists in the center of the universe if the Nexus of Power is
03:30created by the three primordial deities Zor the bird god who's the primary deity that Adam
03:36in the sorceress worship Ka the snake god also worshiped by the snake men they also worship
03:41Serpos another lesser snake god whose body also forms snake mountain literally that's why it's an
03:47actual giant snake it's just the frozen body of a snake and havoc the god of chaos Skeletor wields
03:54the havoc staff so its magical energy is a portion of havoc's power it's also what melted his face off
04:00when he started using the staff so technically havoc melted Skeletor's face off the actual staff
04:06was given to him by Hordak we'll talk more about Hordak later in the video when we get to that
04:10part
04:10of the movie what do you mean shadow weaver these three primordial deities create Eternia as the nexus
04:18of the celestial power the power itself basically the power of the entire universe so all magic in the
04:25universe also flows from Eternia so if Eternia the planet dies then the rest of the universe dies with
04:31it this is also the reason why he-man is so powerful he wields the power of an entire universe
04:36essentially
04:37it's like somebody wielding the infinity gauntlet during the first flyby we see a dragon here this
04:42one doesn't look like Granimir he's not the right color but this does mean that Granimir exists inside
04:47this universe we see Eternos the capital city of Eternia Castle Grayskull Castle Grayskull was created
04:54by King Grayskull the first champion to wield the power he partnered with the first sorceress who was
04:59his wife this was basically his castle and it was constructed to protect the power like this was the
05:04beginning of everything and the reason why it has a giant skull on it it's not the skull of any
05:08particular creature they just made it to look scary to try and scare off anybody who would try to
05:13break in during the celestial montage here the figure with the hammer is King Grayskull forging the
05:19power sword the metal that he used to actually wield the sword was actually given to him by
05:23Scareglow in Subternia who I think we're probably gonna see in the next movie because Skeletor's soul
05:29went to Subternia after Adam killed him he wields it calling the power fights a number of ancient
05:35villains from the lore I think we see a combination of snake men here the horde will definitely see the
05:39horde in the next movie because of She-Ra in the shot of the fright zone of Etheria in the
05:43post-credit
05:44scene maybe we'll also see some of the snake men in the sequel too then we see the sorceress played
05:49by Morena Baccarin her white look is mostly to reference the 1987 masters of the universe
05:54sorceress they don't really get into it in this movie that much but she is Tila's biological mother
06:00they have been various versions of the shows where man-at-arms was also just her adoptive father
06:04in some where he was her biological father we'll see how they explain it in this movie franchise
06:09Tila's eventual destiny is to become the next sorceress after her mother and be Adam's partner
06:14guarding the power my assumption is they won't get into that unless they make it to like a full
06:18trilogy of movies maybe by the end of the second movie the sorceress will reveal to her that she
06:23is her mother and why she kept the secret from her her whole life this is mostly because the
06:28sorceress views being the sorceress is an actual curse because she is trapped in grayskull she
06:33couldn't be a mother to Tila and Tila will eventually she thinks be trapped in grayskull so
06:38she doesn't want to burden her with this when she was a little girl there are a couple times where
06:43you see Tila pick up the power sword and carry it for Adam throughout the movie you could look at
06:48it as
06:48like a sly wink at that like she will eventually help Adam protect the power but in a slightly
06:52different way by becoming the sorceress and wielding the power that way when the camera pans out showing
06:58the statues of former champions and kings of Eternia I believe the one hoisting the sword above him is
07:03King grayskull you can let me know if you think it looks kind of like Dolph Longgren at all like
07:07are they planning to bring him back as a version of grayskull we'll see then we meet his mother Queen
07:12Marlena she's an astronaut from NASA on earth who crash landed on Eternia got married to Randor then
07:18gives birth to Adam and his twin sister Adora in the background behind them zoom and enhance you can
07:24see her astronaut helmet they never really get into it but you need like three master's degrees and a
07:28PhD to become an astronaut so she's probably like one of the smartest engineers on the planet next to
07:34man-at-arms man-at-arms is the guy who creates like all the really cool tech the weapons devices
07:39so
07:39he's technically the best engineer on the planet this is also how he creates the new body for Roboto
07:45at the end of the movie like that's how smart he is we see a tiny baby version of Cringer
07:49they did a
07:50baby Grogu version of Cringer gotta sell those toys like we want as many versions of Cringer as we can
07:55sell the funny thing about Cringer is that he wasn't originally part of the toy line when it launched in
08:001982 that was just Battle Cat that was like the first thing that they sold with He-Man action figures
08:05later when DC Comics did a Masters of the Universe comic book they introduced the alter ego for
08:11Battle Cat who was Cringer I hope Adam's not gonna do what I think he's gonna do when they pass
08:18by the
08:18winged horses on the steps that also feels like a She-Ra Princess of Power reference we meet man-at
08:24-arms
08:25played by Idris Elba his suit is accurate to the original toy line and cartoons most the major
08:30characters get a couple of costumes throughout the movie all them being different versions of ones they wore
08:35in various incarnations but by the end more accurate to the original cartoon man-at-arms is
08:41basically like the captain of the Royal Guard the Royal Guard also contain all the other heroes from
08:46the cartoons in the toy line not all of them from the toy line are featured in this movie but
08:50they
08:50do hint at some of the background there's some easter eggs and I think they're just saving some
08:54characters for the sequels like they're many many characters from different waves of different toy
08:58lines I think they play Adam here as being kind of scrawny in a weakling when he was younger
09:03as more of a callback to the way Adam in the cartoons tried to disguise the fact that he was
09:08He-Man by being more of a fool the Netflix masters of the universe did this by showing Adam being
09:13way
09:13less swole without the power so there was more of a disparity between his transformations Travis Knight
09:19also said that he wanted to have a bigger distinction between Adam and He-Man after he calls the power
09:24later you visibly see his muscles grow a lot we meet young Tila she's a couple years older than Adam
09:30which is why she's giant next to him him trying to talk no jutsu his way out of fighting her
09:36in the
09:36yard is also to set up the whole subplot of him being the understanding version of He-Man who doesn't
09:41like to fight and even tries to give Skeletor a chance to become good later it's also why he goes
09:46into human resources specifically later on earth we meet his father King Randor played by James Perfoy he's
09:53barely in this movie at all and they do confirm that he dies later so Marlena will just rule as
09:58queen by
09:59herself for the foreseeable future when he walks away in the background to the helmet on the statue
10:04looks a little bit like man-at-arms helmet from the 1987 masters of the universe movie Skeletor's
10:09forces attack and we've got a ton of rotons collectors they even have ships that are inspired
10:14by the starship attorney from the new adventures of He-Man and Fright Flyers pretty much everything
10:18here in this part of the movie you could buy is a toy Skeletor's minions are called the evil warriors
10:24in the original toy line we get some of those not every single one from the original toy line
10:29in some mixture of the ones from the 1987 movie too they're calling these people Skeletor Knights
10:34there's Triclops, Spycor, Karg who was in the original 1987 movie Beastman and Goatman Goatman wasn't
10:42from the original cartoon he debuted in the 1985 masters of the universe story secret of the dragon's egg
10:48so this is also one of the examples of how they're pulling from all over the masters of the universe
10:53canon not just the toy lines of the cartoons but also some of the stories the original mini comics
10:58and even the news strips then we meet some of the heroes they only have a couple of them in
11:02this
11:02movie there's Ram-Man, Mekanec, Fisto they also introduced the bit later that they were all named
11:07in this universe by Adam when he was 10 years old so these aren't their proper names but they were
11:12their names during the original toy line man-at-arms then loses a fight against Trapjaw and when the
11:18sorceress teleports Adam to earth with a sword i think that's a reference to the cosmic key from the
11:231987 movie because it was all about them portaling back to earth we also learn in this movie that
11:28they've since developed jump drives by present day that allow them to open wormholes across space kind
11:33of like Thor in the bifrost this movie is also totally very much like Thor Ragnarok and they borrow
11:38a lot of the plot from Thor Ragnarok with the hammer breaking and the twist of Thor's power in
11:43Adam's storyline where Thor never needed the hammer he always had the power just like Adam never needed
11:48the sword the power was always inside him then we meet Skeletor played by Jared Leto they said that
11:54Jared Leto was on set every day with motion capture dots and they just put the skeleton face on him
11:59with
11:59visual effects later that's it i finished of course my lord when i raise my fist like that i'm done
12:05all of his jokes his whole performance leaning into camp was meant to be in the tone of the original
12:10cartoon series and Alan Oppenheimer's version of the character he has a couple good cackles in this movie
12:15they don't really get into the Keldor lore for his backstory in this movie but he is Randor's half
12:21brother we'll see if they do that in future movies Hordak wiped Skeletor's mind when he gave him the
12:26havoc staff so Skeletor doesn't know that he's Randor's brother and Randor also doesn't know that
12:31Skeletor is his brother Keldor he remembers Keldor but because he has the skeleton face he doesn't look
12:36like his brother you could look at him putting the crown on his head as a reference to this he's
12:41Randor's older brother making him technically the rightful king of Eternia he's also from the
12:46blueskin gar race that lives on Eternia we'll see if we get more of them in the sequel too
12:51then we meet evil Lynn played by Alison Brie when he raises his fist on the ground next to him
12:57you
12:57can also see an easter egg for merman like i said we also see him in the background of a
13:01post-credit
13:01scene with orko just standing around the marketplace at Eternos so maybe more merman in the sequel too
13:07when young Adam holds up the power sword for the first time the power crackles through him just a
13:12little bit and when Marlena says never forget where you came from this also feels like a She-Ra
13:17reference Adora was stolen by Hordak as a baby and forgot who she really was where she came from
13:22until the events of the post-credit scene when she gets the sword of protection and stops calling
13:27herself Force Captain Adora up to this point since she was a baby she actually thought that Hordak was her
13:33father presumably the sorceress helped fill her in on some of the backstory in the truth about her
13:39past Adam loses the sword mid-flight to earth and it lands somewhere else in America and he lands in
13:44Oklahoma City presumably he was raised in foster care there because he says he's always been from
13:49Oklahoma City and i think part of the joke with the sword is that somebody working at Mattel in this
13:55universe maybe Mark Taylor himself found the sword and it inspired him to create the Torak character
14:00that they then turned into a toy line because the Torak character was based on Mark Taylor's original
14:06idea for like this new franchise that he was going to create that then got turned into He-Man and
14:11Masters of the Universe eventually so it sounds like in this universe that Mark Taylor at that
14:16version of Mattel just wound up running with that idea like Mattel made that Torak line part of the
14:21idea with the creation of the He-Man character in Mattel back in the late 70s early 80s is that
14:26they
14:26wanted to do a line of Conan toys but they couldn't get the IP because of the big success of
14:31Arnold
14:31Schwarzenegger's version of Conan so Mark Taylor came up with Torak in this barbarian looking design
14:36but it was too much like Conan and they didn't want to have legal problems so he wound up changing
14:41that into what became the first version of He-Man when he goes back to his apartment his roommate is
14:46watching the notebook i don't know why they use this movie specifically in this but we've got all kinds of
14:51pop culture posters around their house there's a zelda poster there's a lot of other pop culture
14:55items that have nothing to do with masters of the universe in the toy store later in the movie too
14:59when he goes into his room there's a drawing of ram man and all the drawings of toys and characters
15:04are meant to have been his when he was younger some of them seem like they're inspired by Mark
15:08Taylor's original concept art and a lot of the drawings are really just versions of swords in the
15:13power sword some of these in the background are a little too blurry to make out but if you can
15:17pick
15:17out some more just write them below in the comments the whole reason why adora is not in
15:22his childhood drawing of their family is because he doesn't know that she exists his parents never
15:26told him about hordak stealing her when they were babies to spare him the pain of losing her back in
15:32the day during the original cartoon shira was also retconned into his backstory because they didn't
15:37create her till later and it was in partnership with filmation like hey we want to create a tv series
15:41for little girls let's create the shira character now we have to write her into adam's backstory
15:47he winds up learning about her for the first time during the secret of the sword movie
15:51him driving the old beat-up yellow car felt like a travis knight bumblebee callback although it would
15:56have been way cooler if he had adam drive an actual classic yellow camaro i'm gonna guess that mattel
16:01and hasbro couldn't work out a deal on that so like no camaro in this movie none of the earth
16:06office characters are from the comics but they do say the words i have the power and they use this
16:11for like the meta payoff at the end of the movie where skeletor's inside his mind inside this office
16:17it's not a good look for human resources
16:21the whole he him pronouns joke is just meant to be a reference to the he-man name because his
16:26name is a
16:27literal pronoun which they also make fun of at the end of the movie and canonically now this adam gave
16:33himself the name he-man when he was 10 years old then at the gym we get our big dolph
16:37lundgren
16:38cameo his dialogue is also a joke on the reboot of he-man in the live action movies he says
16:43you took my spot because he was the he-man before this advice for the new guy no you get
16:48nothing
16:49like that's it that's all you get and he says good journey and gives him the sign that they were
16:53giving during that 1987 movie then he goes to the toy store to find the sword and it's called the
16:59freight zone ashira hordak reference in the skull is a skeletor reference like they're foreshadowing a
17:05lot of things here all these blonde wigs and some bobs also feel like he-man references nicholas did
17:11wear a blonde bob wig to do the what's going on meme for the actual press tour but not for
17:17the actual
17:17movie on the shelf of comics next to them is a reign of superman blue cover variant i actually
17:22collected this back in the day like i just spotted did the meme in the audience like i remember that
17:26the death and return of superman is actually the first run that i followed in the comics
17:31before that all i'd ever read were like spider-man comics a lot of the toys and items in this
17:37shop are
17:37from different sources but most of them like most of the big ones that the camera focuses on
17:41are mattel toys from some classic era first big one here is the big jim action figure which was a
17:48failed toy line that mattel did right before masters of the universe in the big jim toys in
17:53playsets and vehicles in the tiger are here too the big jim tiger is also a huge easter egg for
17:58cringer in battle cat mattel reused their big jim cat toys that they didn't sell repainted them
18:04added some armor to make them battle cats a lot of times toy manufacturers will do this if they have
18:09a lot of unsold inventory from like one particular toilet they'll just repurpose it and turn it into
18:14something new from another toy line all the astronauts here are major matt mason another classic
18:20mattel toy way before my time but some of you watching this video might be old enough to have
18:25collected these back in the day or like the big jim toys the anime mecca also feels like a deep
18:30cut
18:30voltron reference into the japanese anime that inspired it but i can't remember specifically
18:35mattel coincidentally also did the toys for voltron and the amazon studios that made this masters of
18:42the universe movie also made a live-action voltron movie they're releasing next year with henry cavill
18:46so brace yourselves for all kinds of classic voltron nostalgia next year as the camera spins around
18:53on torak here more on him in a second in the background you can see some classic x-men 90s
18:58action figures a bunch of other ones from the rocky movie there's even a yoda figure in the glass case
19:02too but we get a bunch a bunch of torak easter eggs like i said he was mark taylor's original
19:08creation
19:09that eventually turned into the he-man design for masters of the universe so the idea in this universe
19:15is that mattel just went with the torak idea and that became the toy line not masters of the universe
19:20but it was inspired by the real power sword from real masters of the universe because in this
19:25universe those characters are all real really good example of that like on the poster here it says
19:30sword power a play on the power sword then the police arrest him the next day and on the freeway
19:36four non-blondes what's up song starts playing and he literally says what's going on as the reference
19:41to the meme they actually did the meme a couple times for the press tour beast man attacks because the
19:47minute adam touched the sword yesterday it set off a magical beacon that evil lynn and skeletor detected
19:52and the sorceress and the heroes who sent tila also to get him along with beast man to get him
19:57we meet camilla mendez adult version of tila in the costume she's wearing is a combination of a couple
20:03of tila's outfits from the cartoons from various points and later winds up wearing a more comic book
20:08accurate version they fly off in a talon fighter from the original toy line which has an ai personality
20:16like i said pretty much every vehicle in this movie was part of the toy line all the play sets
20:20all the characters do for the most part 15 years have gone by since the beginning of the movie and
20:26skeletor has since been using the survivors on eternos as slave labor and basically kept the king and
20:31queen locked up in snake mountain in their dungeon waiting for adam to touch the sword so they could find
20:37out where he was it was one of the reasons why skeletor was lying in stasis on that special pedestal
20:42like semi-hibernation just waiting for signs of adam in the power sword before he actually did anything
20:47because that's all he really cared about then we meet pig head he wakes up skeletor and as he walks
20:53to the throne he passes by a bunch of skeletons of creatures i couldn't quite tell which ones they
20:58belong to you can let me know in the comments if you think you do i already explained the origin
21:02of
21:02snake mountain it previously belonged to the snake men who worship surpost who was frozen and like his
21:08giant head is snake mountain that they just live in the reason why you don't see any snake men in
21:13this movie for the most part i think there may be some drawings of them in the background but you
21:16don't actually like physically see them running around is mostly because they were much stronger
21:20in the distant past of eternia and they've since been killed off for the most part not entirely but
21:25mostly there are a couple moments where it seems like evil in gets a little cozy with skeletor here
21:31but she mostly serves him out of fear and her real goal is to usurp him and take his power
21:36for herself
21:37like that's what she really cares about then we meet the rest of the royal guard heroes including
21:42moss man and the woman is dion she's actually a super deep cut for the original newspaper comic
21:48strips that were published in the mid 80s probably like the biggest deep cut of the movie like there
21:53are a couple big deep cuts in the movie too when adam says he saw fisto fighting goblins in the
21:57past
21:58i believe that's meant to be a callback to the classic cartoon then we meet the next new character
22:02roboto in this movie universe she was created by man-at-arms as a war droid
22:06then modified to do housekeeping she's voiced by kirsten wig i was really surprised by that
22:11and later in the movie also gets a more cartoon and toy accurate appearance with the clear chest plate
22:17then we get our big scene of adam calling the power for the first time and transforming into he-man
22:21while he fights trapjaw he makes a joke too about where his clothes go after he transforms he's not
22:26sure if they come back which they do eventually the words he says are the same words that they said
22:32in
22:32original cartoon in the toy line by the power of greyskull i have the power if you zoom and enhance
22:37on the runes around his breastplate it reads whosoever unlocks the secret of greyskull unlocks the secret
22:44of the universe so it feels like a reference to thor like he was worthy wield the power of thor
22:49kind of
22:49thing when they're being chased he flies a sky sled which is also from the toy line in the classic
22:54cartoon
22:54pretty much all the characters on attorney of the vehicles were part of original toys r cartoons
22:59that you can now buy on ebay or mattel also sometimes sells new versions of them randomly
23:05they're also selling movie accurate versions of all these toys and vehicles now too
23:10when skeletor kills moss man you can look at this as a callback to the netflix masters of the universe
23:15more recently where he basically does the same thing adam has his next vision of the sorceress who
23:21appears to him in her bird form it's the only way that she can leave castle greyskull is in bird
23:26form
23:26i think the reason why she doesn't give him clear instructions throughout the movie entirely is
23:31mostly to help him learn how to be the champion and wield the power on his own there's a little
23:36bit of
23:36teasing of adam and teela's romance they only ever actually got together later in their timeline during
23:41the netflix masters of the universe series their previous cartoons just hinted at their relationship
23:45skeletor also has done this projection trick many times before but this particular one feels mostly like
23:52callback to the 1987 movie we get another shot of the sorceress in bird form flying to snake mountain
23:58with them as they approach adam also says the dialogue from the intro of the original cartoon
24:03i am adam prince of eternia defender of the secrets of castle greyskull prince of eternia defender of the
24:10secrets of castle greyskull during his big fight scene here with the evil warriors you see him wield more
24:16and more of the power throughout the movie he progressively uses more of it and we see him shoot
24:21a bolt of lightning out of the sword ironically this is also what it looks like when he transforms
24:25cringer into battle cat his most powerful moment in the movie is destroying the havoc staff with his
24:31bare hands using the power the only problem here is that he is weak to magic which is why evil
24:37lynn can
24:37freeze him but he is able to eventually break free of her magical trap when they throw him in the
24:42dungeon we
24:43meet adult cringer and his mother is back she and his father were kept here for the last 15 years
24:49when skeletor flies back to castle greyskull they're flying in the collector ship which is also a big
24:54thing in the classic toy line adam and the others break out of prison and they play queens princes of
24:59the universe from highlander mostly for a joke here but it is also paying off the highlander joke from
25:04earlier in the movie when they fly back to greyskull the ship that adam and the others are on is
25:10based
25:10on the starship eternia from the new adventures of he-man we get a really big battle cat joke when
25:15cringer jokes about wearing armor saying next time he's going to wear armor and adam literally calls
25:20him a battle cat the only bummer of this movie with cringer is that we don't get to see adam
25:25actually transform him to battle cat we just see him after he's become battle cat then the whole
25:30reason why skeletor has not been able to call the power using the sword is because the sword was never
25:36the source of power it was adam himself the power was always inside him like i said thor ragnarok
25:40thor was not the god of hammers the power of gods was always inside of him but he winds up
25:46shattering
25:46the power sword with the havoc staff and then they get super meta when he goes into adam's memories just
25:51to mess with him and this whole sequence got a lot of laughs in my theater first in the gym
25:56when he
25:56says beef cape barbarian this is also a deep cut reference to his original backstory originally he-man was
26:02supposed to be from a barbarian tribe and you could think of it also as a conan reference since conan
26:06the barbarian was the main inspiration for this character then they go on the date again then the
26:11human resources and you notice skeletor is wearing an id badge with his picture on it skeletor also
26:17impales him with the sword almost killing him pushing him into his final vision of his earth
26:21apartment then i think the reason why his friend puts the picture that he drew of the sorceress on his
26:26chest specifically is because the sorceress herself is controlling the vision at this point to give
26:32him the pep talk and it's why she can appear to him in human form because it is a vision
26:36she's not
26:37outside of castle greyskull you also notice in his room on the wall there's a nasa space shuttle that's
26:41also a sly reference to his mother being a nasa astronaut he then uses the power to heal his wound
26:47and reform the sword which i don't think we've seen a lot of in the previous cartoons like him
26:51actually using the power to heal his major wounds he tries to talk no jutsu skeletor who declines
26:57and when he says he loves being a villain like that real funny moment here it's also kind of a
27:01callback to the classic series where skeletor did something similar saying he doesn't want to be
27:06good he wants to be evil then they get really anime with his beat down during this last part where
27:11he
27:11just lays into skeletor destroys the havoc staff with the power and the resulting explosion kills
27:17skeletor he's not really permitted though because in eternia when you die your soul either goes to
27:22subternia or pre-ternia so skeletor is just chilling out with scare glow now in subternia
27:28the only bummer here with his death scene is that his last words weren't until next time
27:33we get a time jump of six months they've largely rebuilt eternos from skeletor's damage
27:38the sorceress does another flyby in bird form his mother marlena is ruling again as queen by herself
27:43now because his father is dead and everybody has way more cartoon accurate costumes including rubato
27:49they do that weird laugh that goes on for way too long as a reference to the classic filmation
27:54cartoon and they do the bit with him giving himself the he-man name clowning on that
27:59they also reveal he brought his friend to eternia to prove that it's real presumably he took him home
28:04right after this after he was helping the avionians the distress call from the avion village is a
28:09reference to stratos i think we'll see him in the next movie now to begin the festival when he runs
28:16off to change in secret and change cringer to battle cat it also feels like a reference to the
28:20classic series in the original series nobody but like a few of his closest friends knew his secret
28:26but in the movie pretty much everybody knows that adam is he-man you could also look at this as
28:31a joke
28:32that he technically gets naked every time he transforms and he doesn't want everybody to see him naked all
28:37the time while this is happening they also play a little bit of the classic masters of the universe
28:42theme music and we get our final shot of he-man and battle cat during the first big mid-credits
28:48scene
28:48we get orko which is a reference to the psas from the classic cartoon which one of the characters
28:53would shout out the moral message of the episode recap the plot oriko also flies in hat first then
28:58appears magically out of his hat just like the cartoon he wasn't from the original toy line he
29:03debuted on the cartoon series first then they started eventually selling toys of him in the background
29:08of his scene too you can also see merman just standing around in the marketplace talking to
29:12people so maybe more merman in the next movie when the rest of the credits play they have all the
29:16characters in graphics depicting orko in a roster with them along with gwildor from the 1987 movie
29:23canonizing him to this movie universe so i think this is also confirmation that orko had joined the
29:28team at some point in that six month time jump maybe gwildor too we'll see about that during the big
29:33shira post-credits scene this is the one everyone was going crazy about in the theater she's on etheria
29:38calling the power with the sword of protection for the first time so i think what they're saying here
29:42is the sorceress somehow got her the sword before this and she's becoming sheriff for the first time
29:47about six months after adam becomes he-man for the first time she's looking at the fright zone
29:52so hordak will be the main villain of the sequel he's skeletor's master and rules the horde hordak also
29:58wants the power and was secretly using skeletor to get it for him when she transforms they also play some
30:05of her theme music from the original cartoon so i'm assuming the plot of the sequel will be a
30:09little bit of the secret of the sword even though they sped run some of that already with changes and
30:14hordak trying to take the power from them in a big team-up finale with the two of them by
30:17the end
30:19originally adam took her the sword of protection during the secret of the sword crossover movie and
30:24that's when she became sheriff for the first time we will see how they meet for the first time during
30:28the actual movie whatever the sequel winds up being if they meet as he-man and shira for the first
30:33time
30:33or they meet as adora and adam for the first time but even though she has the sword of protection
30:38i
30:39don't think that she knows that adam is her brother and adam still doesn't know that adora is his
30:44sister so i think when they meet for the first time they won't know that they're related the actress
30:49playing shira in the scene actually posted her scene online and explained what she was doing she's
30:55a model so i don't think that she's meant to be like the permanent version of shira in the actual
30:59sequel travis knight also said that he already has an actress in mind to play her if they do a
31:05sequel
31:05so you can let me know in the comments who you want to play shira in the next movie during
31:10the final
31:11post-credit scene evelyn is still inside castle grayskull after everyone's left picks up skeletor's
31:16skull and takes it from grayskull back to snake mountain saying you've looked better my lord and you
31:21hear skeletor's cackle in the background i'm just assuming logically that she did this right after they
31:27walked out of grayskull so this is six months before the other part of the end of the movie
31:32so like this happened a while ago and she's been in snake mountain with the skull for a while
31:35ruling over snake mountain in his absence because his soul is in subternia either she's going to try
31:42and resurrect him with some help or they'll just leave him in subternia for a while or that'll be
31:46part of some other subplot we will see but it just seems like he will eventually be back and i
31:51wouldn't be surprised if they also have him betray hordak and help he-man and shira defeat him at some
31:56point like the enemy of my enemy is my friend and really hordak is the big main villain of the
32:02entire masters of the universe lore so there's a whole lot happening during the movie i tried to
32:07hit up all like the real biggest references to all the lore and all the different incarnations
32:15what'll probably wind up happening if this movie doesn't do well enough amazon will eventually do
32:20a sequel in a couple years but it'll just be straight to streaming because they just did the
32:24live action voltron movie with henry cavill that's already going straight to streaming they're not
32:28even going to put it in theaters so they would probably just do the same for masters of the
32:31universe eventually probably going to be at least three years minimum before we see that sequel even
32:37if the movie does do well everybody post all your reactions in the comments below and let me know what
32:42you want them to do with the sequel movies and characters like shira i've already done that much
32:47longer video for the post credit scene so i'll link it at the end of this but if you have
32:51any other
32:51special requests for bonus videos or easter eggs or questions about what's happening with shira in
32:56the future or the sequel just write them in the comments below everybody click here for that and
