8/10
This is absolutely great for what it is
23 July 2021
I'm not usually early enough to write a review so before people get busy giving 1s and 10s let me tell you something.

Keep your mind open and expectations low. This franchise has failed before because people wanted more than it could offer.

This series had me rolling my eyes just a hair at first. It's not going to be the kind of reboot you think.

I loved it. I grew up with this cartoon and the toys and I loved what's been done here to set a new standard and break away from the old molds.

Kevin Smith did a great job balancing each aspect of the show but building on the mythos.

I watched it for nostalgia and didn't expect much but for what it is this is a fantastic iteration and I can't believe it got better with each episode.

I really thought I'd end up dissappointed but now I'm angry it feels so short and who knows when we'll get a season 2.

If you enjoyed Castlevania I'd compare it very favorably but less adult oriented. It's family friendly even I'd say.

Please don't give it a 1 when it doesn't immediately go the way you had thought. This is some serious character building for a known commodity in the animated space.

Loved it and would rate at 7.6 but I'll round up since it's damn near impossible to make He-Man and not be corny in 2021 while staying true to what I remember as a fan.
