I just saw the first season of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the new CGI series on Netflix and... not bad at all.

I was curious to see the result of this experiment, but unlike Revelations, this time I had no expectations.

The premise was clear from the start. This would be a reboot aimed at a modern youth audience, so my mind was open to all kinds of changes. Of course, this does not mean that I was willing to applaud any garbage. But to my surprise, the series ended up being better than I expected.

It's basically a reinterpretation of everything known at MOTU. Many characters have different designs and roles, at least on the good guys camp, but there are also many elements of the MOTU mythology present throughout the story, something that every veteran fan will recognize.

Some may not like the "Fortnite" style of the series, but I don't think this is reason enough to belittle it. The story is interesting and the characters are well worked. The rhythm of the series oscillates between the casual and the serious, making it enjoyable not only by a very young audience, but also by adults. In fact, some of the jokes managed to make me laugh. Point for this series, because my adult self does not usually laugh with this type of productions. You know I'm a bitter old man.

I personally really liked the Battlecat and Dark Masters designs. Maybe I am encouraged to buy a toy from this series, as long as my pocket allows it.

Well that's all I wanted to say. I don't want to reveal more details. If you are young and interested, take a look. You don't need to know anything about MOTU to understand this series. If you are a veteran, give it a try. I think it's worth.
