The Reptons: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Arts, Action; these combined in one way or another; Kobra Khan is seeking the assistance of Prince Adam/He-Man it is the difference between life or death for is people known as Reptons, but in his Land Shark he finds Prince Adam, a little later becomes Prince Adam/He-Man, Cringer but likewise a little later becomes Cringer/Battle Cat, Duncan/Man-At-Arms, Orko and Attak Trak; a truce is agreed upon just until this situation is over with. I wouldn't trust Kobra Khan as far as I could throw him which wouldn't be that far, but there is one moment where it looks and feels momentarily honest and true, that is until we get this inner monologue from him and just to cover my back I know he is not the only character that does this inner monologue. I really like this underground landscape of the Reptons home; it has this presentation and feel to it as this home is massive and made from likewise massive bricks or square or any shape that is required of stone of an ancient civilisation to it. Prince Adam/He-Man turns himself into a human drill, by throwing The Sword of Power up to chop down this massive icicle which is conveniently basically of a drill accessory, so with this icicle he drills all the way down into the centre of Eternia to release molten lava to restart the eternal flame which keeps the Reptons warm, so that they don't go into hibernation forever and potentially die.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it is something different which is a positive obviously, but as this was the final episode of this TV series, it would have been good to have Skeletor in some capacity. This TV program has Awards accredited to its name; 1 Winner Troféu Imprensa, Brazil 1986; Troféu Imprensa Best Cartoon (Melhor Desenho Animado.) 3 Nominees for an example; Young Artist Awards 1986; Young Artist Award Best Family Animation Series or Special.

Replacing Beast Man: Character [Character developments,] Action, Art and Comedy; these combined in one way or another. Beast Man points out to Prince Adam/He-Man where this invention by the name of The Anger Beam is [which is situated up this tree, because Beast Man put it there to begin with under the instruction of Skeletor, this device was invented by Maddok.] The reason why Beast Man does this is simply this; he wants to stay in service to Skeletor and not be replaced by this device. So Prince Adam/He-Man inadvertently takes care of this for Beast Man; inadvertently, because Prince Adam/He-Man is trying to protect these creatures and stop Skeletor from his latest scheme.

He-Man jumps/climbs up this tree to retrieve this machine, has a little bit of discussion with Skeletor and in summary it is focused on sending back this device to Skeletor, whilst they are trying to make a quick getaway in The Collector and Prince Adam/He-Man is climbing down this tree, at the same time bending it back to be used as a catapult, he situates this device in this potential birds nest, but in this case it is full of these angry bees, Maddok had sent out the beam for the is bees to be affected whilst they made a quick getaway. But Prince Adam/He-Man sends this device and these angry bees back to Skeletor; Prince Adam/He-Man hits his target of The Collector makes a hole with Skeletor, Maddok and Evil-Lyn being swarmed by these angry bees.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; after everything is said and done this episode is a solidly good episode which has a good selection of Eternian creatures for us to see and experience.

Given Spikor power boost for these games: Storyline, Characters [Character developments,] Comedy and Art; in one way or another these all combined; this race known as the Bendari The Seekers of Truth have come to Eternia, because they basically have no good vs. evil on their planet, but they want to understand it. So they have come here to pick the strongest one on either side at that time. The Rules are as follows; these competitors have to follow this very basic compass attached to their wrists [an arrow] to pick up these yellow balls and press on the button to collect 200 points, there is one red ball which is worth 2000 points and after all these balls have been collected we add up the scores to find out the winner, the evil can use anything or anyone at any time [anything goes for them.] But the good, can receive assistance but however whomever gets involved replaces the person that they are helping. Bendari comeback a day later to find for the good there is Fisto and for the evil we have Spikor. You see whilst the Bendari were away in that time period at Snake Mountain Skeletor has this invention by the name of the Evilgizer; its function is to increase the persons powers whomever steps inside it which of course appeals to  Skeletor's disciples [on a quick side note I know in the intro to this TV program it calls them the forces, but if we were to be honest they aren't his forces they are his disciples minus Evil-Lyn which she is his right hand person/General, but she knows deep down and Skeletor knows it as well that if there was a better or an opportunity to stab him in the back she would.] But I digress we have in no particular order just in case I get it wrong Beast Man,  Spikor and Mer-Man all having these massive grains on their faces as to illustrate one's they have the power they could easily overthrow Spikor. But that all changes when Skeletor points out the reason why he didn't do it is because it has side effects, so Beast Man and Mer-Man quickly bailout on the idea so they fall back to give the illusion that Spikor has stepped forward. Now either in this sequence of events or slightly later on to see this Evilgizer in action is excellent art, starting with Skeletor using his Havoc Staff,

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it has lots to enjoy, but we don't get to see any form of repercussions mentally or physically for Spikor, yes I know  Skeletor could have been either not willing to do this so he could have been lying or just lying to keep them in check so they don't overthrow him, but either way or anyway it would have been nice to have a better conclusion then the standard Skeletor getting angry thing, I'm sure that they could have put or mixed something in here.

Moss Man: Storyline, Characters [Character developments,] Action and Art; these components combined in one way or another; in this episode this new character is going to be extremely useful. But Melaktha [Eternian archaeologist] doesn't seem to like him much until he saves his life, isn't that always the way someone doesn't like you much until you save their life. But I have to say with only a small amount of episodes left, it is just a shame that [I haven't seen the upcoming episodes yet,] but for here and now we won't get to spend a great deal of time if at all with Moss Man as he has these abilities such as when he goes to sleep, he can transform into anything plant-based for an example like in this episode when we first meet him seaweed or telepathy with anything plant-based [similar to when Beast Man and his abilities to control beasts/talk to beasts using telepathy, but at least Moss  Man asks or talks nicely so it isn't a controlling relationship] and he can also transform down into vines to do get through things or move himself from one location to the next as long as he can reach with his vines to begin the transfer from one location to the next. To be honest they should have really brought this character in much, much, much so much more sooner than this episode. I mean he even helps Prince Adam/He-Man in these horrific weather conditions as Prince Adam/He-Man holds up this ship out of see so Moss Man can plug up this sinking ship they were sailing on, well I say he helps which he does, but he asks the seaweed via telepathy if they can help them plug up this whole which of course they are more than happy to oblige them, as this seaweed curls itself around and around which with round this whole gets smaller and smaller and then it puffs itself up so it will hold until they get back to the dock; this looks highly imaginative.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; after everything is said and done this mark is a suitable outcome, as I have previously stated I think they have really missed a trick with introducing Moss Man so late on in this TV series, on top of that once again I haven't seen the episodes after this point yet, but without giving too much away yet again they have missed a trick with introducing this mystical artefact [the mystical artefact is the title of this episode] way too late in this TV series, but I just want to state for here and now I hope but probably unlikely they will do something with Moss Man and this mystical artefact in the last few episodes, because if they don't there is so much wasted potential here.

Are The Gatekeeper and Zagraz The Comets Keeper identical twin brothers?: Characters [Character developments,] Blooper, Action and Art; in one way or another these all combined; now let's get down to business in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe [Season 2,] Episode 121: The Magic Falls, here is the link to this episode if you are interested https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2022/04/he-man-and-masters-of-universe-season-2.html, but in short we need this character called The Gatekeeper [voiced by Alan Oppenheimer] but lives in the mirror in this mountain he has the ability to go/take people to different dimensions. Whilst Zagraz The Comets Keeper [voiced by John Erwin;] has the ability's to control these comets, including this young one by the name of Squiggles. On some research before someone points it out, I have just remembered that Zagraz The Comets Keeper [voiced by John Erwin] hereIn the UK order of episodes; He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 83 -- 85 [Volume 1] Episode 1: The Cosmic Comet, Here is the link if once again you are interested in my thoughts on it https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2017/06/he-man-and-masters-of-universe-83-85.html. But I have slightly digress, even though I have pointed all that out in the interest of fairness and balance I have to make this point which is very valid. Back in the 1980s animated TV shows were made by cell by cell hand drawn, Which they could put in little details and the animation itself would stand the test of time, but however it was so expensive, so they had to reuse them as much as they could to keep the cost down.  Zagraz with his comets put on this performance for Prince Adam, Teela and Orko including an encore; this is all good.

The Valley of Echoes: Storyline, Art, Action and Character [Character developments] all of these components combined in one way or another; we have Orko, Teela, at this location being joined by firstly  Ram Man, then Cringer/Battle Cat and Prince Adam/He-Man in short on this rescue mission for Duncan/Man-At-Arms;  Ram Man notices these tracks and unfortunately this group has to go through this foggy and infamous location [infamous; for anyone that goes through it gets lost in it for its overwhelmingly negative impact on those that dare to tread here.] It could be a familiar voices to entice you more into its grip or for an example Prince Adam/He-Man having to momentarily face is fear when this mirage of Skeletor appears [big head/ face, a pale/vague form of his usual colour system] and I am paraphrasing here I have finally defeated you as a hand comes out to reach/our hero putting up a fight crying out No/grab/hold Prince Adam/He-Man with Prince Adam/He-Man By doing their standard super strong character thing of expanding to break free out with a cry of Noooooo! Consequently this mirage gets torn to shreds like paper.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; the highly imaginative and creativity used in this episode is why this episode receives this mark, I mean generally speaking putting the art to one side for a moment, this is a solidly good episode but as I have just referenced the art pushes this from a good solid episode to a excellent episode.

Origin of Dr. Galen Nycroft/Modulok: Storyline Action, Character [Character developments,] and Blooper; these combined in one way or another; Dr. Galen Nycroft is a convicted scientist that attempted to take over Eternia with mind control, but he was stopped and now is in prison for his crime. But he has seemingly been busy constructing this machine with assistance from his sidekick, unfortunately on a little bit of research I cannot find his sidekicks name, that has been searching for these pieces so when he is called by his master's tiny flute type of object, he is sidekick drops off this next piece or in this case the final piece of this machine, which he has been working on it in plain sight [kind of] he has to summon it to make it visible so when it is visible if an Eternian Gard happen to walk past his Cell they could very easily see this easily noticeable machine which when Dr. Galen Nycroft steps into this machine, he goes through this metamorphosis and comes out as Dr. Galen Nycroft/Modulok. Now there is just one ever so tiny [massive] problem with this and it is this; he has already appeared in this TV program before this episode as his new form in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe [Season 2,] Episode 113: Happy Birthday Roboto Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2022/01/he-man-and-masters-of-universe-season-2_17.html if you are interested in my thoughts on it and for those people that think outside of the box as it relates to this episode, it is designed to be here and now and not for an example from the perspective of a storyteller or taking two seconds to think about it, being transported back in time to find out why or how this character turned out this way, this would have been highly imaginative and would have been great to have experienced or you know something like this that would easily have made sense to overcome this blooper.

So it is up to him and Prince Adam or/and Prince Adam/He-Man to get them back. But for them to do this they need to go to this magical waterfall, but it is in a different dimension and the only one that roughly knows where it is would be The Guardian; a elderly entity which is very nice, but because he hasn't had anyone to talk to for many upon many years seems to be a little bit senile, so we have The Guardian transporting Attak Trak, Prince Adam/He-Man and Orko to these different dimensions until they find a one with this magic waterfall in. But I am much more interested in these scenes where Orko and Prince Adam/He-Man has been placed in this magical orbe [you cannot see through it; they are just protected in it]  so they travel from one-dimensional to the next with under the control/guidance of The Guardian on where they arrive at the next dimension they go back to a their normal selves, but whilst they are travelling from dimension to dimension; we have these fantastic scenes where roughly at the bottom there is this rainbow effect combining with this dark charcoal effect whilst on the top; there are these long to short cloud to fit in with this scene/sequence with this yellow/green sky with this orbe expanding when they get to the first dimensional; this is fantastic art.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; what we have here is a solidly good episode, but I had to award another mark based on these artistic elements that I have just described one example of.

When everything goes down Cringer being Cringer gets scared and runs out of their hiding place and falls down this rocky incline consequently damaging his foot he ends up in front of The Tingler, obviously shaking and being afraid he says " Leave me alone." So this creature being who he is picks up Cringer and puts him over his shoulders [to see this big character comfortable and safely carry Cringer is excellent art and sweet] to take him to his home [in Mount Fear] Orko follows them.

Outside Castle Grayskull: Art Storyline, Action and Character [Character developments:] these combined in one way or another; at the very beginning of this scene we have this camera shot of; close-up, but spanning out diagonally so it gives the illusion or aim that from where this camera angle is we have to look up diagonally which gives Castle Grayskull this ominous presence of fear or respect [which if you are a newcomer to this place it would be fear of the unknown, but respect if you are an honest character and learn what goes on here by stories you hear;] this is a excellent sequence of art to begin this sequence of events in this scene.

Skeletor with this earth made missile with Evil-Lyn with him summons this bird by the name of Screech, a cyborg Eagle [his peak head and his torso mechanical the rest living,] makes his presence known with this loud screech sound at the same time swoops down to take this missile from his master [which Skeletor holds it up for him to take it out of his hands with his claws and make the small journey across the moat without the drawbridge being down to Castle Grayskull and drop it off sensibly at the closed drawbridge; I know this is a relatively short sequence, but I really like it.

Mr Beast Man & Mr Trap-Jaw: Storyline, Characters [Character development,] action and Comedy; these combined in one way or another. Beast Man and Trap-Jaw want to go at it by themselves away from under the thumb of Skeletor, so one or both of these characters steal this amulet [it is worn around Beast Man/Mr Beast Man neck] known as the Amber Crystal of Millarca from Evil-Lyn which she stole it from these characters known as the Polti. They decide to capture Orko, hold him for ransom and use him as a slave with using this amulet Mr Beast Man casts this spell that Orko can only use his magic to serve his new masters, because if he does anything but this; he will end up on the wall in this square see through prison situated on this wall inside their new fortress.

So essentially Orko becomes like this genie character or something to that effect where he gives them what they ask for, but like a genie Orko interprets slightly differently, so for an example Mr Beast Man wants these mystical hairbrushes to brush him, so this is what he gets, but not all the time as they chased him to do their job.

Skeletor is sitting in his captain's chair in this ship as he with the look of absolute fear on his face with him banging his fists on the arms of his captain's chair saying "You fools get us out of here" to Beast Man; excellent small piece of comedy with Skeletor's eye socket looking wide and his fists as I have already said banging on his captain's chair this moment very much sums up how he doesn't want to be here anymore and be confronted by Prince Adam/He-Man again.

But don't worry Skeletor and his disciples will not face Prince Adam/He-Man and his friends again this day as Skeletor and his disciples make a quick getaway in these cryonic freeze capsules, because in a nutshell Prince Adam/He-Man held down the Collector until it ran out of fuel.

Duncan/Man-At-Arms has created this machine and it does what exactly it says in its name so Skeletor and Whiplash steal this machine literary from under the nose of Duncan/Man-At-Arms and other surrounding characters from his laboratory in the Royal Palace of Eternia, by burning a hole from underneath around this machine with this trusty Heat Gun fired by Whiplash and it conveniently lands on this [we don't have a clear view] but I'm going to speculate and say trolley or something to that effect so Whiplash can and does push it so that they can make a quick getaway.

Skeletor uses this machine on himself to create these many upon many little versions of himself better known as Skeletoids these look excellent and the same can be said for Prince Adam/He-Man and is too little clones.

Morningstar surrenders and admits to his wrongdoing, these two other Dragons want to see Granamyr deal out hard consequences for Morningstar's misdoings because it is Granamyr's right. But Granamyr shows precisely why he is the leader of the other Dragons, with his wisdom as he goes on to say " No my brothers it is my right, but it wouldn't be right, we will find a better way to administer justice now let's go home." This is all good.

The moral message is essentially [I am paraphrasing here] about winning and losing; and in this case how Granamyr in this episode when he won he let go; so winning or losing it is about knowing how to do both right.

Discovering Roboto: Storyline, Action, Art and Character [Character developments;] these combined in one way or another; we meet Duncan/Man-At-Arms and Prince Adam in this Wind Raider after this previous engagement as this signal comes up in Wind Raider so they go to investigate down below, now on foot in this Dune surroundings as Prince Adam discovers something big under the sand so instead of doing this excavation dig which let's be honest would have taken ages, Prince Adam just summons He-Man, he gets Duncan/Man-At-Arms to stand back and just blows this very powerful gust of wind to reveal this badly damaged ship.

But unfortunately on doing this Prince Adam/He-Man disturbs and consequently makes this giant crab very angry Prince Adam/He-Man on investigating this ship turns around and quickly realising with this look of absolute fear says "Duncan look out!" As he himself quickly turns around with absolute fear in his entire being as from Duncan/Man-At-Arms' perspective [top-notch camera work/art in this entire sequence] as diagonally Duncan/Man-At-Arms and we come to realise how gigantic this crap actually is with more fear in Duncan/Man-At-Arms' all-round body language, I will finish things they are because there is still a lot in this sequence of events and yes Prince Adam/He-Man does do combat with this giant crab.

After dealing with this situation; they head into this ship where they discover this pilot which is a non-functional robot so Duncan/Man-At-Arms takes the decision to get him back to his lab at the Royal Palace of Eternia to try and fix up.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it fluently has something to offer its viewers to keep them engaged in this episode from beginning to end.

“Don't do drugs": Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Art and Moral message; these combined in one way or another; this is one of those public servers episodes; in this case as I have already made reference to "Don't do drugs." This Boy of The Year; Jonno is into this flower known as The Black Nightmare, his grower/dealer Count Marzo and his muscle/sidekick Chimera [ that gets called this is just an excerpt "Stone head" by Count Marzo once in this episode.]

I just had to mention this spanning across sequence [from left to right close-up, it's like you are walking, highly detailed of the highest order, it is truly eye-catching and then you come to Castle Grayskull.] Then we have one of those fade in, where we meet The Sorceress, Orko, Cringer, Prince Adam and Teela discussing basically the next step.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; now I should clarify on reflection I was going to give this episode 5/10, because it is sent out to fulfil its purpose and it achieves that, but mainly because of this artistic sequence and other contributing sequences at some points in this episode I had to award another mark.

Now I had a feeling that they had covered drugs before so I had a quick look around and it came with this; He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 83 -- 85 [Volume 2] Episode 10: A Friend in Need Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2017/07/he-man-and-masters-of-universe-83-85_8.html Just to cover my back, there may be others as well, it just came up with this episode and there is always a possibility that I didn't cover drugs in that particular review, I may have put the focus somewhere else or whatever the reason was or is, but either way here is just one anyway. I was just thinking I would say this just in case someone pointed out in the future at some point "There is another episode about drugs which you haven't mentioned."

Guardian of the Secrets of Castle Grayskull: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Art and Action: these components combined; Kol Darr's double comes to the Guardian of the Secrets of Castle Grayskull; he looks glorious as is a mythical being located on this wall doors on each side with other smaller heads with necks in this hall in the background; but this is for the people that have seen this film Masters of the Universe 1987 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2020/01/masters-of-universe-1987-by.html without giving too much away you know when Skeletor goes gold, I did wonder where they got the idea from [I must stress to cover my back this is speculation on my part mixed in with observation] and now I know yes this character is not gold and doesn't have a body and so on but from a heads perspective and so on as it relates to this episode and film it makes perfect sense now, it just took me roughly 35 years to find this out, but better late than never. But I digress where they have this back and forth which covers the following; Kol Darr's double asks for the power the Guardian gives him the choice of this doors; choose the right one and the power will be his, but choose the wrong one and he will get what he deserves. Kol Darr's double asks which is the right one? The Guardian asks him one question why do you want the power? Which Kol Darr's double provides him with an answer. The Guardian takes a moment to consider Kol Darr's double response with his eyes closed and this yellow glow going around his head which lasts a very small moment in time, he says the test is complete and then he tells Kol Darr's double what door to go through [Prince Adam/He-Man enters the scene] and says " Wait don't do it." With your too late the power is mine speech [then opening the door to hopefully receive The Powers of Grey Skull [there is more to this sequence but I will stop there.]

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent: as I have already illustrated we get to see or meet a little bit more of Castle Grey Skull which is always cool to experience.
