- Hey man, it's me, Kevin Smith.
Showrunner for Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
And you probably have a lot of questions
after watching that final episode.
I'm here to answer as many of them as I can.
And perhaps tease you about what's to come in the future.
(He-Man grunting)
Death is not always as permanent
for those tapped into the realms of magic and mysticism.
If you're sitting there going,
I'm not going to watch a show with no He-Man or Adam in it,
I know a guy, and a guy told me they might be back.
Except Orko, he's dead.
As we saw, Skeletor survived.
We thought him and He-Man died in the final battle.
He-Man we know died.
He went up to Preternia.
- By the power of Gray Skull.
- And Skeletor, no sign of him there.
But also no sign of him, as you saw,
in Subternia either.
So he stayed alive by casting his essence
into Evil-Lyn's wand-staff.
The final second before everything went kablooey.
And so there, he'd been with them on the whole journey.
And every once in a while you would see a shot
where Lyn would look at her wand-staff,
we'd push in on it,
and you would hear like,
(staff glowing)
that was meant to be Skeletor.
- You don't have to do this.
- Evil-Lyn.
Absolutely one of my favorite characters,
not just because Lena Headey gives it
what I feel is like an award worthy performance
bringing this character to life.
But also because we mirror Teela's journey
with Evil-Lyn's journey as well.
You're talking about two women
who have been in the shadows of very powerful
male characters since the inception of the franchise.
And Teela, you know, fought side by side with He-Man,
definitely more of his equal.
Evil-Lyn though, was always Skeletor's subservient.
What happens in a world where the person
who helps identify that character.
In the case of Teela, He-Man.
In the case of Evil-Lyn, Skeletor.
What happens if those two figures
are removed from their lives?
Who do they get to be?
And as we see in these first five episodes,
there is goodness in Evil-Lyn, as Orko points out.
- Turns out nobody's born evil.
- But in the next five episodes kids,
it shifts into an Evil-Lyn story that is so compelling.
Absolutely fascinating, satisfying, heartbreaking.
It became my favorite part of
Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
- No, they didn't call me evil.
I added that part later.
- You know, the whole five episodes,
magic had left Eternia and that was a big part
of the problem.
The whole Fellowship was built to go out
and find the two halves of the Power Swords
so that they can reforge it,
and that would bring the power back.
Now all the powers back,
all the magic has returned to Eternia,
but it couldn't be in worse hands.
Like literally, it's in the hands of the one guy
you never want getting that sword.
And as we saw, for the first time ever,
he got to say one of the most popular catchphrases
in pop culture history by the power of grace.
I have the power.
I can't do Mark Hamill.
- I have the power.
- The story picks up right where we leave off.
So it ain't going to be like five years later
or anything like that.
And the story then pivots in this new direction
that involves every character that we've ever met,
and involves, of course, the Sword of Power,
but it's wreaking havoc, obviously, in the wrong hands.
He becomes what we call in the room, Skella God.
- Now I, Skeletor, am master of the Universe.
- It's something he's dreamed about for 40 years.
But you got to be careful what you wish for kids.
Kids, I cannot wait for you folks
to see the next five episodes.
Part one is one of the things I'm most proudest of
that I've ever been involved with.
Part two leaves part one in the dust.
Enjoy part one. I like it too.
But I've seen part two and it is astounding.
It's a magical epic. I can't wait for y'all to see it.
As soon as they let us watch.
