He-Man is finally back on the big screen after nearly 40 years.
As someone who grew up with the toys, the cartoon, and the 1987 movie, I’ve been irrationally excited for this one. But does the new Masters of the Universe actually capture that 80s toy-box magic, or is it another modern nostalgia reboot that misses the point?
What did you think of Masters of the Universe? Did you grow up with He-Man, or is this your introduction to Eternia?

04:00 Capturing the toy-line fun
06:12 Skeletor and Man-At-Arms stand out
07:19 Travis Knight’s character work
08:05 My family’s reaction
09:03 What to watch before Masters of the Universe
09:39 Post-credits scenes explained
