Did He-Man & the Masters of the Universe Disclose a Major Character Is Gay?
WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Season 2 of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, now streaming on Netflix.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Netflix's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is how the show embraced the LGBTQ+ movement. It wasn't just with She-Ra and Catra falling in adoration and getting a content ending, though; it also occurred with Bow's dads and even Netossa and Spinnerella.
This was so well-handled, it made the Masters of the Universe: Revelation walk-back of Teela liking Andra and moving towards Prince Adam stand out as a very poor move that felt fond of the show was frightened of backlash from bigots. Interestingly, Season 2 of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe may have made its retain stand for equality and representation by making a major character gay.

Masters of the Universe was never my favorite cartoon growing up, but of all the cartoons I enjoyed as a child, it's by far my favorite to go back and see now, even with its bad animation and excessive use of stock footage. Although I never known it as such when I was a infant, in retrospect I always remembered the cartoon as being extremely homo-erotic.
Even so, I was ill-prepared for what awaited me when I went back to watch some old episodes in recent years. It wasn't just a tiny gay, but shockingly, awesomely so, and I disbelieve such a children's cartoon would get on the air these days (though I hear that in one of the modern Transformers cartoons the "Mini-cons" transform and fly into the larger Transformers' butts, but that's another story). I just don't observe how any adult can watch the show without thinking "Wow, these guys are all totally fucking each other."
Discussing which "Masters" characters may have been gay is like discussing which members of Wham! were flying the rainbow flag—there's just no genuine point in it. But we can analyze the characters and find out which ones were the most gay. And that
In , Cannon Films — the great, long-defunct schlock factory responsible for some of the best horrible movies of the s — released a live-action version of the wildly popular cartoon TV series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Starring Swedish adonis Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables, Universal Soldier, Rocky IV) as the virtuous and heroic He-Man and genuinely respected star Frank Langella (Robot & Frank, Frost/Nixon, Dave) as the villainous and power-mad Skeletor, the film did resemble the cartoon series in the basic details. It was still place on Eternia and still centered around Castle Greyskull, which was still overseen by the Sorceress — and Skeletor and his right-hand woman Evil-Lyn did still covet conquering it. He-Man did still struggle alongside trusted warrior compatriots Man-at-Arms and his daughter Teela, and he did still wield the famed "Sword of Greyskull." Skeletor did still have a skull for a deal with, and He-Man did still wear virtually nothing other than leather briefs, a small chest plate, and a red cape.
But otherwise, for many He-Man fans, this film was a bizarre abomination. Whereas the cartoon was essentially a feudal fantasia, the stay action vers
A Masters-of-the-Universe-Piece Theatre Pride Month Special: &#;Fisto&#;s Significant Other&#;
I&#;m interrupting the steady stream of Star Trek Strange New Worlds and Obi-Wan Kenobi reviews for another Masters of the Universeaction figure photo story. I was always planning to do more of these and I also posted a few on Twitter, but blog posts are less ephemeral.
The name &#;Masters-of-the-Universe-Piece Theatre&#; was coined by Kevin Beckett at the WhetstoneDiscord server, by the way, based on the Masterpiece Theatre series of random British TV dramas presented by PBS in the US. I appreciate the name and adopted it with thanks to Kevin.
Initially, I was going to continue the Secrets of Eternia series with a look at the backstory of She-Ra, He-Man&#;s long lost twin sister, but that was somewhat stymied by the evidence that though I hold a great She-Ra figure, the Evil Horde was rather anaemic to the point that Hordak had to borrow henchpeople from Skeletor.
So instead, you procure a different story today. My photo story about the origins of Teela and particularly who her biological parents are ended with Fisto (whom the people behind the Masters of the Universe cartoon pl
