Mattel’s original Masters of the Universe children’s cartoon premiered in 1981 and remained on air for seven years. The story throughout the series revolved around the main protagonist He-Man and his quarrels with the main antagonist Skeletor on the planet of Eternia. It engaged its audience with its mix of science fiction and medieval fantasy elements. Following its success, it spawned several action figures, comic books, and video games as well as a spin-off series called She-Ra.
Look forward to revisiting Netflix’s adaptation once more this March.
