What do you think of the new He-Man animated series? Let us know in comments. The new cartoon will undoubtedly change parts of that mythology. Mini-comics that came with the Classics action figures later revealed the Snake Men as the creation of the Unnamed One, an evil member of Orko’s race of Trollans. Only the 2002 cartoon depicted King Hiss on TV. The recent She-Ra and the Princesses of Power used Tung Lashor similarly. Filmation’s Lou Scheimer found that concept inappropriate for children, so he simply repurposed the snake characters Tung Lashor and Rattlor as members of Hordak’s Horde in the ’80s She-Ra cartoon. Hiss looks human, but tears his skin off to reveal a mass of snakes. Typically in Masters lore, the Snake Men, led by King Hiss (or Hsss) are the founders of Snake Mountain, and conquerors of Eternia generations before Skeletor.

Vehicles take a turn toward the familiar with the appearance of Rotons. Other familiar characters debuting with a new spin include an older Man-E-Faces, a black Stratos similar to the MCU’s Falcon, and gender-flipped Mosquitara. In Skeletor’s search for the Sigil of Hiss, we see the likely debut of the Snake Men. Particularly in the nerd-level debate at the end over whether the good guys should be called “Masters of the Universe” (per the 2002 cartoon) or “heroic warriors” (as the toy line had it). In the new He-Man season 2 trailer, we can see that at work. Yet it’s clearly done by fans with deep knowledge of the material, who simply went with a new take. Breaking Bad is nothing without Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - the third show to bear that name - changes many aspects of the story. It’s ironic that Masters of the Universe fans seem to have gotten angrier about the show that made minor changes to the mythology ( Masters of the Universe: Revelation) than the one that does a more major remix.
