Was she ever a real goddess?

Yes. She has been the avatar of the Goddess.

...

Why is she not wearing any clothes?

...

The Eternians are an alien barbarian culture. They don't wear much clothes. It's like asking why Dejah Thoris or Red Sonja are not wearing clothes.

...

So masturbation purposes, I get it.

Nope because Etenian men are wearing the same or less clothes than the women. It 's an alien planet. Different cultures. religions and habbits from Earth. It's not that every planet out there is puritan like our own.

Anyone else digging Super 7's 3.75" He-Man figures?

The He-Man/Thundercats crossover is pure metal, adrenaline-full awesomeness. For sure the best comic that DC pubblished, alongside the Flintstones, since the Rebith relaunch! The last issue has one of the best swordfights, that i' ve seen in comics! I really hope that they continue after the mini series ends.

That's a lie. Why do you have to tell lies, user.

Wasn't it hinted at that Teela was the Sorceresses daughter, meaning Man at Arms had an enchanted booty call at some point?

Lyn has always been much smarter that Skeletor, even in the movie she could see that things were about to head south and left when her boss was at the height of his power. She took stock of everything going on and saw that the chaos would cause Skeletor's plan to fall apart.

Indeed. Duncan and the Sorceress were together. After Teela's birth, he hinted the truth from her, until the right time would come and Teela eventually would take her mother's place after her death.

>Wasn't it hinted at that Teela was the Sorceresses daughter,

It's gone through a few different versions since MOTU never had a consistent canon, but basically yes.

Originally Teela was a magical clone of the Sorceress created by Skeletor.

Then she was the biological daughter of the Sorceress and an unnamed deceased father, given to man-at-arms to raise.

Then she was the daughter of Fisto and the Sorceress, Fisto being MAA's brother in that cartoon.

Actually that's not true. Evil-Lyn underestimates Skeletor. It's not only that Skeletor is extremely powerful wizard as much as an intelligent and a tactical mastermind, which allowed him to triumph against extremely powerful adversaries like Hordak, Mumm-Ra, Superman etc, it's also that he knows Lyn very well, since she is with him from his very early years, so he learn very well to nut trust her. Like in this case here. Lyn is very good to scheming against Skeletor, but the problem is that Skelly always has his eyes and ears open waiting her next move, and the result is that at the end, he always discovers her plots against him, with not good results for Evil-Lyn.

In the 200X cartoon originally was about to be Fisto, but then the writers changed idea and leave to be hinted that Duncan was Teela's biological father. There is the scene at the end of the episode "Out of the past", when Sorceress told the story about her relationship with an amnesiac soldier and the outcome at Duncan, she said "that the child was Teela, your child". Duncan answered "you mean my adopted child" only to receive silence as an answer from the Sorceress, leaving open the possibility that Duncan was indeed Teela's biological father. And later in the DC MOTU canon Teela is officially the biological daughter of the Sorceress and Duncan.

I never got into this universe, but saw a few pages of the She-Ra/MoU comic reboot a few years ago. There was an evil blonde lady with short hair that made me diamonds.

Which is pretty retarded, desu. The message with Teela was that it doesn't matter who your biological parents were, you could still have good foster parents. And that was Duncan.

Depends of how you see it. I always loved Duncan and Sorceress's relationship, and having Teela as their biological child, give them a chance to be the actual Grayskull family. Personally i prefer to see all 3 of them as family.

That was Despara, i.e. Adora during her years as the Horde's Force Captain.

They never had a relationship except in some of the modern stuff. Sorceress had no special friendship or anything with Duncan in the old canon(s).

Many things are different from the old canons. Originally He-Man was a barbarian tribesman, there was no Prince Adam, Teela and the Sorceress were the same character and so on. Things change and the characters as much as the relationships between them evolve from one canon to the other. It's called Multiverse. And MOTU is a Multiverse.

Why do so many 80s heroines wear leotards? Not that I'm complaining.

Jeez, is there anything more depressing than the concept of a 'multiverse'? Just a license for writers to do as much retarded shit with the characters as they like and if it doesn't stick they shrug and say 'multiverse' before collecting their paycheck.

I need more of her

In case of MOTU there is not other way to work. The canons are so conflicted since the very first mini comics, that there is no other to make a coherent story of them. The multiverse in MOTU works because otherwise any writer would have a headache if trying to include everything. And your statement is very simplistic there is no writer on Marvel or DC or planet Earth anyway, that is not paid for his work, unless it's doing it as a hobby.

...

Is this connected to the last He-Man series or is it a new continuity?

For what we know so far it's a standalone story, closre to the 80's canons of both He-Man and Thundercats. But the solicitation of the final issue is hinting that the entire Multiverse will be influenced.

Sounds good, thanks.

"HE-MAN/THUNDERCATS #6

The epic series comes to the only conclusion possible: all-out war against Mumm-Ra and Skeletor! He-Man and Lion-O confront the diabolical duo in the heart of the magical, mystical Castle Grayskull, but the battle royal quickly expands across the multiverse itself!"

Tim Seeley is a big MotU fan. DC, let him write the new book!

Tim wrote the first 3 mini comics of the modern Classics era. They were actually pretty good.

Yeah, I saw them in the mini comic compilation. Very nice, that explanation of animals and weapons fused together.

Not surehow I would have felt about fisto, unless they actually gave him some character outside "hey, I was captured one time and beat the holy hell out of several of skeletor's minons in an arena one after another."

Not knocking the guy, I just barely remember him and MAA has been her dad so long in its history it's hard to care for the change.

Catra. Beast-form makes for a nice bonus.

Anybody else unhappy about how Adam chose to rule as "King He-Man" in the comics, instead of "King Adam, son of Randor"? Kinda sends a bad message about being yourself. That's like hating yourself so much, you choose to stay in Power Ranger form full time, permanently disavowing your own identity.

...oh shit: Power Rangers vs He-Man!!! Somebody make this shit happen!!

Fisto wasn't brother of Man At Arms in the 80's canons. Apart from his feud with Jitsu, nothing was known of him. He became Duncan's brother in the 2002 cartoon. But apart from some rumors back then, he was not associated with the Sorceress, neither in the cartoon or the comics. But he remained Duncan's older brother since then.

In the DC comics at the end of the Eternity he ruled as King Adam not King He-Man. He married Teela etc. Only in the Classics he was known as King He-Man, holding it as a title.

That would make her the avatar...not the goddess.

>Adam
>Battle Cat
????

In the previous DC MOTU run, Cringer could remain as Battle Cat, even when Adam was not He-Man, since he was now fully grown.

Is He-Man/Thundercats a continuation after Eternity War?

Teela, was at first the name of the Goddess, (who was the pre-Sorceress concept). When the Sorceress as the bird lady we know her was introduced, the Green Cobra armored Goddess was abbandoned. But the Teela action figure still hold the Cobra Armor and the Warrior Goddess title, since this was how she was conceived and produced. When the DC comics had Teela finally taking her mother's place as the Sorceress, she transformed to the a design that basically is the Green Goddess of the first mini comics.

From what we know it's a standalone story.

But the solicitated end of the crossover hinted, that maybe there is more to it.

Why hasn't He-man had a reboot tv series or even movie recently?

Not counting anything before 2005, I'm talking about the current trend of rebooting nostalgic franchises on a mainstream scale.

They can't find a way to do it that wouldn't suck. They would have to water shit down from the dc comics (actual killing and blood? Hell no!), and change so much that it would be nonsense. We go to battle with bladed weapons and guns to...disarm our opponents and let them run home to try again tomorrow. If they bleed, we've failed.

This. I think there were talks of a new movie but I don't think it went anywhere.

Don't give them ideas. Considering the state of DC TV reboots chances are we'd get something along the lines of TTG or Super Hero Girls.

For a cartoon they could use the 2002 MOTU cartoon as guide, which was fantastic. Or even the 90's Conan cartoon. But i believe that Masters of the Universe and He-Man work better as comics and graphic novels, because this way the stories are far more serious and epic. After all the franchise is basically Planetary Fantasy or Sword and Sorcery mixed with a bit of Science Fiction. It works much better as a more as a Fantasy teen/adult orientated franchise istead of a water downed damn kid's show, especially considering the potential, the depth, and the richness of the MOTU brand.

For what we know so far the rights for the MOTU cartoons belong to Dreamworks/Universal, not WB. And Sony unfortunately has the rights for the live action movie development.

There has been some concept art revealed here and there by Sony, but everything remained in deveopment hell for years. And then these news came out:

youtube.com/watch?v=4tOa9W62Oxk

Sony's "best idea" for the introduction of the MOTU franchise was through a Barbie movie??? I mean seriously FUCK YOU SONY! You are the worst studios in the world. Ruining a franchise with a really good potential, in such spiteful way. Thank God that this abomination didn't happen.

Without any doubt....

...

Barbarian Teela is the best MOTU gal.

>Teela, was at first the name of the Goddess, (who was the pre-Sorceress concept).

She was just called "The Sorceress". They later distinguished this Teela-like character from the Filmation bird-woman by renaming her "the Goddess" which was an infrequently used name (and not the official one).

Funny enough she is already captain of the royal guard here. Her men all run around in tunics and chainmail but they take orders from a gal in furry undies and a metal bra, and nothing else.

not really, if mostly because they're using Kenner Star Wars articulation instead of GI Joe articulation

In Teela's action figure back cover, she is referenced as the Warrior Goddess.

Why did Filmation have such fucking incredibly sexy female designs? There's just something about the art style that reminds me of how much hotter 60s Playboy women were than later generations.

And in the first MOTU comic mini series, she is called the Goddess. But this is actually the Sorceress, with the barbarian bikini Teela as her cloned daughter, and Captain of the Guard. It's a bit confusing, but this is when MOTU mythos was getting shaped at the very start, and the lines between the characters of the Sorceress, the Goddess and Teela were very thin.

It's the same with the Hyborian Age. This Era came after the cataclysmic event that destroyed Atlantsis. Eternia is also a post apocalyptic world, after the Great Wars turned many people and races to barbarism, while they are various level of civilization, and advanced technology survived from the previous Era.

...

I love seeing Alcala illustrate the later MOTU characters since I associate him so strongly with the 1982 lineup of figures and vehicles.

Alfredo Alcala's artwork in the first mini comics is what captured the fantastic world of Eternia in the first place.

When it comes to the 80's MOTU stuff, it's Alcala/Texeira for the mini comics, William George and Earl Norem when it comes to box and poster artwork.

Not a huge fan of Texeira's work. Solid sequential art, but his characters always looked a bit anemic IMO

I personally loved Texeira's artwork especially his long haired He-Man, and how he draw the fantastic creatures of Eternia.

But i agree Alfredo was superb!

Skytree's face is a perfect I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON image

The Dragon's Gift is onf of He-Man's best stories.

For sure. Happy I was able to get granamyr (albeit in red) many many many years later

There is a fantastic scene in the Eternity War series, in which Teela as the Sorceress now, warned Adam that he should never remain He-Man all the time, because the result would be to be consumed by the power, and become what he is fighting against to, bringing the destruction upon Eternia.

...

fuck, I was watching the DVD's but had to reinstall windows, and the torrent were I got it is pretty much dead. (English/Latin Dub).
there are mega links, but are behind a shitload of shit. so fuck it.

>-He-Man S1 Vol2 Disc1 Ep 6

Holy crap I forgot about Jitsu, even though I had both of them.

...

This is by Freddie Williams, the artist of the current crossover with the Thundercats. Looks great.

Jitsu is a cool character. I liked his background story from his bio:

J"itsu was rescued from the Prison Starr by Keldor during the Great Unrest. In gratitude Jitsu offered his services to Keldor and remained loyal after his transformation to Skeletor.

Jitsu was a master in several forms of martial arts and often found himself at the frontline in the war against the Masters. During the Battle of Gretori Bridge Jitsu was wounded by his archenemy Fisto. His hand had to be replaced by a golden bionic hand, constructed by Tri-Klops.

After Skeletor left Eternia for the conquest of the stars, Jitsu took over Snake Mountain and ruled over it with a golden, iron fist."

I wish we got to see more of their rivalry or how it started.

I want Teela to squeeze me between her thighs

...

Easily the best girl.

amazing art

Teela!
