4 of the 5 eps down. Saving the last one. Each Ep is only about a half hour long.
This is rather smart in how it updates the original series and where they go with it. It’s all about Teela and Evil-Lyn. The voice cast is solid. Evil-Lyn is Headley and she nails her ‘bollocks’ line. Skeletor is Hamill. Teela is Geller who I’m not fond of, but she’s so buff. All the women are buff. There are a few other notable cast memeber like Henry Rollins and Jason Mewes.
There are some major deaths. I’m curious to see if everyone stays dead.
It’s magic vs tech but Eternia’s tech is so magical it’s really just about spells vs mech. The major arc isn’t that fresh - your basic quest. Where it shines is in revealing the characters as much more actualized. Gotta hand it to Kevin Smith. The script is a good update as well as an homage, right down to the dumb pun quips that pervaded the dialog in the original. This one is for the fans.
I’m not sure if it works that well if you haven’t seen the original. Too many random characters if you don’t know who is who. It does manipulate fan heartstrings - not that I was that into this series as a kid, but I enough to relish the Easter egg. They even capture the dopey pun quips that made up so much of the original. Nice and retro in many ways. Also a new vision for the franchise.
