Sure these days He-Man is just a runaway joke for nostalgia buffs who note its blatant attempts at pandering to children for the sake of its toy line while also noting the inherent homoerotica present within the confines of its storyline and title hero, but for me "He-Man" and the Masters of the Universe was a great footnote in my childhood. For me he was an amazing superhero with an incredible myriad of supporting characters all of whom made the series so much fun to sit through. For me he was a precursor to my obsession with Superman in my later years and he continues to be one of the many pop culture fixtures in my life. Mill Creek Entertainment has released the revival/reboot of the cult series on DVD for anyone interested in a look at a show that took all of the camp from the original series and tried to add some drama and adult tones to its narrative.

I can still fondly remember sitting down to watch the relaunch of the "Masters of the Universe" on Cartoon Network that implemented a very detailed and anime like animated style to it that kept this new take on the fringes quite often. While it didn't last very long like most He-Man material, it's a very good series that will interest those who wanted to see this good concept realized with a more modern approach. One thing I love about this reboot is the fact that it places more emphasis on the father daughter dynamic of Man at Arms and Teela, both of whom are given considerable spotlight along with Prince Adam and his He-Man guise.
