No Easy Way, The Guns of Nordor, The Bride of Slushhead Review

Hello and welcome to... Oh god that's not how

we start the show. I was looking at the wrong

part of the thing. Okay. Wait, how many things

do you have on the one thing? Like, hello? Completely

separate... I was looking at the top, I wasn't

looking at the intro. So I was like, oh I just

have to intro this my own way. But then I'm like,

oh there's actually something right now here.

technical difficulties let's move on shall we

hello this is optimus solo and welcome to the

98th chapter in our powers of grayskull series

with me for this 98th chapter into the masters

of the universe franchise is of course tfg1 mike

hello hello 98 sir 98. That's about how old this

series is making me feel. Pretty much, because

I can't wait until episode 109. Episode 100 and

109 are what I'm excited for. Episode 98 to 108,

I could give a shit less. What happens at 109?

That's when we transition out of this shit and

go to good cartoons. Just making it clear for

the listeners. So are you ready for another trip

to space? No. Okay, well regardless of if you're

ready or not in this episode of Masters in Space

We'll be giving you our thoughts on the next

three episodes of this fantastic series episode

46 no easy way episode 47 the guns of Nordor

and episode 48 the bride of slush head So we

hope you're ready because regardless of how you

feel it is time to go back into space Alright,

first up today is episode 46, No Easy Way, written

by Jake Olesker. Do you mean Jack Olesker? Oh

yeah, Jack. Good ol' Jack. I'm gonna switch his

name to Jake so it feels like we have a different

writer for this episode. It's Jack Olesker, all

three episodes today, guys. That's what we're

excited about. Yeah, no, not really. So, No Easy

Way, Mike, what did you think? A scientist step,

boo! Oh, God. This is by far the worst episode

of the day. I disagree. This is stupid. Well,

it wouldn't be a TF2 and Mike and Optimus Solo

production if we didn't disagree with each other,

so... That's true. That's true. Yeah, I mean,

it is a bad episode because of the scientists,

and it definitely doesn't have anything to write

home about or anything like that, but there is

an episode that is far worse that's still to

come. So, I'll tease you with that. It's not

as bad as this. That episode later today actually

has a decent plot. The execution is stupid, the

idea is stupid. You don't know which of the two

I'm talking about, first of all. You leave Chucky

out of this. No easy way. Outside of it being

a scientist episode... Plants kill everyone show

over. Bye. See ya. We can move on to 87 and 2002

now Like seriously, they're going to have an

episode where plants are the villain really Yeah,

and then they do this in this we saw this in

he man we've seen this in other series so like

it's not super exciting, but But this series

does it worse than all of those it really does.

I don't know. I like the parts about I liked

the aspect of this episode where they were finding

the solution so that the Council of Elders or

whatever they call that group of people was going

to be able to stop spending 100 % of their power

and time holding up a shield, which is something

I never kind of thought about before. Like you

have your most powerful, most intelligent, most

important people in your community and your civilization

that literally have to spend 100 % of their time

focusing on the shield. So, I liked the idea

that they were going to finally be able to stop

doing that and help with other things. I thought

that was a cool moment. Yeah, and then, we don't

need no shield no more! We have the plants! They'll

save us! So, like, that wasn't going to come

back to bite him in the ass. Like, I like the

idea of that, I agree with you on that part.

Problem is, it's an idea that, while... good

in theory is horrible in practice like first

of all why the hell you basically making slave

laborers out of these most important people and

having like these mystical whatever that like

this show this show can't decide what it wants

to be there's magic or technology like the whole

point of the original filmation he man was it

was sort of combining magic and technology because

you had skeletor and horak and all that and the

sorceress and whatever else then you had man

-at -arms and all the masters and blah blah blah

with the technology part of it all this doesn't

know which way it wants to go one week it could

be a space adventure to the death star the next

week it could be you know looking at giant feet

in in in hogwarts i don't know The show. Yeah,

I mean, I appreciated that part of it. I kind

of liked the back and forth with the shield and

the plants and stuff like that. It wasn't something

I loved or anything like that, but it definitely

didn't irritate me as much as another episode

would. Is there anybody in this episode that

stood out from you from a positive, negative,

or anything like that? No, and the one thing

I will say about, well, besides the scientists,

obviously, the one thing I will say about this,

though, the last thing I'll say before we rate

awards and all that, snow seeds. Really? That's

not how weather works. There are not snow seeds

that, like, you can do stuff to the sky, to the

clouds, to have it rain or snow, but you can't

take actual snow seeds. There's no such fucking

thing. I don't care what planet you're on. How

do you really feel? Oh my god. My only other

magic will lead me... Through an asteroid belt

as if I had the force and my name was Luke Skywalker

exactly I mean, I know you guys want to be Star

Wars I know this is the gear attempt to combine

He -Man and Star Wars into one thing but you

can't just blatantly do stuff like that like

and then I apparently they couldn't tell the

voice cast what the names of the planets that

were and stuff like that because half the people

are calling the planet vitrion and the other

half are counting it calling it vitrion or however

you said it, they're pronouncing it two different

ways. Like one's vi and one's vi. So get that

straight too. That bugs me in cartoons when characters

pronounce things wrong. So I am, I'm not super

high on this one. Like I said, I don't think

it's the worst episode because there's one that

I'll go off on later. But I mean, I'm sitting

at like a two on this one. Straight zero. Straight

zero? Straight zero. Alright, maybe maybe maybe

maybe a point five because of the Idea of freeing

the scientists with the execution of it all straight

zero. There's no plot like I after I finished

watching this I'm like Where'd the plot go like

did the plot even show up the plot would went

home drunk or something cuz like Nothing straight

zero I can't go that low. I'm at a two on this

one. So let's take a break and see where the

guns of Nordor takes us after this Up next today

episode 47 we're going to the Lord of the Rings

and the guns of Nordor Again, like I said written

by Jackalusker. Just like the first one just

like the next one will be which is why we're

not super excited about this. So, Mike, what

did you think of the guns of Nordor? This was

better than the last episode, but not by much.

They're basically trying to destroy the guns

of Nordor. That's all it is. Because the mutants

in Nordor and Gorn City and all that, they have

these two giant guns that apparently can fire,

like, again. Get off of George Lucas's nuts Jack

Olesker and I can say this now and here because

back then Lucas actually still owned his own

shit before the mouse, you know bottom out I

just don't know anymore. So basically there's

these guns at Nordor that are gonna be fired

and wreak havoc on the universe I guess that

makes no sense to me from a plot standpoint.

It's like It's like they wanted to have He -Man

and combine it with like the threat of nuclear

war like trying to create the same type of paranoia

or Panic attack mode that you would go in, you

know Oh Korea is gonna nuke us and the whole

world's gonna end or Russia's gonna nuke us and

this that and the other the guns of Nordor are

gonna be fired and God help everybody that's

in the way of the guns of Nordor Like it was

fine. There's a giant orange Cheeto that's going

to be attacking us now. It was fine as far as

some of the action and some of the character

stuff and interactions and whatnot. Like it wasn't

like the worst episode I've ever seen, especially

compared to the one before it and the one after

it. But it was just a blah episode for me. Like

I don't like Jackalusker. Can I say that? Sure.

I don't think we're going to get an interview

with him. If we do apologize it's My question

is is he still living? That's my question, and

I know that's I never knew who Jack Olesker was

before we did this series I've never seen his

name since Yeah, I get it that he's apparently

been tasked to write the majority of these episodes

because he's done way more than any other writer

here not even close like Know in the you know

in the film Asian human we talked about a lot

of different writers and like the the people

that did the most still didn't Only did like

maybe a fourth of the episodes or something of

that nature like a fifth of the episodes was

like the most Jack Lusker has done way over half

of these episodes so he's been burdened to do

a lot of this and I get that he probably doesn't

have great stuff to work with but man, he's just

trying to come up with every little way to do

Lord of the Rings, do Star Wars, related to all

these different things. It's just done in a way

that's too obvious and too, instead of just taking

an idea and going somewhere else with it, it's

just too blatant of a ripoff most of the time.

So I just can't appreciate this. This is a below

average episode once again. What do you think?

Yeah, it really is very much below average. However,

it is better than the last one. At least this

one had action in it. At least this one had fighting

in it. At least this one had all kinds of stuff

in it. The man is still alive. He's 69 years

old. According to jackolesker .com, he's done

over TV and film over 1200 TV episodes and 18

movies in his career. So, there's that. I don't

know if any of them were good though, so. I have

to go through that, comb through that filmography

and that TVography, or whatever you want to call

it, cartoonography. Anybody stand out in this

episode for you, one way or the other? Not really,

no. Excellent, me neither. I'm going to be at

a two once again on this one, what do you think?

Actually, I'm going up because I kind of have

to at this point two and a half like I said,

it's better than the previous episode For me

both the last episode in this episode are so

similar that I'm kind of just in the same boat

But I'm definitely not in the same boat with

this next episode. So let's take a break Get

back to the worst episode of the day episode

48 the bride of slush head coming up next All

right last episode up today episode 48 I'm not

getting this name wrong here. The Bride of Slushhead.

Again, written by Jack Olesker. Mike, be positive,

because I'm about to get a negative answer. Okay,

so... Bride of Frankenstein, Bride of Chucky,

Bride of whatever. It's essentially the Bride

of Frankenstein kind of thing. It's... The most

for me. It's the most in even though it's rated

lower than the guns of Nordor It's the most enjoyable

episode out of these three specific episodes

Because it actually has a plot it actually follows

through because again. They're basically copying

off of Bride of Frankenstein or whatever sort

of kind of thing. You know, you watch whatever,

I don't, but you know, people will watch like

Bridezilla's or whatever on whatever channel

that shows on it. It's essentially that kind

of a thing. What I liked about this, and there

will actually be a picture in the post for this,

He -Man doesn't dress up at all. He just wears

his, you know, no shirt, blue pants, but Skeletor

comes dressed in a tux. And there's an image

of the two of them, and I'm like, Skeletor looks

just awesomely, hilariously stupid, but it's

just so over the top. It's more over the top

than most WWE over -the -topnesses. It was a

hell of a lot more enjoyable than the previous

two for me. Is it a great episode? Hell no. Is

it going to get a high rating? Oh, hell no. But...

At least it was a breather point for me because

normally after like I remember specifically some

behind -the -scenes for you folks I messaged

Optimus Solo at like 4 a .m. Okay, I've watched

the first two episodes for episode 98 I now have

to go cleanse my palate with Knight Rider because

Knight Rider comes on every morning the classic

Knight Rider comes on every morning on the L

-Ray network Between 5 and 7 a .m. Because oh

my god those first two episodes were just so

horrible so by the time I got to this I was like

Okay, this is a kind of fun, cool thing. It's

not the worst thing this show has ever done yet.

Now, Mr. Negativity, everybody. You must want

something different out of your He -Man than

I do, I guess. I don't understand any of that.

Like, I could see maybe them trying to pull off

something like this in She -Ra. Where, and I'm

not saying it to be, I don't know, whatever.

Understand that there was a lot of female characters

in that show and one and you're trying to gear

that show towards a female audience One thing

that females tend to think about when they're

younger is weddings and getting married etc,

etc More than more so than men on average so

I could get that they could try to have worked

that into the plot where you had somebody in

the rebellion that was I have that had a love

interest or that was at least considering getting

married or something of that nature. Yeah, like

That would have made sense. I could have bought

it in that context. We're currently doing He

-Man in space. So we have He -Man, we have robots,

we have scientists, and we have mutants. And

they decide that they want to have a wedding

episode for this cartoon for boys. And then instead

of picking somebody that would make sense, they

went with Slushhead. who is not only a villain,

he is a mutant, and he has never had any type

of interaction with anybody outside of other

mutants, Skeletor, et cetera, in the entire series,

which we've been through a lot of episodes so

far. Damn near 50. So you've had no setup that

these characters even exist in the same world,

that there's even the possibility that there's

a love interest or anything of that nature, and

you're gonna create it with both a villain and

a mutant. like slushhead alright then you're

going to make the episode be centered around

this wedding in which both villains and our heroes

are both in attendance right because it's like

hey guys time out from this ongoing war and battle

we have for life and death and the future of

the civilization we're getting married so let's

all be friends let's Attend let's eat food and

dress up and act nice for one day because it's

a wedding. Okay First of all, this is not this

is not the Civil War where Thousands of people

have been killed and it's Christmas Day and you

guys make a temporary truce for a day Which happened,

you know that type of thing happened and you

decided hey, we're not gonna shoot at you You're

not gonna shoot at us just for one day you stay

on your side. We'll stay on our side Let's celebrate

Christmas and then we'll kill each other tomorrow

that did happen however, they didn't Cross the

lines and and have dinner with each other. They

didn't interact and mingle with each other and

be friendly with each other That did not happen.

It's more focused on slush head and his bride

whatever the fuck her name is Yeah, I'm not I

didn't even write it down But so you create this

hideous bride for slush head first of all they

have Actually created a bride for slush head

just for this episode then you allow a man to

do the voice of the bride Because that's clearly

a man doing that voice Which is off -putting?

And and then we're gonna have situations where

human and the and the rest of the good guys are

intermingling with the bad guys Like that makes

absolutely no fucking sense And then you they

try to be slick they try to be clever and they're

like gonna oh we're gonna do this like we're

gonna break the fourth wall type thing and One

of the scientists or something at one point says

something about like this isn't a movie or something

Yeah, this is a cartoon and I almost vomited

Like that's not clever you acknowledging that

you're in a cartoon and he man is not clever

that you're not animaniacs You're not pinking

the brain. You're not Looney Tunes. You're not

any of those types of things. You're not on adult

swim like I don't need he man acknowledging that

they're a cartoon. So that's bad Then you have

slush head even like coming at the end of the

episode and trying to be like, oh, thanks for

saving our wedding and saving this that and the

other blah blah blah. So the only way that this

episode is even close to being OK, even by one

percent is if slush head does not appear in the

rest of the series. I know. Because if you go

on and never acknowledge the fact that he has

a bride at home or a bride with him or anything

like that or that he even got married, then I'm

going to be even more angry than I already am.

Yeah, see, that's the thing about this episode.

It basically does the Michael Bay, Shia LaBeach,

Sam Transformers thing, where they build him

up, they give him all this character, and then

by the next thing, they take it away. So we don't

know if that's gonna happen, obviously. It probably

will. Oh, it probably will. I'm not saying it's

not going to. I'm saying, as of this moment,

because you and I have not watched ahead, because...

we enjoy our weekly torture that is the new adventures

of He -Man. What I'm saying is, the reason why

I like this, besides being the whole fun aspect

of it, is that they actually gave me a reason

to like Slush Head. They actually gave that guy,

I've never cared for the character, I hate his

voice, it's a merman knockoff, I absolutely despise

it, but this episode actually made me like the

guy. And I don't buy I don't buy my villains

wanting to get married to anybody Not in this

type of setting like I get the good guys would

but that's something that goes against the character

of villains in general You're not gonna have

a love interest because the only person you care

about is you the only thing you care about is

winning money etc etc so a villain is gonna have

like a mistress or You know somebody like that.

They're not gonna have a wife At least not in

this setting. So I just don't like it and then

Mike What's the what's one of the worst things

that you could possibly do at the end of an episode

for me in a cartoon? Single -tier a single tier.

They don't do that here. No, they the second

worst thing a Star formation of a heart in the

air And again, I wanted to break my computer

if it wasn't somewhat new, I may have done that.

I honestly wrote down that this may be the worst

single episode of a cartoon I've ever seen. This

is in the running for sure for the worst He -Man

related episode I've ever seen out of all a gazillion

episodes we've watched so far of He -Man, She

-Ra, and The New Adventures. It might be worse

than anything I saw in Mask. uh... it all come

on now that's a tall order come on now if i had

to pick like the top ten worst cartoon episodes

i've ever seen i would not it is at least to

be in the conversation that's this bad uh...

it i can't stand any of it uh... i give a havoc

staff The biggest one that you could possibly

build by the person that builds Thor's hammer.

Build me a Havoc staff that I can hit Jackalusker

in the face with because this is garbage. Why

would you come up with this episode? Why do you

think guys want to see the Bride of Slushhead?

This is stupid beyond stupid. So that's my take

on it. I give this one a zero. Yeah. That might

be the first zero I've ever given out. Yeah,

my final note, at first I thought this was, oh

my god, another scientist episode, and then I

realized what it was going to be, and I'm like,

oh, okay. I'm like, that ending though, a heart

in the stars with a shooting star through it,

oh my god, come on. I'm not going to, like, I

think, is this your first zero? I think it might

be. For this series, anyway. For new adventures.

I can't, one and a half. I wasn't gonna sit here

and rate it a five because I'm pretty sure you'd

kick me off my own podcast and you'd start doing

all the work yourself for the editing and whatever

else. But here's the thing, as I've said repeatedly

at this point. I could just sit back and watch

this and enjoy what was happening because of

the plot that Skeletor and the mutants were trying

to do, basically sabotage the wedding kind of

thing, and it was better than... the two previous

episodes, even though I rated The Guns of Nordo

are two and a half, because it's very middle

ground, almost bad, and obviously the first episode

for me is really fucking bad. This was just like,

oh, this is like one of those things, and I know

Movie Revolt Day and everybody else who probably

listens to this hates this line. This, to me,

is the only episode of The New Adventures of

T -Man where I can just turn my brain off and

just enjoy it and not have to think about anything.

Still, it's a one and a half, though. Still a

zero for me. So that's it for this episode. Let's

take a quick break and come back to wrap this

thing up and put a bow on it. Shut up. Beyond

to that now and we'll come back to respond after

this Hi Kevin and Mike this is art design aka

Rania Um, I just heard your shadow on your latest

podcast and I was so excited. I wasn't expecting

it. Um, I'm kind of kicking myself because I

was, I've been listening to the podcast for at

least a couple of years and I have never rated

or reviewed any podcasts that I've listened to

and I listened to a lot. And then I was I was

like re -listening. I think I've listened to

all of the episodes at least twice and some of

them more than once. Just, you know, when I'm

working or I'm just trying to chill out because

I love your podcast and I love listening to you

guys talk about human and anything master's related.

And then I realized to myself, I'm like, Jesus,

I really like this podcast. The least I could

do is do a... Braiding for them. It's the least

I could do because these guys what they're doing

is actually bringing a lot of joy and fun into

my life and That's why I ended up doing it and

now I'm kicking myself that I didn't do it earlier

Because I missed out on maybe engaging with you

guys When you started Shira, I think I started

listening Just when you started Shira but anyway

a little bit about me I I think I'm probably

smack in the middle age -wise between you two.

So we grew up watching probably the same Saturday

morning cartoons. I was never really a big girly

girl, so I tended to really like watching cartoons

that were geared towards boys, but I also watch

girl cartoons. I like those as well, but... It

always frustrated me that girl cartoons were

just super hyper feminine and very girly and

about clothes and looking pretty and all this

over -the -top stuff. But I loved He -Man and

I loved He -Man for all the same reasons you

guys talk about. The transformation, I remember

the first time I saw human transform and it was

amazing and it is something that is vivid for

me and like always gets me excited when I watch

it. But, and this is gonna blow Mike's mind,

I loved Tila. And let me tell you why I love

Tila. Tila was the only cartoon character that

as a little girl I was watching that wasn't wearing

a pretty pink dress, didn't have long blonde

hair, wasn't giggling all the time, and she was

like strong, she held her own with the guys,

she wouldn't take any bullshit, and I loved her.

She was kind of an inspiration to me so it kind

of boggled my mind when I heard you guys and

how much you dislike Tila because Tila was an

icon to me. I mean, I think I liked the three

characters I loved on He -Man were Cringer, of

course. I mean, he's amazing. The comedic relief

is absolutely awesome with Cringer. And then

I think my second favorite is Tila. And then

third was he in that order. So I know you both,

especially Mike, really like cringer. I think

he was your number one when you did the breakdown,

but ironically, my number two is Tila and Mike

hated Tila. So I just wanted to tell you guys,

it's funny how you talk about how annoying she

is and she nags Adam, but I remember growing

up. I thought Adam was being such a brat when

he was lying down and taking it easy and everyone

else was working and he just seemed so entitled

and I could never I could never figure out if

it was an act if it was supposed to be an act

that Adam really wasn't that way and it was kind

of part of his way to disguise his identity as

a he -man or if he really was This lazy privileged

guy. I mean granted it was a small percentage

of his personality He wasn't like that all the

time. Most of the time he was a nice guy and

pretty dependable But I always got so annoyed

when he was being lazy and you know, I sided

with Tila I'm like get off your friggin ass and

go do your work But you know again, it depends

was that an act to throw everyone off on his

identity which i could forgive and i could look

past or was that really adam um i have no idea

and i'm curious to hear what you guys think about

that but anyway yeah tila was amazing she really

was the only female character i could look up

to because i was that girl i like to play with

the boys i you know, wasn't really into all the

girly things. I mean, I didn't hate them, but

I wasn't super into them. And, you know, I love

Teela. And it wasn't until later that more female

characters like that started appearing. And I

remember She -Ra coming and how excited I was

about She -Ra, but I don't like the She -Ra show

as much as I like He -Man. I agree with you guys

in the sense that I always loved the crossover

episodes, and I think part of the reason I love

the crossover episodes is those episodes tended

to be more like the He -Man episodes. And I just

remember, especially later on in the later episodes

with She -Ra, they got too girly for me. I was

like, Oh my God, they're totally falling into

the stereotype of what girls want. And it just

got a little annoying for me. I liked it more

when they were neutral about it and not trying

to push the girl angle so much. I also agree

with you guys about Bo and how I didn't like

how they would demasculate him all the time.

I agree that just if you're being girl power

and trying to lift up women, there's no reason

to like push down men. I thought that was a strange

hypocritical. perspective. I would have liked

if there were a couple more male characters in

She -Ra and they weren't like belittled as often

as Bo was. But yeah, what else about She -Ra?

I did love She -Ra. I found that show very empowering.

It meant a lot for me as a girl growing up, but

in terms of which show I liked more, I definitely

liked He -Man more than I liked Shira, but I

appreciated Shira the character more in terms

of a girl and looking up to someone that's a

woman that is empowered and, you know, trying

to do good in the world. I love that. Let me

think. Oh, I never watched the... He -Man in

space episodes ever. I actually even know they

existed. I don't know how I missed that so It's

been really cool hearing you guys review them

and I have watched maybe four of the first episodes

of the series, but I wasn't sitting down and

watching them with 100 % attention. I usually

am working or doing something while I'm watching

the episodes. But I don't hate them. I think

I'm intrigued because it's He -Man related. And

for that reason, I just find it interesting.

It's always really interesting to see someone

take... Something that already exists and something

that's a wonderful and kind of do a spin on it

So for that reason I don't absolutely hate it.

I appreciate it for what it is It's definitely

the quality in terms of the animation and the

voice acting you're right is not up to par But

it's okay, I mean I don't dislike it and hate

it as much as I think you two do. Would I ever

watch the whole series? No, I'm not. I don't

think I would just because I'm not passionate

about it, but I love listening to you guys review

it. I'm definitely going to listen to every one

of those episodes and I appreciate you doing

the work for me. Let me think, but maybe I'll

try to force myself to go through it just to.

say that I've watched everything. I also remember

the He -Man movie. I remember going to see that

in the theaters and how excited I was. I have

to be honest, I've only watched that movie once

and it was only in the theater. I don't know

why I've never watched it again. Maybe I should

go watch it again just to like remind myself

of it. But I do remember when I did go watch

it. in the movies, I loved it. It was exciting.

And I remember I was disappointed that I didn't

find He -Man attractive. Weird little girl sign

up. But yeah, I think that's it. If you guys

wanna ever talk more, you can reach out to me.

I'd love to be part of the podcast if you want

me to be part of the podcast. I'm glad I finally

got to tell you guys some of the things I've

been thinking, because like I said in my review,

I've always wanted to talk to you and give you

my angle on a lot of stuff, because I feel like

it was so interesting to hear your angle, because

I've never actually talked to anyone about He

-Man before, because the one I know loves it

like I do, so I just don't talk to anyone about

it. I watch episodes every now and then for fun,

and I geek out on it. And it's kind of like this

private thing that I've never shared with anyone.

So I think that's why I love your podcast so

much. I feel like I get to hear other people

talk about something that I love so much. And

that's why I was like, damn, I wish I could talk

to them about it, especially because it's interesting

for me to hear the male perspective and how you

guys viewed it. And there's a lot of parallels,

but there's definitely some huge tangents that

I was surprised with, especially in regards to

Teela. But that's it, guys. Again, my name's

Rania. I love what you do. Thank you so much.

You have no idea how much joy is brought into

my life. As dorky as that sounds. So, hooray

for that little bit of difference. Hey, you two,

knock it off. Orko, what are you doing here?

Trying to sleep. Orko, you've been asleep in

the backseat all this time? Alright so that was

Reyna with her call in about her feedback from

not only this series but all the different things

we've been doing here at Powers of Grayskull.

We definitely appreciate you getting in touch

with us. You obviously mentioned that you've

been listening for a long time and finally got

around to interacting with us and we definitely

appreciate that. Mike, what did you think about

what Reyna had to say? It's very in -depth, very

dedicated fan. Who knew we had fans this dedicated

to us? I mean, we're just people. I know but

I definitely appreciate you said obviously that

that she very much enjoys the podcast that brings

some joy into her world and into her day, which

if we have one person that that works for and

that lightens up their day, then we're ecstatic

because obviously, like we've said multiple times,

we do this mostly for fun and that type of thing.

But if somebody else is enjoying it, that makes

it even that much better. And I thought she had

some interesting points I wanted to touch on

real quickly. She had a question about, you know,

Tila versus Adam because she was a little bit

more of a Tila fan than we were of course and

I thought that was interesting that she liked

Tila a little bit more. She was commenting about

how she viewed Adam a little bit as a brat or

a little bit as a kind of the same type of complaints

we had about Tila. And then she said, well, but

maybe I don't know if if Adam's being if that's

how Adam is or if Adam's putting on a show and

she was asking for our interaction or reaction

to that comment. And my reaction would be that

I think that was 100 percent a show by Adam.

I think he was definitely playing that part as

to be as far removed from the He -Man persona

as possible so nobody could make that connection.

So I definitely think he was acting that way

on purpose and that's not a general, that's not

how Adam was as a person. Like he was acting

a little bit more naive, a little bit immature,

he was acting a little less intelligent, but

I think all that is acting. I don't know, what

did you think about that? It's, here's the thing.

It's kind of like the Batman Bruce Wayne thing

where Batman is the man and Bruce is the man

like Bruce Wayne is the mask Bruce Wayne is the

pretender because he's gotten to that point in

his life where I'm the goddamn Batman is just

his whole life at this point With Adam and he

man kind of a thing It's it's a little bit more

gray because Adam does also have to be his own

person But he does have to as you said act like

He's a moron so he man can succeed, but we've

seen over the last Five six years. We've been

doing this podcast reviewing all 130 episodes

of He -Man She -Ra Hashtag not my human not my

Skeletor in this for new adventures that you

know he does have those episodes where it is

just Adam Up until the very end or something,

right? Yeah But, so that was my reaction on that.

She was also interested to see that she liked

Team Man a little bit more than She -Ra. And

she said she's only watched about four episodes

of The New Adventures and she hadn't been convinced

to watch. So she appreciated that we were doing

that for her. uh... she also mentioned that she's

listening to most of the podcast episodes more

than once so she said probably all of them at

least twice so far so very cool uh... i can't

believe you can uh... listen to mike uh... talk

that much but uh... i can't believe you listen

to kevin just be kevin that much like somebody

send in harry and norris that's why she's listening

twice no i don't think so i don't think so no

no no no the sweet vocal renditions of optimus

solo is where that's going So but we definitely

appreciate that that ego is really filled with

a lot of hot air this week, isn't it? Anyways

getting back to Raina here We appreciate that

you finally reached out to us the review on iTunes

that you left the voicemail the all that type

of stuff Keep up with the contact here going

forward definitely Let us know how you're thinking

about things once we get to the 2000 series as

well Because we we love interacting with the

fans and the more we hear from you guys the easier

it is for us to do our jobs Absolutely. One last

thing before I finish the clothes out here. I

know Kevin isn't into this but... funko pops

of the new mighty mugs essentially they're basically

vinyl figures funko is a company that basically

does all kinds of like that if you like a character

i'm sure there's a funko pop of it and i found

the masters of the universe funko pop television

series they have battle armor he man battle armor

skeletor evil in merman orco strados and beastman

i have battle armor he -man and skeletor and

evelyn uh... both he -man and skeletor have their

respected accessories for their battle armor

like they have the battle armor chest but they

have the axe he -man has the shield and the axe

skeletor does have a little mini havoc staff

uh... which is very very very cool uh... evelyn

has her traditional staff that she usually has

and she's got like the spell casting hand so

very very cool that funko pop has uh... has embraced

the uh... masters of the universe so yeah i may

end up getting uh... uh... optima soul there

on orko for his birthday this year that's funny

orgo and merman fight to the death merman wins

All right, we hope you enjoyed the space tales

today and don't forget to join us on our next

adventure when we will take a look at the next

three episodes of the crappy adventures of He

-Man Which are the dreadinator mutiny on the

mothership and rock to the future Wait, I think

it's I think it's supposed to be dreaded like

the predator but dreaded or dreaded or whatever

i don't know they're just copying one more friggin

thing and rock to the future or rock into the

future or whatever like oh it's um it's mega

man meets back to the future because all i think

when i see rock and then future also i think

it was rock man which is the japan version of

mega man or the original mega man name you would

anyway for now i am tf2 and mike with The ever

-pleasing vocal cords of optimus solo you knew

of grayskull and the power of the magic and the

way of the force? Yeah, other things were knocking

time everybody. See you soon Wake me when it's
