The Sword of She-Ra: Film vs. TV Differences

Hold it! This is TF2 and Mike and welcome to

the 47th chapter in the Powers of Grayskull series.

This will be kicking off our She -Ra podcast,

Myths of Etherea proper. For me with this journey

into the Masters of the Universe franchise is

none other than Optimus Solo himself. Are you

ready for the Powers of Grayskull, Faker? The

one and only Optimus Solo. And I'm always ready

for more He -Man talk. Faker. Always ready for

more He -Man talk. Okay, so a lot has happened

since we recorded The secret of the sword commentary

last episode in episode 46 The most the biggest

thing that has happened since then two biggest

things that have happened since then La La Land

Records released They are two CD sets of He -Man

and the Masters of the Universe soundtrack Which

has a hundred and thirty tracks on it. I think

I don't even remember. No it has 58 I don't know

but it's two full discs of music from He -Man

and the Massage Universe and I had interviewed

John Takas who is one of the producers on the

disc which you guys have probably already heard

of by now. I'm so glad they released that. I'm

waiting for them to release a She -Ra version

of a two CD set of She -Ra because man if I could

have some of the music that's in She -Ra like

specifically the instrumental version of I Have

the Power, that would just be awesome. So that

happened. More recently what happened was you

heard, I don't know if you've seen it, but you've

heard of that Turtle Power documentary. Apparently

the same people are doing Power of Grayskull

documentary on He -Man. so uh... press release

power of grace call the definitive history of

the man of the masters universe as i just said

uh... people who brought to turtle power nintendo

quest join forces to bring you the next the most

epic uh... tail in the universe uh... pop culture

focused filmmakers team up to bring fans power

universe power of grace latest in fox pot media's

definitive film series will begin to the rich

history of what has become one of the most beloved

and enduring pop culture icons for millions of

fans worldwide From concept to comic book, cartoons,

movies, and beyond, the enormous popularity of

Masters of the Universe has spawned legions of

loyal fans who have turned the cosmically powered

barbarian into an industry. Decades after its

creation, MOTU is still going strong, a franchise

rich in collectibles, conferences, and more importantly,

universal themes that still resonate with audiences

after all these years. So I will leave a link

to this this full -on press release in the in

the show notes for this episode That's what's

kind of going on in the world of Masters the

universe. There's still no real News about the

movie sadly. I'm except for that if you listen

to the cinema geeks you Will know that the fans

have voted my casting of Masters of the universe

they voted for it So 84 % or 86 % of people in

favor for my Masters of the Universe cast. Yeah,

we do not need Thor as He -Man. Perfect casting.

No. You're the only one that thinks that. Yeah,

probably. So on this episode of Myths of Aetheria,

we'll be giving you an in -depth history lesson

on the differences in what it took to make The

Sword of She -Ra, the five -part episodic intro

to the Princess of Power animated series. So

we hope you're ready, because it's time to enter

Aetheria. All right, folks, so last time around,

Kevin and I did the commentary on Secret of the

Sword, which is the film version, which is the...

I don't want to say cobbled together, but it

really does feel like when they made the cuts

to make the movie version that it kind of was

just jumbled all together. Yeah, I can see that,

too. I don't know. I don't know. The reason why

we aren't redoing the commentary, obviously.

We aren't re -discussing the individual episodes

that made up the movie. What we're doing here

is looking at what it took them to get to the

final production of the movie because some people

don't even know that it was a movie version.

Some people just assume it was the five episodes

that aired on television. And the first three

episodes are completely different as far as their

intro and closing. And the reason why that was

was because at the time, they wanted, I guess,

Filmation or Larry DiTillio or whoever. Lou Shimer

or whatever wanted to protect the identity of

who she really was so no one really knew so For

as you all heard in the very beginning of this

podcast This is the only episode 47 of powers

of grayskull is the only time you will ever hear

that very rare Some places say it's Lou Shimer

doing the narration other places say it's Alan

Oppenheimer. I don't know could you tell I'd

have to listen to it again after listening to

a couple of voice clips from each one of them.

Okay It's opening narration from either Lou or

or Alan And I believe it is Alan just from my

memory and watching as I just watched it right

before we did this So you think I'd remember

but Tony and I'm old you are pretty uh -huh So

are you you're getting there? Slowly, yeah so

What interests me is how some people saw this

on TV and not the movie version, because the

movie version was all I remembered. Yeah, I don't

remember the episodic versions either. I only

remember the movie. But that goes back to something

I said in the last episode as well, which is

I'm probably not going to have actual memories

of any of the She -Ra episodes. I'm gonna remember

characters and stuff like that, but I'm not gonna

remember actual episodes because I didn't watch

She -Ra Die Hard style when I was a kid. I watched

it when my sister was watching it. I watched

it when it came on but at this point I was moving

into other other boys cartoons that were out

and Undercats and silver and all the you know

reruns of Transformers and GI Joe etc So I mean

I wasn't watching the episode so it's gonna be

very rare if ever if I remember an actual episode

But I do however specifically remember the film

version See here's the thing folks and I've just

found this out recently since I've moved to a

new apartment and everything else So also if

you hear my voice be sounding different or a

different echo or different background noise

It's cuz I've moved and I now have hardwood floors

instead of carpet. So So you have good acoustics.

I'm yeah. Yeah Oh God reminds me of Big Bang

Theory and Sheldon going all different seats

in the theater Checking the acoustics good lord.

Um, so Here's the thing in the last Day or so

that I've been preparing for us to do this episode

I'm like you I know nothing in the past, you

know, however long we've been doing this show

In that time, I've watched maybe one or two different

episodes of She -Ra outside of The Sword of She

-Ra or Secret of the Sword or whatever else,

but I have not. We're both coming into this fresh,

folks. This is not us being nostalgic. This is

not us wearing red, you know, red rose glasses

or whatever else. So no one, anyone that listens

to this and... writes a review on iTunes or writes

comments on the website, no one can tell us that

we're being ruled by nostalgia for She Were a

Princess of Power because neither one of us remember

anything past Secret of the Sword. And as I said

earlier, what really surprises me is how much

is actually cut out of the five episodes to cobble

together the movie. There's so much here. remember

finding you know the episodes at one point or

another and I'm like wait that's not how it's

what's that doing there that's an extra bit what's

going on there right um you know and we you know

it took us well yeah pretty much it took you

and I four years to get through 130 episodes

of Eman It's not going to take us four years

to get through 93 episodes of She -Ra. No, it's

going to take much less than that. Yeah. So as

I already mentioned, Into Atheria starts with

a completely different opening sequence, which

I believe is done by Alan Oppenheimer. Some places

say it's done by Lou Schimer. uh... the full

original title is seen on the shooting strip

was the sort of shira part one two three four

five and then the episode titles into a theory

of the style all that stuff i'd like for the

movie i like the title human issue in the secret

of the sword for the movie version for the five

episode parts i like this i was sort of sheer

i almost wish they would have kept that yeah

on the title cards instead of just into a theory

of the style and their whatever I can go either

way. I mean it is a pretty long title that way

the sort of shooter part one into aetheria is

a lot It's a mouthful But I don't necessarily

think it's bad, but I can understand why they

would cut it to a shorter version Now had you

gone back and I know you probably Weren't wanting

to but had you gone back before this and and

like after reading the commentary and had you

seen the differences in the episodes? No, I haven't

had a chance to actually watch the the You know

the specific differences and cuts yet It's something

that will do obviously in time because I want

to get radians for all those individual episodes

I'm kind of on an episodic nature to add to our

radians as we go through the series But I haven't

had a chance to watch the individual cuts yet,

but I think probably One of the most interesting

things that they changed was that the Horde Troopers

were originally conceived as living beings instead

of robots. And you can kind of get a little of

that in this first episode into Etherea because

they all have distinctly different voices. And

one of them even has a name. They call him Marg.

Yeah, and it talks about how the how the script

actually even went further and that all the horsemen

actually had identities and you know individual

traits And it had a scene where they lift their

visors and one of them is a scarred human one

of them's like a reptilian humanoid one of them's

a humanoid Hawk so it kind of would tie a lot

of the different groups of humanoids within Eternia

etheria together as possibilities of being horde

troopers instead of kind of what we get through

the series which is just kind of some generic

faceless robots and you would think that because

of what happens at the end of like the jailbreak

or when when hordak is like where are my horde

troopers and shadow weaver's like oh they're

coming back now and they've even lost one of

their own oh here he comes that's no true you

I mean seriously that scene You you realize that

they were going to go in the way that you're

saying about having them be individual people

Inside the pieces of a it's the only way that

scene would make sense, but then you can't then

you can't quite tie in as many correlations to

Star Wars and the people dressing up as stormtroopers

But I'm saying that because he man like if we're

to believe that The Horde troopers are supposed

to be just completely robots all over the place.

You know, just no humans, no people, no Pacific

Rim, whatever. You know, then how the hell did

He -Man get in the damn suit if it's a robot?

so that's what i'm saying it's like if they had

left it to where they showed some of that stuff

yeah i know they have to cut for time but i think

it would have been interesting to see the different

the no i think it would have definitely added

an element instead of just having your generic

foot soldiers that can be beaten pretty easily

because they also would have uh it also would

have allowed for some cool storylines to take

place where maybe like you know shira and some

of the other good characters possibly could have

even had interaction with the Horde Trooper and

maybe try to bring them back to the good side

or understand their story. There could have been

multiple storylines out of that. You know, Horde

Trooper A belongs to this town over here of hawk

people or snake people or whatever. And I think

they definitely could have had a lot more potential

for some interesting plots. There's so many different,

and I'm kind of glad that they were cut for the

film version because there's so many different

sequences that were cut. A lot of them were inconsequential.

A lot of them were, yeah, like Adam and Bo throwing

cream pies into the faces of two of the horde

troopers. Like, yeah, we don't need that for

the film. Right. Hordak punishes the messenger

from Thamor for bringing in bad news like I as

soon as I saw that in In this very first episode.

I was like, yeah. No, there's no way that happened

in the movie You know Let's see here was some

of the other ones for into aetheria And not many

not many other ones into yeah that like are meaningful.

I mean, it's just little like this shot You know

this shot was a little slightly different this

character faced a different direction kind of

you know little In consequential type things,

but I think probably the biggest one for me is

is that horde trooper bit? Yeah, I think for

me the biggest thing is if and when lol and records

eventually does put a shira soundtrack score

together if I want to see how they're going to

do it because It says in our notes that the music

score for the five episodes was completely restructured

to make Secret of the Sword to compensate for

the numerous cuts to the original five episodes.

So it's gonna be interesting to see if when a

full -on She -Ra soundtrack does happen, if it

happens, hopefully it will, how they're going

to go ahead and do that. For Beast Island, for

the second episode... What what cuts intrigue

you out of this one? Um Again, I mean obviously

all of these are gonna are gonna have some Some

inconsequential ones sure some maybe that aren't

as important, but if I was looking at this one

Again a lot of it goes back to the introductory

types of bits, you know, obviously in one version

They're trying to keep a lot more secrets About

Shira's identity So that's I mean, that's an

obvious one That's gonna be throughout as far

as trying not to disclose who she is compared

to the point where we all know Who she is? I

don't know which one's that which one struck

your fancy I'll think about this a second the

the thing about the opening intro this only happened

in the first three episodes because by episode

four That's the standard, you know, my name is

Adora blah blah blah, you know I'm not trying

to overshadow that by saying blah blah blah,

but I'm just saying that That specific intro

about the sword of She -Ra and all this that

was only the first three episodes because by

the fourth episode Obviously her identity is

revealed Like I said, I I know the titles long

But I think it's more that I like how and it

is it is Oppenheimer that other note isn't correct

It is Alan Oppenheimer i like the way he inflex

it saying the sort of sheer all right whatever

you know i i like how his vocals are working

with that because that's g that's not him putting

on their arms that's not him putting arms obviously

can't put on skillet or that's just his normal

narration voice and it's very rare for me to

hear alan oppenheimer I've heard him at conventions

in the last few years and stuff like that, and

his normal voice is very similar to Man -At -Arms.

Obviously Man -At -Arms is a little bit deeper

than his regular voice, but I just love hearing

that narration voice. As far as the cuts here

for Beast Island, I think I do have one, actually,

now that I think about it more. Maybe not necessarily

a cut, but a difference. Fans of the Masters

of the universe probably would find somewhat

interesting and that's during the recap at the

start of the episode I know we kind of talked

about it a little bit right but with the footage

of human Versus Adora from into aetheria had

been altered So in the recap version human is

seen holding his power sword as he confronts

Adora who is holding the sword of protection

But in into a theory as she was holding just

a nondescript sword He -Man had her sword of

protection having lost his own sword earlier.

So that's kind of an interesting switch with

the swords Yeah, absolutely, but that was probably

about one of the only ones from from Beast Island

I don't know if you had any others you wanted

to bring up or not I'm so glad they cut the sheep

scene. The last thing we need is Madame Raz turning

people into sheep and Adora witnessing the horde

trooper taking some kids horse away Don't get

me wrong. I understand that goes to characterization

of her watching and really realizing how evil

the horde is I understand that but I'm very happy

that it was cut right from the movie and this

is what I was saying is what I've been saying

all along between this episode episode 46 the

I'm discovering new things about this story by

watching the episodes individually. Right. You

know what I mean? So that's the coolest thing

and I still prefer the movie because it's much

cleaner than some of this stuff. With She -Ra

Unchained, it's episode three of The Sword of

She -Ra. Let's see here. Some of the scenes that

were cut from this one, where Hordak drains the

will of the slave in the magnabim charger, Adora

had asked him what happens to the prisoners afterward,

and Hordak shows her that the rebel has now become

a slave with no will of his own. Well, that's

not exactly how it happened in the movie. They

just got drained. It's almost like they passed

out. Yeah. I mean, you know, you suck the life

energy out of somebody, they're gonna die. They're

not gonna become your undead zombie slave, because

let's face it, nobody wants zombies, damn it.

Keep your zombies out of my She -Ra. Yeah. Wow,

that sounds so wrong. After entering Doom Tower

disguised as a horde trooper, He -Man takes a

moment and wonders how he will find a door in

such a large place. Yeah, like did he not think

like I understand why that was cut and I'm kind

of glad it was but I mean Did he not they what's

interesting to me is seeing? Like sometimes in

this they'll show a scene that we know is in

the movie Then they'll show a scene that they

cut out of the movie and then they'll go back

to it And it's it's really interesting for me

to see you kind of like where they said, okay

Let's take the scissors and start here and then

Take them over here and just whoosh that scene

right out of there. Right. What about you for

this one? Not as much here. Again, I don't have

much for She -Ra and Shane, just like Beast Island.

I think there's some interesting ones in the

next episode. But yeah, I mean, it's mostly just

little stuff in or the things that you already

talked about. Yeah. I do have some from reunions,

though. OK, we'll talk about that in one second.

I didn't I've never noticed this and I didn't

even notice it because I watched these five episodes

right before we recorded this because I had to

get audio for them. During the transformation

into She -Ra with Castle Grayskull in the background,

the Jawbridge is missing. I've never noticed

that. Yeah. In these in these first three episodes.

Never noticed that whatsoever. So for reunions,

what do you got? Oh, I mean, I think one of the

more interesting ones is that Adam Number one

having to drag adora Into the royal throne room

because she's afraid her parents won't recognize

her I thought that was kind of interesting as

well as the whole thing with hordak and the rest

of snake mountain Where beastman and trapjaw

see hordak coming on Skeletor's tabletop view

screen an alert Skeletor who's shocked to see

him and obviously orders his men to gather up

all the evil warriors They can to stop him from

entering Was it just me, or by the time we got

to this episode and Hordak returned to Eternia

and obviously met up with... It seems like there

were more evil warriors in this episode or in

this movie for Skeletor than in all 130 episodes

of the original He -Man cartoon. You had Web

Store, you had Cobra -Con, you had Beastman,

you had Trapjaw, you had Triclops, you had...

Thank God Clawful wasn't there, but I mean...

You know, you had everybody pretty much that

we knew from He -Man, except for Evelyn. Right.

Who knows where she was, because obviously, I

know why Evelyn wasn't used, obviously, because

they wanted to put the spotlight on Shadow Weaver.

Yeah. And since Linda voices both characters,

they would essentially sound like they'd be talking

to each other. No, I'm serious. Would loved I

would love someone out there in in audio land

to put together a clip of Shadow Weaver on the

left and Evelyn on the right and you Just show

us how similar they I mean I know they sound

different But they do sound very similar because

obviously it is Linda Gary doing both right For

me with this one It's more so You know, like

you said about Adam, I wish we could have seen

that, you know? But it wouldn't have worked because

the sorceress either had already said, I believe,

that the only people that ever knew, like she

cast a spell on everybody, the only four people

that knew were her, man -in -arms, the king and

queen. But you would think, okay, so this is

one of the reasons why I wanted to do this episode,

to talk about this very point. If, you know,

Anakin and Padme had twins, one of them was stolen,

you would think that they would remember. I mean,

they do remember, but you would think that at

some point, if this is really a continuation

of He -Man in lieu of a third season of He -Man,

obviously, but, you know, if this is He -Man's

twin sister, you would think at some point, I

don't know, they probably weren't thinking this

far ahead back then. understand that but you

think at some point in any of the human episodes

We saw the sort of protection what once yeah

Very briefly on the side of the castle wall in

the inside, you know, so that's what kind of

looking back at this as an episodic event not

the movie version, but the episodic version with

with this in here and it's like You think that

they would have said something about that before?

Nonsense. Yeah, no, I know I understand I'm just

saying it doesn't like The shock of Marlena.

Well, you know, it obviously pains me obviously

Oh, you know, it's a it's a shocking moment for

oh my god, my daughter blah blah blah, you know

it like They whatever so for the Battle of Bright

Moon I wish they would have left this in for

the movie because I wish we could have seen him.

But obviously, Madame Raz is essentially the

orko for She -Ra. While having dinner with her

parents and brother, Adora tells an anecdote

about one of Madame Raz's spells misfiring and

Randor mentions that this Madame Raz sounds a

lot like you are orko. And Adam explains orko

is visiting his uncle in Trawla at the moment.

Yep, I guess he couldn't be there. Yeah, I think

the other one's a funny line too from She -Ra

Fighting Skeletor's Warriors of Snake Mountain

trap just says I'll stop her and she replies.

All right, that's it No one around here knows

how to treat a lady That's it and that's an interesting

one for sure That's the interesting thing between

he man and She -Ra between the two series One

is sexist one way. The other is sexist the other

way, right? because the men in She -Ra are meant

to all look like wimps. The fact that Bo has

to be saved... Bo is essentially the princess

in another castle at this point. He becomes that.

Even though I don't remember the episodes, I

do remember Bo needing She -Ra to save him a

lot. Right. Love the extended scene with randor

marlena and adora about you know The discussion

on returning to aetheria and like I just I think

that just is so great Yeah, I understand why

they had to cut it obvious again. It's probably

cut for time, but I do really love that Let's

see, anything else for you on this one? No, I

think we hit most of the major ones. I mean,

it's interesting to see the two versions. You

definitely notice things that, you know, were

in one that aren't in the other. Are any of them

like earth shattering or like things that, you

know, change your opinion on something? I don't

think necessarily. I'm kind of like you. I probably

prefer the film version only because of nostalgic

reasons, because that's what I remember. but

not that there's anything wrong with the episodic

versions either. I'm just excited that we're

getting into She -Ra episodes now so that we

can start hashing this out and breaking down

the episodes and seeing if it stacks up to He

-Man, if it's better, if it's worse, if it's

on par. What do we got? I'm interested to see.

I have no idea who my favorite or least favorite

characters are going to be. I had somewhat of

an idea with He -Man because I already knew I

didn't like Tila. You know, I already knew I

liked Merman and a couple other characters. I

mean, I learned about more of them as we went

through as I kind of refreshed my memory, but

I have no clue in She -Ra who I like, who I don't

like, so it's going to be an episode by episode

thing. Yeah, for me at this point, it's just

the characters in the movie that I like. Gotcha.

Like, I don't like you. I'm coming into this

fresh. I know there was a toy that I bought my

sister for Christmas. This is the most ridiculous

story because I was probably like, I don't know,

eight, nine, something like that. And my sister,

like Shira, she was a couple of years older than

me. And I remember, you know, I got to pick what

I got her for Christmas or whatever. And I picked

her a Shira doll and we went home and put it

in the hall closet. And then, you know, a month

later, when it came to time to wrap the presents,

it was gone. It was gone. And to this day. We

have no idea what happened to it. Like she didn't

get in there and opened early. Nobody, you know,

did anything, but it vanished from the face of

the earth. And we have cleaned, you know, over

the last couple of decades, obviously we've had

different times where we've cleaned the whole

house from top to bottom, not searching for that,

but just in general. And we've never come across

that doll. If we did, it would be mint in package.

So that would be cool, but it was a Frosta, I

believe, doll. And so I kind of, I guess, must

have liked that character when I was young, if

that's the one I picked to buy my sister. But

yeah, we still have no idea where that toy ended

up. Wow, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, for

me with the characters, like, I know most of

the names of the other great, like, Castaspella

and Frosta, but I don't know... What they're

like or if they're annoying if they're cool clue,

so I'm hoping as we do well Go ahead. It's gonna

be a journey for all of us not just you and I

it's gonna be a joint journey for you and I and

the listeners because We're all kind of coming

into this fresh and maybe some of those listeners

like count Marzo. Thankfully. He never shows

up Oh wait. Yes. He does show up in the series

for One or episode maybe I I think he does I

don't remember anyway uh... you know maybe count

mars or maybe even pixel dan might even pay attention

to this and those doubted he's too busy but it's

one of those things where maybe any of our listeners

who are the die hard sheer offense uh... will

come to us and say on like say next episode episode

uh... forty eight when we do the the next four

episodes of the series uh... Maybe after people

listen to that they'll they'll inform us as to

some of these character things that we do not

remember because neither one of us as I've already

said many times in the last 20 minutes or so

I Kind of like that though. I'm looking forward

to know. Yeah, that's going in with no preconceived

notions on the other thing I'm excited about

character wise is And I tried to avoid this as

much as possible when doing our recap episode

of the Masters of the Universe series is discovering

which characters that we know from He -Man. that

never showed up in He -Man but instead actually

had showed up in She -Ra and we just always kind

of connected them with He -Man because they were

supposed to be a He -Man character but they never

get used so then they were left over and they

actually end up in the She -Ra series. I know

there's a handful of them. I don't remember which

ones they are. I know I had at least one of the

toys if not two of them that I kept waiting to

see in He -Man and they never showed up so I

know they show up in She -Ra and I'm interested

to see the rest of those characters that show

up in Etheria instead of Eternia. Yeah For me

the only character that I really remember from

from she were outside of obviously what we've

seen in the movie As the character I hate This

character might be worse than T Bob and that's

saying a lot but They got this little imp And

I'm not talking about Hordak's imp. I'm talking

about this little imp named Lukey or low -key

or low -key or whatever the frig his name is

supposed to be. Low -key is a different character.

Whatever. To give the moral at the end of the

story. It's one of either Erika Shimer or Lou

Shimer's high -pitched voices. I absolutely hate

the sound of his voice. i absolutely find the

characters so annoyingly hey did you find me

today no i wasn't looking you're not friggin

waldo over there you dumbass so uh... predecessor

of all of them yeah while i'm on my new key uh...

uh... uh... rant here i will say that Becoming

into the series watching the five episodes not

the film with the five episodes and be like,

hey, where is the moral? They specifically left

it out and didn't start it until episode 6 the

Seahawk So don't worry. You haven't missed any

yet, right? Because of the fact that it was five

parts and it was a kid It was a to be continued

to be continued to be continued, right? So, you

know, so we haven't missed anything. No, we'll

be bringing all of them to you Let you know our

thoughts on them and I made I'm gonna I'm gonna

to do with you. She's... she's fated? Just like

a woman. Take her to the dungeons, Furface. I'll

contact Randor and tell him I - Pretty princess.

It's too bad we have to lock you up in the dungeon.

Thanks for the compliment, Fang. You can't do

this to me. Funny. I thought I just did it. Bye

now. Where are we going? To the lamp. Skeletor

wants us to run some tests on this sword. Princess

was carrying. What for? Odak seems to think there

was something special about it. I've freed the

princess. What? Get her! My, you boys are forward.

Oh, all right. One dance and that's it. Now you

fellows are using your heads. Just ahead of us.

Let's be careful. He -Man, look out! What happened

to them? I've got a pretty good idea. Hello,

He -Man. Sorry you missed all the fun. Who in

the world is that? Tila, man -at -arms. This

is my friend, She -Ra. Nice to meet you. Where's

Princess Adora? Uh, she's, uh... Oh, she's safe.

Right, right. Safe. Well... then what are we

doing here nothing much so let's say we all leave

fine with me i don't believe this neither do

i a female he -man oh this is the worst day of

my life all right folks that's that's gonna do

it we've set the table for the next adventure

yep It'll be the next 93 episodes. So from episode

46 to 82, I believe the interesting thing here

folks is since we've Haven't rebranded powers

graceful series obviously, but we've redone it

because it's no longer just going to be four

separate podcasts It's going to be four podcasts

in one podcast It's gonna be four podcast series

into one just giant podcast and by the time we

finish this We're going to have 125 total episodes

covering everything in the Masters of the Universe

history here. When we do things, we do things

big. Yeah. And I can't believe it's been four

years since we started this damn show. But the

interesting thing, too, is every series is less

episodes. Yes, so we had what 45 45 episodes

in human we get 35 and Shira I think 25 maybe

in space cadets and then 15 I believe in the

in the reboot or something so everyone goes down

by the same amount of episodes just about so

I'll tell you guys right now. I'll tell you listeners

right now in the myths of aetheria series in

the Shira review series. We're gonna have Two

very special episodes episode 50 and episode

75 they're going to break The mold on what we're

gonna do because episode 50 we're gonna talk

about Masters of the universe toys throughout

the generations of the brand and then in episode

75 we're gonna talk about the comics throughout

the years now the interesting thing here is I

believe Dark Horse or somebody just released

All of the original mini comics in this giant

ass book. Like all the original mini comics from

Masters of the Universe back in the day. I don't

know if the Shearer stuff is in there. I'm not

looking at any information, folks, so if you're

listening to this right now and you start to

comment on the website or tweet at me or whatever

else saying, oh yeah, it's all in there, okay,

cool, but just... No, what I'm telling you this,

I've just seen this in passing that there is

a now giant book out there with every single

mini comic that ever was back in the day. So

we're going to go over all of that. I haven't

told Kevin this yet. We'll discuss this off air.

This isn't anything major, but how this is going

to fall is we're going to have a little bit of

a break in between episode 51 and 52. for the

holidays because episode 52 kind of has to come

out right before Christmas of the podcast so

obviously just let everybody know Kevin and I

are going to be pre -producing a lot of the podcasts

so that way we can get them out to you guys in

a timely fashion the only time the episode releases

we'll probably see a break is around holidays

so like Thanksgiving and Christmas this year

obviously one thing we need to mention October

9th? No. Is it September 9th? Get your shit together.

Yeah, thank you. Yes, this is the 30th anniversary

year, but we just passed the original air date.

I think it was last month, September 9th, 1985.

30 years to the day. So we're almost doing it

in the exact same time that it would have been

done. The funny thing is is when I was looking

this up the two seasons the 93 episodes It only

lasted from 85 to 86. Yes Yep, fall fall winter

of 85 would be the one season and then fall winter

of 86 would be the other Yep, so So that's what's

going on for the She -Ra show here on Myths of

Etherea for Powers of Grayskull series. So those

of you that have been waiting for us We're back.

We're coming at you. You don't have to wait anymore

to Master Tim. Yep Brand new episodes to you

so you can dust off your She -Ra set and that's

another thing I'm getting ready to do because

obviously when we went through the He -Man one

I was very carefully screencapping all the characters,

et cetera, and building that page on Behind the

Voice Actors to a very full and complete page.

And I'll get to do the same thing with Shira

now as I capture every single character's image

and add them to the database. So in 2015, folks,

we've kind of started a, in the review podcast

area of GeekCaster, we've kind of started a female

revolution because I've had Showtime Synergy,

the gem show running. And we now have Shira so

at some point we're gonna have to do a GCN wars

where it's Jim versus Shira Or we can just do

all of the the female Cartoon icons we can throw

Penny from inspector gadget in there Strawberry

shortcake and rainbow bright. Yeah, but I remember

now what Why I was thinking Jim versus She -Ra.

BGC are in awards at the end of the year since

Powers of Grayskull won the award last year.

That's what I was thinking. We'd have to get

a bunch of episodes out of Mists of Ethereus

to make ourselves eligible and compete for that.

We will. We will. And it includes me, so it's

probably a shoe -in for the winner. Ha. Funny.

Funny. Thank you for listening to Myths of Etherea.

season one those being the seahawk the red knight

the missing axe and the prisoners of Beast Island.

For now, I am TF2 and Mike with Optimus Solo.

I thought you were gonna say prisoners of Eskaban

there for a second. No. Okay. By the power and

for the honor of Grayskull, you all have the

power. And the honor. Harry said that. Listen

to them cheer. It's good to hear them so happy.

How about you? Aren't you happy? Yes. And no.

You are not returning to Eternia with me, are

you? I can't. Hordak was right. One battle doesn't

win a war. And it's a war, Etheria's fighting.

I'm needed here, He -Man. At least for now. I

understand. And in a way, I feel maybe things

were meant to happen like this. Me becoming He

-Man to protect Eternia. You becoming She -Ra

to do the same on Etheria. Yes. I feel that too.

I only wish it made things easier. Tell Mother

and Father I love them. I will. Ready to go home,

Donald Cat? Sure, He -Man! Say goodbye to all

my friends here, will you? And if you should

ever need my help... I'll call. And if you ever...

I'll know just who to ask for. Up, Swift Wind!

Farewell, She -Ra, Princess of Power!
