I was going to love it. And I did.
If Part 1 was "The Teela Show" then Part 2 was that and "The Evil-Lyn" show.
Though I am happy to also report that my other favorite character, Duncan the Man-at-Arms, also fared well.
My enjoyment of Evil-Lyn in particular and the MotU, in general, come not from watching the show back in the 80s all that much, but instead from one episode. The Witch and the Warrior, written by none other than Paul Dini himself. In an interesting twist, Paul Dini created the character Harley Quinn and Kevin Smith the executive producer of Masters of the Universe: Revelation named his own daughter Harley Quinn Smith.
Watching this was a fun romp through nostalgia land and there were more than a few tongue-in-cheek references. Also having Lena Headly as Evil-Lyn, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela and Liam Cunningham as Duncan was great. And Mark Hamil chewing up the scenery as Skeletor? That's just the icing on a great cake.
We get more background on Teela, and the payoff the original series promised. We get some more background on Evil-Lyn which is also great, but I think it is different than in other versions of this franchise. No matter really, I know even less about those.
Personally, I am thrilled we got a kick-ass Teela and Evil-Lyn. I always felt that He-Man himself was the least interesting character in the franchise, though this one made me feel a little different about that.
I like where it ended for all the characters involved. But especially for Evil-Lyn.
No new season has been announced, but I like what I am seeing here to be honest.
