King Randor

Alison Brie plays Evelyn.

James Purefoy and Charlotte Riley play King Randor and Queen Marlena.

Marina Baccarin plays the Sorceress.

Kristen Wiig voices Roboto.

You know, like, I think it should have been at some point, you know, like, cause in, in the filmmation series and in most He-Man lore, uh, Queen Marlena is from earth.

She was an astronaut, uh, that went through like a wormhole or something and she crashed on Eternia and, uh, Prince Randor found her and rescued her.

They fell in love.

And when he became King, she became his queen.

So you can't really do that now because, yeah, it doesn't work.

And I just wish, you know, they had had somebody else and actually someone a little bit better to play Fisto too, because he could be, you know, potentially a good character to, you know, bring up more prominently in spinoff movies.

Another nitpick I had was the casting of King Randor.

That guy sucked.

Here we go.

The reign of Randor comes to an end this night.

You believed yourself so strong you stopped fearing what lurked in the shadows.

It was me.

He spent the last 15 years not living up to it.

That's very true.

The last thing he says before he falls into this drunken stupor or whatever you want to say, he looks right at King Randor and he says, no harm will come to you or your family.

You're good.

While going through the motions of modern corporate life, Adam is desperately searching for the Sword of Power, the magic talisman that can bring him home.

When the sword is found at a comic book shop, Adam must cease his milquetoast American individualist life to return to Eternia and defeat Skeletor and his thugs, and meet up with his friends, and his mommy, and his daddy.

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Just love the eyebrows looking.

Randor seems a bit off his game this episode.

Well, maybe it's all the potions they've been huffing up.

Yeah.

That technology was there.

And it was only for the bad guys, like of course they're going to win because they've got the distance and they got the artillery and you know you got a guy with a mace and a scimitar, they're just screaming running at you like that's going to hit so like, did, did, did King Randor only have like the backing or the bank space for like one blaster rifle it was going to just his main guard like that's pretty crappy.

You know, there were no, like, artillery batteries for, like, air warfare.

They didn't even have any, like, catapults.

about, talking about, yeah, talking about that movie critic by Tarantino.

I

really enjoyed that when Adam got knocked out after the scene with Randor and he passed away and everything, they threw him in the cell that he transformed back.

I thought that was something that didn't expect to see.

Will fan disappointment make a difference, or are we already beyond the point of no return? Yes, we use AI as a tool when it speeds production up.

The design work is ours, Chromatic Studio said of its costume exploration sketches for King Randor, Ruler of Eternos, when asked on Instagram whether the images were made using AI.

A lot of people aren't buying that justification about speeding up the process.

AI slop plus the guy who overpainted this clearly did not enjoy this.

Anyway.

He's trying to find Randor and He-Man.

Oh.

No one's coming! I don't want to be seen

Yeah,

whatever kind of MacGuffin rock was in a couple of these episodes.

But the other thing is it implies a prison society enforced by Randor where people who commit crimes are given hard labor.

which maybe we've assumed Randor's the good guy, but I don't know.
