The New Adventures of He-Man is an animated series which ran in syndication in the second half of 1990 while Mattel released the toy line He-Man, an update of their Masters of the Universe line.^[2] The cartoon series was intended to be a continuation of Filmation's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, but Filmation's parent Westinghouse Broadcasting had shut down the studio a year earlier. Instead, while existing in the same continuity, a new central story was created for this series. It's also the first He-Man series to feature a Canadian voice cast.

This would mark the final entry in the original Masters of the Universe continuity until He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, as the franchise as a whole would be rebooted twelve years later.^[1]

Synopsis

He-Man, legendary defender of the planet Eternia, has been summoned to the futuristic planet of Primus to defend the planet from the evil Mutants of the neighboring planet of Denebria. However, his old adversary Skeletor has followed him and allied himself with the Mutants in his fight to conquer the whole universe. Together with a team of Galactic Guardians from Primus, He-Man fights to defend the planet and all its power resources from the continuous attacks by Skeletor and the Mutants.^[3]^[4]^[5]

Minicomics

In the New Adventures mini-comics packaged with the toys, the story is slightly different: when Prince Adam and Skeletor travel to Primus, Adam becomes He-Man in front of Skeletor, revealing his secret identity and giving up the identity of Prince Adam to remain permanently as He-Man. The "explosion" from the transformation damages Skeletor and he has to become a cyborg in order to survive. Also in the comics, Skeletor does not fake allegiance to Flogg. Instead, he defeats Flogg and assumes full command of the Evil Mutants.

The element of the transformation from Adam to He-Man is retained from the first cartoon series, as the makers felt it would be unwise to abandon it given that the transformation sequence had been one of the most popular elements of the original series. However, in this series, one word in the transformation line is different - instead of "By the power of Grayskull...I have the power!", he says "By the power of Eternia...I have the power!"

Reception

The show has been compared to the original series, with most reviews noting a dramatic shift in tone, creating a sense of discontinuity compared to the original.^[8] The quality of the animation is considered superior, but the character designs have been described as bland.^[1]^[5] Just like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe it has PSAs at the end of each episode.^[9]
