He-Man and the Masters of the Universe/Fridge
Fridge Brilliance
- The 2003 revival of He Man and The Masters of The Universe was a great reboot that made this old-time fan happy and I particularly liked the character of Prince Adam, who was much more developed and behaved like a spoiled teenager who had to become his world's version of Superman. He-Man, though... one could chalk up his Cape-like demeanor to a throwback to how he acted in the old series, puns and all, but it eventually hit me that it makes perfect sense for Adam to act that way since he's supposed to be a legendary hero: he's over-acting in universe! Why else would he dub the good guys "Masters of the Universe?" It sounds exactly like something a teenager would come up with for a garage band or something. One could even imagine that Adam read a lot of Eternian comics or the equivalent of them. They really did a good job on that series. - koolkame
