Was there a narrative reason - some kind of protective spell, the fact that Grayskull and the Orb reside there, Evil Lyn flat out saying she wants to kill the Eternians the old fashioned way to make it more fun, *something* that doesn't just scream bad writing? But wiping out the last traces of someone (assuming there is nothing beyond Preternia), is worse.I am not asking why she became genocidal - I am asking why didn't she just 'Thanos' Eternia like she did with Preternia. Actually it's worse because if you kill someone and there is an afterlife, they still get to exist. I guess it's not really killing if you are ending the existence of a being in heaven, but to me its basically the same. But wiping out the last traces of someone (assuming there is nothing beyond Preternia), is worse. I think the fact that she did kill others instead of herself points to her actually being, to some degree, evil. Maybe she had other reasons.Ī lot of time destructive urges come straight from the unconscious so maybe she doesn't even know why she did it. I don't recall her saying this, but I don't remember everything she said. This is just me thinking things through, putting myself into her shoes. The other champions aren't gods, but they are in heaven and were the major forces for good, so maybe she blamed them for not fixing the world, for not making the world a better place, for not defeating the evil that caused her parents to try to eat her, that resulted in Skeletor abusing her for all those years, for all the pains and death and destruction that play out on a daily basis. Maybe she was upset at all the previous heroes in Preternia for not making a difference in her life. I'd have to watch it again, which I will at some point. Why she didn't just end her life instead of everyone else's, I don't know. She didn't mean anything and neither did anyone else. The struggles, including everything she had done to make up for her parents trying to eat her and all the awfulness that came after that, meant nothing. So the pains of her life suddenly had no meaning either, ie, there was no way to redeem them, to transform that pain into something meaningful to her. Once she had that power and looked into the void she didn't see any meaning to life. Cue misadventures.Īn existential tantrum brought on by the pointlessness of all life, so far as she could tell. Only MAA, Orko, Cringer and the Sorceress know Adam is He-man. Teela is secretly her daughter, Skeletor a demon from another dimension trying to unlock the secrets of Grayskull for himself to rule Eternia and the key to unlocking those secrets if the Power Sword. MOTU: Prince Adam is the Prince of Eternia, Man-At-Arms leads him to Castle Grayskull where the Sorceress gives him the Power Sword granting him the power to become He-man. Kid get powers of a spider, misuses them, uncle gets killed as a result, dedicates his life to helping others as Spider-man as a way to redeem his inaction, cue ongoing misadventures. But it does work as a continuation of the “story” meaning the same basic set up and assumptions in the same way that Spider-man: Homecoming is a continuation of the classic Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-man story. They also clarified later they didn’t have those rights. They don’t even have the rights to it and that’s public knowledge. And yet the story they crafted can’t ever work as a sequel, knowingly in any way, as a sequel to Filmation.
