Has anyone ever noticed the similarities between the He-Man universe and Jack Kirby's Third World Saga? Some of the characters were lifted right out of the pages from DC Comics.
I find it funny that people can come down on 'He-Man' for promoting violence, and satanism to kids, yet nobody wants to criticize 'Twilight' for promoting co-dependancy, and submission to little girls. Especially to manipulative dominating stalker vampires.
There was a book written about all this, I believe Sweet wrote it, it clearly explains the origin, inception and exection of waht became MOTU. Also provided a defense for Sweet.
@crb4059 It's clear that you haven't researched some of the claims made in the book. Several holes have been poked into his self-promoting tale since it came out. Even reading the book alone, one can tell that this guy is a nutjob.
The show was shit, the toys were as ugly as they could be, and there is a squabble between the animators and writers and one screwball who thinks his hideous drawings should have earned him a billion dollars. What a world.
However, it's criminal that the people responsible for the show don't get any back end. That is just wrong.
@electrojones what so you think the guy in the pink shirt is the one responsible? that guys drawings were pretty decent btw. but they were sketches, y'know for speed and basically made just to get a point across so that further detailed drawings can be made later.
I was Orko at a Toy Store appearance when I was 10 years old-- The crowds were so out of control, we had to run FAST! He-Man and Skeletor each grabbed an arm and my "feet" (hidden by the costume) were off the ground. The kids flipped out and screamed: "Orko is FLYING!!!"
All I remember is being terrified seeing over 500 people running after us.
All lot of them seem like man-children who never quite grew up, still arguing over whose toy is whose. It's a shame really, because the franchise should be for the fans and for kids today who might enjoy it, not about profits and residuals.
@Radlein filmation deserves all the credit for orko.mainly because back in the day most toons needed their token comedy relief character.i like the think of orko as a link for the younger kids.
Roger Sweet came up with the name He-Man, and the original prototype as the starting point for the figure's design. Mark Taylor needs to lighten up a bit, and give Roger some credit. In the end, MOTU wouldn't have existed without the efforts of all these people working together.
This is great! I love the part about He-Man, satanism and witchcraft. When I was a kid, I didn't even know what "satanism" meant. I had no idea all of this was going on.
