We started this podcast looking through the lens of whimsy and nostalgia will also bringing our current thoughts on the stories and toys of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. And among those initial thoughts and conversations emerged the thought "What would a MOTU series look like if it was done in today's world?" Well, we need to wonder no lo…

Break out your bibs and the lemon butter, because we're fixin' to get CRACKIN'!!Somehow we've made it THIS long without discussing the CRABBIEST baddie this side of Snake Mountain, CLAWFUL!!

It's easy while talking about all the muscle-bound heroes, warriors, and monsters of MOTU to forget about the "little guys". The ones who are all too easily looked over and taken for granted, and then, before you know it...BAM!! You have either a gigantic strawberry stuck on your head, or you're being whisked away through a portal, taking you from …

As we continue revisiting some of our favorite MOTU characters, it dawned on us (again) how absolutely badass and cool this character truly is!This is the sort of dude that if you saw coming at you from across the street, you'd throw whatever you had in your hands at him and run for the hills (while openly weeping, of course).

We at Make Eternia Great Again have an appreciation for the characters that didn't get their time in the limelight.When He-Man was getting all the love, our hearts went out to Buzz-Off.

Just when you thought you'd never need a Rebrunk Nurus in your life, along comes Mantenna to prove you wrong!One of the villains of the Evil Horde, Mantenna was probably one of the more fun characters in that his powers and "action feature" were over the top and a straight up bonkers. His character design, and overall look were a bit scary, but sti…

K'ull'leusshhhh is his name, but you can just call him, LEECH! I mean, who wouldn't? We're not even sure how you pronounce that anyways! Leech is one of Hordak's henchmen from the his loyal Horde army. He used his magically enhanced energy-draining powers to suck enemies of their strength!

When you create something, let's say a podcast, it's super fun to hear people's feedback (especially when it's positive).
