Masters of the Universe Revelation Review

-
My honest review of Masters of the Universe Revelation on Netflix: My brother and I both liked it, had a lot of the toys growing up. I thought the show was more ground in reality as much as it could be. Sure I had some nitpicks, but it gave the characters human nature, rather than their campy end of the episode laughing at 'who wants cake' vibe. 

I think a big part of the problem is the spread of toxicity and bullying online. I see an entire agenda of people just wanting to destroy Kevin Smith, making fun of him crying or literally bullying him the same way I saw boys bullying me on the playground 30+ years ago and its sickening. They see Kevin as "the bad guy" who destroyed their "hero" but at the same time they are being villains themselves. 

The artwork was great. Fantastic musical score, character development and nostalgia. 

The biggest complaint I hear among the guys is the show should be called "She-Man" - of course a direct jab at making fun of gender, when I know damn well they also watched and loved the She-Ra cartoon as kids, at least I did; or that Kevin Smith lied. 

I don't think he lied, he said the show was "about" He-man and it really was, despite which characters were in the forefront. It was about human nature, and loss, and how people deal with the absence of their hero during difficult times, and we only got half the season, so there is still going to be a "redemption arc" most likely. 

I still stand by my opinion that most of those people who truly hate it, of that type of misogynistic / masculine nature. There is a wide spectrum and division in everything lately, whether it is politics, this pandemic, TV shows, relationships, people are simply being horrible to each other and tearing everyone down. 

Kevin Smith did not deserve all the hate he is getting, his writing was fantastic, the art direction was top notch. It had heart and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I blame Netflix to an extent in that they split the season in half and we do not know the rest of the journey for He-man and Skeletor yet. There were episodes in the 80s as well in which He-man was captured and Teela had to save him. 

They hate Prince Adam now, yet he was more flamboyant in the 80s, these are the same guys who joke that Prince Adam was gay. So now they make him a more realistic young man, and they now call him a wimp - the focus was not on the size of his muscles, but of his heart and his sacrifice to save his friends, thats a real hero, and besides, there should be a noticeable difference between Adam and He-man other than his clothing. That entire 80s thing where no one knew he was He-Man but they both looked exactly the same always bothered me. 

Anyway. I learned my lesson by poking a stick in the beehive and "gaslighting" so I have been told, to the show haters. I retire back into what I love and enjoy. It is sad that it probably will not get a second season because of people who hate "wokeness" so to speak.

THE GHOSTS THAT HAUNT ME - Contacting Dad through Music

As I jump ahead to more recent times, a lot of life changes have come my way over the past 4 years. One major life experience was losing my father in September of 2012. My father Richard, had passed away in his sleep due to complications from ongoing heart disease. I had just recently moved 3,000 miles from the east coast to the west coast to the state of Washington. My father had suffered for many years toward the end of his life, very severe depression, and on occasions had actually attempted suicide.  At times he would just sit and stare at the walls, as if his normal self was not present in his body.  When he was well, he was jovial, witty, liked to joke around, would talk your ear off and tell strangers on the street his entire life story if they allowed it. Surprisingly a month before he died, he called me out of the blue for my birthday. He was back to his old self, joking with me on the phone and we had made plans for him to possibly move out west and live the re

Hurricane Manipulation?

There are some closeminded and judgemental folks out there that believe the storms and so forth are God's judgements upon people. I am a non judgemental person, and I believe in a loving creator who does not punish us. In my sentence I in no way meant that this was an event designed by "God" to punish anyone, in fact I have little tolerance myself to anyone who claims this was God's way of saying things are getting bad. I do not believe that. Perhaps I should have made it more clear, that during meditation before the storm hit, my spirit guides shown me that the path of the storm was being guided by "dark forces" with a specific purpose to hurt the economy, and send us into more imbalance. I was shown that H.A.A.R.P. had a hand in making the storm happen the way it did. I was also shown that good spiritual forces were working overtime to counteract this storm. I'm sure someone will think "Oh this is just another conspiracy theory, that we don
