After a death changes Eternia forever, further unlikely alliances must rebuild and bring balance to Eternia.
In Revolution Kevin Smith and company again offers a great written series with an outstanding voice cast and fantastic animation.
Again, the story tone is dark, with a main character's death in the first episode! Season 2's episodes, like its predecessor, are not self-contained, with a continual story. There are plenty of twists, high stakes, and emotional shenanigans on the backdrop of Eternia's magic versus technology.
Once again it sadly drops the visual aesthetics and wonderful backgrounds of the 1980s original series, but beggars can't be choosers. The main thing is that we get a continuation of the original series, and season 2 continues to deliver.
There are even more callbacks and nods to other media, stories, characters, comics, figures, even the film; including Keldor, Hordak, Gwildor, She-Ra, and even Stone-Dar appears.
The voice cast is worthy of a live-action film. Outstanding Mark Hamill and Lena Headey return, to name a few, and some have been replaced (but you wouldn't tell, including Melissa Benoist replacing Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela). New voice actors notably include the excellent William Shatner; Keith David; Meg Foster; Liam Cunningham; Gates McFadden and more.
Overall, Revolution may not visually be exactly what old school fans want, but it continues to inject new life, connect dots, and offer world-building stories to the Masters of the Universe. Highly recommended.
