Skeletor!!!.

Yes, you read right!. Skeletor is the star of this show for me!.

They made him into one bad MOFO, compared to the one from the 1980's show. And this is coming from a person who was a fan of the original show and used to own a bunch of "He Man and the MOTU" toys as a kid.

He ended up unleashing the Shadow Beasts on his own henchmen for failing to accomplish their tasks in the "Night of the Shadow Beasts" episode and fused those two bounty hunters together for failing to work as a team in the "The Monster Within" episode.

Yes sir, Skeletor is one bad dude you don't *beep* with!. Too bad this show only lasted 2 seasons.

Please Bill Schultz and Cartoon Network, bring this show back!!!

I WANT SEASON 3!!! :-(

Oh yeah Skeletor in this show was much edgier and the cool thing about him was that he still retained the same vocal mannerisms like the original show. I give Brian Dobson props for sounding heavily like the original Skeletor. The only thing I wish was that Skeletor's bolts that were shot from his Havoc Staff were purple instead of yellow or at least kind of like the New Adventures of Heman Skeletor's bolts were.

Another thing is I wish they didn't make Skeletor weak against Heman's super strength like they did for the original, I kinda hate that. Sure, this series' Skeletor could fight well like a ninja than the original but I wish they made him on par and imposing with his powers and fighting skills against Heman's super strength like they did for him in the Liveaction Movie and the New Adventures series.

Yeah, i know what you mean.

But for me, this show was like a modern reboot of the original series. I believe that if they had continued the series, we would have seen an episode in which Skeletor finally finds a way to increase his strength and power, making him more powerful and able fight against He-Man in a one-on-one battle.

How Epic would it be if he had that kind of form in this series?

[–] Shadow8469 13 years ago

DAAAAMMMMNNN!!!. Why, oh why must you torture me!

That Skeletor form kicks ass!!!. It would have been awesome to see him battling it out with He-Man. If only this show came back.

This show had so much potential...and they stopped it in Season 2. Just because the toy line didn't sell.

What a downer.

LOL! I know what you mean. I bet you if we had that Skeletor with his Godlike form as part of the toy line, he would turbo charge the Toy Sales to save the show. Who wouldn't want to get their hands on that Skeletor as an action figure?!

[–] Shadow8469 13 years ago

*Imitating Skeletor, as in the show*

"Yes...the action figure would sell like hot cakes, the show would go back on the air and viewers would get the much anticipated and long awaited third season!!!."

*Laughs maniacally, as Skeletor does in the show*

*In Skeletor's voice again:*

"Cartoon Network and Bill Schultz, you better be taking notes!. DarklordRB just found you a way to save the show!. Now, get going!!!".

*Imitation ends*

No Problem!.

Nah. As awesome as he looks, God-Skeletor would just have been another variant. There were too many as it is. I couldn't remember all the different He-Men and Skeletors for the life of me. This is why the toy line - and by extension, the show - bombed. The marketing strategy was so *beep* up. What did they think? That kids would actually play with more than one He-Man/Skeletor? That collectors would be all over the variants? That nobody would like to buy Teela and Evil-Lyn? *d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!*

I know there were so many superfluous variant of He-Man and Skeletor which ruined the marketing of the Toyline. But I think God-Skeletor is far more unique from those other variants. The god-form should be to Skeletor what Galvatron is to Megatron.

Old Skeletor was a joke compared to the new one. Sure New Skelly is amusing, but mainly because of his cruelty rather than his ineptitude.

Skeletor is deliciously evil. It is one of the most awesome bad guys ever.

1. Evil Laugh
2. Deceit
3. Anger
4. Arrogance
5. Ego
6. Hell bent on achieving world domination
7. Self serving - i.e. only cares about himself and no one else
8. Persevering - Will stop at nothing to achieve all he wants
