Is this better than the 1983 cartoon

The 2002 IS what the 80's version of He-Man tried to be but couldn't due to the Standards & Practices that animated cartoons had at the time against violence and whatnot etc.

Pity we didn't get season 3 cos i think the appearence of 'The Evil Horde' would've generated even more hardcore stories and given us some real kickass action scenes. It's probaly one of the last cartoon that lives up to the standard of great animated shows people wished had continued onwards akin to; Gargoyles, X-Men (1990's version), Spider-Man (early 90's version), TMNT (2003 version), Avatar, Batman TAS, Superman TAS, Justice League Unlimited, and Jackie Chan Adventures.

And seeing how cartoons of the 21st century, now have a wannabe and rather blatant 'anime' influence, and seem to be very watered down for today's audience of kids, without ever being clever enough to try and lure older types and are only targeted towards pruely kids alone, 2002's MOTU series; seems to be one of the last cartoons of a generation, to ever remind us of how great 2D animation is, and what we're missing out on, as of today in terms of storytelling and adventurous sci-fi/fantasy, action adventure series.

They don't make'em like that anymore. And even genuine anime getting weaker too!

Yes this series was better than the 80's MOTU toon. Pity it didn't have as many episodes to give us even more proof of that though!

I actually prefer this Skeletor's voice to the old one. It has a lot more creulty to it, and less of the buffoonishness. Also, you've never catch this Skeletor being infected by the Christmas Spirit.
