This is legitimately interesting as episodes of He-Man go

#92

Isn’t He-man’s ma fom Earth and was an astronaut?

That is in the opening section of this. I wasn’t aware but then I didn’t make much of a point of watching it unless it happened to be on.

Always thought it odd that He-man’s parents don’t look any older than him really. Only man-at-arms looks older than any of the other characters due to his tache. Weird.

And I’d be well up for an animated movie version of the He-man/Thundercats crossover from recent years just for this one awesome and very spoilery scene:

Think they removed the old man Indiana Jones introductions to each episode

Ended up on the he-man Wikipedia via she-ra, 2 seasons but like 140 episodes, seems excessive

They reused so much footage it’s unreal. Every episode has most of the same character animations plus a lot of it is bollocks.

The original Transformers cartoon has 65 episodes in Season 2 or something. Fuck knows how that happens.

He-man and transformers were just ads for toys really. The creators are quite open about it. He-man couldn’t even keep consistency between the show and the comics that came with the toys. Contradicted themselves on even the basics.

Yeah it seems so

I guess maybe that would improve them? That framing was always a bit odd and didn’t really settle with me. Mainly I recall episodes like The Phantom Train of Doom one as being actually decent stuff (and starring Paul Freeman who played Belloq in Raiders, which was amusing).

my over riding memory of whenever I watched them was that I had been tricked into watching something educational

I mean that was the idea but I enjoyed it nonetheless

Don’t blame me, I made a serious post.

I CAN EXPLAIN THIS

It’s cos cartoons used to either run Saturdays or weekdays. If they ran weekdays they usually needed enough episodes to fill 3 months/13 weeks of schedules, and 13 x 5 = 65.

So you’d either straight up produce 65, or aim for that over a few years.

Aha cheers. US TV mechanics were definitely odd. I hope they’re glad that 13 episodes is becoming normal
