OUR THOUGHTS:
Launching out of the gate with a thrilling palace attack that reveals a bigger diabolical plan by Skeletor, this episode quickly takes a trippy turn for the worse or better (depending on one's taste.) Packed with an thinly veiled environmental message, this became a fun ride for us in a twisted world of Looney Tunes. (8/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “Dawn of Dragoon”
Cool episode that I feel like didn’t utilize it’s full potential because of it’s set runtime.
I legit want to see more of the world ruled by Skeletor’s alternate universe fursona who looks like a knock-off of Jaxxon from early Star Wars legends.
Like what are counterparts of the other characters like? I also think this and the concept of He-Man losing his memory would’ve worked better as separate episodes.
Though looking up his page on Wiki Grayskull I read the Plundor is actually inspired by Matt Groening’s Life in Hell comic strip years before his massive Simpsons fame. Find that interesting
@slycooperastroboy51 This episode would have been a great candidate for two parts.
Bucky O’Hare’s evil twin
This an amazing episode and our first appearance of Zodac. I love it! I can’t forget Plundor! Plundor! Plundor! Bunny muscles! I love that pink bunny and I love this world. Why couldn’t He-Man visit again in a later episode or why couldn’t Plundor escape to Eternia? Imagine an episode where Skeletor and Plundor work together? That would have been amazing. This one is excellent 9/10.
Can Mattel please make a Cartoon Collection Plundor figure for Easter maybe?
This episode was too goofy for my taste.
4 stars. Great setup, the main villans are made to look dangerous and who doesnt love the goofy good guys teamup. Yeah plundor is a cheeseball but the episode was better than i remember it.
Oh man! I forgot how great this episode was!! We have an evil bunny villain who breaks the fourth wall to introduce himself to the audience and then He-Man pulls a Dr. Strangelove and rides a rabbit rocket genesis bomb to its grand explosion revitalizing the whole planet. What a trip!! I second the vote for some cartoon line versions of the characters from this episode.
