Tomorrow’s Episode is: “To Save Skeletor”
4 stars. Great mystery, well paced,funny dialogue, great animation.
I need a welcome mat that says this 🤣
This one was so worth it. Skeletor riding Mer-Man and Whiplash like the girl rides dolphins at Sea World was hilarious.
I remember this episode well, have seen it not too long ago. Loved the mystery, seeing Buzz-Off and Whiplash, that hilarious scene with Skeletor riding W and MM… A strong showing!
A few years ago I heard someone make the comment that this is a perfect “Saturday afternoon episode." I don’t know why that fits, but it seems like a perfect description. I really enjoy it, it builds a good mystery and story.
Mer-Man and Whiplash make a great duo as well, it’s too bad we didn’t get more of this. It’s funny how they’re typically two of Skeletor’s most competent warriors but here they’re played more like Beatman and Trap-Jaw. It works in this context though.
Finally, you know the story is great when He-Man’s barely in it but you hardly notice.
