We have the Power!
I've never really liked this episode. Like you, it feels like it has missed potential. None of the Season 2 and 3 Heroic Warriors had more than 4 appearances each, this could have been a great showcase for one of them, especially Moss-Man or Sy-Clone who we haven't even met yet on screen, or even someone like Stratos or Ram-Man. We're too invested at this point for a one-off "friend of He-Man" to just move the plot along. Even though it's a little different, I always loved the Golden Book "The Magic Mirrors", that would have been a fun episode to adapt.
I do admit the whole Skeletor double was fun, especially when he has to say "He-Man, I am your friend."
@battlecat327 Skeletor's double is the best part. I wish he would have stayed around as "Nice Skeletor" and join the good guys. Wouldn't that be funny?
Okay episode.
Best part is the Skeletor double though I feel like that on it's own could've been a funny episode.
3 stars. Not a bad episode but would have worked better with an actual heroic warrior. Also another episode where snake mountain is penetrative ridiculously easily.
