This is one of my favorite episodes. To me, this episode rationalizes how Adam’s secret identity works so well, In general nobody thinks that He-Man isn’t just He-Man. It’s not like Batman - hiding his face and no super powers, this is the most powerful man in the Universe and doesn’t hide his face. I love how even a genius like Modulok notes that he never thought of that. Only slight complaint is Modulok’s human form doesn’t really seem to fit.
Karille talking to Adam and Cringer cracks me up every time the way they think she’s talking about Adam.
Cringer "Wait if we should tell the truth and be ourselves does that mean I don't have to be battle cat anymore?"
Adam "No Cringer none of that bullshit applies to you."
lol
Perfect episode. I love the relationship between Karil and Farin. It feels so real. You know if Eternia was real there would be a lot of young women in love with He-Man and so many boyfriends jealous. The only problem is Farin's plan wouldn't last in the long-term. Adam and Cringer's reaction when Karil thinks she knows He-Man's secret is classic. So good.10/10
5 stars. Great character work, original plot and villan origin. What more could you want?
