We have the Power!
I love Spikor in this. His weird voice and how like Clawful, in certain moments he's more well animated than this show usually allows, i mean the way his face stretches when we first see him in the episode is funny.
This is a great episode for so many reasons - J Michael does a great job of both bringing out personality in the characters but also subverting expectations- after the first three minutes everyone just assumes it’s He-Man vs Skeletor, not Fisto vs Spikor.
I love seeing Mer-Man again after awhile but I’m sad this is his final Filmation appearance- I think he would have made a great “guest-star” She-Ra villain, either with Skeletor or without.
This episode has also been fun for me because when my son was first watching he’d always want to watch this one for two reasons: 1. It has Spikor in it 2. He-Man mocking Spikor with “sPiKoR tAlKs ToO mUcH!”
