I listened to this, the Fatman Beyond podcast is actually the only Kevin Smith-related thing I follow. He let quite a few spoilers slip for episodes 6-10, mainly trying to answer all the criticism of the first half of the show.
Spoiler!
Episode 7 features a 7-minute He-Man vs Skeletor fight scene that he compared to the fight scenes in Invincible. Orko is coming back, which they likened to the return of Gandalf. They're going to pick up the plot thread from the old cartoon of Teela being the Sorceress's daughter. And finally that there will be a season 2, to be released in 2023.

I caught some of it, and I seems like Netflix has caused a lot of this shit. Smith said that these episodes are all one large episode, and that he wasnt aware they all werent being released at once.
He said it made for a nice cliffhanger, whatever that means, but there would be a lot less pissed off people if they were all released at once and you could get the whole story instead of just a piece of it.
I still think its monumentally stupid to have your main draw for the show absent for at least half of your story you are telling, but if you stick the landing, ill give credit where its due.
Having your main draw absent for half of the story, and then Netflix making everyone wait to see the rest, that's absolutely crippling.
Like how many are just not gonna give a shit and not see the rest? [Reply]
I watched the first couple episodes and didn't love it, but He-Man was definitely a fair bit before my time. I watched some reruns on the 90s and that's about as far as I've gone with the show so most of these characters mean nothing to me.
I'll probably finish it because the episodes are short and it's easy to get through. It definitely hasn't piqued my interest just yet, though. [Reply]
