He-Man and the Masters of the Universe – Orko the Great

  • Title: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe – Orko the Great
  • wiki: link

The reimagined He-Man and the Masters of the Universe introduces Ork-O (Tom Kenny) as a magician whose consciousness Duncan (Antony Del Rio) puts into a robot causing all kinds of trouble for the kingdom. The set-up allows for the idea of this Orko perhaps being a good wizard, just not in his new form where his magic turns out to be unpredictable. With a stolen hat and scarf, it also doesn’t take much for the flying robot to begin to look more and more like the Orko we know. The search for the chaotic robot who heads to the palace after causing trouble inside Castle Grayskull, also provides a reason for Adam (Yuri Lowenthal) to visit the palace and discover his father mourns his loss. It also lets the king know that his brother (but not yet his son) is still alive.
