Masters of the Universe: Revolution - Ascension

The two major threads of “Ascension” focus on Adam (Chris Wood) choosing between the crown and He-Man after the arrival of his uncle Keldor (William Shatner) and Teela (Melissa Benoist) beginning her journey to restore Preternia. An invasion by Skeletor (Mark Hamill) and his Motherboard virus which takes a few new victims before being sent packing thanks in large part to Keldor’s heroics making Adam’s choice easier (albeit also tipping the hand to the audience of the obvious twist far, far too soon).

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of

Suddenly at the entrance to the Underworld, because why bog down your audience in the logical progression of plot or story when randomly jumping ahead is just easier, Percy (Walker Scobell) and his friends descend looking to both free Percy’s mother and retrieve the magical artifact that Percy discovers has been in his backpack for multiple episodes. And, here’s the kicker, Hades (Jay Duplass) doesn’t even want it.

Delicious in Dungeon - Living Armor

Living Armor would see an odd choice for a group of adventures who enjoying eating their kills in the dungeon but the walking  suits of armor are the creature of the episode as Laios (Damien C. Haas) discovers the armor isn’t animated by magic, as everyone assumes, but by creatures living inside. While the others keep the various armor busy, Laios defeats the leader learning the secret of the creatures and discovering yet another delicacy one can only find in the dungeon. “Living Armor” also fills in a bit of the knight’s backstory.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution - Even for Kings

Spinning out of the events of Masters of the Universe: Revelation, the opening episode of Masters of the Universe: Revolution kicks off with a fan-friendly opening battle sequence featuring He-Man (Chris Wood) and several recognizable characters in Subternia fighting to free the souls of fallen friends from Scare Glow (Tony Todd) whose design I still find unfortunately too similar to one of, if not the, most recognizable characters of the franchise. Honestly, there’s not much reason for the likes of Snout Spout, Ram Man, and Buzz Off to be included here other than a bit of fan service for those who collected those figures, but it does deliver a big battle to kick off the new series.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - We Take a Zebra to Vegas

The premise of “We Take a Zebra to Vegas” is that people lose track of time in casinos. That, with a bit of magic thrown in providing a magical reason for characters to be distracted, is pretty much all there is to the episode with Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) finally emerging from Hermes‘ (Lin-Manuel Miranda) casino after days missing the deadline imposed by the gods. Despite their failure, Percy chooses to move forward with his quest to the Underworld (although he still doesn’t know how to get there).
