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).

Dragons: The Nine Realms - Uncharted Territory

Offering another example of Tom (Jeremy Shada) getting carried away and pushing the team more than he should, “Uncharted Territory” also allows for bonding between Alex (Aimee Garcia) and Eugene (Vincent Tong), when they are separated from their dragons in a blizzard in the Cold Realm, and between Feathers and Webmaster who work together to survive until they are found. While I reject the premise that Alex is an outsider to the group at this point in the series, the pairings of humans and dragons works well enough to give Eugene and his dragons more allies in the group. “Uncharted Territory” is also notable for its epilogue in which Tom discovers he can unlock the capsule using one of the horns on his Viking helmet leading to another discovery.

Delicious in Dungeon - Roast Basilisk/Omelet/Kakiag

The party’s descent into the dungeon continues with three new recipes and challenges for the adventurers. Continuing to feel underappreciated, the annoying Marcille (Emily Rudd) makes a rather rash decision involving a giant bat that causes chaos but is ultimately helpful to the group. The episode is also notable for showcasing the trap prowess of Chilchuck (Casey Mongillo) who butts heads with the Senshi (SungWon Cho) over the dwarf not taking traps seriously, although the pair eventually come to and understanding and appreciation of each other’s skill sets. The pair’s verbal sparring is a nice visual representation of the show itself, in transforming a D&D adventure into something at least as equally centered around cooking and enjoying the sweet, sweet taste of monsters.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers

Reunited after their adventure in St. Louis, and with even more eyes on them than before, Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) continue their quest running into not one but two gods before the episode concludes. During their meeting with Ares (AEW’s Adam Copeland), the kids strike a bargain. For his help in getting them further west they agree to retrieve his shield… although the God of War forgets to mention that the shield is in the middle of a trap set by Hephaestus (Psych‘s Timothy Omundson) which will force them to leave one member of the quest behind.
