Dragon and the Masters of the Universe

I (as well as many of our readers I'm sure)spent many, many Saturday mornings glued to my TV-screen, watching intently as He-Man defeated Skeletor, the Overlord of Evil time and again to save the Universe. As far as I could tell the entire extent of Skeletor's "awesome powers" was his silly voice, writing and the dialogue sounded awful even to a 10-year old boy, and on top of it all the animation was hokey repetitive. However, there was something about the archetypical heroes and villains that made me (and millions of other kids) watch the series.

As part of my job, I've spent a lot of time on the conceptart.org boards, and the following re-designs of the He-man characters caught my eye.

I know both the images and text might apppear somewhat... extreme to those of the readers who want to keep their purist view of Prince Adam, Skeletor and Evil Lyn, but for those with an open mind they might be be a facinating re-imagining. You can find the artwork here. Just Simply scroll down to the bottom of the page to view them.

Since John Woo is planning to make a new He-Man movie, I think he should pay a visit to these pages, too...
