Masters of the Universe: Revelation: Kevin Smith's Trailer Easter Eggs
So it seems our coverage of showrunner & executive producer Kevin Smith, Mattel Television, and Netflix's pseudo-sequel series Masters of the Universe: Revelation has come full circle this week. First, we heard from Smith as he explained how he sold the series to Netflix's Ted Bieseli (also a huge MOTU fan), which was originally titled "Masters of the Universe: The End of the Universe" (with the name changed after it was deemed "a little too dire"). From there, we had the release of the official trailer- one that appears to have lived up to all of the pre-release hype and then some. Now, we're returning to Smith as he guides viewers through all of the easter eggs, teasers, and secrets strewed throughout the trailer.
So to see how many you got right (and how many you missed), check out the clip below:
Now here's a look back at the official trailer for Netflix and Mattel's Masters of the Universe: Revelation that was released this week, with the five-episode "Part 1" premiering on July 23:
The war for Eternia culminates in MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION, an innovative and action-packed animated series that picks up where the iconic characters left off decades ago. After a cataclysmic battle between He-Man and Skeletor, Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. And after decades of secrets tore them apart, it's up to Teela to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe.
Along with the animated series' July 23rd debut, fans can also look forward to the aftershow special, Revelations: The Masters of the Universe Revelation Aftershow. Hosted by showrunner & EP Kevin Smith; EP & Vice President, Content Creative, Mattel Television Rob David; and actress Tiffany Smith, the 25-minute talk show and celebration of all things "MOTU: Revelation" boasts a guest list that includes Mark Hamill, Chris Wood, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lena Headey, Tiffany Smith, Henry Rollins, Griffin Newman, Jason Mewes, and Alan Oppenheimer.
