I read about some recent interviews with Kevin Smith. I’m not going to read the actual interviews, it’s uncomfortable enough to read about them.
Apparently, there were mandates in place when Revelation was being developed. Adam had to have focus as Adam, rather than He-Man. He-Man and Skeletor were to be pushed out of focus so other characters could have focus. By the end, Teela had to become the new Sorceress.
I still think the show could have worked, but Teela is so unlikable in this incarnation it taints everything.
Kevin Smith also apparently said he’d like a crossover with the Netflix She-ra. That sounds like a horrible idea, these two shows don’t mesh at all. At best it could turn out like that teamup Teen Titans Go did with Freakazoid. The She-ra characters would be perfectly in character while the Revelation characters would have to lighten up considerably. Or the She-ra characters would be randomly recast with various celebrities and a bunch would get killed off and revived later and in the meantime Glimmer becomes the main character but she’s a bitch.
