thread_title: Catra was not the only She-Ra villain in ''Princess of Power'' toyline

message: About this paragraph: In France He-Man is known as "Musclor", however the show's theme song was not altered and so the back-up singers still chant "He-Man" in the opening and during the cartoon. The French opening also lacks the translated yell of the intro sequence "and the Masters of the Universe" which was included in almost all other dubs (the Danish and Swedish dubs were also missing the additional title-chant). Originally no episodes featuring Skeletor appeared in France, which included the majority of the first season of the original cartoon, as the concept of a villain with a skull face was considered too horrific for children.
This assessment needs a source/citation, and badly. I saw the cartoons in France in the 1980s and I have absolutely no memory of Skeletor missing from the first episodes. All the French kids of my generation would have gone mad if we had had a MOTU cartoon without Skeletor. Plus, France was already having uncensored anime on the air in these days. Skeletor was no big deal compared to Grendizer or Space Cobra.

message: Perhaps there should be a discussion on the new comic series?  It seems to have extensive extrapolation on the MOTU universe (I haven't read much of it yet), and would fit well considering we already have the two previous comic book incarnations well described here.  Perhaps someone with a good knowledge of the comic could add to the article? Ownzilla 17:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: "The Italian dub is the only one to have a unique laughter for Skeletor."
That's absolutely not true. The Brazilian dub had an all new version for the laugher, which is in itself a pop culture icon. The actor who dubbed Skeletor (Garcia Jr.) (and ost of the original cast, including He-man (Isaac Bardavich) and Man-at-Arms (Márcio Simões) returned to dub the 2002 version, making it a must watch to every kid raised in the 80s. He-Man had such impact that both Garcia Jr. and Isaac Bardavich are regarded on main stream press as "voice of he-man and skeletor". I will try to find an article or sound clip.

thread_title:  Skeletor's Laugh 

message: A lot of the article, especially in the section of the movie, is heavy on original research in the form of fan speculation, rumors, and fanwanking. I've tagged that section accordingly. If this information is not published in a source such as book, magazine, etc. (and in most cases these theories" come mainly from internet message boards and such), it should be removed. If information on where contradictions between the film and the cartoon etc. occur, the reader should be able to form their own opinions on the relevence of this and how it can be rectified without editorializing.

message: Just my personal two cents, but it would make it easier to connect all the various parts of the MotU universe.  I have no idea how to do it, but it seems like most TV shows and movies have one.  DandyDan2007 23:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SuperHeMan.jpg

message: The article currently says "The legend is unverified but persistent, and most likely false since the first He-Man action figures were produced in 1981, a year before the first Conan film."
The timing of the movie may debunk the part of the myth that says the movie's release caused the (alleged) toy line to be changed, but it does not provide any denial to the myth that He-Man was originally based on Conan, given that the Conan character had been published for a full 50 years before the movie came out (see the Wikipedia Conan article, for a start ;) ). While the rumor may well just be a rumor, I'm not saying it's true, that statement weakens the section because it draws a conclusion based on incomplete evidence. :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.88.246 (talk) 22:29, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why I did it  

message: Apparently FASA released a Masters of the Universe RPG in the mid 1980s. It was more of a boardgame with RPG mechanics (like Heroquest or Talisman) and apparently it was very obscure even during its release. I don't know if I can link to torrents, but there's a torrent of it floating around somewhere. I can't seem to find any bibliographic information, or I'd include it in this article. Does anyone know anything else about it? --Jazz Remington (talk) 22:41, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

message: What are the requirements for external links in order to be listed? I recently added a link to a website which doesn't have any commercial purposes and, in my opinion, is a great source of information regarding the history of MOTU action figures/accessories and related toy lines. The link has been removed because "wikipedia is not for advertising websites". Alright, but shouldn't it be the same for the three other sites listed? Any clarifications about this matter is appreciated. GP 85.81.40.85 (talk) 22:14, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links 

message: The tone of this article is really unusual, with its repeated use of the phrase "definitely not", as in "[they] were definitely not He-Man" or "Taylor’s Conan-like character definitely originally was not He-Man". This is then hilariously countered later by "three of the He-Man Trio He-Man characters will forever truly be named only “He-Man”" -- referring to the same character but with the opposite conclusion about the source of its name. Also, the sheer amount of information dumped here about the origin of He-Man is really amusing but unnecessary. I tried to sit down and help fix this article, but it needs someone with more skill than I. It's a mess.
I also can't shake the feeling that parts of the text are copied from a book. The tone is very familiar and it seems like I've read this He-Man history in a toy history guide book. But I can't quite place it. Heimburg (talk) 21:24, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
