Randor: I guess that's why you called it the "Evil" Horde. Ah ha ha ha!
Hordak: Ha ha ha! It wasn't actually my idea.
Randor: Ha-ha-HA! Well, that's why it's clever!
Hordak: Ha-HA! Fuck you.

Prince Adam No More
Tumblr media
Beast Man, banished from Snake Mountain, hopes to regain Skeletor’s favor. Adam, tired of feigning incompetence, wants to impress King Randor as himself, rather than He-Man. Their interests converge when Beast Man attacks a royal excursion. In the end, Beast Man learns that an abusive home is better than no home, and Adam learns he can never show his father his true self. This one was depressing!
Episode Highlights:
Tumblr media
Orko promises not to cause any trouble, then immediately trips and sends an automated tank on an out-of-control rampage. What a mood.
Tumblr media
Beast Man tastes the fruits of his labors.
Tumblr media
The infamous map, featuring notable locations such as Evil Area, This Forest, and Bad Mountains. Can’t say it isn’t descriptive.
Tumblr media
AND I SAY HEYEAHEYHEYAEYEAHEYAEA
Tumblr media
Randor puts up his dukes.
Moral: Tell your children and your parents that you love them.

noo baby dont be sad bc of your ugly brother come here i got you
no but honestly i was not expecting this quickly scene and i wished we got more of this skeletor being truly sad (and a little ashamed perhaps?) about his family and him emotional in general. most interesting is noticing that since no one could see him at the moment he didn't need to shield himself and could sincerely express himself

Here's King Randor and Queen Marlena.
I've stated before that I prefer the Keldor backstory for Skeletor, and well, that includes his half-brother Randor here. I like the idea of them being close when they were young, but crud happened that drove a wedge between them. Randor does try to be a better king for his people than what they had throughout Eternia's history (since in this AU... the Grayskull line kinda went downhill after that one king getting drunk on Havoc).
And I like Marlena's story of being an Earth astronaut that crash-landed on Eternia, one thing led to another, and now she's queen. It took a bit of adjusting for her to really appreciate Eternia, because sometimes the homesickness can hit you hard, but she does love her family and new home.

2021 CGI King Grayskull inspiration
Tumblr media
CGI King Grayskull is a interesting character, perhaps the most interesting version (due to being both a hero and villain, and it making sense), and he has a number of inspirations both in MOTU sources and those outside it.
Out of versions of King Grayskull, the DC comics one seems to have the most influence (which has sense Rob David large part in making both), were several characters stated King Grayskull was not as noble as it seemed. The issue being though, the two people stating it were not really reliable sources - Hordak and King Hiss (impersonating/wearing the skin of Adi, him doing it to persuade Saryn and other Gar to kill Grayskull).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Still, this caused He-Ro to have given a way disproportionate punishment, seemingly committing genocide against the Gar, and declaring them legal pariahs and exiles, even striping them from the ability to name themselves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes, the Gar were also lead to commit horrible acts when lead/corrupted by King Hiss (impersonating Adi), but that's not a rational reaction, or proportional punishment.
About He-Ro, CGI King Grayskull, in many ways resembles an older He-Ro - he is a dark haired man in golden armor, wielding both the Sword of Power and a magic staff (as Grayskull stated he used the Havoc Staff even before infusing it with Havoc, making me think it's meant to be a corrupted version of He-Ro's staff, even resembling it in it's uncorrupted/dormant and semi-dormant form), as well as being both a warrior and sorcerer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Making me think he is a composite character of He-Ro and King Grayskull, very probably taking inspiration from the 200X comics which were to do the same (ie revealing King Grayskull is an older He-Ro).
Tumblr media
And with 200x MOTU, King Grayskull's helmet is also based on the one Randor wore as a captain in the 2002 cartoon, and as a prince during war in MOTUC comics:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Outside of MOTU, King Grayskull also is quite similar to Odin in Norse/Germanic mythology, and Marvel comics (and their adaptations):
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Odin also has darker aspects, both in Marvel - seen as for example in Thor: Ragnarok, that Odin was a genocidal war criminal far in past. Or in myths that Odin was willingly sacrifice much and many, to give gods and humans a chance to survive Ragnarok, and in general despite having empathetic traits in myths, was heavily pragmatic. Odin's darker aspects are even visible in some of his names - Ginnarr (Deciever), Yggr (Terrible One), Draugadróttinn (Lord of the Undead), as well as his role as a god of death and dead (which is often overlooked).
Curiously King Grayskull also resembles gbagok's partly Odin-based semi-fan character, the All-Father (leader of the Ancients and brother to Nordor/Horde Prime):
Tumblr media
Semi, as he is based on the (seeming) leader Magic Kings from ancient Eternia, whose spirits now inhabit the Anti-World, and who were implied to be the Ancients. These characters are from the German He-Man/MOTU comics.
Tumblr media
It also does seem his helmet did inspire Randor's in the 2002 cartoon.
[EDIT: As clarified by @toonjukka, while designs of Randor's and the leading Magic King, are unrelated - as German comics only became available online in 2004, years after the production of the 2002 series pilot "The Beginning"]
Another Golden Armored Demigod could inspire CGI King Grayskull - the Emperor of Mankind of Warhammer 40k:
Tumblr media
Like the Emperor of Mankind, King Grayskull is a well-intentioned extremist, who hypocritical used the power of what he fought against (ie King Grayskull proto-Havoc of the Snake Men; the Emperor either made a deal with the Chaos Gods for more knowledge and/or power, in order to arm himself against them, and broke it, or stole their knowlege and power). The Emperor though was not overtaken by Chaos.
Both also ended up as skeletons guarded by their most loyal servants (and some thinking/hoping he would come back), and both are remembered as saintly, when in fact they weren't, and their message was misunderstood.

(Well, King Grayskull became a "bone-head" even before death...)

Glimmer: Catra, just be yourself. Randor and Marlena will love you.
Catra: Be myself?!? I have one day to win Randor and Marlena over! How long did it take all of you to like me?
Perfuma: A couple weeks.
Mermista: Six months.
Frosta: Jury’s still out.
Catra: See? Be myself. What kind of garbage advice is that?

Randor is extremely overprotective of Catra, Adora, and Finn. This is due to him believing he failed his brother Keldor, who was half-gar and faced discrimination for it, by not standing up for him. He overcompensates by going off on anyone who questions Catra and Adora's relationship or Finn's legitimacy in the royal family.
