Filmation had the unenviable task of following up He-Man's main villain Skeletor with an even greater threat. In response, they came up with Hordak... I honestly think they nailed it. Hordak is so cool!

The teacher and master of Skeletor, Hordak combines magic and technology to become the ultimate threat. Fantastic lore that largely goes unresolved in the original series. I think he has amazing potential. ND Stevenson's Netflix series does an excellent job of exploring this, but I think his 1985 design is visually more compelling.

Both the original 1985 series and the 2018 follow-up are vastly underrated. If you haven't seen them, I highly recommend.

Anima coming soon...
