Evil lyn netflix series#
Her awakening at the end of the series also hearkened to the arrival of Hordak, the She-Ra: Princess of Power big bad that set the Cult of Motherboard in motion. Skeletor confronted his cybernetically enhanced lackeys who joined the cult which worships the mechanical being only to end up infected by the techno-organic virus himself, setting up a whole new spin on the villain's conflict with He-Man. Motherboard was briefly revealed at the end of Revolution's predecessor, Masters of the Universe: Revelation. The actress, who portrayed Skeletor's right-hand woman Evil-Lyn in the 1987 Masters of the Universe film starring Dolph Lundgren, will lend her voice to a new villain in the series - the ancient sorceress of technology Motherboard. A hint at her true nature based on what we’ve seen in the Netflix series, perhaps? The next issue promises to reveal Evil-Lyn’s origins so… colour me curious.Just in time for Meg Foster's birthday, Netflix is gifting her a trip back to Eternia as part of the cast of Masters of the Universe: Revolution. When she ventures off on her own, the colour palette abruptly switches to a vibrant magenta background, which, interestingly, is a colour that symbolizes compassion and kindness. When his reminiscing is over, Lee once again focuses on Evil-Lyn. Skeletor’s tales of woe move quickly and efficiently. Where the previous issue felt jaunty with its back and forth leaps through time, this story is at least more straightforward, with smooth and creative transitions between timelines. She is all sleek, sultry lines that spell desire and secrets. Much like the Netflix cartoon (or perhaps I’m just seeing this because of my growing infatuation with Evil-Lyn), Lee gives Evil-Lyn lots of attention when she is on the page.
The ghastly yellowish green of magic and faces complement the purple shades of the costumes, making characters pop. And where the backstory itself may fall flat with its lack of originality, artist Mindy Lee and the vibrant colours of Rico Renzi amplify every page. The tale itself is fairly unoriginal, but there are a few worthwhile gems, such as the origins of Skeletor’s iconic staff and costume, and his interactions with Hordak, his master and the villain from the She-Ra series. It also gives more depth to otherwise fairly two-dimensional characters.
Like the television series, the comic blends the absurd, sometimes silly imagery of goofy characters and actions with heartfelt storytelling. Though devoted to the man she calls “my love,” does Evil-Lyn believe him? Told in the scratchy, geometric font chosen by Deron Bennett against a blue background, Skeletor waxes on about enslavement, a lost wife and child, heroism, magic, and betrayal. It’s a sob story to rival all sob stories, made all the more absurd by the multitude of skeleton-headed people on his homeworld of Apollyos. This issue is all about Skeletor as he divulges his backstory to Evil-Lyn. But Skeletor also connected with the psychic creature and now is determined to reconnect with it to unearth the secrets it revealed. Travelling through time to save the king, He-Man met King Grayskull and came to understand that the Orlax may not be a malevolent creature, but instead, one that is desperately trying to communicate with folks on Eternia. In the first issue of this series, we learned about the origins of the Sword of Power through a creature called the Orlax, which attacked King Randor. Masters of the Universe: Revelation #2 Deron Bennett (letterer), Rob David (story), Mindy Lee (artist), Rico Renzi (colorist), Tim Sheridan (writer), Kevin Smith (story) Although I found the first issue to be uninspiring, I’m still curious enough about the lore Kevin Smith is building out with his new story to come back for more revelations. I never expected to end up watching Masters of the Universe: Revelation on Netflix, much less loving it so much that I started digging into the prequel comics.
