Waitaminute... So, The New Adventures actually was a sequel series rather than a retelling? O_O

Yes. It was a very loose continuation of the Filmation series. They just weren't allowed to say that directly.

Right. New Adventures was basically a new saga to He-Man. With a different take on the story (more sci-fi, so to put it).

Gary Chalk also voiced He-Man, and he would return to the franchise as the voice of Man-At-Arms in the 2002 series

The cartoon couldnt stretch things too far as far as character accuracy went for some reason, but interviews with the head writer implied they would return to Eternia in the unproduced second season where Man-At-Arms had established himself as a dictator and would be an enemy.

While I think that would've made for some pretty dark storytelling and an interesting plot line...I'm not so sure I like the idea of Man-At-Arms going evil, unless he was under some sort of spell or something.

Man-At-Arms becoming a dictator who would raise swords against the Masters seems pretty out of character for the old soldier/lovable dad.

It would depend on it being logical. Rhinox being against Primal in BM made complete sense but fans resented him being a badass so they had to retcon it in a good fifteen seconds in "Fallout"

There's often an example of the "militant" wings staging coups if they feel the current administration is weak, so some big crisis could have emerged that made his rule neccersary and he allowed himself to be consumed by the responsibility and forget who he was

An "evil" Man-At-Arms from an alternate universe was given a nod in the comics based on the 2002 series
