LittlePrayer-He-Man Masters Of The Universe- Master Of Greyskull Shuki Levy Inspired Track by @XxTheCreativeKitsunexX (XxTheCreativeKitsunexX)

To say I am a HUGE fan of the original 1980s cartoon He-Man and The Masters Of The Universe is an understatement. I have loved this show all the way back when it first appeared on beta-Max I am damn OLD and Television back in September 1983 until its final season in 1985, I had the toys but didn't have Castle Grey-skull or Snake Mountain in my collection but my Cousin and another kid I knew did. I always loved the opening theme to the show and would get really excited when it would start playing.

Shuki Levy *is a a Legend when it comes to music composition for Saturday Morning cartoons having scored and composed over 100 Themes for both movies and television and is responsible for such memorable and catchy themes from Inspector Gadget, He-Man, She-Ra, Jayce and the Wheel'd Warriors (A HUGE fave of mine for the main opening theme) and SO many others including Digi-mon,Samurai Pizza Cats and more. I could go on as the list is filled with pretty much EVERY cartoon I ever watched as a kid and even as a teenager. Like me Shuki is a *SELF TAUGHT music composer who made his way into the world making his own music and eventually being hand picked by his long time friend and business partner Haim Saban to form Saban Entertainment. Shuki's music is very energetic and filled with his passion for his work and it shows. To say Mr. Levy's work was not a MAJOR contributor to me becoming a music composer is a massive understatement.

So now that I am done gushing about the cartoon and the music composer who made the music for it...What about this track? Well I envisioned if He-Man were done by the original animation team for a modern audience while still keeping the 80s style alive and well, what would the music sound like that would appeal to both the old school affiliated fans AND a brand new audience. It took me some time to figure this out and my journey to creating this track was a good two days of brainstorming and 2 days of finding the right sound and theme that would work in a modern day He-Man cartoon (not counting the Netflix or CGI series)
This track is entirely a production from the 1980s era mixed with some modern sounds for its creation, if your a fan of 1980s music and a hybrid of modern sounds thrown in this is for YOU!

This was the end result.

I remember it wasn't that long ago that "Modern Reboot" was synonymous with "Darker & Edgier". I feel like the last decade has honed showrunning such that grit and optimism are no longer mutually exclusive—compare the Man of Steel era with Superman & Lois. I'm not actually that familiar with He-Man beyond its flagship role in Eighties toy marketing and place in meme culture, but that pairing of straight-faced heroes against an absolute ham like Skeletor offers an inherent silliness to any adaptation that doesn't depend on the sort of snark now iconic of the MCU. After the shadow of the Snyderverse, it's sometimes easy to forget that superhero stories should be fun. :P

P.S.: "CURSE YOU, HU-MAN!!!"

@Thorvald: For the Edgier 90s you can blame Batman the animated series, WB took the cartoon to an even more mature level and then everything after that tried to steal some thunder from them. Don't get me started on the Snyder verse lol.

You've really caught the aesthetic of the old He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I love this piece.

@BadKarma: JAWSOME! I mean....AWESOME! yeah I was really wanting to pay proper respect the source material and to the original composer so went all out. A lot of the track's feel comes from my memories of the show and how I saw it as a youngling.
