>When they were making MOTU classics they tried to create a ideal definitive canon encompassing all of He-man. Including the setting contradictory Early mini comics.
OK...
>In order to do so they came up with this backstory where things tended to happen in cycles and the Jungle He-man from the minicomics was a previous He-Man from generations before Prince Adam
That's cool.
>(and the other characters from the minicomics just coincidentally resemble people from Adam's time)
Wait, what? That's retarded.
For the uninitiated: in the first year, the following characters were in the comics packed with the figures:
He-Man (a jungle tribesman), Man-at-Arms (no mustache), Teela, Stratos (changing from Caucasian to gray), Skeletor, Beast Man (red, then orange), Merman and the Sorceress (green skin, cobra regalia, not made as a figure). This green Sorceress only appeared in comic #1. In comic #2, Teela is made the Guardian of Castle Grayskull (and starts out really bad at her job: in #2 she mistakes Skeletor for the true king, in #3 she's outdoors with her horse and Skeletor effortlessly ties her up).
Here's where it gets complicated: in the Year 2 mini-comics, He-Man, Man-at-Arms and Teela have moved into the palace of a white-haired king and queen (unnamed). The Sorceress is back, with the same skin tone as Teela instead of green and living in the woods (not Castle Grayskull). The cast meets Ram Man, Man-E-Faces, Tri-Klops and Trap-Jaw for the first time. After two appearances, the Sorceress' name changes to the Goddess and it's revealed that Teela is a clone of her adopted by Man-at-Arms (and that Skeletor has been trying to break into Castle Grayskull for at least 20 years).
We're to believe that NONE of these characters were the same as the people who share their names in Prince Adam's era?
Also from this bio: how do you clone swords when they don't have DNA?
