So I'm almost finished the CGI MOTU series, and honestly I'm mad that the toyline (and the series as whole) didn't take off more because talking in terms of designs this series has some of the best versions of the characters. Some characters are a bit of a downgrade or just a lateral move, but other characters like Webstor, Battle Cat/Cringer, Beast Man are all objectively better than any previous incarnation.
I also think the series does a great job of reinterpreting characters, like Tri-Klops being a parasitic mind controlling robot that uses other people as hosts is a great idea. Expanding Cringer into being from a whole tribe of cats and using that as a way to give He-Man both the Prince Adam AND savage tribe back stories is a stroke of genius. I really hope we get these versions of these characters in the Masterverse line, or future Origins Cartoon Collections.
I think my most potentially controversial take is that this series has the best version of Skeletor from any series, mainly in terms of characterisation, but I think the design is the most interesting too.
