Kevin Smith has said that if he somehow managed to make a list of the greatest mainstream society villains ever, he’d give the best positions to Star Wars sith-ruler Darth Vader and Masters of the Universe’s Skeletor. Smith’s latest task, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, is an immediate sequel to the classic 80s fantasy series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, by and by pitting He-Man and companions into fight against Skeletor and his accomplice. The series looks further into the mysteries of Castle Grayskull, as well as Warrior Goddess Teela’s destiny, a person that takes a focal job in the series’ cast of main protagonists.
Never one to shy away from film talk, Smith has settled on his main two most loved villains ever during an interview with Thrillist. At the point when asked where he would put Skeletor on a list of the greatest mainstream society villains ever, Smith said that He-Man’s archnemesis belongs at the extremely top, alongside Star Wars supervillain Darth Vader. Elaborating on his picks, Smith said he was “talking about obvious villain—somebody who has nothing however awful intended,” while also saying that notorious DC villain the Joker would take care of business.
“This could be controversial because of the way that I’m working on Masters of the Universe, yet honestly, I think it goes Darth Vader, Skeletor. Thinking about mainstream society villains, who else ranks as high? What’s more, I’m not just talking about your misunderstood villains like Frankenstein or Dracula. I’m talking about obvious villain—somebody who has nothing however awful intended. So I feel like you got Darth Vader, Skeletor, Joker, and afterward somewhere down the list, you got some Marvel villains, however I put him high up there, man. Indeed, even individuals who don’t know Masters of the Universe know Skeletor because he’s just a badass visual. He has a skull for a face. That is metal as hellfire.”
Smith’s latest series has had something of an unpleasant time on Netflix, going straightforwardly up against a He-Man and the Masters of the Universe reboot, leading many fans to draw comparisons between the two. While basically Smith’s series has been gotten well, fan consensus has not been so positive. Having such close Masters of the Universe rivalry didn’t help Smith’s sequel, however it was also hindered by being split into two parts, the break between the two allowing viewers to foster a sour taste toward Smith’s experienced interpretation of the franchise. Presently, with Masters of the Universe: Revelation section 2 accessible on Netflix, Smith’s vision for an appropriate He-Man sequel can be valued in its full intended structure.
