There's no real rhyme or reason behind this comic besides... I like drawing Skeletor. I doodled him weeks ago with Lion-O's hair and cracked myself up. Self-serving? Yes. But I'm sure there are others out there that have wondered what nerd-inspired hairstyles would work on the Scourge of Eternia. Sadly, Shatterstar's hair didn't make the cut because I thought that would be too obscure.
My good buddy Jason Kumpfmiller turned me on to this "leaked" image that's supposedly from the live-action Masters of the Universe movie. That movie has been rumored for a long time over the last couple years. What happens is some tiny bit about a writer or director pops up, and then the trail goes cold. I wouldn't be surprised if it never happens.
But if it does and this image indicates the tone of it? Holy mother of King Randor. Battle Cat has never looked so imposing. And with special effects these days? Can you imagine live action He-Man (in that beat-up, lived in world) riding a GIANT FUCKING GREEN TIGER! In the immortal words of Kevin Smith: "Fuck you! Take my money!"
I never believed a Masters of the Universe movie would gain enough traction to be made, so I wouldn't be hurt when it didn't. I still don't believe, but this image of what-could-be has stoked the fires in my penis to a full conflagration. I never knew I wanted it this bad. Lets make it happen, Sony/Columbia, to replace the stink of the Prequels and Michael Bay's Transformers. Make this Masters of the Universe and set the world right so I can die happy.
