** ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' has Tien be mockingly called Tri-Klops by Vegeta and Cell, because both have three eyes.
** ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' has Hal Jordan try the Grayskull line in an effort to activate his Power Battery device.
** He-Man apparently had quite a fanbase in Asia, as seen in the fantasy spoof film, ''Film/TheMagicCrystal'', where the FatComicRelief sidekick, snooker, managed to absorb powers from the titular Crystal and actually strikes a pose similar to Price Adam's while shouting, "''I have the power!''"
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBabyFamilyBusiness'', Tina and Ted use Castle Greyskull as a stand in for the school when they're PlanningWithProps. Wizzie (Tim's old alarm clock) has his missing right arm replaced with He-Man's, complete with sword, and is shown to become friends with a Skeletor action figure, even taking a selfie with it in the epilogue.
** Marvel Comics features a being in the Guardians of the Galaxy called the Prince of Power, who hails from the planet Muscula, which is based on Eternia. Two of its warriors, Rapskullion and Majestar (Otherone's brother), are expies of Skeletor and He-Ma.

The strap is a belt, he is wearing pants, Adam has braids and completely lacks a lisp. All this leaves is ponytail and that is not much of a leg to stand on.


** ''The New Adventures of He-Man'' almost seemed to embrace this, by changing He-Man's outfit to be tights and a leather strap across his chest, giving him a ponytail, and having Adam speak with a pronounced lisp. Adam also has what can only be ''pigtails''.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* EvilIsSexy: Evil-Lyn and Keldor, before becoming Skeletor. Both were quite the lookers especially Keldor, but even when becoming Skeletor his body ain't too bad either.



* EnsembleDarkhorse: Skeletor was the film's resident scene stealer, but [[TheDragon Evil-Lyn]] has a fair fan following as well. This is mostly because of the EvilIsSexy trope and she's shown to be [[HypercompetentSidekick very competent]] during her investigation on earth. Lubic gets his share of this as well as he was the only Earth-based character to hold his own against Skeletor's forces.
* EvilIsSexy: The slinky Evil-Lynn struts around the screen in a figure flattering metal corset, bewitching all around her with her haunting eyes and placing a slave collar upon the heroine's boyfriend.

* SpiritualAdaptation: The film is described on Website/ThatOtherWiki as being the best ''Creator/JackKirby's [[ComicBook/NewGods Fourth World]]'' movie ever attempted. Though WordOfGod from the director indicates he meant to do an homage to the work of Kirby in a general sense, not the Fourth World in particular. It helps that Skeletor’s infamous "I dare anything" line is nearly a direct quote of Darkseid from an early ''New Gods'' comic.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: Due to a lot of animation involving rotoscoping motions, such as Beast Man charging the camera or He-Man lifting a rock, look very strange as though the motion is both too fast and too slow.

** Frank Langella's take as Skeletor. A HamAndCheese-style villain in a film as campy as this should be silly, but he blends it with seriousness and competence, resulting with a character that many sees as the best part of the film.

* HypocriticalHumor: Despite her disgust at the idea of eating an animal, she seems to have no qualms about shooting anything that draws her attention, as she pulls her sidearm at the slightest provocation.

* HarsherInHindsight: TheStinger is this, with [[spoiler:Skeletor popping out of the water declaring "I'll be back!"]] seeing as the movie bombed, the sequel was canceled, and the franchise suffered heavy financial losses in the coming years.

Foe Yay has been cut


* FoeYay: Impressive even by the standards of the franchise. The first thing Skeletor states in the film is his desire to have He-Man kneeling at his feet. Upon arriving on Earth he spares the other protagonists on the condition He-Man becomes his slave. However none of that holds a candle to his [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything reaction]] to having He-Man whipped.
