* AmbiguousSituation: Just how much of the story [[spoiler:that Keldor told Adam]] was true and how much was fabrication? Hordak later confirms that the broad strokes are all true, but that leaves thing like [[spoiler:what was Keldor and Randor's relationship as children actually like, and when exactly did Keldor become resentful and started coveting the throne]] completely up in the air.

* LongLostRelative: At [[spoiler: King Randor's funeral]] a Gar named Keldor reveals himself as [[spoiler:the late King's half-brother, and Adam's uncle]].

** [[spoiler:Skeletor originally being Keldor, as presented in the [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 2002 series]], seems averted when Skeletor attacks Eternos while Keldor is also present. Afterward, Motherboard drops being disguised as Skeletor and Skeletor himself drops his Keldor disguise.]]

* ShoutOut: After cutting off Motherboard's head, Skeletor seemingly takes an idea from ''Film/Se7en'' and bestows it to Hordak in a gift box.
** Previously, when Skeletor's former personality as Keldor (voiced by William Shatner) re-emerges as a holographic projection, he says he's [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan "laughing at [Skeletor's] superior intelect."]]

** [[spoiler: In the flashback depicting Adora’s kidnapping by Hordak, a stuffed Pegasus resembling her steed Swift Wind is shown by her cradle.]]

* GoodStepmother: Queen Amelia (Randor's mother and Keldor's stepmother) constantly argued with King Miro to get him to do right by Keldor, pointing out that Keldor was in a lose-lose situation regardless if he stayed in Eternos or Anwat Gar since his illegitimate birth status meant he couldn't inherit the throne while Randor would, pointing out thatbhe would at least get a chance to make something of his life in his own homeland. It's especially worth noting since Keldor wasn't even her's and was born from her husband's affair (not to mention, half-alien).

* EvolvingCredits: The font for 'Revolution' in the opening recolors itself and is accompanied by noticeably different effects for each episode. [[spoiler:After Castle Grayskull is taken over and reshaped by Motherboard's nanotechnology, its new appearance is seen in the openings of episodes four and five]].

* LighterAndSofter: Despite how dire the stakes seem on paper with the introduction of the Horde [[spoiler:and King Randor unexpectedly passing away]], the series overall is a DeconReconSwitch to ''Revelation'''s pure {{Deconstruction}}. Adam and Teela's relationship that was once fraught with tension over him hiding his identity as He-Man is now one of deep mutual trust [[spoiler:that eventually becomes a full RelationshipUpgrade]], the focus on the heroes' side of the story is about fixing the unaddressed damage to the world caused during ''Revelation'''s events [[spoiler:right down to the restoration of Preternia]] rather than trying to prevent an apocalyptic event, [[spoiler:and Skeletor is seemingly beaten for good by the end in a classic showdown.]]
