Masters of Puzzle: Autumn Fuji

2026's Masters of the Universe makes the smart choice to play up the dumb parts of He-Man and not take anything seriously. It’s part Flash Gordon, part Deadpool, and almost officially a parody of itself. These are all good things, by the way.

The new Masters of the Universe film runs 2 hours, 13 minutes, which is just long and bladder-filling enough to make one wonder whether they should stick around to see if there are any post-credits scenes. We’re here to tell you that you, yes, should stay all the way until the very end of the film credits.

Many of the exciting features we love about games like Hades 2, from weapons to style, owe their existence to a simple game about islands in the sky.

Better than any other aspect of the new Masters of the Universe movie, Skeletor’s portrayal finds the right balance between goofy and serious, with the villain winding up as the funniest character while never taking away from his threat level.

Prime Video has announced a streaming release date for Masters of the Universe after less than two months in theaters.
