Part 8/12:
Smith publicly claims that Revelation was a "faithful" continuation and emphasizes that any fan backlash is mere “knee-jerk reactions” or “toxic fandom.” However, critics and fans argue that much of the negative response stems from genuine disappointment over sidelined characters, narrative choices, and perceived betrayal of canon.
The controversy intensified when Smith allegedly bragged about killing off He-Man, only for the character to be revived later, and when claims about the series’ themes and characterizations diverged sharply from the source material.
