Description Fact: Mattel originally wanted to license the Star Wars figures, as well as Conhan the Barbarian; but rival toy company, Kenner, beat them to the punch. Thus Mattel combined the two ideas and "He-Man & She-Ra" were born.

If the parallels weren't obvious enough, Skeletor, He-Man's main villain, is similar to Darth Vader (only instead of being He-Man's father, Skeletor is his uncle, at least in the 2002 reboot); while She-Ra's main villain, Hordak, is Emperor Palpatine (their faces are somewhat similar & it's more present in the 2002 He-Man cartoon).

Watching some of the older cartoon episodes, I have notice something more deep about Hordak and his clan, The Horde, that even the people behind the reboot didn't noticed.

Sure, the 80's Hordak had an annoying snort like he's trying to fight off a cold 24/7 & was a typical "I hate everything to do with nice" cliche villain; but there's also these crimes that he & The Horde had done:
*They are part of clan with an obvious symbol they wore 24/7
*They brainwash people into joining them
*They host book-burnings
*Destroy everything positive so that people would only grow on fear, despair, torture, and anger
*Have camps and domains that enslave certain types of people
*Since Adora was originally a general of The Horde, she used to represent what a certain hateful clot depicts a perfect human being (blonde hair & blue eyes)
*The leader's name and pride starts with an "H"; like Marvel's Hydra or even.....

How could they ignore that!?!?! Β 

*That's why he's drawn all stiff and proud of what he has accomplished*


Hordak belongs to Mattel, Filmation, and Dreamworks

Hordak: For you.... the day Hordak graced Eternia was the single most important day of your LIFE. But for me? ...It was TUESDAY.

Eh, the Horde does brainwashing in the new series, just a more realistic version - ie indoctrinates their soldiers since childhood hat the Rebellion and Princesses is evil (shown since first episode) - and even if they realize the truth, they have so much subconscious hatred, fear and distrust, it's unlikely they will join the Rebellion.

This is visible with Catra, who seems to believe on some level Princesses are vain and egocentric, despite realizing Horde is evil for years now (then again, Catra is a walking bundle of psychological issues).

This is further visible with Scorpia - it was shown in the Season 2 Light Spinner episode, the Horde conquered her people and and took the Black Garnet by force, but Scorpia knows only and believes the Horde version were the other people of Etheria scorned them, and they allied willingly with the Horde, offering their Black Garnet.

The same episode also implies a lot of Horde soldiers are from captured children, often orphaned ones (ie Hordak ordered Shadow Weaver to take Adora to other captured children in the infirmary).

This makes the Horde even scarier - if they win, in a generation, maybe few, the conquered people will (at least largely) believe they were "liberated".

All of this certainly involves destruction of records showing the truth about the Horde.

The big dad himself

strange thing is in the 2002 show he wasn't written up to be cybernetic

good redesign though

But thing is with your analogy there is if the wrong person reads a whole new slew of nut might rag on the original show even more the fans of the current show

They won't read it wrong.

Those who are fans of the new show are already hating on the original.

When someone wants an evil empire in their stories, they always look to Nazis for inspiration. Let's ignore that the Romans' and the Ottomans' reign were around five times longer.

Nazis were more recent, though.

Not only that but their crimes are much worse compared to the crimes the Romans and the Ottoman Empire did too.

Again, excellent job on the artwork and info. And, yeah, good eye as far as the comparisons between the Horde and the Nazis.
