The exchanges are actually pretty hilarious and range from trolling He-Man to sharing his #ManCrushMonday. Take a look:

Skeletor gets a dark and powerful origin story: Joshua Hale Fialkov tells of how a prince became the Darth Vader of the “Masters of the Universe” franchise.

My botty best at summarizing from Wikipedia: Skeletor is a fictional supervillain and the main antagonist of the Masters of the Universe franchise created by mattel . depicted as a muscular blue humanoid with a purple hood over his yellow there was no royal court of Eternia, King Randor, Queen Marlena, or Prince Adam yet . the villain’s key motivation in this first story is to reopen the rift between his world and many questions about this version of Skeletor’s origin are left unanswered . as this first incarnation of the franchise’s continuity was particularly short-lived, many questions remain . Skeletor’s main goal is to conquer Castle Grayskull, from which He-Man draws his powers . he also wants to take revenge on Hordak and overthrow Horde Prime in his bid to Skeletor is the main antagonist in the 1983 show He-Man and the Masters of the Universe . he was voiced by Alan Oppenheimer in both series . this contradicts both earlier minicomics and cartoon King Randor announces that Keldor disappeared years ago . in this story, Randor and the Sorceress attempt to peer through a space-time rift that opens once every year . to find out what happened the rift once again closes for another year . the original MOTU toyline came to an end before the story could be resolved . it was never fully disclosed if this was officially intended to be the case . if they found out Skeletor was Keldor, they’d be able to find out what had changed him . they might find some way to reverse it . but, I don’t think that was ever in 2002 animated series, Skeletor’s original name was definitely Keldor . producer: “it seems unlikely that he is related to Randor in this continuity” “keldor is the half-brother according to their revised back story, Keldor is Randor’s half-brother . his mother was a member of the Gar race and he was ousted from the royal castle due to his Gar heritage . Keldor also appears in the DC comics but was cursed by his father . as this was a motion picture, Skeletor was allowed to be far more menacing . Langella had asked his kids questions Langella’s version of Skeletor is clad in more regal attire than is traditionally seen . his performance is highly regarded by fans and critics as being a high point in the film . Langella Skeletor fools the Galactic Guardians into thinking he is the force of good they need to save their home planet, Primus . instead they came looking for He-Man . in the episode “Sword and Skeletor has a sarcastic sense of humor and often jokes and laughs . he has genuine relationship with Crita, a female mutant with purple skin . the Skeletor in this series is portrayed as a far more competent and threatening character . the first toys for the “New Adventures” line, which was Marketed simply as “He-Man”, gave new version shows that Skeletor was formerly a warlord named Keldor . he trained in the dark arts by summoning Hordak from the dark dimension, Despondos . in this version evil-lyn takes Keldor to Hordak’s sanctuary, where he saves his life . he transforms him, stripping the damaged tissues from his skull and dubbing him Skeletor Skeletor destroyed the Mystic Wall and returned to menacing Eternia . he is not concerned with Castle Grayskull until a giant fish-monster that had swallowed the remnants Skeletor destroys Hordak’s sanctuary to prevent him from returning to Despondos . if season three of the series had been produced, it would have dealt with the Horde invasion . the powerful Hor Skeletor is shown to possess almost no loyalty towards his followers . he even goes as far as replacing them with his ‘Council of Evil’ . many episodes end with him punishing or torturing his min despite his evil, Skeletor has been known to grovel when his life is in jeopardy . he tells Count Marzo that he will give them a reward if Skeletor is the character that received perhaps the least-extensive redesign from his original toy/cartoon version . when this new design was translated into animated form, MYP’s artists usually gave him a later convention-exclusive figure of Keldor was made using the existing Skeletor body . a removable cloth cape was included . this figure could thus be configured into a “show-accurate” Skeletor warns his troublesome nephew must die if he doesn’t stay within the boundaries . Trap Jaw and his riders ambush Adam in the desert . the sword is a conduit to the powers Skeletor bursts into her cell and demands to know where she was hiding . she hid in plain sight within a pleasant memory….moments he rarely revisits . Skeletor tells Beast Man to prepare Castle Grayskull for siege . he engages in conversation with head that has been advising him throughout series . Skeletor removes Evil-Lyn’s mouth when she continues to speak even after he has ordered her to be silent . he-Man tells Teela that he believes Skeletoor is dead in the film, Keldor will be a human before becoming a skull-headed demon . he will also be Adam’s (and Adora’s) older stepbrother instead of his uncle Skeletor can discharge bolts of mystic force from the head of the Staff . he can also use it as a focus for more powerful forms of magic such as the theft of dreams . his innate powers Skeletor is a master of the occult arts . he is also privy to much secret knowledge about the universe . all versions portray him as cunning and intelligent . panthor is Skeletor’s evil feline companion, a giant purple panther . unlike He-Man’s Battle Cat, Panthor only appears in a handful of stories in the original series in the 2002 series, Skeletor is more prominent in the episodes in which he appears . he also shows some affinity towards Relay, a partly robotic dog who is a part of the Manchines . in the 2011 Neal Stephenson novel Reamde, Skeletor is the nickname of hack fantasy author Devin Skraelin . the skull mask worn by a stunt actor in Star Trek: the next generation was in the 2002 British comedy film Ali G Indahouse, Ali G mentions that the main antagonist of the film, Prime Minister David Carlton, is ‘even more eviler than Skeletor’ the comedian Stewart Lee often Skeletor appears in a television advertisement for Moneysupermarket.com in march 2017 . he dances to the song “(I’ve Had) the Time of My Life” from the motion picture “dirty
