MOTU Pantheon of Gods?

[Emiliano]

Really? I know I put it in the MOTUC forum, but there is no general MOTU forum. The idea was to gather info on all canons as MOTUC does seem to be combining.

Your call though fella.

Well, the thread is fine here, I was just referring about info pertaining specifically to the MVC comic

So where does this thread stand now that we have the Goddess's bio?

[TrapJaw]

In my fanfic setting, I created a mythology using a pastiche of Procrustus and the Goddess from the mini-comics, as well as the God-Beasts from the 200X incarnation.

If anyone would like to read it, it's linked at :http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=177919

In my understanding, it seems The Goddess Teela from the mini-comics Tale of Teela, Ordeal of Man-E-Faces, etc. is different from The Goddess Sharella from the very first mini-comic, He-man and the Power Sword!

One is fair skinned while the other is green skinned. Could it be the title was transferred to The Goddess Teela by The Goddess Sharella?!?

Which shows there are two Godesses that protects Eternia!

This is a very real possibility. At this point I am even more curious as to what the Sorceress's backstory is. How does she fit in between Teela and Sheralla. I also wish we knew why Teela and the Goddess look exactly the same!?

Probably for the same reason that He-Man/Adam and Wun-Dar look identical. i'm entertaining the idea that they are distantly related in some way. Perhaps Sharella's history matches more closely with MYP's Sorceress', in which, during a time of peace, she falls for a brave warrior and conceives a child. Sharella may have taken a lover (giggle) and given birth to The Sorceress. (Perhaps she changed her skin to a normal shade at this time as well.)

Goddess doesn't always mean "God" or deity. It can also mean beautiful, etc. IMO, I believe that's what they meant for the "warrior" Teela in her first incarnation. I think she was MOTU's Red Sonja in a round about way (love interest, blah, blah)

Teela is more than that now though. She is the Sorceress' magically cloned daughter and heir to the guardianship of Grayskull. Not sure where that puts her but I don't see her or the Sorceress as Gods. I think the Goddess part still refers to her looks. She's a "Warrior Goddess"... she's supposed to be HOT!

The Goddess on the other hand is a supernatural entity and could be interpreted as a deity.

More about the Eternia Pantheon:
The Ancients (never been clear how much human they were)
The Overlords of the Eternal Dimension (from the episode "The Golden Disk of Knowledge)
And, from Etheria: The First Ones

In page 6 of the ultimate battleground mini comic they depecit the ancients as 3 humans

I`m not a fan of the "god-thing" in MOTU/MOTUC...

In my cannon there is Castle Grayskull, the timless fortress of mystery and power & the Sword of Power, indestructible and the most powerful weapon in the universe.

Period.

I'm with u berserker79 on this one. I like the idea of them all being the most powerful beings in the universe fighting for the position of master of the universe. no gods needed. they themselves are gods.
