Heman used to sing in my younger ears, and I sure did like him.
"He-Man... And the Master of the Universe!
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia, Defender of the Secrets of Castle Greyskull. This is Kringer, my fearless friend. Fabulous, secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said: "By the Power of Greyskull!" He-Man, He-Man . . . I have the power! Kringer became the mighty BattleCat and I became He-Man, the most powerful man in the Universe! Only three others share this secret . . . Our friends the Sorceress, Man-at-Arms, and Orko. Together we defend Castle Greyskull from the evil forces of Skeletor. . . . He-Man!"
So let's pull out the words we like.
Master, hmmmmm.
Universe, yes.
Defender, yes.
Eternia, sounds good.
Fearless, yes.
Fabulous, yes.
Friend, for sure, yes.
Secret power, definitely.
Revealed, yes.
Magic, yes.
Mighty, un-huh.
Together, yup.
A nice assortment of big words for a little girl. Of course given the Skeletors in my closet, I needed to believe that mighty He-man would do right by his magical powers. Contexts matter. Closets matter.
