Mister E Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Re: he man I think of He-Man as falling in the "Sword and Planet" HERO sub-genre. It's a sword-and-sorcery pulp science fiction set on an alien planet (Eternia); with rubber-science and 'magic' in the form of Clarke-tech... technology sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from magic. Distinct from say Barsoom, but much the same... most knobs cranked to 11, possibly. "Conan the Kryptonian: and the Masters of the Moons of Mongo."

Rapier Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Re: he man High-Tech Fantasy. Star Wars is actually not a bad example. Vibro knives, laser pikes, laser swords, laser bows...it's all part of the schtick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
