Dawn of Dragoon | He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Episode Review

On this episode of Rodney Stewart Reviews, we take a trip to Trolla with “Dawn of Dragoon,” the 20th episode of the classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

When Orko’s fellow Trollan, Dree Elle, arrives on Eternia begging for help, she reveals that a powerful monster named Dragoon is threatening their home world. Orko, Prince Adam, and Cringer journey to Trolla—only to discover that everything there works backwards, including magic. Most critically, Adam finds he is unable to transform into He-Man.

Rodney breaks down this unique, Skeletor-free adventure: the topsy-turvy rules of Trolla, Orko’s rare chance to take center stage, the introduction of Dree Elle, and whether the episode’s lighter tone and environmental-adjacent moral still hold up.

Tune in for the full review of this memorable (and slightly bizarre) trip to Orko’s home planet.
