Man, I never thought about that for Orko. One of the episodes of the 80's series I had on that aforementioned "Secret of the Sword" VHS tape was the one where Orko and He-Man went to Trolla to fight a dragon dude. And I took it for granted that things were just backwards there, because "GRAYSKULL OF POWER THE BY!" But it makes sense that he's really important, as he's one of the three characters that know Adam's secret (four if you count Marlena). But in that episode, he totally brought his people back to life from the brink of death, including his new girlfriend, Dri-Elle (spelling?). In that episode, they "revealed faces" to each other, and I always wondered what they looked like.

I always liked the filmation concept that he was basically the He-man of Trolla, their most powerful hero but then once he arrived on Eternia his powers didn't work so he had to deal with this fall from grace and being seen as somewhat of a joke. There are a lot of interesting stories that could come from that. Like how would He-man cope if he was stuck on a planet without his powers and considered weak yet still has the heart of a hero and wants to help. Though I do also like your story of him being a secret guide sent to watch over Adam. Not so keen on the Trollans being knock off Green Lantern Guardians.

This actually makes a lot of sense, Orko casually summons a major demon lord to Eternia in season one. That is an insane level of ability and he did it completely off hand.

I've got kind of an off topic question, I'm a little too young to have seen He-Man and the Masters of the Universe ( that and the cult I was raised in wouldn't have approved of it even if we had TV), but it's a question that I'm more than a smidge curious about and I've been wanting to ask but wasn't sure how to go about it. How did you end up working for Mattel and become a brand manger there? One of my dream jobs would be working in that type of field. After escaping the cult at 18 a friend, who was my adopted dad [long gory story], got me into toy collecting a bit (more along the Japanese figure and Gunpla collection spectrum than action figures but the principal is similar). I still collect because of his influence and it's a tangible way to keep his memory alive. I know it's probably a lot of meetings, and long hours but I'm still curious.

When Orko meets the character, he recognizes that he is from his world and says where his people are from. It made me wonder what else lives there.

I never considered him as a secret agent type. I always knew he was super powerful, but always thought other worlds had different wavelengths of magic and affected his connection in some way. He had a medallion in the Filmation series that he lost and wanted it back to properly do magic on Eternia. My thought was he needed a magical item to do his magic at its maximum because he knew it would not function properly out of Trolla. That dose not explain why Dree Elle or Montork was not affected the same way of course, but it may have had something that was exclusive to him being as powerful as he was. But him as a Clark Kent in MOTU, that is interesting.

It does make watching the old show different now!

I remember a couple of episodes where Man at Arms sent Orko to his room as punishment.That always seemed a bit f'ed up given that Orko was an adult

Crazy growth of late!

As Scrappy-Doo sidekicks go, Orko's definitely one of the more likeable. That said... I don't know if I'm so fond of of the idea that he's a secret agent. I don't want to denigrate the work that went into expanding the universe, but it feels like a bit of a 'side-continuity rationalisation'. Like 'Palpatine was actually preparing the galaxy against the Yuuzan-Vong' (or however you spell it) or 'Spider-Man's powers are mystical, he was chosen by a Spider-Totem entity'. (I guess that's more main-continuity, but still) A trend for everything to be connected and made the result of someone's shadowy agenda. I'm happy for Orko to be an accomplished wizard and long overdue for a "witness my TRUE power!" moment, but sticking with the story that it _was_ an accident that brought him to Eternia, and that planet does mess with his abilities. He just decides to stick around to help (like Adora on Etheria) and tries to get his magic to work properly, for that purpose. But the world don't move to the beat of just one drum, I suppose. The whole thing makes me think of one of the original series episodes I remember best, where Beast-Man and Trapjaw captured Orko to be their personal genie, and he obliges - corrupted wishes and all. That could be taken both ways - either he's tormenting them by using more of his true power to prank them, or he's tormenting them by really trying to follow their commands, knowing it'll go all Man-At-Arms on them.

The Secret Agent reveal was in 2010 on his official bio. So it has been around for a decade now.

Nice!!!!

Orko's face was revealed? Hmmm. I didn't know that. To hear the case of Orko being a special agent instead of reading in some bio or watching makes it more believable for me. One of the praises I have for the classics line is getting use out of the Gorpo name. Personally I think the real story is with Uncle Montork.

Oh his story is fascinating. It involves playing cards

Which Comic series shows the trollans creating the Sword of Power? My daughters are getting into comics and actually adore He-Man and She-Ra, and they love lore from stories. I thought that series would be a good set of books for them to enjoy.

I actually just got a new mic. But I work ahead by a few weeks, so you will hear that soon!

Intresting video, I Like it 👍🏻 But I'm not sure that it's an act his magic is not working to see how powerful he is. And that he is secret agent. I don't think so. Because from He-Man episode creatures from the tar swamp. When he arrived on Eternia, he was surprised. And when his Uncle Mountor appeared. His magic didn't work either. I believe he is not acting and why he is popular he really is genuinlly good really tries to make his magic work as it was on Trolla. But unfortunately he keeps meesing up although he means well. Same thing happened on 2002 cartoon. I hope we will see his full potential and strength on the new revelation series. Would be really cool to see him and Skeletor have that big magical fight💖 Also, as I recall She-Ra's love intrest was Seahawk, not Orko. Nice to know that Orko's race are clans and have different colours 💖👍🏻👍🏻 Can you please do video on Evil lyn and her origins and how she learened magic? please 😊 As far as I know she is the daughter of the faceless 1from 2002 cartoon and is too ambitious for power. Also please make a video for Hordak. Would love to see him, and there is a glowing Skeleton that is from Skeletor's army too that was featured in the teaser of the Revelation teaser. Who is he and what is his story?

WHAT?!? Ok going back to binge the filmation series because this just blew my mind, the one time I did notice him actually performing his magic as intended was in a comic where Monstro (?!?) Wakes up from under the sea and during the events that follow He-Man somehow gets captured by the lion faced cable cart tower. (Can't remember all the details) One question though : The episode where his uncle shows up...is that his actual uncle or is that a performance review or something?

I grew up in Brazil ... there he was called Gorpo. I don’t the think the O was ever called to attention cause later when other Trollans appeared they didn’t have letters on their clothing ... I thought it was sort of a symbol
