#buzz-off

Footprints so large they could be none other than Grizzlor himself!

Buzz-Off’s Pride. Three great episodes in a row, each one featuring one or more of my favorite masters prominently, the only draw back being no Skeletor for a long while as they let other villains shine, but hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder eh?

Sure Buzz-Off is kinda a jerk sometimes but he can be a sweetheart once you get to know him. This ep is all about him learning to not be so prideful and get ahold of his temper.

The last scene, where in he gives his beloved Queen her jubilee gift gets me every time.

Queen: You should not have gone to such trouble.

Buzz-Off: My Queen, it was no trouble at all.

I really love the fact that no one proof reads the Grayskull Wiki. Not being sarcastic or anything. It honestly makes for some of the funniest reads. I hope they never fix it. 

King Randor was a fine king, he cared for his people and led his people fairly. But being the ruler of Eternia came with a price.He remembered that price everyday as he watched his daughter goof off in the gardens with Cringer and some of the Master’s. Being King meant he spent very little time with his own child and wife. He put his people and their well being first as a King should do, but as the years went by it put an obvious strain on his and Adaline’s relationship. It had cost him his own brother when he was given the throne. He didn’t see it at the time, but he should have.

He watched his daughter in the distance climb up the tree, and prop her face on the palm of her hand and smiled mischievously at Buzz-off as he flew up to her. Time’s like this he was a little frightened for his daughter when she got that look on her face. She looked like Keldor when she smirked like that. She took after his brother in some ways and he worried for her.

Randor still remembers the day Adam and her sister were born. It had been such a happy day for him and Marlena. Even his brother was excited to see his new baby nieces. He remembers what Keldor said about the twins that day. As he Randor handed him Adora. After Marlena handed her to him he smiled and looked at him.

“She’s definitely got your fighting spirit, little brother. She’s going to be a great fighter some day.”

As soon as Adaline was in his brother’s arms he stilled for a moment as he stared at her and he smiled warmly.

“Well aren’t you the mischievous one.” He chuckled.

“You definitely have more of a free spirit.”

Adaline giggled happily and tugged his brother's black hair playfully. Keldor had let out a surprise yelp of pain. Randor quickly took his second daughter back and returned her to her sister who was sleeping on her mother’s arms.

“She’s going to be tough as nails one day, both of them will.”

Keldor had turned to him and smiled.

“But Adaline’s going to be the diplomat  one of the two.”

Randor thinks back to what his brother had said about Adora and Adaline. He wonders what Adora would have been like with her sister. Would they both be tricksters and free spirits  or would they be opposites like Adaline and Teela.

He feels he will never know now.
