Masters of the Universe Chronology

This Masters of the Universe chronology includes all official animated and live-action appearances of He-Man, She-Ra, and related characters. While the 2002-2004 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was actually a reboot of the franchise, I have placed it in the timeline as more of a prequel series and will treat it as such throughout the chronology. This introduces some inconsistencies, but overfall seems to fit rather nicely.

Until I have time to perform a more detailed analysis of the episodes, I have tried to organize everything by airdate, and I have started the chronology with the births of Adam and Adora at Year 0.
