It is always such a delight to seeKevin Smithsharing what he’s passionate about with his fans. This was very much the case when Smith previewedBear McCreary’s score for Netflix’sMasters of the Universe: Revelationanimated show this week.

On Monday, Smith shared yet another essential piece of theMasters of the Universe: Revelationpuzzle with us: The score. Now, this score gets an automatic seal of approval from Collider because it was created by McCreary, an Emmy and BAFTA-winning composer whose work you’ve probably heard onOutlander,Battlestar Galactica, andThe Walking Dead. The Smith-hosted preview begins with the showrunner excitedly telling us all about McCreary’s past work and sets up the bit of music we hear in the preview clip. The clip begins with a sneak peek of Wood, who voices the role of He-Man, saying one of the most famousMasters of the Universecatchphrases (“By the power of Grayskull!") before the clip launches into McCreary’s truly epic score. Smith’s glee over the music is palpable and makes the entire preview experience all the more enjoyable. Even though we don’t get to see any footage fromMasters of the Universe: Revelation, Smith’s reaction to the music is enough to get us even more hyped for this show.
