Supervillains and antiheroes like Skeletor make cartoons and other animated TV shows and films more interesting. For 80s kids, Skeletor brings back the nostalgia of childhood. However, since most of the audience were kids at the time, a few appreciated the intensity and comedic nature of some of Skeletor’s quotes.
With He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021 TV series) released on Netflix, it’s a good way to catch up with some of Skeletor’s quotes missed in the 80s. Skeletor was a mean villain and evil boss who always had demoralizing words for his ever-failing henchmen. It was interesting watching him devise plans to capture the ever-elusive Castle GreySkull and defeat He-Man. Here are 10 Skeletor quotes that absolutely ruled the 80s.
10. I Must Possess All, Or I Possess Nothing
Come on, we’ve all had those days where it’s all or nothing, and it’s bound to be disastrous if it happens to be the latter. Skeletor had one day after another like this and had to get by on virtually nothing when it came to the win/loss department. Yet, he kept the faith, hoping he would someday prevail.
9. Yes, We’ll Win This Game The Old-Fashioned Way, The Tried And True Way: We’ll Cheat!
If at first you don’t succeed, lie, cheat, and steal your way to glory, right? That was Skeletor’s idea, at least. Like many villains, Skeletor discovered that the heroes always had the last laugh and always anticipated his move. Desperate for a win, Skeletor believed cheating was the surest way to victory. Maybe that would have been true if he spent as much effort hiring experienced henchmen.
8. You Furry, Flea-Bitten Fool, I’ll Cover My Throne With Your Hide!
When it comes to ditching out demoralizing words, there are only a handful of mouths to rival that of Skeletor. The thought of the statement leaves an image in your mind that’ll force a laugh or a smile out of you. In all honesty, Skeletor’s bony throne sure did need some covering.
7. Everything Comes To He Who Waits… And I Have Waited So Very Long For This Moment
Audiences have, at one time or another, felt sorry for Skeletor and his unending failure at capturing He-Man. Yet, it’s hard to tell which is more admirable – his persistent consistency at failing or a false grandeur of an ever-elusive victory. Depending on the situation, this Skeletor’s quote holds true.
6. I Am Not Nice, I Am Not Kind, And I Am Not Wonderful!
There are a lot of days that a lot of us might feel like this since the world doesn’t seem willing to give us what we need or want. If there’s one thing Skeletor was good at, it was being comfortable playing the villain. It doesn’t take long to know who the series antagonist is, as Skeletor is always himself.
5. Books Are The Real Treasures Of The World!
Although it can be difficult to believe since it’s coming from a proud supervillain, Skeletor actually said this. Disliking Skeletor doesn’t necessarily mean all of his words are filth. Books are, and will continue to be, the real treasures of the world.
4. Never Mind What I Said; just Do What I Said!
Being a supervillain boss means no one can and should question your words. What’s the point of countering a least command with one past one that’s no longer relevant? Dealing with incapable henchmen is a burden on its own, let alone having one that’s only good at remembering your last instructions. It’s always simpler and easier to just obey!
3. How Unpleasant It Is To See You, You Sniveling Coward!
Skeletor surrounded himself with dimwitted henchmen. One can’t help but feel sorry for Skeletor anytime he sends them out on a mission. It must have been frustrating to see these cowards return with failure hung over them like a cloak.
2. I Help No One But Myself!
While there’s nothing wrong in looking out for oneself, Skeletor takes his self-care to new heights. Skeletor is consumed with one goal – to overcome He-Man. The last thing he wants to burden his mind with is being responsible for the well-being of another person.
1. I Am The Alpha And The Omega. Death And Rebirth. And As You Die, So Will I Be Reborn
Ever notice how the bigger the boast, the more losses the villains tend to take? Some of the greatest villains throughout time have made the biggest and most emboldened claims. Yet, they’ve been smacked down more times than people care to count. Skeletor was not any different.Skeletor
