10 Fan Theories That Put Interesting Spins On Your Favourite '80s Cartoons

8. He-Man & She-Ra Were Attracted To Each Other In Masters Of The Universe

This theory certainly isn't mind-blowing, as people often joke about it, but it would be crazy not to include it given how iconic the characters were in the 1980s: the fact is that some people think that He-Man and She-Ra were physically attracted to each other, in spite of the fact that they were twins (actually, because of the fact that they were twins).

When He-Man and She-Ra first met, they had no idea that they were related and they clearly took a liking to one another. They were very quickly prepared to put each other's lives at risk to protect each other and each didn't want the other to come to any harm. Moreover, She-Ra went on to be visibly jealous when Prince Adam and Castaspella were flirting with each other.

Then there is the fact that, even after they learn of their relation to each other, they constantly refer to each other as "brother" and "sister", which really isn't normal. A theory states that this is them reminding themselves that they can't act upon their attraction.

There is a real-life theory that could apply to He-Man and She-Ra's situation. If a brother and sister are brought up not knowing about each other's existence, they may in fact find one another highly sexually attractive when they meet as adults. It's a phenomenon known as "genetic sexual attraction".
