Filmation changed that. They created Prince Adam. So now if Skeletor ever gets the Sword Of Power & uses it, there is no He-Man. Now that Skeletor has used the sword & became Skelegod who the hell can stop him? So basically in the Filmation version, Skeletor can never ever gain the power of Grayskull, which completely goes against what the entire franchise has always been about.

I love this new show because after waiting almost 40 years they finally gave Skeletor his victory. He finally got the sword & the power of Grayskull. This is the show I've always wanted. I haven't been into MOTU since they ruined the 2002 series with those stupid mini statues

They were still figuring shit out in those mini-comics (he-man's harness has an on/off button lol) so I wouldn't hold them as absolute canon.
Also those stactions Neca put out were really cool but regardless not sure how that ruined the 200x series. In fact, they came out after things winded down with the series and toyline, iirc.
