were the inventors of He-Man taking? First off, such a lazy hero name. Then, why create the most powerful man in the universe and give him that strange Dutch boy haircut? And what the eff is Orko? Skeletor makes no sense either. At least his sister and Teela were hot.

I always wondered how Skeletor ate without the food falling right out of his jaw. Or if his brain matter was visible through his empty eye sockets in bright light. Or how he saw in the first place without any eyes. Or...or...or...

I only watched a few minutes of that documentary but basically, Mattel stupidly passed on the multi-million dollar license to make Star Wars toys and then had their creative team scrambling around to make something that would compete. I think these guys were under so much pressure, they just went with whatever idea popped into their mind. Like the Gremlins 2 Key and Peele skit.
In my opinion. Cartoon based shows like Wonderama, Officer Joe Bolton. Mid to late 60s, we plopped ourselves down on Saturday morning and watched cartoons. Speed Racer, Gigantor, Bugs Bunny and friends, Jonny Quest. Cant see some of them anymore because they were deemed politically incorrect (Go Go Gophers portrayal of American Indians). Same with Little Rascals and some other shows.
Those shows would roll into Abbot and Costello, Bowery Boys and a boy preteen favorite - Roller Derby.

But it was ultimately just Thundercats re-imagined as space androids, so perhaps he didn't want to be redundant.
One thing that bothered me about Thundercats even as a kid: apparently there was a planet populated by anthropomorphic cats based on various cat species, but the ones we came to know all had names that reflected their species (Liono, Panthro, Cheetara, etc). Based on that naming convention, the population of the planet must have been, like, 100.

Yeah I thought that was odd too. How do you not include GI Joe?

Ummm, why would you recognize any of them if you were in your 20s at the time?

His first episode he did. But then Snidely Whiplash sued him so he got rid of it.
Remember? Need a refresher? TV lineups and descriptions for every Saturday Morning cartoon here:

Ah the memories.

didn't recognize a single one of those, must have been preoccupied with coke and women.

Maybe he was still amped up after a Friday night into Saturday morning watching Saturday morning cartoons?
Thundarr the Barbarian
Two sound mentions. I also immediately thought of Star Blazers.
In retrospect, Star Blazers and Thundarr the Barbarian had some pretty heavy concepts for kids with the Earth being entirely ravaged and all.
