howdy everyone and welcome to the serial geek tv YouTube channel my name is James zetok and today I present to you 50 things about evil in so without any further Ado let us begin
although impossible to see in the cartoon her irises are actually cat-like see she was once bested by an Earthling in physical combat she makes this face when she hears he-man's voice her Run Cycle looks like this [Music] Stratos the winged Warrior seemed to have a personal grudge against oh me down as you wished her name may be one of the best puns of the series evil Lin Evelyn Evelyn get it around a campfire she confides in Taylor the real reason she sides with Skeletor I have no loyalty to Skeletor it is power I want someday I'll seize it from him and then all Eternia will feel my might a cartoon character model was initially designed to mirror her action figure and sport the skull motif on her headpiece at the 11th hour this was removed however the skull actually appears in some of the earliest animated sequences on the series though you won't be able to see it as the motif was painted black in order to hide it but check out this animation cell see there it is she was voiced by the late great Linda Gary who also voiced Taylor the Sorceress Queen Marlena driel chicoti glimmer Madame Raz Shadow Weaver Scorpio sweet B entrapter to name a few [Music] he should never ever trust trap jaw it was her idea Skeletor if she'd been colored like her action figure she would have looked like this yowza [Music]
in the season 2 episode no job too small evil intakes great Delight in complimenting he-man's physicality so he-man those great gorgeous muscles of yours are totally useless oh my she sports a surprisingly short hairstyle underneath her headpiece although the script described her as having short black hair nah she possessed a far better and somewhat cooler hairstyle when she was disguised as a magistra evilyn once teamed up with both Skeletor and the Sorceress and they put on a pretty good show she once sat upon Queen Marlena's throne two times she teamed up with triclops with him playing henchman to her very shouty commands use your dist division fool sadly Evelyn did not make one single appearance in the Shira series even tricots made a single appearance she has a tendency to raise her voice and get quite angry and I think I think again although she makes the same voice when she is happy even when she whispers she sounds rather angry Wick [Music]
Colin Bailey was the primary designer for eviling's action figure at Mattel in his original illustration he actually muses calling the character sultra transforming herself into a fireball in order to make a quick exit is something she has performed on more than one occasion she pulls this expression when she attempts to convince sibylene that she wants to be friends she can fire beams from her eyes with the one occasion turns merman into stone or moon rock on one occasion Evelyn was illustrated without her gauntlets wrong when it comes to lying to Skeletor she's pretty awful what's this oh and nothing I can see it right in front of me Evelyn so it's not nothing in the episode ordeal in the dark Clans evil Lin bizarrely disappears from the plot having tricked call a sorcerer into believing He-Man and Man-At-Arms kidnapped his daughter however the script of the episode is different with an additional plot having evil Lin venture to the Royal Palace in order to steal Man-At-Arms's latest device the shrinker when it comes to insults evilin is not the most creative she clearly enjoys the company of pencil she really loses her patience with webstore in the episode journey to Stone City I'll tell Skeletor has been trying to break into Castle Grayskull for years now it's my it's my turn if we gain the power I intend to share it with no one at times her magical wand appears to change size even in the same scene [Music]
she once transformed kothos into a sand slug when kothos took his revenge she compared his treatment of her to that of a flugel mouse and [Music] flugel mouse humiliation taught evil Lin a lesson about revenge revenge is never sweet which is the name of the episode subtle I don't think so she is one of the very few villains to have wielded He-Man's sword of power she engaged in a very odd team-building exercise with clawful which led to this time [Music] her magic keeps her from feeling thirsty or hungry true fact she inflicted a lot of damage with the shaping staff in her possession sending King Randor to the dungeon and later transformed him into a goat transforming Orko into a cricket and Teal into a frog turning He-Man into a gold statue transforming the Sorceress into a tree and sadly herself into a snake creature with little wind on occasion she has teamed up with some of the other villains on Eternia including Gorgon who wields a truly awesome back scratcher and the dreaded dark dream He-Man knows exactly which of the evil Lin's buttons to push oh you make it too easy Skeletor would have done better not quite that easy she actually saved the Sorceress from Shagora's hideous spell transforming the guardian of Castle Grayskull from a hideous harpy back into a human form although she does it rather begrudgingly as formation began work on the He-Man series they had yet to be presented with evil Lin as a character and so Desira was created primarily by writer Robbie London no final design was given to Desira but numerous artists at the time came up with their own in-house concepts Skeletor fails to understand her brand of humor [Laughter]
over the course of the series Evelyn transformed herself into an old lady in the curse of the spellstone a young woman named Nadira in evil Lin's plot another old lady in the royal cousin and a peasant girl in the shadow of Skeletor there are also a couple of others but these are the most notable and script-serving [Music] on one occasion she attacks Skeletor it didn't go particularly well she and web store carved a pretty impressive bust of Skeletor what she used her seductiveness to convince Squinch that she admired He-Man so that he gave He-Man a box which paralyzed the most powerful man in the universe good work Squinch a little she can magically produce ropes from her fingers well at least when the script dictates it every once in a while she'll actually try to put out a fire yeah it's time for him to be our messenger boy watch it Whiplash now now boys don't fight there's a chance she'd make for a terrific Eternian zoologist I've studied [Music] Escape Jitsu this look and finally there's no doubt that personality-wise evil Lin was one of the strongest female villains of the 1980s and that's it for this video thank you for watching please be sure to like comment share and subscribe [Music] thank you
