      • It is revealed by Buzz-Off that his people and Webstor's share a similar genetic make-up, making it possible for Webstor to use the ambrosia without its toxic effects.

      • The spiders could hold back the Masters pretty well but the Snakemen completly defeated the spiders easily, even with the spiders knowing that they were coming. Should translate to a thrashing for the Masters in the future.

      • Not that Webstor's spawn are particularly cute or well-mannered, but aren't they just babies? Since when do He-Man or the Masters kill babies, even dangerous ones? Orko's dragons, for instance, were potentially just as deadly as these spiders, but nobody even suggested slaughtering them.

      • Response to both concerns: The dragons were intelligent - the spiders were a mindless swarm that Webstor was mentally controlling (at least I assume - he could not spawn them without ambrosia, so I don't think they were truly younger members of his species), so the Masters could destroy them with less restraint. The Masters were only six warriors - I think that the entire army of Snakemen, King Hsss included, attacked Webstor's brood - thus, they were swamped.

      • About Mattel and 'Fisto': Just because a company used a name first doesn't mean it can again. Copyrights only last so long and if companies - especially toy manufactuers - allow their copyright to expire, others can pick up on that copyright. This can lead trouble when a the company that originally had that name reissues a toy line that originally featured the name - such as Transformers or MoTU.

      • Skeletor and the rest of the Evil Warriors don't appear in this episode.

      • In the "Rise of the Snake Men" toyline, Fisto was called Battle Fist. Speaking of the toyline, we get to see Man-At-Arms and Mekanek in their Snake Armor.

      • Introduces Fisto.

      • The reason the action figure was called "Battle Fist" is because Hasbro (rather than Mattel) owns the copyright for the name "Fisto" for toy purposes; they put out an action figure for their Star Wars line named "Kit Fisto." The name can be used in the cartoon, however.

      • The toy is called Battle Fist because Mattel lost the trademark for the name Fisto. It is also why Rattlor is called the General.
