Gender: Male Location: The Throne Of The House Of El
The debut ranking is clearly due to the "BAIT AND SWITCH" that took place with the first trailer. There is no "REVIEW BOMBING" taking place. If that is the standard was that taking place with She-Ra and the disparity between the Rotten Tomatoes reviews and fan commentary?
Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
I'm sure alot expected the same 'ol "how do we stop Skeletor today" schtick but you can't always do the same crap forever [SPOILER - highlight to read]: even if some moments are absolute ****ing depressing. I like this mature direction they took with it. The side characters having their moment (though I felt Teela being too tryhard imo), the villains actually having a brain, and the meta parts where they reflect on the cheesy dialogue they said in the older cartoon is funny. Overall, I give a thumbs up.
Okayyyy... The capital riots were Antifa in disguise!
Why not? Food for the goose my friend.

Read them. "kEvIn SmItH lIeD! iT's A bAiT aNd SwItCh! It'S tHe TeElA sHoW! i HaVe NeVeR wAtChEd Or CaReD aBoUt He-MaN bEfOrE nOw, BuT yOuTuBe ToLd Me To Be MaD!"
Teela is most definitely the main character as of the first five episodes. She is the Raiden to Solid Snake.

I ended up liking this but can see why others wouldn't. I can definitely see how this show would piss off some older fans, particularly with the ending twist, but I still enjoyed it enough. I liked them leaving room for character growth for the other Masters of the Universe (it's in the series' name). Like yeah, a lot of the focus went to Teela, whom I didn't have a problem with particularly and was always underdeveloped before, but others you could argue got as much development here if not more. Orko was the MVP if you ask me.
Maybe some just wanted this He-Man to be like the 80's and have every episode be a Skeletor scheme of the week and see how He-Man stops him, but it's 5 episodes; you do what you can with that and I liked the different direction. As aforementioned, you can't just always do the same shit forever. You don't have to approve of everything that was done in the show either, but for a fresh direction and continuation, the status quo had to be shaken up somehow.
For how grittier this was than you would normally expect from He-Man, I found there were still some lighthearted moments too. There was even a callback to some of the cringy puns that they used to make in the 80's which the show was self-aware of.
But yeah, I look forward to more whenever part 2 for this series comes.
Teela getting development is probably the most original thing they're doing. He-Man dies, charactere die, Adam seemingly dies again, Skeletor has a scheme that actually works and gains him ultimate power, that is essentially being ripped off from the various comics over the years.
Which is good, the comics were awesome.

I don't really know why everyone's crying over this, seems like the 'New Coke' scam to me. They'll plaster Adam all over the 2nd half of the season I would think. If not, then yeah, Kevin Smith probably is a liar, but I doubt they won't include He-Man, especially after all this.

We'll probably see more of him, but I'm pretty certain Teela as the "main character" is here to stay.
Not "The Hero". Just the character we follow.
That is NOT a bad thing, it's actually brilliant. Teela is the perfect character to tell the epic stories, without being tied down to epic characters.
Note she hasn't really saved the day herself. Orko got to be the hero, Man at Arms got to he the hero, He-Man got to be the hero. Teela is the one who watched them do it, and the one who filters it to us.
It's an interesting move.

shut up fukwit. You’re the last person to tell anyone anything on here you complete loser why you haven’t ended your shitty existence is a mystery. I’m not explaining shit to people who want to act as if they are a progressive hero due to the fear of pointing out the obvious.
Like, Teela being a MC doesn't make something woke. Evil-Lyn makes the allusion of Teela having a thing for Adam or He-Man, so not having a lesbian female lead. Man At Arms, and He-Man are beasts not inept. Adam, despite his looks isn't some wimpy kid. What's so 'woke' about it? Grayskull being black? Or Teela's friend? Two minor characters that literally do nothing to go out of their way to make them amazing because of that? So again not woke in that regard.
