because I can and fact it’s a the fake shit question. Everyone knows why the show has been pulled to bits and panned by the vast majority. It’s because of nonsense people like that trying to act all accepting to rubbish because of the fear a backlash of critiquing something but he acts like what’s the big deal. Do me a favour and don’t expect me to fall for that shit.
yeah whatever. I have to put up with their bullshit posts so they can put up with me. Other that there is 3 option. ignore
My posts, don’t respond to them if you don’t like them or a ban. You/they choose whatever you/they want and makes you feel important.
And that goes for anyone else too. There's a fair bit of controversy around the show, and people are allowed what to think what they want. All I ask is that you be civil while you put forth your opinions.
I didn't get too much of a cringy, woke vibe from this show at all, I seem to remember King Randor being a bit of a fool in the original series and none of the other men are really yeeted to any extent. Seen some reviews which talk about the 'longing stares' between the two female leads, which I didn't really pick up on, think those people are just assuming she's gay from her hairstyle TBH. She may turn out to be gay/bi whatever but people are acting like she's running around aggressively sleazing on every recently divorced/widowed woman she comes across, that's just not true. She does come across as a bit of an entitled d1ck from time to time though.
Overall I'd give this a 7/10. I'll admit it would have gotten more if it included more He-Man but the animation is spot on, the cast is stellar, the story is good and the easter eggs are good too.

Have to say Grayskull was a major disappointment. Expected him to be The Man. Was looking forward to seeing him. Not sure how hes been depicted in comics, but he was a literal Legend in the 2002 series.
His colour wasnt an issue though. In fact Prince Adam should turn black as he becomes He-Man. Would make his disguise even better.
Make him look like T'challa and voice him by Anthothy Hopkins.

I never watched He Man and The Masters Of The Universe and I never watched She-Ra The Princess Of Power until the 2010s.
What actually made me give it a chance (He Man 1983) was Mike Young Productions He-Man and The Masters Of The Universe 2002 Animated Television Series produced by the mom and dad and husband and wife tag-team of Liz Young and Mike Young which I saw when it was on air and I happened to catch an episode.
Liz and Mike and every one who worked with them, they did so well. They actually got one of the series writers for He-Man 1983 who wrote episodes and storylines for He-Man and She-Ra to come back out of retirement and write new episodes for the characters that he created and work with them on connected story-lines.
If you ever do decide to watch it. You really should watch every episode in order and also with headphones / or earphones for an immersive experience.
The series was nominated for an Emmy.
And the producers and the writers and the story editors, the sound engineers, the voice actors, the animators who worked on all of the diverse character designs and movements of all of the different races and living creatures on Eternia really captured the essence of... (the beating heart and soul) of He-Man and The Masters of The Universe.
He Man 2002 omg. I knew I wanted to watch it properly so a few years after it aired and the comp series box sets were out I was excited to get one. And it was so good.
It's got great rewatch value. I was actually thinking of rewatching it again when I saw oh... theres another He Man Masters Of The Union I mean Universe show out.
Promoted as a show that will be kinda like but not like a 'where are they now sort of thing checking in on some of the beloved characters of the old series (I was totally expecting to see Attack Track and Granamere (spelling?) etc get some 2021 screentime.
From that last sentence above you can probably tell I liked the 2002 He Man Reboot so much I got all the box sets of the original 80s show and liked it as well.
My decision to watch the old show was also partly motivated by it's status as a Comfort Cartoon.
Especially when I was working late in the early to mid 2010s getting home at 1am or 2am fixing up some thing to eat catching an episode of The Wire or Battlestar Galactica (The Very Dark and Gritty Reboot) It was essential to always have a positive, wholesome, show, a comfort cartoon. She-Ra when I finished the old He-Man was also a fun chill watch. The orko like scrappy was a pain but eh. Hordak and Co were meme worthy villains.
So I think I've made it pretty clear that nostalgia means absolutely nothing to me. I don't have it.
Going into Kevin Smith's Edgelord B.S. I was like 5 eps eh. Is that enough?
That can't surely be enough to do what they said they were going to be doing catching up with many of the og characters...
The 2002 Reboot with its healthy 39 episode length was able to do a fine job of giving many OG characters their moments of awesome.
A lot of people try to force Woke stuff in their works of fiction.
If you just write damn good stuff you'll have strong female characters, good diversity, etc.
Kevin Smith actually made the sorceress a damsel in distress in the first episode and not very observant. He also wrote himself a plot hole by animating The Sorceress's psychic rapport with He-Man and having The Sorceress not be aware a tin can disguised as He Man was not psyhically linked to her ... did he even watch He Man 1983.
As for Teela's flakeout... so she just decides to be a thief and a criminal now.
Like none of those scenes in the 1983 show this is supposed to be a reboot of where Teela suspected Prince Adam was He-Man and tried to prove it never happened.
This clown never watched the old series.
He did see some episodes when they were on tv and as he says there was nothing else on so he kinda hate-watched them ...
As for Teela's squeeze. Don't remember seeing her in the 80s series. Master Screen Time Blocking Plot Device. Besides being a trope what does she add to the franchise.
Don't even think of saying black representation.
Where Zodak At.
Does Kevin Smith even know Zodak Exists. And had a toy.
Presumably Mattel want to sell some strong black lady action figures... They'd be better sticking with Zodak action figures. He's got a powerful place in the plot as one of the Guardians of the Universe or is he the actual Guardian of the universe (not exactly sure) but in a Universe Ending Critical Event and no one out of The Sorceror or Evil-Lyn even has an internal monologue thinking of idk collaborating their efforts with Zodak... did this guy even watch the 1983 series he's rebooting?
Sure maybe Zodak comes in later or idk plot twist the tech girl is Zodak's daughter (Doubt it) .. I've dropped it so I'll never know.
Also as this is billed as a continuation of the old series seriously.... If Magic is dying some one should have said some thing about Granamere dying or something.
Surely his passing would not go unremarked on Eternia. Maybe it does late bur I doubt it.
Back to Angry-Roid-Chan geez way to dumb down a character Kevin.

Without the nostalgia I guess I can see rating it lower. Personally, I'm loving just about every moment of it. Triclops and Trapjaw as part of a fundamentalist cult alone is genius. Man at Arms is a total badase normal, as he should be, Orko is the underdog you love to root for, Evil Lynn is the Harley Quinn tweener, and Mer-Man... is voiced by Batman.
It may not be high art, but what it is is good fun. Beats Voltron Legendary Defender by a mile, that's for sure.
Dragons Dogma and Castlevania do beat it in every way possible though.

Reboot would be the 2002 cartoon. Will say though I liked some of the designs better there.
