Kevin Smith angry over Masters of the Universe reviews

Now all Smith does is milk said characters shamelessly because he can’t think of anything else to write other than Sausage Nazi monsters and walruses.

I don’t even have high hopes for Clerks 3.

I'm half convinced Clerks was nothing more than the .001 percent gloating at the bottom 99.999 percent.

The very same rulers who's days are numbered now.

He easily could've brought Teela up so to speak without the need for eliminating Adam/He-Man entirely from his own show. Why call it "He-Man & The Masters of the Universe" if He-Man isn't in it for 99% of the show? To trick people into watching what he made because if he called it what it was, it wouldn't have just gotten bombed, no one aside from critics ,reviewers and non-fans would've watched it. He literally said "It's not the Teela Show"...then proceeded to make the Teela Show.

He-Mans not in the title of this one.

Would have to see all 10 episodes to see whose show it really is. Clearly Teela leads it when Adam isnt around. But it honestly seems to be more of a MOTU show. With Adam/He-Man being used sparingly, but when he is used he will be The Hero. (Probably how they should of used Luke Skywalker in the ST).

For a more He-Man centric cartoon id suggest the 2002 reboot, which I thought was great, but got cancelled mid way through the 2nd season. But still quite a lot of episodes with a solid ending (not some irritating cliffhanger which happens with so many of these cancelled shows).

It pretty much admits you have to be stoned off your **** to tolerate his material.

I mainlined the 2002 series. And while it had Adam front and center, plenty of other heroes and villains got their shine, sometimes multiple people in a single episode.

And no, he's not in the title, but the splash page on Netflix is Adam locked in a clash with Skeletor. Basically the entire promotion of the show, including Smith's own words was saying "It's not the Teela show", and "He-Man is front and center" blah blah blah. And that's simply not true. He might bring him in later, but people are mad because what they got wasn't advertised, point blank period.

For example what if "CASTLEVANIA" didn't have Alucard, Dracula, or Trevor at all in the first season?

Kevin Smith worked for them. As do we all.

They own everything, my friend.

2002 series was great, but unfortunately didnt get enough interest.

Over here:

https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/masters-of-the-universe-revelation-kevin-smith-teela.html/

^ he did make clear back in early June that Teela was going to be the focus of this show. He also explained how He-Man is too powerful so they have to find ways to get around that.

Then the backlash happened, and thats when he retracted and made the statement that He-Man will be front and centre.

Not defending him, just explaining he didnt completely hide the direction this was going. Plus I doubt he was in charge of the marketing. Directors rarely are.

Dont think the Castlevania example is quite right because the show did start with him, and ended with Prince Adam.

Again, this isnt the ideal show that I would have liked (2002 was also much more to my liking), but I dont think Smith himself has done something terribly wrong here. I certainly prefer using him sparingly to what the ST did with Luke, just butcher his character.

Although maybe ill change my mind on that after seeing the whole season. And like I already said, this wasnt what I was expecting or waiting for.

And that episode parodied the Bad News Bears, too. Loved it.

Clerks animated was great. I wish it could get a reboot.

If Kevin wants Jay & Bob to continue, it shouldn't be live action, IMO.

Watched the 1st season, I thought it was okay. Nothing great, but entertaining enough and a nice dose of nostalgia in seeing childhood favorites on the screen again. 6.5 out of 10.

Seeing people lose their shit over a He-Man cartoon though is highly entertaining to me. 10 out of 10 here. Bravo, Mr. Smith.

I was born in 1980 and enjoyed He-Man as a little boy, but my loyalties went with Transformers and G.I. Joe.

Frank Langella did great as Skeletor in the 80s movie. Pure cheese that was gooey and great.

But this He-Man cartoon featured He-Man in every episode...

Thundercats and Transformers are my top two favorite 80's cartoons. G.I. Joe would be 3rd.

i had jumped on the transformers bandwagon before "transformers" existed. before hasbro bought the rights, 3 G1-identical models were sold in 1983. i had a red version of Sunstreaker sold under a brand named "Diakron", and it was like finding the ring of power. then came tranformers, gi joe, voltron, mask...and the rest of that endless barrage of tv/consumer marketing aimed at children. as if i needed nbc to tell me to try Mr.T cereal. I'd hsve tried it anyway, but not because there was also a saturday morning cartoon.
