You know in ignorance central, also known as USA, the word "literally" literally means "not literally". And I'm not punning here, it's just how it is. If you don't believe it, refer to "Maddow vs OAN" court case.
My dad watched He-Man daily as a kid, and was passionate about it. I looked at his face while he was watching the Netflix show, and it was blank, no emotion. He wasn't even angry, but devoided of any emotions...
He-man was my number 1 main childhood hero. I watched this dumpster fire of a remake today and my disappointment is truly immeasurable and my day was ruined.
All we wanted was a big hunk of a man riding a giant green tiger to fight a skeleton wizard. How hard could it be? Apparently it's impossible in the age of victimhood.
I'm 5'7 150 lbs. I have never once bitched about body builders, athletes, or men of chiseled stone being portrayed as a symbol of masculinity. I am however sick and tired of seeing women's femininity destroyed at the cost of making them masculine while systematically destroying Male masculinity. I refuse to raise my daughter on woke bullshit and teach her 2 genders different but equal and that the law of averages always wins out between the two. This shit isn't about Strong women if you have to destroy men for women to be strong.
I love how He-man sacrifices himself for the good of the entire universe without even a second thought, but when faced with the same choice, Teela is too butt-hurt to do the same thing until her friends talk her inti it. What a hero!
I'm not a He-Man/MOTU fan, but I feel so sorry for all the fans who had to witness and experience this utter disrespect to their favorite childhood hero/franchise.
The show is excellent, good fun. Sad people have serious deficiencies in their lives and they take it out on current creators of their childhood franchises. It's ridiculous and it happens too frequently.
@@agathisrobusta Or maybe, and hear me out here, people have different standards for their entertainment, and them have a variant opinion from your own doesn't make them some kind of cartoonish stereotype. Shocking stuff, that.
There is nothing wrong with having a character that is too powerful. They could be done very well. Conan is too powerful, by all accounts, most accomplished warrior during Hyborian age. But what sets him apart is his unique personality and philosophical view. He has some interesting takes on civilization and human behaviour and that is what makes him interesting. A force of nature with meaning behind it, basically. Today's Mary Sues are devoid of meaning or any philosophical background, created purely to embody a certain political agenda. That is what makes them bad, not being too powerful.
None of these are flaws, the big flaw with Mary sue’s is that they are devoid of personality, and only exist to fill a political agenda. They’re powerful just because they are, there’s no trade off for it, and they are just incredibly bad characters as a result.
More like faux power and faux selflessness. They need men to be weakened hence faux power and they are truly selfish while feigning selflessness hence faux selflessness.
If Kevin Smith made Rocky, Rocky would have died in the first act "sacrificing" himself by getting run over by the Zamboni driver and Adrian would have fought Creed and beat him in the first round.
Rocky would have given up or disqualified himself due to toxic masculinity and 98 pound Adrianna would have crushed Drago after a 90 second training montage. An ally would not knock out Apollo Creed.
Adrian would have fault Creed to a stand still and both would have given up out of “respect” aka woke culture because it would be racist for the white girl to knock out the black guy and it would be sexist and gender shamming for the black guy to knock out the white girl
Isn't this pretty insulting to the character of Teela as well? She is turned into a narcissistic brat without any amount of common sense who is easily one of the most despicable protagonists I ever had the displeasure to see...
@@silverblade357 Exactly. "If I have to be *self-imposed* miserable then EVERYONE has to!" As opposed to, say, breaking out of being miserable by helping and lifting up others. Why raise everyone up in a constructive fashion when it's so much easier to drag every one else down?
Yes! I was so disappointed in how they wrote her. Just another bitter, entitled, narcissistic wahman. Not how the REAL Teela would’ve reacted to the death of her closest friend and banishment of her beloved surrogate father. She would’ve been heartbroken. She wouldn’t have stomped her foot and made it about herself.
@@daysofapril2667 Maybe have her mourn for a bit then come back with a blazing desire for vengeance or to fix the now broken universe. Y'know, like a real person would conceivably react.

@@rexlumontad5644 Probably go with the cliche "revive the hero" arc but then Kevin will have Teela do everything regardless. What a farce this show is.
So Teela gets mad at being "lied" too.. shirks all of her responsibility by running away in order to "find herself".. Shaves the side of her head.. Takes a bunch of testosterone.. And becomes a lesbian. Netflix hits another one right out of the park yet again. Looks like my DVDs from the old 2002 show are going to skyrocket in value.
Not only does she run away, but then the show never holds her accountable for it. No one questions why she left, or blames her for the current state affairs. She simply returns to glory, unharassed and undeterred. Interestingly, when Luke Skywalker decides to give up, he tranforms into a stinky, pathetic old hermit who's lost his way. But not Teela. No, a woman just gets stronger when she loses faith in something foundational.
Skeletor is the TRUE hero of this anime, he wins ultimate power and defeats Mrs. Lesbian Haircut... honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better ending, now I'm off to watch some "Best of skeletor" videos.
@@NkGaming-1101 i‘ve always rooted for skeletor as a kid back then. Simply because i thought skeletor looked much cooler than he man with his fruity haircut 😂
For years Kevin has always stated confidently that he doesn’t care about critics and it only matters what the fans think. Now that the shoe is on the other foot how quickly he has done a 180 degree turn and dismissed all those fans he proclaimed to care about without even blinking. Hypocrite.
Many years ago I read Kevin Smith's diary, 'My Boring Ass Life', which was appropriately titled, and my opinion on the guy completely changed. If he's not working on something, all he did was sleep late, wait for his wife and kid to leave so he could masturbate, go back to sleep, wake up to pick up his kid, eat, sleep, repeat. Every. Single. Day. Now, Kevin Smith wants to preach to others about privilege and thinks everyone else lives in a bubble. All the while, he'll teach you all he knows about diversity and what's best for people. In reality, Kevin Smith is the epitome of 'privilege'. He's the one living in the bubble.

@@rexlumontad5644 unfortunately, I'm sure if this abomination doesn't get cancelled, Teela will just bitch slap Skelegod and take the sword without any real difficulty.
Motu is amazing. Just finished watching with the children. My daughters loved it. So did my sons. They wanted more Teela and, quite honestly, were happy the annoying dumb He-Man was offed in the show. We hope Teela gets married to her love and both women have a happy marriage. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.
Prince Adam got stabbed in the stomach and can recover unless Skeletor with the Sword of Power decides to kill him off or probably left him to slowly die and make him watch destroy everything.
The animation is the one good thing this series has going for it. Compare that to the 3D 'He-Man' series designed by the guy who gave us 'Max Steel,' yet actually Respects its characters.
I guess that's the trade-off Just like how there's a lot of beautiful in the world, their personality proves to be a lot less than appealing. That's not always the case, but it more than common
The original show actually had a childrens' psychiatrist to design the endings and lessons for the needs of the 80's society. That's where I learned a lot of the values, and I only needed to be reminded of "what would He-Man do?" when I was misbehaving. Times were so much better back then.
Exactly, you nailed it. People can call it cheesy all they want, but the people who worked on the show took what was basically a toy commercial and at least tried to do something good with it, something positive for the kids who were watching it.
She-Ra: the story of a lesbian and her group of racially diverse, gay friends He-Man: the story of a lesbian and her group of racially diverse, gay friends
This show pulled a last of us 2, teased that it was going to be about certain characters than killed off the characters that's were teased to be there than replaced with an unlikable character Edit: if you remove all of Teelas feminine features like her hair and her lipstick she looks like a man
What's so weird about this happening to He-Man is Kevin Smith acknowledging what everyone wanted before giving everyone exactly what they did *NOT* want but expected anyway. Is the Hollywood cabal deliberately attempting to lose money, or is there enough money trading hands at the upper level that it doesn't really matter if anyone watches?
@@12ealDealOfficial Hollywood's job is to purvey the messaging that the real overclass wants out there, they can cover the losses. See also the intelligence state's involvement in the modern art movement.
@Dave K I do think parents should be aware of what their child is watching and set reasonable boundaries, but when you say “shouldn’t let their kids watch TV anymore,” do you mean unsupervised/unregulated or just nothing at all? If nothing at all, I would have to disagree. TV is huge form of entertainment, and there are lots of good things for children to watch that haven’t been corrupted by Hollywood. It’s all a matter of simply knowing what your kid is watching, not taking it away completely. Same applies to video-games, books, TH-cam, even the people they hang out with I guess. Make sure what the child is taking in around them is not actively harming them. Sorry for the mini rant.
@@12ealDealOfficial I think I can answer some of that. Hollywood, like other business, have a traditional model of what success is. A big part of getting success in the past has been (1) Good reviews and/or (2) Popularity snowballing by word of mouth (there is buzz, people see it, they like it, more people see it.) The problem is, a large industry generally takes a long time to adjust to changes. They have to wait for "the data" to understand what is happening. With Hollywood, they saw they could only chase good reviews by being woke, because activist reviewers have seized the critic profession specifically to force Hollywood to be woke. They also saw that social media was largely woke. So, naturally, what they assumed is that the public wanted woke stuff. They fell for the vocal minority trap. It takes a long time to make these shows, and over the past few years there has been a clear trend of get woke go broke. Hollywood can now see that their assumptions were incorrect. They can see that what they thought were the audience are not actually the paying audience. The problem Hollywood has now is that the woke still control reviews, but ticket sales are not driven by woke politics (at least, not positively). This is why you have Kevin Smith denying that his show was not about He-Man. This is why the trailer emphasized He-Man. Essentially, they thought they were making a popular show, but about a year ago they started to realize that they hadn't. All they can do right now, with the show made, is try and trick people into watching it. I think the data is in now that woke does not equate to money. What we will see more of going forward are shows that try and walk the tightrope between being woke enough to not anger reviewers but also more in line with what real fans expect. We may also see more shows that just ignore critics and just try to be popular. If you think about it, Hollywood never cared about critics with blockbuster movies/shows in the past. If they know enough people will watch it, they do not care what the reviews are. There is also evidence of general disengagement from politics - people are sick of it - so there should be more shows where they just focus on making a good show.

Technically a 1 party state is the definition of Fascism so therefore maybe it needed a new perspective politically. Why is skeletor taking a turn in the big seat so bad?
This dumpster fire of a show was neither a restart, a revival, nor a reboot...it was a work of "Woke" Fan Fiction (complete with the obviously set-up "rug-pull" for nostalgic fans). In other words, it was a TRAP (in all sense of the word)!
Creators Pre-Release: "We don't care if you don't see it. This wasn't made for you, so your opinion doesn't matter." Creators Post-Release: "I can't believe you bigots didn't watch this."
"We're empowering women" -Portrays the main female character as physically masculine - the main female character literally couldn't care less that the hero sacrificed his life the universe AND gave up heaven to save everyone because of a minor lie - continuously berates her own father after taking his job while all he does is apologize Uhh, who is this for?
I don't have a problem with women being portrayed as masculine, but rather that the show is poorly written. I don't know if Kevin Smith was trying to say something by having Teela fail at her assigned job within five episodes, but if he was, then He should've written a story centering on the villians instead.
@@dapperultron1784 By masculine, I didn't mean her being muscular; I like that as far as female character designs. I mean the whole square jaw and broad shoulders bit. It's a little more tame in comparison to the downturn comics have taken as of late but it's still a part of the same trend that implies women have to look more like men in order to come off as tough. You're right about the writing being bad, but there's a visual aspect to it too. Normally, depicting characters like this is almost always accompanied by bad writing nowadays.
@@toomanysandwiches8665muscular women look good. What makes her makes her look masculine is the broad shoulders, square jaw and proportionally smaller head.
I will never ever understand the “let’s have women look and act better than men by having them look and act EXACTLY like men.” Or at least what Hollywood this a man is.
And how you know it's really a blatant act of emasculating men and masculinity, is that they already had the female version of He-Man, her name is Shee-ra! Why not just reboot that and do all your LGBT+, feminist, gynocentric stuff with that show??
They hate real women. Real women are not strong warriors leading soldiers in battle. Real women are not even soldiers. They hate that women are not men. They therefore think that's it's righteous to transform women into men and they want to force everyone to watch their understanding of what's good, right and true. They don't get that they are sick and delusional.
“…And then Skeletor and He-man, (the main focus of the original show, and what made it so great) disappear.” Literally anyone with more than 1 brain cell: “I think I know where this is going.” *Tosses show in the trash.
No joke, I suffered through a lecture in which the prof argued that the constant violence and wars in Africa were primarily a "feminist issue," because while the men were off fighting (and, ya know, dying,) the women were stuck at home having to farm. Literally, "Man dies, woman most affected."
@@Wranuckl Let me get this right. Kevin Smith wrote something like no Girlfriend for Teela, no stepping aside from He-Man, it's "LITERALLY all about He-Man" and so on, but that's what happens in the first 5 episodes ? I mean the second part can surely fix this. In the end it was a fucking lie, unless you tell and prove to me that those tweets are fake/fotoshopped or something like that. Until then, even with the best series in the world, it sucks. Not the Show tho, but the whole behaviour behind it. His reactions after lying and talking BS now doesn't make it better.
@@Wranuckl Maybe one day I will. My Problem is that I'm kinda part of those "my childhood is ruined" people, just not so extreme. I heard the Show is good, but I also heard that He-Man is "dead". I didn't care who got the lead at that moment. It could be even Man-At-Arms or Orko, would't change a thing for me. He-Man was the Main Character, so I wanted to see him ( especially with all those tweets before ). I would have other expectations if they were honest about that. Another Problem of mine is that they try to milk every kids show from back then ( and AGAIN, with stupid lies in this special case ) just to get Viewers. I didn't watch the new Digimon either. I read so many similar Comments like "we're no kids anymore, so we need more dark/serious topics in the Show". WHY ? The world is fucked up as it is, especially now. So why taking a kids show who spread joy, continue it decades later just to make it serious now ? If you really want that, have the balls and just make a whole new show and go dark as you want. But like I said, that's MY Problem. You guys may have other thoughts about it, which is also fine.
@@Wranuckl well that is a good way to see it. If you have interest in such stories you should look into the Injustice Comics. Seeing He-man with the Justice League was amazing ^^
The greatest warrior the planet has ever known falls during the planet's darkest hour. Teela: And you kept his identity a secret from me?! Screw you, guys, I'm going home!
I’m glad they splooged their propaganda in the first episode/season itself, instead of the second season, which is what they (Netflix, Amazon etc) usually do.
My favorite thing about Teela throwing a hissy fit and rage quitting because she wasn't let in on a secret: Her reaction completely justifies Adam not telling her. All Adam has to say is "I didn't tell you because I knew you'd do this."
I was born in 1978 so He-Man, Voltron, Transformers, G.I.Joe, Robotech, and Thundercats is my childhood. Girls complained about Barbie’s body type being nigh-unreasonable clearly never watched He-Man; it’s improbable for a man to look like He-Man without a lot of steroids! A show where He-Man was more of a background character actually *could* work; he’s basically the Superman of Eternia and he always, always wins. The Masters of the Universe were never in any real danger when fighting against Zodiak’s Horde and Skeletor’s Masters of Darkness when He-Man could always show up to save them. But this? This is Wokeness x1,000,000. The He-Man live-action movie was significantly better than this crap. The truth is, and I know that there’s a lot of people that refuse to listen to this truth, is that there ARE numerous differences between men and women and no, you cannot do everything that I can do ‘better’ despite the song. The strongest woman in the world has a record bench press of about 400lbs. While that’s impressive and I freely admit that’s more than I can bench at 43 years old (what’s my max bench, you ask? How much does a box of Cheez-Itz weigh? I can bench two of those. Much power.) that’s barely the average bench press of a linebacker in the NFL. The record for a man, with an bench assist shirt, is over 1,000lbs; I forget the record for a man’s raw record bench but it’s over 700lbs. No woman on earth will *ever* be able to come close to that. Why? Because sexism, that’s why. No, it’s because our bodies are created differently. Whether you believe in the Almighty as I do or if you believe in evolution, there’s a lot more differences between men and women than just sexual organs. My point with this rant is that it’s okay to accept our differences and to even take a measure of pride in them. While motherhood seems to be less appreciated than ever before in today’s society a man can never know the joy and yes, the difficulties and trials, in conceiving a child inside of us, nurturing that baby over nine months, and then bringing that life into our world in the unbelievable honor and undeniable beauty (and pain) of childbirth. These things are worth celebrating. We do not need more Wokeness crapping all over our childhood memories, and we don’t need more nonsense trying to homogenize the differences between men and women. It’s okay to be proud to be a man and it’s okay to be proud to be a woman. I rant, I know, and I digress too often, but stop trying to destroy manhood and womanhood for the love of the Lord. This crap has gotten out of hand.
I agree He-Man has the Superman problem, but I'm sure there are better ways of dealing with that than just writing out the main character from the entire "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" franchise.
Could you imagine if Adora dies in the She-Ra reboot and the series is taken over by leading male characters that were straight? I am sure that would have gone over real well.
Would never happen, because men can coexist with women in a show. "Strong Women"(tm) need to have men stripped out and hobbled, have faults and struggles vanish, and they are still angry with the world because they know they are fake.
I especially liked it when Teela went off at everyone in the throne room at the end of the first episode. You know, after Duncan is banished and has his life threatened by the King? Yeah, and then Teela decides to refuse an order, disrespect the Queen , talk down to all of them (you know, to the grieving parents and the rulers of the Land, one of whom just banished Duncan) and then just "walks away". And everyone just stands there. Ummm, just wow... she's so strong and so powerful that not even the Royals can do anything to her. So strong. She's untouchable.
All the king had to do was sigh in misery at his lost son, and quietly, distractedly say was "Guards. Seize her. Off with her head." Would have fixed the whole scene.
or after finding out that the two men she loved most in the world were the same man and now he is dead she breaks emotionally and lashes out like she always has? the king just blaming duncan because he is also lashing out in pain maybe? like humans do? acting how these characters have always acted?
@@VerkrVerkryeah i remember when my mom got euthanasy and i punched the doctor, who then lashed out and blamed me for her death. You know, thats what humans do.... oh wait no thats something that one dimensional characters do in shitty scripts.
She clearly had the hots for he-man though, they subverted that stereotype lol. If you can't how they made her look at he-man, then idk what to tell you lmaooo
There is nothing uglier and more repulsive than this half-shaved haircut. Any woman that would burden us with such a spectacle needs to be ostracized from life.
Yes! Going back to watch it now. Plenty of lore, treated the source material (a toy commercial, but so was star wars in the end) with respect and managed to just be a simple show about good vs evil, spared from gender and identity politics.
I honestly feel bad for the animators. This is quality artwork. Animation is hard, thankless, and hardly ever worth the amount of time, energy, and resources put into it. People don't go into animation to get rich. People do it because they want to create, people who are inspired and have an innate passion for their craft. And they will gravitate towards opportunities to share it. When was the last time anyone who devoted their entire life to animation have their name highlighted in the opening credits of any work in media in which they placed a significant contribution? Their names are usually just shoved into the high-speed end credits after a second round of reminding the audience of the voice talents as if we all lined up for a radio broadcast.
So Teela, while informing two parents their only child is dead, throws a temper tantrum and makes it all about her hurt fee-fees. The perfect storyline for the age of woke narcissism we're living in. And BTW, Kevin Smith is a shameless liar.
art imitating life, for sure .... not that this should be considered, in anyway, a form of art. Heck, the guy who paints with elephant poop has more claim on art
There was a She-Ra episode, where Hordak got hit with a spell that would erase him from reality unless at least one soul sheds a tear for him. He ran around in panic, trying to get his minions to feel sad about him, but they were either indifferent or happy about him disappearing forever. In the end, the only person who actually cried for him was She-Ra herself because when she looked at Hordak, she saw a person who made so many bad choices that he pushed away anyone who would genuinely care about him, especially in his most vulnerable state. From her point of view it was a very miserable and lonely life to live, so she felt genuinely sorry for him. She never regretted that her empathy saved the life of her enemy because she was here to protect lives and took no pleasure in taking them away. He-Man spoke a lot about empathy too, saving Skeletor's minions and villains from death because he believed that he is a guardian and protector, even if someone isn't on his side, it doesn't mean they have to die. It was implied that some of the He-Man's kindness left its imprint on Skeletor (that Chirstmas Special episode). So, empathy and support were a huge deal in both He-Man and The Masters of the Universe and She-Ra: The Princess of Power. Now we have Teela who does...this, instead of trying to defuse the situation or support her father after his unfair treatment. And someone calls it a progress in writing strong female characters.
The weird thing is, kevin smith used to be so radically different. I tell some people from back in the day who liked clerks, and basically moved on with there lives and can give a shit less about the internet to check him out and get back to me, theyre literally like holy shit wtf happend to this guy. He used to just like idk, idk maybe it was something to with losing weight idk. I know alot of people who when they lost alot of weight there personality completely changed. I know the dude had a heart attack and i dont know the details idk, maybe that changed his life or how he acted, but man he used to be wayy more just like dark and based. I remember hearing him talking onetime in NYC to a fan, and he was saying so much derogatory messed up things it was rediculous, but this was the late 90s so i mean idk it was just so different. Its crazy to see how much people change. But yeah man anyone who remember how this guy used to be knows what i mean, he just used to say whatever he wanted and didnt seem held back in the slightest, now he seems overly kind and idk just idk maybe he became a christian or someshit who knows.
Fans: We want a He Man show. Smith: Did you say a show that has He Man in it? Fans: Uh, yeah. Smith: Okay, here is a show with He Man in it. Fans: But it seems to be mostly about Teela. Smith: But He Man is in it. Fans: What we wanted was a He Man show. You know, where the widely beloved icon is the focus. Smith: he does stuff. Fans: As a background character. Smith: Shut up you just hate Teela and women. Fans: We liked Teela before this… Smith: Shut up my narrative is the true narrative. I am not really a He Man fan but I still hate how corporations just love to piss on their audiences then just throw their money around buying other corporations. It be like if they made a Mulan show but killed her off and made Shang a arrogant douche. The irony is that the kind of people who like destroying male heroes would get very mad at that, when they have been doing it themselves for a while.

They're a part of the same cabal of propagandists that are trying to reshape the traditional storytelling to conform to their ideology. No matter what a person with hindsight would say, the normies would only keep consuming. The Last of Us 2 was woke crap but people still bought it because they can't see through the facade.

And he's trying to bank off it. Seriously check out his twitter: "I"m the guy that ruined MOTU! Want to talk about it on my podcast tonight?" can you believe there was a time when serious movie critics thought this guy was an up-and-coming superstar director? He became a shill of himself (no typo)
He is also the same man that was making fun of producers that wanted to make a Superman movie where he doesnt do any Superman shit. How the times have changed.

Rmemeber when Kevin Smith made wacky but grounded comedies about lower-middle class white people existing in this clown show we call the modern world? Pepperidge Farms Remembers.
MOTU Viewer: Hey, so why would Teela decide to abandon her post, her dream job, her army, her kingdom, two grieving parents, and disown her family just because she didn't know Adam was He-Man? Like, it's not a great place to be, but loads of ppl didn't know he was He-Man. Even his own dad. And the ones who did know, knew because the Sorceress told them back in the day, not Adam, and only so Adam would have guides and support while he bore the burden of being He-Man and keeping the secrets of Grayskull and the sword of power safe. All this seems like a bit of a wild reaction if I'm honest, and completely out of character for Teela, who was hot-headed and could be reckless in the old series, but never at the expense of her kingdom or friends. She was pragmatic, intelligent, and capable of dealing with unexpected revelations. Why is she now such an emotionally resentful and self-centred person? Show: Don't know. But look how strong and female she is. And gay. Viewer: Yeah, about that, how come you imply she's gay now, but do nothing with it in terms of the narrative or in developing her character. This kinda reminds me of Loki's throwaway bi-sexuality. You do less here than shows who first did this sort of thing more than a decade ago, like Korra and Xena. But these days, isn't this just cynical and lazy queerbaiting? Show: Nope. It's (reads from cue card) diverse and inclusive. Viewer: Hey, so this Andra girl is smart (except when she doesn't know anything about a massive war that happened a handful of years ago for some reason), brave, and pretty self-less. She seems to want to be a hero and help Eternia. This motivation would appear to put her wants and needs at complete odds with Teela's, who only cares about money and not being a hero. Why at no point during the series does that ever become a point of conflict as more and more people die and the mission becomes more dangerous? Show: Don't know. Viewer: Hey, so how did Teela manage to summon magical power she had no idea she possessed when fighting not-Skeletor in hell? What did she do to subdue him in his own house, and nab the sword? It seemed to be more than turning his game against him, and something awakened in her akin to the Sorceress' power. How did any of that work? Why did it seem so easy and convenient? Even the Sorceress can't do magic like that quite so easily. What gives? Show: Don't know. But she's his worst nightmare now! Viewer: (sighs...) she certainly is. So, if she's doing magic now, and she hates magic, shouldn't she have less of a gung-ho reaction to it? Shouldn't she be slightly disturbed at what this means? And why doesn't she, you know, just do it again and own not-Skeletor instead of letting Orko fucking die and blaming Evil-Lyn for it? Show: Viewer: Yea, I mean, like Evil-Lyn actually tries to save him but the fact she has no magic power left means she can't and... hold on a fucking minute here. They're in Subternia, where magic is somewhat plentiful, and Orko's even able to do some impressive shit and Teela herself is unlocking arse-pulled magical feats. Why the fuck is Evil-Lyn still so powerless? Shouldn't she be able to do something that doesn't rely solely on the orb of energy the Sorceress gave her? If she wants to save Orko, why couldn't she? Show: But Orko has to die now and if Lyn and Teela can do magic then that can't happen the way we want it to. It's what we like to call "great writing that operates within the rules and internal logic of the fantasy show we've built and presented to you in order to let you suspend disbelief and understand the stakes and threat of any given fantastical situation." Viewer: Show: You're welcome. Viewer: Hey, know how Teela's really fucking pissed at everyone because they never told her about Adam's secret magical power? How come when she unlocks her own secret magical power the first thing she does is not tell anyone and just keeps it completely to herself? Doesn't tell Andra. Doesn't even tell ADAM. Show: Um... well you see... err... Viewer: Hey, so why does Teela seem to mourn Roboto's death more than Adam's? Thinking about it, if he has all of Duncan's memories, wouldn't he also have known Adam was He-Man? Is she not pissed off at him as well? Show: Because she's a complex and emotional creature, misogynist. And as for the Roboto knowing everything Duncan knows... yea, I guess Teela kinda forgot about that. Viewer: Hey, so does Teela really not speak to her dad, Orko, Cringer, or Roboto after leaving the palace until the events of episode 3? She has no idea how sick Orko was or how they were doing? But wouldn't she have wanted answers about Adam and the secret once she calmed down and got herself together? Wouldn't she want to reconsider all her rash decisions before this point and reach out to her father to understand the truth that was hidden from her? Did she really just cut them all out of her life because they told her a lie? Like, completely and forever cut them out? Is Teela a psychopath? Show: No, she's a strong woman now, and to be a strong woman, you simply need to be just like a man, but without the reason or accountability. And you need muscles. Viewer: About the muscles... Show: She's a warrior, you big chauvinist. Girl warriors have muscles. Viewer: Okay... then why does Evil-Lyn have huge muscles? She's not a physical warrior. She's a mage who needs hired guns to do full-on fighting for her. Show: Err... Viewer: While we're at it, if all the magic's gone from Eternia except for wee scraps here and there, how is Evil-Lyn initially doing that disguise spell? And why is she being presented as some sort of spurned yet redeemable anti-hero rather than Skeletor's co-conspirator? Show: Now you listen to us, boy. All women are inherently good. All men are liars, heretics, cheats, bad fathers, skeleton monsters, or DEAD. Keep up. You're just angry because you think we ruined He-Man. Viewer: You didn't ruin him. How could you? He's not in it. You didn't ruin Skeletor either. Because he's also not in it - and it's probably for the best because I don't trust you to write for that supreme, meme machine, sassy bitch. You ruined Teela. You kinda ruined Man At Arms. The only one you didn't ruin was Orko and that's because you fucking killed him instead. Show: I'm so glad we could subvert your expectations.
I know the majority of people here will fully agree this is an amazing comment but I just wanna hop in early to let you know you won't get a anywehre near the amount of likes you deserve for that mighty comment
I don't know what to feel anymore. Every franchise I ever loved has been burned beyond recognition. I grew up with He-man, my Dad showed me a lot of episodes from the first few seasons on an old website and we would watch them together, while he would tell me all of these things about it that I thought were the coolest things as a six year old boy who never really saw old cartoons at the time. To see someone who added to my teenage angst make this just hurts me. Everything hurts now.
I thought it was freakin great. The first episode was like a series finale to the old 80's show. Then they dealt with the serious ramifications of an Eternia without He-man, an Eternia without magic and a weakened sorcerous. All the old characters from back in the day were still around and He-man's friends had to overcome some big obstacles without him. In the end Adam had to make yet another big sacrifice, proving himself to be Eternia's greatest champion. I'm kind of surprised everyone hates it so much. I didn't actually expect it to be the show from the 80's, where each episode is some new plan by Skeletor that He-Man easily overcomes. I'm looking forward to part 2, where Skeletor holds the power and Eternia is still without its champion. I think it's safe to assume all of this is leading up to He-Man returning and saving the day in the end.
@@RenlangRen Let's be honest, even the fans rating are pretty useless. I mean Black Widow got higher rating than Avengers (2012) and the first Iron Man (92% vs 91%). Not a huge difference but that movie is clearly inferior to the other two.
I was actually excited for the first 30 mins or so - Terminator gets John Connor, Sarah Conner still a badass and a half-human/Terminator hybrid. On paper, this was gonna be GOOD! Then, the rest happened.
Eventually it will just be a sigh and a whisper. As the last man on earth, watching society crumble to dust and ashes around him, unable to breathe deep of the now toxic air to force out anything louder than a murmur.
"Hey guys, we're bringing back He-Man with this cool modern art style and this more adult storyline!" "Horray! That's exactly what we want!" "But what if we SUBVERT YOUR EXPECTATIONS? Wouldn't that be so cool and unique and unexpected?" Why can't we just have nice things.
@@ChainedFei I am already Yuripilled. It's just that I'm still a normal human being with natural responses to get excited when something potentially good is to happen. I mean at least there were the leaks to dampen the blow I suppose. If I didn't know this bullshit until today I'd probably be outright depressed.
This broke my heart; to see how the creative team buried he-man in the dirt. The animation is incredible and that’s about all the good points i gathered from the show. Everything else is woke agenda, spit on the fan’s face storyline, stunning and brave dialogue, childish self centered mentality, and total disrespect for what made this classic show a great show.
*Netflix executive* - *"How can we desecrate their childhood memories?"* *Kevin Smith* - "Well, I don't know exactly how we're going do it yet.....but I got a few ideas." *Netflix executive* - "Ok great - what did you have in mind, Kevin?" *Kevin Smith* - "Well...you know how in the past the show was centered around He-Man?" *Netflix executive* - "Well yeah. I mean He-Man is obviously gonna be the main character of the show - he always is." *Kevin Smith* - "Nope, not anymore! He-Man is fucking gone! In fact he's barely gonna be in it!" *Netflix executive* - "Wow Kevin.....I mean that is.......just brilliant! The fans are gonna be so fucking pissed! Ha ha ha." *Kevin Smith* - "Yep - they sure are!"
It's called "subverting expectations", didn't you know. It's apparently very, very important to 'subvert expectations' nowadays. Subverting expectations is *tight*. It's also quite convenient for a new author, totally ignorant of the previous stuff.
I mean, with Dark Fate. It is at least consistent that a Terminator movie would focus on Sarah Connor as that would did. It is like John Connor was the main character for 5 films and then they made it about his mom because feminism. Outside of Rise of the Machines/Salvation, she’s the main character anyway. Even the TV show was called the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
@@TheJadedJames lmao. This is the most insane take on terminator I've ever seen. John Connor was the savior of the human race in the Terminator universe. Sarah Connor has a major role in that. Her role is to have John, raise him, protect him and train him. John is the reason why the first movie even happened. He's the star of T2, T3, Salvation and several novels. The TV show was terrible, Genysis was ridiculous making him a Terminator and Dark Fate is an absolute abortion of the franchise sacrificed on the alter of woke Hollywood.
@@ChuckTownRC51 John was't even conceived yet in the original movie. A trilogy of movies with Linda Hamilton as the through line is totally reasonable. I don't even like Dark Fate. I'm just saying a Terminator movie where John Connor is barely involved =/= a Masters of the Universe thing that barely has He-Man. Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger are far more iconic to the Terminator brand than any version of JC. He's the device that gets those actors into the action.
He-Man: Sacrifices life to protect the universe. Moss Man: Sacrifices life battling Skeletor to defend the universe. Orko: Sacrifices life to save his friends. Roboto: Sacrifices life to complete the mission. Man-At-Arms: Sacrifices everything to protect his prince's secret. Adam: Dies (probably) again. Teela: But my feelings, tho. Kevin Smith: I know, right? Lyin' is like the worst thing someone can do to you. Clownfish TV:
For some reason it’s alright to do this to He-man and sideline him in his own show. But I bet you they wouldn’t dare to do this to someone like Wonder Woman and make Steve Trevor the main character. Because He-Man is a symbol of the evil patriarchy and Wonder Woman is stunning and brave. Fucking typical.
@@theflyingninja1 because of feminism, i assume (they want to establish their matriarchy). Reduce men to harmless creatures, make artificial sperm (or whatever), get s*x robots, turn women into lesbians (there’s no such thing as gay gene), tell that having babies harms the planet, get more and more women into work places. This way you will be sure that there will never be a patriarchy. They’re basically turning women into men, giving them all manly attributes. You should see the problem with this even if you’re not, say, religious. I’m not even tripping, this is the stuff they’re open about.
Yep. I always find it funny that in order to prop up women, the men have to be taken down. They’re incapable of having both happen at the same time. It’s always the same
Is anybody really surprised at this point? They do this to every beloved franchise. Just wait until Amazon's Lord of the Rings show comes out. That is going to be a proper sh*tshow.
Aye, and yet people continue to reward this behavior by watching it. Too many posts of people saying they watched it. Like the writing wasn't on the wall. But you gotta watch it first to make up your own mind they say. Well, that is what Netflix and Soy Smith are banking on. That you're stupid enough to watch it to make up your mind. Money for them in the bank! Stop giving money to people that hate you!
I can't wait! Just think of all of the minority check boxes that can be ticked. Frodo will be a girl with the obligatory side shave, Bilbo will be gay, Gandalf will be black, and every character will either be Black, Hispanic, Asian, gay or Trans. And if you don't tell everyone how great it is you'll be labelled racist or something. This truly is the very best entertainment!
I doubt they'll drag LOTR through the same treatment, Tolkien's estate is EXTREMELY selective on who gets adaptation rights and afaik even then they can still veto studio decisions.
@@PaoloNovaro nah that was before when Tolkeins son was alive, the family have sold off all the rights now so its open season on the lore and franchise as a whole. There was a meeting recently with the show runners and the Tolkien estate titled "Diversity in middle earth" its gonna be baaaaaaad
@@bobbyshaddoe3004 Which he didn't know about at the time, nor did anyone else there apparently. Even if he did, the show clearly stated that if he didn't do it, it'd destroy everything instantly so... Either die heroicly to buy the universe time to fix it, or let the universe just fucking die then and there. Pretty sure Adam would pick the one that gave the universe a chance.
This may have been the worst show I’ve watched in a decade. I’m glad I’m not alone in this view. Kevin completely betrayed my childhood fave show. For shame on Netflix. If you get you needed this kinda show storyline wise make up a new one Q force style. But leave the childhood IP’s as they are. Truly terrible. Could’ve been the next Invincible. Instead straight trash.
Just like the Star Wars sequel trilogy, this will be regarded by fans as rubbish fan fiction, nothing more. He-Man began and ended in the 80s. Enough said.
I just had an epiphany. What if. . . what if what they are trying to do is obscure the past? They know this shit doesn't work. It's been proven time and time again. They aren't _complete_ idiots. These agenda driven attempts never succeed but what they do is that they become the most recent version of old franchises which could, in the long run, push the originals into irrelevance. I mean, 2-3 decades from now the average consumer won't know better unless we keep making noise.
I loved the finishing segment of the original show, where He-Man spoke about the issues explored in the episode. Sometimes they were silly, sometimes serious, but he always gave advice. How is that no positive? She-Ra did the same. The Silver Hawks were more focused on teaching kids about planets and whatnot. God, I miss those shows.
It's like Last Jedi where the only positive role model who is male is one who sacrifices himself and goes away so that the female star can shine. Batwoman has Bruce Wayne vanish for no reason
Kevin Smith reminds me of some of my nerdy friends from the 90's who would do anything, not matter how shitty it would be, to be part of the group of cool kids at school.
There have been bigger hacks in Hollywood, but somehow Kevin Smith manages to be a tier below them. I don't think it's hubris or ignorance to say that He-Man fans could've been the easiest demographic to impress ever. A dormant franchise with no relevancy whatsoever, a fan base with no actual hype for the show but have no high expectations either, with a reputation for being a simple, over-the-top, and fun animated series that you'd just let your kids watch until dinner. Whether you want to "reinvent" the show or keep it all the same, there's literally no way you can turn this into a net negative in quality. But he did. Smith found a way to screw up fucking He-Man. He-Man, like the stupid but charming show for young boys, yeah he fucked it up. How? All you had to do is to remake fucking He-Man. Just write with the same fun and charming spirit while also making it somewhat palettable today. Instead he decides to court the woke crowd, a group that doesn't even give two shits about He-Man, with contrived plot elements, heatless drama between characters, and an overall dull and forgettable story and expects a standing ovation? This isn't even coming from a person who particularly cared for He-Man, it's just... how did you manage to make this divisive?
@@wojak-sensei6424 I'm not closely following all of this cuz there's more important things in life then she-man. But do you think Smith had ¨carte blanche¨? I'm pretty sure an executive had a word to say. They probably did the cost benefit analysis and figured all 40 yo + heman fan will listen to it and keep on paying netflix no matter how shitty it i, so might as well bring the new generation with woke themes. To me they don't give a shit about fans, its the number of subscriber they have that counts. Kevin SMith even said so in a way. Keep on giving your money to those people and they will keep rebooting crap...
@@wrongspell6619 Not saying that Smith was the evil mastermind, but more of the boot-licking accomplice. Knowing Kevin's reputation as a willing shill just to get into the inner circles of the film industry, you can't fault me for concluding that this shit is an exhibition for him. That said, this show doesn't deserve anyone's time. He-Man fans, casuals, the woke crowd, everyone. And that does require indifference towards the situation rather than scorn, but we gotta put some time into smacking some sense into this dude. Netflix didn't need him to do this shit, and he thinks he's so special to land this job that he's fighting fans on the internet about him not understanding He-Man of all things. If he wants to be a pawn for the same people who's killing this industry, fine. But don't expect your hack friends to aid in your rescue, Smith. As the Drinker said, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
80’s Filmation He-Man: Prince Adam/He-Man protector of castle Greyskull and the strongest man in the universe! 2021 Netflix He-Man: Teela an angry-bitter-selfish-lesbian protector of woke agenda!
Ka-Ren and the Masters of Intersectionality. The quest begins by setting out to see the manager of Castle Greyskull and culminates in Ka-Ren becoming the new manager after saving Eternia from toxic masculinity and the cis white male patriarchy. He-Man is banished to the shadow realm of Despondos for diversity and inclusion training.
You forgot the "anger management" therapy which all us males in this 'toxically masculine' patriarchy need. And here I was, literally crying over how Azula (Mostly evil Princess from Avatar The Last Airbender) needs help after she collapses mentally near the end of the series - I never would have thought I could get the stories of therapy from He Man cartoons. Thanks for enlightening me :)
Why does Adam look like a woman and Teela like a man?! Why is she more muscular than Skeletor?! WTF?! Why Skeletor suddenly worries about his looks and getting laid?! Show is horrendous!
It's weird because I watched Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981), and Marion, Indies love interest, was as tough as nails, but also used her feminine charm to elude her opponents. Which made her a great character...
Writing great female Characters ought to start with acknowledging the virtues of nurture, grace and care that Women are capable off in ways Men often aren't. Then you give them flaws to overcome like any other Good Character. Let's take Chihiro from Spirited Away for example; She starts of as a spoiled brat who is afraid of the unfamiliar. She learns to grow once she's tossed into a Spirit World filled with unfamiliar things. her strengths lie in her will to help others which flourishes even further once she learns to take responsibility. She then encounters a baby character who reflects who she used to be and helps them to mature from her experience to some extent. Another example oddly from modern Disney of all people; Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon. She is a typical action heroine yet has a fatal flaw in her sense of trust which plays a crucial role in the story's message. the end of the world practically takes it toll all because she couldn't trust people and when everything goes wrong, she doesn't try to fix it, she takes out her anger on her rival. She learns her mistakes come the end of the movie. A balance of Female Virtue can be obtained. It's just that modern Hollywood has been carried away by modernist agenda whilst ironically tossing aside that woman from Mandalorian. We just need writers who know what their doing.

Mary Sue's are only allowed to have 2 specific character "flaws":
1. Being too powerful
2. Being too selfless
Looks like they went with 1 this time.
There is nothing wrong with having a character that is too powerful. They could be done very well. Conan is too powerful, by all accounts, most accomplished warrior during Hyborian age. But what sets him apart is his unique personality and philosophical view. He has some interesting takes on civilization and human behaviour and that is what makes him interesting. A force of nature with meaning behind it, basically. Today's Mary Sues are devoid of meaning or any philosophical background, created purely to embody a certain political agenda. That is what makes them bad, not being too powerful.
None of these are flaws, the big flaw with Mary sue’s is that they are devoid of personality, and only exist to fill a political agenda. They’re powerful just because they are, there’s no trade off for it, and they are just incredibly bad characters as a result.
More like faux power and faux selflessness. They need men to be weakened hence faux power and they are truly selfish while feigning selflessness hence faux selflessness.

And becomes a lesbian. Netflix hits another one right out of the park yet again. Looks like my DVDs from the old 2002 show are going to skyrocket in value.
Yeah...😅
I hope my (original) action figures do the same, so many missing weapons though.
Sounds like the path Abby takes in tlou2 besides the lesbian part and it making even less sense.
Not only does she run away, but then the show never holds her accountable for it. No one questions why she left, or blames her for the current state affairs. She simply returns to glory, unharassed and undeterred. Interestingly, when Luke Skywalker decides to give up, he tranforms into a stinky, pathetic old hermit who's lost his way. But not Teela. No, a woman just gets stronger when she loses faith in something foundational.
I honestly hated the 1980s He-man, but that 2002 show was The Shit! A shame they never finished it.
Of course the critics give it 97% positive ratings. LOL

@@Aristocat-123 "fruity haircut" made me laugh way more than it should have done. I'm not an english speaker.
Skeletor probably doesn't even make sassy savage quips in the new show like he used to in the original
For years Kevin has always stated confidently that he doesn’t care about critics and it only matters what the fans think. Now that the shoe is on the other foot how quickly he has done a 180 degree turn and dismissed all those fans he proclaimed to care about without even blinking. Hypocrite.
Ah yes, I recall the “not for reviewers” shenanigans around critics panning Jersey Girl. You’re right on the money.
Many years ago I read Kevin Smith's diary, 'My Boring Ass Life', which was appropriately titled, and my opinion on the guy completely changed. If he's not working on something, all he did was sleep late, wait for his wife and kid to leave so he could masturbate, go back to sleep, wake up to pick up his kid, eat, sleep, repeat. Every. Single. Day.
Now, Kevin Smith wants to preach to others about privilege and thinks everyone else lives in a bubble. All the while, he'll teach you all he knows about diversity and what's best for people. In reality, Kevin Smith is the epitome of 'privilege'. He's the one living in the bubble.

Motu is amazing. Just finished watching with the children. My daughters loved it. So did my sons. They wanted more Teela and, quite honestly, were happy the annoying dumb He-Man was offed in the show. We hope Teela gets married to her love and both women have a happy marriage.

Exactly 💯
@@tubesockvii2351 You're a sad person who only revels in seeing beautiful things ruined. Grow up.
Prince Adam got stabbed in the stomach and can recover unless Skeletor with the Sword of Power decides to kill him off or probably left him to slowly die and make him watch destroy everything.
Why does something so beautiful have to suck so bad? This animation looks great and cripes Skeletor's new form at the end there is freaking awesome!
The animation is the one good thing this series has going for it. Compare that to the 3D 'He-Man' series designed by the guy who gave us 'Max Steel,' yet actually Respects its characters.
I guess that's the trade-off
Just like how there's a lot of beautiful in the world, their personality proves to be a lot less than appealing. That's not always the case, but it more than common
It contains a spiritual lesson about superficiality and technology.
He looked a bit corny when he became tbe master of the universe. Reminded me of Jafar whe be became a genie.
The original show actually had a childrens' psychiatrist to design the endings and lessons for the needs of the 80's society. That's where I learned a lot of the values, and I only needed to be reminded of "what would He-Man do?" when I was misbehaving.
Times were so much better back then.
G.I. Joe had those corny PSAs but they always tried to put out information. I mean sometimes were just common sense but it was still cool.
Exactly, you nailed it. People can call it cheesy all they want, but the people who worked on the show took what was basically a toy commercial and at least tried to do something good with it, something positive for the kids who were watching it.
Imagine, today going like „what would my favorite’s cartoon show protagonist do?“ - uh-oh… that‘s gonna end badly, kid
Everything was better back in the day.
Watching those shows taught me life lessons
She-Ra: the story of a lesbian and her group of racially diverse, gay friends
He-Man: the story of a lesbian and her group of racially diverse, gay friends
she-ra is,even for a newcommer,a shitty show.
Not lesbian. Trans women.
Spot on!
WTF! just...WTF!!
I know right
This show pulled a last of us 2, teased that it was going to be about certain characters than killed off the characters that's were teased to be there than replaced with an unlikable character
Edit: if you remove all of Teelas feminine features like her hair and her lipstick she looks like a man
What's so weird about this happening to He-Man is Kevin Smith acknowledging what everyone wanted before giving everyone exactly what they did *NOT* want but expected anyway. Is the Hollywood cabal deliberately attempting to lose money, or is there enough money trading hands at the upper level that it doesn't really matter if anyone watches?
@@12ealDealOfficial Hollywood's job is to purvey the messaging that the real overclass wants out there, they can cover the losses. See also the intelligence state's involvement in the modern art movement.
@Dave K I do think parents should be aware of what their child is watching and set reasonable boundaries, but when you say “shouldn’t let their kids watch TV anymore,” do you mean unsupervised/unregulated or just nothing at all?
If nothing at all, I would have to disagree. TV is huge form of entertainment, and there are lots of good things for children to watch that haven’t been corrupted by Hollywood. It’s all a matter of simply knowing what your kid is watching, not taking it away completely.
Same applies to video-games, books, TH-cam, even the people they hang out with I guess. Make sure what the child is taking in around them is not actively harming them.
Sorry for the mini rant.
@@12ealDealOfficial I think I can answer some of that. Hollywood, like other business, have a traditional model of what success is. A big part of getting success in the past has been (1) Good reviews and/or (2) Popularity snowballing by word of mouth (there is buzz, people see it, they like it, more people see it.) The problem is, a large industry generally takes a long time to adjust to changes. They have to wait for "the data" to understand what is happening. With Hollywood, they saw they could only chase good reviews by being woke, because activist reviewers have seized the critic profession specifically to force Hollywood to be woke. They also saw that social media was largely woke. So, naturally, what they assumed is that the public wanted woke stuff. They fell for the vocal minority trap. It takes a long time to make these shows, and over the past few years there has been a clear trend of get woke go broke. Hollywood can now see that their assumptions were incorrect. They can see that what they thought were the audience are not actually the paying audience. The problem Hollywood has now is that the woke still control reviews, but ticket sales are not driven by woke politics (at least, not positively). This is why you have Kevin Smith denying that his show was not about He-Man. This is why the trailer emphasized He-Man. Essentially, they thought they were making a popular show, but about a year ago they started to realize that they hadn't. All they can do right now, with the show made, is try and trick people into watching it.
I think the data is in now that woke does not equate to money. What we will see more of going forward are shows that try and walk the tightrope between being woke enough to not anger reviewers but also more in line with what real fans expect. We may also see more shows that just ignore critics and just try to be popular. If you think about it, Hollywood never cared about critics with blockbuster movies/shows in the past. If they know enough people will watch it, they do not care what the reviews are. There is also evidence of general disengagement from politics - people are sick of it - so there should be more shows where they just focus on making a good show.
"The show is called He-Man."
"Yes?"
"Then why is it ALL WOMEN?!"
If you notice its not called "He-Man" anymore, its just "Masters of the Universe", no one noticed the reason until now

In this version, Skeletor becoming the master of the universe is the happy ending.
If you think about it, he's the perfect role model for our modern era.
He's intelligent, driven and in great shape. He's the head of his own organisation with clear goals and the will to see it through without any concerns for other peoples' "morality" or "ethics".
One can only hope. Hope thats the ending of this series.
@@Ch35h1r3C47 I'd rather him be in charge. He's very entertaining and clearly doesn't take himself too seriously.

This dumpster fire of a show was neither a restart, a revival, nor a reboot...it was a work of "Woke" Fan Fiction (complete with the obviously set-up "rug-pull" for nostalgic fans). In other words, it was a TRAP (in all sense of the word)!

Can you imagine the screaming if they brought back she-ra, killed her in the first episode and then the rest of the show was about three guys….
Here's my money! Take it! lol
RIIIGHT???? LOL Someone should make that happen with used footage, like they did with Sealab 2021
So far you’re the best script writer of 2021, can’t wait to see how it ends.
I saw a better example it would be like a Sailor moon reboot that killed her off and the show was about a gay Tuxedo mask who hates her now.
I doubt critics would go "Kevin Smith smartly updated..."
"We're empowering women"
-Portrays the main female character as physically masculine
- the main female character literally couldn't care less that the hero sacrificed his life the universe AND gave up heaven to save everyone because of a minor lie
- continuously berates her own father after taking his job while all he does is apologize
Uhh, who is this for?
I don't have a problem with women being portrayed as masculine, but rather that the show is poorly written. I don't know if Kevin Smith was trying to say something by having Teela fail at her assigned job within five episodes, but if he was, then He should've written a story centering on the villians instead.
@@dapperultron1784 By masculine, I didn't mean her being muscular; I like that as far as female character designs. I mean the whole square jaw and broad shoulders bit. It's a little more tame in comparison to the downturn comics have taken as of late but it's still a part of the same trend that implies women have to look more like men in order to come off as tough. You're right about the writing being bad, but there's a visual aspect to it too. Normally, depicting characters like this is almost always accompanied by bad writing nowadays.
muscular woman apparently dont exist
@@toomanysandwiches8665 For the most part and based on my life experience you are correct, muscular women don’t exist.
@@toomanysandwiches8665muscular women look good. What makes her makes her look masculine is the broad shoulders, square jaw and proportionally smaller head.
I will never ever understand the “let’s have women look and act better than men by having them look and act EXACTLY like men.”
Or at least what Hollywood this a man is.
And how you know it's really a blatant act of emasculating men and masculinity, is that they already had the female version of He-Man, her name is Shee-ra! Why not just reboot that and do all your LGBT+, feminist, gynocentric stuff with that show??
They hate real women. Real women are not strong warriors leading soldiers in battle. Real women are not even soldiers. They hate that women are not men. They therefore think that's it's righteous to transform women into men and they want to force everyone to watch their understanding of what's good, right and true. They don't get that they are sick and delusional.
Here’s an idea: having strong female characters without shitting all over the strong male characters
Swjs: 👁 👄 👁
"We don't do that here"
But how can Strong Female Character (TM) be Strong if the Oppressive Strong Male Character (TM) is stopping them from being Strong (TM)?
Also, having strong female characters who are actually female and not just men with ovaries.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That requires hard work.
How could Tomorrow War did this and He-F**king-Man not? A glorified B movie did this and a classic franchise not...

This is the reason I’m not excited they are making “New” Robotech.
Don't forget about Terminator
In my opiniom Jurassic park isnt ruined
Teela is drawn to look exactly like a dude. They might as well just have given her a few more muscles, blonde hair, and called her 'He Maam'.

“I think I know where this is going.”
*Tosses show in the trash.
Best description I saw of this show:
"Man dies.Woman most affected."
No joke, I suffered through a lecture in which the prof argued that the constant violence and wars in Africa were primarily a "feminist issue," because while the men were off fighting (and, ya know, dying,) the women were stuck at home having to farm. Literally, "Man dies, woman most affected."
Not surprised that Rotten Tomatoes gave it a nearly perfect score.

@@Wranuckl Let me get this right. Kevin Smith wrote something like no Girlfriend for Teela, no stepping aside from He-Man, it's "LITERALLY all about He-Man" and so on, but that's what happens in the first 5 episodes ? I mean the second part can surely fix this. In the end it was a fucking lie, unless you tell and prove to me that those tweets are fake/fotoshopped or something like that. Until then, even with the best series in the world, it sucks.
Not the Show tho, but the whole behaviour behind it. His reactions after lying and talking BS now doesn't make it better.
@@Wranuckl Maybe one day I will. My Problem is that I'm kinda part of those "my childhood is ruined" people, just not so extreme. I heard the Show is good, but I also heard that He-Man is "dead". I didn't care who got the lead at that moment. It could be even Man-At-Arms or Orko, would't change a thing for me. He-Man was the Main Character, so I wanted to see him ( especially with all those tweets before ). I would have other expectations if they were honest about that. Another Problem of mine is that they try to milk every kids show from back then ( and AGAIN, with stupid lies in this special case ) just to get Viewers. I didn't watch the new Digimon either. I read so many similar Comments like "we're no kids anymore, so we need more dark/serious topics in the Show". WHY ? The world is fucked up as it is, especially now. So why taking a kids show who spread joy, continue it decades later just to make it serious now ? If you really want that, have the balls and just make a whole new show and go dark as you want. But like I said, that's MY Problem. You guys may have other thoughts about it, which is also fine.
@@Wranuckl well that is a good way to see it. If you have interest in such stories you should look into the Injustice Comics. Seeing He-man with the Justice League was amazing ^^
The greatest warrior the planet has ever known falls during the planet's darkest hour.
Teela: And you kept his identity a secret from me?! Screw you, guys, I'm going home!
That's an hero! No, wait...
Our heroine ladies and gentlemen
Worst hero ever
Its called denying the call
I’m glad they splooged their propaganda in the first episode/season itself, instead of the second season, which is what they (Netflix, Amazon etc) usually do.
My favorite thing about Teela throwing a hissy fit and rage quitting because she wasn't let in on a secret:
Her reaction completely justifies Adam not telling her. All Adam has to say is "I didn't tell you because I knew you'd do this."
I was born in 1978 so He-Man, Voltron, Transformers, G.I.Joe, Robotech, and Thundercats is my childhood.
Girls complained about Barbie’s body type being nigh-unreasonable clearly never watched He-Man; it’s improbable for a man to look like He-Man without a lot of steroids!
A show where He-Man was more of a background character actually *could* work; he’s basically the Superman of Eternia and he always, always wins. The Masters of the Universe were never in any real danger when fighting against Zodiak’s Horde and Skeletor’s Masters of Darkness when He-Man could always show up to save them.
But this? This is Wokeness x1,000,000. The He-Man live-action movie was significantly better than this crap.
The truth is, and I know that there’s a lot of people that refuse to listen to this truth, is that there ARE numerous differences between men and women and no, you cannot do everything that I can do ‘better’ despite the song. The strongest woman in the world has a record bench press of about 400lbs. While that’s impressive and I freely admit that’s more than I can bench at 43 years old (what’s my max bench, you ask? How much does a box of Cheez-Itz weigh? I can bench two of those. Much power.) that’s barely the average bench press of a linebacker in the NFL. The record for a man, with an bench assist shirt, is over 1,000lbs; I forget the record for a man’s raw record bench but it’s over 700lbs. No woman on earth will *ever* be able to come close to that. Why? Because sexism, that’s why.
No, it’s because our bodies are created differently. Whether you believe in the Almighty as I do or if you believe in evolution, there’s a lot more differences between men and women than just sexual organs.
My point with this rant is that it’s okay to accept our differences and to even take a measure of pride in them. While motherhood seems to be less appreciated than ever before in today’s society a man can never know the joy and yes, the difficulties and trials, in conceiving a child inside of us, nurturing that baby over nine months, and then bringing that life into our world in the unbelievable honor and undeniable beauty (and pain) of childbirth. These things are worth celebrating.
We do not need more Wokeness crapping all over our childhood memories, and we don’t need more nonsense trying to homogenize the differences between men and women. It’s okay to be proud to be a man and it’s okay to be proud to be a woman.
I rant, I know, and I digress too often, but stop trying to destroy manhood and womanhood for the love of the Lord. This crap has gotten out of hand.
Bravo
I agree He-Man has the Superman problem, but I'm sure there are better ways of dealing with that than just writing out the main character from the entire "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" franchise.

Rotten Tomatoes critics would hate it, because men. XD
Imagine Catra picking up Adora's sword.
*No mercy in this dojo!*
Would never happen, because men can coexist with women in a show. "Strong Women"(tm) need to have men stripped out and hobbled, have faults and struggles vanish, and they are still angry with the world because they know they are fake.
I especially liked it when Teela went off at everyone in the throne room at the end of the first episode. You know, after Duncan is banished and has his life threatened by the King? Yeah, and then Teela decides to refuse an order, disrespect the Queen , talk down to all of them (you know, to the grieving parents and the rulers of the Land, one of whom just banished Duncan) and then just "walks away". And everyone just stands there. Ummm, just wow... she's so strong and so powerful that not even the Royals can do anything to her. So strong. She's untouchable.
Also the Queen knew Adam was He-man and said nothing until he died. Then no one calls her out for that just Man at Arms..
All the king had to do was sigh in misery at his lost son, and quietly, distractedly say was "Guards. Seize her. Off with her head."
Would have fixed the whole scene.
or after finding out that the two men she loved most in the world were the same man and now he is dead she breaks emotionally and lashes out like she always has? the king just blaming duncan because he is also lashing out in pain maybe? like humans do? acting how these characters have always acted?

I fucking hate that haircut. I used to think it was kinda cool when it was first a thing until it became a trend for manly lesbians.
There is nothing uglier and more repulsive than this half-shaved haircut. Any woman that would burden us with such a spectacle needs to be ostracized from life.
Ah yes, the "I got into a fight with a weed-eater" look.
I agree. This plus the East Germany Female Olympic Hammer Launcher plastic. Hell, even She-Ra was more sufferable in the previous rip-off.

And don´t forget, the toys were awesome. Still have a few He-Mans from 02 in my attic.
Yes! Going back to watch it now. Plenty of lore, treated the source material (a toy commercial, but so was star wars in the end) with respect and managed to just be a simple show about good vs evil, spared from gender and identity politics.
I was just rewatching it after hearing this show sucked balls.
Yes, indeed it was.
I honestly feel bad for the animators. This is quality artwork. Animation is hard, thankless, and hardly ever worth the amount of time, energy, and resources put into it. People don't go into animation to get rich. People do it because they want to create, people who are inspired and have an innate passion for their craft. And they will gravitate towards opportunities to share it.
When was the last time anyone who devoted their entire life to animation have their name highlighted in the opening credits of any work in media in which they placed a significant contribution? Their names are usually just shoved into the high-speed end credits after a second round of reminding the audience of the voice talents as if we all lined up for a radio broadcast.
That right there !
Wait, He-Man just dies and the show goes on without him? Seriously? I mean, I never even asked for this show, but I'm still disappointed.

So Teela, while informing two parents their only child is dead, throws a temper tantrum and makes it all about her hurt fee-fees. The perfect storyline for the age of woke narcissism we're living in. And BTW, Kevin Smith is a shameless liar.
art imitating life, for sure .... not that this should be considered, in anyway, a form of art.
Heck, the guy who paints with elephant poop has more claim on art
Kevin's is a white knight cuk.
Apparently they cut the scene after where she sobs on tik tok about being oppressed by the white men
There was a She-Ra episode, where Hordak got hit with a spell that would erase him from reality unless at least one soul sheds a tear for him. He ran around in panic, trying to get his minions to feel sad about him, but they were either indifferent or happy about him disappearing forever. In the end, the only person who actually cried for him was She-Ra herself because when she looked at Hordak, she saw a person who made so many bad choices that he pushed away anyone who would genuinely care about him, especially in his most vulnerable state. From her point of view it was a very miserable and lonely life to live, so she felt genuinely sorry for him. She never regretted that her empathy saved the life of her enemy because she was here to protect lives and took no pleasure in taking them away.
He-Man spoke a lot about empathy too, saving Skeletor's minions and villains from death because he believed that he is a guardian and protector, even if someone isn't on his side, it doesn't mean they have to die. It was implied that some of the He-Man's kindness left its imprint on Skeletor (that Chirstmas Special episode). So, empathy and support were a huge deal in both He-Man and The Masters of the Universe and She-Ra: The Princess of Power.
Now we have Teela who does...this, instead of trying to defuse the situation or support her father after his unfair treatment. And someone calls it a progress in writing strong female characters.
The weird thing is, kevin smith used to be so radically different. I tell some people from back in the day who liked clerks, and basically moved on with there lives and can give a shit less about the internet to check him out and get back to me, theyre literally like holy shit wtf happend to this guy. He used to just like idk, idk maybe it was something to with losing weight idk. I know alot of people who when they lost alot of weight there personality completely changed. I know the dude had a heart attack and i dont know the details idk, maybe that changed his life or how he acted, but man he used to be wayy more just like dark and based. I remember hearing him talking onetime in NYC to a fan, and he was saying so much derogatory messed up things it was rediculous, but this was the late 90s so i mean idk it was just so different. Its crazy to see how much people change. But yeah man anyone who remember how this guy used to be knows what i mean, he just used to say whatever he wanted and didnt seem held back in the slightest, now he seems overly kind and idk just idk maybe he became a christian or someshit who knows.
Fans: We want a He Man show.
Smith: Did you say a show that has He Man in it?
Fans: Uh, yeah.
Smith: Okay, here is a show with He Man in it.
Fans: But it seems to be mostly about Teela.
Smith: But He Man is in it.
Fans: What we wanted was a He Man show. You know, where the widely beloved icon is the focus.
Smith: he does stuff.
Fans: As a background character.
Smith: Shut up you just hate Teela and women.
Fans: We liked Teela before this…
Smith: Shut up my narrative is the true narrative.
I am not really a He Man fan but I still hate how corporations just love to piss on their audiences then just throw their money around buying other corporations. It be like if they made a Mulan show but killed her off and made Shang a arrogant douche. The irony is that the kind of people who like destroying male heroes would get very mad at that, when they have been doing it themselves for a while.
Is it weird that the only happy ending I can see in this, is Skeletor killing everyone and ruling with an iron fist?
Skeletor was literally the ONLY good thing about this show tbh, he's more threatening, competent AND he's got himself a lady by his side, not to mention Mark Hamil nailed it with his performance 👍
I'm glad he won. It means that this horrible show won't continue.

Rmemeber when Kevin Smith made wacky but grounded comedies about lower-middle class white people existing in this clown show we call the modern world? Pepperidge Farms Remembers.
@@edgardomartin8299 hes so edgy
MOTU Viewer: Hey, so why would Teela decide to abandon her post, her dream job, her army, her kingdom, two grieving parents, and disown her family just because she didn't know Adam was He-Man? Like, it's not a great place to be, but loads of ppl didn't know he was He-Man. Even his own dad. And the ones who did know, knew because the Sorceress told them back in the day, not Adam, and only so Adam would have guides and support while he bore the burden of being He-Man and keeping the secrets of Grayskull and the sword of power safe. All this seems like a bit of a wild reaction if I'm honest, and completely out of character for Teela, who was hot-headed and could be reckless in the old series, but never at the expense of her kingdom or friends. She was pragmatic, intelligent, and capable of dealing with unexpected revelations. Why is she now such an emotionally resentful and self-centred person?
Show: Don't know. But look how strong and female she is. And gay.
Viewer: Yeah, about that, how come you imply she's gay now, but do nothing with it in terms of the narrative or in developing her character. This kinda reminds me of Loki's throwaway bi-sexuality. You do less here than shows who first did this sort of thing more than a decade ago, like Korra and Xena. But these days, isn't this just cynical and lazy queerbaiting?
Show: Nope. It's (reads from cue card) diverse and inclusive.
Viewer: Hey, so this Andra girl is smart (except when she doesn't know anything about a massive war that happened a handful of years ago for some reason), brave, and pretty self-less. She seems to want to be a hero and help Eternia. This motivation would appear to put her wants and needs at complete odds with Teela's, who only cares about money and not being a hero. Why at no point during the series does that ever become a point of conflict as more and more people die and the mission becomes more dangerous?
Show: Don't know.
Viewer: Hey, so how did Teela manage to summon magical power she had no idea she possessed when fighting not-Skeletor in hell? What did she do to subdue him in his own house, and nab the sword? It seemed to be more than turning his game against him, and something awakened in her akin to the Sorceress' power. How did any of that work? Why did it seem so easy and convenient? Even the Sorceress can't do magic like that quite so easily. What gives?
Show: Don't know. But she's his worst nightmare now!
Viewer: (sighs...) she certainly is. So, if she's doing magic now, and she hates magic, shouldn't she have less of a gung-ho reaction to it? Shouldn't she be slightly disturbed at what this means? And why doesn't she, you know, just do it again and own not-Skeletor instead of letting Orko fucking die and blaming Evil-Lyn for it?
Show:
Viewer: Yea, I mean, like Evil-Lyn actually tries to save him but the fact she has no magic power left means she can't and... hold on a fucking minute here. They're in Subternia, where magic is somewhat plentiful, and Orko's even able to do some impressive shit and Teela herself is unlocking arse-pulled magical feats. Why the fuck is Evil-Lyn still so powerless? Shouldn't she be able to do something that doesn't rely solely on the orb of energy the Sorceress gave her? If she wants to save Orko, why couldn't she?
Show: But Orko has to die now and if Lyn and Teela can do magic then that can't happen the way we want it to. It's what we like to call "great writing that operates within the rules and internal logic of the fantasy show we've built and presented to you in order to let you suspend disbelief and understand the stakes and threat of any given fantastical situation."
Viewer:
Show: You're welcome.
Viewer: Hey, know how Teela's really fucking pissed at everyone because they never told her about Adam's secret magical power? How come when she unlocks her own secret magical power the first thing she does is not tell anyone and just keeps it completely to herself? Doesn't tell Andra. Doesn't even tell ADAM.
Show: Um... well you see... err...
Viewer: Hey, so why does Teela seem to mourn Roboto's death more than Adam's? Thinking about it, if he has all of Duncan's memories, wouldn't he also have known Adam was He-Man? Is she not pissed off at him as well?
Show: Because she's a complex and emotional creature, misogynist. And as for the Roboto knowing everything Duncan knows... yea, I guess Teela kinda forgot about that.
Viewer: Hey, so does Teela really not speak to her dad, Orko, Cringer, or Roboto after leaving the palace until the events of episode 3? She has no idea how sick Orko was or how they were doing? But wouldn't she have wanted answers about Adam and the secret once she calmed down and got herself together? Wouldn't she want to reconsider all her rash decisions before this point and reach out to her father to understand the truth that was hidden from her? Did she really just cut them all out of her life because they told her a lie? Like, completely and forever cut them out? Is Teela a psychopath?
Show: No, she's a strong woman now, and to be a strong woman, you simply need to be just like a man, but without the reason or accountability. And you need muscles.
Viewer: About the muscles...
Show: She's a warrior, you big chauvinist. Girl warriors have muscles.
Viewer: Okay... then why does Evil-Lyn have huge muscles? She's not a physical warrior. She's a mage who needs hired guns to do full-on fighting for her.
Show: Err...
Viewer: While we're at it, if all the magic's gone from Eternia except for wee scraps here and there, how is Evil-Lyn initially doing that disguise spell? And why is she being presented as some sort of spurned yet redeemable anti-hero rather than Skeletor's co-conspirator?
Show: Now you listen to us, boy. All women are inherently good. All men are liars, heretics, cheats, bad fathers, skeleton monsters, or DEAD. Keep up. You're just angry because you think we ruined He-Man.
Viewer: You didn't ruin him. How could you? He's not in it. You didn't ruin Skeletor either. Because he's also not in it - and it's probably for the best because I don't trust you to write for that supreme, meme machine, sassy bitch. You ruined Teela. You kinda ruined Man At Arms. The only one you didn't ruin was Orko and that's because you fucking killed him instead.
Show: I'm so glad we could subvert your expectations.

Im doing hero's work truly XD
I want to say I have never watched He-man so I appreciate all the context and shit they did wrong like this.
this deserves to be Pinned for the effort and its accuracy.
That universe deserves Skeletor as it’s absolute master.
I don't know what to feel anymore. Every franchise I ever loved has been burned beyond recognition. I grew up with He-man, my Dad showed me a lot of episodes from the first few seasons on an old website and we would watch them together, while he would tell me all of these things about it that I thought were the coolest things as a six year old boy who never really saw old cartoons at the time. To see someone who added to my teenage angst make this just hurts me. Everything hurts now.
Rotten Tomatoes: "... bound to please fans and newcomers alike"
Audience Score: 30% 😂😂😂
I thought it was freakin great. The first episode was like a series finale to the old 80's show. Then they dealt with the serious ramifications of an Eternia without He-man, an Eternia without magic and a weakened sorcerous. All the old characters from back in the day were still around and He-man's friends had to overcome some big obstacles without him. In the end Adam had to make yet another big sacrifice, proving himself to be Eternia's greatest champion.
I'm kind of surprised everyone hates it so much. I didn't actually expect it to be the show from the 80's, where each episode is some new plan by Skeletor that He-Man easily overcomes. I'm looking forward to part 2, where Skeletor holds the power and Eternia is still without its champion. I think it's safe to assume all of this is leading up to He-Man returning and saving the day in the end.
The only rating that is useful from Rotten Tomatoes is the fan rating. The critics are mostly paid shills now.

It's also quite convenient for a new author, totally ignorant of the previous stuff.
It's like Terminator: Dark fate of cartoons.
I mean, with Dark Fate. It is at least consistent that a Terminator movie would focus on Sarah Connor as that would did. It is like John Connor was the main character for 5 films and then they made it about his mom because feminism. Outside of Rise of the Machines/Salvation, she’s the main character anyway. Even the TV show was called the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
I liked all the terminators so I font get it
@@TheJadedJames lmao. This is the most insane take on terminator I've ever seen. John Connor was the savior of the human race in the Terminator universe. Sarah Connor has a major role in that. Her role is to have John, raise him, protect him and train him. John is the reason why the first movie even happened. He's the star of T2, T3, Salvation and several novels. The TV show was terrible, Genysis was ridiculous making him a Terminator and Dark Fate is an absolute abortion of the franchise sacrificed on the alter of woke Hollywood.
@@ChuckTownRC51 John was't even conceived yet in the original movie. A trilogy of movies with Linda Hamilton as the through line is totally reasonable. I don't even like Dark Fate. I'm just saying a Terminator movie where John Connor is barely involved =/= a Masters of the Universe thing that barely has He-Man. Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger are far more iconic to the Terminator brand than any version of JC. He's the device that gets those actors into the action.

For some reason it’s alright to do this to He-man and sideline him in his own show. But I bet you they wouldn’t dare to do this to someone like Wonder Woman and make Steve Trevor the main character.

@@nothajzl I agree, but why?
Wonder Woman did get away with raping an unwilling man in the last movie.
@@theflyingninja1 because of feminism, i assume (they want to establish their matriarchy). Reduce men to harmless creatures, make artificial sperm (or whatever), get s*x robots, turn women into lesbians (there’s no such thing as gay gene), tell that having babies harms the planet, get more and more women into work places. This way you will be sure that there will never be a patriarchy.
They’re basically turning women into men, giving them all manly attributes. You should see the problem with this even if you’re not, say, religious.
I’m not even tripping, this is the stuff they’re open about.
Yep. I always find it funny that in order to prop up women, the men have to be taken down. They’re incapable of having both happen at the same time. It’s always the same

Wikipedia: He-Man is a Guest Character
Is anybody really surprised at this point? They do this to every beloved franchise. Just wait until Amazon's Lord of the Rings show comes out. That is going to be a proper sh*tshow.
I'm already resigned to its impending shitness. I'm just happy we'll get a large volume of Drinker content as a result. If God gives you lemons...
Aye, and yet people continue to reward this behavior by watching it. Too many posts of people saying they watched it. Like the writing wasn't on the wall. But you gotta watch it first to make up your own mind they say. Well, that is what Netflix and Soy Smith are banking on. That you're stupid enough to watch it to make up your mind. Money for them in the bank! Stop giving money to people that hate you!
I can't wait! Just think of all of the minority check boxes that can be ticked. Frodo will be a girl with the obligatory side shave, Bilbo will be gay, Gandalf will be black, and every character will either be Black, Hispanic, Asian, gay or Trans. And if you don't tell everyone how great it is you'll be labelled racist or something. This truly is the very best entertainment!

Just like the Star Wars sequel trilogy, this will be regarded by fans as rubbish fan fiction, nothing more. He-Man began and ended in the 80s. Enough said.
What about the 2002 series? That was great!
Read the DC comics, they are pretty decent.
there was a nice show in the 90s set a few years in the future
@@PelinalDidNothingWrong yes I'd rather watch He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002 TV series)
I just had an epiphany. What if. . . what if what they are trying to do is obscure the past? They know this shit doesn't work. It's been proven time and time again. They aren't _complete_ idiots. These agenda driven attempts never succeed but what they do is that they become the most recent version of old franchises which could, in the long run, push the originals into irrelevance. I mean, 2-3 decades from now the average consumer won't know better unless we keep making noise.
So, they say there aren't enough positive male rolemodels. Then they remake He-Man and he's absent. Is that their idea of a positive male role model?
Lol, when they say that, they just want to slag off men.
I loved the finishing segment of the original show, where He-Man spoke about the issues explored in the episode. Sometimes they were silly, sometimes serious, but he always gave advice. How is that no positive? She-Ra did the same. The Silver Hawks were more focused on teaching kids about planets and whatnot. God, I miss those shows.
It's like Last Jedi where the only positive role model who is male is one who sacrifices himself and goes away so that the female star can shine. Batwoman has Bruce Wayne vanish for no reason
An absent male. He must be a black role model.
That's not very kind to us black males who are quite present, Mr. Barlow@@aaronbarlow4376
Well, at least we still have Darkwing Duck and the Rescue Rangers. I don't believe they've been desecrated yet.
Kevin Smith reminds me of some of my nerdy friends from the 90's who would do anything, not matter how shitty it would be, to be part of the group of cool kids at school.
There have been bigger hacks in Hollywood, but somehow Kevin Smith manages to be a tier below them.
I don't think it's hubris or ignorance to say that He-Man fans could've been the easiest demographic to impress ever. A dormant franchise with no relevancy whatsoever, a fan base with no actual hype for the show but have no high expectations either, with a reputation for being a simple, over-the-top, and fun animated series that you'd just let your kids watch until dinner. Whether you want to "reinvent" the show or keep it all the same, there's literally no way you can turn this into a net negative in quality.
But he did. Smith found a way to screw up fucking He-Man. He-Man, like the stupid but charming show for young boys, yeah he fucked it up. How? All you had to do is to remake fucking He-Man. Just write with the same fun and charming spirit while also making it somewhat palettable today.
Instead he decides to court the woke crowd, a group that doesn't even give two shits about He-Man, with contrived plot elements, heatless drama between characters, and an overall dull and forgettable story and expects a standing ovation? This isn't even coming from a person who particularly cared for He-Man, it's just... how did you manage to make this divisive?
I liked Dogma. But this attempt at He-man... this is ligma. Ligma balls.
@@wojak-sensei6424 I'm not closely following all of this cuz there's more important things in life then she-man. But do you think Smith had ¨carte blanche¨? I'm pretty sure an executive had a word to say. They probably did the cost benefit analysis and figured all 40 yo + heman fan will listen to it and keep on paying netflix no matter how shitty it i, so might as well bring the new generation with woke themes. To me they don't give a shit about fans, its the number of subscriber they have that counts. Kevin SMith even said so in a way. Keep on giving your money to those people and they will keep rebooting crap...
@@wrongspell6619 Not saying that Smith was the evil mastermind, but more of the boot-licking accomplice. Knowing Kevin's reputation as a willing shill just to get into the inner circles of the film industry, you can't fault me for concluding that this shit is an exhibition for him.
That said, this show doesn't deserve anyone's time. He-Man fans, casuals, the woke crowd, everyone. And that does require indifference towards the situation rather than scorn, but we gotta put some time into smacking some sense into this dude. Netflix didn't need him to do this shit, and he thinks he's so special to land this job that he's fighting fans on the internet about him not understanding He-Man of all things.
If he wants to be a pawn for the same people who's killing this industry, fine. But don't expect your hack friends to aid in your rescue, Smith. As the Drinker said, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
@@wrongspell6619 obviously you were born in the 80s and since there is more important things that sheman, tf are you doing in this comment section?
80’s Filmation He-Man: Prince Adam/He-Man protector of castle Greyskull and the strongest man in the universe!
2021 Netflix He-Man: Teela an angry-bitter-selfish-lesbian protector of woke agenda!
Surprised they call him He-Man at all. I was expecting them to change Prince Adam's alter ego to They-Person
lmao
They/Them-LivingBeing.
Because it's a character that's going to die? "They-Person" is the name of a character that gets to live.
🤣
That's good 🤣
Never trust critics....always trust the fans. Not Kevin Smith...the FANS!
*Actually, from your own opinion, not one based off TH-camrs, Critics, and definitely not "Fan Boys". Like what you want to like.*
Female empowerment in a nutshell: narcissism, anger issues, steroid abuse, edgy sidecut.
Now this is an underrated comment!

I fucking hate the sidecut.
Modern feminism=A bunch of unhappy, unattractive women trying to make happy, attractive women as unhappy and unattractive as they are.
@@pete3011 They want the "Power" of men, the benefits of women, and the responsibility of children.
"The show is literally all about he-man"
It will be...when it fits a Teela
Ah yes batwoman a truly garbage show

Very solid reference there. Very nice.
Yeah, top kek
@@therig0rous1 Which is, somehow, inexplicably, getting a THIRD season? WTF?
Ka-Ren and the Masters of Intersectionality. The quest begins by setting out to see the manager of Castle Greyskull and culminates in Ka-Ren becoming the new manager after saving Eternia from toxic masculinity and the cis white male patriarchy. He-Man is banished to the shadow realm of Despondos for diversity and inclusion training.
Shut it down boys, we have a winner. 🏆
@@MatthiasProspero Now we have Ma'am-at-Arms and new bestie, Reach-a-Round...
@@MalditosBares 🤣
You forgot the "anger management" therapy which all us males in this 'toxically masculine' patriarchy need. And here I was, literally crying over how Azula (Mostly evil Princess from Avatar The Last Airbender) needs help after she collapses mentally near the end of the series - I never would have thought I could get the stories of therapy from He Man cartoons. Thanks for enlightening me :)
I literally still don't know what "cis" is supposed to mean, or where the hell it came from!
Why does Adam look like a woman and Teela like a man?! Why is she more muscular than Skeletor?! WTF?! Why Skeletor suddenly worries about his looks and getting laid?! Show is horrendous!
It's weird because I watched Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981), and Marion, Indies love interest, was as tough as nails, but also used her feminine charm to elude her opponents. Which made her a great character...
Writing great female Characters ought to start with acknowledging the virtues of nurture, grace and care that Women are capable off in ways Men often aren't. Then you give them flaws to overcome like any other Good Character.
Let's take Chihiro from Spirited Away for example;
She starts of as a spoiled brat who is afraid of the unfamiliar. She learns to grow once she's tossed into a Spirit World filled with unfamiliar things. her strengths lie in her will to help others which flourishes even further once she learns to take responsibility. She then encounters a baby character who reflects who she used to be and helps them to mature from her experience to some extent.
Another example oddly from modern Disney of all people; Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon. She is a typical action heroine yet has a fatal flaw in her sense of trust which plays a crucial role in the story's message. the end of the world practically takes it toll all because she couldn't trust people and when everything goes wrong, she doesn't try to fix it, she takes out her anger on her rival. She learns her mistakes come the end of the movie.
A balance of Female Virtue can be obtained. It's just that modern Hollywood has been carried away by modernist agenda whilst ironically tossing aside that woman from Mandalorian.
We just need writers who know what their doing.
I found her to be loud-mouthed and obnoxious, especially in the snake pit.
She seemed kinda annoying and that voice wasnt helping.
All hail Clownfish TV for warning us!
Clownfish TV was right; Kevin Smith lied but is going to deny it with media backing him.
It feels like Star Wars all over again.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Terminator, Ghostbusters, Marvel, DC... I stopped giving them my money as soon as they started with the feminazi propaganda.
Yeah, a He-Man cartoon with nearly no He-Man in it……genius! How did this pass the pitch meeting?
