Also hopefully a 2nd season where it is centered around heman and hos friends
Talked with my brother about this show. He got all my toys handed down and was pumped for it. If hes right, and this actually got said in the show, never has a more magnificent self troll/point proving line ever happened.
So he tells me that Skeletor says call your champion, right. Then Teela shows up, gets promptly put on her ass, and then the chefs kiss is delivered.
"Youre not the champion. Youre just his cheerleader."
Lmmfgdao if thats true, because they went with his cheerleader as the main AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING WITH THAT LINE THAT THEY KNOW TEELA WASNT SHIT.

So for people having no idea what MoTU is, sure.
But Kevin Smith damn well knew his target audience was fans of the original, and instead of delivering the goods, he laid a turd and mained his story with a reknowned sidekick character instead.
As a kid and an adult I never referred to the cartoon or the 1987 movie as Masters of the Universe it was always He-Man [Reply]

Same. Even the show was heman and the masters of the universe. That said I won't get upset unless the 2nd half is hardly heman/prince Adam. That said they are telling a story with actual stakes too. I won't be able to convince anyone to watch it that's upset but I'd atleast see what's said when the season is complete. Thing is I don't know when the second half starts... [Reply]
I listened to this, the Fatman Beyond podcast is actually the only Kevin Smith-related thing I follow. He let quite a few spoilers slip for episodes 6-10, mainly trying to answer all the criticism of the first half of the show.
Spoiler!
Episode 7 features a 7-minute He-Man vs Skeletor fight scene that he compared to the fight scenes in Invincible. Orko is coming back, which they likened to the return of Gandalf. They're going to pick up the plot thread from the old cartoon of Teela being the Sorceress's daughter. And finally that there will be a season 2, to be released in 2023.

I caught some of it, and I seems like Netflix has caused a lot of this shit. Smith said that these episodes are all one large episode, and that he wasnt aware they all werent being released at once.
He said it made for a nice cliffhanger, whatever that means, but there would be a lot less pissed off people if they were all released at once and you could get the whole story instead of just a piece of it.
I still think its monumentally stupid to have your main draw for the show absent for at least half of your story you are telling, but if you stick the landing, ill give credit where its due.
Having your main draw absent for half of the story, and then Netflix making everyone wait to see the rest, that's absolutely crippling.
Like how many are just not gonna give a shit and not see the rest? [Reply]
I watched the first couple episodes and didn't love it, but He-Man was definitely a fair bit before my time. I watched some reruns on the 90s and that's about as far as I've gone with the show so most of these characters mean nothing to me.
I'll probably finish it because the episodes are short and it's easy to get through. It definitely hasn't piqued my interest just yet, though. [Reply]
