I'm not thrilled with the "raised on Earth" twist, but it does look good. I can't believe they found a way to give him the pink shirt!

Raised on Earth here made sense to me.

And they're really trying to get the Comic Con fanbase behind it by making him one too, I think.

Nope. He-Man's MOTHER was an astronaut from Earth who crash landed on Eternia and married King Randor. Adam never saw Earth until the terrible "NEW Adventures of He-Man."

I'm skeptical but we'll see. He-Man was kind of near and dear to my childhood. This looks like The Barbie Movie for dudes.

Yea I am skeptical as well.

I never even watched He-Man, which for me was odd as most of those things I enjoyed. I don't know why. I think the idea of a muscular skeleton dude put me off. I mean the one thing you don't have when you are a skeleton is muscle right? I seriously couldn't get past it LOL.

And yes I know EXACTLY how stupid that is!

It looks incredibly good to me. Especially as an origin story for the new and the old.

A hundred times closer to the cartoons than the Dolph Lundgren version, imo.

He-Man in the original cartoon was always cheek in tongue, especially with Skeletor, his quips and shenanigans. He's a proper meme superstar. Only later iterations tried to make it serious which didn't really hit as audiences still gravitated towards the eighties version as the definitive version.

That's funny but there is a whole backstory to Skeletor, a few versions even. But it's a muscular guy with a skeleton for a head and magical powers, it's just kids fun! Smile


It's a kids cartoon as opposed to Anime nowadays, geared more towards adult.
Especially the eighties version, it was campy in the best kinda way!
He-Man and Prince Adam look exactly the same except for the tan! Smile

I'm also worried about whether Skeletor will be funny enough. Skeletor and the cat from Sabrina are the masters of sarcasm. I also worry because they did the whole "they're on Earth now" bit in the Dolph Lundgren one.
I'm not saying it won't still be awesome. I just have some concerns.

"The Barbie Movie" turned out to be a surprise hit! Let's HOPE this is "The Barbie Movie" for dudes!
