every reboot and rehash of original shit is boring. because Hollywood has no originality anymore.
Shit taste
Don't care Teela a cute
First few episodes bore me because they're like setting up the world. I'd say after maybe Sky War the series starts picking up. Season 2 is really solid. A real shame they never got to do season 3 because the Horde stuff would have been interesting.
to be fair... the Filmation series was their benchmark at that point
The incompetence of the early millenia towards action cartoons, also we're spoiled by how good anime could get
Was there anything before motorcity that looked good?genuine question I'm not being smug and I restarted watching cartoons from anime after 2010
The DCAU in general, Samurai Jack. Even compared to stuff like TMNT 2003 I think He-Man 2002 pales. It's just a dull show.
There's probably nothing I can recommend to you because I think everything after 2010 starts looking ugly. Like people will post webms of stuff like Rise of the TMNT and say LOOK HOW AMAZING THIS LOOKS and then I see the character designs and they look like shit.
They refer to animation. Designs are...what they are but motion is pretty fantastic. I've never seen anyone saying that designs are amazing.
As for good looking shows....Dragon Prince and Arcane?
Problem is that action cartoons are dying breed. Even hero cartoons with good animation like Rise of TMNT, Ben 10 Omniverse or DC Super Hero Girls (2019) are designed as silly comedy first.

Always have been, really. Or at least rare.
Because they were trying their hardest to ape Filmation. The writing often felt like deliberate throwback to olden days. (only with less camp) Whenever show was doing its own style, it was genuinely cool I'd say it had potental and deserved more.
The writing wasn't anything like the Filmation show. The only thing they took from Filmation was some of the series canon for inspiration because they brought in the guy that runs he-man.org to basically help them write their series bible. The end result was something that was faithful to He-Man while also being its own take on He-Man. I remember, at least at the time, a lot of fans really enjoyed it. I think the main criticism was the art design.
There were literally episodes written by the same people as original. We had "Adam wants to prove himself and gets captured as bait for He-Man" episode. We had "Orko runs away and Sorceress convinces him to stay episode". We had plenty for Orko humor, Adam doing his generic secret identity shtick and episodes that were resorved by He-Man doing ridicuously OP moves. Villains were bumbling idiots except Evil-Lyn. There were lessons every day, except that this time they were learned by Masters and not by random kid of a week.
I definitely would not compare it to your usual Holywood rehash reboot because that would imply that Filmation was some kind of great story that can't be improved. If anything, 2002 show had better focus on toy characters - aka the actually interesting part rather than making He-Man fight generic wizards and warriors every other episode and reducing every heroic warrior that isn't Teela, Orko and Man-At-Arms to glorified cameos. 2002 used Filmation as building block and from there created refined world where toyline characters actually look like they fit in.

I agree with this. I still don't think it's a very good show, though. I don't think MOTU has ever had a good show. I love MOTU so I wish it did.
You’re probably just a boomer who seethes over every new MOTU media.
Nah. I like the Filmation show even less. 2002 just strikes me as a massive waste of an opportunity.
What is going on here?
Artstyle. This is a common problem with Mattel, which I have yet to see a show from them with interesting artstyle.
