Thoughts?
It was pretty great seeing The Guy get The Girl, in a big way.
I'm curious what they're going to do with She-Ra (and what they're allowed do) especially in terms of acknowledging Dreamworks' version.

I found the promotion of a heterosexual romance in a Western cartoon to be quite problematic actually.
Yes, but nobody listens to you because you're made of straw, Mr. Strawman.
>unironically supporting “Queer Erasure: The Show”
/pol/‘s that way, I think you guys are lost.
>A guy liking a girl is queer-erasure
I like that the parody post is actually bi-erasure.
Adora fricks a guy at the start, the Outrage Wars escalate
>Adora fricks a guy at the start,
She's starting evil, so what kind of evil fricking are you predicting?
They carry him away in a bucket.
>She-Ra fans happy when She-Ra Gets The Girl
>Howls of outrage from /misc/Cinemaphile complaining there's never any Hetero couples
>He-Man gets his own girl
>Crickets
What if Lyn took Granamyr's bad dragon?
She does blush in e3 when Teela calls her Granamyr's nurse...
e2*
Wait she didn't?
"Implied" isn't good enough in 2024.
that's because nobody watched it
"People only care about He-Man when there's gay shit going on" proves the point.
>Just want to talk about He-Man
>She-Ra has made it so it always ends up being about sexuality
Let's talk about some motherfrickin He-Man. Whose your favourite? Mine is RioBlast because he's a goddamn robot cowboy with lasers.
...Well frick, of the supporting cast mine is Rio Blast because he's a motherfricking cowboy with lasers. He makes the likes of Mekaneck look like shit.
I actually really liked Mekanek in the 200x series. His big ass glasses and "stretchy" neck felt like they were going for an Plasticman vibes, and there was an episode where he was depressed about his powers being stupid. And they turned him into a snake and gave him a snake neck.
200x suffered bigtime from forgetting character growth.
I did like that they at least had an episode where he went "wow, so all I can do is stretch my neck? Man, I really got Ram-Man-ed when they were handing out powers..."
RioBlast is the best Master of the Universe I never knew existed.
He-Man has so many cool as frick characters that they never use because all they want to do is push the same dozen frickers and all the fans want to buy is a dozen variants of the same frickers
>Rio Blast, a cowboy with lasers all over himself
>Saurod, a lizard man that spits fricking lightning
>Sy-klone, a human tornado
>Mosquitor, a blood pumping and possibly cyborg insect man
>Dragstor, a human hotrod
>Blast-Attak, a guy who even when he's not a literal bomb still has the power to blast his body parts apart to punch and kick multiple enemies at once
>Extendar, a knight that gets fricking HUGE with extending arms, legs, torso and neck. Suck it, Mekaneck
>Modulok, can rearrange his body parts and add extra ones so he's like something Herbert West cooked up in his lab
>Strongarm, he's kinda like Fisto, but his entire arm is over sized and mechanical and can stretch plus he has a cool mask
No, I don't want to see more episodes of Teela and Duncan fighting Evil-lyn and Beast Man or buy more toys or them. Make some of the actual cool shit you gays are sleeping on
I'm extremely fricking pissed Mattel started the Filmation Collection toys and will only sell vintage characters like this on their fricking expensive website one at a time. I bet scalpers will just buy them all before I get a chance anyways.
Stonedar and Roboto were my favourites as a kid and the meteorbs
Yep. People will endlessly shit on He-Man for being a "toy commercial" but the fact is the toyline was so massively popular because they filled it with all these similar yet unique looking characters. They were constantly putting out new He-Man characters in the 80s, each with crazy designs and wild gimmicks in an attempt to get every one of those figures sold. And yeah, it's kind of a shame they don't really utilize the massive cast of characters they have available to them.
all the soul and value of He-Man is from all the figures that were created. Kids were supposed to play with the figures, the cartoon was non-sense
Buy a fricking ad Kevin.
I feel like this shot is a good payoff from everything that happened from the start of Revelations to now. Everyone’s upgraded, more powerful than ever while Skeletor is permanently(?) defeated
Current Year creates fake fans not really interested in the things they profess to love.
The Algorithm pushes engagement, and rage gets people to engage. Simple as that. Its not like anti-fan toxicity hasn't been a thing forever, and its not like the marketing chodes don't actively push this shit because they'd rather people be aware of a product via ragebait than not be aware its even a thing.

It nicely encapsulated how absurd things have gotten.
You can have a picture that looks like a Love Letter to the original series and there'll be someone there to screech "Onions" because they never gave a damn about the original series anyway.
>haha He-Man looks fruity
Yeah, never heard that one before.

This is why I fundamentally hate what they've done with Teela's "destiny."
She was the tomboy knight-girl in the original, and now she's Sorceress because her mom was. It's like saying He-Man should hang up the sword and become an astronaut.
I like Sorceress Teela because it's character growth,
Character growth that robs of us a sexy warrior-woman is not good character growth.
That made SOME sense, even if it made people rage. You can't be the guy that runs off to Medusa Mountain to find the cure to the Gorgon Plague turning everyone to stone, AND be the guy on the throne trying to manage the fallout and keep things from getting worse. He COULD just delegate the job a lot, but it makes about as much sense as just getting someone else to do the job entirely.
If you want sexy warrior Teela just re-watch the 80's series. Or better yet, get a girlfriend.
>Go re-watch the 80s
But I want good new stuff with her in that mold, not something that keeps everyone else mostly true to themselves while turning her into something very different.
>Extremely mild criticism of modern revamps
>"The original is still there, get a girlfriend"
Every time.
Or like saying He-Man can't be King and Champion at the same time OH WAIT
Anon He-Man becomes an astronaut. He gets blue pants.
We Do Not Speak Of This.

This set American acceptance of anime back a decade.
Voltron , Robotech/Macross, Tranzor Z, Transformers the Movie, GI Joe the Movie.... all Japanese Anime.
Aye, and there would have been many more that were imported, if not for New Adventures!
No, Akira came to US Theaters in 1989, He-Man Adventures came out in 1990. Bootleg copies of the Macross Movie(much or less the Rootech Movie) then came to our shores. Teens were starting to realize our old cartoons like Voltron and Tranformers the Movie were Anime. The popularity of the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis had games that were mostly Japanese developed, and most were basically Anime in video game format. He-Man never set back Anime.
And there would have been many more that were imported, if not for New Adventures!
With the popularity of Anime surging from the Japanese Video Game market, and the Pokemon franchise including the games , cards, and US Translated Anime/US TV Cartoon in 1998, the He-Man franchise should have chosen Japanese Animators.
2002 He-Man didn't have Japanese Animators, yet the trend of Anime was climbing from the 1998 Pokemon,
2002 He-Man was a failure in every respect tho.
Not visually.
Oh and Dragon Ball Z came out in the US in 1996, 2 Years before Pokemon! There were many US kids who new Goku before Pikachu. Yes 1996, 6 years after the 1990 He-Man Adventures came out!
I wish NA He-Man lookee as cool as anime in terms of design... Its just a dude with a rat tail and blue pants I don't get it
Lookee? he's from She-Ra
I can't believe I did that
lookee doesn't have blue pants.
Also in 1990 , the video game Street Fighter II was released. HA DOU KEN and SHO RYU KEN. These words were repeated so much it's now elementary Japanese in the US.Street Fighter II is very much an Anime Fighter
As bad as He-Man Adventures was in 1990, it did not do anything to hold back Anime in America. Anime was already here.
But it would've been here MORE if not for Adventures!
how when 1989 Akira was released? All the normies had no clue 1990 He-Man had Japanese Animation. You have no evidence or to prove New Adventures did anything to Anime.
What's your proof? Sounds like you didn't grow up in the 90s at all.
there is no proof.New Adventures was simply irrelevant. The few thousands of kids who did watch it didn't even know what Anime is.
Panthor is probably in Subternia, RIP.
All cats go to heaven.
Not all robots though.
I'm hoping Dreamworks, Netflix, and Mattel work out a deal to share movie rights and ability to make more animation.
Hannibal Lector didn't have to listen to Beef Mountain and his Amazon Girlfriend fricking next door.
They're going to make enough noise you'd hear them on Snake Mountain.
I hope in the sequel Skeletor is treated like Hannibal Lector in the Greyskull basement
Revolution was mainly about Skeletor and that kinda made it better than Revelation 1&2
It helped that it was a Skeletor voiced by not one but two God-Tier voice actors.
Honestly, the weirdest shit that Skeletor is being voiced by both Luke Skywalker and Captain Kirk.
