    **IMPORTANT!! Keep in mind this was only Part 1 and Part 2 will probably be Adam getting mended up and ultimately fighting SkeleGod! And PLZ PLZ no hate for LGBTQ in the comments! I've had to delete a few that were really hateful. I read online that Teela had a secret with a story arc for Teela being a lesbian with some evidence from the series (NOT that that's a bad thing at all... come on!) So I was sort of in the mindset this was true and I found it an odd move to take an established 80s Teela character to make her sexual preference an issue? Just because Teela is a strong woman and has a girlfriend doesn't make her gay of course, but I was unfortunately in the mindset that her being a lesbian was a fact and her love story would progress in part 2. AGAIN I have nothing but love for the LGBTQ community so I really hope my review was not taken the wrong way! Please no hate anyone! ❤️

      That's been the problem. Hate. I liked your review. Very fair. I loved Teela. And Evil-Lynn. They both looked jacked, but it didn't bug me. She's a warrior. But I see your point. My only real problem was how she was mad about Adams secret over him being dead and how Man -at Arms not helping. I'm 41, so if this was geared towards me then it worked. We got an epic battle and then something new. I'm okay with that. But, your review is the best I've seen so far.

      I also heard about Teela having a secret herself and later revealing she is part of the pride community but not in a direct way ..by saying no to marrying prince Adam in the end and going off with Andra to have adventures and quest around eternia.

    • @Believer1980
      @Believer1980 3 роки тому +30

      No you did not come across the wrong way, yes it is odd that Smith does seem to lean heavy into Teela's sexual preference and seem to change it, as some versions have Teela marry Adam/or King He-man and have a son.
      However it's in vogue to swap characters preference's in today's age if it is the right thing to do or not is not my place to say.
      Tbh you could also just take Teela and Andra's relationship as that of sisters, with Teela looking out for her "little sister".
      Whichever way it is meant to be, there is no call for hate for the LGBTQ community , we are all fans and human beings and that is all that should matter. 💗

    Teela's characterization was just ungodly awful. She went from a powerful beautiful female to a whiny, self serving sociopath. Everything is about me. You died for all of eternia but we're talking about ME here.
    This is about as unheroic and down right EVIL characterization I've ever seen.

    To me, the modern stereotypical "strong female character" is just as sexist as the old "damsel in distress" trope... and its a little weird that dudes still seem to be the ones creating these characters. Newsflash: you can have a female hero that's still feminine, guys... they don't have to be some idealized masculine, superpowered creature to be strong and compelling.

    • @avernion
      @avernion 3 роки тому +27

      Exactly! You don’t need to remove female characteristics for a female character to be awesome. Also! What their way of telling this story tells me is: they want to write about their idea of a strong female character, but has no faith she could pull off her own story without being dressed in the mantle taken from a man. This show insults in so many ways.

    I'm female, a He-Man fan, watched the originals when I was younger and I'm just as annoyed. Why does every female character have to be transformed into stroppy, jaded huge butch lesbians for them to be considered main character material? Can't we just have a properly written female character for once?
    I'm all for characters being explored and built upon, but changing the core fundamentals of a character to push an agenda rubs me up the wrong way. Pandering basically.

      And yes, 'the later.' When she whines about suffering the loss of her best friend, to her best friend who had to sacrifice his life to save everyone.
      Suppose it would have been fine if He Man's real identity was a nobody to Teela? The death of someone important to the Queen and King doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that Teela got hurt grieving for him.
      A character's right or wrong being determined by what hurts them and not others is what leads them do villainous things in good writing. Or give them a writer-approved protagonist-centred morality in bad writing and hope the audience doesn't notice.

    The most absurd aspect of the so-called "strong female characters" like Teela in this series, which we are seeing way too frequently as of late, is that they more often than not simply write into a female some of the terrible human traits that are being often finds in narcisisstic machos.
    Also, He-Man has always embodied a positive male role-model: sure, he's strong and buff, but also intelligent, kind-hearted, prone to sacrifice and to avoid using brute force unless strictly necessary. Maybe a too idealistic character, but a much better protagonist than a whiny egotistical person like 2021 Teela (while 80's Teela was still strong but also vety sympathetic).

      She's supposed to be military, but has no concept of operational security (secrets are meant to keep people safe), respecting the chain of command or discipline (let's yell at the king and queen who just lost their son).

      She is unbearable. Incredibly irritable, angry, and self-centered all the time with zero sympathy for anyone, which is how social justice writers show womyn are so powerful along with emasculating, marginalizing, or killing off all the male characters. I was surprised at how many similarities it had with the video game The Last of Us: Part II, particularly how they kill off so many of the key male characters and add an angry roidmonster psychopath female protagonist with almost no redeeming qualities to replace them.

      Yea I'm confused with the whole concept of making it a Teela show instead of a He-man show. Wasn't She-ra the female equivalent to He-man back in the day? And doesn't she already have a rebooted series? Are male characters from the 80s no longer allowed to have their own shows? lol I'm not even like mad about it, just confused. Then not killing him off once, but killing him off twice. I was confused when they even allowed him to raise the sword since it seems like they're trying to make Teela the main character. If you're trying to change the formula up at least commit to the idea, it just comes off as dumb at this point. Honestly, Evil-lyn had more character development than Teela did. I'd be more interested in an Evil-lyn series than this Teela one.

But... the timing, the fact she didn't give a crap about her father being banished (which would have maybe been a decent motivation to leave herself?) and just accused everyone, including grieving parents, of lying to HER... wow, what a petty, self-centered character.
      Also... did Kevin Smith just completely forget that 5 seconds before she pronounced EVERYONE liars they'd clearly established that the King didn't know? You think she'd... sympathize with him on that one? No, no. Everyone's a liar and has wronged her. This is a totally normal and completely not spoiled thing that normal people would do apparently.

      I think the main problem is Teela. The show basically fixes itself by changing her motivations to a deep shame and regret. She lashing out at the kings, fixed , she is angry at herself for falling in protecting Adam. She quitting being a knight, fixed, she doesn't feel worthy of the title anymore. Fighting evil He-man, fixed, no it is a manifestation of her regrets. Even the ending works as Adam is not just dying but it means Teela fails again at protecting him making true her worst fears.

So Netflix Revelation? Setting aside that Teela was the protagonist, the writing, story arc and characterisation are all middle of the road at best. When Laura said how she would have modernised the characters and fantasy style at the end of this video I couldn't agree more. I was also frustrated that with soooo many MoTU characters they introduce a new random to be Teela's companion.... and also in the scene where they are discussing how to save (no less than *cough*) all creation, you have sorceress, Teela, her friend (whose name I forget because she is entirely forgettable) and Evil Lynn.... Four women! sigh.... even if you don't want to see you can't. Overall I feel it is just a swing and a miss, and badly missed opportunity and mediocre story telling.

    • @JoshFisher567
      @JoshFisher567 3 роки тому

      Meh, I have to disagree. I liked it. Some people think it's a bait and switch but keeping it PG was probably a big priority, hence the lack of gore, which was never the theme of the show. That would of been a bigger change than what they did. Imagine He-Man slice and dice his way through enemies, covered in their blood all while making jokes about it. Would have turned out worse.
      It's obvious they where setting up Tela to be the next "champion " and will do so by defeating skelator. The whole "chip on her shoulder" kind of went away after the dark cave visit and fighting He-Man, who's really skelator. It allowed her to get past the lies
      Obviously the last episode was showing this by the prior "champions". It was to drill in the idea that He-Man was never one person and how the mantle was passed to new champions after one died. Killing the magic simply made it impossible to do so, so it had to be restored along with the sword.
      Personally I see the main demographic being men 35+ watching it with their kids, who never saw the original episodes. I in no way thinkt the lesbian angle was "forced". To me, it was to show how much Tela had changed fighting in battle's, willing to give her life without even knowing the truth. Also, while implied, it was never truly confirm, and showed Tela obviously still has feelings for the prince in the last episode. Seeing him killed, and knowing the truth this time is going to make her the next champion.
      As for the whole "woke" culture angle, it's stupid. Why do we let the people who wine and complain the most win? 3 people in Japan who had high level positions have stepped down. One for making a fat joke in 1994, the other for saying something slightly anti-Semitic in 1997. The other one was for something really stupid also. If you want to live in a world where something you said 25 to 30 years prior can make you lose almost everything overnight, that's fine but I don't.
      The whole thing with James Gunn being fired because someone found a deleted post from 10 to 15 years prior is the perfect example. Honestly, most of it's men who simply don't want to see a female lead complain the most. Grow up and stop being so offended by everything. It's ruinin:g comedy also.

    I had pumped up my son for this series so much. We watched the original Thundercats series together (he's 9), and it was so nostalgic, I had told him all about He-man. We even watched the 'so bad it's good (but not really)' live action Masters movie with Dolph Lundgren. So when this was announced we were pumped! The 1st 90% of the 1st episode really had me excited, He-man kicking ass and taking names as it should be. When he died my son was just like 'What!?', and spent the next 2 episodes convinced of his imminent return. Teela's temper tantrum about not knowing Prince Adam was He-man was reminiscent of my 15 year old daughter when her mom took her phone, very unbecoming. The potential to make this a new and instant classic was limitless, instead it is utter garbage. Possible Teela secret arc of her being a lesbian makes sense considering the trend of taking classic established characters/stories and twisting them into something unrecognizable, unwanted and unwatchable.

    It missed the target audience mark completely.
    Also, agree 100%, if they had called it "Teela" and the Masters of the Universe from the start most would not have had any issues at all... but to super hype the series and sale it as a new HE-MAN series was raising people up, just to knock them down again. Very weird way to go about it.
    I loved the show, but like you, was just thinking the whole way through this feels weird and very forced. And where the hell is He-Man?

    I think its funny that Adora can get a complete and respectful adaptation across 5 seasons fully exploring her at the center, her friendships and relationships, explicitly driving the plot with her actions, etc.
    He-Man can't even get 2 episodes in the spotlight without dying in both lmao and everybody knows why.

      That'd be fine if it was actually done well without assassinating what the original stories and characters were just to fill their voids with empty imitations and worse concepts. Most of the time it's either not interesting or not entertaining enough to warrant the changes.

      I actually liked that; that it's a beautiful castle underneath a terrifying "glamour" designed to scare off interlopers. In the original, it always disturbed me that such a hellish place (literally situated atop the Bottomless Pit fron the book of Revelation) was the fortress of the "good guys".

      Skeletor being actually strong - Amazing.

      Stackes beign HIGH - Amazing!
      Adam having TWO models instead of ONE - Amazing. I always screamed at the TV when in the old shows, Adam was like "Gee I hope He-man comes to save the day!"- and everyone is like "YEah!" Serious Clark Kent syndrome.
      I like that they made some nonsensical things make sense. And they didn't obliterate the AESTETICS like NEW SHE-RA did.
      Like, when Sorceress comes into the show i WAS CHILLS.
      That is what I remember. Sharp lines, feminine beauty . Everyone else was a mesh of random parts and lo and behold - its prefectly depicted.
      Shit like this can't be made today.
      See how western animation just went from super detailed to globs, blobs and liquids.
      Old Cartoon network vs new cartoon network.
