  • The Barbie movie could very well herald in a new era of toys to movie adaptations. But it is far from Mattels first attempt as there first swing was 1987's Masters Of The Universe featuring Dolph Lundgren as the titual He-Man. Opening with Skeletor now in posession of Castle Grayskull things have never looked worse for Eternia which is the perfect time He-Man and friends to take a trip to New Jersey. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review!

      They have uniquely good chemistry. Many channels that feature a duo or a group don't really have that "these people are actually friends" feeling. Like with the Mythbusters, you could tell that they had fun working together in a professional capacity, but you could also tell that Jamie thought Adam was irritating as hell, and Adam thought Jamie had a stick up his ass, so they could never be friends off camera. Mason and James by contrast come across like old friends.

    Something pretty cool about the Masters of the Universe movie is that in the Neutral Spanish dub all of the actors from the He-Man cartoon reprised their roles. Sadly, He-Man's original Mexican dub actor, Rubén Moya, passed away just a month ago, he actually was in his early sixties so his passing was very sudden as he was stile very active. His voice was so iconic that he even appeard as himself in some commercials for the Masters of the Universe collector's line. He will always be remembered

    Here’s some trivia for you: My uncle was an animator on the cartoon and he’s colorblind and had to use a key so that he would color things the right way because sometimes he would color them wrong. So if you’re watching the show and you see some incorrect colors, it might be his fault. I know he colored some things wrong because he told me, but I don’t know if those mistakes made it through production.

    You guys are spot on, the studio waited too late to make this film. It was in production during the tail end of the success of the toy line and was released when Masters of the Universe was no longer the must have toy. Also, ill fated Cannon was the wrong studio to entrust with making this movie. I think they ran into license issues which would explain why the character designs used in the film are not the same as those featured in the cartoon produced by Filmation. I enjoyed this film when I was a kid however I was also disappointed that nothing looked the way it did in the cartoon. For as bad as this movie is it introduced me to Courtney Cox who I instantly fell in love with. I still have a crush on her but man was she hot in the 1980s and 1990s.

    Fun fact: Karg (the guy with the lizard face and big hair) never actually got a toy in the vintage line and because of that, he was caught up in a mess of rights (Mattel doesn't own the rights to anything from the Filmation produced cartoons or this movie if it didn't get a toy or appear in some sort of Mattel owned media), preventing him from getting an action figure until Mattel licensed the MOTU brand to Super7 and they found a loophole that allowed them to produce a toy based on his appearance in like one panel of a newspaper strip that was only ever released in France or something like that. They then later struck a deal with William Stout that allowed them to make toys based on his concept art for the film, which resulted in them making a film accurate version of Karg (in addition to He-Man and Skeletor's two costumes). More recently, though, Mattel has just straight up either paid a licensing fee or bought back the rights and have been making toys based on this movie (so far they've done He-Man and Skeletor and they just announced a toy based on Evil-Lyn like yesterday).

    Up until Masters of the Universe and Superman IV, Canon's business model centered around producing dozens of very low budget movies a year in the hopes that one or two of them would be a hit, which would then pay for all the others that weren't. Masters of the Universe represented a deviation from that model and an attempt to transition the studio from one that produced forgettable schlock to a more serious and respected company that produced big blockbusters. Co-owner of Canon, Menagem Golan, described these early movies as "seeds" meant to grow the company to this point. This analogy is why the Masters of the Universe was given the working title, Blue Harvest.

    Kevin Smith's Woke He-Man is possibly the best He-Man property I've ever seen. It goes way deeper into the motivations of the characters than it would ever need to, and manages to even make Orko into a badass.

    • @ScooterinAB
      @ScooterinAB 11 місяців тому +5

      I wouldn't say it goes way deeper into character motivation. What I would say is that it introduces character motivation into a toy commercial where there previously wasn't any. It's kind of the perfect example (both good and bad) of how to take something people loved when they were 6 and then grow it up for them as adults. Everyone says they just wanted the Filmation cartoon, but if that's what it was, everyone would have hated it. It took the characters we knew, aped the camp from the series, and then gave us a story that we can appreciate as adults. As with everything else, once you remove the weird men who complain about girls all the time, the show is pretty decent.

    The fact that I found out that Dolph Lundgren has a master's degree in chemical engineering when they just casually drop that nugget during Expendables 2 is astounding.
    To be honest about Kevin Smith's He-man, it had some interesting story elements to it, and the show's animation and production felt pretty good. It's just that there were some choices that felt... confusing and as a result of not-so-great writing. For instance, the trope that the side-character finds out the main character is "The Special", and has been all along; and when they find out, they feel betrayed and lied to. At least they didn't pull an Amber from Invincible...

    I actually really liked Woke Herman. That's a typo but I'm keeping it. Knowing it was pissing off children in their forties and fifties made me enjoy it even more.
    I actually have a huge soft spot for this live action He-Man as well. Langella chewing up the scenery is a joy to behold. He makes a fantastic Skellingtor.
    Though, interesting tidbit I think you guys missed. I think I heard this mentioned by one of the writers, maybe. But, originally they were going to include an extended opening scene of Skeletors conquest of Eternia, featuring Faker, the Evil He-Man duplicate.
    In keeping with it being toy line based rather than show based, Faker was going to be a robot. First of the prototypes of Skeletors robotic army that eventually made the seige and seizure of castle greyskull possible in the first place.
    Faker himself, themself maybe, had done what a lot of 80s robots do and had gone all Johnny five. Self awareness, growing unhappy with serving an evil skull faced dude. So, the opening was going to focus on Faker reflecting on the mistakes he'd made, in serving Skeletor. And how he'd gone into hiding or self imposed exile from Snake Mountain to just working a farm in some back end corner of Eternia. Also tied in nicely to that whole star wars similarity.
    So, we'd follow Faker, played by Dolph again obviously, just farming. Around him we'd see Eternian life, references to the weirder parts of the Lore in passing as rumours began to spread of Skeletors armies rising up to enslave, destroy and make their final attack on Castle Greyskull.
    Faker ignores what's going on. I forget why, maybe it wasn't fully fleshed out, I don't know, but basically he ends up staring down the barrel of one of their storm trooper energy guns.
    Faker gets shot, blown to pieces. And he's smashed all over the floor, shiny blue skin all on display. Apparently it didn't test well with people and the studio didn't like it, it was going to be way too expensive. But the write wanted to have a shot in the trailers of He-Man getting shit an apparently killed. Just to mess with people.
    Though, that never ended up happening sadly. No blue skinned android He-Man trend farmer. Though, that is probably where the working title of the film came from. Blue Harvest.
