Ah yes. The modern audience. The euphemism used for ignoring much loved established story and lore that existed previously, and were going to ignore every last bit of it.
Which is always funny because if they were fans of what you're doing then they watch it. Soooo......there are no fans. At least not for what they're doing.
With He-Man, there are only two viable paths to go. Either a child-friendly cartoon. Or go full Heavy Metal with it, in both tone and soundtrack. Keep the noble heroes in all their righteous fury and noble actions, but make the villains competent this time, make the women hot, and don't be afraid to have the heroes cut down monsters and robots. Finally, let He-Man finally tap into the full power of Greyskull from the 80s story bible, which means he can summon weapons and armor like Neo from the Matrix.
@@Code7Unltd Simple, if it's Metal, parents will doubt the the kid friendliness. If it's kid friendly, but metal in tone, the metalheads and 80s kids that would watch might be disappointed how diluted it had to be to wind up kid friendly.

8:36 Skeletor occupied Snake Mountain. Just sayin 😉. Also the 2002 series on CN is probably the best overall interpretation of MOTU we've had balancing fun and seriousness. Naturally it was cancelled because CN executives are idiots.
Young Justice died for the same reason. I only found out Young Justice had toys (that I may have bought) because the series was being canceled "because the toys didn’t sell".
It was cancelled because it was a series of 39, very expensive-to-make, half-hour commercials for a bunch of toys that didn't sell. If you're going to sink the amount of money it takes to make two seasons of a network/cable animated TV series with the quality of animation and art in the 2002 He-man show, it darn well better make money selling toys, because you can bet that AD REVENUE of a niche-market cable network (where 75% of every ad-break is only advertising other CN shows) isn't going to cover the cost of production. That's why Cartoon Network prefers shows like Teen Titans Go! that two interns can animate in an afternoon. This was also the problem that led to the cancellation of other cool shows like Young Justice and the Thundercats reboot. Part of that is because the target audience for the show (8-10 year old boys) play video games now, not with toys - so, even if the show garners an audience, it isn't likely to sell toys (and thus, recoup the money it cost to make the show) - part of that is because a significant portion of the US population didn't have access to Cartoon Network, and so they never SAW it - and, of the ones who could, they were playing Smash Bros. or Halo or something instead of watching cartoons based on something their DADS liked. The only "idiotic" thing was green-lighting the series in the first place on the expectation that a business model developed in the early-80s (back when boys still played with toys) would still work twenty years after Nintendo killed the toy market so hard KayBees and Toy R Us had both gone bankrupt.
@@liljenborg2517 to be fair, the toys could've sold a bit better if the company behind them wasn't lead by idiots. They made like 50 different versions of He-Man and Skeletor, some of which were only on screen for 2 minutes in one episode while others weren't even in the show at all. And while those two characters are probably the most popular of them, their regular versions probably sold the best out of the bunch. Really, who the frick needs more than one of each? On the other side they skipped a lot of the characters, that people actually wanted for yet another He-Man and Skeletor. If they were smart they would've made only one version of them and produce more if they ever sold out and use the freed slots of the following lineups to make more characters from the show. And while you are 100% right about kids not playing with toys anymore in the early 2000's, that way they'd at least have sold more to the adult collectors.
@xenomorphphantom8852 Not sure what happened to your comment, but I do remember that. I had high hopes for that show, because it was eventually supposed to link up w/ SilverHawks & Tiger Sharks, in a shared universe. But, like all good things on CN, it got dropped, & we got 🤦♂️ "ThunderCats Roar!" Which threatened to make a version of SilverHawks worse than itself!
As bad as the old He-Man movie was it wanted to be He-Man. It just had zero budget, so it had to be set in a normal world. At least it tried to be He-Man as much as money allowed. I'm not looking forward to this new He-Man movie, because it seems to want to be its story and not He-Man. Like everything else now days it is all about them and not the IP.
Every single damn time: Old and beloved franchise gets abused by incompetents for "modern audience" (money laundering and shareholders), then they shriek "incel" as the movie flops hard while the franchise chrashes and burns to the ground and sinks into the oblivion.
They make movies for the people that DON’T know the source material NOT the fans. You know those people who MADE the product famous! Ever since the first X-Men movies that been the attitude of studios with exception of Pre-Disney Marvel studios. Now fans are bad for not buying the crap they try to package as SW, Marvel, DC, He-Man, Transformers and soon Voltron. Smdh
Kevin smith backstabbed Heman, turned Teela into an insufferable lesbian girlboss, and when we did see Heman he had to appologise for existing! Oh, and we also replaced Skeletor with Evil-Lyn. Now, we get tortured anxt ridden heman? Honestly! Is there any male character whom modern remakes won't humiliate and destroy? Hay Hollywood, how about you really "subvert expectations!" and give us a strong, heroic man who saves the day with a message of hope? Oh sorry, I forgot, Blackrock wouldn't like that!
I call it "The Coke II Effect" -- You change something that people have loved for years, or decades, or even generations, the customers are going to complain. Simple as that. Before they even announced any of the cast, the studio mentioned that Prince Adam would be stranded on Earth for ten years, and that's where they lost me.
@marcogenovesi8570 I hear you man. It's sad the lack of ideas. This could have been anything else but He-man considering it's set on earth with an office guy. Sounds like me on a Thursday.
@@OmarBhoo It's not lack of ideas, it's suits fearing new ideas too much and will not approve the budget for movies with new ideas. So whoever wants to make a movie has to dress up their idea as an existing IP so the suits approve the budget. the last Joker is a great example of that, he had to smuggle his movie about a man's struggles as Joker to get it done. Then he was so spiteful towards the suits that after they nagged him so much to make a second movie he made it terrible on purpose to make them lose money. This was an issue in the past too, but it's getting worse and worse, we are reaching a point of complete freeze.
I HAVE THE POWER.... to not watch this drivel. Ya lost me at 'quite different from the source material'. I can already tell that this is going to be a woke as hell shitstorm where people who hate the audience and deliberately make it vindictively obvious that this is yet another agenda driven pile of shit are in charge of ruining it as hard as they can. I'm good, I'll keep my money, my clicks, and my time, thanks. I refuse to give them a penny or watch 1 second of the new show, and I don't consider the new show to be canon in any way shape or form. #boycot
Like with any major overhaul, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle as you alienate much of the traditional fans and attempt to draw in a new one. That's usually why the end result is a dumpster fire. You made something that wasn't what the IP represented in an attempt to push a product to a completely different audience, yet thought the traditional one would still show up. The only time that this sort of worked as far as I know was for the Yakuza: Like A Dragon video games. Amazon tried to do it for the tv show and it failed horribly.
He Man: Duncan, I bought the ENTIRE set of He Man action figures. Skeletor has so many ACTION FEATURES! WOO HOO! Man At Arms: Sorry for donating your previous collection to the Eternia Pawn Shop. Thought you outgrew playing with kids toys. He Man: You know how much COLLECTIBLES are WORTH nowdays?
Literally just got HatMotU on dvd for Christmas, and my 5yo son and 3yo daughter are now old enough for ethics, morals, virtues, and learning what bad people look like and act like. They will need the practice: the world will be testing them plenty. Now this. Oh well, I have the original.
No one ever talks about the 1990's version of He-Man, "The New Adventures of He-Man". It didn't last long, only had one season. But, as a kid, I enjoyed it. Not as much as growing up in the 80's and watching actual He-Man, but it was enjoyable to me.
If CHANGE didn't usually mean...FOR THE WORSE...less people would be apprehensive...but too often when things change...they are not improving only deteriorating.
I was just too young for the original, but the 2002 version was genuinely good. And it nailed the formula for an 'adaptations;' keep the spirit of the original, smooth out any story-inconsistencies, and give the story more of an edge. Too bad the movie (assuming the rumors are true) won't be anything like that...
The MotU mini comics were some of my earliest sources of reading material. I would love an animation of the OG stories. Yeah, some of the canon was contradictory, but that was a result of too many cooks in the kitchen.
I was a kid when He-Man first showed up on TV. It's really weird to me now that it's considered "classic". Even as dumb kids we all knew it was a cheaply made toy commercial. The only funny part of the show was that nobody could figure out the only guy on the planet who had a jacked physique and a blonde mullet was really He-Man.
9:42 1 more thing about the 2002 reboot. They kept the after credit segments for it which I find endearing. In 2002 they didn't had to do it after all by that paint that law for animation no longer existed but they went out of theire way to do it because it is part of the shows identety.
Well, at least he says he's watched the originals - that's more than most recent stuff where stars are told not to. Don't have high hopes, but still a chance they meant different in a way that doesn't mean destroyed.
Sad truth is that He-Man is a gamble. So you factor in that the studio probably is heavily invested in DEI and the budget of the film is going to be pretty small, and you have a studio that's basic plan is "the people who actually are He-Man fans hate DEI, and we're not abandoning DEI, so we should just ditch them entirely and focus on a modern audience and hope we can get them to like the movie instead." Mind you I don't think this plan is going to work, but that seems to be the plan they've been sticking with for the past 15 years now, so why assume they'll deviate?
I can't beleive that we went from the proposed " Grayskull " which would have been a Lord Of The Rings + Star Wars epic with the cinematography of 300 to a woke remake of the 80's faillure!
Given the track records of both Hollywood in general and this franchise in particular, I will probably wait until the reviews are out… and given the reputation of mainstream media reviewers, I will likely give more credence to earnest UA-camrs.

Seems like nowadays things are remade not FOR anyone, but instead, are made as ANTI fan. Made by people who hated the originals or hated how popular the originals (of anything) were.
If they are gonna change things at least give us one where it's true to the source material. Variety is great but the OG is always gonna be what it's built on.
For anyone who is interested, Masters of the Universe was always a marketing cash grab, one I happen to enjoy while being complex enough to recognize what's going on, and do you know what else was a cash grab? Any product you ever bought, no matter how much you convinced yourself otherwise. It was just you buying someone else's lunch and maybe getting tricked into having a little fun. Enjoy fun, please. It is not an old cartoon's fault that the entertainment industry only makes tiny amounts of content to avoid paying talent with low episode counts, and is likelier to make things based on properties that are shown to be moneyful. There are tons of fresh new shows. You'll be done watching the entire full "season" of any of them in three hours. Capitalism is a charnel pit, He-Man didn't dig it. Eat the rich.
You know what ?! There was a time when I was sad because I was getting old .. Now I think ,,,, I lived on the time of the best cartoons , saw them on Day one , and lived and shared it with friends . At old age , friends are gone , and I dont care with these new interpretations . I will just go back to watch the old shows . And be Excellent ..
Hopefully it wont be like The Crow reboot. I just wish they bring back Saurod, that character got done bad in the 1987 movie. I like to believe he was sent to another dimention by Skeletor
If your He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie is set on Earth, you have already failed.

9:42 1 more thing about the 2002 reboot. They kept the after credit segments for it which I find endearing. In 2002 they didn't had to do it after all by that paint that law for animation no longer existed but they went out of theire way to do it because it is part of the shows identety.
Well, at least he says he's watched the originals - that's more than most recent stuff where stars are told not to. Don't have high hopes, but still a chance they meant different in a way that doesn't mean destroyed.
Sad truth is that He-Man is a gamble. So you factor in that the studio probably is heavily invested in DEI and the budget of the film is going to be pretty small, and you have a studio that's basic plan is "the people who actually are He-Man fans hate DEI, and we're not abandoning DEI, so we should just ditch them entirely and focus on a modern audience and hope we can get them to like the movie instead." Mind you I don't think this plan is going to work, but that seems to be the plan they've been sticking with for the past 15 years now, so why assume they'll deviate?
3:29 ¿DRAGON BALL EVOLUTION?... OH, NO... ¡¡¡MY EYES!!!
Can't we just get a continuation of the 2002 series?
I can't beleive that we went from the proposed " Grayskull " which would have been a Lord Of The Rings + Star Wars epic with the cinematography of 300 to a woke remake of the 80's faillure!
I actually want gritty and dark. I don’t know who wants a bright bubbly he-man in 2025
Given the track records of both Hollywood in general and this franchise in particular, I will probably wait until the reviews are out… and given the reputation of mainstream media reviewers, I will likely give more credence to earnest UA-camrs.
I’ll never get the Alfredo Alcala post apocalyptic barbarian I wanted unless I use an AI app.
Calling it now. Will be trash.
M She U Man! Hi! I am Pronoun Adamah, they of Eternia and defender of some castle somewhere.
This is Binger, my drinking friend.
I was given fabulously wonderfully bright rainbow colored "Secret" powers one day.
I lifted and held my big sword up one day and said By the Power of Rainbows! Binger became my fearless druggie friend.
Seems like nowadays things are remade not FOR anyone, but instead, are made as ANTI fan.
Made by people who hated the originals or hated how popular the originals (of anything) were.
If they are gonna change things at least give us one where it's true to the source material. Variety is great but the OG is always gonna be what it's built on.
For anyone who is interested, Masters of the Universe was always a marketing cash grab, one I happen to enjoy while being complex enough to recognize what's going on, and do you know what else was a cash grab? Any product you ever bought, no matter how much you convinced yourself otherwise. It was just you buying someone else's lunch and maybe getting tricked into having a little fun. Enjoy fun, please. It is not an old cartoon's fault that the entertainment industry only makes tiny amounts of content to avoid paying talent with low episode counts, and is likelier to make things based on properties that are shown to be moneyful. There are tons of fresh new shows. You'll be done watching the entire full "season" of any of them in three hours. Capitalism is a charnel pit, He-Man didn't dig it. Eat the rich.
The rendering of Castle Greyskull at 5:14 is honestly pretty sweet
Too bad we already know that certainly won't be in the new movie 🤦♂
Finally! Someone else pointing out the damage Nolan did! Don't get me wrong, the Nolan Batman movies were great, but the man did TOO good a job.
Obviously, this is for that mythological "modern audience" that nobody can find.
He man will and should always be 80s He man. No updates needed.
Bro, complain about Reagan all you want, in regard to the animated series; there wouldn't have *been* one without Reagan's FCC deregulation.
Regulations are evil
The prognosis is : bait and switch switch.
2002 He-Man is peak He-Man for me. I'm bummed it ended too soon
You know what ?!
There was a time when I was sad because I was getting old ..
Now I think ,,,, I lived on the time of the best cartoons , saw them on Day one , and lived and shared it with friends .
At old age , friends are gone , and I dont care with these new interpretations .
I will just go back to watch the old shows .
And be Excellent ..
Kevin Smith already took a dump on it and now they will. This was my favorite growing up. Just keep ruining my childhood.
Hopefully it wont be like The Crow reboot. I just wish they bring back Saurod, that character got done bad in the 1987 movie. I like to believe he was sent to another dimention by Skeletor
