All we wanted was a big hunk of a man riding a giant green tiger to fight a skeleton wizard. How hard could it be? Apparently it's impossible in the age of victimhood.
We said TLJ was trash. Critics said we were toxic. We were right. We said Birds of Prey was dumb. Critics said we were sexist. We were right. We said the leaked Powerpuff Girls script was real and stupid. Critics claimed it wasn't true. We were right. We said Batwoman was race- bait. Critics called us racist. We were right. We said He-man was a woke bait and switch. Kevin said we were wrong. We were right.
Got one more for you: We said that TLOU2 was a garbage fire of tired old gaming mechanics vomited on to a shit script. Critics called us reactionaries. We were right.
Rian Johnson: “What is your objective in Hollywood?” Kevin Smith: “Subvert Expectations, Destroy Beloved Established Characters and hear the lamentations of the heartbroken fanbase!” Rian Johnson: “Good… Good my apprentice!”
I feel so sorry for Mark Hammil to have to be attached first to Star Wars and now this fiasco... give the poor guy a break and let him have a role in something that doesn't bring a beloved franchise to the edge of ruin!
Teela PSA: In todays episode we learned how not to handle learning a secret that has been kept from you. While I was upset, it wasn't fair of me to make a bad situation worse by only thinking of myself. That's why we can learn alot from how Kevin Smith is handling the secrets he kept. While keeping a secret can be a good thing for the right reasons, keeping them to intentionally hurt someone else is never the right thing to do. Until next time remember to always go to a local hairdresser so you can avoid any embarrassing accidents with hair clippers that will take time to grow out again.
*Yeah, that was just villainous.* Pure, unadulterated spite mixed with noxious hubris, really about as low as it gets. Which is why it's encouraged _constantly_ in shows like this. Great pfp btw!
@@RogueFox2185 When she said that to Adam's OWN mother, who was in tears, and acted like the victim was the spot on point that this was not Teela. This was a strawhat feminist puppet to use under the name while giving her a stupid haircut. To me, I feel nothing for Kevin. If his reputation burns after this? It's all on him. He's a grown manchild who can't own up to him fucking up, so as far as I'm concerned, if he thought this show was a good idea for the sheer minority of people in this country, then he really was better as Silent Bob, because he said NOTHING!
@Budgie Cat rewatch Dogma with a 2021 lens. It's nowhere near as bad as today's crap, including Jay and Silent Bob's Wokeboot, but it's there. Bitchy female lead, excessively horny males who can't take no for an answer, pro lifers are vile despicable creetens, God is a woman, blah, blah, blah. The only real difference is it was well written and overall good. Also, Chasing Amy.
I'm guessing part 2 of the season will be about Evil Lyn's journey and how she's not actually"evil" just beautiful, strong, and misunderstood. Maleficent (remade) Cruella DeVille (remade) Evil Lyn........
@Budgie Cat You know, that is so true. It's all these netflix programs that have some form or several progressive agendas unnaturally injected in every show that seems like netflix is going by some woke checklist. I'm tired of it, to be honest, and I even see it in Castlevania! It's not as egregious as MoTU, but it is there and it makes me sad cause the castlevania show had (still has) lots of potential. But then they had to race swap isaac instead of making a unique black vampire character, and make a bigger deal out of carmilla, make hector a bitch, and other shit like that. And im like, come on!
She spits on the memory of Teela. Teela was a total badass... This is not Teela. So yeah, any of those names works. So long as you don't call her Teela.
I miss the days when sertine group of people warmth associated wie hair cut . This is like calling every bald guy a white supremacist becose of his lag of hair Or call him a skin head
Kevin Smith was literally bragging about killing He-Man twice. (he said, “I didn’t kill He-Man once, but twice! How metal is that?”) So he had an agenda from the start.
Same with Orkos death. He literally said that he hates him and thus assumed that everyone else did too, and wanted to build him up to a likeable character just to kill him off afterwards to annoy people.
This was him selling his soul to make clerks 3 - he represented himself as a super fan. Don’t plan on seeing Clerks 3. But according to Kevin as long as it’s woke fan ratings don’t matter.
People are angry at Orko's death because Kevin Smith admitted that they kill him to anger the fans. They said that they made him likeable (because to Smith Orko was 75% hated by the fans) and killed him to provoke a -cheap- reaction. If he comes back, then, they'd baited the fans again. Also, Orko's origin wasn't the same as the old show and they said it was a "continuation."
Yeah, Kevin Smith spoiled Orko coming back from the dead comparing his death Gandalf, and probably insulting someone, on his live-stream, Just like when he spoiled his death in a interview.
@@maximilianosanchez1106 Hi. I ask around to see if someone would be interested in a lil Project of mine. Some people try to be the 180 Degree Opposite of Cancel-Culture and try to help UA-cam become less... well, lets say 'Messy' to use nice words only... ... Interested to hear a bit more?
The reason people are outraged with Orcos death is that Kevim Smith said that Orco was annoying and wanted to get rid of him. Orco is probably my favorite secondary character in this show
May I ask what you like about him? I’ve always hated him, even as a kid. My favorite episode in the 80s was when He-man was alone and saved a village from badguys by himself. No stupid joke characters.
@@JohnSmith-ns6dp One of my favorites was when they managed to go to Orko's dimension and find out that all his talk about being a powerful wizard was true.
Not just that, but he also specifically said he'd give him a lot of character development to make people like him, and THEN kill him off just to annoy people. Or in his own words: He wanted the "No you just made me like him why would you take him away from me now?" reaction.
The dialogue is awful, the fights are dependant on people just standing there and doing nothing, teela's flaws are never acknowledged(they're worked around), the entire plot would end if they simply finished off their enemies and nothing would've happened if he man bisected skeletor instead of stabbing him.
Damn. Everything you said was on point. The people standing there during fights was so painful, especially during Duncan's fight against Mer-Man. It totally distracted me from the animation. Also everything on the first episode trying to set the plot was so forced, like your point about He-Man conveniently stabbing Skeletor for his plan. It was a cheap start for a cheap story. But a rather important point I would like to add is: Teela's rant was actually irrelevant for the story. That is if one realizes that her leaving didn't have any acknowledged consequence for the plot, since she would be reunited at the end of the next episode all the same. With the only exception of it being an excuse to change her looks and introduce Andra, who was also irrelevant. It is really hard to find an actual good point in this story.
@@Reaper419Darkangel They literally made her go all super sayian power aura on that one, obviously every butch lesbians greatest fear is being a too powerful mary sue.
God, that scene is like a lesson plan in bad character writing. He-Man explained the significance of the unspeakably important magic McGuffin mere minutes prior, but is still so easily tricked into stabbing through Skeletor. This is like an action hero shooting at a villain standing in front of a live nuke. Hell, given that Skeletor is some kinda undead dread wizard, a way more likely instinct would be to take a big swing at his head! Oh, and naturally, we're just supposed to accept that all this was planned. Mossman's intervention. He-Man stabbing at just the right angle. He-Man behaving like some green rookie. How did Skeletor even lose all the times before if he is this clairvoyant and the heroes are this stupid?!
Teela PSA: Sometimes when something bad happens its important to take a step back and think about other peoples feelings. When Adam died the people most affected were his parents. The King was angry and he said some very bad things to his friend Duncan. If something bad happens that affects how your friends feel, take a moment to consider just how badly they've been affected and how you can help them, whether right then or some time after. We can all help and support each other so we don't do something we'd regret like I did. Until next time, remember to check your birth certificate to find out who your biological parents are so that you don't compensate with hormone therapies.
*end credits music* You know, as corny as those could be, they obviously stuck with us because sometimes it's just nice to hear some common sense advice.
I will admit I'm not much of a He Man fan, (born 2003). So when you say the king gets mad at Duncan for some reason it makes me think about Macbeth. (Great play got to see a rendition at the Sydney Opera house for a school excursion, same with A Mid Summers Night Dream. (How did I make a convo about He Man into Shakespeare plays?))
@@SamtheBravesFan Some of them were actually quote good, like the one about being a true friend (still on my mind decades later). Some, of course, were forced and those are the cringey ones that people tend to recall.
They should have just called it Teela and the Amazons of the Universe. Look the animation was good, the music was good and the fights were good, but my god non of that matters if the writing is awful. God writing can always save any show above everything.
That title is disrespectful to Amazons, they are way more compassionate and in control of their emotions than Macho Ma’am Teela Savage. Also they are actually nice to look at too.
In reality, it's He-Man and the Toy line franchise! You can tell because He-Man's chest crest is not the 1980's crest, but the crest seen on the toys. It's purely there to get toy sales going and without Lou to guide it, it's become another series heavily influenced by woke activists in the production staff. People who put in what they thought their audience 'needed'. Not what the fans wanted.
But Thorias, didn't you love the scene when Teela berates He-man's grieving mother and his companions for "lying" to her? Which came straight after Adam's fast thinking self sacrifice. Ah! what a brave hero she is.
The hate for the show is hundred percent the fans being lied to. Here is the thing, people are usually willing to overlook a bad or mediocre show if they get what they came for, but for this show, they didn't. In fact, what was promised to them was not only not delivered to fans, they were spat in the face twice. Three times if you also count the lies, on top of the two deaths. Once they found out they were deceived, nothing could sooth fans ire. Think Game of Thrones season 8 ire, but instead of it being the last season and the last few episodes, it is the first season and the first and second episode of Masters of the Universe Revelation. That or imagine Star Wars The Last Jedi hate, but move it to The Force Awaken and it only forming after Disney advertised that Lando, Luke, Han and Leia, alongside Chewbacca, R2D2 and C3PO will all be together throughout the whole movie, and 2 minutes into the movie, after having them show up together in the opening scene, killed Luke, followed by the rest of the characters, then have some other character take over as the main lead of the movie. After that, no matter even if the movie has the best movie script of all time, with the best actors of all time and so on and so forth, people will riot. Same logic and principles.
Pretty spot on. Add to that, the bait and switch seems to always be ideologically based now. They have learned that presenting that in the marketing before the show comes out will kill it. (Cough...Batwoman) Hence, the bait and switch tactics we have now.
@@DocMicrowave I agree with both of you. The story wasn’t horrible even though there are moments that are very cringe. I doubt part 2 will help out; hopefully, I’m wrong.
Adam Steinhart. I have a feeling part 2 will not be much different. It's kind of a catch 22. Once a show starts down this ideological based path it's practically impossible to change course. They risk creating more hate from the groups they are trying to pander to. And they can be even louder than the majority at times. It's like they don't mind ticking everyone else off. As long as they keep the most vocal minority happy, they won't risk accusations of bigotry, Misogyny, anti-lgbt, and of course the wrath of cancel culture. They want to appear cool and progressive. So they will stay the course. At best they may try to elevate some other male character in part 2 in response to the fallout to 'balance things out a little,. But they won't change Teela or the other female characters. This is still the Teela show after all. This happened to another animated show I liked, RWBY. They started out ok, but over the years they chose to push more 'progressive' themes. The result was the story suffered greatly as it was forced to highlight representation. And the fandom has been steadily declining. Yet they have stuck to the course and doubled down as some groups in the fandom are still accusing the show runners of insufficient or unsatisfactory 'representation'. The show runners are desperately trying to stave off cancel culture. Even as the show fails as a result. Same thing is happening here. Only right from the start. This show will probably end up like Ghostbusters (2016), Charlies Angels, Terminator: DF, Batwoman, in terms of ratings. I think it's there already actually.
OG Teela would smack the new one the moment she left. "What now? You abandoned your father, who cared for you, when he needs you most. You abandoned the family the supported you and your father, give you shelter and food, especially when their champion and son died, when they needed you most. You abandoned your position, your troops, your brothers and sisters in arms, on the day they are most vulnerable, with He-man and the prince gone, especially them, when they need YOU, their commander, the most. Yes, they lied, and yes it can hurt, but imagine how they feel. Imagine how the King, your Father, your troops feel, especially when they need a leader most. So your choice, is to walk away. These are people who always surrounded you, raised you, even praised you, and when they need you the most you stepped away, not only like a child throwing a tantrum, but a coward. maybe you can't handle the responsibilities of being the one in charged, maybe this Alternated timeline needs a better Teela. I'm strong, and proud as I am now, but I'm also compassionate, and understanding. I guess I am the strong leader this world needs. Better then running away.."
I miss us getting stuff worth watching and enjoying. Back when we did not fully expect that everything we watched was going to be ruined somehow by someones bullshit political nonsense that 99% of the rest of us do not want. I guess they love burning money and their fans away =(
@@hibikiholmes2867 I like "The Tick" on Amazon prime. & the 1st season of "The Boys" was astounding. But then it went full woketard in season 2 & became clear Seth Rogan had taken creative control. There's a hyper violent Anime called Ganz O on Netflix with awesome animation & monsters.
This is literally as if they remade Avatar: The Last Airbender, where they killed off Aang in the first episode and Katara became the lead. But they still called it The Last Airbender.
And the thing is that actually sounds pretty cool and I would love to see that but they would have lied to us. That's what make the new He-man so insulting.
The Orko outrage I believe is mostly related to that one clip with Kevin Smith, and the 'apparent' glee he takes with what he says: "We made you love him, and then we killed him."
I saw the Teela angry scene, Where Teela has to banish her dad on penalty of death by order of the King, her father who sacrifice and risk his live for the Kingdom for most of her life. Instead of getting angry about that, she instead getting angry about being lied too. I don't get why female character are now acting like Amber and some how people think it normal. Im not interested in watching this, not even going to hate watch this I got better things to do.
In truth, Man at Arms, Orko, Cringer and especially Adam never lied to Teela because never once in the OG or the 2002 reboot did Teela asked any of them if they knew who He-man is or was. Second, keeping a secret and not telling is not lying. Would Adam tell Teela if they are a couple, most definitely. In this series, Adam needs to keep his secret identity to protect everyone he loves especially his parents and Teela.
@Budgie Cat That’s the problem starting from Netflix to Kevin Smith and straight down to the editors and script writers. When they more interested in being Woke, SJW, Politically Correct
Yeah it's a recurring theme where they try to write a female hero, but have zero idea how to make the character heroic or likeable. They all just end up being narcissists who make everything about them. Literally the universe is facing imminent destruction and Teela has to be convinced to give a shit. That kind of thing even motivates villains like Evillyn.
If she'd resigned because her dad was being exiled, It would've made more sense. I at least understand King Randolf's reaction. He's sufferingvfrom angrief.
Check out Midnight's Edge's latest video detailing how the activist He-man fan from Netflix was behind the race swapping BS. Typical and pathetic. I'm not letting Smith off the hook, but this Teddy a-hole is the biggest problem here.
@@douglasgoulart8838 I would imagine that after a certain point, Mattel loses creative control over the show. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I doubt that the toy company can influence the scripts, castings, themes, etc.
@Budgie Cat Improbable, you can't do animations of this caliber in just a few month. But Teela was always going to be the sorceres, that's why she distrusts magic in the first place to show the contrast.
There is... but they already screwed her up with the recent cartoon, can't count on her to bring back the fanbase anymore x.x Besides: She-ra was technically a separate show with only a few male protagonists... "Masters of the Universe" give waaaaaaaaaaaay more opportunity to humiliate men for the sake of strong, independant whamen.
@@Kewryn I just remember it watching it when I was a kid. 51 yrs old this year. I was a Teela fan back then. Or I was sweet on her as the kid I was. But this version isn’t what I remember.
What's really shitty is that they didnt have to "prop up" teela. Her story is that she is supposed to replace the sorceress one day. The literal strongest being in the universe. So they cut he-man down "just because"
Feminism has, long ago, stopped being about 'fairness and equality.' The new agenda of benefits and entitlement, need to tear men down and make them weak in order to pretend women are better in every way.
@@MarcBrown It was never about fairness. Most women during the first wave of feminism didn't want the vote because they didn't want to be forced to go to war. Now women are encouraged to go into the military... Soon it'll be the draft.
You hit every nail on the head! This show had potential and...it may still have a chance if the writer's and producer's give what the fans want. And I get they have an agenda, but honestly, it's been overdone now. We all get it!!! I feel like this is yet another phase in our collective history that hopefully will pass and we can move on! Gosh, I really miss the innocence...
You can always go back and watch the 80s version or the 2002 reboot. Honestly it is best to ignore this rubbish Revelations show. The less people watch it, the more likely it will be cancelled.
Dunno, man. Had pass 6 years already and this kind of shiet still going on. I just give up on Western media anyway, manga and anime are my safety harbor now.
What a great review, I loved how you looked at this thing from a long-time fan and an objective point of view Thorias. I really enjoyed the analysis/review of the show, keep up the good work man!!!
Teela will still become the Sorceress when its revealed that's her mother and we'll find out Andra is related to King Grayskull and she'll be the new Champion by the end.
I think there's a leak confirming with Orko being dead and hated by the people involved, from a private stream/interview. That's likely the outrage come from...
As I recall, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was aimed at young boys, and to sell toys. The also had his female equivalent She-Ra Princess of power, which was aimed at young girls,, and sell toys. Who is this for?
@@RobimusPrime .The worst part is. The real Teela was very smart and independent. A real example for girls. But this is justThe worst part is. The real Teela was very smart and independent. A real example for girls. But this is just The worst part is. The real Teela was very smart and independent. A real example for girls. But this is justjust🤮🤮🤢
I'd say the outrage on Orko dying is because it was only done to anger the fans, Kevin Smith said himself that he'd make fans like Orko (Even though I'd say people already did) and then kill him off so even if it was tasteful it was done with malice.
Kevin Smith clearly states in an interview that he was making most of his decisions to please the Netflix exec who he thought was a major He-man fan and since he had their approval, he thoguht the show would be awesome. And since he wasn't an actual fan himself (self-admitted) he didn't know any better.
That's the easy thought line. And I'm not disagreeing with you on that at all. That will suck hugely and make this even more hated then it is right now.
@@superevilpoptarts7387 If you really think that then you're happily jumping on a hate train for the giggles of it, not for the love of the old show. Yes Teela will become the new Sorceress, like she was always meant to be. But He-Man stays He-Man from Adam.
A lot of people liked Orko myself included, it’s actually good to make him more serious and involved in the plot but to kill him off like that is malicious, as for Prince Adam he was so happy that he got to kill the man twice. Yeah they’ll probably bring him back but still it’s pretty telling.
Just imagine if these people did a remake on Batman the animated series and then killed Batman in the first episode to let Batwoman take over. That's how bad this show is especially to the long standing fans of the franchise
Ya Boi Zach pointed it out, this is a huge problem for Netflix: Keep lying and dumping out bad product and sooner than later you'll get a reputation for lying and having bad product.
I don''t care about spoilers. Keep them up, please. We came from the age where a Dragon Ball Z episode is titled 'Frieza Dies'. PS: I am taking my time to watch this one. I haven't started since I've discovered this Teela thing. I've wanted to see He-Man.
What's worse is that the first episode is fairly decent. Teela begins as fairly reasonable. She appears to have a warm, sweet, if teasing disposition toward Adam, and it is obvious that those two care about each other. The interaction between father and daughter is also moving. What's more, this feminine energy of hers does not give us a sense of weakness. Adam teases her when she reacts to his hug by initiating a fight. This short and simple interaction shows us a young woman who probably works twice as hard to be ready because she wants to be the best. It explains why she is being honored and promoted. Keeping a battle-hardened mindset and yet still very much a woman in all ways that men find lovely. Everything spirals out of control as soon as He-Man is gone. The change of tone in her behavior is radical and forced. It feels like a plot device, like someone looking for an excuse to be angry; therefore it does not feel genuine or justified. I forced myself to watch until episode three, but then, when she finds her father again, and he immediately falls on his knees to apologize to her, I felt my hackles rise as I felt the rise of feminist nonsense. I just stopped watching at that point. It could have been different: Man-At-Arms COULD have reminded her that soldiers must sometimes accept that they will be given information on a need to know basis, for the good of the realm(or national security as we say nowadays). After all she failed her duty and commitment when she deserted her appointment at a time she was needed more than ever. But who am I kidding? None of this matters in the face of a woman scorned. I will leave this show to those who are still able to get some enjoyment out of it. I, for one no longer can.
The way you describe her in the first episode is pure Teela, one of the things I loved about the 2000s reboot was that they got that so right with her.
Being still vary much a woman in every way men find lovely was just an imaging con for the starting of this series. Feminism doesn't care to be much of anything men have traditionally found lovely, they like to dash men's hopes and then narrative assault their sense of male heterosexual driven self. If it isn't a depiction of a butch looking woman outshining and asskicking all the men/boys around with huge attitude then it's not empowering.
Midnight's Edge has a great video explaining why, how and who is responsible for this debacle. Without letting Smith off the hook, a woke political activist posing as a He-Man fan from Netflix is the main culprit. Imagine my shock... PS. F Teela. She sucked in the 80s, was never as hot as Evil-Lyn, and sucks even more now.
"Subverting fans' expectations" at this point just mean "blatantly and deliberately LIED to and/or mislead fans into thinking they were getting what the want but instead being deceptive and disrepectfully destroying their beloved worlds, it's characters and the love for their Fandom"
0:30 Good thing you didn't say he was a self professed fan of He-Man, because 10 years ago he adamantly hated it, which is fine. He was a teenager when it was made. He-Man was for people like me that were really young when it came out.
It's fine not to like He-man. But then i don't make a sequel specifically designed to anger the people who do. That's just petty. That's Rian Johnson levels of petty.
This is more She-Ra then He-Man!... The sarcastic thing is, that Teela coulda see Prince Adam is He-Man... but she was always so blown away by He-Man. BTW should we be happy they did not pick Lucy Lawless(Xena) for Teela's voice? At the very least she would fit... they made Teela so muscular.
At least with Amber we know she isn't really going to stick around a whole lot and she is just a minor character, but this shit right here? Fucking hell, man...
That's why I call this show "Tee-Man". Anyway, I thought they wanted to make her the new Sorceress... but now I'm actually afraid she's going to become the most powerfull Champion/Sorceress of history.
This is like if somebody did a continuation of The Brady Bunch, and in the first episode, all of the Bradys die in a tragic campfire accident, leaving Alice, now an Out Lesbian, to deal with the aftermath. Later, it's discovered Mike Brady survived, only to die for real at the hands of a common street mugger. Also, I think they did more damage to Teela than to He-Man, for at least he died trying to save the universe. Teela has been transformed into an angry, muscle-bound bitch who is just shy of Mikey Spock in the unlikability factor.
What you said at the end is so true, I tried so hard to like this show but it was going out of its way to stop me liking it at every turn. Teela who they elevated to front and centre was such a total misfire is every aspect it's going to be almost impossible to walk back.
I am all for strong female characters. However, Teela's personality was an insult to women. She is angry to everyone for little reason, and is incredibly selfish. Multiple times she is told that something has to be done to save "THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE", and she says "NO! Why would I ever do that? Magic has never done anything for me.". If I had never seen the show and you described Teela to me, I would assume she was the villain.
Another great take. I understand the frustrations of many, and I've watched many a video about it, but I like the intelligence you bring to the show and the situation.
I'll not be watching any remakes, reboots, reimaginings, sequels, prequels, or alternate versions of my old favorites. The agenda is clear: erase/replace/humiliate white, Christian, cisgender, heterosexual male characters and turn every beloved seventies and eighties property into a "slay kweeeen" propaganda machine. I'm out. No more of my money, no more of my time. Let's vote with our wallets and allow Hollywoke to turn into a bloodless husk.
And the way skeletor inches close to his ear after.... Also, castle Greyskull apparently gets replaced by a rainbow-colored building. Need we say more?
HE-MAM ! Spot on review.. Teelas voice.. 🤣🤣 Like oh my gah daad.. Thanks for acknowledging how awesome I am.. its like sooo hard to be this amazing.. ..She looks more like she'd have the voice of Pearl.. Mr. CRABS whale daughter from Spongebob..
Karen Smith said his idea was wondering how it would be to have Teela and Evil-Lyn out from under the shadow of He-Man and Skeletor. Who else gives a shit about that?????? Maybe he should have asked a couple people before ruining his reputation, as well as a franchise.
You totally nailed it with Tesla’s VA. SMG small voice just did not fit… at all!! My GF looked at me once she started speaking and asked “why does she sound so young and tiny??”
If they ever try to play the "sexism" card to excuse any of the shortcomings of this show, just tell them that for over 200 episodes He-man stopped Skeletor from winning. In 5 episodes of the whammen in charge, Skeletor wins.
I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, the traits they've given her are completely unheroic. You know you've got a problem when she has to be talked into saving the universe by another character. Apparently she has more important shit to do.
Kevin smith most likely knew how to make a good Masters cartoon, but Netflix stepped in. The writers even admitted as much but it’s not like Kevin protested. He had no problem going along with this and screwing up the IP for the sweet green. You are mostly right but if he is such a nerd he could have resigned. He has been absorbed.
This kind of crap was why I was terrified when “Lady Loki” showed up. Thank goodness they turned that into a super interesting, plot ingrained dynamic instead of her being better at everything and then replacing Loki. And Sylvie is actually allowed to be pretty. Gasp.
Budgie Cat Yes, and I absolutely love that! You can definitely sympathize with her because her life and circumstances SUCKED, but you can’t justify everything she’s done. She’s well written.
Budgie Cat ...As a writer I’m gonna have to disagree with you there, bud. Lol Also not sure why we’re having a writing discussion in a UA-cam comment section. I think we were in agreement about the character though.
He-man's female half is She-ra. Yes I too watched the original cartoons. I'm female and I LOVED the cartoons of yesteryear. What is wrong with the movie makers now is they didn't grow up watching Bugs Bunny. Saturday/weekend cartoons of the 80s were the best 💙
Teela in this show and Abby in the Last of Us 2 have body types that are WAAAYYYYY more unattainable than the typical Baywatch "babe" body, and it isn't really natural or healthy. You can get Baywatch fit running 30 minutes a day and watching your diet, but to have biceps like this you have go take body altering drugs and basically make body building your life's work. Also they don't show the drawbacks of doing this to yourself. They should show Teela having to shave her face every day, give her a huge forehead and jaw like Lou Ferrigno, a clit the size of a Vienna Sausage that protrudes her costume, and having to deal with a completely random menstrual cycle. That is one of the things people hate so much about woke culture is that they are usually worse than the people they are trying to fight against
i heard all the commotion around this show so i took a peek at the first episode and it was enough... even if there is something worth saving in there they lost me
the real question i have is if the magic is running out and technic is on the horizon, how is skeletor planning to survive? i mean he is a skeleton and without magic he dies, right? oO
This was actually a brilliant review…Honestly, I haven’t watched the show, and have no intention of watching it, but from the little bits and pieces I have seen, this is the most unbiased review I have seen. Well done. The show was called “HE-MAN” and the masters of the universe. The “Masters of the Universe” was secondary to “HE-MAN” they obviously intended to take that into account and change “HE-MAN” out…unfortunately for them, people always called it “HE-MAN”…that’s the part they seem to have forgotten and it’s biting them in the butt, big time!!! This isn’t going to change From what I have heard and gathered, the damage is done. They likely won’t get people to watch the second season so there really isn’t a point to waste the money on it.. “Too bad, so sad” as the saying goes. They should have thought about their fan base, and not about politics.
Hey I'm subscribing. I like how you covered this topic. I'm getting to the point where I believe that the executives behind mainstream entertainment get a kick out of trolling old psychos out there that immediately devolve to harassments and death threats in response. I think fans have reasons to be frustrated, but I'm glad that you covered it in a way that seemed at the very least objective and not filled with malevolence. Sucks man. Whole thing sucks.
I was not a fan back in the day or anything. I just hate liars and i'm real tired of so called 'progressive' shows, especially ones that dump on men for the crime of existing. The scene where teela chews adam out for...dying, and saying how hard it was for her really takes the cake though. Man dies, woman most affected.
I think with Orko, its more what Kevin said about they purposely made people love him, and killed him to piss everyone off, sounding very pleased with himself.
when i first heard about the show being done by netflix i knew right away it's going to be a shit show. i never even bothered to watch the trailer cause ** middle finger ** netflix and their bs.
Kevin Smith definitely was the main source for all the decisions with this show. He admits, and gloat's about the freedom and power he had in making the choices for this show.
One day, "woke" Tee-Man really needs to get the same treatment from the franchise itself that Scrappy eventually did from Scooby Doo. Actually, come to think of it, Tee-Man pretty much does fit the TV Tropes definition of "The Scrappy" ...

"subvert the expactation"
Rian Johnson: “What is your objective in Hollywood?”
Kevin Smith: “Subvert Expectations, Destroy Beloved Established Characters and hear the lamentations of the heartbroken fanbase!”
Rian Johnson: “Good… Good my apprentice!”
Rian Johnson : "good good strike him down and take your place by my side Lord Kevin"
I feel so sorry for Mark Hammil to have to be attached first to Star Wars and now this fiasco... give the poor guy a break and let him have a role in something that doesn't bring a beloved franchise to the edge of ruin!
Teela PSA: In todays episode we learned how not to handle learning a secret that has been kept from you. While I was upset, it wasn't fair of me to make a bad situation worse by only thinking of myself.
That's why we can learn alot from how Kevin Smith is handling the secrets he kept. While keeping a secret can be a good thing for the right reasons, keeping them to intentionally hurt someone else is never the right thing to do.

@@RogueFox2185 When she said that to Adam's OWN mother, who was in tears, and acted like the victim was the spot on point that this was not Teela. This was a strawhat feminist puppet to use under the name while giving her a stupid haircut. To me, I feel nothing for Kevin. If his reputation burns after this? It's all on him. He's a grown manchild who can't own up to him fucking up, so as far as I'm concerned, if he thought this show was a good idea for the sheer minority of people in this country, then he really was better as Silent Bob, because he said NOTHING!
There is no redemption for this show. At this point, everyone is tired of Kevin Smith and his feminism issues.
He's been doing this since the 90s
But at least in the 90s he was a funny bata that could actually right...
@Budgie Cat rewatch Dogma with a 2021 lens. It's nowhere near as bad as today's crap, including Jay and Silent Bob's Wokeboot, but it's there. Bitchy female lead, excessively horny males who can't take no for an answer, pro lifers are vile despicable creetens, God is a woman, blah, blah, blah. The only real difference is it was well written and overall good. Also, Chasing Amy.
Queue Kevin Smith crying.
I'm guessing part 2 of the season will be about Evil Lyn's journey and how she's not actually"evil" just beautiful, strong, and misunderstood.
Maleficent (remade)
Cruella DeVille (remade)
Evil Lyn........
@Budgie Cat You know, that is so true. It's all these netflix programs that have some form or several progressive agendas unnaturally injected in every show that seems like netflix is going by some woke checklist. I'm tired of it, to be honest, and I even see it in Castlevania! It's not as egregious as MoTU, but it is there and it makes me sad cause the castlevania show had (still has) lots of potential. But then they had to race swap isaac instead of making a unique black vampire character, and make a bigger deal out of carmilla, make hector a bitch, and other shit like that. And im like, come on!

Kevin Smith was literally bragging about killing He-Man twice. (he said, “I didn’t kill He-Man once, but twice! How metal is that?”) So he had an agenda from the start.
Yep. But I am still not getting the 'metal' part of it?!
Same with Orkos death. He literally said that he hates him and thus assumed that everyone else did too, and wanted to build him up to a likeable character just to kill him off afterwards to annoy people.
@@loucypher3914 I don’t understand the whole “metal” part either.
@@EskChan19 Yeah, I was going to add that to my comment. But I didn’t know his exact quote (and I didn’t want to paraphrase it).
This was him selling his soul to make clerks 3 - he represented himself as a super fan. Don’t plan on seeing Clerks 3. But according to Kevin as long as it’s woke fan ratings don’t matter.
People are angry at Orko's death because Kevin Smith admitted that they kill him to anger the fans. They said that they made him likeable (because to Smith Orko was 75% hated by the fans) and killed him to provoke a -cheap- reaction. If he comes back, then, they'd baited the fans again.
Also, Orko's origin wasn't the same as the old show and they said it was a "continuation."
Yep. I noticed Orko's backstory was totally different. He went from Orko the Great on Trolla to Orko the loser on Trolla.
Yeah, Kevin Smith spoiled Orko coming back from the dead comparing his death Gandalf, and probably insulting someone, on his live-stream, Just like when he spoiled his death in a interview.

Interested to hear a bit more?
The reason people are outraged with Orcos death is that Kevim Smith said that Orco was annoying and wanted to get rid of him.
Orco is probably my favorite secondary character in this show
May I ask what you like about him? I’ve always hated him, even as a kid. My favorite episode in the 80s was when He-man was alone and saved a village from badguys by himself. No stupid joke characters.
@@JohnSmith-ns6dp One of my favorites was when they managed to go to Orko's dimension and find out that all his talk about being a powerful wizard was true.
Not just that, but he also specifically said he'd give him a lot of character development to make people like him, and THEN kill him off just to annoy people. Or in his own words: He wanted the "No you just made me like him why would you take him away from me now?" reaction.
I can't remember disliking him
Orco is a decent character he was very helpful at times
The dialogue is awful, the fights are dependant on people just standing there and doing nothing, teela's flaws are never acknowledged(they're worked around), the entire plot would end if they simply finished off their enemies and nothing would've happened if he man bisected skeletor instead of stabbing him.
flaws? like when she faced her 'darkness' but it more or less boils down to:
'Oh, I'm so perfect, whatever I'm going to do?'
Damn. Everything you said was on point. The people standing there during fights was so painful, especially during Duncan's fight against Mer-Man. It totally distracted me from the animation.
Also everything on the first episode trying to set the plot was so forced, like your point about He-Man conveniently stabbing Skeletor for his plan. It was a cheap start for a cheap story.
But a rather important point I would like to add is: Teela's rant was actually irrelevant for the story.
That is if one realizes that her leaving didn't have any acknowledged consequence for the plot, since she would be reunited at the end of the next episode all the same. With the only exception of it being an excuse to change her looks and introduce Andra, who was also irrelevant.
It is really hard to find an actual good point in this story.
@@Reaper419Darkangel They literally made her go all super sayian power aura on that one, obviously every butch lesbians greatest fear is being a too powerful mary sue.
God, that scene is like a lesson plan in bad character writing.
He-Man explained the significance of the unspeakably important magic McGuffin mere minutes prior, but is still so easily tricked into stabbing through Skeletor. This is like an action hero shooting at a villain standing in front of a live nuke. Hell, given that Skeletor is some kinda undead dread wizard, a way more likely instinct would be to take a big swing at his head!
Oh, and naturally, we're just supposed to accept that all this was planned. Mossman's intervention. He-Man stabbing at just the right angle. He-Man behaving like some green rookie.
How did Skeletor even lose all the times before if he is this clairvoyant and the heroes are this stupid?!
Just like CW's Batwoman.
Teela PSA: Sometimes when something bad happens its important to take a step back and think about other peoples feelings. When Adam died the people most affected were his parents. The King was angry and he said some very bad things to his friend Duncan. If something bad happens that affects how your friends feel, take a moment to consider just how badly they've been affected and how you can help them, whether right then or some time after. We can all help and support each other so we don't do something we'd regret like I did.
Until next time, remember to check your birth certificate to find out who your biological parents are so that you don't compensate with hormone therapies.

You know, as corny as those could be, they obviously stuck with us because sometimes it's just nice to hear some common sense advice.
Good one, man! HAHAHAHA
I will admit I'm not much of a He Man fan, (born 2003).
So when you say the king gets mad at Duncan for some reason it makes me think about Macbeth.
(Great play got to see a rendition at the Sydney Opera house for a school excursion, same with A Mid Summers Night Dream. (How did I make a convo about He Man into Shakespeare plays?))
@@SamtheBravesFan Some of them were actually quote good, like the one about being a true friend (still on my mind decades later). Some, of course, were forced and those are the cringey ones that people tend to recall.
They should have just called it Teela and the Amazons of the Universe. Look the animation was good, the music was good and the fights were good, but my god non of that matters if the writing is awful. God writing can always save any show above everything.
Or Teela and the Universe of Gay Baiting!
Case in point: OG He-Man's cartoon.
That title is disrespectful to Amazons, they are way more compassionate and in control of their emotions than Macho Ma’am Teela Savage.
Also they are actually nice to look at too.
In reality, it's He-Man and the Toy line franchise!
You can tell because He-Man's chest crest is not the 1980's crest, but the crest seen on the toys. It's purely there to get toy sales going and without Lou to guide it, it's become another series heavily influenced by woke activists in the production staff. People who put in what they thought their audience 'needed'. Not what the fans wanted.
Maams of the Universe
But Thorias, didn't you love the scene when Teela berates He-man's grieving mother and his companions for "lying" to her? Which came straight after Adam's fast thinking self sacrifice. Ah! what a brave hero she is.
The hate for the show is hundred percent the fans being lied to. Here is the thing, people are usually willing to overlook a bad or mediocre show if they get what they came for, but for this show, they didn't. In fact, what was promised to them was not only not delivered to fans, they were spat in the face twice. Three times if you also count the lies, on top of the two deaths. Once they found out they were deceived, nothing could sooth fans ire.
Think Game of Thrones season 8 ire, but instead of it being the last season and the last few episodes, it is the first season and the first and second episode of Masters of the Universe Revelation.
That or imagine Star Wars The Last Jedi hate, but move it to The Force Awaken and it only forming after Disney advertised that Lando, Luke, Han and Leia, alongside Chewbacca, R2D2 and C3PO will all be together throughout the whole movie, and 2 minutes into the movie, after having them show up together in the opening scene, killed Luke, followed by the rest of the characters, then have some other character take over as the main lead of the movie. After that, no matter even if the movie has the best movie script of all time, with the best actors of all time and so on and so forth, people will riot. Same logic and principles.
Excellent examples
Pretty spot on.
Add to that, the bait and switch seems to always be ideologically based now.
They have learned that presenting that in the marketing before the show comes out will kill it. (Cough...Batwoman)
Hence, the bait and switch tactics we have now.
@@DocMicrowave I agree with both of you. The story wasn’t horrible even though there are moments that are very cringe. I doubt part 2 will help out; hopefully, I’m wrong.
Adam Steinhart. I have a feeling part 2 will not be much different.
It's kind of a catch 22. Once a show starts down this ideological based path it's practically impossible to change course.
They risk creating more hate from the groups they are trying to pander to. And they can be even louder than the majority at times.
It's like they don't mind ticking everyone else off. As long as they keep the most vocal minority happy, they won't risk accusations of bigotry, Misogyny, anti-lgbt, and of course the wrath of cancel culture. They want to appear cool and progressive.
So they will stay the course. At best they may try to elevate some other male character in part 2 in response to the fallout to 'balance things out a little,. But they won't change Teela or the other female characters. This is still the Teela show after all.
This happened to another animated show I liked, RWBY. They started out ok, but over the years they chose to push more 'progressive' themes. The result was the story suffered greatly as it was forced to highlight representation. And the fandom has been steadily declining. Yet they have stuck to the course and doubled down as some groups in the fandom are still accusing the show runners of insufficient or unsatisfactory 'representation'.
The show runners are desperately trying to stave off cancel culture. Even as the show fails as a result.
Same thing is happening here. Only right from the start. This show will probably end up like Ghostbusters (2016), Charlies Angels, Terminator: DF, Batwoman, in terms of ratings. I think it's there already actually.
it's also the show and characters are shit.
OG Teela would smack the new one the moment she left. "What now? You abandoned your father, who cared for you, when he needs you most. You abandoned the family the supported you and your father, give you shelter and food, especially when their champion and son died, when they needed you most. You abandoned your position, your troops, your brothers and sisters in arms, on the day they are most vulnerable, with He-man and the prince gone, especially them, when they need YOU, their commander, the most. Yes, they lied, and yes it can hurt, but imagine how they feel. Imagine how the King, your Father, your troops feel, especially when they need a leader most. So your choice, is to walk away. These are people who always surrounded you, raised you, even praised you, and when they need you the most you stepped away, not only like a child throwing a tantrum, but a coward. maybe you can't handle the responsibilities of being the one in charged, maybe this Alternated timeline needs a better Teela. I'm strong, and proud as I am now, but I'm also compassionate, and understanding. I guess I am the strong leader this world needs. Better then running away.."
I miss us getting stuff worth watching and enjoying. Back when we did not fully expect that everything we watched was going to be ruined somehow by someones bullshit political nonsense that 99% of the rest of us do not want.
I guess they love burning money and their fans away =(
They already have all the money now. Delivering the propaganda is the #1 objective now.
How about we share some recently good pieces of media. For example, I heard the animated film Klaus was charming and beautiful.
@@hibikiholmes2867 I like "The Tick" on Amazon prime. & the 1st season of "The Boys" was astounding. But then it went full woketard in season 2 & became clear Seth Rogan had taken creative control.
There's a hyper violent Anime called Ganz O on Netflix with awesome animation & monsters.
This is literally as if they remade Avatar: The Last Airbender, where they killed off Aang in the first episode and Katara became the lead. But they still called it The Last Airbender.
That's what they did witch the fourth season, isn't it? Maybe Katara did not became the main lead, but this other terrible 'Avatar'ess.
That was The Legend of Korra and yes that show was dumb
@@baileylanore It might have been dumb but at least it didn't royally piss me off.
They can't even pronounce Ang correctly.
And the thing is that actually sounds pretty cool and I would love to see that but they would have lied to us. That's what make the new He-man so insulting.
The Orko outrage I believe is mostly related to that one clip with Kevin Smith, and the 'apparent' glee he takes with what he says: "We made you love him, and then we killed him."
Kevin Smith needs to be put down. How does he still have a job in Hollywood
I saw the Teela angry scene, Where Teela has to banish her dad on penalty of death by order of the King, her father who sacrifice and risk his live for the Kingdom for most of her life. Instead of getting angry about that, she instead getting angry about being lied too.
I don't get why female character are now acting like Amber and some how people think it normal.
Im not interested in watching this, not even going to hate watch this I got better things to do.
this is VERY true. she got mad about all the wrong things at the wrong times.
In truth, Man at Arms, Orko, Cringer and especially Adam never lied to Teela because never once in the OG or the 2002 reboot did Teela asked any of them if they knew who He-man is or was. Second, keeping a secret and not telling is not lying. Would Adam tell Teela if they are a couple, most definitely. In this series, Adam needs to keep his secret identity to protect everyone he loves especially his parents and Teela.
@Budgie Cat That’s the problem starting from Netflix to Kevin Smith and straight down to the editors and script writers. When they more interested in being Woke, SJW, Politically Correct
Yeah it's a recurring theme where they try to write a female hero, but have zero idea how to make the character heroic or likeable. They all just end up being narcissists who make everything about them. Literally the universe is facing imminent destruction and Teela has to be convinced to give a shit. That kind of thing even motivates villains like Evillyn.
If she'd resigned because her dad was being exiled, It would've made more sense.
I at least understand King Randolf's reaction. He's sufferingvfrom angrief.
Netflix. Netflix is how this shitstorm happened
Check out Midnight's Edge's latest video detailing how the activist He-man fan from Netflix was behind the race swapping BS. Typical and pathetic. I'm not letting Smith off the hook, but this Teddy a-hole is the biggest problem here.
It's a shit blizzard
Am I the only one staring at Mattel owning the IP, approving the project and quietly watching the shitstorm roll out?
@@douglasgoulart8838 I would imagine that after a certain point, Mattel loses creative control over the show. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I doubt that the toy company can influence the scripts, castings, themes, etc.

@Budgie Cat It may not happen now since all hell has broken loose, and a course correction will be made. But I am not holding my breath.
@Budgie Cat Improbable, you can't do animations of this caliber in just a few month.
But Teela was always going to be the sorceres, that's why she distrusts magic in the first place to show the contrast.
Remember that Keven Smith says Netflix doesn't care what we think. Grab your Rum me hearties.
"Drink up, me hearties, yo-ho!!"
Isn't pirating this like hauling away trash for free?
Teela is buff, so they got Buffy to voice her. Makes total sense.
I thought they already had a female He-man. Was it not She-ra? Arora? Adams twin sister?
Hoping she turns up and gives Teela shit for her selfish actions.
They already ruined her back in 2018.
There is... but they already screwed her up with the recent cartoon, can't count on her to bring back the fanbase anymore x.x
Besides: She-ra was technically a separate show with only a few male protagonists... "Masters of the Universe" give waaaaaaaaaaaay more opportunity to humiliate men for the sake of strong, independant whamen.

What's really shitty is that they didnt have to "prop up" teela. Her story is that she is supposed to replace the sorceress one day. The literal strongest being in the universe. So they cut he-man down "just because"

@Makendra KM yes. He also comitted treason against the state.
@Makendra KM if I understand where you are coming from, then yes I agree.
His good intentions ended with his first paycheck.
They could have written about teela becoming the new sorceress instead of being an angry, woke eternia version of Amber.
I think there's a leak confirming with Orko being dead and hated by the people involved, from a private stream/interview. That's likely the outrage come from...
Yep kevin smith state he killing off orko because he cam that ppl hated orko so u kill off the comedy reliaf
As I recall, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was aimed at young boys, and to sell toys. The also had his female equivalent She-Ra Princess of power, which was aimed at young girls,, and sell toys. Who is this for?
for people who hate He-man and probably rewind the moment where he dies over and over again as they sip wine while petting their multitudes of cats.
You know the funny thing is that she-Ra came into being because a lot of girls watched He-man back then.

I'd say the outrage on Orko dying is because it was only done to anger the fans, Kevin Smith said himself that he'd make fans like Orko (Even though I'd say people already did) and then kill him off so even if it was tasteful it was done with malice.
Kevin Smith clearly states in an interview that he was making most of his decisions to please the Netflix exec who he thought was a major He-man fan and since he had their approval, he thoguht the show would be awesome. And since he wasn't an actual fan himself (self-admitted) he didn't know any better.
18:32 "Thanks for coming to my Ted talk"... that made my day lol. What a good summarization!
Second season teela is the sorceress and her girlfriend is the new he man.

@@superevilpoptarts7387 If you really think that then you're happily jumping on a hate train for the giggles of it, not for the love of the old show. Yes Teela will become the new Sorceress, like she was always meant to be. But He-Man stays He-Man from Adam.
Thorias, don't worry about spoilers, we all know it's Adam dying.
9 seconds in and you've put more thought in than they did.
I think it's more on the fact that Kevin smith was giddy about killing off orko
A lot of people liked Orko myself included, it’s actually good to make him more serious and involved in the plot but to kill him off like that is malicious, as for Prince Adam he was so happy that he got to kill the man twice.

PS: I am taking my time to watch this one. I haven't started since I've discovered this Teela thing. I've wanted to see He-Man.
What's worse is that the first episode is fairly decent. Teela begins as fairly reasonable. She appears to have a warm, sweet, if teasing disposition toward Adam, and it is obvious that those two care about each other. The interaction between father and daughter is also moving. What's more, this feminine energy of hers does not give us a sense of weakness. Adam teases her when she reacts to his hug by initiating a fight. This short and simple interaction shows us a young woman who probably works twice as hard to be ready because she wants to be the best. It explains why she is being honored and promoted. Keeping a battle-hardened mindset and yet still very much a woman in all ways that men find lovely. Everything spirals out of control as soon as He-Man is gone. The change of tone in her behavior is radical and forced. It feels like a plot device, like someone looking for an excuse to be angry; therefore it does not feel genuine or justified. I forced myself to watch until episode three, but then, when she finds her father again, and he immediately falls on his knees to apologize to her, I felt my hackles rise as I felt the rise of feminist nonsense. I just stopped watching at that point. It could have been different: Man-At-Arms COULD have reminded her that soldiers must sometimes accept that they will be given information on a need to know basis, for the good of the realm(or national security as we say nowadays). After all she failed her duty and commitment when she deserted her appointment at a time she was needed more than ever. But who am I kidding? None of this matters in the face of a woman scorned. I will leave this show to those who are still able to get some enjoyment out of it. I, for one no longer can.
The way you describe her in the first episode is pure Teela, one of the things I loved about the 2000s reboot was that they got that so right with her.
Being still vary much a woman in every way men find lovely was just an imaging con for the starting of this series. Feminism doesn't care to be much of anything men have traditionally found lovely, they like to dash men's hopes and then narrative assault their sense of male heterosexual driven self. If it isn't a depiction of a butch looking woman outshining and asskicking all the men/boys around with huge attitude then it's not empowering.
Midnight's Edge has a great video explaining why, how and who is responsible for this debacle. Without letting Smith off the hook, a woke political activist posing as a He-Man fan from Netflix is the main culprit. Imagine my shock...
PS. F Teela. She sucked in the 80s, was never as hot as Evil-Lyn, and sucks even more now.
Great recommendation. Thanks!
Kevin is just a shill I don't think he had much to with show at show at all
I can't even remember tella just the sorceress and evil lynn
"Subverting fans' expectations" at this point just mean "blatantly and deliberately LIED to and/or mislead fans into thinking they were getting what the want but instead being deceptive and disrepectfully destroying their beloved worlds, it's characters and the love for their Fandom"
We should have burned the makers of the Jem movie at the stake, that might have prevented the trend.
0:30 Good thing you didn't say he was a self professed fan of He-Man, because 10 years ago he adamantly hated it, which is fine. He was a teenager when it was made. He-Man was for people like me that were really young when it came out.
It's fine not to like He-man. But then i don't make a sequel specifically designed to anger the people who do. That's just petty. That's Rian Johnson levels of petty.
Wait...he’s in his fifties?
Look up the literal definition of bastardize.
That's - LITERALLY - what they did to Teela.
Literally, though - fkn textbook.
Kevin Smith, that’s how it happened.
And Netflix...
@@ValiantWrestling I thought that right after I wrote it.
You replace fans' fine coffee with Columbia crystals and they'll go Chris Farley on you.
Yea, I wasn’t about this. He really must have some skeletons in his closet to turn into this… shame on Smith.
19:51 you know it's coming Thorias. Teela, or her girlfriend, will be the next He-Man. There is no way He-Man stays a man.
This is more She-Ra then He-Man!... The sarcastic thing is, that Teela coulda see Prince Adam is He-Man... but she was always so blown away by He-Man.
BTW should we be happy they did not pick Lucy Lawless(Xena) for Teela's voice? At the very least she would fit... they made Teela so muscular.
Maybe a comic fan can explain to KS about alter egos and why they can be very necessary.
The same should be done to whatever idiot(s) wrote Amber in the Invincible cartoon.
At least with Amber we know she isn't really going to stick around a whole lot and she is just a minor character, but this shit right here? Fucking hell, man...
That's why I call this show "Tee-Man".
Anyway, I thought they wanted to make her the new Sorceress... but now I'm actually afraid she's going to become the most powerfull Champion/Sorceress of history.
This is like if somebody did a continuation of The Brady Bunch, and in the first episode, all of the Bradys die in a tragic campfire accident, leaving Alice, now an Out Lesbian, to deal with the aftermath. Later, it's discovered Mike Brady survived, only to die for real at the hands of a common street mugger.
Also, I think they did more damage to Teela than to He-Man, for at least he died trying to save the universe. Teela has been transformed into an angry, muscle-bound bitch who is just shy of Mikey Spock in the unlikability factor.
What you said at the end is so true, I tried so hard to like this show but it was going out of its way to stop me liking it at every turn. Teela who they elevated to front and centre was such a total misfire is every aspect it's going to be almost impossible to walk back.
I am all for strong female characters. However, Teela's personality was an insult to women. She is angry to everyone for little reason, and is incredibly selfish. Multiple times she is told that something has to be done to save "THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE", and she says "NO! Why would I ever do that? Magic has never done anything for me.". If I had never seen the show and you described Teela to me, I would assume she was the villain.
Another great take. I understand the frustrations of many, and I've watched many a video about it, but I like the intelligence you bring to the show and the situation.
Biggest instance of "Shit the Bed Hard" since JJ Abrahms and Rian Johnson
I'll not be watching any remakes, reboots, reimaginings, sequels, prequels, or alternate versions of my old favorites. The agenda is clear: erase/replace/humiliate white, Christian, cisgender, heterosexual male characters and turn every beloved seventies and eighties property into a "slay kweeeen" propaganda machine. I'm out. No more of my money, no more of my time. Let's vote with our wallets and allow Hollywoke to turn into a bloodless husk.
So... Skeletor "Spears" Adam from behind? Do I need to point out this is homoerotic?
*insert TFS zarbon laugh*
And the way skeletor inches close to his ear after....
Also, castle Greyskull apparently gets replaced by a rainbow-colored building.
Need we say more?
Oh snap!
Which is weird since I'm pretty sure Skeletor is Adam's uncle so…
@@roneherushin4638 DAMNIT, TAKEI!
HE-MAM ! Spot on review.. Teelas voice.. 🤣🤣 Like oh my gah daad.. Thanks for acknowledging how awesome I am.. its like sooo hard to be this amazing.. ..She looks more like she'd have the voice of Pearl.. Mr. CRABS whale daughter from Spongebob..
Skeletor's voice sounds like Joker and that was distracting
That's because Mark Hamill is portraying him in this series.
Karen Smith said his idea was wondering how it would be to have Teela and Evil-Lyn out from under the shadow of He-Man and Skeletor. Who else gives a shit about that??????
Maybe he should have asked a couple people before ruining his reputation, as well as a franchise.
You totally nailed it with Tesla’s VA. SMG small voice just did not fit… at all!! My GF looked at me once she started speaking and asked “why does she sound so young and tiny??”
I keep getting Kevin Smith and Kevin Spacey mixed around so I was confused why Lex Luther was in control of Masters of the Universe
Honestly im surprised they didnt have she-rah show up… the updated 80’s version of she-rah not the dumpsterfire she-rah.
If they ever try to play the "sexism" card to excuse any of the shortcomings of this show, just tell them that for over 200 episodes He-man stopped Skeletor from winning. In 5 episodes of the whammen in charge, Skeletor wins.
I don't think that the show runners see Teala's character flaws as character flaws. I think they think she's right.
I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, the traits they've given her are completely unheroic. You know you've got a problem when she has to be talked into saving the universe by another character. Apparently she has more important shit to do.
Kevin smith most likely knew how to make a good Masters cartoon, but Netflix stepped in. The writers even admitted as much but it’s not like Kevin protested. He had no problem going along with this and screwing up the IP for the sweet green. You are mostly right but if he is such a nerd he could have resigned. He has been absorbed.
It is good! LOL
@@jaxsonlee10 Well then that's your opinion dude, not mine. LOL
@@jaxsonlee10 You sheeple really eat this s*** up don't you? 🤭
This kind of crap was why I was terrified when “Lady Loki” showed up. Thank goodness they turned that into a super interesting, plot ingrained dynamic instead of her being better at everything and then replacing Loki. And Sylvie is actually allowed to be pretty. Gasp.
Budgie Cat Yes, and I absolutely love that! You can definitely sympathize with her because her life and circumstances SUCKED, but you can’t justify everything she’s done. She’s well written.
Budgie Cat ...both of those words work here. Lol
Teela really just is horribly unlikeable.
Budgie Cat ...As a writer I’m gonna have to disagree with you there, bud. Lol Also not sure why we’re having a writing discussion in a UA-cam comment section. I think we were in agreement about the character though.
if you bought the toys for this, return them for a refund, that is the ONLY WAY to prevent this from ever happening again.
Smith sold out years ago, this wasn’t surprising.
He-man's female half is She-ra. Yes I too watched the original cartoons. I'm female and I LOVED the cartoons of yesteryear. What is wrong with the movie makers now is they didn't grow up watching Bugs Bunny. Saturday/weekend cartoons of the 80s were the best 💙
Batwoman, Fantasy Edition.
Teela in this show and Abby in the Last of Us 2 have body types that are WAAAYYYYY more unattainable than the typical Baywatch "babe" body, and it isn't really natural or healthy. You can get Baywatch fit running 30 minutes a day and watching your diet, but to have biceps like this you have go take body altering drugs and basically make body building your life's work. Also they don't show the drawbacks of doing this to yourself. They should show Teela having to shave her face every day, give her a huge forehead and jaw like Lou Ferrigno, a clit the size of a Vienna Sausage that protrudes her costume, and having to deal with a completely random menstrual cycle. That is one of the things people hate so much about woke culture is that they are usually worse than the people they are trying to fight against
"Up in arms", nice pun. I have zero interest in part 2, so I await your review.
This channel deserves more subscribers!
i heard all the commotion around this show so i took a peek at the first episode and it was enough... even if there is something worth saving in there they lost me
At this point you are the most fair non sell out reviewer I could ask for...
the real question i have is if the magic is running out and technic is on the horizon, how is skeletor planning to survive? i mean he is a skeleton and without magic he dies, right? oO
Magic isn't running out anymore.
This was actually a brilliant review…Honestly, I haven’t watched the show, and have no intention of watching it, but from the little bits and pieces I have seen, this is the most unbiased review I have seen. Well done.
The show was called “HE-MAN” and the masters of the universe. The “Masters of the Universe” was secondary to “HE-MAN” they obviously intended to take that into account and change “HE-MAN” out…unfortunately for them, people always called it “HE-MAN”…that’s the part they seem to have forgotten and it’s biting them in the butt, big time!!! This isn’t going to change
From what I have heard and gathered, the damage is done. They likely won’t get people to watch the second season so there really isn’t a point to waste the money on it.. “Too bad, so sad” as the saying goes. They should have thought about their fan base, and not about politics.
I was waiting for this one
Everybody is tearing this show apart, and justly so.
Hey I'm subscribing. I like how you covered this topic. I'm getting to the point where I believe that the executives behind mainstream entertainment get a kick out of trolling old psychos out there that immediately devolve to harassments and death threats in response. I think fans have reasons to be frustrated, but I'm glad that you covered it in a way that seemed at the very least objective and not filled with malevolence. Sucks man. Whole thing sucks.
I was not a fan back in the day or anything. I just hate liars and i'm real tired of so called 'progressive' shows, especially ones that dump on men for the crime of existing.
The scene where teela chews adam out for...dying, and saying how hard it was for her really takes the cake though. Man dies, woman most affected.
Nailed it!!! Checked every single box of what is wrong with this show.
Midnights edge provides a bit of an explanation mostly the netflix exec being woke as fuck and Kevin smith having no choice but to do what he says
Teela was already a badass there was no need for this
Did it *subvert your expectations* (tm)?
I think with Orko, its more what Kevin said about they purposely made people love him, and killed him to piss everyone off, sounding very pleased with himself.
He thinks that's good drama, at best.
when i first heard about the show being done by netflix i knew right away it's going to be a shit show.
i never even bothered to watch the trailer cause ** middle finger ** netflix and their bs.
Kevin Smith definitely was the main source for all the decisions with this show. He admits, and gloat's about the freedom and power he had in making the choices for this show.
One day, "woke" Tee-Man really needs to get the same treatment from the franchise itself that Scrappy eventually did from Scooby Doo.
Actually, come to think of it, Tee-Man pretty much does fit the TV Tropes definition of "The Scrappy" ...
I ain't never seen somebody able to speak with Manic energy without the angry part.. i like this dude
"Get off my lawn!!" LOL
Will not be returning to this trash when it returns. In my mind Skeletor transforms and kills them all.
In my mind, Skeletor is watching this show and asking "wat!?".
God bless you, man. You are a righteous legend.
