uh oh stinky!
>>220891872>He/Him
who would have guessed that their main target audience gen Xer and boomers wouldn't leave the old folks home to pack into theaters to watch this dead franchise.
>>220891888He-Man's marketing was too smart to win
why do boomers keep overspending 100 million on a movie and then have some retard in charge of marketing?
>>220891962They couldn't adapt. In their day a firm handshake was all they needed to convince viewers to watch films
>>220891924No. It was dumb. It should have literally been He/Man. That is the joke, simple. They tried to be weird and it backfired
No one under the age of 40 gives a shit about He-Man.
IP is like a bank account. If you keep withdrawing more than you deposit, you're going to go bankrupt. The Kevin Smith show withdrew everything left in He-Man and put nothing in. They shouldn't have ever made this.
>>220891962Because it's live action. They could have done an animated follow up and be way cheaper and probably look better.
>>220891872Get Travis Knight and his unc/feminist fans away from these toy franchises
>>220891888Honestly, just the slightest hint of wokeness and it's game over.They really should hire an in house chud to consult for what can and can not be in movies in order to avoid boycotts.
>>220891872I haven't watched the trailer, rather I saw a couple of screenshots on here a number of months back. One image showed a He/Him pronoun on an office desk, and another was a quote made by the actress playing Teela about her costume not being for the ''male gaze''. I had zero interest in the film, regardless.
>>220891872TOTAL MATTEL DEATH
Maybe they shouldn't have said shit like this. Or race swapped important characters. Or maybe it wouldn't matter either way, I don't fucking know.
>>220891872Did they really think this thing would make the 300+ million or whatever it needs to even break even when the target audience is pretty much only men in their 50s? Even for that demographic, he-man is so obviously not a property that has strong enough nostalgia to result in any sort of brand/ip loyalty. The decision making process in pedowood has become entirely incomprehensible to me. There are so, so many movies that have had 100+ million dollar budget that almost anyone could instantly tell would flop.
was it good tho?
>170M he-man moviehollywood deserves all the bad things that are happening to it
>>220893061They hired Jared Leto. Anyone who thought it would be successful after that choice is beyond repair.
>>220891872Everyone knows this franchise as HE-MAN and the Masters of the Universe. Why the fuck did they just use Masters of the Universe?
>>220893163weird, considering they did the same thing with the previous film which also did poorly.is it a rights issue?
>>220891872Who asked for a He-Man movie? He-Man is a very niche gen x thing
>>220891872was anyone expecting anything different for a dead property people barely ever cared about? I thought it was weird they bothered at all but that's just me.
I'm 33 years old, and even when I was a kid, He-Man was an "old" franchise. That shit premiered in 1983. For it to be culturally relevant for you, you would literally have to t be born in the 70s.
>>220893252the 10 different layers of producers and executives this went through to get the greenlight expected different. why they did on the other is anybodys guess
>>220893280>the 10 different layers of producers and executives this went through to get the greenlight expected different. why they did on the other is anybodys guessI mean I guess that's true but it's still fucking weird.
>>220893149He'll be used as a scapegoat for the shitty creative choices and culture war antics of Travis Knight, Chris Butler and the Nee brothers
>>220891872Not watching Xim/Xir/Xe-Man. Might see Obsession again though.
>>220893319yeah none of it makes any sense. this was such an obvious flop but then again its just another in a string of extremely obvious flops that keep getting greenlit
>>220893271Not having a good adaptation in nearly 35 years will also do that for you.
>>220891872Would be alot cooler if they named this movie MASTER RACE OF THE UNIVERSE
who fucking cares? let the hollywood kike system wither away. i love film btw.
>HOW did a woke rendition of 50 year old childrens cartoon fail!?!?!?!?
>>220893163>>220893218The franchise as a whole has always been MOTU. Only the old cartoon was had the He-Man prefix.
>>220893061>make movie about stereotypical manly-man boy franchise>afraid this will be too masculine and drive away all the female fans Even sőyboys seem to have special exceptions for masculine franchises of the 80s. Just look how many fucking love Die Hard, Predator, and Commando. Comments like this do literally nothing to help the film beyond pleasing the clapping seals at leftist entertainment news sites. No woman wants to see this regardless, and no 45 year old sőy who loved MotU as a kid is going to skip out on it because there wasn't enough of a feminist agenda in the marketing.
fuckkkkkkk 80s bros, our time is overthe last Star Wars flopped, the last ghostbusters flopped, the last Indiana jones flopped...

>>220893226>>220892042People keep forgetting there was the early 2000s reboot and then several other reboots that got millennials and even some Gen Zs to care.
>>220893450You talk like a retarded faggot.
>>220891872shoulda made it like barbie... go chud go thud they say
>>220893226Nothing inherently wrong it. You don't have to grow up with something to enjoy it. It would be quite the novelty if it was a new property and Hollywood wasn't explosively evacuating itself out both ends.The problem is that in [current year] a white male main protagonist is obligated to be constantly humiliated by foids and niggers of which the movie is already showing red flags and the movie itself is not allowed to have traditional heroic male values.So the movie was doomed to begin with but then again so was any other movie remotely like it which is probably why they made this anyway.Its a vehicle to get activist investors, tax breaks, grants and do a little Hollywood accounting on the side.
I'm going to be taking my dad to go see it since he grew up with this stuff. I'm not too interested in the movie but it will probably be a nice time.
>>220893507yeah so?it's pride monthmeet me behind the library
>>220893633I watched the 2000s reboot but it was cancelled because it was so unpopular, He-Man is very niche
>>220892042Even people old enough to remember when the first He-Man cartoon was airing out don't fucking care about He-Man.
>>220893621>>220893483you're ugly lol

Can we STOP letting fucking BOOMERS greenlight shit that no one cares about just because they made money off of it 30 years ago?
>>220891872Zoomers will show up if you make something that speaks to them instead of reheated millennial/Gen X leftovers. Backrooms is killing it. Minecraft killed it. Star Wars and Ghost Busters keep flopping.
>>220891872it needed woke grifterbait outrage marketing to be successful

All boomer shit that no one asked for (at least not in the form boomers tried to sell it to us)Meanwhile>Iron Lung success>Obsession success>Backrooms successYoutubers, who hollywood would never give the time of day otherwise, making low budget shit that people actually want to see. Boomers are fucking done. They had their chance to go gracefully, so now we do it painfully.When the Beatles slop bombs, that will put to bed any notion of boomers knowing what the fuck they're doing and make them realise that their "culture" is fucking pathetic and will disappear along with them as soon as they die.

The problem with trying to bring He-Man back is that whole sword and sorcery style fantasy zeitgest that it was created to exploit is dead. The pendulum shifted towards diet-Tolkien style fantasy. Dungeons and Dragons barbarians don't even do Frazetta aesthetics anymore, its just discount Game of Thrones guys.
>>220891872Wow I can't believe this adaptation of an 80s toy commercial isn't bringing in the crowds.
>hire Jared Leto>movie bombs
>>220893935gen x. get used to it. as boomers continue to die off, the world will look more and more like the god damned 1980's.
>>220893835no let them burn
Minecraft made billions so don't go saying He-Man is too immature for a film
>>220892030Pronouns don't work that way so your joke wouldn't work, dingus.
>>220891872This would have done well 10 years ago. These days I feel that people are tired of movies of any kind.
>>220893743UwU
>>220891872they should have cast Skeletor with a high pitched nasal voice and not Jared Leto but that's just my personal opinion
>>220891872Anyone who remembers this shitty show is 50 years old.
What's the Dolph cameo ?
>>220892102I mean Transformers One flopped despite being acceptable, these 80s toy franchises are just dead honestly, even TMNT can’t get it right anymore, their comics always get a strong following but that’s all I got
>>220894350>Transformers One floppedIt flopped because I am not watching Tranny Formers. Same reason why He-Man will bomb.
Stop blaming boomers. They created Star Wars, Transformers, etc. What has your generation created? Exactly.
>>220893490I've only seen the first one as well as Bumblebee. That being said, there must have been a paid review campaign for the former because holy shit it was terrible. If nothing else Michael Bay gets credit for hiring the best CGI directors. Bumblebee looked like stop motion it was so awkward, and call me crazy but it felt like the titular character changed sizes from scene to scene. Like there was something fucked up with the camera angles and this dude had the height differentials of King Kong across all his respective portrayals, except all in one movie.Other than that, John Cena was boring (somehow) and Haley Seinfeld is no Shia LaBeef. Also no Bernie Mac. In all honesty the original film wouldn't be shit without the cast of side characters. They're goofy as shit, but it worked. Especially the Armybros. Sand people civilians allying with U.S. Military to fight Scorponox lives rent free in my head. Can't say a damn thing about Fumblebee.
>>220893836This is a misunderstanding of the problem. In the 90's we were getting reboots of cartoons sitcoms from the 50's and 60's, and people were perfectly fine with that because they were good movies, and they had the proper marketing.One thing they could have done for the past five or so years, if they want kids to care about He-Man is actually air the old cartoons and disseminate the iconography of the franchise in a place where kids will see it (which at this point probably means Fortnite, let's be honest).They could also have not given it to Kevin Smith, to make a feminist Kevin Smith cartoon aimed at 40 year olds.
>>220894258>i understand comedy
>>220893770All the people old enough to remember the first He-Man cartoon only care about politics now.
>>220893951>>Indiana Jones flopped>>Baywatch flopped>>Ghostbusters flopped>>Star Wars flopped>>Tron floppedBecause it was all written by communists from WGA.

>he man in new yorkthe trailers look like some piece of no budget shit from the 80tieswhich is ironic since the original masters of the universe made same mistake but was carried by great sets and actingwhy the fuck on a big budget you just do Smurfs visit new york, but with he-man?anyway, it will bomb hard, we are long past lord of the rings and marvel movies, people are ready for a fantasy movie, you dont fucking have to move the characters to a modern city ..
>>220894481Bumblebee is just reheated Spielberg, but the best parts of Transformers 2007 are also just reheated Spielberg. I prefer the focus and smaller scale of Bumblebee, though I'll admit to missing the Bayhem. No fucking way is Bumblebee worse than the other live action movies, though. Not a chance.
>>220891872Reminder:>Travis Knight, director of the upcoming 2026 live-action Masters of the Universe film, stated in a February 2026 interview with Empire that Jared Leto’s Skeletor is the "embodiment of toxic masculinity." This comment, alongside similar remarks from actress Camila Mendes regarding her character Teela being shaped by negative masculine influences, has sparked significant fan backlash and debate regarding the film's ideological messaging.The director and lead actress themselves said this garbage is woke; just like that godawful Kevin Smith cartoon.
>>220893061https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ek2ArdQM4cleto is such a fucking downgrade from the old actoralso hes just too fucking old, he sounds like a tired grampa in the trailer, hes 10 years older than langella was when he filmed masters of universe, you can hear the energy in langellas performance, leto sounds half dead
>the only audience of people who watched a shitty cartoon from 40+ years ago have aged out of it>no one has fond nostalgia because it’s corny as fuckshocker
>>220894917Frank understood the assignment.
>>220894927they’re trying to bring back Voltron, Conan, Highlander too. They’ll all bomb
>>220893752this. it wasn't nearly as huge as it was in the 80s so much the the ghostbusters movie of all things would reference he-man.

>>220891872I am literally the demo to watch this and don't want to. All cartoons back then were toy commercials but He-Man was the most blatant example of this. No one should be fond of this IP
>>220891872They need to take a page out of Micheal Bay's book and add some modern flavor without being too gay with it. Like how he made Transformers military and action porn, this should've been played completely straight as a science fantasy action film
>>220894961Conan, in theory is timeless. Though Arnold is not, and trying to sell modern studios on the idea of a movie where the entire point is that it's an unashamed celebration of masculinity and might makes right seems a little tricky. I'm actually curious to see what they do with Highlander.
>>220894811>Why do X but reverse Isekai.It's either something INCREDIBLY jewish, like some personal self promotion thing (New York is a jewish country) or somewhere in the history of cinema, very insecure producers noticed that people were more willing to see a movie if it involves "what if weird fantasy thing but IRL".We'd have to go back to the first film to actually do this.

>>220891872they keep trying to make masters of rhe universe this huge franchiae but literally the only people who are ever going to care about it are people who were kids in the 80s
>>220892042This, what the actual fuck lmaoI saw the preview for it in theaters and could immediately tell it was a fucking stinker. It's bad enough the guy playing he-man is a literal charisma vacuum, but i have literally never met a single person in my entire life who has even mentioned he-man ONCE, and I'm 35.
>>220895488I think it's simply a budgetary issue.Though the new movie is predominantly in the fantasy world, if I'm not mistaken. The point is that He Man is trapped in our world, and he has to find a way back. I guess it's effectively an origin story, except not?

New box office tracking suggests the long-running horror-comedy franchise could open ahead of Masters of the Universe when both films arrive in theaters on June 5Current projections obtained by Slash Film place Scary Movie in the $35 million to $52 million range domestically during its opening weekend. By comparison, Amazon MGM Studios' live-action Masters of the Universe is tracking between $25 million and $35 million. The latest estimates mark a notable shift from earlier forecasts, which had both films opening in a similar range. In recent weeks, interest in Scary Movie appears to have strengthened while expectations for Masters of the Universe have softened.

It’s a full-fledged box office phenomenon.Over the weekend, moviegoers turned out in force for Greta Gerwig’s neon-coated fantasy comedy “Barbie,” which smashed expectations with $155 million to land the biggest debut of the year. But they also showed up to see Christopher Nolan’s R-rated historical drama “Oppenheimer,” which collected a remarkable $80.5 million in its opening weekend.
>>220892042neither does anyone over 40
>>220891872I could have told them that. There isn't as much nostalgia for he-man as people thing. It was a line of toys only relevant for a very narrow window of time, and even as kids we knew the cartoon was just an advertisement for toys, and skeletor is legitimately a cool design.But I had those toys and watched the cartoon growing up, and I've got no real desire to watch more he-man stuff. I like the old cannon movie because its a cannon movie that's fascinatingly dumb and cheap and corny. Also at this point in the "Mine old IP for money" cycle I think even your average cinema goer is jaded to the same trick. Also Leto used to be a pretty solid actor, but in 2026 just don't hire him for your big budget movie.
>>220891872He-Man wasn't even a thing for more than like a year and a half. It wasn't generational, it was a single sliver of a single generation that watched it or even know about it. This is going to lose a ton of money but they will take up all the premium screens. It's going to have a decent previews on Wednesday, then a moderate Saturday, and then it'll fucking crash.And early reviews are saying it's not even faithful to the IP.I do want it to knock Mando down to #4 next weekend though.
>>220894135As is tradition.
Is Leto even in the movie or is he just the voice of Skeletor?
>>220895990>triggered boomylel
>>220896194>Wow, that movie really appealed to moms and daughters and made a lot of money. Well, let's go back to making girl-boss action movies.
>>220892042>>220896207>>220896222>>220896239You dudes are brainlets. Whether He-Man ever existed or not is irrelevant. How dumb are you guys?
>>220893621Sure, and if you don't appease us then your movie will blomb.
>>220896319it literally does, becuase it's an old, well-known IP that is basically dead and buried.
>>220891872They know nobody cares about this movie other than the USA. For example it won't release in theaters here in France, and will probably be dumped to Amazon once it hits digital in America.
>>220891872It was doomed from the moment they choose Leto as Skeletor. Alison Brie was somewhat of a decent choice for Evil Lynn though. I have no comments on Elba as Man at Arms or Teela except i would like real red heads to make a come back. Hollywood is being really anal about it for some reason. As for He-man himself i guess he looks ok though the new Teela cartoon didn´t do the IP any favors.
Trust in Mekaneck, boys!
>>220896360Every single movie made about a superhero in the history of mankind was a gay idea.The original idea of Superman - gay as fuck The original idea of Batman - gay as fuckYou can keep going down the list. But you idiots like Superman and Batman now don't you morons?This is a movie. I don't care what it's about, I just care how good it is or notAll the reviews of people who actually saw it said it was greatWhat's the point of bitching about it before you even see it?Seriously how fucking dumb are you guys?
>>220896302Troll all you want, son. I had an excellent childhood, while you got lectured. Rage is all you have left, mutt.
>>220896429Angry Troll is Angry!The level of discourse from you is that of a tantrum-throwing child. You've been groomed so hard you think everything that came before was gay. Pitiful. Keep raging, son.
>>220896504Pees all over you. Stay assblasted virgin
>>220891872doesn't Amos Del Universario mean Love of the Universe
>>220896386Also to complete my post, in France we are notoriously famous for releasing stuff from all the around the world, even if it barely makes money.Stuff from Asia, Africa, South America, Middle East.The latest Amazon MGM Studios movie released here was Project Hail Mary, and it did fairly good here.
>>220896411Is it Chad or virgin to have an extremely long neck?
>>220896535I love how all you can do is repeat tired old cliched insults. No wonder you consoom the reboot slop.hahahahahaha
>>220896625You will never experience the joy of He-Man. I will. 1-0 me in life over you
>>220896386Even inside the U.S. nobody cares. He-Man is like Zelda where you were bullied and called gay for liking it.
>>220896319It matters because the only hope for this film is that it will somehow cause American men between the ages of 52 and 54 to feel a tiniest twinge of nostalgia and be willing to spend $18 to feel that way again for a couple hours.>>220896429Superman was a huge success prior to the Donner movie, and sold 115 million comic books already.Batman was selling half a million comics every year before the 1966 TV series, which basically doubled its popularity. When the movie came in 1989 he was easily one of the top superheroes.
>>220896654I didn't have He-Man. I had GI Joe. Nobody bullied anyone over toys, nobody looked down on He-Man. You're literally retarded Speaking of those toysGI Joe, Transformers, He-man all made into moviesHe Man is the only one that looks good enough to watch
>>220896638>You will never experience the joy of He-Man.Huh?? Did you even think that through before you sharted it onto your keyboard? I DID enjoy He-Man, when he was good in the 80s. And again in the 2000's. YOU, however, get pronouns and "toxic masculinity" lectures! Kek!!! And.....and......you think you're WINNING!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Enjoy Your He-Man and the Negroes of the Universe! Our Man at Arms was White. You lose!
If they didn't raceswap fan favorite characters, they might have had more Christian Dads taking their kids to it. This film appeases neither boomers or zoomers.
>>220896698You're literally retarded. Let me help you out: He-man is a movieA movie that got good reviews from all Looks beautiful in the trailers You'd have to be retarded not to be intrigued. Granted, I saw some film site say the early reviews tend to be better, but I always wait until after a couple weeks to get all the in reviews anyway, users included
I don't think Gen X even goes out of their homes anymore. They're old enough to remember an all-white society. But everyone in public is now some form of nigger screaming their alien languages at each other and they're not so Boomer-brained as to enjoy that.
How long until this shit hits Prime? I actually want to see it, but not enough to go to a theater.
>>220893604>>220893633Not a single one of the revival attempts lasted more than a year or two. It's a zombie IP that's been living off a 3-4 year period of popularity in the '80s for 40+ years now. GI Joe is just as bad, maybe even worse. '80s Joes was a successful reboot and for whatever reason, Hasbro has kept going back to that instead of doing a similar reinvention. It's not as though kids stopped liking military fiction, toys and video games.
>>220896638kek, you got btfo'ed HARD.
>>220896890It's usually like two months now, at most. If it's a huge success, and it won't be, then it might stretch to 10 weeks.
>>220895322It should have been a biblical epic, so reverent and serious and played-straight that it became hilarious, Going for an MCU vibe at this stage was fatal
>He ManIt’s They Men now
>>220896831The trailer I saw looked like shit, and super woke. Also got zero reaction from anyone in the theater. Nobody cares about this thing.
>>220893625Travis sounds like a twat. I went to some He-Man fansite and one of their articles was a quote from him calling Skeletor "immensely insecure." Buddy, it's a muscular Skeleton man with a cackling laugh meant to sell toys to little boys. Take your head out of your ass and make a fun movie.
>>220897014>super wokeAnd there it is. The pinnacle of retardation. If you want to be one of the retards harping about "woke," that's fine, it's your life you're torpedoing. But at least be honest. Instead of coming up with all this dumb nonsense just be honest. Just say I hate niggers, and I don't want to see a movie with niggers in it. How hard is this?
>>220896936He-Man is an industry plant. It’s going to keep being rebooted every decade to general apathy. A movie that underperforms. A cartoon that gets cancelled after two seasons. Hasbro won’t let it stay dead.
I vaguely remember the cartoon being too childish. No one was really watching it
>>220893951A Beatles movie should do well. Even if they're not relevant to a large amount of younger people, they've undoubtedly heard of them and some of their songs. Timmy's Bob Dylan movie did like $150 million and he's got far less cross-generational notoriety. The hubris to make it into a multi-movie series from day-1, though?
>>220897101Why is two Brazilian actresses playing roles that should go to natural red heads?Why is Idris Alba, a black man, playing Man at Arms?I say this as a Brazilian, fuck this stupid shit. The only good thing about it is Jared Leto, my favorite actor. Great Joker.
>>220894961Voltron is reportedly going direct-to-streaming, presumably because Amazon knows this is going to be a flop and doesn't want a repeat so soon.
>>220897101I don't remember any niggers in the trailer. I did see the main white guy getting humiliated by a bunch of women though.
>>220897132I don't know what to tell you other than you should probably just take a gun in shoot yourself through the mouth if you hate everyone so much. What's the point of living if it's as a bitter hateful petty person?
>>220895639Why do latinx love Mattel slop so much? Are their toys really cheap in that market or something? I know most Max Steel fans seem to be from there, too.
>>220894493>I understand comedy (doesn't)
>>220897124Oh man, I fucking hope the Beatles movie bombs. But I'm sure they'll be lining up buses at the old folks homes to take their senile drooling boomers to the theaters. Probably give them a free COVID shot with every ticket purchase.
>>220896429>this is the kind of idiot who will pay real world dollars to see this steaming pile of shiti am ashamed to admit that people like you are part of the reason i will never give this movie a chance
>>220891872WHAT'S GOING ON?!
>>220897348
>>220897101Movies being woke is a thing. Why does it bother you to point that out?
>>220891872The world would be a better place if all Gen X died tomorrow.
>>220893935Gen X like RedLetterMedia.
>>220894258>jokes are perfectly logical thats why theyre funnyholy retard
>>220897101>missing RobotoWhy not include the gender swapped character too when she is in all the trailers?Not even a throw away actress either, it's like Kristen Wiig or Rebel Wilson.
>no HEYYYYAAAAHEEYYYYY>no Bam Skeletor vs Beastman>no nasally Skeletorwhy.bmp
>>220897208>this steaming pile of shitHave you see it? No. Opening night is Thursdays
>>220894089I liked the sword and scorcery zeitgeist.
>>220897170He-Man got a god-tier dub and rerun during the 80s and part of the 90s
>>220897772Don't worry! They're remaking Highlander too! Swords are back hardcore baby!
>>220897793Who is this meant to appeal to? It's just an ugly old woman acting like a degenerate. Where's He-Man? Isn't that his sword? Why does she have it?
>>220894350The ninja turtles keep failing because everyone still remembers the amazing live action suits and all the CGI versions they've tried to force on everyone since then are soulless husks by comparison.
>>220893061>Jared LetoOh boy
>>220897742If it wasn't slop they would've already lifted the review embargo.
>>220891888fpbp if they just made it he/man everyone would of loved it but all they did was piss off your fanbase.
>>220897882Go read the reviews, they are all great. I'm particularly intriguing by the guy who did his review on YouTube saying he smiled the whole time, because I smile a lot more than he does
>>220897793I still have hope for the Highlander remake because for all the jokes I think Cavill really has had enough of wokeshit and will not sanction it and Stahelski is a good action director. Like, I don't trust Amazon, but how do they screw this up? The important people seem to be the right ones and it's going to be rated R, have swordfights and decapitations and mostly practical stuntwork. Should be shooting fish in a barrel unless they do something stupid
>>220897833She's doing what they paid her for: to promote He-Man to horny nerds.She's the only one doing any work! Fuck the Teela actress for being a prude. Had they cast the other one, Madeleine Petsche, she would be riding that Sword of Power like Tyga's cock!
>>220893095I mean, I watched He-Man back in the day, had the toys, hell I even watched She-Ra which honestly had better designed villains, but in my fucking 40s I don't really care anymore. It was just a kinda shitty toy-selling franchise, it was definitely no Ninja Turtles which had one really great movie, one pretty good movie and one silly time travel movie that I'll watch.
Thursday Opening Day, He-ManThe three big AMCs (16-20) by me are each showing it four timesThe other box theaters (10-14) are each showing it 3 times
>>220895724I watched the challenger explode live on the air. Did not see that one coming
>>220897889>if they just made it he/manZoomers really need all to be "in your face" to get it? Damn
>>220898011I'm going to contradict myself here, but hiring Batista to start in your film is the Sign of Death. 1st he has a small dick according to Mickie James, 2nd he was born from 2 lesbian witches, 3rd they should not have remade the film beat for beat. Yeah it's a classic. But Highlander wasn't total kino. It deserved better. And a flaming homosexual Kurgen ain't it.
>>220891872Will "What's Up" play? Otherwise I don't give a shit.
>>220893451It's fine, I'm ready to be a complaining old man who hates everything, it was the role I was born to play.
>>220898035can someone please translate?
>>220891872Like with the new Star Wars stuff, I think the problem is going to be more of the fact that they alienated actual fans so hard prior to the new content rather than the new content not being good itself.The stink of the disastrous Kevin Smith reboot still lingers. There wasn't much to tide He-Man fans over before that and when they finally get something it was a slap in the face. And then Smith just flat out lied in trying to justify the sloppa he'd made and it just added insult to injury. That pretty much ended the IP. Making a non-woke effort years after the fact is closing the barn doors after the horses have already left. You needed to appeal to the fans while there still were fans. Now there's just a bunch of jaded people who used to like this stuff but don't trust the motives of the people who make it any more. Poison the well enough times and people stop coming back to it, so you probably should have stopped poisoning the well if you wanted to keep selling its contents. Don't piss off your fanbase, tell them they can fuck off if they don't like it and then hope they come back years later when it turns out you kinda needed them.
>>220898123Based Bitchtista hater
We have to show up to support this, xisters. Thankfully the critics will be on our side
>>220891924You knew that marketing wanted this to be a HUGE Pride Month movie hence the pronouns and they were probably begging to put the disco song in there and make it a Barbie Tier soundtrack but then corporate balked and said uhh this is for grandpas and dads to take their kids guys this isn't gay.>>220894688It does have a popular Gen Z actress and its allowed to breath and doesn't have anything stupid like a bunch of 50 year olds raise her and force her to sing Pearl Jam or some old Motown song.>>220894961King Conan is actually a badass book but its annoying the shit out of me imagining it coming out and all the smartass zoomers making fun of it "bombing" this was never a franchise that made money what do they fucking expect?>>220895612I am Gen X but you really shamed us with this but cannot delete it. Gen X has to keep its franchises alive in our old age. Boomers kept the Rolling Stones alive and have a 79 year old president, if we are going to keep our power we need to participate not be reclusive.
>>22089606443 and my older brothers had a box full of He-Man figures that I played with. I remember watching the cartoon and I also saw the original MotU movie. I cried because it was so stupid and not like the cartoon at all, but my parents thought I was scared. At least this one has Orko and not Billy Barty as some retarded imp with a synthesizer. No, I will not see this movie. Some things are just too far gone.
>>220891872PEEPEEPOOPOO
>>220898035I checked theaters near me and they're not selling any tickets for Friday. They're selling tickets for previews (the most) and Saturday (not as much but still a respectable amount), but Friday and Sunday are dead. This is going to make all its money in the first four days and then nothing. Everyone who wants to see this movie, and it's not many people, will see it right away and then the theaters are going to be wishing they were showing Michael or Project Hail Mary again.
I only know He-Man tangentially, I vaguely remember watching some episodes and seeing toys, and I had an Orko figure. The film amuses me with how close it appears visually to the old cartoon series. I might go in with zero expectations other than it reaching similar amounts of dumb corny fun.
>>220893861The last movie I saw in a theater was the South Park movie back in twenty aught whatever, or it was an Austin Powers movie or the Phantom Menace, whichever came last, those were the last three movies I saw in theaters. I have seen movies at drive-ins since then, but I don't think those still exist anymore.
>>220891872Can't feel bad. They chose ot give Teela pants
>>220893948Well, like 1/3rd Gen X were aborted and another 1/3rd died of the opioid epidemic, so even if we could bother to show up, you wouldn't notice.
>>220891872He-man makes the bitches drip
>>220896316>girl-boss action moviesWait I don't get it. Is He-Man now being marketed to women?
>>220898356Does Evil Lynn have pants too? I remember her action figure! had sexy yellowy legs just beggin for Beast Man
>>220894917whomst?
>>220898400>Is He-Man now being marketed to women?It's called deception Get men/boys into the theater for He-Men toysBlast them with constant Teela vs Evil Lynn and only give He-Man vs Skeletor one scene together

>>220891872AND I CRY SOMETIMES WHEN I’M LYING IN BED

>>220895789>>220896194>Barbenheimer>Scaryman
I read He-man gives violent beatings to all the bad guys, which includes this black guy here, right?
>>220898600>They still made Man At Arms black in this "non-woke" movie soit's the Emperor's New Clothesthey make a "joke" about woke (He/Him) so they can pretend a fat Chinese man is Ram Man or an ugly mexican is Teela and nobody is supposed to noticeZoomers and their Leftist propaganda continues to rape our childhoods and we're fucking sick of it
>>220898441>whomst?die zoomtard!
Every line of dialog I've heard in ads for this have been "Ummm, that just happened!" tier garbage. Make something sincere for once in your lives you god damn hacks.
>>220898695Fuck you mean zoomers, the wokies are all millennials, we're the ones fighting back
>>220894898The real Skeletor is a hammy campy villain who shakes his fist and says "I'll get you He-man!" That's what might maybe work for a He-man movie, like do they even have Orko? Does he even transform from scrawny twerp Prince Adam? Does he have the scaredy cat that turns to the bad-ass tiger mount? Because if not why even do this shit?
>>220891872As an old ass man born in the 80's. This shit is tiresome, it was tiresome a decade ago, let it die. These people who still promote this old crap are retards.The only conceivable means this could be made justifiably would be for IP retention.
>>220892826>his unc/feminist fans... University of North Carolina?
>>220893451All those movies became woke.common theme
>>220893951Those horror films are shit too and it is easy for low-budget horror to make money. The films that make the most money are still based on "boomer" properties like Lilo & Stitch and Super Mario.
Didn't know Leto was in trouble until I read up on He-Man and saw everyone was bitching about him Finally looked up what he did>stems from a June 2025 investigative exposé by Air Mail where nine women accused him of sexual impropriety and predatory behavior. The allegations span a timeline of his interactions with young women—some of whom were minors or teenagers—and include claims of inappropriate texting, unsolicited exposure, and sexual coercion
>>220898695
>>220891872Hopefully that gay new Street Fighter movie is next.

>>220898888Nice try, woketard. That movie will do just fine
>>220891872But he-man was always low budget slop for dumb kids.Even as a kid I was embarrassed by it

>>220898731This movie (and frankly, the property) is all Gen-X shit.
