He-man protected Grayskull Castle for over 200 episodes, and Skelletor never won. Teela protected the castle for 5 episodes, and Skelletor became the Master of the Universe.

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.

My dad watched He-Man daily as a kid, and was passionate about it. I looked at his face while he was watching the Netflix show, and it was blank, no emotion. He wasn't even angry, but devoided of any emotions...

"Never trust a man who constantly wears a backwards baseball cap." - my dad "Never trust a man who constantly wears an oversized purple coat." - Bruce Wayne

He-man and skeletor literally made cameo appearances in thier own show

She-Ra: the story of a lesbian and her group of racially diverse, gay friends He-Man: the story of a lesbian and her group of racially diverse, gay friends

I'm not a He-Man/MOTU fan, but I feel so sorry for all the fans who had to witness and experience this utter disrespect to their favorite childhood hero/franchise.

This Teela spent the whole show wanting to yell at the manager.

He-man was my number 1 main childhood hero. I watched this dumpster fire of a remake today and my disappointment is truly immeasurable and my day was ruined.

"Basically, it's the equivalent of the Last Jedi." Say no more, mate. Into the bin it goes.

To be fair: Teela's arrogant response to learning who He-Man was could have been the set up for an interesting character arc where she has to learn that the world doesn't revolve around her and places herself in a more humble and supportive role for the good of Eternia. But that would mean that she isn't a perfect YasSlayQueen or whatever you call it, so I guess that couldn't be done.

Skeletor is the TRUE hero of this anime, he wins ultimate power and defeats Mrs. Lesbian Haircut... honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better ending, now I'm off to watch some "Best of skeletor" videos.

"Our series is literally all about He-Man." "So he's the main character?" "..." "So he's the main character, right?"

Here’s an idea: having strong female characters without shitting all over the strong male characters Swjs: 👁 👄 👁

My favorite thing about Teela throwing a hissy fit and rage quitting because she wasn't let in on a secret: Her reaction completely justifies Adam not telling her. All Adam has to say is "I didn't tell you because I knew you'd do this."

Why does something so beautiful have to suck so bad? This animation looks great and cripes Skeletor's new form at the end there is freaking awesome!

"We're empowering women" -Portrays the main female character as physically masculine - the main female character literally couldn't care less that the hero sacrificed his life the universe AND gave up heaven to save everyone because of a minor lie - continuously berates her own father after taking his job while all he does is apologize Uhh, who is this for?

“Kevin Smith lied, Orko died and Clownfish TV was right.”

"The show is called He-Man." "Yes?" "Then why is it ALL WOMEN?!"

I will never ever understand the “let’s have women look and act better than men by having them look and act EXACTLY like men.” Or at least what Hollywood this a man is.

Duncan "I'm sorry your majesty He-Man fell." Teela "WHAT ABOUT MEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

"She's arrogant, self righteous and completely self absorbed" They know their audience

I especially liked it when Teela went off at everyone in the throne room at the end of the first episode. You know, after Duncan is banished and has his life threatened by the King? Yeah, and then Teela decides to refuse an order, disrespect the Queen , talk down to all of them (you know, to the grieving parents and the rulers of the Land, one of whom just banished Duncan) and then just "walks away". And everyone just stands there. Ummm, just wow... she's so strong and so powerful that not even the Royals can do anything to her. So strong. She's untouchable.

“…And then Skeletor and He-man, (the main focus of the original show, and what made it so great) disappear.” Literally anyone with more than 1 brain cell: “I think I know where this is going.” *Tosses show in the trash.

So Teela gets mad at being "lied" too.. shirks all of her responsibility by running away in order to "find herself".. Shaves the side of her head.. Takes a bunch of testosterone.. And becomes a lesbian. Netflix hits another one right out of the park yet again. Looks like my DVDs from the old 2002 show are going to skyrocket in value.

Female empowerment in a nutshell: narcissism, anger issues, steroid abuse, edgy sidecut.

I honestly feel bad for the animators. This is quality artwork. Animation is hard, thankless, and hardly ever worth the amount of time, energy, and resources put into it. People don't go into animation to get rich. People do it because they want to create, people who are inspired and have an innate passion for their craft. And they will gravitate towards opportunities to share it. When was the last time anyone who devoted their entire life to animation have their name highlighted in the opening credits of any work in media in which they placed a significant contribution? Their names are usually just shoved into the high-speed end credits after a second round of reminding the audience of the voice talents as if we all lined up for a radio broadcast.

This dumpster fire of a show was neither a restart, a revival, nor a reboot...it was a work of "Woke" Fan Fiction (complete with the obviously set-up "rug-pull" for nostalgic fans). In other words, it was a TRAP (in all sense of the word)!

The "look at me I'm a lesbian", half head shaved haircut tells you everything you need to know.

Mary Sue's are only allowed to have 2 specific character "flaws": 1. Being too powerful 2. Being too selfless Looks like they went with 1 this time.

I bet Teela’s also pretty pissed off that she’s only earning 77 cents on the dollar of what He-Man was getting.

Fans: We want a He Man show. Smith: Did you say a show that has He Man in it? Fans: Uh, yeah. Smith: Okay, here is a show with He Man in it. Fans: But it seems to be mostly about Teela. Smith: But He Man is in it. Fans: What we wanted was a He Man show. You know, where the widely beloved icon is the focus. Smith: he does stuff. Fans: As a background character. Smith: Shut up you just hate Teela and women. Fans: We liked Teela before this… Smith: Shut up my narrative is the true narrative. I am not really a He Man fan but I still hate how corporations just love to piss on their audiences then just throw their money around buying other corporations. It be like if they made a Mulan show but killed her off and made Shang a arrogant douche. The irony is that the kind of people who like destroying male heroes would get very mad at that, when they have been doing it themselves for a while.

Isn't this pretty insulting to the character of Teela as well? She is turned into a narcissistic brat without any amount of common sense who is easily one of the most despicable protagonists I ever had the displeasure to see...

Not surprised that Rotten Tomatoes gave it a nearly perfect score.

I am a lady, and hollywood is making me hate ladies. I am so exhausted with the girl boss era.

This show screams: He-Ma'am and The Masters of the Message.

I love how He-man sacrifices himself for the good of the entire universe without even a second thought, but when faced with the same choice, Teela is too butt-hurt to do the same thing until her friends talk her inti it. What a hero!

The original show actually had a childrens' psychiatrist to design the endings and lessons for the needs of the 80's society. That's where I learned a lot of the values, and I only needed to be reminded of "what would He-Man do?" when I was misbehaving. Times were so much better back then.

Kevin Smith: The show is about He-Man Wikipedia: He-Man is a Guest Character

I don't know what to feel anymore. Every franchise I ever loved has been burned beyond recognition. I grew up with He-man, my Dad showed me a lot of episodes from the first few seasons on an old website and we would watch them together, while he would tell me all of these things about it that I thought were the coolest things as a six year old boy who never really saw old cartoons at the time. To see someone who added to my teenage angst make this just hurts me. Everything hurts now.

Are they taking the piss with giving every single leading lesbian character the half-shaved head? It's in everything now.

Teela is drawn to look exactly like a dude. They might as well just have given her a few more muscles, blonde hair, and called her 'He Maam'.

Yeah, a He-Man cartoon with nearly no He-Man in it……genius! How did this pass the pitch meeting?

Its like a re-make of pipi longstockings but after first Episode pipi moves on with her father and the rest of the series is about Tommi who turns out to be gay and his new friend Sam and they are beeing supported by another male Charakter named George and they wander through Scandinavia and have some adventures. And when the people complain the excuse will be: "grow up, Tommi was helping Pipi all the time". You cannot kill the Main character and pretend to be suprised when the Fans get mad

If Kevin Smith made Rocky, Rocky would have died in the first act "sacrificing" himself by getting run over by the Zamboni driver and Adrian would have fought Creed and beat him in the first round.

Kevin promised a 100% beef patty, we got a vegan burger with extra estrogen on the side.

Why does Adam look like a woman and Teela like a man?! Why is she more muscular than Skeletor?! WTF?! Why Skeletor suddenly worries about his looks and getting laid?! Show is horrendous!

This broke my heart; to see how the creative team buried he-man in the dirt. The animation is incredible and that’s about all the good points i gathered from the show. Everything else is woke agenda, spit on the fan’s face storyline, stunning and brave dialogue, childish self centered mentality, and total disrespect for what made this classic show a great show.

Best description I saw of this show: "Man dies.Woman most affected."

For years Kevin has always stated confidently that he doesn’t care about critics and it only matters what the fans think. Now that the shoe is on the other foot how quickly he has done a 180 degree turn and dismissed all those fans he proclaimed to care about without even blinking. Hypocrite.

It is unbelievable to me that they would do this when there was already a She-ra show on netflix which after about the first season went from "alright, I dig it" to "hold my pen" and just didn't stop.

This may have been the worst show I’ve watched in a decade. I’m glad I’m not alone in this view. Kevin completely betrayed my childhood fave show. For shame on Netflix. If you get you needed this kinda show storyline wise make up a new one Q force style. But leave the childhood IP’s as they are. Truly terrible. Could’ve been the next Invincible. Instead straight trash.

Just a reminder that its ok to be a strong, confident and masculine male!

Of course the critics give it 97% positive ratings. LOL

What's with female characters having that side shave cut nowadays? I see a lot of those in female character designs for some reason...

They could have easily made us like Teela from changing just one scene. Her quiting her job and yelling at everyone. Instead they could have made her break down and crying filled with guilt from letting her BEST FRIEND die and not being able to stop it. They could have made her quit because she sees herself unworthy of being man at arms after Adam died in front of her and seeing his parents the king and queen constantly reminded her of Adam and his death. She could have been an awesome character trying to get over her guilt by becoming a mercenary and start looking for a way to bring Adam back. Maybe throw in some flashbacks to reanimated scenes from the og he-man before turning dark and nightmarish. But hey who’s gonna listen to some random 18 year old girl who loved the OG show. Also why did they make teela so tan she supposed to be a red head yeah?

I'm not even a he man fan and this upsets me feels like its a crime to be a white male in current days

Kevin Smith acted all affected by the death of comics but really he's just part of the killing.

Wow, did anyone else notice Teela even has a distinctly male HAIRLINE? 😂😂

My favorite moment was the Evilynn and Orko scene where Orko was talking about his name and they bonded a bit. I thought it was wholesome and cute.

"In Hollywood, you just fail upwards." -Kevin Smith

Can you imagine the screaming if they brought back she-ra, killed her in the first episode and then the rest of the show was about three guys….

I never understood how people take content beloved by MILLIONS and then just decide to unilaterally rip it apart because they "know better". There were ZERO problems with the source material. A regurgitation of He-Man themes with improved graphics on Netflix would have been a massive success. Instead we get this BS. And then - after introducing all kinds of novel concepts - producers are completely shocked that the audiences hate their product.

I was born in 1978 so He-Man, Voltron, Transformers, G.I.Joe, Robotech, and Thundercats is my childhood. Girls complained about Barbie’s body type being nigh-unreasonable clearly never watched He-Man; it’s improbable for a man to look like He-Man without a lot of steroids! A show where He-Man was more of a background character actually *could* work; he’s basically the Superman of Eternia and he always, always wins. The Masters of the Universe were never in any real danger when fighting against Zodiak’s Horde and Skeletor’s Masters of Darkness when He-Man could always show up to save them. But this? This is Wokeness x1,000,000. The He-Man live-action movie was significantly better than this crap. The truth is, and I know that there’s a lot of people that refuse to listen to this truth, is that there ARE numerous differences between men and women and no, you cannot do everything that I can do ‘better’ despite the song. The strongest woman in the world has a record bench press of about 400lbs. While that’s impressive and I freely admit that’s more than I can bench at 43 years old (what’s my max bench, you ask? How much does a box of Cheez-Itz weigh? I can bench two of those. Much power.) that’s barely the average bench press of a linebacker in the NFL. The record for a man, with an bench assist shirt, is over 1,000lbs; I forget the record for a man’s raw record bench but it’s over 700lbs. No woman on earth will *ever* be able to come close to that. Why? Because sexism, that’s why. No, it’s because our bodies are created differently. Whether you believe in the Almighty as I do or if you believe in evolution, there’s a lot more differences between men and women than just sexual organs. My point with this rant is that it’s okay to accept our differences and to even take a measure of pride in them. While motherhood seems to be less appreciated than ever before in today’s society a man can never know the joy and yes, the difficulties and trials, in conceiving a child inside of us, nurturing that baby over nine months, and then bringing that life into our world in the unbelievable honor and undeniable beauty (and pain) of childbirth. These things are worth celebrating. We do not need more Wokeness crapping all over our childhood memories, and we don’t need more nonsense trying to homogenize the differences between men and women. It’s okay to be proud to be a man and it’s okay to be proud to be a woman. I rant, I know, and I digress too often, but stop trying to destroy manhood and womanhood for the love of the Lord. This crap has gotten out of hand.

Kevin Smith: *Probably will cry like a bitch when people complain about this show.* The audience: "I missed the part where that's my problem."

Well, at least we still have Darkwing Duck and the Rescue Rangers. I don't believe they've been desecrated yet.

The Critical Drinker has the Power 🗡️.

The greatest warrior the planet has ever known falls during the planet's darkest hour. Teela: And you kept his identity a secret from me?! Screw you, guys, I'm going home!

"She has a body that clearly belongs to a man." So would it be inappropriate to call her he-ma'am?

When I found out it was Kevin Smith I noped out hard. He couldn't write his way out of a wet paper bag.

it doesn't seem like any corporations are interested in making money anymore just their political agenda

Could you imagine if Adora dies in the She-Ra reboot and the series is taken over by leading male characters that were straight? I am sure that would have gone over real well.

Teela complaining about he man when he literally died to save everyone is pathetic

If you think of it as an alternate universe where skeletor is the good guy it actually works. He suffers setbacks and comes back to succeed at defeating the bad guy(Teela)

Now imagine She-ra would do the same, with He-man taking the spotlight from her in her own show. You could hear the REEEEEE for miles, that they dared to do them dirty like they do Male Leads in this age time and time again.

All Skeletor need to finally get his hands on the Sword of Power was a female protagonist. Go figure.

This show pulled a last of us 2, teased that it was going to be about certain characters than killed off the characters that's were teased to be there than replaced with an unlikable character Edit: if you remove all of Teelas feminine features like her hair and her lipstick she looks like a man

Worst part is the trailer was a work of art, they knew exactly what we wanted to see.

Its like velma all over again. Teela's after time skip hairstyle was the red flag

So, they say there aren't enough positive male rolemodels. Then they remake He-Man and he's absent. Is that their idea of a positive male role model?

"That's all I've got for today." No! Don't leave me alone with this thing.

Who owns the Duke Nukem franchise? We might have to set an example against this madness.

Never trust critics....always trust the fans. Not Kevin Smith...the FANS!

“BY THE POWER OF NUMBSKULL!” - Kevin “Please hire me Disney” Smith

I like how almost every movie/series pitches nowdays begins with "how can we desecrate their childhood memories?"

What pains me the most is that these animators' hard work is getting sidelined by modern sensibilities...and ones that'll age like sour milk 🤢

This is the perfect example of the problem 🤷‍♀​.. Netflix does this crap and nothing happens🤷‍♀🤷‍♀​.. they get paid at the end of the month anyway.. so they don't care. 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀​...... if 1 guy sees it or 30 million.... it's the same .. 🙄​they get paid at the end of the month anyway 🙄🙄​.......... the only real way to make them understand... is that Fans take the subscription down for 2 or 3 months... you won't miss a thing 🤨​ .. every show will be there when you subscribe again 🤷‍♀​.. but .. hey!!! they are going to lose serious money for 2 or 3 months ... and then they will start paying attention to the shit they are producing...😐​

Kevin Smith reminds me of some of my nerdy friends from the 90's who would do anything, not matter how shitty it would be, to be part of the group of cool kids at school.

In this version, Skeletor becoming the master of the universe is the happy ending.

"Before Revelation, we were calling it End of the Universe." -Kibble Smith

So that's why Kevin Smith was silent Bob. Oh the nostalgia.

Basically every content-recycling writer of our generation: "Let the past die, kill it if you have to."

Rotten Tomatoes: "... bound to please fans and newcomers alike" Audience Score: 30% 😂😂😂

That every male character was presented as an idiot is simply not true. I agree with everything else

I really liked the first episode but never made it further than that. Now I'm pretty happy that I didn't.

"Are we so out of touch?" "...No. It's the fans who are wrong."

His name was He-Man. That's a name so problematic he had to die once for each part of it.

*Imagine the writer casting of the present shows:* - why should I hire you? - well, I loved the show so much when young that I was inspired to become an writer, I can sure you I respect with dignity the source material. - you aren't the type of writer I'm looking for. - Why should I hire you - I hated that show, to observe my brothers happies watching that shitty show was the worse. I don't care making a good job, all I want is to fill my anger mistreating that shitty show. I hate the people that like the original and I hate the people who would watch the show, the important is to increase my anger, you know. - you're hired with a salary rise right away

So Kevin Smith turned all the male character into himself?

I remember the Skeletor of the original series saying: "Ha! Just like a woman!"
