I agree; do it right or don't do it. no Earth, unless you're starting with Marlana leaving in a rocket getting lost, crashing and being rescued from the wreckage by Randor. 🤔a mother's perspective on Prince Adam would be interesting. a sequel could have her flashback to home invasion and child abduction by Hordack.
@@JOHNN01.82 Yeah it does but they have done it with upcoming movie Dune, and I would argue that He-man has a much better story and potential to be a blockbuster in a fantasy/superhero market.
yes, there are lots of good places to do that or new - less cost - technology (like huge led monitor in the background with real time 3D - Unreal engine)...
ONE OF THE FIRST ANIMATORS ON THE CREDITS FROM THE CARTOONS FIRST SEASON JUST PASSED AWAY A MONTH OR SO AGO IN A TINY COMMUNITY IN WEST TEXAS AND NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT. "RICH TRUEBLOOD" RIP GOOD SIR
@@amenwhiplash9073 notice the words 'I hope'. What I meant was when they finally start creating the movie, 'I hope' they don't ruin it. (I'm sorry, but is english not your first language? No offense!)
@@amenwhiplash9073 umm watch any Sony made Spiderman movie. So you are saying you can only ruin a movie after it out? That makes no sense. A bad made movie is a ruined story The story has been out since the 80s
Proof that people want a live action He Man movies is the fact that 450k people, myself included, are willing to sit through an hour long video which only talks about movies that DIDN'T get made and why.
I'm just here to watch Hollywood burn. It's a perverse exercise where I end up coming to terms with the fact that the vast majority of big budget films run by these corporate whores are awful and it's only getting worse. It takes them 5 years and a load of lawyers to finally get a decent enough story that might work and then it gets thrown in the bin and completely rewritten again and again. There are exceptions of course but for fuck's sake.. get on with it! I am also available for He-Man themed children's parties.
More proof is people like me that are willing to sit through that video a second time to ensure it is indeed the video discussing a cancelled He-Man universe that I wanted to show a friend. Even once I confirmed this is the video I was talking about I’m sitting here putting my day on hold and watching it a second time.
"So, you have a sequel script for me?" "Yes Sir, I do, it's called 'Masters of the Universe: Requium'" "Masters of the Universe didn't do well, mostly because we strayed too far from the source material, replaced favourite characters with knock offs & changed the look of the ones they kept & set it mostly on Earth, isn't it going to be difficult to find a way to make sure the sequel will do better?" "Actually, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience." "Oh, really?" "Yeah, we just set it on Earth again, make He-Man a Football player & Skeletor can be a Hollywood movie producer!" "Amazing!"
The closer you make it to the animated cartoon the more people will love it when you change things leave out original characters and try to bring it to earth it’s going to flop
As a kid I loved he man, but as I’ve aged he man is a little campy, kill orko never liked him and merge the comic and animated series the comic was so much better.
Exactly, the more true it is to the source material the more money the movie will make period. That was the downfall of the original live action movie. They brought it to earth because they simply did not have the budget they needed. But the low budget is why it turned out like it did. Although i still like that movie. It did not live up to my expectations as a kid who played with castle greyskull and watched the cartoons.
2nd lesson they need to learn: Stop trying to put your individual political agendas in our damn fantasy movies! They are suppose to be an escape from all that crap!
You are all mistaken, you just cannot see the big picture; You don’t know what you want until they tell you. There is no “political ideology” supplemented in movies, it’s a reflection on societal norms and that society is your reality. This is the current year. If you see an “agenda” or some sort of bias in your media, there is something wrong with you. Perhaps you weren’t listening correctly, you clearly aren’t thinking correctly. Turn on, tune in and drop out, the MSM has your back! Or check over at Rotten Tomatoes. They have professional critics, working for the top studios and networks, offering honest and unbiased reviews. They will tell you how to feel. This is a renaissance of motion pictures! Occasionally, there will be an unhappy silly person (usually ugly) that labels a movie “a remake”, so negative! It takes thousands of people years and countless hours on computers to improve those OLD things. They are revitalizing these movies. We have the technology now to make them better! They were sorely lacking in effects (CGI). Those old “practical” effects are tired, and are -in fact, not practical at all. Once it is all digitized and given a healthy smattering of saturation, you will see how beautiful they are. And those scripts! Old! We don’t think that way anymore. The studios and networks have top people, experts with their thumbs on the pulse of society working tirelessly to revision these stories, to make them relevant in this current year. We cannot have anyone being offended by these old, antiquated ideas. We are better than that now. Now we can fix the misogynistic, racist, bigoted clearly broadcasted throughout ...with diversity casting. It is a step, (a very small one) in the correct direction. We will never be able to make up for all of the inequality though. Besides, the gender, (or lack there of) and race don’t matter. Most movies, (especially those for children) never establish the sexual orientation of the characters! The ones that do? Almost all of them are Cisgender!?! Children are so impressionable, they need to see the diversity and inclusion and have all the other genders and orientations represented. We know gender and race and sexual orientation are very important to everyone, so the story and casting must check all the boxes! We cannot exclude anyone. Of course, no one wants to see more caucasian men in movies, because that’s all we’ve ever had...and look where that got us! Now, we have to fix all these movies, because of the patriarchy. What a mess! With new and better effects, scripts that has been corrected to represent the diversity of today’s society and establish the sexual orientation of the characters within and have the offensive and wrong content edited out. They are giving the fans exactly what they want. Trust them.
If He-Man has the light sword and Skeletor has the dark sword and this is canon... but She-Ra has the exact same sword as He-Man except it has a gem in it, also canon... If they ever throw in She-Ra we got to find out where the fourth sword is because it stands to reason there'd be a dark gem version. Also the idea of making Skeletor want to destroy magic makes about as much sense as having a Popeye movie where Popeye wants to destroy spinach.
nah its Hollywood... so it has to be original and darker... and they need to add a progressive agenda... maybe make He-man a black transgender woman who fights against Donald Trump to save Muslims from Eternia. sorry but the entertainment industry is dead they can't make anything anymore without shitting on it and its base material. they would 100% destroy it just like they have done to Star Wars. rather never see them touch anything good like He man
@@DrDeathpwnsu oh, yeah, make "dark" She-Ra a trans person. I'm sure the Hollywood clowns wouldn't $#!+ themselves if they saw a treatment where the trans person was a villain. Lol Oh, wait, they'd *lose their f♡€¥ing minds* !!! I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from here! LMAO
@@shawnarthur5921 Of course... But the more I think about a potential fourth sword it would be more like... trying to turn a bug into a feature. Skeletor even having a sword was more depicted in the toys than in the cartoon if I recall, but either way, the dark sword is kind of uninteresting because it doesn't actually turn anyone into a super powered version of themselves that we've seen. It just all becomes plot holes on top of plot holes.
Crazy how it became such a difficult project to finally get going again, but the 80's version is a "Cult classic ", unfortunately they were limited to the actual characters they were allowed to use!, plus the budget wasn't really that much, but it has it's moments, looking forward to seeing this new version finally!, maybe if it does well we could get "Thunder-cats" or maybe even "Gargoyles " movie, be interesting to see what they decide to go for next, there's definitely an audience out there for this..just waiting very patiently 😉 🤞 (great work on this video)
It's funny how complicated they make it. He-man has 2 seasons worth of material all they have to do is follow the story and make it realistic and they will have a great money making movie.
Agreed, except many of the episodes were childish (I'm thinking about the Orko épisodes, the Widgets episodes and the episodes with some annoying random child). But the rest of the episodes were indeed good.
Also, why did they hire MCG in the first place? This guy has destroyed the Terminator franchise by directing Salvation. He shouldn't have been allowed to direct another epic/partly sci-fi franchise like He-man. It seems to me that the only reason that he was hired in the first place was because of possible studios favoritism.
I love how Hollywood makes a bad movie and says "I guess nobody wants to see a fantasy film." That's your take away?! (How do I cover up my huge mistake?...I'll just say it's the audience's fault! They didn't want to see a fantasy film! ...Yeah, that's the ticket!)
Right, the same people who gave us star ward & ninja turtles couldn't pull off thunder cats, master of the universe but give us creepy remakes for decades now. lol
@@ComicBookGuy420 The word about the new He man is that it’s going to be mainly about Tela and not much to do with Heman. It’s going to be a liberal wet dream so it’s going to be shit
Eragon... are you effin kiddin‘ me? As if the movie wasn’t disappointing enough, it’s also supposedly the reason we didn’t get Nicolas cage as skeletor!? Smh
If they give us all the nostalgic and classic characters we all want and make it visually appealing it is still be a step up from the original even if they f*** it up
Wow! As a life long He-Man fan I must say, well done sir! You've done your homework and I learned a couple things I didn't even know. I have been following MOTU my whole life and I want my kids to experience the thrill of seeing a live action Adam/He-Man. They're all teens now, but we've bonded over the old cartoons forever. I am SUCH a big fan in fact, that my mother was in the Air Force and worked on base, in Van Nuys California, with the creator. He made me a personal lithograph of He-Man and hand wrote a message on it for me. He also gave me a castle greyskull and snake mountain as a gift. Unfortunately, just 10 years later, my mom fell on hard times and lost a storage unit that it all was stored in. I have spent the last 15 years trying to find that piece of art, much to my dismay. When the news came out in April about Centenio being cast, my kids and I had a good "hell yeah" moment. I seriously hope this film gets made and it's everything hard core fans like myself have come to expect. Great video!
Thanks for watching! To think that the signed lithograph is out there somewhere is maddening. Hope it finds it's way back to you, either way it's a wonderful memory!
in this day and age these "dropped scripts" if still legally available should all go either into like a podcast or a fanfiction format...or maybe audiobooks. These videos are so thorough and amazing that truly the only losers if this is possible is hollywood and its studios. The world would be in awe if these became a staple and make the spoken word to new heights. Thank you so much for all your hard work as always.
Because He Man's masculinity and impressive musculature are the only things that now Hollywood actors cannot achieve so they will rely on cgi and muscle suits.
I think Jason O'Mara could play He-Man. Or possibly Liam Hemsworth. Or Charlie Hunnam. Maybe Nathan Jones. Or why not Sam Worthington? Travis Fimmel? Kind of depends on what age they're making He-Man. I imagine they're making him look sub-30. I think, Jon Call (Jujimufu), Jeff Nippard, and Marcus Follin (the Golden One) all have good physiques for playing He-Man but I don't know if they can act and the last mentioned guy is very open with his political opinions which wouldn't fly in Hollywood.
Absolutely NOT!!! Noah Centineo as HE-MAN?!?!?!? WORST CASTING EVER!!! I want a petition to cancel the film or change the casting AT ONCE! Who's with me?
It wasn't only Covid that killed the movie. Netflix marketshare dropped due to increased competition from other streaming services and for unfortunate decisions like "Cuties", so all of the sudden they're not willing to put up half the budget for a MOTU film. The excitement for this film dropped almost instantly when Noah Whoever was cast as the lead, so nobody has any confidence the film will succeed. Sony themselves said "this movie will be released March 2021 or not at all," so with less than a month to go, it's not at all.
@@RockandrollNegro Except it was revealed a few weeks back that development is back on so... Also Netflix broke through 200m subs in Q4 2020, so you're wrong on that too.
I was born in 83 so He-Man and She-Ra were my heroes. All these movie ideas seem terrible. The 80’s movie had some things right but they left out too many characters. Instead of trying to change so much from the 80’s cartoon and comics, they should use that. Keep the magic and the same story pretty much. If they can’t do that then leave it alone.
Omg finally finally someone who gets it!!! Filmations catchiness and light tone can obviously be brought to an adult version of the same feel without changing the magic! It’s amazing how many people can love something and not have the first clue as to why they actually love it. You’re awesome man.
Speaking for myself, I DON'T CARE about the script. It HAS to be in Eternia! The characters HAVE to look something CLOSE to the figures! I DON''T CARE if they are completely CGI. I HAVE to see THEM fighting and doing the things I did playing with them. There HAS to be the playset's seen. Leave out Hordak and all from him forward and stick to the originals before him. Save him and his clan for part 2. Don't need all that for the first. They are putting too much emphasis on this and should be simple. Give us Eternia. Give us something as close to the figures as possible. Let them fight, show us the surroundings as close as possible, let us SEE them flying in the Wind Raider, driving Battle Ram and Attak Trak. We get anything like that and every father that played with these WILL have their sons and daughters in the theater. Multiple times. There is NOT a one of us that fell in love with this line, these character and toys because of any script. We didn't take them off the cards and have a script telling us what they was going to do or say. We made our own script. All we've had for this is that atrocious attempt years ago. That wasn't the actors fault. It wasn't even the writers fault. Other than putting it on earth. Nothing about that movie was what we played with. The outfits, short of Skeletor and He-Man was NOT what we played with. We don't love these for what they are going to be, we love them because of what they WAS! What they was, was an escape. They was a way for us to use OUR imaginations. A way for us to let them do anything we wanted them to. We just need to see THEM moving. THEM breathing. Hear THEM talking. They can bake cakes for 3 hours and I'll go watch as long as I get to see THEM! It's simple. We don't need Titanic. We don't need Dances with wolves. We don't need Shakespeare.
@@chaseroush6503 For sure. That would do it. Or they can play songs 5 and 6 from music card 1 of a Yamaha TYU-40 on repeat throughout for all I care. LOL If it started out black screen with the Filmation sounds completed, then bring up the vintage "Filmation" logo in color letter by letter, start the theme song as they are taking off one letter at a time. Then keep the screen black with the theme lightened down, let us hear a loud "I HAVE THE POWER" right into a Battle Cat growl and the sword moving upward, starting to lighten up the screen while scrolling down to a fully lit living, breathing, He-Man setting on a living , breathing, Battle Cat, there would be roofs coming off theaters. If fans can just see what they held in their hands, completely capturing their imaginations so many years ago, walking, talking and breathing there would be grown men around the world coming out of theaters crying harder than a 2019 3 year old leaving Wal Mart without whatever piece of junk toy they are carrying these days. Give us Kevin Smith and his heart directing this and get the characters as close to the toys as possible and let us see this.
This is why we get crappy movies with no replay value. When content doesn't matter and you just want "eye-candy" on the big screen, it ends up with a crappy Transformers-like movie (they all sucked hard aside from the first one) or any of the X-Men movies. X-Men is my "He-Man." I've wanted nothing more than to see my favorite characters on the big screen since I was 10yo but FOX and Bryan Singer screwed that up royally. Script is important and a few of these writers just seem like they want to remake the story in their vision, something that provides great revenue for both Mattel and the studio in merchandise/toy sales and not something that actual fans will want to see and universally enjoy (old and new fans). However, I think the real problem falls more on the studios that keep picking up this property and then they don't allow the directors or producers to create the vision that's been written on the page. ... and trust me, with superhero movies as big as they are right now, you need a great script or else you will end up with a low budget B-rated version of this movie (like both Power Rangers movies) and that is not what fans want to see.
I admire your passion and share your love for the original He-man/universe. The 80s has a wealth of great source materials from cartoons and toylines to make into big blockbuster Hollywood movies if done correctly. Now if only I had one hundred million pounds lying behind the sofa I'd finance this project and support our dreams.
@@tonyholguin832 You are confusing films with movies. Films are a more in depth look at life. Movies are a release from life. Both based, like all forms of art, on life. What you are talking about is a mixture of realism with fantasy. I, like most of the fans of this line, want to be taken back. Which is what toys do, or whatever it was when times was more "simple". It's why the influx on old toys is so high now. None of us true fans of anything such as this, expect to see reality with this. We want to see what we used to use to pass the time with and let our imaginations loose with just being, and don't care if it is explaining the universe. I'll go watch a documentary for that. I want to see what I had to make myself be. Not all movies has to be a cinematic masterpiece. Anything like this falls into that category of just needs to be seen. The real problem with movies this day and age is the companies making them. They lack the imagination to put out anything new, but have the money to put out anything that will make them a profit. The people with any real imagination can't afford to put out anything decent. It's not like it used to be. Now everyone is so spoiled, they have to have everything perfect or it sucks. That is the real reason you won't see a Texas CM, original Friday the 13th, Star Wars or any low budget made movie that is worth mentioning. Because people are too spoiled now. Star Wars has how much money spent on it and they are still bringing back people that died to make a halfway decent story line. None of which will EVER be included with the original 3, no matter how much money is spent on them. I never got into the X-men or Transformers myself as a kid. I can however watch any of those movies now, in or out of sequence one after the other at any given time. I enjoyed each for what they where, not expecting Wolverine to make a presidential speech and knowing that Optimus isn't coming to save us anytime soon. I'd also rather pull up The Toxic Avenger or Alligator as watch pretty much anything that is put out these days. As far as that goes, like most older B-movies, the old knock off toys are for the most part, more desirable and more expensive now than the big name toy makers toys are. Movies are a release from reality. Nothing more, nothing less.
My parents still have my old He Man figures. I remember getting them in my Easter basket in the late 80s and I was always bummed that my brother got He Man and the battle cat while I got Adam and the cowardly lion. But boy does that take me back.
I actually hopped that they wouldn't make this movie. Because I honestly don't think they can make the movie correctly. I fear they will attempt to shoehorn in Marxist woke feminist agenda. I don't see the people swelling the ranks of Hollywood keeping themselves from doing such a thing in a movie named He-Man. I think the very name of such a movie being made will incite attack, infiltration and pollution of the very concept of the movie by these feminazis and cultural Marxist. I just don't see it as a good thing that it's being made in this age. I think it would have been much better to wait until the Paradigm Shift has happened and a new age of culture has begun. The vast majority of the individuals in Hollywood are not capable of understanding the very concept behind He-Man his world or the characters in it.
Very well said. I grew up with He man and liked the movie as well. 1000% they would infest it with forced wokeness...Hollywood is trash at this point and full of marxist types.
this is why i always say this and GI Joe should be epic high definition animated movies thats on another level.....live action is hard to pull off....i think Xmen has pulled off the look perfectly and Marvel is a close second...but i agree live action would be very hard to pull off the same look...plus it has a high chance of looking ridiclous
@@sfcd4757 Live action X-Men pulled off the look perfectly? You're joking right? If you believe that you've obviously never seen the animations or read the comics. They took a 6 foot 3 inch tall when barefoot Redbone black woman with a body that's a cross between a professional Olympic gymnast and a swimsuit model and stuffed her into "Halle Berry". They took a southern belle with the same height and build and stuffed her into a Junior High student that's a little on the small side. Not to mention they got most of the characters personalities wrong. Pretty much all they did was look up what the powers of the characters were and that they were all in a school then. That was it they didn't do any other research.
That's exactly what I thought. It sounded so very epic! They could have split it into 2 or even 3 movies and made a killing while still keeping their precious release date and at a somewhat lower cost. But that's Hollywood for you - they've lost their spine in the last decade or two, refusing to gamble on risks. Instead, they only want to invest in safe bets, which is why we see so many lame reboots, remakes and retakes on safe properties.
I would kill just to get to see that 3rd Arch for the '02 cartoon run. I was so pissed as a young teen watching that as it aired and heard of the cancellation at the peak of the story.
@@aaronrus It's almost as bad as conventional anime. You get a great start in season 1. Then season 2 builds up to complete an arch and then you're left hanging on to hopes of a season 3 in some kind of disappointed agony/expectation of awesomeness Limbo for the rest of your life.
I would kill just to see them have been able to develop Teela and Adam into the canonical battle couple they are meant to be. After the snake man season - to continue in a grudge war; they could have gone harder into it, to show Adam having to make harder choices, to learn what it'd take to become King. Have his father call him in on the war room talks as heir apparent. Have Teela learn that her mother and father are trapped in an I love you, but I can't be with you style relationship that might as well be a long distance marriage (and yeah, I think it's Man At Arms, not Fisto) Have her come close to learning Adam's secret or actually be let in on it, when he realizes with her burgeoning powers as the Sorceress next in line, she can more than take care of herself (She is the witch to his warrior, which mimics the Greyskull/OG Sorceress relationship like a mirror) Maybe have them grow to decide on being a romantic couple definitely, but not quite get to the engaged/married part. So the audience would have something to look forward to if they ever want to do another version of the series, to continue the best known canon. (It would also allow potential for He-Ro to be their son, rather than canonically Adora's - that part never made sense to me... unless they're going to do the REALLY old school "I'll lose my powers if we actually get some... so thank you for marrying me; but it's a good thing you've got that big metal belt on honey") Would also love to see either Silverhawks (not butchered like Michael Bay) or Thundercats live action (CGI can be mixed if necessary) just as long as it doesn't have "roar" in the title. Who doesn't want to see Monstarr? (Michael Ironside could play the chief, that'd be awesome - and if they do Thundercats within the next maybe 4 years, they could get the actor that played Onemaus from Spartacus series as Panthro. Just a thought. It'd be fun to see Emanuelle Chiquri - I know I butchered that name - play Cheetara. She already did it once. Get James Marsden to play Tigra, no... wait; Lion-O. That way they can stick with his habit of playing "lead" male characters who still get dumped ; )
Soo many different writer's, script's, ideas, studios, producers and too many hands of all different stories dipped in that this movie sounds like it will never be made.
Rich Evans' sleazy hollywood exec. voice: "Hey, here's an idea.. let's put he-man on earth disguised as a-- eh, as a... a high school quarterback! And let's get skeletor in there too! Let's disguise him as, uh... as a-- a sleazy hollywood film producer! We won't even have to build any sets!!"
image Skeletor come to earth to ruin earths most loved movie franchise "Stat wars" to introduce "him in an big new triology of movies as Eternias hero that saves it from the evil Price Adam. This is something the 80s Cartoon skeletor would do
Gotta admire the old He-man action figures - they were miles ahead of any other toy in the 80's .... The Power of Grayskull documentary is brilliant and worth watching ... it is a pity that they just couldn't do any feature films that could do justice to the original toyline and the original animated series ...
DC comics and Funko did a small run of Batman action figures recently that were HEAVILY influenced by MOTU. They are pretty fn sweet if you ever get a chance look them up.
Oh, you people of the past and your quaint notions..... "So now.... **finally**.... after 15 years, 6 directors, and 12 writers, we're at a place where **March 2021** fans will **finally** get to sit in a cinema seat, look up to the big screen, see Prince Adam stand before Castle Greyskull, raise his sword to the heavens and yell, "DAMN YOU, COVID!!!!"
It’s 2022, and I’m still waiting for this movie. I’m a huge fan He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I watched the original cartoon, the 2002 remake, the movie which I watched on Amazon Prime, and the recent Netflix cartoon. I love He-Man and Skeletor and have been dying to them on the big screen.
The 'Noah' guy...he doesnt have the look,the face,the body type or anything to be playing He-Man....out of so many other capable actors out there....that really sucks!
Apparently, one is scheduled to release March of 2021. I'm not sure I'm on board with the guy they cast to play him, though. Some kid named Noah Centineo. While it's possible to bulk up a bit to play him, he doesn't look like the character at all. I'll gladly watch the film, but, unless they do an overwhelmingly better job casting the rest of the characters, I don't think it will be that good. It makes me even more nervous knowing that Hollywood will forcibly shoehorn a lot of really stupid P.C culture motivated shit into it. Not gonna get my hopes up because nowadays it's not entirely out of the realm of reality for the powers-that-be to come to the asinine decision to make He-Man a transgender and become She-Ra at the end of the film lol 3:20 On an unrelated note, I take it we're all just gonna ignore that they used the Neverending Story theme song to promote the release of the movie? LOL
Hope they can get this film together. Loved seeing Frank Langella , because he gave an oscar worthy performance as Skelator in the original film. This is a rich story and his performance hinted at how much material there is in this franchise if they keep it based in Eternia.
in a scene showing the past , you could show a young adam on an archealogical expedition in a cave where he and his black archeogical teacher find heiroglyphs? that lead him to find out about Castle Greyskull
Oh yes! I love He-Man. I ran home from school everyday to catch it on tv. I pucked up the complete series on DVD for my kids. I just noticed that they have The Never Ending Story music in the He-Man movie commercial.
It should never been cancelled. But then again, why I cut out TV at this point, anything I enjoyed kept getting cut short. So now I don't bother. I still re-watch that 2000 version for inspiration.
I gave my kids my old he man figures. They've been playing with them for weeks. Actually, months. I even bought new rubber bands and fixed the legs on 4 of the figures that had broken due to being nearly 40 years old. They beg me every day to watch another episode from the original series. Sometimes good is just good. We've got new iterations of space invaders and pac man in arcades. I don't envy someone trying to make this movie. The battle between who's got the money and who wants what type of take on it: gritty versus humor and nostalgia. It would be a tough balance. I walk down the toy aisle today, and unless it's a lego product based on a movie, you're out of luck. Look at the characters! They're awesome. Each one is unique and inventive- that's what made playing with them fun. They trigger the imagination. My kids love the original small comics. No characters get killed off in them. Kill Tri-Klops? Are you serious? I liked the idea of a tone similar to Thor: Ragnarok - but will that tone work?We've had so many iterations of Batman. Some good, some bad. Somebody will just have to take a swing at a He-Man movie.
I grew up with He-Man and it was easily my favourite cartoon and toy in the 80's. I remember a rare family outing to the cinema to see the live movie - I was so disappointed even as a child. It was too soft and Disneyfied. Seeing Skeletor with eye balls and a plasticine face, there was no darkness or menace. Hated every minute. Did they think they were creating something quality like Labyrinth? I think so, but it missed the mark by a mile.
I’m glad they didn’t make the sequel because that sounded absolute rubbish. The original he-man film wasn’t mentioned in this is the cost to budget this film was split between Masters of the universe and Superman for quest for peace both films weren’t very good. The part about being on Earth was completely wrong they ignored quite a lot of the source material and where was Prince Adam we never saw the transformation into that so it’s almost like he was always he-man no one knew anything about Prince Adam never was mentioned where was the Royal family et cetera? And it was almost To be a little bit like Star Wars. But it didn’t really take into account the source material I wouldn’t call it Disneyfied but I can see why the criticism is there. The greyscale movie is actually sounded a lot better but I think if you’re a fan of the source material it would’ve been brilliant I would’ve loved a live action film of secret of the sword because I think that would’ve been amazing and I like the fact they did it as five episodes as well as the film for Sheila because obviously that included things that may not of been in the film but yeah I was slightly disappointed although I did get to see one of my favourite Star Trek actors and the form of Robert Duncan McNeil who was Kevin and in her screen debut Courteney Cox Arquette of friends boyfriend. The plot was just a little bit rubbish.
Seriously! after almost an hour of watching this you're going to end it revealing that some no-name kid that looks like a damn Jonas brother is playing He-Man. Seriously!?
I saw Rossio do a talk in Vancouver and when he was showing us his writing process he was using his MOTU script. I could actually read the opening image where it's of the studio logo growing over with vines.
Can't hold that against the movie my son has fallen asleep at every movie I've ever brought him to except Lego Batman the movie and that was only cause him and a little girl from his class were throwing popcorn at each other for an hour and a half.
They'll never beat the scene in 1988's Masters of the Universe where He-Man, Man at Arms, et al were squatting in the bushes behind a KFC. Cinema gold.
Was scrolling through to see if anyone else picked that up. Also the Supervoid has used music from The Mysterious Cities of Gold in various places throughout the vid. Classic series.
The He-man movie was only bad because they left off too many of the original cartoon characters. Langella was an awesome Skeletor. Hopefully if they ever come out with a new movie they cast Chris Hemsworth as He-man. Nice vid btw. Lots of info
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yeah the franchise would've died ...Dead ! I honestly feel that it would have altered the universe ...I mean if u really think about it ? If that crap would of came out ...we would literally NOT be havin this conversation...This thread would NOT ...This RU-vid video would NOT exist ...so our comments would NOT EXIST ...NOR POSSIBLY EVER EVEN BE THOUGHT ABOUT ! 🤔 He man is a baaaaad mothafxxxa ! 😂
grant robinson yeah, but they’d still find a way to fuck it up today if they made it now. With today’s snowflakes, it wouldn’t stand a chance. Every Hollywood producer, writer, and director has to cater to these candy ass SJWs, whether they want to or not.
The greatest evil in the universe is a Hollywood executive? That sounds fairly accurate, if you ask me. Have you seen the insanely, self-important social engineering junk they've been pumping out?
Here in February 2021, the cameras haven't started rolling and Centino has taken about 5 other roles on since... ... He's still bulked out like crazy though, so maybe one day soon?!
Thank you for such a detailed and in depth documentary on this. As someone who grew up a huge original generation He Man fan, I really want to see a new movie! Just think how many great movies we could have out of these screenplays and directors of He Man... Sad....
the studios have to listen to directors/writers that are actual fans! The Game of Thrones meets Marvel, L.O.T.R, and He Man universe vibe would be the one!!
thank you for making this video. Great to understand a lot more about my favorite cartoon. Please balance your sound levels with the sampled videos though, they kind of were all over the place.
Sam Jones would have been a good He Man. Back in the day. I imagine a MOTU movie to look like the old Flash Gordon movie somewhat. Sometimes it’s cheesy but it’s so good! Guilty pleasure of mine.
Excellent job on this project! You do a fantastic job of making your backstories from every project come alive! I admire your dedication to each project and how you take the time and care to share as many details as possible with us! I love He-man and I certainly hope that we will get to see a new live action movie soon! Here’s hoping that it becomes something that will be worth the wait!
He-man could have ascended from a Star Wars cashgrab to the latest revolution in cinema, only to be possibly left as one of those Netflix originals. Truly the tragedy of the millenium
If they make Keldor and adam brothers I’ll set fire to stuff! The hamlet stuff works better. Plus if they makes them brothers does that leave room for she-ra?
Very stupid. They could have Keldor be a younger brother of Randor. Keldor has a spell, or alchemy compound administered against Randor and the royal family. Adam is exiled or thought to be dead. Tee-la and Man-at-Arms secretly take a frail King Randor to Teela-Na Sorceress to find a way to restore him. Adam learns from Duncan and the Sorceress of the Legend of Grayskull. He-Man rises and the battle begins in earnest against nephew and uncle. This is tried and true since Ancient Egypt (Heru versus Set). It is like The Lion King, nephew avenges father and fights battle heartened uncle. No need to change relationships.
