He-man in general is one of those characters who I always found would be problematic to do in live action.which is why I feel he is better set for animated films because of his trademark physique.i mean where can they find a bodybuilder who can act?
Maybe the idea behind the script itself is to get the audience more familiar with the franchise first; by demistifying the essence of the franchise, conceptually speaking (sword, sorcery, sci-fi... Too much to digest for the average viewer??). Hence the story that introduces Adam to our world, which, by the way, is also his mother's.
he crashes on earth on a small town in the middle of usa, and gets picked up by an old farmer and his wife. He discovers he is really strong....wait, you said HE-MAN right?
I don't like the Earth elements being added to be honest. Luke Skywalker was from Tattooine and nobody had an issue. With that, the CGI cartoon altered the origin a bit and allowed Adam to be an audience surrogate and learn about the mythic He-Man/Grayskull stuff along with the audience. I'm hoping they opt for something closer to that.
I hope they don't make He-Man gay...it could happen. I feel like He-man should stay as manly as possible. If they have to, then make Percaedo gay...or bi..or tri!.
Terrible synopsis. They're basically going for a Superman movie story. Plus, this would also imply ditching the Adam/He-Man secret identity aspect of the character. They are going to butcher it..but hey, if it, by some miracle, becomes a box office success, at least it would be good for the franchise. We'll see..but I'm not very optimistic..
