I haven't watched it yet and I probably won't, ever. He man toys were my jam back in the day. they were probably the best value for the money out of any toy line. I never watched the original cartoon. it wasn't popular. not at all.
I think its funny Kevin Smith tried to come out with a litmus test to determine who are the hardcore fans. the he man cartoon had no fans. the toys could sell on their own and they came with digest sized comic books that featured better art than the TV show.
If you're a fan of He-Man you should listen to a Tom Kalinske interview. He was CEO of Mattel back in the early 80s. he saved the company by revitalizing matchbox cars, and rescuing Barbie. He-man was another disaster that he saved. Mattel originally bought rights to the
Conan the Barbarian movie. they had already started production on the figures. but they had to abandon the Conan name because the movie had a hard R rating. Instead of taking a loss, Kalinske decided to build a kid friendly barbarian brand from scratch.
