Hmm. Masters of the Universe. Main character: He Man. Target audience for this project expect to see: He Man. Lets now write a story where you do not see much the main character that your target audience expects to see?? Yes. Do THAT. Im a huge Smith fan, but this one I cant reason out his thinking. Lets do another TMNT next, but only follow April O'Neil and some random cop investigating a crime wave, while showing as precious little of the boys as possible. Jesus. Im on ****ing FIRE with these amazing pitches. Hollywoke here I come. Edit: At least Netflix appears to be up front with their description of the show: "After a calamitous battle fractures Eternia, Teela and an unlikely alliance must prevent the end of the Universe in this sequel to the 80's classic." So yeah, Teela and The Masters of The Universe. Miss me with that nonsense. Last edited by Wallcrawler; 07-24-2021 at 12:39 PM.. |

I just rewatched the trailer. I’m pretty sure it’s entitled “masters of the universe”. So I guess it’s not supposed to center around he-man. So not quite the bait and switch, or maybe it is. Sorry if a repost. I’ll rewatch it tonight and maybe see all the episodes awake. Don’t hold me to it.

So for people having no idea what MoTU is, sure. But Kevin Smith damn well knew his target audience was fans of the original, and instead of delivering the goods, he laid a turd and mained his story with a reknowned sidekick character instead. |

So he tells me that Skeletor says call your champion, right. Then Teela shows up, gets promptly put on her ass, and then the chefs kiss is delivered. "Youre not the champion. Youre just his cheerleader." Lmmfgdao if thats true, because they went with his cheerleader as the main AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING WITH THAT LINE THAT THEY KNOW TEELA WASNT SHIT. Did that line actually get said? |

Same. Even the show was heman and the masters of the universe. That said I won't get upset unless the 2nd half is hardly heman/prince Adam. That said they are telling a story with actual stakes too. I won't be able to convince anyone to watch it that's upset but I'd atleast see what's said when the season is complete. Thing is I don't know when the second half starts...

I really liked seeing the secondary characters getting shown,such as Whiplash,Webstor,Stinkor,Mer-Man,Moss-Man,Tri-Klops etc. Not to mention some of the stars that did their voices.Sorry,if that needed a spoiler tag.

Wow, what a shit take by Kevin Smith.
We will see who the hardcore fans are, because if you say Oh theres not enough He Man, you dont get it and never understood the show, and there were episodes where he never became He Man. Guess what Kevin? I thought those ****ing episodes sucked too. Episodes that do not have the main character usually ****ing suck. Like, why does your project require hardcore fans to the point that they literally won't care about the total absence of the ****ing main character? Why dont you write a Spider Man story where he's just Peter Parker the whole time? Ill tell you why, because nobody gives a shit about the secret identity. Nobody pays to see Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne, and certainly not Prince ****ing Adam. The superhero alter ego is the draw, the reason we watch, and if you don't ****ing have it, you ****ed it up. I watched Masters of the Universe to see He Man doing He Man shit and beating the shit out of Skeletor and his henchmen. Its not a hard ****ing concept, and somehow it flew straight over his head. This was a golden opportunity for Smith to showcase his writing chops and make the nearly invincible superhero beating the shit out of the bad guys have some actual depth. Instead, he completely ****ing removed the challenge of doing that, and went with the weaker, more vulnerable Teela instead. A massive copout. Then if you call it out, youre not a fan and never understood the show? **** off, Silent Bob. Smith hasnt swung and missed this badly since Gigli and Jersey Girl. |
