"That's the way I like it."
lol He Man was a cheesy kid's show and I think the voice they used fit the tone of the show. He was voiced by the guy who played the Mayor on Mama's Family by the way. He was on Star Trek a time or two as well. |

Right, I get it. I mean, they're using a husky voiced female for they're hype song. It is what it is.

The biggest problem with most kids shows from that era is that they basically had to be suitable for 3 year olds. I remember watching an interview with one of the writers of Super Friends talking about how hamstrung they were by the BSP. No violence. Even hints of danger were sometimes too much for the censors.
Shit, it wasn't just kids shows either. Compare tv shows from the 50s to the 70s. You went from Gunsmoke to the Waltons and from Mike Hammer to Macmillan and Wife. P.S. I seem to remember the bad guy from Dungeons and Dragons having a scary voice. Galtar featured Brock Peters as the voice of the main villain. Kind of shoots a hole in my theory, but on the other hand neither of those shows were as successful as He Man either. |

Apparently Kevin Smith is pulling a bait and switch making Teela as the primary protagonist not Prince Adam/He-Man |

The audience reviews I've read seem to agree the animation and voice acting is good to great, the story is meh to okay, and the negative seems to be a bait and switch from the promotion.
I'll likely still watch but adjust my expectations knowing what we now know. |
