[From The Uncanny Valley]

But that was a cheap ass cartoon, not a $200 million movie.
Also, it got crazy promotion from the feminists and rainbow people because it pandered to their ideologies.

It actually failed and Netflix removed it at a loss iirc

I don't think Amazon really gives a shit what it gets at the box office. They'll brag about minutes viewed once it hits prime and on to the next

Netflix's infinite money glitch allows them to quickly dump anything not instantly doing Stranger Things numbers.

It's pretty amazing that He-Man, by far the most fag coded cartoon of the 80's, failed in 2026.

 

[LordofCringe7206 Vol. 2]

Seeing Mike and Jay playing with their old action figures that they had kept all these years was kind of actually sentimental. For being nihilistic Gen Xers they still are human deep down inside.

Was weird to hear them talk about the rise of the man babies. Given their 2016 Ghostbusters review, the prequel/sequel reviews, and mr plinkett. They practically gave a voice to manbabies.

Hollywood wants to reuse existing IP because it has a built in fan base, but then wants to change it to appeal to a broader market, alienating the original fans, and not getting a new market. People should be free to call out the destruction to IP, without being belittled.

"No one under 45 cares about He-Man or this movie"

Rude. There are dozens of us. Dozens!

Anyway I had a great time with this movie. The general consensus I see is "Holy crap, I actually enjoyed this movie." RLM didn't really provide any new or unique commentary to this movie, but I did get hit in the nostalgia feels seeing them play with the old MOTU toys. Oddly wholesome.

I'm still pissed about 1899.

They completely screwed over the creators of one of the shows that put them on the production map and canceled the show after one season when Dark itself started out slow and took a bit to pick up steam via word of mouth.

Because this is a movie pretending to be a game.
They're spending money in all the wrong places.

God of War was ruined by the 10 minute long, unsuitable cutscenes which constantly took you out of the game.

Mario Bros 1993 is the best Mario Bros. movie

As an adaptation of Mario, it was terrible. As a weird 90s scifi movie, it was awesome.

Hoskins, Luguizamo, and Hopper chewed the scenery and the design of the world was super interesting.

 

[Dragged Into Sunlight]

>erm when you die it's over, there's nothing after that, lmao

I was super annoyed with them by that bit because that episode very specifically has a scene where they detect strange energy coming from the planet the asteroid is orbiting and heavily implying that is where the next emanation is for those people. I guarantee they were fiddling on their phones while watching that episode.

>Rich simps for Janeway

Even Mulgrew talks about how Janeway was written extremely unevenly and wildly swings in characterization to the point she suggests that Janeway could be bipolar.

Yeah, these guys were fairly damn supportive of the woke metoo anti-manbaby trend. They went really soft in those days (2016-2022) and played it safe mostly until around Picard/Acolyte when it got safe again to bash the bullshit woke.

Wasn't that long ago they pulled the starving african shit and I'm not convinced that was an ironic criticism. I've liked their 2026 videos a lot, but they can't play too innocent on being a part of that awful trend now. I suppose they can't come out and say they were too soft against it now.

Jay and Mike acted afraid to admit that casting Jared Leto as Skeletor was a horrible idea, but they kept hinting at him being box office poison. Mike and Jay oddly blamed #MeToo for the woke era of big blockbusters in the recent He-man review. When it was the Obama administration that kickstarted by encouraging LGBT and BLM propaganda in comics and kids cartoons. My favorite was the Steven universe PSA with the bully that was against interracial racial marriage but not gay marriage.

 

[I'm a Silly]

What did Brandon do?

Same as Hasan Piker, sex tourism.

So, unpopular opinion, but I think Jared Leto is overhated. The only bad thing about him is that he's a method actor weirdo, but so was Marlon Brando--and that guy was more SJW. His Joker is hated mostly from bad design and writing choices, which reflects more on the producers and Snyder for approving those dailies. He wasn't great in BR 2049 and Tron: Ares, but those movies were pretty boring in general, so it's not like his performances stood out as particularly bad. He doesn't behave like a Rachel Zegler or a Milly Alcock, whom actually deserve the hate because they are sabotaging their own productions.

I regard him with indifference.

Those gratuitous shots of Rich slobbering into fistfuls of bacon burgers and fries beg to differ.

Kid me didn't know that, OK? But then, adult me knows damn well that you're wrong because Thunder Cats was even worse.

If the filmmaker's intent was to turn this movie into a narrative about "toxic masculinity," then they failed miserably, lol.

He-Man saves the day by punching the absolute shit out of Skeletor.

Also, don’t forget the director is Travis Knight who has kept LAIKA afloat this whole time with that crazy Nike heir money. Dude can make anything he wants whenever.

I knew the "manbaby" comment would upset certain people.

He-Man is not equivalent to what Star Wars used to mean culturally. It just isn't. It was trash for undiscerning kids at the time it was made. Nobody has to tolerate pop culture vandalism or bad movies, but saying hypothetical things like, "He-Man the movie didn't respect the lore," should embarrass anyone who says it.

One of the Midnight's Edge hacks went on a retarded, performative spergout on a recent steam about how awful and woke and shitty and disrespectful the movie was. That guy should kill himself. But he won't. He'll just keep making low-effort garbage streams to try and monetize the cUlTuRe WaRz.

 

[HowlingChasm]

and mr plinkett.

I don’t know if it was the actual intent of the character but it’s funny how I thought the idea of Plinkett was that you literally had to be a psychopath to care so much about Star Wars/Trek as to make an hour long dissection of a movie, and now that’s just culture.

Are there cheesy and campy aspects to He-Man? Duh. However, the show made a lot of kids happy back in the day, captured their imaginations, and the show did in fact teach some good moral lessons to them too. And a lot of adults today have that memory of how the show (and toys) made them feel back in the day, and it's a good memory. So, for that, I don't think it's fair to write off He-Man as "crap." Plus, the lore in He-Man is interesting, too.

Lou Scheimer of Filmation was an interesting dude. He was indeed tasked to create a show to sell toys, but the dude appeared to genuinely want to make something a little bit more than that for kids, and I think the character of He-Man himself is representative of that.

As an adult, I can go back and watch the 80s cartoon and think, "Yeah, a lot of this is cheesy and definitely made in a simpler time, but heck it's practically Shakespeare compared to what's made for children now."

That said, Midnight's Edge hasn't been interesting since their Fant-Four-Stick videos from over a decade ago. They used to be more like independent journalists for media, and then they lost relevancy. Now they're trying to get clicks for culture war stuff.

I have nostalgia for He-Man and the MOTU brand, and I thought the new movie was a ton of fun, and I don't think the humor was mocking the brand or its characters.
