HE-MAN - Cancelled Masters of The Universe Movies

[@haytonism]

Biggest mistake was making a he-man movie based around earth, just make it a fantasy conanesque movie in his home land.

I agree; do it right or don't do it. no Earth, unless you're starting with Marlana leaving in a rocket getting lost, crashing and being rescued from the wreckage by Randor. 🤔a mother's perspective on Prince Adam would be interesting. a sequel could have her flashback to home invasion and child abduction by Hordack.

[@youfuckinknowit]

You are all mistaken, you just cannot see the big picture; You don’t know what you want until they tell you. There is no “political ideology” supplemented in movies, it’s a reflection on societal norms and that society is your reality. This is the current year. If you see an “agenda” or some sort of bias in your media, there is something wrong with you. Perhaps you weren’t listening correctly, you clearly aren’t thinking correctly. Turn on, tune in and drop out, the MSM has your back! Or check over at Rotten Tomatoes. They have professional critics, working for the top studios and networks, offering honest and unbiased reviews. They will tell you how to feel. This is a renaissance of motion pictures! Occasionally, there will be an unhappy silly person (usually ugly) that labels a movie “a remake”, so negative! It takes thousands of people years and countless hours on computers to improve those OLD things. They are revitalizing these movies. We have the technology now to make them better! They were sorely lacking in effects (CGI). Those old “practical” effects are tired, and are -in fact, not practical at all. Once it is all digitized and given a healthy smattering of saturation, you will see how beautiful they are. And those scripts! Old! We don’t think that way anymore. The studios and networks have top people, experts with their thumbs on the pulse of society working tirelessly to revision these stories, to make them relevant in this current year. We cannot have anyone being offended by these old, antiquated ideas. We are better than that now. Now we can fix the misogynistic, racist, bigoted clearly broadcasted throughout ...with diversity casting. It is a step, (a very small one) in the correct direction. We will never be able to make up for all of the inequality though. Besides, the gender, (or lack there of) and race don’t matter. Most movies, (especially those for children) never establish the sexual orientation of the characters! The ones that do? Almost all of them are Cisgender!?! Children are so impressionable, they need to see the diversity and inclusion and have all the other genders and orientations represented. We know gender and race and sexual orientation are very important to everyone, so the story and casting must check all the boxes! We cannot exclude anyone. Of course, no one wants to see more caucasian men in movies, because that’s all we’ve ever had...and look where that got us! Now, we have to fix all these movies, because of the patriarchy. What a mess! With new and better effects, scripts that has been corrected to represent the diversity of today’s society and establish the sexual orientation of the characters within and have the offensive and wrong content edited out. They are giving the fans exactly what they want. Trust them.

Speaking for myself, I DON'T CARE about the script. It HAS to be in Eternia! The characters HAVE to look something CLOSE to the figures! I DON''T CARE if they are completely CGI. I HAVE to see THEM fighting and doing the things I did playing with them. There HAS to be the playset's seen. Leave out Hordak and all from him forward and stick to the originals before him. Save him and his clan for part 2. Don't need all that for the first. They are putting too much emphasis on this and should be simple. Give us Eternia. Give us something as close to the figures as possible. Let them fight, show us the surroundings as close as possible, let us SEE them flying in the Wind Raider, driving Battle Ram and Attak Trak. We get anything like that and every father that played with these WILL have their sons and daughters in the theater. Multiple times. There is NOT a one of us that fell in love with this line, these character and toys because of any script. We didn't take them off the cards and have a script telling us what they was going to do or say. We made our own script. All we've had for this is that atrocious attempt years ago. That wasn't the actors fault. It wasn't even the writers fault. Other than putting it on earth. Nothing about that movie was what we played with. The outfits, short of Skeletor and He-Man was NOT what we played with. We don't love these for what they are going to be, we love them because of what they WAS! What they was, was an escape. They was a way for us to use OUR imaginations. A way for us to let them do anything we wanted them to. We just need to see THEM moving. THEM breathing. Hear THEM talking. They can bake cakes for 3 hours and I'll go watch as long as I get to see THEM! It's simple. We don't need Titanic. We don't need Dances with wolves. We don't need Shakespeare.

Then keep the screen black with the theme lightened down, let us hear a loud "I HAVE THE POWER" right into a Battle Cat growl and the sword moving upward, starting to lighten up the screen while scrolling down to a fully lit living, breathing, He-Man setting on a living , breathing, Battle Cat, there would be roofs coming off theaters. If fans can just see what they held in their hands, completely capturing their imaginations so many years ago, walking, talking and breathing there would be grown men around the world coming out of theaters crying harder than a 2019 3 year old leaving Wal Mart without whatever piece of junk toy they are carrying these days.

[@tonyholguin832]

This is why we get crappy movies with no replay value. When content doesn't matter and you just want "eye-candy" on the big screen, it ends up with a crappy Transformers-like movie (they all sucked hard aside from the first one) or any of the X-Men movies. X-Men is my "He-Man." I've wanted nothing more than to see my favorite characters on the big screen since I was 10yo but FOX and Bryan Singer screwed that up royally. Script is important and a few of these writers just seem like they want to remake the story in their vision, something that provides great revenue for both Mattel and the studio in merchandise/toy sales and not something that actual fans will want to see and universally enjoy (old and new fans). However, I think the real problem falls more on the studios that keep picking up this property and then they don't allow the directors or producers to create the vision that's been written on the page. ... and trust me, with superhero movies as big as they are right now, you need a great script or else you will end up with a low budget B-rated version of this movie (like both Power Rangers movies) and that is not what fans want to see.

[@AlwaysBonpoint]

I admire your passion and share your love for the original He-man/universe. The 80s has a wealth of great source materials from cartoons and toylines to make into big blockbuster Hollywood movies if done correctly.

[@MrJadedGreen]

@@tonyholguin832 You are confusing films with movies. Films are a more in depth look at life. Movies are a release from life. Both based, like all forms of art, on life. What you are talking about is a mixture of realism with fantasy. I, like most of the fans of this line, want to be taken back. Which is what toys do, or whatever it was when times was more "simple". It's why the influx on old toys is so high now. None of us true fans of anything such as this, expect to see reality with this. We want to see what we used to use to pass the time with and let our imaginations loose with just being, and don't care if it is explaining the universe. I'll go watch a documentary for that. I want to see what I had to make myself be. Not all movies has to be a cinematic masterpiece. Anything like this falls into that category of just needs to be seen. The real problem with movies this day and age is the companies making them. They lack the imagination to put out anything new, but have the money to put out anything that will make them a profit. The people with any real imagination can't afford to put out anything decent. It's not like it used to be. Now everyone is so spoiled, they have to have everything perfect or it sucks. That is the real reason you won't see a Texas CM, original Friday the 13th, Star Wars or any low budget made movie that is worth mentioning. Because people are too spoiled now. Star Wars has how much money spent on it and they are still bringing back people that died to make a halfway decent story line. None of which will EVER be included with the original 3, no matter how much money is spent on them. I never got into the X-men or Transformers myself as a kid. I can however watch any of those movies now, in or out of sequence one after the other at any given time. I enjoyed each for what they where, not expecting Wolverine to make a presidential speech and knowing that Optimus isn't coming to save us anytime soon. I'd also rather pull up The Toxic Avenger or Alligator as watch pretty much anything that is put out these days. As far as that goes, like most older B-movies, the old knock off toys are for the most part, more desirable and more expensive now than the big name toy makers toys are. Movies are a release from reality. Nothing more, nothing less.

I've thought since Zemeckis' Beowulf that any He-Man film needed to be done with semi-realistic motion capture. I think this way you could not only capture the visual scope of the world and creatures without any separate blending elements between environments and characters, but you could also hire really interesting actors that might not have the look but would have the gravitas needed to make these somewhat larger-than-life characters come to life. Similar to how Ray Winstone, who really doesn't have the 'look' of Beowulf, but his dramatic flair added to dynamism of Beowulf.

I would kill just to see them have been able to develop Teela and Adam into the canonical battle couple they are meant to be. After the snake man season - to continue in a grudge war; they could have gone harder into it, to show Adam having to make harder choices, to learn what it'd take to become King. Have his father call him in on the war room talks as heir apparent. Have Teela learn that her mother and father are trapped in an I love you, but I can't be with you style relationship that might as well be a long distance marriage (and yeah, I think it's Man At Arms, not Fisto) Have her come close to learning Adam's secret or actually be let in on it, when he realizes with her burgeoning powers as the Sorceress next in line, she can more than take care of herself (She is the witch to his warrior, which mimics the Greyskull/OG Sorceress relationship like a mirror) Maybe have them grow to decide on being a romantic couple definitely, but not quite get to the engaged/married part. So the audience would have something to look forward to if they ever want to do another version of the series, to continue the best known canon. (It would also allow potential for He-Ro to be their son, rather than canonically Adora's - that part never made sense to me... unless they're going to do the REALLY old school "I'll lose my powers if we actually get some... so thank you for marrying me; but it's a good thing you've got that big metal belt on honey") Would also love to see either Silverhawks (not butchered like Michael Bay) or Thundercats live action (CGI can be mixed if necessary) just as long as it doesn't have "roar" in the title. Who doesn't want to see Monstarr? (Michael Ironside could play the chief, that'd be awesome - and if they do Thundercats within the next maybe 4 years, they could get the actor that played Onemaus from Spartacus series as Panthro. Just a thought. It'd be fun to see Emanuelle Chiquri - I know I butchered that name - play Cheetara. She already did it once. Get James Marsden to play Tigra, no... wait; Lion-O. That way they can stick with his habit of playing "lead" male characters who still get dumped ; )

The excitement for this film dropped almost instantly when Noah Whoever was cast as the lead, so nobody has any confidence the film will succeed.

Wow! As a life long He-Man fan I must say, well done sir! You've done your homework and I learned a couple things I didn't even know. I have been following MOTU my whole life and I want my kids to experience the thrill of seeing a live action Adam/He-Man. They're all teens now, but we've bonded over the old cartoons forever. I am SUCH a big fan in fact, that my mother was in the Air Force and worked on base, in Van Nuys California, with the creator. He made me a personal lithograph of He-Man and hand wrote a message on it for me. He also gave me a castle greyskull and snake mountain as a gift. Unfortunately, just 10 years later, my mom fell on hard times and lost a storage unit that it all was stored in. I have spent the last 15 years trying to find that piece of art, much to my dismay. When the news came out in April about Centenio being cast, my kids and I had a good "hell yeah" moment. I seriously hope this film gets made and it's everything hard core fans like myself have come to expect. Great video!

I also thought the writing was pretty good, especially considering he was like 16 when he started writing the series. Not as much "useless" as it is interesting. Character development definitely could have been improved though but again, not terrible writing. EDIT: I just read a comparison which highlighted the main similarities and differences between The Inheritance Cycle and Star wars. It was stated the Paolini did take some inspiration from Star Wars, but he took the effort to make it different. It does not "steal" the plot, in my opinion. It's mostly character parallels and the fact that both have a similar Empire. But the empire thing is used in so many stories: Hunger Games, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Divergent, and the list goes on. Even in the real world. It's a very common theme, my dude.
