The dude can't be vetoed. Kevin Smith repeatedly said they were his bosses and the story ideas had to be approved by the Netflix side and Mattel side. is movie bro.
I hear you, but yes, bosses can be over ruled in some cases. Perhaps the word veto is too strong, but here you go: In David’s version, Adam survived; robbed of his ability to become He-Man, he spends the rest of the series figuring out how to build himself back up to his former glory.
“Kevin thought that was terrific,” said David. “And then he one-upped me and said, ‘What if we don’t just break the Sword of Power? What if we actually break Adam, too? What if he dies, when we flash forward a few years we really get to explore that — also what is it like for a world without He-Man?'” https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/he-man-masters-of-the-universe-revelation-kevin-smith-netflix-1235026831/
Wow. The more I readed the synopsis, the more I hated it. ¿Nine years old? Bad. ¿Earth? Awful. ¿20 FREAKING YEARS in Earth without the sword!?!?? Worst of the worst. Come on, just find a director and a writer who likes and respects the franchise. This is gonna be a worst aberration than the knights of the zodiac movie.

Ummmm yea but "one-upped me" means he came up with something better than me. He came up with an idea better than me, the opposite of a vetoed or overruled.

Like I said, perhaps the word veto was still too strong. Still, you are agreeing that killing Adam was the better idea?

Yea Adam sacrificing himself is the better idea to me for people who like that kind of story.
For people who didn't like that kind of story I think the result would be the same with keeping Adam alive. Adam was only gone for episodes 2 and 3. When Adam came back late in episode 4 and was full on in 5 thru 9 there were fans that were still angry and wanted He-Man, hated Teela and her haircut and hated the spotlight on her. I don't think the fans who didn't like the story would have changed their minds much and thought it was a great story because Adam was alive through 2 and 3.

So is Adam a reverse Star Lord or something? I suppose he's on Earth so he can learn the "lingo" and come back to Eternia as a quippy, 21st century surfer dude who listens to 80s MP3s all day?

That is not speculation, that is exactly their reasoning in their treatment.
I really don't see why Earth is necessary. They could've just borrowed from the Netflix cartoon, and just had an amnesiac Adam being taken in by a jungle tribe as a child. He grows up, realizes who he really is, and saves Eternia.
