But saying that, i think, is a kin to saying Hitler is partly responsible for much of the modern technology we have today.

I almost dropped my buttered roll. That is quite an analogy there. 

@caliban I'm not sure if I should be sorry or not. I was using a bit (a lot) of hyperbole.

@kraken I bought my NE Two-Bad at Target. Soooooo yeah...dude seems to have come unglued.

@he-dad I hate to admit it but he kind of is. MOTUC, love it or hate it, got us to where we are now and I would trade my NE Skeletor, ToG Mikey or Origins Thunder Punch He-Man for any toy line.

It sucks we have to put up with his BS, but were in a good place now.

You may think I'm crazy bro but I do think if they make as many New Eternia figures as they did Classics that NE can rival Classics.

The guy who made the copyright claims against Scott posted his side of the story.

And there's this

Wow... I always assumed hes merely just a bit petty 'n hurt about what happened and and felt a bit sad in about how that hinders him to do some really good insightful content. But that is outright deplorable & pathetic behaviour of Scott.

I renounce my previous statement; he totally should get his channel nuked.

I'd say borderline pathological.

I think it could only get worse if he put out a comic with AI art. Oh wait. He did.

AI generated artwork is not copyrightable. Therefore, anyone can commercially exploit the artwork without recourse. It would be a real shame if someone stole all of his artwork for their own purposes.

@adam_prince-of-eternia why would anyone want to?

That is up to the individual.

@smitty-81 It would be on par with going to a party of someone you don't like, using the john and leaving them an upper decker.

There's new news yesterday in the fight between Toy Guru and Figure In Question. Seems like Scott is tapping out.

@rogerblake this has been discussed in much greater detail over on the hemanworld forum, where Ethan himself has been providing insight and updates. The whole thing is kind of hilarious. Scott has reached peak clown levels, way beyond his controversial days as MOTU brand manager, if you can believe it.

Special delivery for everyone's favourite Clown Guru!

I was never particularly impressed with Scott, but given how much the fandom has ragged on him over the years, I honestly hope the guy just steps back, reassesses his approach and finds success.

At the end of the day, he's still a MOTU fan, so he can't be all bad, right? 😉

But he is really not. He has said so himself. He was always more of a DC fan, particularly Green Lantern. Hence, why he turned Trolla into Oa, and the Trollans into the Guardians in his awful Classics bios.

The more I read those Classics bios the more horrible they get. They didn't age well.

@kraken I never got the chance to read those, which ones stand out as being especially bad?

Hitler was a fan of Mickey Mouse, so what one is a fan of doesn't say anything about their character.

And as a virulent anti-smoking vegeterian, he was practically woke!

@durendal you say "woke" like it's a good thing.

I guess it's a personal preference but to me none of them were ever great. Queen Marlena's wormhole starship smashing the Gar planet and the whole Demo-man thing comes to mind. Classics doesn't have to worry though dude because New Eternia bios sucks more. lol

@kraken I don't like how MOTUC tried to shoehorn every thing into one continuity. Then they put Oo-Lar, a cave man, as He-Mans more resent ancestor. Also they told too much about the past, like really leave some of it a mystery.

This too.
