@smitty-81 I am not taking sides but I am not seeing that stuff you see in his comment. Maybe you read it wrong.

I don't remember that figure when I was a kid.

It's that comment right there.That part of your statement suggests a complete disconnect from everything outside of the vintage toy line. Goat man even had a speaking role in Masters of the Universe Revelation. His presence in that show was discussed online. If you were unfamiliar with the character because you just got into the online phantom, that's fine.But saying, I don't remember him is totally different than saying.Who is this character.

I do wonder how someone who's enough of a MOTU fan to bother creating an account to discuss this hobby with other fans on a MOTU specific forum could not, despite being a fairly obscure character, have at least heard of Goat Man at some point in the past 40 years...

Very interesting choice for Skeletor, I like the casting of Jared Leto. I think he's a great actor, I just hope he looks "big" enough in whatever wardrobe they design for him.

I am a TMNT groupie that also liked He-Man toys as a kid. When Turtles of Grayskull came out I started reconnecting with He-Man. Is that good enough for you or you going to decide I am not a real fan?

Aw come on please knock it off guys. Unless you are a bot here to spam us we are all fans here so let's be respectful.

Now in regards to the topic at hand there are FOUR MORE CASTING ANNOUNCEMENTS???????????

@brain77 i'll never say anyone's not a true fan. I just think your phrasing was a little weird if you didn't know the character, that's fine. I definitely lost track of masters of the universe after the 200X cartoon ended. I knew classics was a thing, but I didn't know where to get it.I couldn't find them anywhere online.I didn't know you had to be part of a special club. I didn't really get back into masters of the universe until a few years ago, when I found out about origins. Yeah, but since then i've tried to learn as much as I could about the lore.The classics helped flesh out. I learned about some of the characters I didn't know about. What was most interesting for me to find out is that Oo-Larr was He-Man's most recent ancestor not his most distant.

It's like I said before. Everyone shits on Leto but I see him as a damn good actor. He'll make a good eccentric Skeletor. Now the other three jokers I know nothing about.

As I said before I hated his Joker, but I thought his performance in Haunted Mansion was a good villain. If played along those lines it could work for Skeletor.

 

Fair enough.

Better get used to it. This movie is going to bring new people into the fold.

@caliban I'm kind of dreading it for that reason alone 🤣  We'll be flooded with newbs and the famous Era Wars from the past years of the Org will heat up again...
