Par for the course these days, it seems....

I'm sure the suits at Netflix have watched the pattern of franchises that already have their built in fan bases stall out in recent years.  The last nail in the coffin has probably been the franchises that were once guaranteed winners completely bomb at the box office in the last year or so.

I was starting to suspect something was wrong with the lack of anything...

In all honesty, I don't know if this might seem a bit odd but...as expected. My She-Ra essay should be going live soon, and in the process of researching the history of MotU history and how it lead to the reboots, a thing you will soon find is that the live-action He-Man reboot has been created, killed, revived, killed again, revived again multiple times ever since the original 1987 Canon film was supposed to get a sequel. In fact what we can call "modern plans" for a new live-action He-Man movie go back to 2004. Almost two decades ago. It's gone through Sony then to Warner Brothers, and it has gone through people like Jon Woo, John Stevenson, John M. Chu, Chris Yost, and David Goyer just to name a few. Ie don't be surprised if in a year or two, the thing gets revived again and three years later, canned again.

If it makes anybody feel better, know we still have Smith's story alive and on the way, and that in all this writers and actors might start getting paid and treated better with how they're out there needing fighting for their artistic rights as they should be.

In art, anything is possible, but I think Masters of the Universe is best when it's animated. I think whenever a dull live-action Disney remake or a bad live-action anime adaptation on Netflix comes out, there's a reason why our minds start telling us all the stuff on screen was originally animated for a reason. The world of animation allows something like MotU to reach it's full visual and story appeal with how the medium gives it countless advantages live-action doesn't usually.

Perhaps it will come out one day and it will be good, BUT, I think the best days for Masters of the Universe are all paved with hand drawn animation.

So you think we missed our window. I am surprised they were gonna spend 200 million on this movie anyway. That is Marvel money. An audience like that for He-Man it is not proven.

@thenerdwithasuit All we have is Revolution. If that isn't successful bro it might be curtains for He-Man in any new show or movie.

@he-dad I'm not sure if we missed it or not.... The Super Mario Bros is a huge hit because it hit well on all the right cylinders.  Granted MOTU may not have the fanbase Nintendo/SMB does, but if a MOTU movie had the same word of mouth that SMB did...

Bummer.
