Whatever happens I hope it is taken as seriously as something like LOTR and doesn't try to get too goofy or into anyone's political leanings. I just want classic story telling in the MOTU world.

Perhaps it's the lack of hardship but I ponder why newer generations generally struggle to tell a good story than the generations preceeding them.

@elder I completely agree. It's like they're using most of the same ingredients, but their measures are way off and they can't seem to give it time to bake properly.

@kraken 🤣
That's fair enough, it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but his GoT was awesome!

@firefly I like the idea of a more serious movie but have you seen Thor Ragnarok? I think that movie is proof that a lighter movie can work too and still have amazing epic scenes and maybe even a little romance between He-Man and Teela. I know Valkyrie is a lesbian but we didnt know in that movie and they way she and Thor flirts is very cute. I can imagine the role of Teela being just like her.
I am right there with you! 🙂 Can you imagine a scene like this where He-Man is fighting off an army of rock creatures?

The most important MOTU character for me is Evil-Lyn, I can't wait to see her in a new movie! 😀

Well GoT was awesome to a point. I was extremely disappointed with the final season. I was one of those two million signatures that petitioned them to remake Season 8. I knew it would never happen but I still signed it. 😆
@kraken totally agree, it was a crying shame how swiftly that show feel from grace. Shakmans 2 episodes are among the best in the entire show though, they get regularly listed as contenders for best episode.

IDK if a "MOTU Feige" would be enough. Sure; have it helmed by someone that knows, likes and respects the source material should be a natural given. But if that someone is not able to shoot down suggestions/wishes from people unfamiliar with the franchise that just want to inject it with something they personally think is fancy regardless of what it does to the long term viability of the project it does not really matter who helms it.
This think the last thing we need is a MOTU Fiege. No grand plans or a universe please. We do not need someone who looks ahead. We just need someone to focus on one good movie one movie at a time. Masters of the Universe Revelation was put together buy a small group of people who had a common goal. We need a movie handled the same way.

It depends on the goal. If they want a connected movie/TV universe they indeed need one planning for that; else it would be a crash & burn like the DCEU which keept getting messier as it proceeded because too much focus on that movie now without any consideration of planning ahead or what was before if it did not meet all the expectations (most prevalent in the wishful thinking aftercredits of the DCEU vs. coherent worldbuilding aftercredits of the MCU). If they only want an one & done movie it does not matter but I do not think that is what they want. So since we want a good connected multiple movie/series spanning universe we do indeed need someone with love for the franchise and experience in such a job to helm that as the first an most important thing. And that one does indeed need a few trustworthy directors that are actual teamplayers to outline the bigger plan within which they indeed focus on their movies at a time (with the prepared planning in mind).
Screw that. I am still waiting for the Hasbro Cinematic Universe. Just pretend it is pre MCU and just make a damn good movie. All we need is one. Then we can all die happy.
@lurker-man I think because so many movies have been stinking in the mcu lately people are just done with shared universes bro. Can't really blame them. Marvel ain't like it was.

It could have ended it with Endgame on a high note with mayyyyyyyyybe that Spiderman movie (someting with Home) as a kind of aftermath/chillout movie. I have not watched most of the newer ones nor have the desire even though I love Superhero/SciFi etc movies. I get the disdain.
But its not about what direction I (or anyone here) want to them to go; its about the direction I expect them to prefer to go because if they would be happy with a single movie it would be in production now and Amazon would not stalled around all the time 'cause of MOTUs license/rights mess. And if they do a movie franchise the healthiest for that would be someone with love for and knowledge of the franchise at the helm.
@kraken y"know, I watched the first episode ages ago and enjoyed it, but time and again something got in the way of my putting on the next one and eventually I just didn't get round to it. It's on the ever growing list of things I have to get back to!

@lurker-man many of us are in the same boat. Whether it’s superhero fatigue or movies being subpar(mainly bc it’s been quantity over quality)my interest has waned after endgame. If they mess up X-men and Fantastic Four that might end up being their funeral
@brasco yep, I'm in that boat too. I've still been watching their releases and keep waiting for the quality to start to improve. I'm hoping they can course correct now, and that might even look like a scenario where they stop releasing for a year or so in order for people to build a thirst for that content again. And in order for them to properly plan a film and not still be writing it while they're filming!
