@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! 😀

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

@caliban until then, we at least have the hasbro comic book universe from idw a few years back. did you ever get in to those, caliban? g.i. joe, transformers and.....jem in the same universe ! 🤣
there is also the "energon" shared universe of comics from Image that started only last fall. so far it's just tf and g.i. joe comics tho
@lurker-man i'm with you on the idea of a motu cinematic universe, l.m.
there is more than enough characters and mythos for a linear series of he-man led movies but then you bring pre-ternia and the princess of power into the mix and you realise that this ip DEMANDS expansion !
like @ninadust said it best, one really good he-man movie must be made first and from there, i'm thinking a sequel to introduce the snake-men, in which we (briefly) get a look into preternia and (briefly) explore the story he-man's ancestors - to be revisited and expanded in a spin-off/prequel tv miniseries which sees he-ro as the protagonist.
then he-man 3 sees hordak as the main antagonist. he-man discoveries the planet etheria and along with he-man we meet she-ra, bow and glimmer. then the following summer is spent in etheria with she-ra in the lead in her standalone movie, the FIRST in a series of films to be released along side the continued big screen adventures of he-man. having she-ra's origin and world already established in he-man 3 makes the first she-ra much easier to write because we already know her story and motivations.
(maybe even sun-man gets a tv series all his own done the line if mattel get the tv/film rights and incorporate the rulers of the sun into the motu cinematic universe like they did with the toys in the origins universe.....a girl can dream.)
@daavid i agree david, the lotr treatment is just what the doctor ordered.
large sets, practical effects (where plausible) ornate costumes and architecture, a sweeping soundtrack (music wise, a combination of space/prog rock and symphonic heavy metal - a soundscape that pays homage to he-man's roots in the 80's. there HAS to be a little bit of folksy/celtic-style metal heard in some scenes too, to fit mot's fantasy elements.)
@adoralovely now you're talking. Where can I buy tickets for this epic?

As a fan of GoT you should get to it sooner rather than later. It made me remember why I loved GoT again and season 2 is coming this spring.
@kraken cool. I might catch up just before season 2 hits and run straight into it.

I totally agree with you. I'd like to see a more mature oriented, darker tone to the movie, with "R" rated content.
What I fear, nonetheless, is an "adaptation for modern audiences" that would overturn many of the main lines of the 80's cartoons.

I can't imagine a Masters of the Universe movie with R content. Gore and sex makes a movie R. Don't you think He-Man is more Superman than Conan? Can you imagine a Superman movie with gore and sex?

Well, violence to a certain degree, without gorefests & mindless dismemberments. About sex, I meant not so explicit, but not so puritan either! Anyway, don't worry, it will never happen an "R" rated MOTU movie. Nowadays trend is to make most of the adaptations from books and cartoons as light as possible, to attract the largest demographic possible. Money first, immediately followed by political messaging, then if there is still place for it, artistic freedom.
