I certainly agree with all of that. A new Masters of the Universe movie deserves nothing less than an Epic treatment.
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.
I understand the trends but this source material has never had R content. To do so would be guilty of what your describing but it would be going the other direction.
@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
I never read the comics. Maybe I should have. I am more a movie guy. I have been waiting for that movie universe for so long I don't even want it now. Don't announce it if you're not going to make it you know what I mean?
