"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest

I have no special love for He-Man. I think I just missed it when it came out in the 80's, or I just don't remember watching it.
That said, this looks fun as hell and I'll definitely be watching it.
Entitled Millennials that talk like entitled Boomers.
They realize that if He-Man came out 40 years earlier in the 40s and 50s, there'd be no Teela and She-Ra the way we know them, right?
I swear, I've seen more bad takes on wokeness than actual bad examples of wokeness, to the point where even just simple consideration of current audiences is seen as too woke. Things change and the shows we like will always be a product of their time. Their challenge, like everything else, is to evolve with the times to reach audiences and survive. Complaining about them is the opposite direction and surely leads to a quicker death.
I'm 42 so I was fortunate to grow up with the Original MOTU (at the playground I had wore an Iron Sheik Headdress and at the same time yelling "By the Power of Grayskull" waving a He-Man Sword) but at the same time loved the 2002 Series. (Severely Underrated)
This new show is pulling elements from both series. Cast, Animation, Action Scenes, and Song Choice for the trailer looks great. This is the show worth renewing my Netflix Subscription for
I see no "woke-ness". Some are just going to see what they see cause, hey, it's cool to point out something to others. Even if others say, Oooookkkay.

Yes yes yes! The only issue I have; I want to come out sooner. But seriously, this looks like a truly fun series.
Though, animation wise, and thematics wise, I don't see it doing a crossover with the She-Ra series like some wanted.
My spouse was talking to a work colleague about Loki and the colleague said they were skipping it because their husband told them it had too much BLM stuff in it. And they are sick of BLM being in everything. We don't have a problem in America, yada yada yada.
My wife asked if I saw that in Loki because she thought she missed it or something and I said no. BUT in FatWS (which she did not watch) I told her that was a plot line or two. So she thinks the person got their wires crossed.
She-Ra and the Princess of Power was VERY "woke" if you will, so maybe they're assuming this one will be, too.
People do that all the time.
And if that means less toxic fans, fuck 'em, glad they're gone.

Hell if I know. But I do know a lot of fans of the 2002 He-Man series were disappointed that She-Ra was never introduced, and a good sized group from the recent She-Ra series wanted the siblings reunited as well.
I do remember that when this was announced, the showrunner for the She-Ra series did say she was open to doing crossover with Kevin Smith of some sort.
