Eh...looks like what ppl were saying about Teela being the focus is true. Why not just make a series about a new female heroine? It does seem smith was being dishonest after all. Probably still check it out but not a must see like before.

It does seem a tad disingenuous when they're advertising He-Man so much but maybe it won't be that one-sided.

Well, guess I'm out. There is always new Thundercat animated movie coming from Adam Wingard to look forward to.

It seems really weird to be "out" on this just because Teela might get equal billing as He-Man. From everything shown so far it looks like it has a lot of great action and it certainly looks like it has the feel of the old show.

Makes perfect sense. On page one of this thread when I had high hopes for this show I was jokingly responding to another poster about the worst things that could possibly happen but probably wouldn't happen. This was the list. Originally Posted by thwhtGuardian

I mean, I'm fine with equal billing and less actually phasing out or downplaying Adam and He-Man just to make Teela the main character. Originally Posted by thwhtGuardian

Adam says that in the new trailer and it looks like she has been wielding the other half of the sword of power after He-Man rips it in two. Originally Posted by Anthony W

I don't see how any of this is necessarily bad...and your complaint about He-Man being a "sad sack loser" because it's Teela putting the pieces back together and not Adam? Ouch. How does some one even type that and not think, " Wow, I really sound like an incel there...maybe I should rethink my point of view."? Originally Posted by Anthony W

I think the person you responded to said He man had become a "sad sack loser" and hence because of that Teela had to put the MOTU back together again instead of him, and not that because Teela was doing this He man was therefore a "sad Sack loser" - thats not the same thing.

The show doesn't bear his name. While He-Man can still be a central character it opens things up for someone else to take the lead. Originally Posted by SpiderTBliss

Yeah, one of the complainants I had as a kid (To which I had many; both the original He-man and She-ra were exercises in squandered potential.) was how cool the masters of the universe seemed, but they were mostly useless. Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon

I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!

Yeah, but I think most people are still looking at it as a He-Man show. Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon

I'm just sitting here bummed that we got that epic shot of Teela taking off her tiara and her hair falling down, then I find out she cuts it.

Dude quite trying to push your friends channel. Either have something to say for yourself or stay out. Originally Posted by Celgress
