It's the kind of thing the target audience should really like.
Adam and all his friends get transformations this time. And Skeltor too.
5 man teams that transform have been popular with kids since the 1st Power Rangers series, not surprised they made it a team thing this time around.

What is netflix's obsession with MOTU? I mean 3 series? Seems like a lot for a series they keep saying sucked originally.

Nothing says a more toyetic cartoon for kids than giving everyone flashy transformations and making them all teenagers

Super hot toyline in the 80s that they finally got rights to. Originally Posted by CliffHanger2

So far it seems when it is done like Voltron and She-Ra, it does well for them. Both got toylines and rights deals with vendors like Sonics, Scholastic, etc.
Revelations is not done yet and this new one has yet to come out, so can't really say much about if either format was working. Haven't see any new vendors or toylines for these new ones yet beyond the collector's editions/sets.Last edited by BeastieRunner; 08-23-2021 at 04:42 PM.

The toys seem to be doing pretty well. Motu origins He-man and Skeletor have been peg warming before the new show came out. Due to being over shipped. Originally Posted by BeastieRunner

Because the originals had cool settings and elements, but were exercises in squandered potential; they were the perfect IP's for reboots... that said this version is looking very "in name only". Originally Posted by CliffHanger2

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!

A clip from the series + the theme song.
Kinda catchy.
Yep has that Power Rangers energy.

The original series was very much rooted in the 80s action star aesthetic though, and has proven nearly impossible to update to suit modern sensibilities. The smart thing to do would have been to basically do a straight remake to capitalize on the peak of 80s nostalgia, kind of like what they were doing with the MOTU Classics toyline, but I think we're at the point in nostalgia cycle where 80s stuff is starting to fall out of favor again. Trying to modernize He-Man is a fool's errand because, and I say this as a lifelong fan of the brand, after you scrape away all the visual elements and marketing fluff there really isn't anything substantive left. The entire franchise was just a crass commercial exercise to cram as many toyetic elements into one line as possible, and if you swap all the stuff that appealed to 80s kids for what appeals to modern kids, what exactly do you still have left from what you started with?

I was expecting an instrumental theme more like the 2002 cartoon, some of the background music in the show really sounds a lot like it, but I feel like this new theme will grow on me. Originally Posted by Nate Grey

Man-At-Arms looks way cooler than he should given the de-aging.

Ok the theme is no longer catchy, its ADDICTIVE. I think if I heard it by itself I'd think it was just ok, but it goes perfectly with that opening. Its very kinetic, and I love how each of the heroes blends into the other. That part of it kinda reminded me of Thundercats a bit. Originally Posted by Frontier

Curious to know the story behind Skeletor's left skeletal hand.
Man-At-Arms rocking the Samus Aran look lol

I'm curious what those creatures He-Man throws his sword through are supposed to be. Originally Posted by Nate Grey
