He-Man (2021) vs She-Ra (SPOP)

[Jcogginsa]

He-Man, from the new Netflix Series, takes on She-Re from her Netflix series. For fairness, we'll only be using feats from She-Ra's first season.

Bonus: They sit and talk

Is this Kevin Smith He-Man series or CGI children's He-Man series?

I would think it's 3D He-Man since current He-Man has very few feats at the moment (unless we piggyback on his 80's self's feats since they're supposed to be one and the same).

They aren't.

For one thing there are too many contradictions/inconsistancies. For example "The New Adventures of He-Man" was the direct sequel to the the 80's series yet that was completely forgotten.

Also the makers of Woke-Maam do not own the rights to the Filmation series.

Mattel not inexplicably licensing Powerhouse to produce a series that's already produced doesn't make the new one not a sequel, nor do inconsistencies (especially not "failure to acknowledge a defunct sequel no one remembers"). The Star Wars prequels didn't stop counting the moment someone noticed that Darth switched from being a name to a prefix. The writers and basically every news source have said that it's intended as a sequel to the Filmation series. I'd probably argue against bringing that up for feats in a Rumbles context (I mean for one thing, you'd basically just be using Filmation He Man at that point), but the courts aren't in here telling anyone what is and isn't canon to Revelations.

For that matter, even if you're arguing that, somehow, they have the license to the likenesses, the names, the old merch, and most of the story but not to the abstract concept of being a sequel, that's not even what you're responding to. Len said they're supposed to be the same, and like, they are. There was a whole interview where Smith was like "yeah this is meant to pick right up from the old series."

Woke-Maam

But then I'm somehow detecting a bias here.

That's because there's no contradiction. All we knew in the original trilogy was that Anakin took a new name when he turned to the dark side. That's it. There was absolutely nothing to indicate that "Darth" was unique to him. All the prequels did was establish that others had used the name/title before he did.

By contrast MOTU:Revelations is completely incompatible with the Filmation series.

The writers and basically every news source have said that it's intended as a sequel to the Filmation series.

Which was shown to be a lie.

Len said they're supposed to be the same, and like, they are.

No they aren't. Not even remotely.

There was a whole interview where Smith was like "yeah this is meant to pick right up from the old series."

Which was a lie. Smith also said in an interview that he hated Masters of the Universe as a kid, then in a later interview he claimed he was a huge MOTU fan as a kid. Everything he says should be ignored because he is a proven liar.

Want proof that MOTU:Revelation is not a sequel? Right here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9Ylmihz6Bo

If you're unable to watch, basically in the Filmation series Orko was an excellent wizard on Trolla. His magic just didn't work properly on Eternia because Trolla is in another dimension. MOTU:Revalation claims that he was always bad at magic. Therefore there is no way it can be a sequel to the Filmation series. Plus the zillions of other contradictions.

But then I'm somehow detecting a bias here.

No bias. Just truth. If you like it fine. Whatever makes you happy. But it is woke as heck.

But it's a moot point anyway since Jcogginsa specified that this is the CGI one, not MOTU:Revelation. Let's drop this before the thread goes further off-topic.

The CGI one.
