    Honestly, Can someone explain to me WHY is there a GOAT MAN (who I never heard about) and NO BEAST-MAN ?!! BEAST MAN is essencially one of the biggest villains from the lore. And he isn`t in the movie???

    3 things:
    1. He Man creator Roger Sweet said that Dolph Lundgren was TOO THIN to play the strongest man in the universe
    HE MAN is a VERY MUSCLE guy and that kid (the Hollywood actor) would take at least 10 years to have a similar physique!
    2- The forced inclusion is going to screw up the movie since there ARE African American characters in the ORIGINAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Like for example Clamp Champ, Melaktha, Garn and Shokoti (where two of them were created by the only African American 1984 screenwriter Don Manuel)
    I mean those "WOKES" who think they have the ability to make a He Man movie... THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!
    3.- Idris Elba should play Melaktha or Skeletor 👍🏻👍🏻 and Phil Heat as Clamp Champ 🏆

    • @megajayretro
      @megajayretro  4 часа назад

      lol Yeah I LOVE the 1987 MOTU Movie but even as a Kid I said Arnold Schwarzenegger would be the perfect He-Man. I'm fine with Idris Elba, It is VERY HARD for me to envision his portrayal of Man-At-Arms at this early stage though.
      My problem isn't with the Cast, my problem is with the STORY. Casting at the end of the day is subjective, and everyone will have their own personal bias and can deal with that on their own.
      But if the story isn't good it won't succeed at all.

      While I'm generally not a fan of race swaps, I don't hate this casting. Idris is a great actor and can do the character justice. The Leto as Skeletor casting is what has me worried. Ultimately though, it's the way they're having the story start on Earth that is going to F this movie up. Literally noone wants that. I wish they would just do a movie version of the 2002 shows orgin story. That version really nailed it.

    They have once again overlooked the perfect medium for this franchise. Motion capture.
    They could make the characters look perfect with zero compromise.
    Cast the perfect voices for the roles and their physical appearance would not be a factor.
    (I said the same thing about Tomb Raider; Keeley Hawes as Lara's voice and facial capture, and various athletes and gymnasts for her body movement.) Live-action films don't actually need to be live-action anymore.

    I think Masters of the Universe Franchise is parallel to Star Wars in some ways and done correctly could be as big Star wars if the franchise could escape the Cammy 80s like Tim Burton did For Batman in 1989😮 if you're a comic book guru personally you don't really have to start with He-Man to tell Masters of the Universe story in the beginning start with a prequel with the Evil Horde empire King GraySkull and He-ro the back story before He-man.

    My problem is Jared Leto he is a great actor. But when he is given creative control of a character. Which I can really see this happening. Look at the Joker from Suicide Squad 2016. There were a lot of mistakes there. Then the latest Tron film. In which he plays the lead character. For me a dark cloud hangs over that film. So I will have my misgivings about his casting til I see the film.
    Idris Elba on the other hand knows what he is stepping into. As he has done similar films with the Marvel and Sonic films. So I trust him with the role.

    It's really impressive how much efforts is put in making this franchise a failure. I mean how difficult is to have an epic saga SIMPLY following easy guidelines? Even without inspition or efforts, just putting the DC Masters of The Universe Eternity saga (or the wonderful prequel story - which I imagine they're using as a blueprint for the story of He-Man growing on earth with enough modifications) on screen would suffice to have an easy success. Honoring the IP and the character. What I find utterly stupid is this insane idea to change the story and appearence on a franchise thats survived this long on his stories and iconic looking characters. It's so stupid it feel unreal. And by the way I don't dislike the casting at all. I think the main mistake here is the story and the negative hype they're creating.

      It's not about who's playing who, but what the story is about. This Casting will be judged on their performances not their physical appearances.
      As far as the movie itself I'll say what I've always said. I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT. My problem isn't with the Cast, my problem is with the STORY. Casting at the end of the day is subjective, and everyone will have their own personal bias and can deal with that on their own. But if the story isn't good it won't succeed at all.

    I don't hate the cast. Most are fine.
    Alison Brie could be fantastic as Evil Lynn.
    (Regarding the AI images, Evil Lynn has short silver hair, but that coesn't matter as it should be concealed, not down on her shoulders. Flowing hair is too humanising. She should be stern and cold, so covered hair like a nun would be better.)
    Galzatine certainly is handsome, just hope he can act.
    I don't mind the race-swapped Man-At-Arms, but less keen on the latina Teela. (Another redhead bites the dust.) 😞
    I can somewhat understand why you might consider Leto for the role of Skeletor, but why do people keep casting him? Isn't he sort of, box-office poison? And I've heard he's a total dick in real life.
    Surely Mads Mikkleson should have been the obvious choice.

    My thoughts on this new project - I'm going to reserve judgement until I'm sitting in a theater and watch it from start to finish. Its very hard for me to have any preconceive bias's because I'm older than the generation this license was made in. But I find it odd that you have any reserves given how much you turn the cheek for the initial effort made with Dolph Lundgren. Can we be real just for a moment? That movie was a dumpster fire. Little of it looked like the cartoon; the added characters were embarrassingly stupid; and the effects even for its day were sadly low budget. Now if you can forgive ALL THAT and embrace that movie simply because you were still young, then why be so quick to dump on this before seeing a single frame of footage or even an official pic of the characters? Is a black actor in a supporting role really upsetting to you? Have all the years of forgiving the first film made you intolerant to any new changes? Maybe therein lies the problem. But lets at least see a trailer and see what they come up with before you cast it all aside because they don't look like your action figures. Dolph didn't either.

    • @megajayretro
      @megajayretro  5 часов назад

      Turn the Cheek? Um... @Playitstraight44 I'm being HONEST when I say that the Masters of the Universe 1987 Movie is one of my childhood favourites. I know that's hard to believe for most people but it's true. There's NOTHING to forgive in my opinion. I LOVE the movie as it is. Gwildor is one of my FAVOURITE characters, sure I love Orko but honestly I think if you look at the Filmation Cartoon Vs. The MOTU '87 Movie one is SUPER Campy and appropriate for the time, and the other was written for a slightly older audience, and the story is DIFFERENT. Yes the budget and lack of special effects (which honestly there were a LOT) was a sign of the times. No CGI no 3D computer graphics, let's be honest Orko would look silly. Gary Goddard did what he could with what he was given and he did it expertly.
      Now back to your comments on this new film. Did you even watch my review, I said specifically that I adore Idris Elba I have no problems with his casting. I just can't see HIS version of Man-At-Arms in my head yet. As I've ALWAYS associated Duncan with the versions I've seen before, this isn't about BLACK OR WHITE this is about the PERFORMANCE which I'm SURE Idris Elba will SLAY. If you needed that explained to you there it is.
      This isn't about looking like my action figures either, even when I was a kid I always thought Arnold Schwarzenegger was a better choice than Dolph, but I accepted it because he was what was in the movie. Just like this Casting will be judged on their performances NOT HOW THEY LOOK or Physical appearances.
      As far as the movie itself I'll say what I've always said. I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT. My problem isn't with the Cast, my problem is with the STORY. Casting at the end of the day is subjective, and everyone will have their own personal bias and can deal with that on their own. But if the story isn't good it won't succeed at all.

      Easy @MrX-kq6zm the choice of casing is based on the appropriate actor for the job. I adore Idris Elba, but I am having a hard time seeing him as Duncan as I've always had the Filmation Duncan as my Man-At-Arms, and he's been mostly the same character these past 40+ years. But if Idris Elba can bring his charm, and wit to the character making him better in this film. I welcome it as he is an incredible actor. The MAIN issue is THE STORY... WHY EARTH???? WHY?????

      ​@@megajayretro Thank you for replying to my comment. Normally people get ignored or banned who have a different opinion! So my respect to you!
      Well I know what you mean and basically im also seeing it that way. For example He-Man, i cant imagine the new He-Man Actor as him but im quite open and would wait until I see him in the role. Like with Batman 89, where everybody was critical about Michael Keaton as Bat Man and surprise, surprise, he is now (for me) the greatest Bat Man of all time! But the difference is that I really really can't stand when, because of a political Agenda, they change the ethnical Background of a Character! I cant stand this and am strongly against that! It is completely against all logic and on so many layers wrong!!!! And no, I dont blame the Actors, because Idris Elba is a great and charismatic Actor but im against the politics behind the decision. And anyway there is a black original Character in MotU... guess who? Yes Clamp Champ!!! Why didn't they let him play that Character...?!?!? This is the million Dollar Question...!!!
      Im so done with Hollywood and the whole western Game Industry, because especially in the last 5-10 Years they completely went crazy with all the political stuff and it makes me so upset. And whenever I see that in a new movie or Video Game im completely out and loose my interest. Thats why I mostly (98%) watch and play asian content, because there they treat old and new franchises with respect! And they treat the Fans like adults and not like here in the west like children which must be lectured.... 😞

    So are they basically giving him the She-Ra storyline I wouldn't be surprised I'm upset about the man of arms love Ezra Alba I'm sure he'll do a great job I just wish they would stop the race swapping it should have made him the black fisto or sunman and I think the script that they have that have heard is going to flop the movie they should have had a major star b he-man's mother and her be a astronaut crash land on eternia and then tell the story they just keep doing the same thing and then I'm going to keep having flops look how everybody bitched about Revelations just imagine if they change the storyline in the direction the movie wants to go it's not going to work He-Man has a twin sister Shira man in arms is tila's dad Adam and tila grew up together they're just messing the whole lore up

    • @megajayretro

      It's not exactly Adora's story. Adora was Kidnapped and raised by the Horde to believe she is doing the right thing serving the Horde. This movie is pointing to Adam "Escaping" Eternia and growing up on Earth, so it's not only a fish out of water story, but it also raises the question: Why would someone who grew up on earth fight for a PLANET he has never known. I don't mind the casting for Idris Elba, but it's just so hard to separate my image of Duncan as he's always been the same since the very first toy, Filmation, Mike Yonge, Netflix Revelation, and Revolution he's always been the same. I'm looking forward to Idris Elba's portrayal, but right now it's hard to see him as Duncan. In the end it will all come down to Story, and the Earth Connection is NEVER a great start for Masters of the Universe.

      @megajayretro thank you for that explanation j I personally think what they revealed so far is a mistake now I do like the he-man actor in the way he's explaining things so we're going to get nostalgia with new age but every time they change the original story though it never works out if they made a top-notch origins correct He-Man I think it would be a hit and they just need to add diversity characters already in the master verse not change original characters but at the same time they may be able to pull it off because we really don't have anything about He-Man as kid or young man I guess or did he turn to He-Man when he was 18

I think he’s going to be great! I think the cast overall looks good I’m more concerned with the story.

    • @megajayretro
      @megajayretro  День назад

      @Chewzy_CEO the main reason I'm having trouble with Jared is his last few performances with "comic book" characters were such a departure from the source material, I am having trouble seeing him play Skeletor. I'm not saying he will be bad, I'm just saying it's hard to see right now. BLACK? What does that have to do with anything? As I said I ADORE Idris Elba, I loved him in Pacific Rim, Thor, Beast, and Suicide Squad 2. But just like I said in the review, I am just so attached to the Duncan I've known for the past 40+ years already, so it's hard to see Idris playing Man-At-Arms. But I'll say it again I'm sure he'll do a masterful job just but like Jared, I can't see it yet. But I'm eager to see both of their performances. You are absolutely correct though, it comes down to the STORY. If the foundation isn't good then this movie will not be great. It might be OKAY but probably not win over the hearts of Older fans, but will it attract YOUNGER Fans... That's the trick...
