What do you expect from blindly optimistic people who don't think past five minutes after taking a dump and just screech to eat the rich while pirating stuff?
Reminds me of the Nu-Ra situation and how badly their toys did. They kept insulting MOTU for being about toys but they celebrated when their own toys came out, only to bitch when they were so badly made.
I think the worst was getting your really well-thought-out show cancelled because the toys you sold for it were of lower quality than Chinese bootleg which happened a couple years back
@@SuperCosmicMutantSquid OH yeah, didn;t they also try and act like these toys sold well. Due to very few people buying them and now they are rare as heck.
He told us to grow up, and I was told that grown ups don't buy toys for themselves, so we're just doing what he told us to do. We're growing the F up and not buying toys.
Theory: The color purple has long been used in old comics to represent villains ie Lex Luther or the Joker. As a "comic book fan" Kevin must know this. Kevin Smith wears that purple blazer because even he sees himself as a villain these days.
Honestly, Kevin running his mouth about how the Netflix bosses literally don't give a fuck might be the one thing that puts a bug up his ass because NOW people can push this on Netflix a bit
Yeah. I can't help thinking he's going to be getting calls from both Mattel and Netflix telling him to stfu, because the more he talks, the more he damages both of them.
They really won't care. So long as you keep your subscription, they literally lose nothing. Choosing not to watch the show is meaningless...if you're still paying your monthly subscription.... It's like....refusing to watch a movie on principal....and yet still paying for the ticket.
@@Kuricapitalist thats why sygmar said “imagine”, if the showrunner said that to the potential toy buyers, affect the toy sale, if the company itself said that it will be the doom
I don't think this is Mattel's fault. They are in financial danger. I think Smith backstabbed them to please Netflix and future liberal investors. Maybe Mattel agreed to the cliffhanger but didn't realize the series would be ulta-woke. I hope Mattel saved the second half. If it's the same or worse, we should blame Netflix. (I kind of like the Teela figure. She looks better than the cartoon character.)
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” C.S. Lewis
Kevin Smith: "F*ck the fanboys...but please buy our toys!" Progressive Critics: "Fanboys are stupid! I just loooved the show and the refresh it received!.....but I ain't gonna buy the toys or consume anything related, I was never a great fan." Original Fans: .......
I grew up with the 80s Motu loved it and I love revelation there's nothing wrong with it at all it's just little fanboys crying that it's not all about he man saving the day as usual.
In it for the paycheck? I don't think so... I think the paycheck was nice, but I think he saw an opportunity like so many do, to put a bunch of corporate approved social justice talking points into this show, figuring he would spend the next several months laying back and enjoying all of the praise for how progressive he is. On some level he's got to know going into it that pushing the content in a certain direction will all but guarantee a 90 something score on rotten tomatoes just from the activists writing about it
It honestly feels like Smith was in for the check, but Netflix bigwigs were so up his butt about wanting to include these "identity quota points" to look progressive. PR people who weren't aware of the subject creates that dissonant backlash.
Except, this kind of backlash has happened several times even with Netflix involved. Makes you wonder how deep these virtue signalling points are in their butts and they probably enjoy the feeling too.
yup, i think that hollywood only sees things in how the media/critics review it. They think the plebes just need to be told how good it is in order to like it. Its why they desperately cling to social justice garbage to avoid backlash from activists. Too bad the activists don't consume their products/entertainment.
No, you can tell by the way he's been shilling breakfast cereals and Puma shoes and whatnot that he's only in it for the money. He'll write wokeshit if that's what Netflix pays him for.

CORRECTION: The Backlash from the Netflix 'Masters Of the Universe: Revelation' Show will have a Decrease in Demand for He-Man Toys, leading to Decrease in Sales Revenue leading to a Financial Loss for Mattel!
It's a real shame too when you think about it. As difficult as they have been to find, I and many I know adore the new Origins line and the Mega Contrux builds and figures are great! Late 2019 and into 2020 really has felt like a wonderful revival of the toyline and the announcements (not the end results but the announcements) gave a ton of long-time fans so many good feelings. No matter where you stand on the recent She-Ra shows, that didn't really do much for the toylines and branding as a whole but it felt like we were finally back on the right track. Smith and Ted Biaselli, whose name should also be brought up more in the conversation, (Teds just been quieter, also check out Midnight's Edge's excellent video "He-Man's Last Jedi" for more info) have really done a disservice. Again, it's a shame but you're right, Mattel will only listen when their bottom line is affacted. Then they might be a bit more protective of the IP going forward. Maybe. Hopefully.
I hope they do, it may seem harsh but the man lied and false advertised. He even told us netflix doesnt care about the fans all the while cursing and insulting fans, just leaves a bad tase in my mouth and really makes me want to boycott any toy Mattel makes.
To be fair, Kevin Smith is not the only one at fault here. Mattel and Netflix were both directly involved in the production and direction of this show. Smith would not have been allowed to do anything without their approval and this has been stated elsewhere. Smith is pretty much just the face of the project.
Imagine this; if the next license owner were to make another MOTU series: "set up for the plot cut to Teela waking up in her bed all agitated from a nightmare, Orco enters and asks "Teela are you alright" She goes "Yes, yes. Just a nightmare. Adam was dead, he was HeMan and I shaved my head".
I lost my oldest son 3 years ago in an accident. That scene of Teela throwing a fit and yelling at Adam's parents over not being told he was He-man right after his passing completely pissed me off. That made Teela forever evil in my opinion.
It's so offensive and It's terrible you were forced to endure that further more anyone that actually watched the original show Tela would never responded in that manner never Kevin Smith owes everyone a real apology and a better product
[My condolences, man. To see that parallel would hurt me something fierce too! Distractions are welcome since I've lost my own a few years now too! The "What-if" game kills me tho! Hope you keep those special memories close to your heart and remember he's a part of you still! Fight on, bruv!✌🏼❤️]

And peak cringe. I've never liked him or his writing. I forgot he killed Karen Page in that cringe Daredevil comic. I wouldn't be surprised if this garbage He-Man series is mostly his doing and he backstabbed Mattel. I hope Mattel saved the second half. A troll cliffhanger could attract attention to a weak franchise, but Smith way overdid the woke and the edgelord garbage. Likely, he was trying to hard to please Netflix and liberal investors for future projects. Maybe he wants to be the next Rian Johnson. Trolling made Johnson rich. If the need to sell toys by a company in financial danger can't stop the woke, I don't know what can. If the second half is the same or worse, this series must be Netflix's fault.
Yea Kevin Smith killed all his credibility to everyone that paid even the slightest amount of attention. He may have won his little one sided rant fights but even fighting those caused him to straight up lose the war.
[Technically, there was no debate; Kevin said one thing and then said something else to contradict the first thing! Then ignoring his own double-speak, defended himself by projecting onto certain others to be liars. Then, over time, the facts revealed the truth, he maintains absolute innocence against his _pedantic naysayers/unreal fans_ playing semantics with his words; even tho he's the one quibbling! Integrity, gone. Credibility, gone. Fan appreciation, gone. Hero became the Villain! Smh✌🏼💊]
@@Nelcomarproductions True, but the irony in this is that they demand you to be mature while you buy a product catered towards children. Going back to the shaming point, I would also say, immunity is a factor, but I think it starting to backfire even from the people that were susceptible to the tactic to begin with.
If the point of the show is to boost toy sales, maybe listen to what the customer and fans want, those "journalist and twitter critics" not going to buy any of those toys.
It's the call of duty effect. Every game company tried chasing that cod money. Hardcore gamers are not the majority. The market of casuals is huge. Many games started to become cod like and disenfranchised the core fans. So instead of being happy with 5-10 million sales they wanted 20 million in sales. They ended up selling 1 million or less. My point is these companies want the masses not the core fans. They going to learn that doesn't work
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 neither are the core fans the masses. My point still stands. Casual movie/show watchers dont care if it's woke or not. Netflix said it themselves its a numbers game.
@@ZeroFallout1 But it's not *just* a numbers game. People who watch a show on netflix and hate it will be counted in the numbers (so, big numbers for Netflix), but won't buy the merch (low numbers for Mattel).

can't imagine how killing the protagonist, lying to people about the story and attacking those that complain this doesn't resemble the old show nor what they were told it was going to be could possibly impact sales of the franchise it's a mystery for the ages... /s
Especially with the out of nowhere Diabolos Ex Machina where Skeletor suddenly turned out to be alive and hiding in Evil Lynn's magic staff all along, stabbed Adam in the back and claimed the Sword of Power for himself to be Skelegod.
I look forward to seeing Teela figures cluttering up the clearance aisle at my local department store for years to come. She'll be in very good company with Rey Palpatine, Captain Marvel, and Rose Tico.
This Netflix trash will definitely hurt toy sales. I have ZERO interest in buying any of the MOTU Revelation releases. Shame on Mattel for approving this garbage. I have a complete collection of MOTU Classics including the AMAZING Classics Castle Grayskull and instead of donating one cent to Revelations I am going all in with Super 7 with Ultimates Thundercats and Ultimates Siverhawks.
@@drakofox1362 It is pretty incredible. Hopefully you will be able to find one at a decent price. I am glad I was in a place to get it when I could. Again shame on Mattel for this MOTU Revelation woke garbage.
@@drakofox1362 No worries man. The MOTU Origins line is very well done. If I did not already have my Classics collection I would be all over Origins. Again MOTU Revelation is a hard pass but the Super 7 stuff is fantastic and it is just starting off.
Well, by prohibiting something it may be more desired, maybe that was the only non-that-stupid thing in this fiasco. With my previous state in mind, I hope no one buy any toy until this gets fixed, else, I can still remember that at the end of the 80's cartoons, there was at least a human soul that wanted to give a good advice despite doing something for money; and by that they were "richer" and will be remembered as long as I can while I'll forget this crap as soon as I can.
He-Man was created to sell toys. Much like Transformers, GI Joe, and all other 80s cartoons. All of them were created to sell toys. It wasn't until the 90s the laws changed to stop direct marketing.
Isn't the fact that the series is much darker and more mature also bad for toy sales? Like the people who buy toys are mostly kids and I don't think a lot of kids would be allowed to see the Netflix show.
The show was advertised and aimed at the "30-40 year old people who knew the 80s show", so it was kind of expected to be more "mature". As "mature" as the 2002 could be in comparison to the 80s one since it was targeted at teenagers rather than 5-6 year olds.
@@MajinZarak If that’s the case, they really screwed things up by writing a story that changes things in such a way to alienate their target audience, apparently.
@@EyeOfMagnus4E201 I don’t think that they screwed up as the marketing and Kevin Smith’s online comments pretty much showed that they were aware what people wanted. So there is no accident involved here, everything went down as it was supposed to go down. The only ones screwing up was Mattel, believing that Netflix had any interest in making a show that sells toys … how did they ever come to that conclusion?
heck that sounds like what a professional would do. Which Kevin Smith is meant to be. A professional creator, not a fanfic writer. Than again, professional doesn't mean having professional standards anymore sadly.
If someone doesn't know always look back at the as those who originally created the product he should have brought people from the 2002 that would have kept the show on a better path but no sjw nonsense you know they only their shortsighted.
Sadly regardless of how bad this looks i would never root for skeletor, rather i prefer to summon a true hero to annihilate him, maybe kenshiro is available and contrary to He-man, he Will not be defeated
I hope with Skelegod or whatever he's named, he'd have a different voice like with Galvatron in the 1985 Transformers movie. Maybe Mark Hamill can change the voice to more like Ozin, Seletica or The Specter.
One has to wonder why Mattel didn't reach out to Seth Green and/or the other Robot Chicken guys instead of Kevin Smith. At least we know Seth is a fan of MOTU and most likely wouldn't have fucked up this bad, given Netflix it still would've been woke regardless but hopefully with Seth at the helm, it wouldn't have been unwatchable like the Smith version.
@@davidgantenbein9362 A show that replaced a man with a woman who's a rug eater? Netflix is definitely in charge of this! Mattel didn't even probably know that Teela was the lead and He-man was a side character cause Kevin probably lied to them.
"Trans" is used in "transparent", "transform" and "transport". Chances are kids think "trans" is related to those words since "trans" itself is actually Latin for "across, through".
Just my two cents ... But I think there is a reason why Kevin didn't want to meet with the toy representatives on this toy line. Because they went into this thinking this was a reboot of He-Man. He didn't want to meet with them and have to admit to them it wasn't. It was another woke take on a very masculine TV show. Toy representatives would have went into that meeting that sales would be through the roof. Now, they are probably wondering if anybody is going to get laid off. It is going to be a repeat of the Star Wars trilogy.
Looked at Mattel Stocks yesterday and it was dropping like a Rock! Closed at 19.12 (-0.31 (-1.60%)) for the weekend. And it’s gotten REALLY bad where unlike sinking Disney Stocks, there is NO ONE on the Analysts’ Boards trying Hype Stocks and spin that it’s a “Perfect Time” to buy now since the stocks are so low. I think (and HOPE) Mattel feels this one. Then HOPEFULLY they’ll Learn their Lesson about Chasing away the ACTUAL Fans whom are the ones who BUYS their Toys! 😤
@@johnfrancismalinao6446 They won’t because they are JUST as inept as Kevin Smith. What they are going to do is the thing Kevin Smith was SUPPOSED to do and JUST KEEP QUIET! When in reality, what they are supposed to do is what Kevin Smith was doing before the Show Premiered. They should Talk and Hype up the Toy Line and take the EASY out by throwing Kevin Smith under the Bus by blaming everything on him when the backlash starts. This would have worked out for Mattel too because Kevin Smith already ruined his brand on his own. They wouldn’t have much to lose by virtue signaling against Kevin Smith. Also, fortunately for Mattel, Fans can (and will probably end up) separating the Toy Line from the KSMOTU Series due to the Nostalgia and the Designs being very similar (minus Teela & Andrea) to the Characters they loved. But denouncing Kevin Smith makes too much Sense for Mattel. So most likely, they won’t say anything about it…. 🤷♂️ EDIT: Yup! I looked up Mattel on Twitter and NOTHING about Kevin Smith’s Screw Ups of him chasing away the Fan Base…Of course! 😫
When will they learn that fans are the parents now. To become a truely multigenerational property should be the ultimate goal of any franchise. I will not be getting any he-man toys for my children, nor will i be introducing MOTU to them.
Lucas understood a multi-generational franchise. I saw Star Wars A New Hope when I was in middle school. My children were introduced to Star Wars The Phantom Menace. My son had all of the different space ships as toys and l hung them from his bedroom ceiling when he did not care to play with them when he was older. Both of my son and daughter had Lego Star Wars sets and played Lego Star Wars video games. The Disney Star Wars lost interest for both of them. They were home from college and we had a choice between watching The Last Jedi to The Martian, they picked The Martian, even though we had to hang around over an hour to see it. We spent days talking about that movie. When we did see the Last Jedi, nobody talked about it, and nobody in my family was interested in seeing the next Disney Star Wars movie. I introduced my children to Dr Who when it was restarted, we even watched some of the original Dr Who together. Parents love to share their fond childhood memories with their own children. Kevin Smith does not understand this.
@@wvanyar1801 straight point you made that was just like this Galaxy edge part that they made in Disney the sad thing was originally the park was supposed to be based not in this black spire Outpost the weather but they came up with originally it was supposed to be different locations from the original trilogy Kathleen Kennedy went in with her brilliant ideas and said hey we're not making it for 50-year-olds we're making it for a new generation but her shortsightedness is also the reason why the sequel trilogy tanked she didn't have a cohesive plan she failed to realize the guys my age which I'm 48 and all a little bit older than me end up becoming parents and introduced their kids to these properties that we find so pure and wholesome and fun and adventurous this age now has taken things made it cynical and basically stabbed the dagger in the back of everything that made it good life skeletor took the end of his habit staff and drove it to Adam's back before he could even say I have the power the power was taken away but you made an awesome point introduce your kids to the original Motu and the 2000 x cuz those are the closest things to true Moto we have at this point take care of yourself God bless
@@alonzohall8939, you post made me smile. The Galaxy Edge at Disney world/land is a shake of the head moment. Sure Kennedy said she was doing it for the kids, not the adults. BUT who is paying for those tickets to get in? Not the kids but the parents, and if the parents don't also have fun, they are not likely to hand over over a $100 per person to go to the park.
I'm rebooting a 40-year-old franchise: Strawberry Shortcake, but, I'll call it "Straight Very Hot Steaks". All northern hairy guys with mustaches making BBQs at a trailer park settlement. Fans will love it.
In order for that to work, you still have to call it Strawberry Shortcake. Then lie about what you're doing to the character, then get mad at the fans when the don't accept it.

I wish that Mattel would make the King He-Man story! With He-Man marrying Teela the new Sorceress and their son Dare/He-ro the new champion of Eternia! Now that to me would be very very interesting.
Not edgy enough. He-Man should come out of the closet and start a homosexual relation with Cringer and Orko. While Skeletor explores his feelings for Beastman and Trap Jaw.
I asked a manager friend of a toy store to notify me once the MotU toy line arrives.

Decisions like this is why Mattel is close to bankruptcy. They keep ruining all their toy lines, and that even includes Barbie. I remember when Mattel lost the Disney Princess license to Hasbo.
Wait, they're almost bankrupt? At this rate, they might just have to sell their properties to Hasbro at this point if they want to stay afloat. On the other hand, if Hasbro is doubling down on their CRT training programs, I think we may be in trouble...
@@harlannguyen4048 - Of course, it has been proven that CRT does not work. These corporations just do not care. They will continue to push it, because it is propaganda.
After watching Revelations, I cancelled me pre-orders of these toys. I just bought the Super 7 versions based on the Funimation designs. I wish they'd make the Funimation versions again but with updated articulation system. They should just give a chance to Bandai Figuarts to make the SUPERIOR versions of He-Man toys.
Why would they assume the men are holding the women back instead of the women being smarter. Evil-lyn could be the power behind the throne or just waiting for Skeletor to win before swooping in. And Teela could have figured out the secret a long time ago from clues and just been waiting so as not to out Adam.
Well, growing up includes manning up to the mistakes one makes... "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones." Mattle, Kevin Smith and Netflix can keep this Power Girls of the Universe and shove it where the sun never shines.
They can't. Mattel doesn't own the entertainment rights to MOTU. They sold those off years ago. They are still the owners of the brand, so they maintain control of the toys and other merchandising. If Classic Media (the owners of the cartoon licence) wants to let Netflix make a new cartoon, they can do so.
I feel like people that don’t watch Netflix (all those different subscriptions to streaming services can get expensive so they might have cut it out before this) might buy a figure or two if they don’t know the original story and liked the look. I know I bought some figures for shows I knew nothing about because the toy was cool looking (in my eyes. Can’t speak for everyone lol)
The fact that famed Indy outsider Kevin Smith was making a toy based cartoon show for a tv streaming service is a sign that Kevin Smith has already drastically impacted Kevin Smith’s career. Everyone remembers Clerks. But his modern career is a parade of awful failures. Shit nobody wants to watch. Every time a studio has hired him has ended badly for the studio.
@@andrewtaylor940 clerks was the last good thing he made, and even then it wasn’t that great. I can only imagine how bad this supposed clerks 3 he is working on now will be.

LOVED Aaron's commentary! Please bring him in more! His notes on the toys, his insider scoop on shows like the Animated Green Lantern and Young Justice series, (and why they died due to corporate idiocy), was fantastic! Awesome episode!!!
the best way to hurt kevin smith is to not watch clerks 3 and let it financial flop show him that his name as a director is mud and that nothing with his name attached to it will ever be financial successful ever again

As a She-Ra girl, YES, I had Hordak and several other Horde characters. My brother had all the He-Man stuff, and I had the She-Ra stuff. We watched both the shows together. She-Ra was the epitome of a strong female character at the time, and she didn't have to have a romance to be so. Which subsequently means I don't watch the new She-Ra show.
It's a pretty safe bet that Mattel will have to basically give away the toys. It's hard to believe that they allowed Kevin Smith to tank their franchise.

If I was an executive at Mattel I would be seeing every shade of red AND the pinks and oranges in-between at Smith popping off at the mouth. I don't care if I would need to form a pact with Loki, I'd break that contract ASAP.
I'd be willing to bet damn near anything that the execs at both Netflix and Mattel tear him a new one. Netflix because he basically said live on a stream that they don't really care the fans think, and Mattel because he's definitely hurting their sales.
@@allamericanslacker2378 I'm sure they did. But I'd bet double that Smith didn't give a damn. Probably had his feet kicked up on the table and was like "Blah, blah, blah, I'm Kevin Smith and consequences don't apply to me". But his hubris is going to be the coup de grace in this whole thing. I give it six to eight months of lying low, and he goes on another tangent when former fans want nothing to do with him. At which point he'll make an egregious comparison of his "turmoil" to a real tragic incident then people will want him gone. Or it'll happen sooner when the romance baiting becomes apparent, say after four months, and the LGBT+ community want his skin then he gets the Josh Wheaton treatment and is booted off his own damn show.
@@zenvariety9383 That's a very good point. But somehow I doubt if Mattel or Netflix would pursue such a thing. If they do though...I'll be all over that.
Growing up used to watch carebears I did like it but loved dark wing duck, goof troop, C.O.P.S, the original inspector gadget and the reruns of spiderman 67 cartoon such great memories.

What's worse than making a show "just to sell toys"?
Failing to make a show to sell toys.
What do you expect from blindly optimistic people who don't think past five minutes after taking a dump and just screech to eat the rich while pirating stuff?
Reminds me of the Nu-Ra situation and how badly their toys did. They kept insulting MOTU for being about toys but they celebrated when their own toys came out, only to bitch when they were so badly made.
I think the worst was getting your really well-thought-out show cancelled because the toys you sold for it were of lower quality than Chinese bootleg which happened a couple years back
@@SuperCosmicMutantSquid OH yeah, didn;t they also try and act like these toys sold well. Due to very few people buying them and now they are rare as heck.

Kevin Smith telling anyone to “grow up” is a joke that writes itself.

Imagine being told to grow up by a guy that took pictures of himself crying over the star wars sequel trilogy...
The only people who're obsessed with "growing up" or the illusion of growing up are children.
Your comment made Kevin Smith cry. Like everything else does.
I mean this is the guy whose movies highlighted the Phantom Edits. Literally highlighted how the web was for shittalking. From the 90s. How bizarre
Kevin Smith: 'Grow the F UP!"
Fan: 'Ok we won't buy the toys'
Mattel:'No wait, what?!'
go woke, go broke
@@kyotheman69 take away the fans but prepare for the product to fail its land.
He told us to grow up, and I was told that grown ups don't buy toys for themselves, so we're just doing what he told us to do. We're growing the F up and not buying toys.

@@mrsanatra1 it's there fault they let these people in the door what did they think would happen
Theory: The color purple has long been used in old comics to represent villains ie Lex Luther or the Joker. As a "comic book fan" Kevin must know this. Kevin Smith wears that purple blazer because even he sees himself as a villain these days.

@@Kuricapitalist thats why sygmar said “imagine”, if the showrunner said that to the potential toy buyers, affect the toy sale, if the company itself said that it will be the doom
I don't think this is Mattel's fault. They are in financial danger. I think Smith backstabbed them to please Netflix and future liberal investors.
Maybe Mattel agreed to the cliffhanger but didn't realize the series would be ulta-woke. I hope Mattel saved the second half. If it's the same or worse, we should blame Netflix. (I kind of like the Teela figure. She looks better than the cartoon character.)
Imagine telling adults to grow up when your revenue relies on toy sales.
HAHAHHAHAHAH the whole Kevin Smith and MOTU plot is just a big joke where exactly THAT statement is the punchline. "Grow up" BWAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
And his hats on backwards 😂
Imagine telling adults to grow up because they dislike your cartoon.
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” C.S. Lewis

I grew up with the 80s Motu loved it and I love revelation there's nothing wrong with it at all it's just little fanboys crying that it's not all about he man saving the day as usual.
@@Rat_King_Reviews never watched he man, but you are outnumbered. Your shaming tactics dont seem to be effective
In it for the paycheck? I don't think so... I think the paycheck was nice, but I think he saw an opportunity like so many do, to put a bunch of corporate approved social justice talking points into this show, figuring he would spend the next several months laying back and enjoying all of the praise for how progressive he is. On some level he's got to know going into it that pushing the content in a certain direction will all but guarantee a 90 something score on rotten tomatoes just from the activists writing about it
It honestly feels like Smith was in for the check, but Netflix bigwigs were so up his butt about wanting to include these "identity quota points" to look progressive. PR people who weren't aware of the subject creates that dissonant backlash.
Except, this kind of backlash has happened several times even with Netflix involved. Makes you wonder how deep these virtue signalling points are in their butts and they probably enjoy the feeling too.
yup, i think that hollywood only sees things in how the media/critics review it. They think the plebes just need to be told how good it is in order to like it. Its why they desperately cling to social justice garbage to avoid backlash from activists. Too bad the activists don't consume their products/entertainment.
He's so stunning. So brave. So full of shit.
No, you can tell by the way he's been shilling breakfast cereals and Puma shoes and whatnot that he's only in it for the money. He'll write wokeshit if that's what Netflix pays him for.

@@ooze1982 INDEED
It's a real shame too when you think about it. As difficult as they have been to find, I and many I know adore the new Origins line and the Mega Contrux builds and figures are great! Late 2019 and into 2020 really has felt like a wonderful revival of the toyline and the announcements (not the end results but the announcements) gave a ton of long-time fans so many good feelings. No matter where you stand on the recent She-Ra shows, that didn't really do much for the toylines and branding as a whole but it felt like we were finally back on the right track.
Smith and Ted Biaselli, whose name should also be brought up more in the conversation, (Teds just been quieter, also check out Midnight's Edge's excellent video "He-Man's Last Jedi" for more info) have really done a disservice. Again, it's a shame but you're right, Mattel will only listen when their bottom line is affacted. Then they might be a bit more protective of the IP going forward. Maybe. Hopefully.
Why am I not surprised. They killed Thomas. You. Can’t get lower than that.

@@astarteswillum5259 sadly, that seems to be true nowadays.
To be fair, Kevin Smith is not the only one at fault here. Mattel and Netflix were both directly involved in the production and direction of this show. Smith would not have been allowed to do anything without their approval and this has been stated elsewhere. Smith is pretty much just the face of the project.
@@AmbientShades that's fair... Sad Christmas.
Imagine this; if the next license owner were to make another MOTU series: "set up for the plot cut to Teela waking up in her bed all agitated from a nightmare, Orco enters and asks "Teela are you alright" She goes "Yes, yes. Just a nightmare. Adam was dead, he was HeMan and I shaved my head".
OMG that would be classic!!!
👏👏👏👍Brilliant!
Kevin Smith is living proof of the saying: "You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain".
I lost my oldest son 3 years ago in an accident. That scene of Teela throwing a fit and yelling at Adam's parents over not being told he was He-man right after his passing completely pissed me off. That made Teela forever evil in my opinion.
The scene was completely tone deaf. She did not shed a single tear for the whole show and just made it all about her.
They ruined her forever.

I hope Mattel saved the second half. A troll cliffhanger could attract attention to a weak franchise, but Smith way overdid the woke and the edgelord garbage. Likely, he was trying to hard to please Netflix and liberal investors for future projects. Maybe he wants to be the next Rian Johnson. Trolling made Johnson rich.
If the need to sell toys by a company in financial danger can't stop the woke, I don't know what can. If the second half is the same or worse, this series must be Netflix's fault.

Ah yes, "Grow the fuck up" they say as they expect and demand you to buy their toys in the same breath. A brilliant market strategy, truly.
Their strategy is to shame you into buying since it something that usually works. The thing is we are immune to it.
@@Nelcomarproductions True, but the irony in this is that they demand you to be mature while you buy a product catered towards children. Going back to the shaming point, I would also say, immunity is a factor, but I think it starting to backfire even from the people that were susceptible to the tactic to begin with.
It's not about wanting YOU to buy their toys, that's the thing. They seek to encourage others to buy them to spite you.
If the point of the show is to boost toy sales, maybe listen to what the customer and fans want, those "journalist and twitter critics" not going to buy any of those toys.
It's the call of duty effect. Every game company tried chasing that cod money. Hardcore gamers are not the majority. The market of casuals is huge. Many games started to become cod like and disenfranchised the core fans. So instead of being happy with 5-10 million sales they wanted 20 million in sales. They ended up selling 1 million or less.

"He-man toys aren't for you kids" - Kevin Smith trying to sell products to the kids
Well, by prohibiting something it may be more desired, maybe that was the only non-that-stupid thing in this fiasco.
With my previous state in mind, I hope no one buy any toy until this gets fixed, else, I can still remember that at the end of the 80's cartoons, there was at least a human soul that wanted to give a good advice despite doing something for money; and by that they were "richer" and will be remembered as long as I can while I'll forget this crap as soon as I can.
He-Man was created to sell toys. Much like Transformers, GI Joe, and all other 80s cartoons. All of them were created to sell toys. It wasn't until the 90s the laws changed to stop direct marketing.
true
You guys better watch out when, Kevin Smith, does a "Goldfish Tv" reference in Clerks 3.
Yeah, they'd likely be overjoyed and enjoy that extra influx of subscribers.
Isn't the fact that the series is much darker and more mature also bad for toy sales? Like the people who buy toys are mostly kids and I don't think a lot of kids would be allowed to see the Netflix show.
The show was advertised and aimed at the "30-40 year old people who knew the 80s show", so it was kind of expected to be more "mature".
As "mature" as the 2002 could be in comparison to the 80s one since it was targeted at teenagers rather than 5-6 year olds.
There is also a new Kid show version of MotU coming, that was probably just terminally wounded by this dumpster fire.
No not at all . Kids love that kind of stuff .
@@MajinZarak If that’s the case, they really screwed things up by writing a story that changes things in such a way to alienate their target audience, apparently.
@@EyeOfMagnus4E201 I don’t think that they screwed up as the marketing and Kevin Smith’s online comments pretty much showed that they were aware what people wanted. So there is no accident involved here, everything went down as it was supposed to go down.

Mattel: We want to sell toys.
The fans: Alan Oppenheimer Skeletor cackles for 2 mins straight.

Kevin Smith has been a fake fan his entire life. Real fans research the characters before doing anything with them.
heck that sounds like what a professional would do. Which Kevin Smith is meant to be. A professional creator, not a fanfic writer. Than again, professional doesn't mean having professional standards anymore sadly.
If someone doesn't know always look back at the as those who originally created the product he should have brought people from the 2002 that would have kept the show on a better path but no sjw nonsense you know they only their shortsighted.
For me he was always a poser.
should of stayed silent.
Can i have the ray gun please?
I'm rooting for Skeletor at this point. All hail the Dark Master of The Universe.
I too am curious about the regime of Skeletor. For all we know it'll be the start of a Golden Age...
As long as he's not Skele joker
Sadly regardless of how bad this looks i would never root for skeletor, rather i prefer to summon a true hero to annihilate him, maybe kenshiro is available and contrary to He-man, he Will not be defeated
I for one welcome our new Skeletal overlord.
I hope with Skelegod or whatever he's named, he'd have a different voice like with Galvatron in the 1985 Transformers movie.
Maybe Mark Hamill can change the voice to more like Ozin, Seletica or The Specter.
One has to wonder why Mattel didn't reach out to Seth Green and/or the other Robot Chicken guys instead of Kevin Smith. At least we know Seth is a fan of MOTU and most likely wouldn't have fucked up this bad, given Netflix it still would've been woke regardless but hopefully with Seth at the helm, it wouldn't have been unwatchable like the Smith version.
It probably depends on who was truly in charge, was it Mattel or Netflix? It usually is the one with the money, so could have been only Netflix.
Execs in big corporations get replaced fairly rapidly, so they seldom stick around to take the blame for their mistakes.
@@davidgantenbein9362 A show that replaced a man with a woman who's a rug eater? Netflix is definitely in charge of this! Mattel didn't even probably know that Teela was the lead and He-man was a side character cause Kevin probably lied to them.
I was a grown-a** man, and absolutely loved the PowerPuff Girls.😂 Great theme, great characters.
Kids don’t know what trans is. So they would not buy a trans-Teela toy. They would just think that Teela was ugly and choose not to buy her.
"Trans" is used in "transparent", "transform" and "transport". Chances are kids think "trans" is related to those words since "trans" itself is actually Latin for "across, through".
Just my two cents ...
But I think there is a reason why Kevin didn't want to meet with the toy representatives on this toy line. Because they went into this thinking this was a reboot of He-Man. He didn't want to meet with them and have to admit to them it wasn't. It was another woke take on a very masculine TV show. Toy representatives would have went into that meeting that sales would be through the roof. Now, they are probably wondering if anybody is going to get laid off. It is going to be a repeat of the Star Wars trilogy.

Y'all are seriously fucking reaching for things to bitch about.
Looked at Mattel Stocks yesterday and it was dropping like a Rock! Closed at 19.12 (-0.31 (-1.60%)) for the weekend. And it’s gotten REALLY bad where unlike sinking Disney Stocks, there is NO ONE on the Analysts’ Boards trying Hype Stocks and spin that it’s a “Perfect Time” to buy now since the stocks are so low. I think (and HOPE) Mattel feels this one. Then HOPEFULLY they’ll Learn their Lesson about Chasing away the ACTUAL Fans whom are the ones who BUYS their Toys! 😤
👏👏😎
I really hope they denounce Kevin Smith.
@@johnfrancismalinao6446 They won’t because they are JUST as inept as Kevin Smith.
What they are going to do is the thing Kevin Smith was SUPPOSED to do and JUST KEEP QUIET! When in reality, what they are supposed to do is what Kevin Smith was doing before the Show Premiered. They should Talk and Hype up the Toy Line and take the EASY out by throwing Kevin Smith under the Bus by blaming everything on him when the backlash starts. This would have worked out for Mattel too because Kevin Smith already ruined his brand on his own. They wouldn’t have much to lose by virtue signaling against Kevin Smith.
Also, fortunately for Mattel, Fans can (and will probably end up) separating the Toy Line from the KSMOTU Series due to the Nostalgia and the Designs being very similar (minus Teela & Andrea) to the Characters they loved. But denouncing Kevin Smith makes too much Sense for Mattel. So most likely, they won’t say anything about it…. 🤷♂️
EDIT: Yup! I looked up Mattel on Twitter and NOTHING about Kevin Smith’s Screw Ups of him chasing away the Fan Base…Of course! 😫
When will they learn that fans are the parents now. To become a truely multigenerational property should be the ultimate goal of any franchise. I will not be getting any he-man toys for my children, nor will i be introducing MOTU to them.
Lucas understood a multi-generational franchise. I saw Star Wars A New Hope when I was in middle school. My children were introduced to Star Wars The Phantom Menace. My son had all of the different space ships as toys and l hung them from his bedroom ceiling when he did not care to play with them when he was older. Both of my son and daughter had Lego Star Wars sets and played Lego Star Wars video games.
The Disney Star Wars lost interest for both of them. They were home from college and we had a choice between watching The Last Jedi to The Martian, they picked The Martian, even though we had to hang around over an hour to see it. We spent days talking about that movie. When we did see the Last Jedi, nobody talked about it, and nobody in my family was interested in seeing the next Disney Star Wars movie.
I introduced my children to Dr Who when it was restarted, we even watched some of the original Dr Who together.
Parents love to share their fond childhood memories with their own children. Kevin Smith does not understand this.
I'd say introduce them to the 2002 reboot, it's everything this show promised to be and more.
@@wvanyar1801 straight point you made that was just like this Galaxy edge part that they made in Disney the sad thing was originally the park was supposed to be based not in this black spire Outpost the weather but they came up with originally it was supposed to be different locations from the original trilogy Kathleen Kennedy went in with her brilliant ideas and said hey we're not making it for 50-year-olds we're making it for a new generation but her shortsightedness is also the reason why the sequel trilogy tanked she didn't have a cohesive plan she failed to realize the guys my age which I'm 48 and all a little bit older than me end up becoming parents and introduced their kids to these properties that we find so pure and wholesome and fun and adventurous this age now has taken things made it cynical and basically stabbed the dagger in the back of everything that made it good life skeletor took the end of his habit staff and drove it to Adam's back before he could even say I have the power the power was taken away but you made an awesome point introduce your kids to the original Motu and the 2000 x cuz those are the closest things to true Moto we have at this point take care of yourself God bless
@@alonzohall8939, you post made me smile. The Galaxy Edge at Disney world/land is a shake of the head moment. Sure Kennedy said she was doing it for the kids, not the adults. BUT who is paying for those tickets to get in? Not the kids but the parents, and if the parents don't also have fun, they are not likely to hand over over a $100 per person to go to the park.
Same here.
Imagine living at a time where the concept of masculine men and feminine women is controversial and revolutionary.
and all the girls acting like moron punk girls and men being beaten up by them...
It's not controversial outside of the Hollywood bubble. But even those guys avoid masculine women in real life.
I'm rebooting a 40-year-old franchise: Strawberry Shortcake, but, I'll call it "Straight Very Hot Steaks". All northern hairy guys with mustaches making BBQs at a trailer park settlement. Fans will love it.
In order for that to work, you still have to call it Strawberry Shortcake. Then lie about what you're doing to the character, then get mad at the fans when the don't accept it.
What annoys me is, KS tells fans to " grow up " ???

This was such a stab in the back, now Kevin Smith adds insult to injury calling fans fake while being exposed as a fake fan
Kevin should have listen to those end credit messages from He-Man and learned from them if he was a ‘fan’ of the show.
The “Kevin Smith brand” went from “friend of the fans” to “traitorous douchebag” in one night.
I buy the Origins figures, but have relied on other collectors to help me fill in the characters that I’ve missed. I love the line because it’s also compatible with the Masters of the WWE Universe.

Not edgy enough. He-Man should come out of the closet and start a homosexual relation with Cringer and Orko. While Skeletor explores his feelings for Beastman and Trap Jaw.

I asked a manager friend of a toy store to notify me once the MotU toy line arrives. When the news of the show came out even before it was aired, I called my friend not to inform me anymore since I changed my mind about buying the toys.
Toys allow you to reenact the awesome battles of the heroes vs. the villains. What's to reenact now?
You can reenact Skeletor taking Prince Adam from behind.
@@PHToysBuildGawa 😂😂😂
Remember the ads they run in the 80's?
Imagine the same format where kids reenacting that.
I just saw a meme where Kevin's face replaced Skeletor's as he skewered Prince Adam from behind.
Decisions like this is why Mattel is close to bankruptcy. They keep ruining all their toy lines, and that even includes Barbie. I remember when Mattel lost the Disney Princess license to Hasbo.
Wait, they're almost bankrupt? At this rate, they might just have to sell their properties to Hasbro at this point if they want to stay afloat.
On the other hand, if Hasbro is doubling down on their CRT training programs, I think we may be in trouble...
@@harlannguyen4048 - Mattel is also doing the CRT stuff. I noticed it with some of the Barbie webisodes.
@@ChienaAvtzon Well that sucks. Has it been statistically proven that CRT does not work yet?
@@harlannguyen4048 - Of course, it has been proven that CRT does not work. These corporations just do not care. They will continue to push it, because it is propaganda.
After watching Revelations, I cancelled me pre-orders of these toys. I just bought the Super 7 versions based on the Funimation designs. I wish they'd make the Funimation versions again but with updated articulation system. They should just give a chance to Bandai Figuarts to make the SUPERIOR versions of He-Man toys.
They might have a shot at the license again in 2023 when Universal takes the rights!
As a talking point reminder, Skeletor needed Evil-Lyn's help to cause an eclipse by moving a planet.

Why wouldn’t the sorceress question he-man about not having his sword
Why would they assume the men are holding the women back instead of the women being smarter. Evil-lyn could be the power behind the throne or just waiting for Skeletor to win before swooping in. And Teela could have figured out the secret a long time ago from clues and just been waiting so as not to out Adam.

"Grow up" Says the guy who dresses like a wannabe teenager
"How do you do fellow teenagers?" XD
Mattel should cut the license and sue for losses
They can't. Mattel doesn't own the entertainment rights to MOTU. They sold those off years ago. They are still the owners of the brand, so they maintain control of the toys and other merchandising. If Classic Media (the owners of the cartoon licence) wants to let Netflix make a new cartoon, they can do so.
"Grow the fuck up and buy my child toy!"
There was a good reason why Bob was silent. Sadly… that didn’t last.

@@cyberleaderandy1 who's admiral holdo again ? She sounds like a star wars character that is so forgettable
This saga of K.S. and his ridiculous take on what he has said and done. Not surprised if it does affects toy sales.
It will definitely affect toy sales. Old school fans are the ones most likely to buy the toys, and those are the people he's been basically berating.
I feel like people that don’t watch Netflix (all those different subscriptions to streaming services can get expensive so they might have cut it out before this) might buy a figure or two if they don’t know the original story and liked the look. I know I bought some figures for shows I knew nothing about because the toy was cool looking (in my eyes. Can’t speak for everyone lol)
This will drastically effect any future projects Kevin is involved in. He dosent even realize this YET!
"Kevin Smith" is now a penny stock! It won't be long before he is delisted entirely.
The fact that famed Indy outsider Kevin Smith was making a toy based cartoon show for a tv streaming service is a sign that Kevin Smith has already drastically impacted Kevin Smith’s career. Everyone remembers Clerks. But his modern career is a parade of awful failures. Shit nobody wants to watch. Every time a studio has hired him has ended badly for the studio.
@@andrewtaylor940 clerks was the last good thing he made, and even then it wasn’t that great. I can only imagine how bad this supposed clerks 3 he is working on now will be.
Wonder if he will cry because of it?
I mean we know he will cry over his wallet being empty because of him pushing away the people that would have seen Clerks 3
LOVED Aaron's commentary! Please bring him in more! His notes on the toys, his insider scoop on shows like the Animated Green Lantern and Young Justice series, (and why they died due to corporate idiocy), was fantastic! Awesome episode!!!
the best way to hurt kevin smith is to not watch clerks 3 and let it financial flop show him that his name as a director is mud and that nothing with his name attached to it will ever be financial successful ever again
I know I won't be watching it now after he said grow up, that really made me lose respect for him. I would have still supported his new movies because I don't like everything everyone does, but when you say that, I'm done.
I don’t think there was ever much chance of Clerks 3 being successful. Did you see the Jay & Silent Bob Reboot?
I haven't had any intention of watching any of his movies ever since seeing Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. That movie was crap.
I don't even know what "clerks" is.
@@KroVey clerks is comedy franchise about two douche bag friends who runs a convenience store at a small town in the state of new jersey most of the humor consists of stuff only a teenager who just hit puberty would find funny

Should’ve thought this one through, Mattel. Without respect, we reject.
As a She-Ra girl, YES, I had Hordak and several other Horde characters. My brother had all the He-Man stuff, and I had the She-Ra stuff. We watched both the shows together. She-Ra was the epitome of a strong female character at the time, and she didn't have to have a romance to be so. Which subsequently means I don't watch the new She-Ra show.
It's a pretty safe bet that Mattel will have to basically give away the toys. It's hard to believe that they allowed Kevin Smith to tank their franchise.

From what I'm feeling, Kevin may have just had had an in with that Teddy guy at Netflix via connections so he never got the job through passion, just through knowing and pleasing the right people. It's nepotism at work again.
If I can make a comment on this, my dad in his younger days never got any of his jobs via resumes (he once told me that he sends out a hundred resumes and never got any calls from any of the companies he sent them to). It was always through networking. And I'm not trying to diss him, since he's really good at his job.
@@harlannguyen4048 Yeah, networking is the key but I have a feeling your pop puts a lot more passion into his job than what we're seeing with a lot of folks now who see jobs more like collectables.

As a collector im definitely not buying anything from Revelations even tho the skeletor looks cool. They can absolutely blame kevin and the others that put out that crap for the loss of toy sales.
I’m with you. I collect MOTU, my wife has been pointing out Revelations stuff and I refuse to buy any of it. Toys, comics anything with Revelations at this point doesn’t exist, not interested.

If I was an executive at Mattel I would be seeing every shade of red AND the pinks and oranges in-between at Smith popping off at the mouth. I don't care if I would need to form a pact with Loki, I'd break that contract ASAP.
@Garrett Wayne A part of me wants to feel bad, but knowing how Mattel can be shady I also don't feel THAT bad.
I'd be willing to bet damn near anything that the execs at both Netflix and Mattel tear him a new one. Netflix because he basically said live on a stream that they don't really care the fans think, and Mattel because he's definitely hurting their sales.
@@allamericanslacker2378 I'm sure they did. But I'd bet double that Smith didn't give a damn. Probably had his feet kicked up on the table and was like "Blah, blah, blah, I'm Kevin Smith and consequences don't apply to me".
But his hubris is going to be the coup de grace in this whole thing. I give it six to eight months of lying low, and he goes on another tangent when former fans want nothing to do with him. At which point he'll make an egregious comparison of his "turmoil" to a real tragic incident then people will want him gone. Or it'll happen sooner when the romance baiting becomes apparent, say after four months, and the LGBT+ community want his skin then he gets the Josh Wheaton treatment and is booted off his own damn show.
He technically violated his NDA. So suing him for spoiling the show and attacking customers would be valid.
@@zenvariety9383 That's a very good point. But somehow I doubt if Mattel or Netflix would pursue such a thing. If they do though...I'll be all over that.
can't wait to see the multitudes of teela and other he-man action figurines sitting in stores gathering dust and getting cheaper by the day.
Like modern Dr Who, the vintage stuff sells whilst the modern stuff gathers dust.
Growing up used to watch carebears I did like it but loved dark wing duck, goof troop, C.O.P.S, the original inspector gadget and the reruns of spiderman 67 cartoon such great memories. As someone who's trying to get a graphic novel published and a potential action figure going this teaches me a lot.
