Ah yes. The modern audience. The euphemism used for ignoring much loved established story and lore that existed previously, and were going to ignore every last bit of it.

With He-Man, there are only two viable paths to go. Either a child-friendly cartoon. Or go full Heavy Metal with it, in both tone and soundtrack. Keep the noble heroes in all their righteous fury and noble actions, but make the villains competent this time, make the women hot, and don't be afraid to have the heroes cut down monsters and robots.

8:36 Skeletor occupied Snake Mountain. Just sayin 😉. Also the 2002 series on CN is probably the best overall interpretation of MOTU we've had balancing fun and seriousness. Naturally it was cancelled because CN executives are idiots.
Young Justice died for the same reason. I only found out Young Justice had toys (that I may have bought) because the series was being canceled "because the toys didn’t sell".
It was cancelled because it was a series of 39, very expensive-to-make, half-hour commercials for a bunch of toys that didn't sell. If you're going to sink the amount of money it takes to make two seasons of a network/cable animated TV series with the quality of animation and art in the 2002 He-man show, it darn well better make money selling toys, because you can bet that AD REVENUE of a niche-market cable network (where 75% of every ad-break is only advertising other CN shows) isn't going to cover the cost of production. That's why Cartoon Network prefers shows like Teen Titans Go! that two interns can animate in an afternoon. This was also the problem that led to the cancellation of other cool shows like Young Justice and the Thundercats reboot. Part of that is because the target audience for the show (8-10 year old boys) play video games now, not with toys - so, even if the show garners an audience, it isn't likely to sell toys (and thus, recoup the money it cost to make the show) - part of that is because a significant portion of the US population didn't have access to Cartoon Network, and so they never SAW it - and, of the ones who could, they were playing Smash Bros. or Halo or something instead of watching cartoons based on something their DADS liked. The only "idiotic" thing was green-lighting the series in the first place on the expectation that a business model developed in the early-80s (back when boys still played with toys) would still work twenty years after Nintendo killed the toy market so hard KayBees and Toy R Us had both gone bankrupt.
@@liljenborg2517 to be fair, the toys could've sold a bit better if the company behind them wasn't lead by idiots. They made like 50 different versions of He-Man and Skeletor, some of which were only on screen for 2 minutes in one episode while others weren't even in the show at all. And while those two characters are probably the most popular of them, their regular versions probably sold the best out of the bunch. Really, who the frick needs more than one of each? On the other side they skipped a lot of the characters, that people actually wanted for yet another He-Man and Skeletor. If they were smart they would've made only one version of them and produce more if they ever sold out and use the freed slots of the following lineups to make more characters from the show. And while you are 100% right about kids not playing with toys anymore in the early 2000's, that way they'd at least have sold more to the adult collectors.
@xenomorphphantom8852 Not sure what happened to your comment, but I do remember that. I had high hopes for that show, because it was eventually supposed to link up w/ SilverHawks & Tiger Sharks, in a shared universe. But, like all good things on CN, it got dropped, & we got 🤦♂️ "ThunderCats Roar!" Which threatened to make a version of SilverHawks worse than itself!
As bad as the old He-Man movie was it wanted to be He-Man. It just had zero budget, so it had to be set in a normal world. At least it tried to be He-Man as much as money allowed. I'm not looking forward to this new He-Man movie, because it seems to want to be its story and not He-Man. Like everything else now days it is all about them and not the IP.
They make movies for the people that DON’T know the source material NOT the fans. You know those people who MADE the product famous! Ever since the first X-Men movies that been the attitude of studios with exception of Pre-Disney Marvel studios. Now fans are bad for not buying the crap they try to package as SW, Marvel, DC, He-Man, Transformers and soon Voltron. Smdh
Kevin smith backstabbed Heman, turned Teela into an insufferable lesbian girlboss, and when we did see Heman he had to appologise for existing! Oh, and we also replaced Skeletor with Evil-Lyn. Now, we get tortured anxt ridden heman? Honestly! Is there any male character whom modern remakes won't humiliate and destroy? Hay Hollywood, how about you really "subvert expectations!" and give us a strong, heroic man who saves the day with a message of hope? Oh sorry, I forgot, Blackrock wouldn't like that!
Every single damn time: Old and beloved franchise gets abused by incompetents for "modern audience" (money laundering and shareholders), then they shriek "incel" as the movie flops hard while the franchise chrashes and burns to the ground and sinks into the oblivion.
Yeah if people don't recognize the buzzwords at this point then they can't be saved. As soon as I hear the word updated or modern audience I run for the door.
Considering that majority of support for MOTU is Gen X or the 40yr+ crowd. That's why this movie will fail before it even gets started. No one under the age of 40 cares about MOTU. Kids today don't watch MOTU or care about its history it's lineage. SO why target 1% of the audience instead of the other 99%?
I call it "The Coke II Effect" -- You change something that people have loved for years, or decades, or even generations, the customers are going to complain. Simple as that. Before they even announced any of the cast, the studio mentioned that Prince Adam would be stranded on Earth for ten years, and that's where they lost me.
Ah, yes, DragonBall Evolution, my favorite movie depicting "air bending." Seriously though, as HORRIFIC as Evolution was, at least it had a couple parts you could laugh at as "so bad they are good" (almost). With Shyamalon's Last Air Bender, there wasn't even THAT, just tedium. But with THIS new movie, I have a feeling the Dolph Lundgren version is going to start to look a whole lot better!!

@@OmarBhoo It's not lack of ideas, it's suits fearing new ideas too much and will not approve the budget for movies with new ideas.

Then he was so spiteful towards the suits that after they nagged him so much to make a second movie he made it terrible on purpose to make them lose money. This was an issue in the past too, but it's getting worse and worse, we are reaching a point of complete freeze.

Like with any major overhaul, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle as you alienate much of the traditional fans and attempt to draw in a new one. That's usually why the end result is a dumpster fire. You made something that wasn't what the IP represented in an attempt to push a product to a completely different audience, yet thought the traditional one would still show up. The only time that this sort of worked as far as I know was for the Yakuza: Like A Dragon video games. Amazon tried to do it for the tv show and it failed horribly.
Supposedly the fish out of water trope is popular again (or Hollywood is trying to make popular again) so that is why we are getting this crap of a 10 year old Adam coming to Earth and then finding the power sword at age 30 on earth before going back to Eternia. My only hope for this movie is they resist being lazy and having Orko be the nickname of a human comic relief character that is really into magic.
It actually seems like there is a concerted effort by Hollywood to say “eff you” to all the fans of every property. X-Men fans spent 25 years and almost a dozen films pining to see Wolverine in his actual colorful X-Men costume, and we finally got it in 2024 with Deadpool 3. The same thing goes for DC. The only film in the DCU to actually give fans what they wanted was Suicide Squad (the second attempt.)
Don't acknowledge anything bleeding tampons put blood on...... Don't touch it....... They need men's money........ They need men's job.... They need men's attention.......
They tried a live action movie in 1987. It didn't go well from what I understand. Also note the word. "Modern Audience." That already means the film is going to be subpar, like most movies these days. It's amazing how Hollywood fouls up what is easy money. You make thing, maybe update it with new visuals, maybe include some cut stuff. Have the fans approval and then you can sell merch and the fans will buy it. It's so easy yet somehow Hollywood doesn't do that. It's like they are allergic to money.
No one ever talks about the 1990's version of He-Man, "The New Adventures of He-Man". It didn't last long, only had one season. But, as a kid, I enjoyed it. Not as much as growing up in the 80's and watching actual He-Man, but it was enjoyable to me.
I HAVE THE POWER.... to not watch this drivel. Ya lost me at 'quite different from the source material'. I can already tell that this is going to be a woke as hell shitstorm where people who hate the audience and deliberately make it vindictively obvious that this is yet another agenda driven pile of shit are in charge of ruining it as hard as they can. I'm good, I'll keep my money, my clicks, and my time, thanks. I refuse to give them a penny or watch 1 second of the new show, and I don't consider the new show to be canon in any way shape or form. #boycot
I was a kid when He-Man first showed up on TV. It's really weird to me now that it's considered "classic". Even as dumb kids we all knew it was a cheaply made toy commercial. The only funny part of the show was that nobody could figure out the only guy on the planet who had a jacked physique and a blonde mullet was really He-Man.
Literally just got HatMotU on dvd for Christmas, and my 5yo son and 3yo daughter are now old enough for ethics, morals, virtues, and learning what bad people look like and act like. They will need the practice: the world will be testing them plenty. Now this. Oh well, I have the original.
If CHANGE didn't usually mean...FOR THE WORSE...less people would be apprehensive...but too often when things change...they are not improving only deteriorating.
I was just too young for the original, but the 2002 version was genuinely good. And it nailed the formula for an 'adaptations;' keep the spirit of the original, smooth out any story-inconsistencies, and give the story more of an edge. Too bad the movie (assuming the rumors are true) won't be anything like that...
The MotU mini comics were some of my earliest sources of reading material. I would love an animation of the OG stories. Yeah, some of the canon was contradictory, but that was a result of too many cooks in the kitchen.
Well, at least he says he's watched the originals - that's more than most recent stuff where stars are told not to. Don't have high hopes, but still a chance they meant different in a way that doesn't mean destroyed.

Supposedly the fish out of water trope is popular again (or Hollywood is trying to make popular again) so that is why we are getting this crap of a 10 year old Adam coming to Earth and then finding the power sword at age 30 on earth before going back to Eternia. My only hope for this movie is they resist being lazy and having Orko be the nickname of a human comic relief character that is really into magic.
Flash Gordon too apparently.... smh
Hollywood decides that it’s going to be a movie. FANS decide that it’s going to be a FRANCHISE.
It actually seems like there is a concerted effort by Hollywood to say “eff you” to all the fans of every property. X-Men fans spent 25 years and almost a dozen films pining to see Wolverine in his actual colorful X-Men costume, and we finally got it in 2024 with Deadpool 3. The same thing goes for DC. The only film in the DCU to actually give fans what they wanted was Suicide Squad (the second attempt.)
Barf and double barf. May these reimagineers EV's catch a thermal runaway.
Good old Nostalgicide.
Don't acknowledge anything bleeding tampons put blood on......
Don't touch it.......
They need men's money........
They need men's job....
They need men's attention.......
They tried a live action movie in 1987. It didn't go well from what I understand. Also note the word. "Modern Audience." That already means the film is going to be subpar, like most movies these days. It's amazing how Hollywood fouls up what is easy money. You make thing, maybe update it with new visuals, maybe include some cut stuff. Have the fans approval and then you can sell merch and the fans will buy it. It's so easy yet somehow Hollywood doesn't do that. It's like they are allergic to money.
Not for me.
Nor for anyone apparently
I watch movies to get away from reality for a couple of hours and Hollywood can't figure it out!!!!
Didnt silent bob already do that?
Good God what now….
Gem and the Holograms lol

No one ever talks about the 1990's version of He-Man, "The New Adventures of He-Man". It didn't last long, only had one season. But, as a kid, I enjoyed it. Not as much as growing up in the 80's and watching actual He-Man, but it was enjoyable to me.
"What part of this aren't you getting?"
"All of it?"

I HAVE THE POWER.... to not watch this drivel. Ya lost me at 'quite different from the source material'. I can already tell that this is going to be a woke as hell shitstorm where people who hate the audience and deliberately make it vindictively obvious that this is yet another agenda driven pile of shit are in charge of ruining it as hard as they can. I'm good, I'll keep my money, my clicks, and my time, thanks. I refuse to give them a penny or watch 1 second of the new show, and I don't consider the new show to be canon in any way shape or form. #boycot
They keep doing it to us because enough of us keep watching.
Kevin Smith still owes ClownfishTV an apology for the bait and switch😡
Any time you hear them say reimagine, reinterpret, subvert. You know it is going to be trash.
I’d stress Batman is supposed to be dark and gritty.
Superman is not Batman, Spider-Man is not Batman, and Heman is not Batman.
I was a kid when He-Man first showed up on TV. It's really weird to me now that it's considered "classic". Even as dumb kids we all knew it was a cheaply made toy commercial. The only funny part of the show was that nobody could figure out the only guy on the planet who had a jacked physique and a blonde mullet was really He-Man.
Literally just got HatMotU on dvd for Christmas, and my 5yo son and 3yo daughter are now old enough for ethics, morals, virtues, and learning what bad people look like and act like. They will need the practice: the world will be testing them plenty.
Now this. Oh well, I have the original.
If CHANGE didn't usually mean...FOR THE WORSE...less people would be apprehensive...but too often when things change...they are not improving only deteriorating.
I was just too young for the original, but the 2002 version was genuinely good. And it nailed the formula for an 'adaptations;' keep the spirit of the original, smooth out any story-inconsistencies, and give the story more of an edge. Too bad the movie (assuming the rumors are true) won't be anything like that...
The MotU mini comics were some of my earliest sources of reading material. I would love an animation of the OG stories. Yeah, some of the canon was contradictory, but that was a result of too many cooks in the kitchen.
I think they should try for a balance between light and serious. BTW, What? Skeletor lived in Castle Grayskull? No. He lived in Snake Mountain.
I’m an 80’s child and love the retro cartoon. But 2002 He-Man is where is live. It’s the last reincarnation I’ll probably ever accept.
Come on, give us the post-holiday Ollie’s video. We needs the precious.
“Everyone”
An audience of people that don’t actually exist
I actually want gritty and dark. I don’t know who wants a bright bubbly he-man in 2025
Well, at least he says he's watched the originals - that's more than most recent stuff where stars are told not to. Don't have high hopes, but still a chance they meant different in a way that doesn't mean destroyed.
If the film maker change the original character's looks and clothing designs I'm out.
I’ll never get the Alfredo Alcala post apocalyptic barbarian I wanted unless I use an AI app.
The rendering of Castle Greyskull at 5:14 is honestly pretty sweet
Too bad we already know that certainly won't be in the new movie 🤦♂
