Netflix should have teamed up with Robot Chicken to revive it… ;-) |

This would be a great project if it was matured as the original kids that played with the toys have matured. Turn it into a fantasy story with the orginal background of Eternia. You have He-Man as the champion and skeletor trying everything he can to gain the power of Grayskull by unite the two parts of the sword. It has a lot of neat fantasy elements in it, which, if made into a coherent story and leaving out crap that came later like Prince Adam and Uko, could be a good movie or show. But it sounds like they aren't going to do that. |

Yeah. That guy as He-Man. What Pictors said. It's great science-fantasy material to work with. Though the second cartoon series was very well done. But as near as I can tell, the American entertainment industry exists to bulldoze the graveyard of my childhood. |

I was never into He-Man; it came along when I was a teenager, and I though it was silly. (I preferred Thundarr the Barbarian.) However, the 1987 Masters of the Universe live action movie with Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella was fun, and worth watching, even if you're not a fan of the He-Man franchise, simply for Langella's performance as Skeletor. I doubt they'll top that. |

Agree, Parzival. Thundarr the barbarian was far superior, even though its prediction that the world would be destroyed in 1994 did not come true. |
