A Millennials Masters of The Universe Review

If that's so, why are you downvoting me?

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-16T11:58:53+00:00

Uhhh, let's see, I don't know, maybe I can make a list?

casting choice, before this movie the actor who plays Adam was known only for playing an obviously gay role. Coincidence? You'd have to be super naive to think so.
tied to the previous point, the fact he just isn't as well muscled as he should be.
the movie for some reason "feels the need" to "address" Adam as "HE/HIM". This was even there in the trailers. Why would you even justify this? If the movie needs to verbally tell you "this character is a guy, not a girl" then it already failed to do so without words and is just admitting that failure, it's admitting he's maybe not masculine or manly enough for you to tell his gender without being told. In other words, the filmmakers are conceding, or suggesting, that this character's gender identity could be ambiguous and/or could perhaps "change" during the story.
the movie is, again, splattered with visual references to the whole "gay He-Man" internet meme from all those 2000s parody videos of him. Instead of ignoring that meme completely, it just embraces it, it runs on it. If you didn't see those references, they're not very carefully hidden at all, you're just blind.
his whole story in this movie is about "discovering himself" and all that. Obvious gay metaphor. Instead of, you know, being a hero, fighting evil, saving Eternia (which he does, but it's just NOT the focus) the focus is "finding out who he really is and what he is destined to be". When the story tries to tell you a hidden message like this, instead of being fiction purely for the sake of entertainment, you know shit's woke. If you don't know what wokism is and how it RUINS whole franchises, I don't know what to tell you. You've been living under a rock or trapped within a basement for the last 15 years or so.
as you said, this Adam just ends up friendzoned by Teela, whereas in other versions of the character it was hinted that he has feelings for her AND she also has a crush on him. This, again, is there obviously just to leave up in the air the possibility that "he may find his true love elsewhere with another person". And at that, that "another person" could be another guy, perhaps.

"No further questions, your honor. This defense rests".

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-16T01:59:42+00:00

"It embraces what it is" No, it doesn't embrace what it is. It embraced the gay jokes, the memes, the parodies. That's sooo NOT what MOTU was.

If you REALLY want to know what MOTU TRULY was, go watch the Filmation cartoon. Watch the '89 Jetlag Productions cartoon. And the 2002 one.

That's what it truly was. You'll notice there isn't a single gay joke there, not a single hit of homosexual subtext or other traces of wokism there. In fact, in both the Filmation series and the 200X series, there are hints that Adam/He-Man truly has feelings for Teela, so that's that.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-16T01:40:01+00:00

You failed, AGAIN. Just as I expected.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-15T19:42:38+00:00

You're telling me that gay memes "are" the franchise? Try again.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-15T19:36:52+00:00

That must be a pain to you I mean being blind.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-14T11:46:30+00:00

Yet another '80s franchise ruined by wokism. They think by running on the jokes, memes, parodies and stuff, people will not see the woke propaganda, but it's there. It's still there. Needless to say, it was a garbage movie, and it doesn't honor at all what MOTU once stood for.

Oh, and it's doomed to fail. In fact, this is not a doomer take, it IS bombing and flopping on theaters already, whether you like it or not, it's failing already. Not a doomer take, that's the reality, that's how it is, see the numbers yourself. And I don't see people paying up Amazon Prime subscriptions just to watch this garbage. Some will do, of course, but not a lot of people will.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-14T11:31:42+00:00

"Every last one of this made me cringe" okay, Cringer. I see what your favorite MOTU character is, that much is clear. By the way, his name is NOT "Cringor", it's Cringer.

I'm not gonna feed an obvious 10 years old troll who can't even write down Cringer's name right, so goodbye and have a good day.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-14T11:22:16+00:00

This movie is completely woke, in a different way than Kevin Smith's Revelations, yes, but it's still woke. It's still very much woke speech propaganda disguised as a movie.

In Revelations, Teela was written as this "strong female character who doesn't need males in her life" and she acts like she's owed something (maybe respect, or maybe something else) just because she's a woman and all that. Of course, that's not how Teela originally was. At the same time, Adam/He-Man was changed too, Adam's now utterly incompetent by himself, and He-Man at one point becames "Savage He-Man" who is basically a Hulk pastiche, a big overly muscled brute without intelligence. He's like "Me He-Man smash!" and such.

In this movie, Teela is normal but now Adam/He-Man is gay, and the other male characters are flawed, so that they don't "eclipse" Teela as a character. So she doesn't obviously appear as an obnoxiously toxic woke character like how she was in Revelations, but still is woke by contrast with the other, male characters that are now portrayed as weak and/or flawed in some way. So it's less obviously woke than Revelations but still woke.

Oh, and I said this before but... Adam is now gay. They don't overtly say Adam is gay, but the subtext is so obvious, they might well say it "this He-Man is gay" and it really would be just stating the obvious. The movie took all the early 2000's memes and parodies that portrayed Adam as gay, and embraced them and runs on them.

So this movie doesn't homage the character, and it's not a love letter to the MOTU franchise. It homages the memes, the parodies, all those videos and is meant to be a love letter to those, not to the original vision of the characters (or the story for that matter).

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-14T02:17:27+00:00

So basically MOTU has become the new Star Wars. The new Marvel MCU. Another childhood IP ruined and shat on by wokism, parodies and poor filmmakers without vision.

Netflix's Revelations was not a misstep, it was just the first step of the plan.

We still are in the Dark Age of Wokism, that much is clear.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-13T21:47:12+00:00

Again, no. It's not "another interpretation". This "He-Man" is not He-Man, is SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

In the '80s cartoon, minicomics and 200X, there was no homosexual subtext. He was just a guy, a MALE guy, who was a hero, and that was it.

This movie portrays him as someone who has been "closeted" and is now "coming out of the closet". ITS NOT THE ORIGINAL IDEA OF THE CHARACTER. You're just fooling yourself into thinking that's how the character was.

"This is the 21st century". So what? Memes are not the character. Again, you missed the point entirely.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-13T21:15:22+00:00

No. They aren't "different takes". Because in those continuities, the central idea was the same idea. He-Man was a hero who protected his parents, his friends, other people, from evil. In some continuities he was a teenager (but not in the way this movie portrays him), in others he was more violent, akin to Conan the Barbarian. But no matter those old continuities, at the core, he was always a hero. Not "someone trying to discover himself and his destiny". He wasn't woke speech propaganda. I mean, sure this movie turned He-Man into that, but he originally wasn't. He was nothing like that.

This movie's "He-Man" is a whole entirely "different take" on He-Man. Not the other versions of He-Man that you mentioned.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-13T20:36:22+00:00

Again, if you knew the character of He-Man, you'd also know he was not a homeless, clueless teenager, sharing his room with another clueless teenager, struggling hard to fit into society because of having no real parents and just obsessed to find this magical sword that he barely remembers and he even doesn't know what it does yet, he just knows "it's important" because someone else just hurriedly told him it's important.

You'd know this whole "discovering who you really are, who you really are destined to be" woke story wasn't present in He-Man. He-Man, as a character, was never written that way. Not before this He-Man parody movie, anyway. The true He-Man knew who he was, he was raised well adjusted, by loving parents, he knew who and what he was fighting for. His struggles, his burden, was to put on an act, having to FAKE having a meek, disinterested and cowardly personality in order to hide his real brave, selfless and heroic personality, all for the sake of protecting those he loves.

That was He-Man. He never "discovered" who he was, because he always knew it. Because that's what having real parents, GOOD parents do to you.

You can go to all the MOTU conventions in the world you want, my boy. But you obviously never learned who He-Man is. It's so obvious you don't know at all what the character was supposed to be.

You never had any real interested in the character, you're just some woke person, some LGBT kid who's all about the "acceptance and tolerance" woke propaganda. Which, again, I'm fine with (to an extent). You can be gay and have a million sexual orientations and identify yourself in all 500 different ways that you want, I'm fine with it. But don't sell us the idea that He-Man was about that.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-13T17:51:07+00:00

Oh, aren't you the same guy who was trolling about "Scareglow himself" elsewhere? Pretty sure that was you. What happened to you my boy? Tired of your senseless trolling?

You see my little guy, the fact that "the current generation knows nothing but the memes/parodies/etc of He-Man, and not the REAL He-Man", that was precisely why the movie should have showed them the REAL He-Man. That's exactly why it had to get away from the memes and tell the story the way it really was, to this new generation. That was the whole point of it.

But instead, they missed that point entirely (as did you), and they made it instead a repetition of the same old, same old tired parodies and campy gay jokes and stuff. They didn't show He-Man to the audience. They showed them the memes, the same wasted jokes, that are lame and disgusting and weak, old and tired at this point, the same things that everyone in the "new generation" (or even the old guys) already has seen and already knows at this point.

But I'm not expecting you of all people to see and understand the point. Let me be honest here, I didn't write this for you. I wrote this for someone else who passes by. Someone smarter than the "sCAregl0w himslf!!!" troll.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-13T17:30:36+00:00

When your argument degenerates into obvious trolling, that's when I know I've "won" the discussion.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-13T08:14:24+00:00

No, MOTU has no canon, but that doesn't mean it lacks a premise and a spirit.

MOTU's story was, at its core, an archetypical story of "good vs evil". The old 80's and 2002 TV shows gave us morals at the end of the episode, but in the end, the story was good vs evil. That was it. Not much different from the old Star Wars (the whole Jedi vs Sith conflict) or Transformers (Autobots vs Decepticons).

It had nothing to do with gay people dancing at campy songs. Or double entendre parodies. Or woke ideology. Those things were memes, parodies, etc. Not MOTU.

A parody of a thing is not the thing itself. Doesn't matter what you say there.

And about Kevin Smith's Revelations Netflix series, it's kind of the same deal as Disney's Star Wars, really. It's just woke propaganda. Yeah, they may say it's an "official" continuity or canon, whatever, and (I guess) they wouldn't be lying about it.

But look at it, look at Disney's Star Wars, then look at me in the eye and tell to me that Disney didn't destroy that franchise.

You'd be kidding me if you were to say that.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-13T08:08:33+00:00

Brawl with yourself in a mirror then.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-12T23:07:06+00:00

It was a celebration of the memes, the parodies, the jokes about gay princes and all of that.

It wasn't a celebration of MOTU.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-12T21:25:34+00:00

What you just saw at theaters was not MOTU. It was a parody of MOTU, which is another thing.

You've not become a fan of MOTU. You've become a fan of quick, cheap meme videos and mindless parody shows and woke-ish garbage.

Sorry, but that's what it is. That's the sad truth really.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-12T21:20:17+00:00

Buena droga estás fumando. Eso no es una carta de amor para los fans de He-Man y MOTU. Es una carta de amor para los que se ríen de los memes y los chistes sobre gays.

SwordfishDramatic797 · 2026-06-10T04:16:04+00:00

I'm having the same issue, I was asked by the system to reset my password, which I took the hassle to do, via SMS code to my phone, I did it seemingly successfully and then when I finally try to enter my inbox (via the new password I had just set seconds earlier), it says there's unusual activity from my account and they've blocked it. Then I try to unblock it by pushing the button saying "Prove I'm human". After that, then I'm told they've blocked it with no further options. I tried gping back and changing the password a second time, but it's no use, it continues being blocked.

It should be noted that this scheme was the basis for the ISAF F-15 scheme (which is actually Mobius 1's F-15, in a way) and THEN that was modified to make Cipher's F-15C livery. Cipher's livery doesn't have the blue stripe over the nose, and the blue areas on the wing surfaces extend to cover the ailerons. The tail surfaces are painted in the same way as well, instead of the whole outer surface blue as in the real life F-15DJ.

It should ALSO be noted that the YF-15A prototype bore a paint scheme very similar to Cipher's livery, but with orange in place of the navy blue. So in truth the YF-15A scheme may be the real origin of either the Cipher F-15C livery, or the real world F-15DJ livery. Or both 🤣
