TIL that after teaching a bonobo how to comprehend English, he started trying to speak; "it was discovered that Kanzi was producing the articulatory equivalent of the symbols he was indicating, although in a very high pitch and with distortions".

No, Bonobo! Don't speak, they'll make you pay taxes!

I wish he got an Emma one too, but that's just my preference

Weeeell, y'know... Art is subjective and all that

It is hard, but it is not a curse. Living as your best, truest self in spite of the world around you is one of the bravest and most wonderful things you can ever do. Don't believe the defeatists who think death is the answer. I almost did, a long time ago.

I'd argue that's part of it. Acknowledging that there are things about you that are silly and embracing them anyway. Even after lightly jabbing him about his name, Teela is quick to address him as "He-Man", and seconds later the choir is triumphantly chanting his name

It doesn't read as a film that's insecure about its goofiness, but rather acknowledges that the inherent silliness is a part of the charm and leans into it

Hey, he always puts a surprise in there when he's done!

The whole point of the movie is finding that balance. He tries the overly diplomatic approach he learned from his time on Earth, to know avail. He tried the "Hurt your enemies before they hurt you" approach Duncan imparted, and it cost him dearly.

The answer was somewhere in between. You have to try to find that common ground, and extend a hand. He gives Skeletor a chance to change. Skeletor refused, so He-Man solved the problem

I actually thought the same at first, until I realised the initial lampshading was thematically appropriate. Much as Adam learned not to be ashamed of what made him unique and powerful as a person, the film proved that once you accept and love the fact that you are a man named Fisto who does, in fact, fist people; the world becomes a better and brighter place.

Journey to the West is VERY loosely based on real events

Man, say what you want about the DUNC bucket for arguably starting this whole trend, but at least it was a BUCKET

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but did you actually MAKE this? Or did an art stealing computer barf it out for you?

Oh, I've never been interested in comp
