![]() ![]() How dare Kevin Smith, that bastard, try to ruin all our childhoods by giving Teela any kind of storyline! Whispers began swirling that He-Man was going to be replaced by Teela. From left to right: Orko (voiced by Griffin Newman), Andra (voiced by Tiffany Smith), Teela (voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar), Roboto (voiced by Justin Long) and Evil-Lyn (voiced by Lena Headey) in Masters of the Universe: Revelation ![]() One image in the mix, and it showed adopted daughter of Man-At-Arms, Teela, sporting *gasp* muscles! And *double gasp* a short haircut! ![]() Promotional photos started appearing, showing He-Man, Skeletor and other beloved Masters of the Universe (MOTU) characters in all their glory! But then there was one image. Then the red flags started popping up! And by “red flags” I mean that people were saying stuff. The tweet in question is from as recent as *checks notes* eleven years ago… The infamous tweet from January, 2010. A creative whose single-minded aim is to get money by ruining all the things that we love. Crapping out some piss-poor knockoff, produced by some guy who doesn’t even know what he’s doing!” People On The InternetĪnd Kevin Smith, that bastard, is over in the corner, twirling his mustache, rubbing his hands and counting all of his sweet Netflix money.īecause we all know that’s exactly who Kevin Smith is. Taking our sweet, sweet subscription money and laughing all the way to the bank. “The suits over at Netflix are trying to pull one over on us. “I wasn’t a He-Man fan, but Gallery 1988 is running an awesome MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE art show.” Check that again: “I wasn’t a He-Man fan…” Not a He-Man fan, eh?! What a joke! They got this rube to take the reigns of the greatest television program of all time, and he doesn’t even know anything about He-Man, or Masters of the Universe! FAKE FANBOY! Kevin Smith himself, the series’ Showrunner, tweeted: The first evidence was a tweet, excavated from the depths of the internet. Let’s call this collective of nameless, tireless internet-sleuths MOTU-Anon. Bloggers and posters were coming out of the woodwork, citing their “research” and extrapolating half-thoughts they heard in chatrooms and on YouTube videos. In fact, He-Man was barely going to be in the show at all! Reports of “red flags” were popping up all over the internet. This teaser wasn’t a true representation of the program we were going to receive. However, then the rumors started swirling. One that appears to be a clean and shiny reboot/continuation of the original series that so many grew up on. Teaser Trailer for the Netflix series Masters of the Universe: RevelationĪn epic trailer, to be sure. That Smith had promised classic He-Man and even constructed a teaser trailer (below) which showed an action-packed tale full of He-Man flexing his muscles and also having nipples now (nipples were conspicuously missing from He-Man’s bulging pecs in the original series.) The first thing that I heard that was upsetting fans was that the series was a “bait and switch”. But as with any conspiracy theory, there’s a lot of things about this that don’t add up. (Bet you didn’t realize you were getting a low-key history lesson). And when I say “for men,” I clearly mean that the original series was for children, particularly heteronormative boys, which was the target audience and primary demographic of the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe when the original 130 episodes first ran between 19. Emphasis on the “He” and also the “Man.” This show is about men, for men, by men. This included talk from He-Man fanboys about all kinds of “red flags” that Kevin Smith was going to “ruin” He-Man by turning it into a “woke” show by making it *gasp* female character driven. I first heard about the nerd-rage coming out about Smith’s take on the He-Man universe after I had already seen the first five episodes of the Netflix series, for science purposes. So the following few sections are going to be dripping with irreverent sarcasm. I am upset about all the controversy fanboys have stirred up on the internet. CONTROVERSY Surrounding Masters of the Universe!įirst thing’s first: let’s address the “controversy” that has been floating around the internet for a while now.
