The He-Man Movie is Just Going For It, Baby!

I watched He-Man and the Masters of the Universe back in the day and had several of the toys. I was an ’80s kid. I barely remember the first movie attempt, also in the 80s. And I’ve enjoyed all of the various reboots I’ve seen over the years (haven’t seen them all). And now Hollywood is trying again with a Masters of the Universe movie. We haven’t seen too much of the film so far…so brace yourselves for this first trailer.

Hooboy, they’re just going for it. Like, they’re slowing down a little bit by having Prince Adam start on Earth, but when they show all the Eternia stuff, it’s just…damn. They’re not holding back! We’ve got Cringer for real. We’ve got Skeletor looking more Skeletor than he’s possibly ever looked! Idris Elba is Man-At-Arms! Fisto is in this!

The age of black leather costumes is past. Now is the age of embracing the insanity and letting it all hang out! And I am here for it! Hopefully we get Ram Man.

Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution Looks Badass!

For reasons that I think are dumb, a lot of the internet turned against the Kevin Smith He-Man revival on Netflix a year or two ago. But that show kicked ass, and I’m excited to see it come back for a second season! Masters of the Universe: Revolution looks freakin’ awesome in this new trailer!

I loved the first season, and this new season looks even cooler somehow! Action, bitchin’ 80s tunes, and a lot of intrigue and dramatic character growth! I have nothing but high hopes and unshakeable faith in this new season and I can’t wait to watch!

Also, exciting for me, my favorite Masters of the Universe character makes a quick cameo in that trailer! It’s Snout Spout! You can see him at 1:25 in the trailer. Why is Snout Spout my favorite? Because he’s the one random He-Man action figure I had as a kid! I had others, like He-Man and Ram-Man, but Snout Spout was the one weird, random character in my collection. So he’s my favorite! And he’s gonna make an appearance this season! I’m very excited.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution comes to Netflix on Jan. 25.

(P.S. While searching for the date in the trailer, I paused on a screen that shows Gwildor, the Orko stand-in from the live action movie. Holy heck. That is madness. My hopes for this show just rose tenfold!)
