Masters of the Universe: The Wokeness of Grayskull

I used to watch He-Man as a kid. I saw a new version, and this was the info given ....

The war for Eternia begins again in what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor.

It's on Netflix, checked it out. He-Man is basically nonexistant, only in one episode them gone. The main character is now a lesbian it seems.

Why do they keep destroying things from the past?

My understanding is that it really was the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

So Sad. I loved He-Man.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

Seriously... Dolf Lungren replaced by a lesbian? The stupid is strong in this cancel culture fiasco.

He-Man

It turned out exactly as I expected.

Kevin Smith has gotten too 'woke' for anyone to expect anything different from him.

This is the best take I've seen on it so far.



Case of funny because it's true.

Even skeletor, his voice is kind of iconic. So what did they do? Got Mark Hamill to do yet another version of 'the joker'.
I swear it's the only voice Mr Luke Skywalker knows how to do.

Maybe Smith should of watched the 'Rocko's Modern Life' special/reboot. That showed you can reboot an old favourite yet remain true to the source.

Now it seems even the mini-series reboot of the 80's Transformers 'War For Cybertron' had to have a LGBT robot romance jammed into it. Show over all was fine as is, but nope, had to shove that diversity in there.
Some snowflake even said something like 'finally real world representation reflected in a kids show' or something.
Yeah right, if it reflected the real world you'd have these 'diverse' characters in something like 1 in a 10000 shows, not every single one.... Instead we keep getting over representation.

Long past tired of my perfectly fine childhood being completely trashed by the woke snowflakes. I feel really bad for the kids who now get dumbed down content in their cartoons, comics and books.

This time I am glad so many people got vocal about it. Mind you it still went over Smith and Co's heads. As expected always everyone elses fault but their own.

Tired of the race swapping, gender changing, sexuality adding changes to long established characters. I mean isn't 'cultural appropriation' wrong? lol, oh yeah rules for thee not for me.... I forgot, my bad.

Why can these people not go make their own characters and stories instead of stealing them?

Imagine if you tried to make a 'black panther' movie with a white actor playing the character. You'd get a tonne of crying from the same people who defend such things when it's a white straight character being 'swapped', who often use such excuses as 'if the actor is talented enough their race/gender/sexuality doesn't matter.'

Oh the hypocrisy of it all.

How about we just let kids be kids, and get back to having mindless entertainment be mindless entertainment instead of filling every damn thing with politics.

And don't even get me started on 'pride month' nonsense that flooded my new Google chromecast and 6 year old Sony Android TV's home screens.

We're living in a time where the needs of the very few outweigh the needs of the many it seems. Having peoples crap forced on me doesn't make me embrace it, it makes me turn it off. Hell it often has the opposite effect and makes me intolerant towards these things because it is so heavy handed.

How do these companies not realise this?

No surprise that when when you give people an inch, they will take a mile.

I don't understand the reason for doing that. I mean, if they wanna create something completely different, then start something new.

I hate any/all romance. Most of the time, in any TV show or movie, a romance or a sex scene is basically just stopping the story. I'd prefer commercials, because at least then I'd immediately know that it'll be a few more minutes before the story continues.

But a kids' show especially doesn't need any romance of any kind, straight, bi, gay, or other.

Similarly unhappy about it.

At least what I've seen so far.

And I don't mind a little "wokeness", or homoerotic sub-plots.

But jeepers they jacked up the characters.

Now I feel sad, because no amount of pumping weights, will ever make me look like that.

They already had She-Ra, if they wanted a female lead do that.

a reply to: halfoldman

And I'm just talking the female characters here.
Wow, what muscles!

And I thought we were supposed to oppose all that old-school "toxic" masculinity?
Apparently not, common ladies in 2021 - get ripped.
If you can't beat them join them.

and 'Prince Adam' who used to be as buff as he-man, got the opposite treatment and got made into a skinny pussy. Aside from making Teela turn gay, and de-bulking Adam, they kept the over all style of the other characters from the OG cartoon and toys and even the vehicles still looked like the clunky toys they were based on.

If they left the 'wokeness' out of it, it could of been a pretty damn decent reboot. but of course Smith just couldn't help himself.

a reply to: BrokenCircles

agree. if I want sex and 'romance' I'll just go watch porn or a rom-com. I mean why watch censored 'sex' when you can go watch the real deal instead?

Sometimes leaving things to the imagination does more than actually showing it.

Oddly enough from what I have seen over the years plenty of people agree and would rather a solid story with no romance or the sex in it. Especially younger people who find it awkward to be watching a popular film with their parents when a graphic sex scene will come on. It just makes everyone cringe in those situations.

Hollywood does a great job of ignoring what the audience wants.

I guess like the 'sly' video I posted. These people only care about 'critical acclaim'. As long as a few critics love their work, the much larger paying audience can get screwed.

How do these companies not realise this?

Perhaps because they are guided by an unseen hand that desires to depict that which is bad as good and that which is good as bad. Someone (or those) who doesn't (don't) care as much about profits as you might think (it being less of a priority than the conditioning attempt I just mentioned).

Isaiah 5:20,21

Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good,

Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness,

Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe to those wise in their own eyes

And discreet in their own sight!

Or 'woke' and 'progressive' ('good' and 'righteous') in their own eyes, for that matter. “The god of this system of things” has done quite the number on them. (2 Cor 4:3,4)

1 Cor. 2:12: “Now we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been kindly given us by God.”

The spirit of the world is the impelling force that influences human society, causing such people to say and do things according to a characteristic pattern. Although people act on individual preferences, those who manifest the spirit of the world give evidence of certain basic attitudes, ways of doing things, and aims in life that are common to the present system of things of which Satan is ruler and god. If the spirit of the world takes root in a person’s thinking and desires, its fruitage is soon seen in actions that manifest that spirit. Some examples:

- Doing what a person wants to do, without regard for the will of God

- Reacting to situations on the basis of pride (too many pride parades and '... pride' movements already; give it a rest)

- Manifesting a rebellious attitude toward authority (Rebellion began with Satan, whose name means “Resister.” By his defiance of God, Nimrod, whose name may mean “Let Us Rebel,” demonstrated that he was a child of Satan.)

- Giving free rein to the desires of the fallen flesh

- Allowing one’s life to be dominated by the desire to possess what one sees (which includes but is not limited to materialism, it's related to the previous one as well)

- Giving vent to one’s emotions in abusive speech and violent acts

- Basing one’s hopes and fears on what humans are able to do (A physical man considers what he can see and touch to be what really counts. His hopes and fears revolve around the promises and threats of other men. He looks to human rulers for help and is disillusioned when they fail. (Ps. 146:3, 4; Isa. 8:12, 13)
