In theory the appeal is to sell more toys. In practice nobody wants Wokebusters toys. Or Rey figures. Probably nobody will want nu He-Man figures eitherGuest wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 11:50 pmI'm not seventy years old so I don't know what the appeal of remakes of 80's toy commercials is.

Re: "Cartoons"
It's a cultural icon from the 80s, therefore soyboys at least pretend to like it, even if they've only ever seen it in YT poop form.Guest wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 11:50 pmI'm not seventy years old so I don't know what the appeal of remakes of 80's toy commercials is.
Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

Re: "Cartoons"
Netflix has a lot of nostalgia content. Documentaries about old toys and video games. I watch those. It makes sense that they would try to revive some of that old shit. That said, I have zero interest in watching that.
I like that one of the controversies over the new show is whether or not Kevin Smith is a He-Man fan. I think he's hinted that he is, but also said that he isn't. I believe the latter because he was born in 1970. He would have hit puberty when He-Man was at peak popularity and that's too old. He-Man is for pre-adolescents. Ages 7 to 10, I'd say.

Yeah but He-Man did originate with toys and comics in '81. Smith would have been about the right age, and he's basically a consoomer. He's like MovieBlob except considerably more successful and considerably less sociopathic.

Re: "Cartoons"
Smith is on video saying He-Man sucks years ago. Agree that he was too old to have been into it as a kid. Now he pretends like he was a life-long fan. I can see why people are bothered by that in addition to the woke bait-and-switch he tried to pull.
They're trying to bring back the toys now. I don't think they're selling. Tons of He-Mans and Skeletors on the racks and nothing else. And this new show won't even match the look of the toys anyways.

Re: "Cartoons"
The New for 20 figures are pretty accurate to the OG ones.

He was moderately successful decades ago, when he made Clerks.Guest wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:12 pmHe's like MovieBlob except considerably more successful and considerably less sociopathic.
It has been all downhill since then, and now he's just a washed up, miserable clown who thinks that the sentence "Batman wears a mask" is a factual, witty comeback.
The show would have been for adolescents too, if it was violent.Lindsay's Liver wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:00 pmHe-Man is for pre-adolescents. Ages 7 to 10, I'd say.
If it was a mix of Conan the barbarian and Star Wars, instead of being Looney Tunes and Village People.
Same thing with 80's TMNT.
When i was 7 years old Fist of the North Star was on tv, so i didn't care about those 2.
The reboot is going to be exactly like The Last of Troons 2:
The grimdark tale of an angry lesbian.
Apparently Smith is such a retard that he couldn't keep his mouth shut in a recent interview, and spoiled that Orko is going to die, so i'm sure of it.

Re: "Cartoons"
Made hilarious for all the wrong reason because Batman's mask is missing the exact trait of a mask he was trying to defend here.
His intended target audience is just gonna buy the inevitable FunkoBlob line, anyways.Liar Revealed wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 7:25 pmThey're trying to bring back the toys now.

Re: "Cartoons"
Like the last time, even if he wore Bane's gear, the mask argument can't work.
