I'm in so hard on this.

Hell yes!

This looks awesome!

Jason Mewes - Stinkor (ha!)

Why do I get the feeling that Smith asked Mewes who he wanted to be and Mewes demanded this role?

That.....sounds about right. That should work.

Ready for some Battle Cat action.

It's a series released in two parts. According to Smith, the first episode starts off like classic He-Man, then has some huge event that sets the tone for the rest of the first half of the series.

"Everything I've ever worked on in like 27 years, this is easily in the top five of my favorite, most satisfying projects," says Smith, a He-Man superfan who showruns Revelation and executive produces with Mattel Television's Frederic Soulie, Adam Bonnett, Christopher Keenan, and Rob David. "When I die, they'll be like, 'He made Clerks, remember?' 'Cause that's the most memorable thing I think I've ever done. I think this has a running shot at being like, 'He made Clerks and that one cartoon that one time.'"

"We get to see them engage not just in clashing swords, but in far deeper conversations than we've ever seen them before," he explains. "It's not just simply like these two dudes [He-Man and Skeletor] have been trying to beat each other up for decades. We get to tell stories of abuse. We get to kind of tell stories of isolation, grief. We use these characters as long as they've been around and most people consider them toys or action figures to tell insanely human stories set in a very inhuman world."

Smith remembers speaking with Netflix's director of original series Ted Biaselli, who also came with a childhood love of this sword-and-sorcery saga and sat in on the writers room tossing out ideas.

"He said, 'Do me a favor. When I used to watch the shows as a kid, I legitimately thought that He-Man was always on the verge of getting killed by Skeletor. I believed in the stakes. Just make me believe that again,'" he says. "People would see some of this as goofy IP, but this is a rich tapestry, a world full of characters. [Biaselli] said, 'Please just don't talk down to it. Don't make fun of it. Don't wink. Just treat it like Shakespeare.' Those were our marching orders."

Thanks.

For some reason, I recall the day I first got He-Man. I was at Skaggs with my mom and I about lost my mind when I saw these toys. She let me get He-Man and I thought that was a big deal because I don't think they were comparatively cheap back then. The original action figures (at least with He-Man) came with mini-comic books that gave the backstory. From what I recall, it was a bit darker and less cartoony than the later show that had the stupid ass magician character. Dorko? Or something like that.

I also remember the day I got Beast Man. I was at the doctor having to get a shot in my ass and as the doctor was about to give me the shot my mom whipped out Beast Man still in the package from behind her back to distract me. It worked!

Surprised Stratos is not in this.

the talk is that Teela is the primary character in this. and based on the trailers, that seems to be proven.

But of course.

When does this air?
