I don’t know if it was the actual intent of the character but it’s funny how I thought the idea of Plinkett was that you literally had to be a psychopath to care so much about Star Wars/Trek as to make an hour long dissection of a movie, and now that’s just culture.

‘Season 3 of Phineas and Ferb BROKE Me’ (2:09:17)
Mike really loves Star Wars, but he's self aware enough to know it's kind of embarrassing that he cares so much about it. So he poked fun at himself that with the fictional narrator of his videos.

I'm fine with that. Anyone making terrible videos about Phineas and Ferb should dilate.
 
So, unpopular opinion, but I think Jared Leto is overhated. The only bad thing about him is that he's a method actor weirdo, but so was Marlon Brando--and that guy was more SJW. His Joker is hated mostly from bad design and writing choices, which reflects more on the producers and Snyder for approving those dailies. He wasn't great in BR 2049 and Tron: Ares, but those movies were pretty boring in general, so it's not like his performances stood out as particularly bad. He doesn't behave like a Rachel Zegler or a Milly Alcock, whom actually deserve the hate because they are sabotaging their own productions.

I regard him with indifference.

A lot of his hate is centered around how he has a literal cult of personality around him where his sycophants pay a lot of money to hang out with him on a private island where he dresses like Jesus.

And Roman Polanski is a literal child rapist. He's also a good director.

Leto has a very, very narrow range as an actor, but he isn't a bad one. He's a former model who is pretty good in certain roles. He's also a nutjob, clearly.
 
I knew the "manbaby" comment would upset certain people.

He-Man is not equivalent to what Star Wars used to mean culturally. It just isn't. It was trash for undiscerning kids at the time it was made. Nobody has to tolerate pop culture vandalism or bad movies, but saying hypothetical things like, "He-Man the movie didn't respect the lore," should embarrass anyone who says it.

One of the Midnight's Edge hacks went on a retarded, performative spergout on a recent steam about how awful and woke and shitty and disrespectful the movie was. That guy should kill himself. But he won't. He'll just keep making low-effort garbage streams to try and monetize the cUlTuRe WaRz.

The real ones knew even in 1984 that He-Man was just Thundarr for babies.
 
if you piss off a bunch of man-babies you are going to tank your franchise
Not going to lie this was a baffling thing to have in the video. RLM went pretty hard on TLJ and the sequel trilogy in general and their audience probably contains a large number of those man-babies.

Ever since the our revenue is dropping video I have noticed they are really blanding out. Jay in particular often seems like he would prefer to be anywhere else.
They are massive hypocrites now that they have Hollywood friends.

The really real ones had the original storybook that came with the first MOTU figure wave and were pissed that the Robert Howard-inspired world from that had been replaced by retarded Filmation garbage and the whole stupid Prince Adam crap.

See, I've never heard that or seen a cult of personality. Every time I hear about him, it's that he sucks for some undefined reason.

Yes, that too. And here I thought I was the only small boy who stopped wanting He-Man toys after the show debuted. Fuck Orko.

Did Thundarr have the most bitchin' toyline ever though?

There were no toys being manufactured after Man's civilization was cast in ruin, you poor fool.

I was pissed when I read the DC Comics Showcase Superman/MOTU crossover, as it was the first incidence of the cartoon world being shown. I wanted the dark, Conanesque world and serious characters, not kiddie bullshit.

The fact that the cartoon and comics never dared explain Skeletor's origin said it all. In the original storybook, he was an arrogant wizard who tried to enslave dark powers, so they took his face away as punishment of his hubris.

It's wild.

The good old separate the art from the artist issue. I used to try to do this. These days not so much. And it was not my decision. "Artists" using their art as a platform or opportunity to publicly do repellent shit has become much more common. They establish the connection deliberately and then whine when the art is adversely affected.

Polanski's conduct in his personal life was at the extreme level of reprehensibility. It didn't however affect films like Chinatown or Repulsion. He didn't use his films, or press surrounding them, to push his odious conduct. Same with the likes of Gary Glitter. Candidate for the woodchipper but it was never pushed into his art. Nowhere in Rock n Roll Part 2 does he tell listeners to allow incompetent repairmen to have access to personal files.

Leto sits in the middle ground. He doesn't insert his lunacy into his films but there's at least some connection. Was it Suicide Squad where stories emerged about his behaviour including sending used johnnies to others in the cast?

And at the extreme end you have what seems to be so much of the "modern artistic community". The using my art as my platform mob. Ezra Miller. Ellen Page, Pedro Pascal, Mark Ruffalo, Alex Kurtzman &c &c. Funny thing is, no matter how often it happens, it never rarely (to give Brie Larson some credit) seems to dawn on them that potential audiences are repelled by them because what they espouse is repulsive.

I'd love to separate the art from the artist. Shame the artists won't let me.

It is kind of ironic considering that it has long been rumored that He-Man got its roots as a potential toy line for Conan the Barbarian and possibly even the first Schwarzenegger film. I wonder if they changed his hair to blonde specifically in an attempt to copy Thundarr.
 
He-Man always reminded me more of Heavy Metal for kids than Conan.
You mean Den by Richard Corbin, which did appear in Heavy Metal now and then, but the Conan novels had a lot more mystical elements than the movies did, and in fact there was even some crossover with the Cthulu Mythos in some of Howard's novels, as he was a friend and contemporary of H.P. Lovecraft.

Conan wasn't as grounded as people who are most familiar with the movies think.

Den was actually Corbin's pastiche of Howard's Conan mixed with A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, having a modern-day man sent to Neverwhere and becoming a barbarian hero.

The new MotU is 140 minutes. How long is the Earth segment about Adam working an office job? Couldn't they just set it all in Eternia?

Did RLM mention The New Adventures of He-Man? I used to watch the show and I had some of the toys.

I know someone who went to university with him and apparently he was widely regarded as an annoying pretentious faggot. This was at the Philadelphia University of the Arts, famously full of annoying pretentious faggots. A lot of the current day hate comes from the rapey/culty stuff, but the real downfall started with a series of incredibly embarrassing roles.

Are there cheesy and campy aspects to He-Man? Duh. However, the show made a lot of kids happy back in the day, captured their imaginations, and the show did in fact teach some good moral lessons to them too.

He-man might be the first example of a woke rebranding the killed a popular IP. Mattel demanded they add She-Ra to appeal to girls, thinking they would capture both the boys' and girls' market. She-Ra dolls lost them millions. The money that would have gone into a third season of 60 episodes of He-Man was instead used for the She-Ra cartoon, which didn't appeal to boys while trying to attract girl viewers. Netflix's She-Ra series concluded, resulting in significant losses for Mattel. Additionally, Netflix chose to discontinue the She-Ra project as a tax write-off. Before She-Ra was added to the lore. My little pony adding a male cast member to appeal to boys in its last reboot had similar results. He-man was big as teenage mutant ninja turtles and Power Rangers culturally at one time.

Man, just think how bad you have to be for the artfags to think you're too much of an artfag for them.
