It's pretty amazing that He-Man, by far the most fag coded cartoon of the 80's, failed in 2026.

He-Man gave American animators jobs at a time when every other company just shipped the labor out to the orient to save a few bucks, it will always be a solid and immensely enjoyable part of cartoon history.

Sure it's corny and had to cut a lot of corners so that they could keep their US-based workers employed, but it has a lot of heart.

But let's be real here, no one gives a fuck about He-Man anymore. Of course it failed. You can make shows based on basically-dead franchises but if you want to get a blockbuster out of it it needs to have a thriving fanbase and sadly a lot of He-Man fans are more more wistful than active.

There aren't He-Man conventions or massive He-Man fan meetups. The best you can hope for is a semi-decent reboot on a streaming service, and even that can be completely fucked up by a retarded director and writing.

Shit the og Masters of the Universe movie flopped back when He-Man was still as big as the Ninja Turtles, what hope did a movie have now when the most notable recent He-Man related projects were two versions of The Adventures of Butch Lesbian Teela in both Tumblr and Kevin Smith flavors?

(Though the reboot from the early 2000s was really good if you're looking for more He-Man content)

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.

I think people are more upset with what his Joker inspired. In that movie Joker's supposed to this pathetic Holden Caufield type who hates the world because its shit on him, and his response to this is uncontrolled violence. His famous quote "What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash" should genuinely have been taken as the ramblings of a loser who refuses to advance himself. But people take this as something to aspire to instead.

Nah. Cage is a legitimately great actor. He always swings for the fences, and sometimes he strikes out, but nobody has a perfect batting average.

I agree he's never phoned in a performance which is why even in the shittiest movie he's the best part.

"What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash"

You're mixing up Leto with Walking Phoenix. Leto is the DAMAGED joker. Caulfield wasn't a schizo either, he was a pretentious fag teen.
Leto:


Edit:

I never noticed this before. Now the scene where he asks the browns to fuck Harley makes more sense. Maybe he got the DAMAGED tattoo to distract from his ace of spades tattoo.

he-man is one of the few plastic doodad toy brands that my mom ever had any sort of positive opinion of but that wasn't passed on to me. i mean she showed me the shitty movie along with flash gordon so i fully understood it, i just didn't care, the world had moved on past it. some aspects of he-man like skeletor and THE POOOOOOWERRRRRRR are permanently etched into americana but they're basically divorced from the world itself. It did good for what it was

watching the trailer it makes sense and it's very fitting for hollywood but they should have made this movie like 10 years ago man. The world has moved on

 

[Mola Ram]

The world has moved on

The man in black fled across the desert and Rich Evans followed, until he tripped over a rock and fucked up his back again.

From my understanding He-Man was on the way out in terms of popularity by the time the original movie happened, which is why the filming budget was apparently fifty bucks and some ham sandwiches.

As for why Leto is hated, the man tries WAAAAY too hard with everything he does, especially his Jonkler. No one wants to see Joker channeling his inner EdgeLord in a big screen summer blockbuster, especially when they make him so physically unappealing, what with the tattoos and the ugly ‘grill and such…

Man the body blade section went on too long. Some of it was funny, but I could see how using inertia it could provide resistance to movement and therefore useful for some exercises. Given those lazy fucks have never seen the inside of a gym its a bit hypocritical of them to laugh at people trying to better themselves.

I mean its probably a scam but that device is only funny to a point.

Although the prank call was hilarious

I've used the Body Blade prank call segment to introduce RLM to new folks. I think it's the perfect distillation of self aware goofball humor and attachment to sentimentality that summates the whole shebang. It was right up there with the melting down of all the Star Wars figurines into the cube. Also Josh Robert Thompson is an underappreciated treasure. His interview with Craig Ferguson is great. S tier talent in Hollywood doesn't always receive the recognition it deserves. He's a shining star in that hollow

 

[TheMonkeyMan]

I have to do physical therapy after an injury I suffered earlier this year and they have a Body Blade there.

He’s just not that good in anything he’s in, in his best performances he’s at best competent. You could replace him with Eric Roberts and most of the movies would improve.

How would red letter media crew react to 2026 being the big superhero decline year? Even without referencing Star Wars and He-Man losing to Backrooms and the Amazing Digital Circus, it has been a challenging year for superhero movies. Currently, the highest-performing films of 2026 are the Super Mario Galaxy movie and Michael. Despite receiving unfavorable reviews from critics, both films have achieved significant commercial success. They primarily focus on appealing to a broad audience without undermining the source material. Newer superhero films are embarrassed of being Capeshit. He-man is fantasy Capeshit.

Speaking of 80s cartoons that nobody cares about anymore: anyone remember M.A.S.K.? Those toys were so fucking cool! I had a dude with a helmet, another dude with a different helmet, and a flying helicopter bike thing!

It doesn't get any more 80s than THIS!

I prefer this remix of the theme:

How long will it take Hollywood to get desperate enough to start remaking one season cartoons from the 80s? Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors movie when?

They already did that in 2023 when The Marvels (Captain Marvel 2) bombed, also mentioned in their Black Widow review, Marvel/superhero fatigue has been in effect for years now.

EDIT: they talk about super hero movies flopping in 2023 here:

If its good it will atract new people it doesnt need a pre-existing fan base.

I completely forgot that Jared Leto Joker is canonically a cuck
