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?

It's 90s but waiting for the live action.

Spoiler

TBH I can't remember if I ever saw the cartoon itself, I just fucking loved the toys.

Everyone here is calling out my childhood and I'm not sure how comfortable I am with it.

Even Less of Not a Bunny had the damn Crystal Castle, and still wants to believe that Thundercats (and Silverhawks!) was pretty rad.

Man, they really are grasping at straws.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He-Man#Queer_interpretations_and_gay_icon_status

David Chlopecki argues that Prince Adam's appearance, such as his pink spandex clothing, conforms to gay stereotypes,while NPR said the character's appearance adds to the show's gay subtext because He-Man's outfit resembles those of leather subculture, and including a bondage harness, which in the 1980s was considered to be homoerotic imagery. Attention has also been paid to Adam's transformation into He-Man through what one of his origin stories describes as his "fabulous powers" and his sword, which Comic Book Resources's Anthony Gramuglia described as "phallic".

The character's double life has also been noted as queer subtext. According to Battis, Adam's need to "hide his true identity as [He-Man]" is one of the show's key queer aspects. British newspaper The Daily Telegraph noted fan interpretations that the character's dual identity represents a man's struggle to accept his sexuality; Prince Adam is closeted while He-Man is "out-and-proud". Writing for The Johns Hopkins News-Letter, Matt Johnson described the series' depiction of He-Man as a "thinly veiled treatise on the state of gay male sexuality in the eighties".

Adam B. Vary said the original cartoon series contains gay subtext, which the 1987 live-action movie Masters of the Universe almost turns into explicit text, portraying a "tragic unrequited romance between He-Man and Skeletor", singling out Skeletor's "warped obsession" with He-Man and He-Man never showing an interest in women. The homoeroticism of He-Man's relationship with Man-at-Arms was highlighted in a re-cut trailer uploaded to YouTube titled "Brokeback Snake Mountain".

The perceived homoerotic subtexts in He-Man resulted in the character and show drawing a gay audience when the cartoon first aired, and as a result, the character is now viewed as a gay icon. Men's Health reported gay men were one of the three core groups that were collectors of He-Man toys at conventions, alongside body builders and law-enforcement. ND Stevenson, the creator, showrunner, and executive producer of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, has also stated that He-Man—alongside She-Ra—is a gay icon, and the character's LGBT fanbase has been credited as helping provide support for the inclusion of openly gay characters in the reboot.

This is just another example of homosexuals desperately trying to find subtext that panders to them specifically. In this case it's a cartoon for 10-year olds made to sell toys. I guess everything looks gay to you if you look like this:

Dave Chlopecki, the first person mentioned in the Wiki quote above.

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.

You don't say, @Gay Sex Enjoyer ?

And yeah, almost no one gives a fuck about He-Man, but the few Gen X oldfags who do are *really* loud and proud about it.

I don't know, maybe I was just born slightly too late or something, but He-Man seemed like the lamest shit when I was a kid and then when I was a teenager I realized it was the gayest shit. I get there were only like a handful of channels and things to watch until the 90's but god damn I'd rather read Conan the Barbarian short stories than watch a gay knock off cartoon.

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.

It's the complete opposite trajectory of the cartoon based movies from the early 2000s. He-man got the 1-2 punch of the She-ra reboot and the Kevin Smith reboot, two shows which alienated original fans and failed to make a new generation of genuine fans.

Compare that to the Scooby Doo or the Transformers movie. The former had been experiencing a resurgence in popularity thanks to the success of the direct to video movies like Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost (which for SD standards were edgy) that led to new TV show and the live action movie. The latter had Japanese made Transformers TV shows which had such positive reception that it caused the momentum needed for the live action movies to be such a hit.

Not just that but the movies had much more respect for the source material. There were no jokes about how stupid it is that aliens transformed into cars. The Scooby Doo movie was actually way more cynical with more jabs at the source material (as evidenced in the original script) but the producers literally told the filmmakers to tone that shit down.

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

Apparently that's getting a blu-ray release in the states so watch out for that.

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.

He also starred in the Morbius movie, which we all know broke box office records when it made over a Morbillion dollars.

I prefer this remix of the theme:

Give me some fuckin' Inhumanoids, baby. That shit was deranged for a kids' cartoon.

1986, put me right off my chocolate milk and peanut butter'd Ritz crackers, man.

 

[Phalanges Mycologist]

As an adult, I can go back and watch the 80s cartoon and think, "Yeah, a lot of this is cheesy and definitely made in a simpler time, but heck it's practically Shakespeare compared to what's made for children now."

Yea watching kid's TV now you can really see a difference, it's been 3 or so years since it was on in my house but a Russian kids show caled Masha and the Bear was my nieces go to as a toddler, it was different from the other shows available as it treated kids as kids not as idiots and the show was interesting and didn't have two daddies one who had zipper tits like another show etc, it was just wholesome stories about a little girl who lived in the woods with a bear and the closest it got to weird was a episode where a Frog fell in love with Bear who was at the time in a green scuba suit.

Leto has a very, very narrow range as an actor,

You need a micrometer to measure it's width.

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.

He's a weird guy when not infront of the camera, he's a bit like Tom Cruise without the charm and his ego made him start a religion not just be the second coming of one.

The good old separate the art from the artist issue. I used to try to do this. These days not so much.

I'm at this point as well, I've never been one to look up celebrities or authors I like apart from bits an bobs coming up that you can't avoid reading interviews about a upcoming book etc but honestly these days I am far more discerning because I refuse to give money to some people who support certain things. One of my favourite Authors is noticeably exhausted in having to do the minimal PR / Press stuff he has to do, his Amazon Authors page reflects this (Peter Watts if your interested).

Nowhere in Rock n Roll Part 2 does he tell listeners to allow incompetent repairmen to have access to personal files.

Glitter brought his computer in because it wasn't opening certain media files he tried to spin it as "Why was he looking at my personal documents anyway" as an excuse, the problem was with word documents but other file associations got fucked an the tech was trying to do a famous (arguably even then) guy a favour and opened up one picture and saw child abuse an reported it.

The best part was always how the openings to the shows were so long and were much better-animated than the actual shows.

I've read that this was supposedly because they where using the animation intros as a marketing tool, apparently the Korean studios of the era where capable of doing far more detailed animation and did so for the intro / theam to try an get the commissioning company to spring for more animation but they never did and it's how the low effort art styles became popular later because the execs at the time never though animation would become a popular adult medium, The Simpsons was considered a prime time exception as it was a family show to appeal to families with young kids but more advanced stories for everyone else - then Southpark and a few others came along proving there was a market for it but by that point lower effort lower skill level animation and for the executives they where used to paying only so much for animated works by that point an where refusing to pay more and was prity much what was stylistically popular that creators knew so we've been stuck with that ever since.

At least Æon Flux had it's raping done 20 years ago...

I never got into the original show it was just never available on MTVuk when I was of a age to get into it, I saw the film before I knew what it was supposed to be an liked it but now as an adult I will say if you view the film as a different property all together it does stand on it's own nust not a Aeon Flux film, it's a bit like the Resident Evil films if you view them as there own thing an not part of the games they are decently done horror action films.

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've always liked him because he's never taken himself too seriously, he always seems to know that what he is doing for the money he is getting paid is absurd and it can end in moments an he will just enjoy it while it lasts. Dont get me wrong he's got a ego an wild spending habbits but he's never been like most people he's been cast next to saying something like "We actors are the modern day heros an artist who must stand up against the injustices of the world now on the count of three... 1,2,3 Imagine...." but he's never taken himself seriously and just wants to have fun doing it.

Looks like Rich dropped camera no.3 and they had to substitute it with a phone again. They definitely had the same problem in one of the quiz episodes.

I really liked this one. I feel like it's been a while since we've had a Re:View, and it's one of my favorite RLM formats.

I like the fact that Cousin Eddie's kid has slain Kevin McCallister and claimed the crown of RLM's favorite celebrity. He brings a fun energy to the channel.

But most of all, I really knew nothing about the movie Wet Hot American Summer. A lot of people had recommended it to me, but I never learned much about it. Often those types of movies (or, more accurately, the type of movie that I thought it was -- I thought that it was just another "boner comedy". ) hold a special place in peoples' hearts, but that has more to do with the viewer's nostalgia for their past and younger self than the film itself, and as a result, they don't often hold up when watched by someone with fresh eyes. I didn't even realize that it came out in 2001 -- I always thought it was from the '80s like its setting. I certainly didn't expect the absurdist and genre-parodying parts that the guys referenced. This video made me want to watch the movie, which often happens with a Re:View.

Quaid fucking DOVE for that virtue signal at the start when the gay couple came up in discussion. Genuine moment of panic of, “Oh shit, did I forget a scene? Am I going to be cancelled?!”
