Thank You.

If you can get past some of the more stupid/anti fan elements (both the original writer and mattel rep like to try and force characters and "edgy" rethinks) and the bad redesigns the book really does come together

I just watched the review, and the guy made some pretty good points.

The Masters of the Universe should be a trilogy. One film isn't enough. There are too many characters and almost everyone should be seen in one way or another.

Skeletor should team up with King Hiss in the sequel and in the third, She'Ra should enter the scene (and we'll get to see Hordak, the most powerful warlord among the three, the one who learned Skeletor everything).

It doesn't matter what we think it should be. Obviously, the goal is for a big franchise, but that depends on a lot. If this movie gets made, are kids and families even going to be interested in something like Masters of the Universe again?

Skeletor should team up with King Hiss in the sequel and in the third, She'Ra should enter the scene (and we'll get to see Hordak, the most powerful warlord among the three, the one who learned Skeletor everything).

Meh. Skeletor would never team up with King Hsss and vice versa.

Yeah, let's worry about making just the one awesome He-Man movie. Once that's done we can start thinking about franchise possibilities.

And I don't think a trilogy of films is the way to go. Trilogies are falling out of favor; studios would much rather have a franchise like the X-Men movies or Fast & Furious where they can keep adding bigger and bigger sequels each time. Look at how WB was scrambling to figure out what to do with Batman once Nolan completed his trilogy.

But that's what they did in King Hiss's original appearance. In the mini-comics it wasn't an odd thing to happen.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Finally rewatching this since I haven't seen it since I was like a kid. So much of this movie would be cgi nowadays it is kind of sad.

Chris Hemsworth would make a great He-Man, they really need to bring back this franchise.

To me that's an element you wouldn't keep from the mini-comics which weren't the be-all end all. Such as, Scare Glow warning that "Skull-face" that he should speak before he would "scare you to death!" The Snake-Men were basically racists and xenophobic and wouldn't work with the Evil Warriors.

That's something that I think the 2002 series did very well, and should be emulated in the movie. Personally, I think that Skeletor should offer to join forces with King Hiss and the Snake Men. King Hiss's responds by attacking Skeletor and his Evil Warriors, soundly thrashing them. Then King Hiss and his army of Snake Men march on the Royal Palace, and soundly defeat He-Man and the Masters. Even Zodak can't stop them. So He-Man and Skeletor, reluctantly, agree to have the Masters and the Evil Warriors join forces to defeat King Hiss and his minions.

That, I think, would make for an awesome sequel.

I totally agree with this philosophy. Think "Marvel Cinematic Universe" or "Transformers" rather than "Dark Knight Trilogy". So much more potential that way.

 

[Lord]

The MCU and Transformers started with the intent of starting a franchise from the get-go, which is why both of them had post-credits scenes that lead into more to come.

But Skeletor brings Snake Men back from limbo. He really does it and it's because he thinks he would have a better chance of taking over Castle Greyskull. Unfortunately for him, King Hiss has another agenda.

Pretty much what I expect the sequel to be.
But shouldn't Zodak be the one who takes down Hiss? Only him then, not all of his snake warriors.

I think it should be He-Man who defeats King Hiss, but Zodak should be involved somehow. Like maybe keeping the Snake Men warriors out of the fight so that it stays one on one between He-Man and King Hiss.

Has anyone read this? I doubt it's He-Man he's playing, but I don't know... http://sciencefiction.com/2015/11/11/bodybuilder-mike-ohearns-instagram-post-mean-playing-man/

Yeah, I could see him playing He-Man. After all . . . .

Look how well this turned out.

Clearly, some sicko has been photoshopping his head onto my body. I'm outraged!

[Paradox1]

If he can't act I don't want him as He-Man, looks are almost secondary to putting on a good performance.

 

[I Am The Knight]

This isn't exactly Shakespeare...

 

[Pink Ranger]

One of the criteria by which I judge literary merit is the presence of green tigers. The works of William Shakespeare are sadly deficient in that regard.

 

[MAN O STEEL]

Who's tall, broad shouldered, blonde and can pack on muscle while at the same time used to taking on movie versions of popular shows/cartoons that never take off?........

ARMIE HAMMER FOR HE MAN

Still deserves better than Mr. O'Hearn.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Mike O'Hearn for DTV-Man.

Don't forget that Zodak has a vendetta against Snake Men because they tried to conquer Eternia back in ancient times
