Now, I have made no secret I am a defender of the Film industry. They are there to draw in the crowds and to make money by any means nessesary as alot of buisnesses are. I've dissed films in the past, but I know that all they want to do is make money. Before this came up, I was very happy with seeing things like Transformers, He Man (ignoring the other one) etc come to the big screen unless, and this is a huge unless, they stick somewhat with the source material. And from what I have seen, some things like The Simpsons movie, the Spiderman films etc have done that. Until now.... What I am about to show you is something I cannot defend at all and won't even TRY to defend. This is something so horrible and so terrifying to think about that I'm not sure if I should show you guys. But I will, and I will regret it... You sure you want to see it? Really? You can turn back right now and I won't make fun out of you for it. Well....ok, then.

Dude, the Panda from Shirt Tales alone would ruin the entire teams mojo... rendering them useless. Now maybe if instead of the Shirt Tales, you had Monchhichis, we'd be getting somewhere. Paving the way for Rubik the Amazing Cube to arrive and kick everyone's asses. If Rubik can get a movie, then Captain N or the Power Team needs to get one as well.

The archer guy from Dungeons and Dragons had lightning arrows. If he was invited to the fracas, he'd take everyone out.

Didn't Kirby do some of Thudarr's characters? If so then yeah I spose Ookla the Mok would be able to take lightning archer guy down.

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, just sitting by the phone waiting, but no one ever calls. It's so sad.

I love He-man to death, but Jack King Kirby is greater.

In all seriousness though, if Metlar, Tendrill, and D'compose bring the rest of the Inhumanoids along, stuff's gettin' wrecked.

I think they've remade every single loved tv show from my childhood.
Besides Ghostbusters and anime
My faves were X Men, Spiderman, Ninja turtles, Ghostbusters and Power Rangers

I'd mark out SOOOOOOOO hard

I'll be interested to see the He-Man film just because the Dolph Lundgren one was entertainingly bad.
Who was that little snarf/elf/musician guy? Why did he have a key that worked by music alone and then was surprised when some kid could remember the really obvious musical notes to get it to work?
Where were Skeletor's decent henchmen? Tri-clops, Trapjaw, Two-Face (the guy with two swords was cool though) etc ... Why did Beastman have no beasts to command?
Where were He-Man's allies? C'mon you know you want to see He-Man call for help from Fisto or Ram-Man (You have now reached the John Cena level of jokes please collect your chain gang chain from the foyer)
Why was Orko, Battlecat or Prince Adam not involved?
Why was Skeletor not blue and why was his head not a skull?
All of these things need to be fixed for me to enjoy a new he-man movie.
If tongue is firmly in cheek then it could be awesome, I don't want a serious He-Man film. In fact the best way of doing He-Man would be to do it in a similar style to Flash gordon.

The elf guy was Gwildor, played by Billy Barty. As far as the rest of it, my understanding is the director or screenwriter, whichever, absolutely loathed doing the film and hated the concept from the beginning. Thus he chucked most of the backstory and stuff.

And get rid of that gay hairstyle he has in the cartoon And Cannon was the fault of it's problems, they had little to no budget at all

I loved the Chipmunks as a kid.... I'm not sure why you guys all vehemently hate them so much. I doubt I will see this movie, but I can think of about a thousand movies I would rather see less.

Thus he chucked most of the backstory and stuff. Plus, it was an Orion picture, who was near bankruptcy as it was... He-Man was seen as a huge profit making license, so they threw a movie together on as small of a budget as they could. www.he-man.org has a lot of info on it, as a lot was planned for it, but based on the budget, there was no way to make an Eternia for live-action purposes. As for the new guys, I read that was because Mattel wanted new figures. You have to remember, He-Man was one of the first cartoons created solely to sell a toyline. It wasn't about ratings, it was about the toys.

It has to fly about like a shampoo commerical when he gains the power of grayskull or I will be unhappy. I also want the snakemen in the movie, but that might be asking too much.
