This looks deeply stupid.
In MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, Director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen in this epic live-action adventure. After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) back to Eternia where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Camila Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Idris Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.
It says something about the movie when the trailer does everything it can to obscure what the lead character looks like in full costume. There’s a good reason for that: He-Man was always a dumb character with an even dumber look. The idea that it can be scaled up to a 100-million-dollar franchise feature feels like a holdover from the days when every Marvel movie made a billion dollars. The Masters of the Universe was pretty much a Gen X phenomenon and we’re all too old to care about this shit now. If Millennials and Gen Z have some sort of lasting affection for these characters, it’s news to us.
