That seems to be a consistent thread
I think Jenna Ortega would have been a better fit for that role
I thought Brie was pretty bad in it but it was reduced to a nothing role.

I saw it. I was expecting an "adult" version and storyline for He-Man. That wasnt happening. It was very true to the cartoon. The cheesy humor and all the unique sidekicks from the cartoon are in the movie, just like the 80's cartoon versions. That was great. It was just hard to hold my attention as a 40-something year old adult. This movie is geared towards kids. Which is great. I didn't understand why Orko only had a 10 second cameo though. He was pretty big in the cartoon.

Cause Orko would have been an additional expense to CGI and he sucks.
The scene at the end where they are all leaning back and laughing was great; exactly how every episode ended.

my wife was asking why it was this cheesy and i said "did you ever watch a single episode ever?"
i'd give it a C+/B-.
fun popcorn movie, but the third act was too long and drawn out. enjoyable member berries everywhere.

I came across a post with Amazon's Spider-Noir budget which is supposedly $400 million for the 8 episodes and $50mm per episode.
$400mm for that just to stream is insane. Do we think these investments into these properties is to build out their streaming platform? Seeing that kind of gives me hope for a sequel.

Holy smokes this thing bombed. 29.3 million in North America and 54.9 million worldwide. Break even point is 400-500 million. I knew it would bomb but didn't think it would be worse than The Mandolorian and Grogu.
Meanwhile for some reason people flocked to see Scary Movie.

Somewhat infuriating to be honest. I don't understand why younger people aren't seemingly interested in the fantasy genre right now.
I still have hope for more just because of what I said above about Spider-Noir, and the MotU brand in particular has always been about the merchandise and toys.

They got the Amazon truck in for some product placement so it was all worth it.

Its a Toy Company IP, so it would make sense to market to a new generation of children.

Deadline reports kids under 12 made up just 4% of the opening-night crowd. The audience skewed heavily older, with 57% over 35 and 36% over 45.
If you want to sell toys to kids, you need to get them to watch it first. Those demos are for opening night. The estimate I’ve seen for opening weekend is 5% under 12.

Since it’s Amazon/MGM, I’d say it’s got a good shot. They need some franchises
Streaming and merch are factors that can help. Judging purely box office is probably no longer the way to go with many of these
I will say the marketing was weird for this. The movie clearly was done with a more cartoonish tone for kids but they didn’t really do in tie ins, push toys, etc to draw kids in. It was like they were purely relying on nostalgic parents to bring their kids vs. kid begging their parents to do
Mine were hooked after and I ordered some toys for them through Amazon, so I did my part to get a sequel

Some of those license deals with McDonalds or BK could've gone a long way.
As for doing our part, there is a $2,000 Skeletor and Panthor statue on sideshow collectibles I want badly
the missus might have a word though.Posted on 6/9/26 at 9:06 am to Proximo
wondering if they knew even investing heavily in marketing would have still brought back minimal ROI in this climate, so they cut costs there. The box office is just additional revenue but the true value is a franchise for the streaming service.
to your point, Noir costs a shite ton of money to make and no one seems to be batting an eye, had they strictly done a Prime release for MOTU, this is probably looked at as a huge success for them and not a financial flop

Like someone else said, it might end up being a bit of a cult movie like John Carter is with many. But it's certainly not getting another movie. It would probably go down as the biggest financial flop of the year if Desert Warrior didn't exist. Which turns out, people didn't know it existed. 150 million budget and it made a whopping... 700K
He-Man wasn't my thing as a kid, I was a Ninja Turtles kid, but I probably would have seen this in theatres if the trailer wasn't so bad. I love going to the theatre but I just couldn't bring myself to go with how cheesy it looked. Will definitely watch on streaming though.
I have a buddy who compared Jared Leto's Skeletor to Frisky Dingo's Killface, which is high praise for me. Ironically, another incredibly underrated show that didn't get a third season because of viewership but now has a cult following.

Hate that for Mackie.

If you like going to the theater, this movie deserves to be seen on imax or Dolby. I’m biased, and someone who hates marvel humor, but it isn’t “cheesy” in my view. it’s more fantastical and a little whimsical. But not to the point you’re rolling your eyes that it’s so childish you’re mad you paid to see it. Granted, they could’ve cut back some of the jokes to let the emotion breathe.
This action on the big screen is very cool to see. I think it loses imax and Dolby screens after tomorrow night

He-man was mid 80's Turtles were late 80s early 90s.
They weren't on air at the same time.
I liked Gi Joe, MASK and Thundercats more than HeMan. But I watched them all.

For the first run, yeah. I looked it up because I know I saw He-Man on TV and had the toys when I was a kid even though I’m a millennial. Apparently, it was on syndication until September 1990.
Either I have a better memory than I realized or maybe we rented / bought VHS of it. And it was the OG show, not the new adventures.
