Also animated. Apparently this HE-MAN will be computer-animated. No idea what idiom it’s going to be in, though.
It would appear that SHE-RA has encouraged Netflix to do this show — and, honestly: SHE-RA isn’t bad (my wife loves the show). It’s not my targeted towards my particular demographic, to say the least: but I don’t find anything pernicious in it and not every entertainment product necessarily needs to be pitched directly to me.
…Well, that’s a lie, but that’s only because I’m egotistical. My point is, this new HE-MAN might not suck. Or it might! Keep watching the skies.

Even the protagonists’ name, “He-Man”, is gonna touch off some of the hardcore “toxic masculinity” harridans ..
.
…and the minefield of what non-toxic authentic masculinity really means is tough to put on screen in a thirty minute format.

….. I mean, Grizzly Adams sorta managed it, but .. only sorta ..

Guess we’ll see how it goes.

I’ve seen the character sheet for their version of She-Ra. Pass.
One of the reviewers I’ve been following lately has a rather strong opinion about the new She-Ra so she and your wife would likely have a lively discussion. But, and I’m glad that I just checked, this is apparently a *different* Masters of the Universe show than the one the Kevin Smith is helming. That by itself sends off warning bells. Launching a variant version of something already on the way suggests that someone behind the scenes doesn’t know what they are doing on at least one of those projects.
