This is hilarious to me.
"THEY'RE REVIEW BOMBING"
*Major show with millions of fans gets released all at once*
*Shocked when the first reviews are all major fans and not casuals*
It isn't review bombing you dumb faggots, people who are fans watch first and if they hate your garbage, they will let you know. Jesus christ.
Is it so fucking hard to deliver a reboot or remake in this modern day and age that DOESN'T completely shit on the fans? Like, shit.
Does every female lead nowadays either have to be Star Butterfly levels of annoyingly quirky, or Batwoman levels of "FUCK YOU MEN I HATE YOU"?
This kind of bullshit always leads to culture war nonsense, where uppity hipster faggot critics rate the show 10/10 because it makes muh bigoted manbabies mad, meanwhile the fans of the show (alongside some people who are only there for the outrage sparks, let's be honest) rightfully hate it. But after wording it that way, I can see why Smith and Netflix do this shit so often. This culture war bullshit wins critics over big time and gets more people talking about the show. Then you have people on Twitter who pretend to like the show because it goes against those meany misogynist manbabies who hate the show ONLY because they're misogynist and nothing else.
Fucking hell, at least don't waste the talent of Powerhouse on this.
That's the fucking worst part. No, we can't have a good He-Man series, we have to have some stupid edgy "subversive" hipster shit, just like every shitty reboot that goes..."What if protagonist...was bad??!!" and everyone else spends the show in indignant melodrama rage. Somehow, intentionally pissing off fans of the original is good writing. "Subverting expectations" is such a damn crutch.
Literally everything about the trailers focused on He-Man. Why not be honest?
Firstly, the image of women that this show promotes is a complete marketing tool. You have to realize it is solely marketed towards the narcissistic cunt. They cannot empathize with anyone. They do not understand how other people feel. Their only conception is themselves. That's why her biggest fear is that she's 'special'. Which is, of course, not their fear at all. Their biggest fear is that they're a dime a dozen, not worth the time spent on them. Which is correct. They are. This is largely the Twitter Thot on the internet. And the soyboy cucks that lust after them.
This show is totally driven by their market demographic. It was not designed to be a good story or tell a good story. It was designed to appeal to a Twitter demo that is incredibly self centered and sell toys to the fans who long for the better days. It is not meant to be anything but that.
The real problem they have is that because they blew their wad with the first half, there is no incentive for the older fans to stick around for the second half. There's really no incentive for anyone really. Honestly, I think the whole series is a fucking hilarious misfire and they MASSIVELY fucked up when they ended on a cliffhanger. The days where old fans will eat whatever shit is put in front of them is long past and this idea where you can forever insult them while building up a 'new' audience that doesn't give a shit and has no attachment is pretty hilarious.
You've already bait and switched the old fans, so they're not going to come back. Except maybe a few to hate watch. The 'new' fans have no attachments to pretty much anything but themselves, so they're instantly gone, if they ever watched more than one episode. What Kevin Smith and Netflix have left is a dead husk of a series with no audience left. It really is rather fucking pathetic, to be quite honest. When you do a bait and switch, you do it all at once. You don't take a break in the middle, because dumbfuck, that defeats the purpose.
Who cares. It's not as if it wasn't implausible that Smith and/or Netflix were going to screw over He-man.
Who...was...this...for?
There's two things really.
One, it was a show designed by committee. It fucking REEKS of it:
"Ok, so we're doing He-Man. That shit is embarrassing and we have to take it seriously, ugh. Ok, we'll put him in for like an episode. Is there anyone else we can focus on? We need a good 18-34 demo."
"We can do this Teela person."
"I mean, that costume is embarrassing. Give her a square jaw and cut her hair. Make her an unlikeable, narcissistic cunt, because otherwise our major female demo of useless thots won't be able to relate to her. And for god sake, put her in pants."
"YOU ARE SO INTELLIGENT WHITE BOOMER EXECUTIVE! Now we'll capture the Twitter whore demographic and the thirsty cucks who lust after them! If that fails, we can sucker in the old fans."
I mean, it looks pretty obvious to me. So its a show basically for no one. Because younger zoomers are going to be embarrassed (as if they weren't fucking embarrassing enough) by the 80s trope, so He-Man had to be replaced in their eyes to appeal to them. Them doing a serious He-Man story was highly unlikely because I bet fucking money they were embarrassed by the property.
Then you have the societal isolation that is Hollywood. They're solely insulated among themselves and they have no real conception of what real people are like.
I never took Kevin Smith for an SJW. I always knew he was a pretentious hack, but I never thought he would pull something like this. I've never been a He-Man fan, yet this still pisses me off because 1) it was a blatant bait-and-switch like everyone is saying and 2) another franchise is destroyed for the sake of soapboxing socjal justice bullshit.
The only good thing Kevin Smith has ever made, in my opinion, was Clerks. He should have kept it at that. To quote Bender, "I'd say don't quit your day job, but you're awful at that too!"
Kevin Smith has always been a Disney/Warner Brothers cocksucker who deep throated their big corporate cock because he DESPERATELY, DESPERATELY wants to direct a super-hero movie and make a bajillion fucking dollars. Him crying over Star Wars was fucking HILARIOUS. I was a huge fucking nerd and even back when I was a child when I still had a sense of wonder and imagination I'd be like "Goddamn nigger, calm the fuck down. Its just a movie." The fact as a fucking 40 year old AIDS patient he is weeping over the dumbest fucking mass-market trash means his knees need to be broken with baseball bats, because I don't know how you solve a case of his terminal retardation without a good beating.
