@ornclown I can totally imagine that this movie will be huge in Japan, even though I don't think vintage MOTU had any real presence there.
Agreed.
Japan is all about colorful, sentai action shows... and MOTU, on some level, is an action show full of colorful characters!

Watch the video then read the comments! Looks like this Camila chick is another Rachel Zegler or Brie Larson.
Ugh... the downside of a new MOTU project coming out: all the usual troll-bait, doom and gloom videos littered all over the dark, stinky recesses of YouTube.
Revelation was a victim of relentless, mostly false accusations from these click-baity cesspool videos - MONTHS before it even aired on Netflix.
Sadly, the MOTU CGI project was treated in much the same way...
Now, MOTU 2026 is the new click-generator.
Look, I'm not going to claim that these shows are perfect, and yes, the people involved in the movie should think about what they're going to say and how it will impact the project and their overall careers.
But, I'd strongly recommend avoiding these YouTube losers who are preying on people's fears to generate clicks. They are sad, tactless, little people who don't deserve a second of your precious time.
Watch the video ...
Yeah, I had to stop watching when this guy claimed MOTU was watched primarily by little boys in the 80s. MOTU was a hit with girls too... over 40% of the audience was female, a fact that led directly to the creation of She-Ra Princess of Power.

@ornclown And what happened after the creation of She-Ra & the 87 movie? Sales plummeted drastically in 1 year, The Power Of Grayskull line was canceled & MOTU was done. 40% of girls liked MOTU but that didn't translate into toy sales, the only thing that mattered. And they probably only liked it because of the big beefy mostly naked men. It didn't make them want to buy the figures. Most of them simply played with their brother's MOTU toys.
Hell, I love Princess Of Power. But do you see Mattel racing to make those characters? Masterverse only got She-Ra, Frosta, Catra & Shadow Weaver. And even the Origins Cartoon Collection hasn't done much better. And now here we are in 2026 with yet another franchise reset. I don't even see any point in trying to defend this nonsense anymore. Hindsight is 20/20. We already know what's coming. Even if the movie is a smashing success, Mattel will find some retarded way to reset the franchise again in a few years. Start, make the same 10-15 core characters, don't finish, start again, rinse, repeat. What's the point anymore???
@sci-fitsunami YOU think you know what's coming, there is no WE. Don't put us into this.
@sci-fitsunami The line died in 1987 because of overproduction as Mattel released the first half of 1987 product half a year early

This is my understanding also, along with some over-shipping and misunderstanding what figures the stores were really asking for.

@admin I wonder if any of the Eternian language will be deciphered in the "Art of the Film" book. I would love an in-depth look into it!
