Looks AWESOME! Hopefully fans give it a chance, instead of complaining about everything that's different. It was obviously made with a lot of reverence for the source material, which had a lot of humor and heart, so I'm excited. I really like how Cringer looks!
He-man, the biggest mouth breather in the universe. Does that goof ever have his mouth closed?
I waited to get home from work to watch it with my family. It was short but we loved it. We can't wait for tomorrow.
I'm not sure about that Roboto and Cringer but I am so very happy they honored the Filmation show.
Yes! I got this notification at school and I almost screamed with excitement
Well this thread definitely took a more open and positive upswing since I was last here. lol Pretty stoked we'll get the poster too. Saw Mattel sent out PR packages too.
@durendal The other poster didn't have to justify their irrational hate boner for Knight either.🤷♂️ They're the Ying and Yang of the movie forum, they just cancel each other out. 😆
Not much to it but I enjoyed the teaser! The opening was really cool and I think Grayskull looks fantastic! My only nitpicks so far would be Roboto's generic design and Man-At-Arms' muted armor color. It looks like the group shot shows Adam in his Earth clothes, so this may be an early scene before Roboto gets a more "accurate" upgrade from Duncan. Can't wait for the full trailer tomorrow!
Not bothered with the look of Roboto as I’ve never considered him/her a crucial part of the whole MOTU. Cringer looks good. While looking forward to the trailer .. I hope it doesn’t give away the entire plot.
I like the opening monologue... punched me right in the nostalgia.

@beardofstratos I want to hear skeletor's voice in the trailer more than anything.
Holy sheeeeet! I was not expecting a full blown trailer like that packed to the gills. Skeletor looked perfect.
Wow. I'll be there on June 5th. Seeing the visuals laid out like that is amazing. If that trailer didn't get you going nothing will. 40+ years and it's here. Finally.
@durendal I too prefer generally when they stay the most true to the source.
But, there were complaints about exactly what you mention, and even in this thread someone mentions how Gunn’s film made less than Snyder’s. Gunn’s Supes had way less muscles but also new futuristic designs on his costume. The costume was not skintight. Supes’ Bots didn’t look like him and had no red. Etc
People like different things. Some modern updates are actually fun, and will make it more appealing to general audience. Which is what is important to try to make it successful.
Artists / creators do like to give it their own spin and not just exactly reproduce what is in the source material. With MOTU, the precedents are there, there are so many different takes already.
But many things are faithful, for me, in this trailer. He-Man himself is in very traditional look. Cringer is great. Grayskull looks awesome. Fisto, Spikor seem pretty cool. Perhaps Roboto has more than one design in the film.
An all-white fast is difficult in today’s times, as is Teela’s cartoon outfit. (Also depends on the actress). Even Gunn’s film had desaturation.
I cannot change the film. You are right in sone ways. I wonder what it would have looked like. I always assumed it as a different thing from other MOTU, just like 200X was, which became beloved. I hope fans and general audience will embrace it. I hope it’ll be an enjoyable film with heart, that I will enjoy.
@cosmic I don't want to be negative. The trailer looks really good, and they did stick to the classic designs for the most part, aside from Roboto. I couldn't be happier really. I've waited nearly 40 years for a proper MOTU film to wash off the stench of that 1987 abomination that at the time felt to me like a "fuck you" to the fandom. Finally we're getting the movie we deserved in the 80's.

amen to that my brother
Whoa! Hold on now... I happen to really enjoy the 87 Movie.
I understand it was / is not to everyone's taste, but taken for what it is, I think it remains a fun romp through some twisted part of the MotU-Multiverse.
Also, considering the production hell it went through and the unwarranted oversight from Mattel, AND the complete loss of funding... it turned out pretty damn fun. And we got some cool characters out of it!
I could go on and on as to why I like the movie (and always will)... but at the end of the day, it's all subjective.
(Of course, I remember my friends saying I was weird because I actually liked the movie, way back when my dad and I saw it in the theater...) 🤔
