I can't wait for the movie to be released & suck donkey balls and then all you defenders will have to eat crow. We already know it's gonna suck because Adam is going to be on Earth, Teela is Hispanic & Man-At-Arms is black. There is no way in hell it can be good now. They already destroyed the movie with horrible casting. But still, most of you insist on clinging to that fake, phony positivity.
You DO NOT change the race or gender of characters that have already been well established for 4 freakin decades. You just don't do it. You don't force feed us that stupid and pointless "diversity" nonsense. If you want diversity you create new diverse characters like Marvel did with Miles Morales. Miles Morales is the correct way to do "diversity". You don't F with already beloved characters.
You know I'm right on this one so don't even think about calling me a racist or a naysayer or a hater. Race & gender swapping is just flat out stupid & pointless. Whats the damn point? And if this movie happens to be a super, massive blockbuster hit, what does that mean? Man-At-Arms will forever be a black character from now on? Every Man-At-Arms figure will be a black guy going forward? It just doesn't make any sense. Why even bother causing confusion like that?
And how many new fans is this really going to pull in? The old original fans never got a real MOTU movie yet & now there's supposed to be a new generation that will fall in love with all these race swapped characters? And then we'll end up with a war like in the Transformers fandom between G1 & Bayverse?
Pfft.....whatever! Defend it all you want but don't start pissin & moanin when it sucks. Edris Elba is awesome! One of my favorites ever since Pacific Rim. I love the guy! But he is CLAMP CHAMP not Man-At-Arms. Stupid casting!
Edris Elba is one of your favorites? You can't even spell his name. It's Idris.
Now to your ignorant commentary. If you had any common sense you would worry about Jared Leto playing Skeletor. Idris Elba will no doubt be an amazing Man-At-Arms but Leto is the weak link. Look at the talent not at the skin color.
@northerner when I heard Idris was announced I was very excited. I love him in Pacific Rim, Sonic movies, Thor movies and The Suicide Squad. He would be a bad casting for Clamp Champ. Michael B. Jordan would be good maybe.

You nailed it. Even Clownfish likes the Idris Elba casting. Leto is the one we should be worried about.
@sketchyskeletor If his opinion is being treated as newsworthy and special, it’s fair game if others are putting that special-ness or expertise into context or question it.
Unlike you and me, he’s certainly using these “controversial” posts to boost his relevance and for financial gain.
And he’s tapping into the rage-circles of the internet. Is this the “real” fan base or the loudest?
But how can we actually discuss if we don’t know the film? Audiences loved Guardians etc
*Not aware of any tv-shows being made “based” on his characters. Deadpool is his co-creation ofc.
But that's just it, what I'm actually saying is the guy has the geek credentials to have his own opinions and share them. And why wouldn't he? The dude's relevant whether anybody likes it or not, he's a successful businessman in the geek sphere. The fact that he can draw such ire without really trying means he'll grab headlines whatever. I'm not bothered by Liefeld either way, but it's nonsense to just dismiss him because reasons. And again, we don't even know if he's talking about MOTU!
What he's saying though can be discussed in terms of 'Should MOTU be a comedy? And to what level? Is this what they'd consider the Filmation approach?' And so on. Look at people debating what a true fan is in this context. It's like welcome to the Geekdome.
He has stuff he's mentioned as being in talks but there's also Avengelyne with Margot Robbie and upcoming books. Wasn't he doing action figures too? So yeah, just dismissing him as a crank is nonsense. That's the exact same mistake people have made with the Youtubers and they're the kingmakers now making their own movies and comics alongside. You might not like what somebody is saying but sometimes that's more reason to listen.
I’m sensing you’re standing up for some folks here because you share some of their opinion, one of them a star from yesterday who is fighting for relevance and others who are terrible, terrible people… I can’t really get behind the latter. Kingmakers? Their own movies? Where? These guys are trash.
Liefeld does live off his accomplishments from 30 years ago, that is smart, and well, Axl Rose is also still relevant today, right 😏
I’m not dismissing it I’m just saying take it with a grain of salt if people post things just to get attention. Or partially.
Just because people have some power doesn’t mean we have to listen to them. Everyone has an opinion. See how some people dismiss political opinions by hollywood stars.
We live in times when Hollywood is unsure and fans think they can do everything better. But straight up fantasy or sci fy have also failed, be it The Rock’s Hercules or Momoa’s Conan,… Jupiter Ascending, The Creator,… and Star Wars movies series play it straight and are still very divisive.
Minecraft was a huge success… who knows. But we have not seen the movie, we do not know the exact vibe,… I suspect it will have multiple aspects but a lot of Charme, judging from Travis Knight’s bumblebee. But all of it is assumption and hypothetical, so 🤷

I discovered this highly disturbing article detailing how Rob Leifeld has not delivered on a Kickstarter campaign since 2013. It must be maddening for these backers considering his status in life.
If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success. -James Cameron
@elder Yikes. I mean I don’t think that site is the most reputable either, but those allegations seem well rounded and justified… it is a lot of work to do big Kickstarter productions, and looks like he (and a few others) underestimated how much work it is (besides making those actual comics).
I have lots of respect for those folks who are doing these, though it seems the more often you to, it gets more professional and easier. It’s its own business.
That said, it’s not cool to let supporters hanging, whoever you are. Relevant or not lol
