A netizen expressing their views on the Masters of the Universe trailer.
“My thoughts on the Masters of the Universe trailer. I honestly think they are making the same mistake the original fell into. Why does Adam, AKA He-Man have to grow up on Earth? Earth should have nothing to do with Eternia and vice versa. This is where the original film bombed. While this is just a teaser, I have to say, I am not impressed. How hard is it to make the characters look like their cartoon counterparts? Also no Orko? Why are you robbing us?”

“Yesterday I was excited about the Masters of the Universe teaser that appealed to nostalgia... Watching the just released clip... it's a hard pass for me. Generic, visually ridiculous, looks like another film to please everyone that ends pleasing only idiots... what a disappointment.”
