Hollywood tries He-Man again

Roboto (Kristen Wiig), Man At Arms (Idris Elba), Adam (Nicholas Galitzine), Teela (Camila Mendes) and Cringer in 'Masters of the Universe.' (Amazon MGM Studios)

As a child of the 80’s some IP are held saredly to my bosom. G.I. Joe, Transformers, Thundercats, TMNT and He-Man. As with any good idea Hollywood has bludgeoned these shows in to submission as mediocre movies at best (Transformers) and utter embarrassments at worst (GI Joe). However; I feel the cold hand of cautious optimism creeping in as I watched the first He-Man trailer (below). All I want from these movies is a little loyalty to the source material. People try too hard to put their own stamp on stuff. Don’t. Just tell us a story in the style we’ve proven we like. That’s it. Not that hard.

Jake "Tank" Mitchell

If you asked Tank why he got in to radio he will tell you “Some kids wanted to be Zach Morris. I wanted to be ‘Dr’ Johnny Fever.” There isn’t anything else in the world that Tank could see himself doing.
