He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

[Halb]

Any love for this old cartoon? Any hope that it would be a good film, or a load of old tosh?

I am now following grumpyskeletor on twitter. His posts appear in my head in his voice, no effort.

I would have thought the Money Supermarket ads had well and truly shafted (oo-er) He-Man's chances of ever making a comeback.

agree with you both.

Who else had the toy set?



Yes I think MOTU is worth remaking!!

Oh yes. Had Grayskull (and lots of figures & some vehicles) but unfortunately not Snake Mountain.

[Halb]

Don't think I had Greyskull or any buildings, but I was very lucky and had all the early figures. I can still remember where me and my mum would go and get one from the market. It was something I'd really look forward to every week. I think TRansformers or Zoids or something may have lured me away from He-Man, difficult to recall.

I had Thundercats figures, sad to say I never owned a He-Man!

I have genuine affection for Masters of the Universe (the film), our neighbour owned a video rental van (Hollywood Nights) and anything left the van on Sunday mornings was ours until mid-afternoon. I got through hundreds of films such as Krull, Masters of the Universe, Howard the Duck, Adventures in Babysitting, Frog Dreaming, The Goonies, Garbage Pail Kids and so on. Good times.

there's a good documentary on Netflix about MOTU and He-Man ...

Toxic masculinity at its worst. Itll need a re-write just like ghostbusters 3...

I am find of all those hokey 80s fantasy films, but I love Adventures in Babysitting. Me and my gran would watch it together a lot. When it was last on telly it was censored/cut rather badly, which ruined the experience for me. I read about it a few weeks ago and it was remade. I can't imagine it being bettered though.

I loved the He-Man film, in my defence I was only 10.

I'm still awaiting a Thundercats movie rather than a He-Man one although this does seem interesting. There was a rumour years back that Paul Walker was to play Lion-O and Ving Rhames as Panthro (could definitely see that) but that was it.

One film I'd like to see made is of a Marvel UK character called Death's Head. What a character.

Only in the UK (if that)

Oh man, that would be cool. I still have my DH annual from years back. He was such a cool character. I've read that the DH robots in WOrld War Hulk are an himage to him. Yes.
