I've been kind of excited for the Masters of the Universe movie for several years now. As a huge fan of that brand, it does have potential if they don't screw it up.

It's a balancing act between leaning into the absurdity of it all that the audience gets caught up in the fun, but not so far into it that it becomes parody

I fail to see the absurdity of Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a Brian Jones wig and fur bikini briefs

Please explain

Smith's got shat on because promotion for it hyped "The Return of He-Man" and it was mostly "Teela's Quest".

And it was also hyped as a "sequel to the original series", which was a kids' show, but this had grisly deaths.

Actually, because of rights issues, it's technically not. That's also why they didn't even mention anything from She-Ra at all.

Had the marketing been more honest about what they were making it probably would have been received better. And Kevin Smith would have spared himself at least half a dozen social media crying sessions.
