Somehow i actually liked this movie when it came out. Watched it again last year. It’s bad.
My theory on that 1987 version was that He-Man was so popular from 1983-85 that the desire for a live action film was in the stratosphere. They came out with it and it was so bad. Maybe one of the worst adaptations ever put on film. But the marketing and desire made people "like it."

They appear to have changed some canon in this version, but at least it makes sense. Eternia is defeated by Skeletor (Randor's brother) and Adam's mother sends him to her home (Earth) to escape. He grows up thinking he's a normal human but Teela comes and seeks him out to come back to save Eternia. Dr. Evelyn Powers (Evil-lyn) follows her and poses as a college professor and keep her eye on him.

Hate to admit, but the hair on my neck stood up when he pulled the sword from his back. My favorite cartoon when I was 6. My brother hid Moss Man in the Christmas tree one year for me and it took us forever to find him.

I need Sweeney in a Shera outfit

I tried to use one of the free links DS provides for the AI Football Week contest.

I prompted: Sydney Sweeney dressed as Shera from Masters of the Universe.

The Result: "The system detected potentially unsafe content. Please try again or adjust the prompt."

There was this old girl in school that had a protruding jaw and wore one of those retainers that went around the back of your head (some of you know what I'm talking about). Til this day she is still called Trap Jaw. This is not the girl but posting because I know some of you youngsters have absolutely NO idea what I'm referring too.

Please just tell me this character is not in the movie. For you older gents, on the scale of annoying, late-series add on characters, he is right between the martian on The Flintstones and Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch.

I am in.

I loved He Man when I was young. I haven't gone back and watched any of the old cartoons as an adult but I bet they are bad.
