I also appreciate Adora's VA trying her best Melendy Britt (basically half of the original show's cast) impression during the "how do i shot web" montage.

Chokes McGee posted:My favorite part of all this is that they don’t even bother to hide Adora’s powers and she uses them just whenever. I'm actually a little mad because I kind of feel like you should either ignore the previous versions illogic with the secret identity OR do like the Jem comics reboot did and actually justify it. She-Ra tried to have it's cake and eat it by doing the "everyone hates Adora because she used to be Horde, so she has to hide her identity" thing and then discarding it.

Fisto was MOTU, wasn't he? Probably off-limits unless they loosen the reins.

Waffleopolis posted:I want the (possible) new He-Man to have more armor than the previous versions due to being practical and also it would piss off the same people or some reason. I think the best mode would simply be to have the He-Man design be inspired by the New Adventures one. It's more athletic than bodybuilder and you can even have Adam be a similar skinny kid to Adora.

On the subject of the original show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkZ68Ch7-ys Bear in mind He-Man and She-Ra are SIBLINGS as you listen to this.

The_Doctor posted:The only villains in the show who are actually villainous are Hordak and Shadow Weaver. Everyone else is more laissez-faire about the whole thing. Well, Catra's more "Mommy didn't love/abuse me as much as Adora so gently caress it Imma burn everything"

Netflix should really make it clear to Dreamworks that this is their plan, because DW are clearly making these shows with the normal 13-26 episode cycle in mind and building to season finales based on that. They try with these 'mid-season finale' episodes but they're almost always character studies that don't get paid off for months or years. Also had to laugh at how ![]()

Madurai posted:I'm glad Scorpia will have Inspector Pirate to rebound to. I took that as more her and Sea Hawk bonding over being in love with girls who seem to at best be oblivious to their feelings (OK, it does seem like Mermista kinda is into him)

Android Blues posted:My favourite one of these is when Adora turns her sword into a lasso and looks disgusted at how obviously useless this thing is. In the original series, the lasso got an absolutely unreal amount of air time because hitting people with swords, or even punching them, was a no go for children's programming. I feel like the shield also got a fair amount of play, but yeah, she may as well have been Wonder Woman for all the lassoing she did.

It reads like a problem that occurs when you both don't want to have death be a major factor in your show episode-to-episode but also don't want to dwell on what the difference between POWs in Bright Moon vs the Fright Zone would be. So instead of 'we can't kill them, we'd be just like them', you get 'we can't take prisoners' without really explaining why that would be bad, because if you did that, the whole thing collapses.

Also Frosta is the little sister who doesn't have friends, trying to impress her sister and her friends. Like, it's not hard.

Or it'll be something where Hordak's plan destroys all of Etheria and she's "But that's where all my research is!"

George is meant to look like Filmation Bow, I'm pretty sure. (Albeit with an appropriate racelift)

Megillah Gorilla posted:Here, we had this rejected Barbie stock lying around on the floor of the factory. Take them and be grateful, children. Are they even using the curvier Barbie mold for Glimmer? Like, even if they were re-using Barbie stuff, they have varying bodyshapes for that line already, so if they're not using them, it's beyond lazy.

The Last Call posted:Orko in the original show was the standard goofy silly sidekick that was constant in cartoons of the time. He was often shouting for He Man and with his voice it likely grated on some people. Now as a kid at the time I wasn't bothered by him, like I said he was the standard silly goof sidekick, every show had one. The older you were though he tended to annoy people. His inability to get spells right was basically his main method of being funny. In the 02 remake I honestly can't remember a thing about him.

I'm only on ep 2, but good for Kevin for getting his buddy paid. Jason Mewes played Stinkor

Cowl, Broom and Madam Razz all felt like they were vying for the space Orko had on He-Man, maybe a little for Cringer's spot too seeing as Swift-Wind couldn't talk in normal horse form. That wasn't so much needed on the new show.
