Masters of the Universe - Reboot

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

This movie has been in development forever. Without searching, guess what is the most talked about thing in this trailer.

Dating? Someone's gender? Can we date tigers? He -> He-man?

How wrong his voice is for the character?

Right? I hope they deepen it when he transforms.

Anyway, it's the pronouns on his name plate. Red flags are flying for a lot of people because Amazon is involved and they completely fucked LotR, The Boys, etc. with woke nonsense.

Hollywood really needs to accept how such things are immediate turn offs for most of the population. People want to be entertained, not preached to.

I took it as mocking and driving home the . . . 'whatever' of office life.

In the way that Mike Judge very much would have included them in Office Space. Or how they would have been included in the office scenes of Wanted.

Yeah, I also thought it was a bit early to judge. It could very well just be them having a bit of fun with the audience.
