Reply To: Talk about FILMS you’ve just seen!
But for those of us who obsessed over MOTU as kids in the 80s (I had the Castle Greyskull, He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat, Panthera, Man-At-Arms and lots of other action figures), this was serious business. Nothing funny about it. And they’re losing the nostalgic “old boys” among us with these new interpretations, which presumably are just as important as the young ‘uns when it comes to target audience.
Maybe this is more targeted to the older generation like me who were already at the time making fun of their younger siblings for taking this obvious and ridiculous toys selling joke serious. Ha ha! We had Star Wars! And you grow up playing with these impotent steroid plastic muscle jerks! Haha!
Or maybe it is just the increasing James-Gunn-erization of the teenager fantasy world.
