I mean, I’m sure it’s common with a lot of these FM channels: they see these people as posers who came from the boom of shit like The Big Bang Theory and the MCU and tries to make it like what they saw because Bazinga. And when the people already there see them as parasites and it’s time for fate keeping hours, the beef is born.
I know that I am late on this, but there are other theme parks you can go to besides Disney. Like in Florida there is Busch Gardens for example. There is more to life than just Disney, you have options.
Disney World isn't even the best movie studio owned theme park in Florida.
To be fair,a good number of people have been calling Kevin Smith a washed up hasbeen for a while. Anyone remember Kevin Smith's Green Hornet?
The rotoscoping is one of the most charming things about the old show if you watch it today on youtube with fresher eyes. The effects weren't so jarring back then or it could be faulty memory, but you'll periodically see scenes where He-Man will move unbelievably smoothly to pick up a boulder or something, and you can just tell it's a real dude picking up a foam boulder to hurl. Then in the next scene you'll get some janky walk animation that looks as cheap as anything Hanna-Barbera did in the 70's with the Herculoids. Certain scenes look as if they were traced over a real person doing a real scene; that's the rotoscoping in action.
The one thing I'd argue is that they really try to shoehorn in black kids into a show where people traditionally have blue, green, yellow & purple skin. Yeah the main characters are white but sheesh, give it a rest, black people aren't going to watch it.
Yeah the old stuff is... Not that great actually. Don't know why people defend it vehemently and make it out to be one of the greatest shows of the 80s
I love how throughout the fallout that was Kevin Smith's He-Man, Kneon and Geeky repeatedly insisted that the issue was mainly due to Kevin Smith's "rude" tone towards fans and how his version was touted as a faithful continuation, but this second show did none of that and they still find a way to be pissed off about it. Sorry guys, but today's children aren't watching Filmation's adaptation and the right holders for these IPs would be foolish to just leave them unused. I at least appreciate how this show is unapologetically remade from the ground-up and doing something new for their intended demographic; children. Shows like these could actually help make children interested in the older versions, but people like Kneon and Geeky would rather not have it happen at all because "muh nostalgia"! There's valid criticism, then there's just pathetic gate-keeping that benefits no one except the losers unwilling to share these IPs with newer generations.
You had to be there. The 80s with their toys and cartoons to push the toys were perfect for the time. Atari was the main console and not everyone was addicted to games yet. Nintendo wouldn't be in the US til 85. Cartoons and their toy tie-ins were peak immersion into the fantasy world.
