I, on the hand, do not like that look.

When I was watching the initial credits, I noticed Jaimie Alexander’s name and was intrigued to see how Lady Sif would play into the episde. When Thor got killed, even made a guess that it would lead to her becoming the new wielder of Mjolnir or something like that.

WHAAATTT THHEE FFFUUUUUUU

clearly something is off in the translation between Chadwick Boseman reading dialogue in a booth and Chadwick Boseman’s voice coming out of Star-Lord’s mouth.

Extraordinary that someone decided to make such a high-budget show with an art style that could be reasonably described as “what if Iron Man: Armored Adventures looked even worse”. 3D CGI is a goddamm plague.

a lot of the episode was bullshit. Even for a What If. It happened because people worship Black Panther and Boseman.

I liked the show and see a lot of the fan boy criticism (and I’d stake my life that its largely male) is absurd and reactionary. But while the way Smith is shaking up MOTU might be normal for comic book franchises— a medium he knows well — its still unusual in tv and movies. In comics Superman might die, the FF might…

Look, I get where Kevin is coming from, and I see what he’s going for, but, sorry, it was a dumb move to make us wait until season 2, whenever that even comes out, before we get to actually see the character we all showed up for.

I get where some of the anger is coming from. The first thing I saw when I loaded up Netflix was a ad/poster for the show with He Man in the center with all the other characters appearing around him looking very similar to the original series. This is clearly being marketed as the sequel or follow up they say it is.…

I’m not a fan of Kevin Smith but in this case I agree with him, the show was great and it was a fun update of the 80s original (which I’m old enough to have watched when it was on TV the first time). The irony about this, though, is he is the kind of person who helped forge the obsessive fandom that he’s complaining…

Okay, anyone complaining about the show being to “woke” can just shut up and sit down, you don’t have anything useful to contribute to the conversation.

The show is…like, well…

According to some of the Commenters here that opinion would make you as bad as an incel.

i can’t find the clip about orko but it was from his fatman podcast about the reaction to the show. it’s like three hours long, i’m not digging through that for a 30 second sound bite.

Kevin, you’ve lost enough weight. Now is not the time to bite the hand that feeds.

I love how every time a studio fucks up a movie/show/franchise and gets a negative reaction from the fan base it’s “review bombing” and “angry nerds” and “misogyny” etc. Smith flat out said that it was a He-Man show about He-Man, and it was made for the OG fans. This is of course the same guy that said in the past…

oh that’ll smooth things over with the angry fanboys.

As a complete newbie (outside of the Netlflix She-Ra series), I admit to being surprised by how little He-Man was in it.

It’s okay to stand against abuse, to agree Rogen should do everything on that list, and to still dislike Ms. Yi.
