    I liked the 200X series quite a bit and particularly the addition of King Grayskull to the mythology—- having said that, I really dislike Adam being a direct descendant of Grayskull. It’s too far off from the original concept of the character, whether the “Oo-lar” mini comics or Filmation Prince Adam origin. Right by bloodline is such an hoary old concept and saps the uniqueness of why Adam is special.

    Yeah it's a double standard. I could go into a whole speech about it, but not getting into that here. It's off topic

    As far as I can tell, you had it right the first time. Grayskull was from 500 years before Prince Adam.

    I'm well aware. Hell, Zodak wasn't even the first choice, they attempt to race swap both Beastman and Stratos first.

    Sorry, I didn't see the "unknown generational gap. You don't have to be a dick about it.

    Yeah, you'll get no argument with me about criticizing the lack of muscles on a lot of women in comic book history.

    New trailer looks good love the incorporation of deep characters and the Eternia Playset. The action looks good too.

    It really wouldn't even be a problem if they made some male characters look a little bit more realistic, like Superman for example, just give him the average body type or at this point a dad bod, so that he looks like he takes care of himself, but doesn't look like he could beat a grizzly bear to death with his bare hands without super powers.

    Anyone catch lizard man in the trailer? He was one of he-mans allies who never got a toy in the 80s and was only in two episodes! They looked far into the show for that one!

    Here is his first episode.



    Wonder if any of the bad guys or heroes of new adventures of he-man will show up as easter eggs?

    Don't mind muscles on girls it's the way they are drawing them more and more to look like men that is making things weird.

    There are muscular women

    To be fair, Liefeld loves giving women muscles, along with a rubber spine, but yeah.

    Or just anyone who can look at something critically.

    Two of these heroes are similar levels of undressed. One of them has their spine twisted so you can leer at her tits and ass at the same time.

    Pretty much the only one who gets it equal opportunity in comics is Grayson, to the point where it's become memetic and in the case of the Scott cover actually the Female Gaze getting to assert itself.

    I admit, the recent Red She-Hulk reveal is a bit much, even for me, and I'm someone who approved on some of the directions the Jason Aaron Jen was going visually. On topic, Teela and Evil-Lyn seem more balanced in that regard, so hope to see more of that. O'Brian over there is fantastic though, I still have the action figure of her from way back when Marvel Legends tried doing figures based on other comic properties. Never did complete the Monkeyman BAF.

    Sex sells. I'm sorry there are people out there that will spend more money if there is a sexy looking female (or male) on the cover.

    I never said they aren't sexualized, I said if you don't think that women like to see scantily clad men, take a look at romance covers sometime. Anything else is way beyond the scope of the thread.

    Got to be honest here man... I wish we could just talk about these shows and speculate what they're going to be like or how cool or not cool we think they are in this sub-forum without some people constantly jumping up on a soapbox and waving their flag of the day around.

    I have most of the bad actors here on ignore now. Honestly, I don't know how they're still on the site, considering how they constantly skirt the "no politics" rule by posting the usual nerd outrage garbage.

    Yeah, I agree. I think the show hits the right balance of muscules for the female characters, without going overboard. The outfits also seem to hit the balance of being interesting enough to encourage cosplay, but not too out there in being difficult to make.

    I mean, I think its kind weird to use She-Hulk as an example of overly muscular women in modern comics because she doesn't represent the norm. It's like using the Hulk as an example of a trend of overly muscular men. If every female Marvel hero looked like this She-Hulk or every male Marvel hero looked like the Hulk I could see your point.

    That's a cool family tree! Thanks for sharing!
