He-Man And The Masters of the Universe Trailer Gives Adam Pronouns And The Power

The story he told First trailer for He-Man on Amazon

The film’s trailer begins with a voiceover explaining that the fantasy elements of the world of Eternia are real, while CGI shows off its structures, spaceships, and magic. The voiceover is from Adam, who appears as a young man in this CGI world, and then as a young adult in a completely ordinary, monotonous bedroom. His mother sent him away, according to the trailer, to a place where he has never been found.

Naturally, that place is Earth, where we’re treated to a montage of depressing things, like Adam’s desk job (with a sign of pronouns) and the disapproval of a co-worker, who appears to be his boss, for his “obsession with nerd stuff.”

Adam appears to be tracking down a power sword he found in a hobby shop.

He draws Teela into a spaceship to come and take him home to save the planet.

We then see an action scene and urgent explanations from the Queen about why she sent Adam away. Villains Skeletor and Evil-Lyn also appear, lurking more dangerously than ever. We’ve also shown the famous transformation and some shots of He-Man himself, proving that this origin story isn’t just Surf Dracula, and we’ll be seeing a lot of superheroes in the film.

Wait, are we going to do the real thing again?

The first glaringly noticeable thing about Adam in the trailer is that he is no Overly muscle-bound, even though Prince Adam is. In the glimpse of He-Man we get at the end of the trailer, he’s a little skinny, but he doesn’t look like the Mattel toy the cartoon was designed around.

Instead of being the lazy, spoiled prince who terrorizes Teyla during his appearances on the show, this Adam is the Chosen One, anxiously awaiting his big destiny.

With a world as rich as Eternia, I’ve always wondered about the filmmakers’ obsession with bringing “our world” into the mix. Dolph Lungren version Masters of the universe In 1987 he did this too. When we sat down to watch cartoons, we wanted to get away from the real world. It was disappointing for a Dolph Lundgren movie to do that, and it’s disappointing for them to do it again.

Special effects are provided

Some of the computer-generated images are overwhelming and look cartoonish, but I’m not going to lie: some of them look really cool. The trailer shows us fantastic views, futuristic cities, ancient castles and magical feats. Unlike a lot of CGI that looks like that animated sequence in Mary Poppins, the effects are there Masters of the universe It feels like part of the world.

The trailer does a great job of hiding the more famous names in the cast, with only Idris Elba appearing in the role of Man-At-Arms. Also hiding behind newcomers Nicholas Galitzine as Adam and Camila Mendes as Teyla are Morena Baccarin as the Greyskull Witch, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, and Jared Leto as Skeletor.

Speaking of Skeletor, his makeup is really great, and much better than when he was played by Frank Langella in 1987. Instead of being a bumbling cartoon villain, he looks like the terrifying tyrant he’s meant to be.

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Battle Cat, who looks like a “live action” reject from Jon Favreau. The lion king.

He is a man with his own pronouns. Is this a joke or an activity?

I can’t let Adam’s name in the business go by without mentioning more. I don’t know if the point of the clearly displayed “he/him” pronouns is tongue-in-cheek. It is either another sign of activity that has gone into the storytelling, or Masters of the universe He makes fun of him.

The movie’s hero is called “He-Man” anyway. The “man” was what all the boys wanted to be when they grew up, a symbol of masculine heroism and the force that makes right, which is why the inclusion of his pronouns caught my attention so strongly.

but, Masters of the universe Maybe he’s making a little fun of pronouns and the banality of institutional life by placing it on Adam’s desk. He-Man makes a great antidote to the “modern hero” because he so clearly represents all the good things about masculinity. If Hollywood is willing to make jokes about its activism, perhaps this is a sign that movies will return to focusing on the story rather than the “message.”

However, the trailer doesn’t really hint at any messages, preferring to wow audiences with special effects and fight scenes. Other than the distortion of Prince Adam’s backstory and some of its sketches, there’s nothing bad to say about what we’ve been shown so far. Therefore, there is hope for that Masters of the universe It won’t be another franchise ruined by modern Hollywood.

How did He-Man start?

In its original form, He is a man It was about Prince Adam of Eternia and his secret superhero-like identity as He-Man, a muscular, bare-chested barbarian who wielded a magic sword. With the help of his friends, Battle Cat, Man-At-Arms, Teela, and the witch of Castle Greyskull, He-Man defends Eternia from the evil machinations of the terrifying skull-faced skeleton and his super-villain minions.

The show was interesting because it combined the best things about fantasy and science fiction of the era: magic swords, evil witches and wizards, ray guns, spaceships, and alien planets. He-Man, as a character, was a classic fantasy hero, full of muscle and prophecy. His backstory was that he was the spoiled son of the king and queen of the planet who was given the magical Sword of Power to defend him and the universe from Skeletor’s evil magic, turning him into a better man.

The movie Masters of the universe It will be released in theaters on June 5, 2026.
