The art in those original guides was great. It was detailed yet weird and mysterious, with distinctly squeamish vibes.

Yeah, I do not understand how Jared Leto still gets work. He's not a huge draw, his method acting nonsense rarely delivers performances to justify it, and on top of all that there are multiple credible allegations against him. There's a sense of reality to it. It's in the lighting, the shadows...

As someone with a twin, when we were kids, let's just say Ram-Man's spring loaded action was a lot of fun. See also this toy: But back to Masters of the Universe. The trailer left me cold. Eternia just looks like too much CGI. I really wish people would just build models and sets again. Yes...
