Giant He-Man Lightning Rod installed in Sao Paulo

Yep.

But to clarify, as far as I can tell in the original cartoon show opening castle greyskull was introduced with lightning in one shot, and then in a separate shot He-Man "having the power" in front of the castle involved a flashy sparklery effect which while not completely unlike lightning (and drawn very lightning-like in a few frames) was definitely different than the lightning shown seconds earlier. Meanwhile the new movie (based on the results of a google image search for "he-man lightning") seems to have elided the two scenes into one, so that "having the power" involves he-man drawing lightning from the heavens, which is, I would hazard, cooler.

Here's the original.
It is almost like people forget they can look up clips...

Might be worth an experiment or two, though. For science.

I did have a cat who used to build up a lot of static, so every time I pointed at his nose he got hit by a spark.

Don't bring your facts and due diligence onto the internet the whole thing could collapse.

If someone gets a picture of that statue/lightning rod getting hit by lightning, that could be really cool!

I assume they set up a camera to catch any strikes.

Okay, neat and all. But... why? Lightning wasn't part of He Man's power. I guess the visual is kinda similar. And why Brazil?

I think Brazil gets more lightning strikes than any other country. The most common single location for lightning strikes is Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela, which is just north of Brazil. But putting it there might be... problematic at the moment.
