He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Reboot

I just posted my Greatest Animation list here:

And the Animation: Greatest TV, Part IV

Prior threads on Greatest TV Shows- Part I, Drama. Part II, Comedies. Part III, Science Fiction. I'm wrapping up this week's look at the great TV shows with my fourth, and FINAL, installment. This is about the animated TV shows. Instead of providing my usual list of criteria that I use in...

And then stumbled upon the release of the trailer for Masters of the Universe: Revelation here:

It's Executive Produced by Kevin Smith, good music, and Mark "I am not Luke, I am Joker" Hamill as the voice of Skeletor.

On the one hand, it does an awesome job of getting those 80s vibes, while updating it.
On the other hand, after seeing the amazing job they did with She-Ra by doing something different, this feels a little too same-y?

Are you looking forward to this?

I am looking forward to it more than I care to admit.

Definitely looking forward to this!

I was a total geek for the original as a little kid. I also watched and enjoyed the 2000s reboot.

This looks interesting. If anything, I worried that it's not over-the-top enough with weirdness. The promo makes the action scenes look a bit too serious. It could just be the editing, though.

I wasn't looking forward to it until I just found out it existed due to your post. Now I am!

Definitely looking forward to this!

Animation? You?

Animation? You?

Generally not. But I watched He Man as a kid. It’ll be a nostalgia trip.

Hell yea. Not that She-Ra wasn't really good, but I like the animation style in the trailer much better. And that trailer gave me some serious goosebumps.

Yeah, I think that's where I'm at. Sometime (all the times?) I overthink things. I just remember how amazingly and pleasantly surprised I was by She-Ra, and I'm hoping that this is just as amazing.
