He-man is just not on my time -though I have vague memories of New Adventures-  and I've never been in the market for the toys -for the longest time I didn't even know there were toys-. However, after witnessing some of the internet drama -which includes all of the usual suspects- I was even less interested. Then I saw the review by Scott -I selfinserted into the franchise - Neitlich and he was very excited and gleeful for it. I decided I need to see it if someone who was both passionate and self-restrained praised it. And I'll eventually get to it. I'll probably like it, or not. But I lack baggage, I'm not passionate about this, so any response I have to it will be moderate. (Though the minis and the megablocks figures look interesting)Now I think that -regardless of the show actual quality, which is a suspended judgement until I watch it for myself- the show pushes the right buttons for a lot of people, but at the same time it doesn't for other people -and I'm not talking about the usual suspects-. Both groups are fans but for different reasons, some seem to be on it for the wide pool of characters and the lore and have kept up with all of the expanded universe and love this. Others just wanted more He-man and won't be pleased by anything but more He-man. They aren't wrong, they just thought this show was specifically for them and feel betrayed and are lashing out?(I mean, the marketing was a bit missaimed?) There is too much of "it is good but..." around to just be the usual suspects.</blockquote>
