Another chapter in the "woke wars", I suppose. I watched the first episode, and it was fine. Teela gets more screen time than usual (I think, I haven't watched He-Man in decades...), but not a lot, to be honest. And her behavior is just what you would expect from a warrior, it doesn't feel forced at all. Adam/He-Man remains the clear protagonist. But people got mad for nothing, as they usually do.
I didn't find the episode very compelling. It wasn't bad, either. Kevin Smith said he was aiming at an adult audience, but it is still not something I'd consider "adult-only", like Netflix's Castlevania. I mean, he would have to break tradition quite drastically to make it truly appealing to an adult audience. I'm not talking about violence, by the way, but rather the story. Masters of the Universe features a rather simple morality with unidimensional characters -- you know, it's for kids!
Regardless, nostalgia is a factor, I just don't seem to be that nostalgic about it.
