@Exalted_Speed@DanGuy96 There was definite contempt for He-Man with Stevenson, and that contempt seemed to be returned in kind for SPOP by Travis Knight.
@DanGuy96@Exalted_Speed And that box set is still a bare-bones release. SPOP didn't even get that much (although part of me suspects Mattel doesn't want them to release it in any capacity). And that show is dogged by the rumors that everyone involved in the movie hates it.
@Wheeljack83 Good question, although in Amazon's case since their primary revenue driver is advertising (specifically getting people to buy stuff on Amazon) I imagine a lot of it based on the ad rates and how much traffic https://t.co/WfE5arkD67 gets.
With the toys apparently selling well and the fairly positive audience, I do believe this is a big level set meant to be a new base for the franchise after a lot of recent missteps and Amazon expects to make it up on the back end.
Man if ever there was an easy game to make... have Blade run around and hack & slash vampires... have Wesley Snipes record the voice. Make a bajillion dollars.
Oh God, here we go again…
I’m pretty sure this confirms Prime Video is getting the Energon Universe. But I question the wisdom after the movie and the comic Kickstarter BARELY cracked $100k.
A live-action ‘JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS’ series is in the works at Prime Video.
Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan (‘Fallout’) are producing the series.

He-Man is never going to keep a proper foothold in popular culture until they suck it up and make a version of him gay. I know this because they made a She-Ra gay and now I willingly chose to remember there’s a character out there named Netossa
I have to meet the kid who had to deal with divorce by listening to the wizard from he-man and the dad from growing pains, like is there a weird trauma where you see Orko and flashback to your parents fight?
@sylabdul Voltron’s value was utterly totaled by that disaster of a Dreamworks show, the one that forgot it was supposed to be about giant robots punching monsters and other giant robots. A big streaming movie meant to reintroduce the franchise that hates the DW show makes sense.
It also explains Voltron going direct to streaming despite its considerable budget. The same reset that’s necessary after the commercial and cultural disaster that was Legendary Defender. Telling Da Kids Voltron is about giant robots, not your older sister’s gay pairings.
