Oh, I'm very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads? They all adore me. They think I'm a righteous dude.
yOu NeVeR sAw ThE cArToOn!
I did. When Adam became He-Man, he became competent, confident, assured; instilled with the wisdom of Grayskull.
This? This is THOR: RAGNAROK's copied homework.
Take off the nostalgia goggles, I am begging you. This is sloppity-slop.
@FloopyFloof Dude... just block me and move on. You're outmatched, and you're never gonna win, and quite honestly, your arguments are pedestrian and boring. I do this song and dance all the time.
@FloopyFloof This is incorrect. As stated, there can still be stakes. There can still be jeopardy.
If he wasn't shot down, and took them all out and flies back up to Teela, sure!
But he doesn't.
He can be competent and still struggle.
Star Wars has ruined you all and made you retards.
And you're defending the modern product of that "extended toy commercial" by... demeaning it?
Obviously there was a LOT more to it if it's still around after 44 years.
But yes. If you like the jokey-quipy-hipster MCU dreck, you have an undiscernible palate. Bon appetit.
@Doc_Schlock@MarioGomes1938 You're complaining about the faithfulness of an adaptation of an 80s children's cartoon (something that was created to be an extended toy commercial), but you're accusing other people of having the "palate of a toddler"?
@FloopyFloof In this current era, it'd have been more refreshing to have the main hero competently flying out into the battle. There would still be stakes, there would still be jeopardy. It wouldn't alter anything except NOT making him a joke complete with a goofy yell.
We finished, cupcake?
@FloopyFloof It's a highly recycled clichรฉ at this point, because science fiction has been physically abusing it since Star Wars and George Lucas popularized it.
This scene wasn't to show Adam learning, it was done to emasculate him for cringe humor. He-Man was competent and confident...
