@AntonyArisOsula - heroism and masculinity are the same thing as heroes embody quintessential masculine traits, without them they wouldn't be heroic, they are inseperable

- both characters are the same the only difference is that Steve is true masculinty where as Adam is modern female masculinty

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

He-Man doesn't promote masculinity, what it actually does promote is a modern hyper feminized version of what it thinks an acceptable man is

e.g. Adam teaches Man at Arms to get in touch with his feeling and cry, which he learnt from working at HR, It's "Modern Masculinty"

[Shad M. Brooks @shadmbrooks]

He-man, Masters of the Universe, is NOT woke!
It has race swaps but that’s it. Just like portraying a woman as a ditsy, sexualised, or a throwaway character isn’t inherently sexists - having a male character be a goof, a bum, or the butt of a joke isn’t inherently woke. What determines it is context and what is it promoting or undermining.

Prince Adam’s goofiness and weakness does not undermine his strength as He-man, It actually compliments it due to his conflict averse personality and incopentance at fighting and conflict.
Teela shows up Adam but He-man shows up Teela and she is completely outclassed by his power. Also, Prince Adam is SUPPOSED to be a goof, the only difference is that Adam was pretending in the original where he isn’t in this, because it’s his origin story and he’s learning how to become he-man.

Man-at-arms has a full redemption arc and reclaims his strength and heroism, DUE TO ADAM helping him and teaching him the same lesson he taught Adam in his youth. Duncan is a massive positive masculine father figure and correctly contextualises what it means to be a man as he says in the film:
“No rewards for trying”
“you win with muscle”
“poets don’t save people”
“This world is no place for the weak”
“When you fall it’s your chance to stand tall”
“I didn’t teach you to fight I taught you to protect”
“Protecting and saving your family is what a man does”
These are all sentiments shared by Man-at-arms which embody true masculinity and are reinforced by the film and Adam’s arch.

Adam’s masculine journey is the best which teaches the concept of reluctant violence and restrained violence and controlled power. That peace and avoiding conflict should be sought first, but when given no other option you unleash your full power and don’t show mercy to the unrepentant. It’s hardcore and awesome. And it teaches what true manhood and masculinity is.
This film is BRILLIANT!

@RyzDaniel And you're a fucking retard who doesn't understand my post

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula He doesn't have PTSD because you can't fix after one crying session, that is a mockery of PTSD

and you totally ignored my point about Steve rogers having the same exact journey as He-man except captain america embodies true masculine qualities of courage, honor, loyalty etc.

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula why doesn't teela cry then or the queen after her husband is taken and her kingdom was destroyed, why just the men

Duncan overcomes trauma by crying

All the men are faliures and it's only through embracing femininity are they allowed to be men again which is my whole point

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula Crying is a moment of weakness and accomplishes nothing, it's only appropriate to cry after serious traumatic events like the death of a loved one or your life being totally destroyed

but after you cry you still have to fix whatever problem you are in and that is masculinity

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula he gets over PTSD after one therapy session which actually minimises the seriousness of PTSD as being something you just need to cry over

And he is cowardly because he preaches that "muscles" win the day and yet when adam almost died he refused to act

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula the movie is not the cartoon, the movie states that without female virtues and authority, adam is completley useless, The sourceress gives him power, Teela urges him into action and his mother rules eternia

Randor, Duncan both male role models are shown to be utter failures

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula they may have been made fun of at the beginning but the movie totally agrees with them as he uses those skills from HR to save the day

If the movie was geninue pro masculinty it would actually portray HR as a negative for hindering Adam's growth and feminizing the future king

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula his "hiatus" was 15 years, he cowardly hid from trap jaw even though he almost killed adam which is repeating his failure all over again
he neglected his daughter who is more of a man than he is as she never gave up or surrendered to vices, his redemption is because of HR therapy

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula contrast He-man to Steve rogers, Steve rogers has inner strength to stand up to men physically bigger than him

Courage to sacrfice his life to save the men in his squad

Loyalty to bucky who has gone evil and yet he still tires to save him

these are real masculine traits

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula you're right it's a new approach to a new man, a modern man who is weak, in touch with his feelings, subjected to female authority (the sorceress) and is constantly mocked, belittled and friend zoned throughout the movie

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula the movie never states that adam has inner strength which come from willpower, the need to defend the weak. or bravery, adam only aquires physical strength when he embraces feminine virtues gifted to him by a woman

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula no the HR scenes are pivotal because the feminine environment he's brought up in gives Adam skills which he uses later on in the movie
he organises an escape,rally's the men, helps duncan overcome his trauma and accesses the true power of the sword via empathy

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula the joke is that his dad will turn around and he doesn't because randor is a toxic dad, which he later apologies to adam for, as he didn't know how much he hurt him. framing Randor as being in the wrong

unapologetic warrior? He literally apologies to Teela for being a bad dad

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula when duncan says a man fights to protect in the context of the scene duncan is a drunk loser who hid away from trap jaw and neglects teela

it's only after his Thearpy session with Adam where he explores his feelings and cries does he find the courage to confront his faliures

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula the problem is that his power and his ability to commit violence don't come from strength they come from feminine traits

When the sourceress talks about Adam's real power, unlike the other champions who used strength adam's true power is empathy and humanity (female coded)

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula i never said masculinty was a void, i stated that feminintiy is not masculinty, the film never explores concepts like, Honor, Courage, Generosity, Guile, Justice, Faith, Nobility, Responsiblity

For fuck's sake Adam is a king and yet no one expects him to behave like one

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula No he apologises because he realised that while his intentions where to protect adam,
being a toxic male was ultimately a bad thing, which is why he admits to adam that over the years he realises that he was wrong and adam should be fine with who he is

[Reaper @RealReaper27]

@AntonyArisOsula "you're perfect the way you are" is pure feminine coded messaging

Adam's time in HR is pivotal because he uses "communication skills" to rally the men & organise an escape

the sorceress points out that every other champion's power was strength, adam's real power is Empathy
