He-Man is what happens in the early 1980s plastic toys markets and when you cross breed the blonde hair of Björn Borg, do Schwarzenegger Conan and then add a bunch of other 'toys' the Masters of the Universe created by Mattel, also She-Ra: Princess of Power, they have been trying to do a movie on it again for a long time and toons with six animated television series
Apparently it had fans and for a while Kevin Smith tried to do something and then was BEGGING He-Man fans to come back? maybe they should have just made a Xbox Sony Playstation thing with the brand, produced some 'punch em' action wizard spell casting video game
Kevin Smith brands himself as an outsider writer his big break Dogma is a 1999 American comedy film written and directed by Kevin Smith; he also co-stars in the film along with an ensemble cast
Clownfish TV is an American YouTube channel that focuses on pop culture, video games, TV, and political commentary, it is thought the social media channel is not one person but the channel is operated by several, names linked are Thomas Pratt and Kambrea Pratt, it was recently reported they are doing video game stuff maybe their own software company.
Mattel is one of the USA's most historic toy companies and most valuable brands, Matell owning other plastic toys like Barbie and Hot Wheels

The show features a female lead alongside He-Man, earning backlash online.
Kevin Smith owes Clownfish TV an apology.

He not only lied repeatedly about the new He-man, he allowed media cronies to attack Clownfish TV to perpetuate said lies.
Did Kevin Smith Lie? Is MOTU: Revelation like the Filmation series? What is this controversy all about?

this one however could do with a remake?
it could have been done in the past decade before all this DEI, Feminism, Open Border, Wakanda, Feminist, pro-islamo political 'Message' got forced into every film
maybe a movie or show

It's odd how this thread went dead before the movie came out. There should have been comments on Total Recall after it was in theaters.
Remaking Total Recall (2012) was a business error. For comparison:
Total Recall (1990) was profitable.
Production Budget: $65,000,000 (worldwide box office is 4.0 times production budget)
Total Recall (2012) lost money.
Production Budget: $125,000,000 (worldwide box office is 1.7 times production budget)

Why did the remake lose money? Could be because it stunk. The critics said the remake stunk compared to the original:
Total Recall (1990) 60 out of 100
Total Recall (2012) 43 out of 100
https://www.metacritic.com/search/total%20recall/
Do you prefer to make your comparison of the two movies?
It is easy to do by downloading for free. Hollywood will be disappointed with you but why should you care that the so-called “artistes” didn’t steal more money from an audience?

There is an extended version of Total Recall 2012 with 12 more minutes of badness. You have been warned.
