    Saw it last night. Fun for what it was. They knew they were making a camp-filled action comedy. There was some needless failed attempts to be serious about 3/4 of the way in when He-Man’s lack of control over his powers ends up getting his (in this version) asshole of a father killed and they try to redeem his father through his dying words, but otherwise it leaned into the camp.

    It’s not winning any awards, but it was fun, and seeing the cheap and weird toy designs given a Guardians of the Galaxy style makeover was interesting.
