I was a bit too old for He-Man when it came out, so never really watched it, but I'm totally looking forward to this. Looks like brainless fun, can't wait.

I hoped they were saving the Orco reveal for the final trailer, but it looks like he may not be here.

Ah, nostalgia.
I’ll...hang on a tick! It's déjà vu all over again.

If you were too old before but aren't too old now...Benjamin Button, I presume.

Hey Moonshark, you might wanna double check that for us.
As for the rest, I'm getting more excited for this and less excited for The Odyssey.

Enjoyed the cartoon and rewatched the 80s movie way more than any sane person should, but I have no particular fondness for the character and this isn't even trying for anything other than a nostalgia play. Plus at some point we stopped trying to make CGI look convincing, so most of this trailer looks terrible.

Those were my thoughts as well. CGI feces fest with nothing making me feel like I must see this. In fact it really makes me want to watch the 80's movie again for the camp.
I see also that the good idea fairies have changed the Maltese Cross on He Mans chest to ....I don't know what. I guess they didn't want stupid audiences to complain about the 'iron cross' on He Mans chest.

Mmm, no thanks! Looks like Prince Adam entering the Feigeverse, with all of the soulless, try-hard "snark" that makes such movies so tiring to watch after awhile.
I at least appreciated that the Kevin Smith animated He-Man sequel had the balls to take itself seriously.

We are like 1 year away from not needing actors anymore and having movies created on demand.
Every scene in that trailer appeared to have cgi.
No need for sets or even plots anymore. All just a cgi light show.

The he-man fanfare of the animated series ruled the VHS (two episodes per rental). The 80s cartoons music did not have any business being so iconic.

I'm sad that they don't believe in the source material enough and have to put the whole living on earth thing (yes, I remember his Mother is human). I still hope it's great fun, but films like this need to go all in and not be embarrassed at what they are.

The severe budget limitations of the '87 film made for a very weird and entertaining movie, in hindsight (though it disappointed a legion of young kids). If it was competent for the time I think it'd probably be forgotten, but just like the Mario movie, the craziness of it endures.
This trailer for me looks borderline AI-generated, like a fanmade trailer. He literally sits there and just namedrops his allies. They really want you to know they aren't discarding the source material like last time.

End credits maybe.
They have to address the fact that Adam's twin sister is out there somewhere with the rest of the other characters.

I can't really say I was a fan of He-man. I watched it, but mostly because there wasn't much else to watch in that time slot. It gave me strong "how the fuck can't you idiots tell Adam is He-man?" vibes like I got with Superman, only more-so since Superman didn't have a giant green talking tiger as a pet to stand in for an all terrain vehicle. And it was campy enough to be mildly entertaining.
This movie apparently does have one thing that fucked-up 80's live-action movie adaptation didn't have - Adam changing into He-man. That was like a "had to happen 20 times per episode recycling that material endlessly to keep the costs down" thing that, IIRC, wasn't done ONCE in the 80's movie.
Instead we had Teela wondering why the chicken pieces from the cut-rate KFC had sticks in it. Some things are so horrific in movie-making they stick with you. Like PTSD...
I won't be seeing this in the theater, of course, but if it hits Prime, I may take a peek. I DO like camp.

I wish Hollywood would come up with new ideas instead of rehashing old ideas. It seems like these days they have completely run out of new ideas so they just keep remaking old ideas. Let the past be the past, because remakes are never as good as the original IMO. Show some creativity and come up with new stuff, please.

This is going to suck if it spends more than the first 30 minutes on Earth. Hell, 20 minutes feels too long for this.
