It is Netflix, so there is no way they would allow the spotlight to be on a straight white man. Since it does look like he will be portrayed as white it means he either really likes roosters or a woman will emasculate him all the time while showing how incompetent he is.
Hijacking top comment to say: I hope you guys have cancelled your Netflix subscriptions there hasn't been anything worth watching on it in over a year.
Back when they announced Kevin Smith was going to be doing a He-Man reboot for Netflix, I was mildly interested. The original show was a huge part of my childhood, and I felt that Smith might be able to do it justice. He even noted that the characters wouldn't be changed, it would just be updated.
I should have realized long before we saw the first trailers that he was full of shit. Dude bent the show and made it all about a butch Teela, with He-Man and the rest of the male cast taking a backseat to everything. Even the most recent trailer is garbage, because it makes it look like there's going to be some epic battles between the forces of good and evil.
As a forty-something dude, I am part of the target audience for this show. It's nostalgia bait, and it's the kind of thing I should be watching with kids/grandkids. Instead, this is exactly the kind of fucking with the past by rewriting it in the present that will keep me from going anywhere near it. There's times I wonder why I keep paying for a monthly Netflix subscription, when they keep churning out woke trash.

I get he has geek cred, but I'm not really sure why he's held in the esteem that he is. I enjoyed his early stuff, but I think everything after Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back has been varying degrees of boring and/or insufferable.

There's a reason why I said "mildly interested", because there was an outside chance he might do it right based on what he initially said. Obviously he was lying through his teeth.
Back in the day, he was "one of us". Dude had geek cred in spades, on top of being an indie movie darling. He was a comic book fanboy extraordinaire. J&SBSB was the zenith of his career, and he was still riding high on that into the 2000s.
That's when he started sniffing his own farts and got all pretentious with his vanity projects. He bought into his own fame and started hobnobbing with Hollywood elites. He still paid lip service to his fandoms, but the exterior was cracking. When he had his heart attack, he went full-vegan, full-woke, and fully annoying.
Much like you, I can't see why people still watch his movies. Everything he has done since 2001 has gone down in quality - I mostly wrote him off after Clerks II was a hot mess. When I heard they'd tapped him to do the He-Man revival I had a "maybe this won't be so bad" moment, but I guess I got my hopes up. What bugs me even more about it is the "bullshot"-tier promos they're releasing. We already know that it's going to be woke trash. High-quality trash (It looks a hell of a lot better than the She-Ra revamp), but woke garbage nonetheless.
Conan what is best in life ? To see white males crushed, microaggressed before they/them, and to hear with my privileged hearing appendages the lamentations of their evil republican traitor front hole owning governmentally sanctioned marriage xer.
It's probably just a rumor, while there WILL be woke stuff in it (cause it's Netflix on 2021) it will be more inline with Invincible, so probably a member of the supporting cast will be absurdly woke and/or race swaped.
Ah the Witcher approach. Early release to tease some info and see how badly the backlash would be then actually implement something not as bad which was the plan all along.
Hard to say really, it's a bit different with animated shows since they take so long to make (about 2-3 years), so you can't really make sweeping changes (you can change the dialogue, but not much else)
Possibly, Invincible doesn't really look that different at all from his earlier comic appearances [since the artists changed over the 144 issues and some were... crap] so even changing his mother to asian wouldn't mean much difference. Rex and Rudy however is a very noticeable one. Oh and also comic wise they're redheads again ?
See? I just took a wild guess and I was right lol. Haven't been keeping up with news about this show at all. She will probably be near perfect, a love interest and more "masculine" than he-man. But aside from that? I doubt they will shit too much on him, they want to sell toys after all.
Yeah I am going to wait and see. The trailer looked alright but yeah... I could see netflix putting a lot of junk in there that wouldn't be in the trailer.
No, it won't. Kevin Smith already revealed some time ago during a convention that it would focus on Teela instead of He-Man, and it's more about her adventures than his. He later made a post (or someone did) after some backlash and clarified that it was still going to be about He-Man, but the cat was already out of the bag because he was on camera reading the description. And the description clearly sounded like He-Man would be a secondary character in his own story next to Teela.

They couldn't just do Bravestarr instead, no-ooo-ooo.
Prince Adam will still disappear when there is danger, but He-Man won't show up.

Yeah. I resubbed to check out Castlevania S3, and they graphically pounded Alucard in the ass, so yeah... my bad.
Well, then, it's not a "He-Man" series, and shouldn't be marketed as such.
She-man.
Shit-show
They-womxn
Xir-wyz. Probably only a few steps away from Xerxes at this point for South Park jokes.
You mean that dude from 300? What a fag.
Lol. Worthy of an animated intro.
And the… shit, we can’t say ‘masters’ anymore because slavery… hmm…
They-Womxn and the Politburo of the Universe!
My favorite part will be when Xir-They shouts "We have the pride!!!!!!" and giant rainbows shoot from the very long phallus that gets unsheathed.
Men don't get to have heroes
Biggest example of this for me was Terminator Dark Fate
Funny... it was originally called "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe".
Good luck with that shit.

Fair enough. When I heard Kevin Smith and Netflix, I figured Adam would be a peter puffer. Sad what both have become.
So...They Fury Roaded He-Man. Can't wait for the E;R vid.
...Seriously, why isn't this a thing? It definitely should be a thing.
I'll judge it when I pirate it.
Trailer didn't look pozzed, but bait and switches are all too common.
sure, not like anyone should pay for netflix crap
It is Netflix. I can only imagine how they will ruin Conan.
Conan what is best in life ? To see white males crushed, microaggressed before they/them, and to hear with my privileged hearing appendages the lamentations of their evil republican traitor front hole owning governmentally sanctioned marriage xer.
Worth noting that their source has deleted the information in their article...

Well, isn't one of the female characters black now?

And what do you know... yes it is the red head too I think I heard that got race swapped xD
I mean this is downright more than a coincidence at this point....
It's the red haired one, isn't it?
Yeah I am going to wait and see. The trailer looked alright but yeah... I could see netflix putting a lot of junk in there that wouldn't be in the trailer.
It may end up ok who knows.

Everything from my childhood is ruined dammit! Next it will be G.I. Jane!!
