The pictures of the new Masters of the Universe, on Twitter, look fantastic.
I think the new series will be pretty good.
I've realized that it is the nature of these things that the style and content will change, when making something of a previous invention, but have to add something new for it to be slightly different, and effective as a storytelling device.
Many things might not make sense, or is of what the viewer would prefer, but it could still be solid on it's own, and have an adventure move forward.
There is never a way to have all the original people on board, so something new will always be different, and it just depends on if the viewer likes what directions they take the series.
Even in fan-fiction, I don't think anyone could come up with something exactly like the original cartoon series, there will always be variations of this and that, and personal taste and viewpoint of the creator, in that not everyone sees the same thing when they watch something, t is all received differently, and from different ages, and from different backgrounds, and from standpoints of what the viewer is used to, what they have to compare it with, their interpretations, and how the franchise effects their senses.
Speed Racer is one cartoon that might not be for children today, in this decade.
Robotech perhaps had more of an advanced serious feel that some of the shows mentioned.
I guess He-Man could have went a lot darker, looking at one of the prototype toys in The Toys That Made Us, it seems to me that their them became less dark and way more silly, as soon as they gave the action figures bent legs to ride the animals and vehicles.
And the accessories themselves appeared more light hearted, and perhaps symbolic, when they gave different equipment to different characters.
It's not like the gave someone a blood soaked battle axe, and He-Man's sword is even more of Fantasy instead of a practical blade, or a historical one, the gear never really could hurt the other characters, there was no threat to them, and the vehicles looked very playful and inventive, rather than scary and threatening.
