I didn’t think I’d be talking about this again so soon. Ordinarily I would just post the trailer as a Daily Video if that. I’ve already done two articles of the two previous trailers.
However, the latest “international” trailer for Amazon MGM’s Masters Of The Universe movie actually fixes a problem with the other two trailers. The first leaned heavy into the comedy, while the second leaned heavy into the action and still didn’t give us some of the things we see in the new trailer. Skeletor shows up more prominent. We see more of He-Man in action. And yet the comedy of the first trailer still makes its way in there.
We’re going to look at all three major trailers thus far and see the evolution of the promotion for this movie, because I find this interesting enough to make into an article on its own. Additionally, He-Man enthusiast Pixel Dan Eardley got to see the first 20 minutes of the movie, so we’ll see his thoughts and then my thoughts on his thoughts. First, though, let’s follow the trailer.

I have some time to do some buffer articles so it’s time to return to the Watchmen. Last time was a series of flashbacks of characters remembering their experiences with The Comedian. This is a guy who almost raped a woman, killed his Vietnamese baby momma (yes, she tried to cut his face–not a flare apparently, though that’s what it looked like to me at the time–but he was going to leave her when the Vietnam War ended), enjoyed the violence, had a strange idea to what the “joke” was about life, and it doesn’t seem like anybody liked him except Rorschach, who only saw his fighting bad guys and ignored what a bad guy he was.
Remember, Alan Moore considers Rorschach the baddie in this series even though he’s not the killer and believes in fighting the criminals. Others take the view that he’s not the one who killed the population of New York with a giant squid monster (or getting Doctor Manhattan to do it in the movie somehow) while Rorschach wants to fight villains. We have already seen that the world is not in the best of shape with the heroes in retirement. Unintentionally the world seemed brighter in the early days of the Minutemen. The colors were brighter, the sun seemed to be shining, and while the world got darker and colors more muted as we get closer to the story’s present day, it almost looks worse AFTER the heroes are legally banned.
Also, the story is already suffering the same mistake as The Incredibles in that the heroes gone should be making things easier for the supervillains and yet somehow they all seem to agree to the same law. They’ll kill, steal, and plot to take over the world, but THIS is the law they follow? Admittedly, we don’t see a lot of supervillains, but we have seen one retired villain in the previous issue so we can assume there were more. It doesn’t make sense and thinking about how Brad Bird used a similar law in his movie made me realize this mistake is happening here as well. We’ll have to see if that’s addressed as the next installment begins.
I just came for the free Pip Boy.
