She-Ra

Why make another She-Ra cartoon? Isn't just a companion piece to He-Man, which had a rather notoriously difficult time trying to get revived as a franchise?

Literally because they can.
With Netflix literally paying them to make shows, they can afford to just go ahead and dig into their classics library, give them a 52-78 episode show just to see if anything sticks.

I think there making it cause action toys for girls are really in right now.

She-Ra's backstory is kinda cool, in that she's basically a cross of Terra and Celes.

The premise is fun enough if you make it, well, not a shitty 80s cartoon.
Might be very different when it comes out.

>Executive produced by Noelle Stevenson (Lumberjanes

Hope and optimism: gone

It's pandering to waifufags.

Wonder Woman hype

>covered legs

Is Lumberjanes that bad?
I've only seen Sup Forums complain about it and Del Toro loves it

I kinda like the design. Reminds me of Phantasy Star.

Also, Lumberjanes a mediocre incarnation of that "woooaaah, so quirky!" style of comic that seems to be passing. It didn't even have the strength to be good at it.

Holy shit, a Wizards show?

He-Man had a reboot in 2002.

My guess is they will set up a He-Man show during the series but they’ll try She-Ra since she’s lesser know and could be a bit malleable and have some free range.

I hope it’s good and then we get a new He-Man show and we get more Skeletor.

IIRC the IPs are now somewhat split due to rights fuckery

DC's comics used both characters

I do hope that She-Ra will be visually very distinct from Adora, just like they made Adam a scrawny guy whom you would never mistake for the extremely buff He-Man in the 2002 show.

would be cool. seeing as Ralph has been wanting to do a sequel for decades now.

doubtful

Probably closer to a harry potter clone

I hope they bring back Flint the Time Detective

Seems like a more interesting character then He-Man. He-Man wouldn't work these days, too corny. But sexy warrior chicks are always cool.

Surprised noone said anything like this but Grrrrl Power. Anything to promote feminism will be done

Nah, He-Man can still work even nowadays. Just ramp up the techno-barbarism even more than in the 2002 series, so that He-Man is the Conan of Eternia.

It's a spin-off from Trollhunters.

Oh thats right, I forgot they had two spinoffs planned

Maybe he’ll come up with a better name by then

While magical girls are on live support on Japan, only keeping afloat by pervs and nostalgic housewives, the genre is running strong on the west. Also this If DC refuse to leave the Batcock even for one second, someone else can do a Wonder Woman show with another name

I enjoyed Lumberjanes from the start, though I feel like it took them way too fucking long for a decent artist to maintain a presence in the series. I've always enjoyed the writing/story itself but I can't defend some of the art/artists they've used.

It's not bad, it's just incredibly unimaginatively generic. Kind of like how everyone thinks of Shen when someone says "Relatable Facebook Webcomics" Lumberjanes is what everyone thinks about when you mention "Relatable Quirky 20 Something Female Webcomic". It might be a published comic, but it just feels like a webcomic if that makes any sense. It just has that very casual and amateurish writing with that "punchline of the week" pacing and vibe to it.

It's not a comic that should be hated and anyone who does is wasting their brain cells. It's a comic that should be acknowledged once and then never acknowledged again beyond a quick mention that "Yes, Lumberjanes is in fact a comic".

Answered your own question, OP. He-Man is a joke in the public consciousness. She-Ra is obscure enough to maybe still be successful.

I'm waiting for multiple NOT MUH SHE-RA threads as if anyone here ever gave a shit about her

My dick demands it, for one

Oh, fuck, I love She-Ra

Also, they already made a new He-Man already, so it's a totally logical decision.

I bet Madame Razz will be turned into a sassy black woman.

That was 16 years ago, you know

This is honestly disgusting, God i wish DreamWorks would just go under at this point

Oh, where's your sense of fun.

It didn't feel like 16 years.

>Home

I've only ever seen the 2002 He-Man, but I remember a couple years back every time the old series was mentioned it basically turned into a thread talking about how much everyone liked She-Ra better and hid it as a kid because they were embarrassed to like a girl show. Of course I expect everyone to act like that never happened now.

I hope it inspires some good porn.

Are there even going to have toys for the reboot ?

I remember those threads. It's ironic, kids thought they'd be called "sissies" for liking the show with a beautiful, buxom woman instead of the show about buff shirtless dudes.

She-Ra wasn't a "side-piece" to He-Man, it literally replaced that show as the advertisement for the MoTU toyline. If you were a fan, your only source of new adventures for Skeletor or He-Man became the She-Ra show. It also had more actual effort put into it, if only by a hair. Larry DiTillio who went on to co-write Beast Wars wrote for it, and Adora's onus of "badass warrior who used to work for the villains before their sense of honor made them switch sides" was basically recycled for Dinobot, albeit with more depth because of the circumstances.

The 80s show doesn't really do much with its premise, Adora isn't feared or hated by the locals despite oppressing them for years, but that's exactly why I think it SHOULD have a reboot. MoTU 2k3 ended just when it was about to get into the Etheria stuff, the comics DC put out, like so much else in the nu52, weren't well received for being too OW THE EDGE, but a Netflix-original show is probably the best. He-Man, as you said, doesn't resonate with people since the 80s. "Empowered hero(ine) finding their agency and fighting to atone for their past" is a great hook no matter the decade or MC's gender.

Look, when you've got a ticket to make whatever, you give every movie you make its own cartoon.

Guy in his 30s here. Hetero. I have no problem with this and it seems like a great idea to finally happen. He-Man basically WAS my childhood favorite cartoon, and everything else was a distant second. In Current Year it seems like a She-Ra revival would be dubious but it's probably about time and she has interesting lore and--

Fuck it. This will be cancer.
Who the fuck decides to put such obviously mediocre talent on things?
>Durr this comic is completely generic female-lead IP, does nothing in sales, is only liked by a slim margin of middle-aged weirdos.
>Sure lets give this person control over an '80s property tied to a potential billion-plus dollar franchise (cf. '80s MOTU action figure sales).

They saw Voltron was successful and wanted more of those nostalgia/fandom bux.

The first part is really good and totally self-contained but after that it never gets as good again and the first arc that follows it is filler garbage

Its her turn.

and no one said whats the point because its just a companion piece to She-Ra they just did it

I just hope it will be as GOAT as the 2002 He-man series

She-Ra is BETTER than He-man. better script, better animation, better drama.
The stuff Said couldn't have happened that far back? Are we full of shitposting board immigrants now?

Its to sell toys to girls who like star wars and wonder woman.Company's want that female money.

I wonder if they will keep her former villain backstory and if they will add the whole redemption element to it. Only the DC Motu comic bothered with that and it would be a good thing for kids to see that even bad people can change for the better.

I also wonder if they will even have the Horde in this since those characters were originally He-Man characters. Hopefully they will be in the cartoon and it's not She-Ra against just Scorpia, Catra, and other monster girls.

I only saw it in the crossover with Gotham academy and really didn't like it. They felt annoying and detrimental to both the art and the plot.

Boys?
Psssh Boys are over, it's all about the girls now. Only girls get to be cool, boys...

....well they get to be Steven

Will He-Man show up and give her her sword like in the cartoon? Will it be like CW Supergirl where she tells everybody her origin in the intro, mentions He-Man, and the show starts while she's already been She-Ra for months?

The dude who created Monster High has been pushing for it super hard.

This. In fact I remember seeing an internet rumor somewhere that this is what He-Man was originally supposed to be, but that was probably just internet bullshit

The DC comoc eas edgy when Giffen was writing it, he had some good plots but some of his characters were unlikable (Teela for example) I liked what Dan Abnett and Rob David did when they got onto the comic.

He-Man fans are so hard to please, like Adam having armor for awhile triggered them and Adora having shoulder length hair and looking different than She-Ra also bothered them.

I dunno I was into MOTU as a kid quite a bit, had a ton of He Man toys including that big robotic horse, and I had a She-Ra fig... i was like 6 at the time and i thought she was badass and i liked her blond hair, plus she rode a pegasus, thats awesome.

There were several bump limit MOTU threads a couple months ago.

youtube.com/watch?v=dRaMr2vVx4Q

So they banged right?

>but they're related

Fuck you only technically

She-Ra has Hordak as the bad guy.

Actually what bothered me was that the first 'reboot' He-Man/DC series was a misleading waste of potential that didn't have He-Man for 5 issues, muddled the grasp continuity it was using, and was mostly Teela and Adam arguing while walking from one instance to another.

The series that introduced Adora was ...ehhh. It felt like no matter what, it was tried to prevent anything interesting or action packed from happening and was a massive try-hard grimdark situation with only a few interesting or compelling moments (Shadow Weaver was shockingly done really well, but you also have Teela casually stripping in front of her dad, the king and Adam. I know Eternians don't traditionally wearing that much to begin with but WTF...)

Things picked up after the JLU crossover but I never really got into the later stuff or felt as much investment as the older stuff.

They've already rebooted He-Man twice, once as an updated version of the original cartoon series and now once more with a more 'serious tone. I don't want to be all "Not Muh" about a serious attempt at He-Man, but I've always felt like... I dunno, if I wanted a dark or serious barbarian comic, I'd go read Conan. Admittedly this is saying I'd rather it be reading Sci-Fantasy/Sword and Sorcery Shazam instead of Techno Conan but there you have it.

This is kind of the problem with MotU; it would be VERY hard to meet both the camp and a serious fantasy part ways and make something everybody's happy with.

I have a friend pitching a show to Netflix right now and it might get picked up. Why aren't you faggots getting together and pitching something? I know there are drawfags on here and i have seen you fucks get together and come up with shit before Sup Forums and Sup Forums took over.

Seems like Netflix will greenlight just about anything original.

they really should do a show for Megamind, maybe one for El Dorado as well

Why most of the dreamworks shows are pretty good

I feel like the rebooted He-Man cartoon had the perfect tone, it was more serious than the original cartoon but not so dark that it went into edgy territory. It also added some interesting stuff to the lore like the Faceless One being Evil-Lyn's dad.

All that stuff you mentioned not liking was all Giffen and yeah I agree it wasn't that great. I did like the idea of Despara tho because Adora always stuck out as a sore thumb among the Horde and it would make sense that she would be as ruthless and mean looking as them.

Although I feel like she was too butch, pic related would be better especially since Catra and Scorpia are allowed to be feminine.

So is she gonna be a lesbian now?

Because most people have no idea how to pitch to Netflix. I could get a lot of the resources to put together a pitch very easily. No idea how to get to that last step of pitching to Netflix or getting into a management agency that could a meeting with Netflix.

He was going to be a He-Man villain but because He-Man's show was cancelled and She-Ra was on the way and they needed to promote the Horde toyline they made him her villain.

It ended up making She-Ra more interesting in the end, it gave her a good origin and it makes for an interesting contrast to all the glittery and girly stuff in Etheria.

Before that if you look at her older comics it was just Catra and Entrapta just causing mischief and She-Ra stopping them which was pretty boring. Having Hordak and the Horde gave us the Great Rebellion and gave her She-Ra a good motivation to fight her villains.

>It's ironic, kids thought they'd be called "sissies" for liking the show with a beautiful, buxom woman

You described the reason I watched it though, even as a kid watching a action heroine was a guilty pleasure for me, this paid off once puberty kicked in.

See, even if the new She-Ra cartoon doesn't look anything like the old one, or if He-Man doesn't show up, I wanna see them actually DO stuff with the plot threads the original series had.

>Adora was a bad-ass enforcer for Hordak until she saw the light. Has to legitimately convince the rebels slowly that she's legitimately on their side.

>She also has to distance herself from who she used to be. Presumably she's not a child-killing psychopath as depicted in the DC comic (which is frankly, a bit *too* unpleasant and sort of hard to spin doctor) but if she was evil at first, she's gotta live with that shit on her conscience.

>Adora actually has a really good reason not to tell anybody she's She-ra: if they don't trust her (much) as Adora, the reveal would undermine any faith the rebels have in She-Ra being on their side and she could be kicked out or worse under suspicion of being a plant by the Horde.

>Alternatively, if Adora tells them who she is, the Rebellion could get too overconfident knowing she's their ace in the hole and make a tactical mistake that fucks them up (admittedly this makes more sense in the kid-friendly original and doesn't factor in all the lives risked because Adora's keeping it a secret because it'd break the tone. But the first reason still makes legit sense to me.)

> The Horde flunkies basically grew up or spent years working with Adora and suddenly she switches sides? That's gotta be a pisser, especially if Catra has any sort of actual personality this time around opposed to having an annoying voice and panther powers, which could lead to interesting conflicts and drama. Maybe Adora tries to win over some of them in the new show, and it doesn't always (if at all) work.

Isn't Shadow-Weaver basically Adora's mom as well?

Because when you get right down to it, She-Ra has the better premise

Shadow Weaver was more of a Granny Goodness than a mother figure

of these only Croods, Dragons, Trolls, and Captain Underpants deserve it.

Shera I hope does well and stays campy, then maybe they could green light Heman and Jem. Jem deserves a new cartoon with 80s feeling music and style. Not that tumblr loving comic of shit.

Megamind would be wonderful for a series. Rise of the Guardians as well. Could actually give more to the characters.

>Wizards

Please tell me that's what I think it is.

>crossover with Gotham academy
What the fuck? I accuse Dark Horse of some how instigating this bizarre crossover as usual, but I guess DC has actually had some truly weird crossovers under their belt.

So which character will have hairy legs and an undercut?

Kinda radical to go with no panties and an open skirt, but I can see how that would draw in an audience.

Please just give me sexy Frosta.

Only in the DC Comics, she even betrays Hordak for Adora and gets killed because of it.

I hope Hordak Dad drama plays a chunky role in it.

...

DAS BREDDY GUD!

>Liking a trucker's smoker voice
>Forgetting about Castaspella

Whoops did not mean to link but have some Frostra, I kind of wished He-Man would've ended up with her instead of Teela.

Weird I attached the image but it didn't upload.

I guess that look can work with a good artist, hopefully the finished product looks better but I am not hilding my breath.

She would've been totally ok with it.

>"badass warrior who used to work for the villains before their sense of honor made them switch sides" was basically recycled for Dinobot

Now I'm imagining her reciting long Shakespearian soliloquies and monologues.

> Adora isn't feared or hated by the locals despite oppressing them for years
Wasn't there a story in the show where She-Ra meets one of her former commanders and he was basically living in exile because no one would have him around?

One thing I liked about the redemption art was this totally out-of-place judeo Christian element of Light-Hope that was totally at odds with the techno-magi-pagan setting.

That would be pretty interesting, especially during the She-Ra vs Hordak scenes. It would also make defeating the Horde a bit bittersweet.

Don't think Noelle would go that route, but yeah I would like to see a story where both Hordak and Adora have some conflict over it.

IIRC Catra was jealous of Adora's position, so he'd probably be glad that bitch is out the way so she can sit on Hordak's dick now.

If they got an 80s anime look, I'd be down for this art style.

>hordak and she-ra fighting
>hordak easily wiping the floor with her
>"Fool! I trained you wrong, as a joke!"

Fun fact: Adam was 16 during the cartoon, making Adora 16 as well.

Meaning she was all-but a child-soldier.

You are now imagining her relationship with Hordak as that between Raiden and Solidus.

> a Boss Baby series

I really hope they play up everyone's consciousness of Adora's past working under Hordak. Every new resistance guy they meet should be all "why did you guys bring the stormtrooper?"

I am so excited for this!

That looks really cool, I'd dig that art style.
