He-Man and the Masters of my Heart
Based on today’s bitter blow that He-Man has turned back into the pick vest-wearing Prince Adam over in the minds of the executives of Warner Bros., I thought I’d trot out this fun fan-made trailer of what a Masters of the Universe movie could look like. I stand by my earlier claim that the Hollywood system would inevitably screw up a new He-Man film exactly like the screwed up the first one (Gwildor, anyone?), but if Masters of the Universe taught me one thing, is that it’s okay to dream. And if that dream is about a heavily muscular, bearded man named Fisto, so much the better.
