Nobody liked it except very young kids. Every one over the age of 4 thought this show was the gayest shit. The fact people like it is because those 4 year olds grew up in nostalgia driven man children

They are drawn well but animated horribly.

It had a cool world and great comedy. There really wasn't that much action, it was just pretty damn entertaining in its own right.

Because it makes my ass feel dizzy

80s kid here
I liked it because I liked the toys. They were fun and characters were great.
You say the cartoon existed to sell the toys? Well for me, the toys sold me on the cartoon. I wouldn't have watched it if the toys weren't cool
(to prove the point, I never watched Thundercats because those toys didn't interest me as much my He-Man figures.)

50% great character design for the cast of heroes and villains
50% Skeletor fucking rules

>New Adventures of He-Man
>The series that nobody likes, nobody ever talks about, and most likely nobody has bothered watching it
>Skeletor is STILL based as fuck

Honestly, even in that show, he is a treat to watch. Has there ever been a character so consistently awesome in all interpretations of a series?
I defy anyone to point out a crappy Skeletor to me. There isn't one. He is universally great.

He's even the only good thing in the movie

This. I just thought everything and everyone looked cool as fuck.

Also, I'm pretty sure no cartoon aimed at the same demographic is much better. Modern or otherwise.

Because He-Man is hunky as fuck and I want to molest and sex up that big beefcake body.

Its a feels good cartoon and Skeletor is based
I always unironically like the toyetic shit more now since its unique and creative despite being corporate and impractical

Because it was a fun show with a colourful setting and the characters had charm and personality. Wouls you have liked it if He-Man was a fat gay kid who sang about his feelings and Skeletor was a bumbling Ice King anti-villain who made pop culture references?

Speaking of those shows, those two shows tick every single one of the OP's points.

Unironically great writing and characters.

LLEGO EL BIGOTEEEEEEEEE

They were some good fucking toys. No one gives a shit about the show.

The original had the intro that nobody cared about.

A donde vamos He-Man?
A un lugar ma-ra-vi-lloso! Wooooo!

It's probably good for little kids. It was not great as an adult except for some nostalgia.

But actually the setting is pretty cool, so there was a lot of loss potential in the Filmation series.
I've heard the minicomics are good tho

my african american

Toys and lore, same reason people liked Transformers. It just needs the right people to take care of it.

I liked the comics

It's almost saying that having a decade of Scooby Doo clones that came before He-Man on any better.

>practical animation that proves that less is more
>surprisingly deep characters with relatable personalities
>charming dialogue that's never insincere with its message

I mean not to defend a toy commercial but modern cartoons have the first 5 issues you listed AND they look like shit that could've been drawn by a ten-year-old

There, you already answered it. Duh.

All true. It's also beautiful meme material, and I hope the netflix series stays faithful to the contemporary view of He-man.

I didnt like it when I was a kid.
I liked Conan

Fucking weaponized ball-in-a-cup.

and yet with all that, it's still more memorably and left more of an impact on people than you'll ever do.

He-Man is what I wish level 20 fighters were like.

Alan Oppenheimer brought so much personality to Skeletor.

The only impact it's left is an internet clip of him going "HEY HEY HEYYY" with rainbow colors behind him so people associate him with homosexuality.
You had a gritty reboot about a decade ago and nobody watched it. Same with Thundercats.

It was super gay, I mean gay gay not lame gay, and campy as fuck. Campy and homosexual gay. Like the Village People. People loved that in the 1970s-1980s. They loved campy homos.
Other people who liked it were kids. 3 year olds who liked Dino-Riders and Glo-Friends and Care Bears and other shit that were just blatantly fucking toy commercials. Why? Because they were fucking toddlers, they loved toys and shitty candy and would play with a cardboard box for months. Nickelodeon sold them actual slime goop booger shit and it was incredibly popular. Mud and dog poop are also incredibly popular for toddlers. Kids like anything. Esp really little kids.

I liked the toys but didn’t care as much for the cartoon. I liked the cartoon GI Joe more than I liked the toys, so I watched it but didn’t have as many toys, as I did if He-Man, which I didn’t watch as much as GI Joe. I was a weird kid.

nearly 2 decades ago actually.
And people watched it and liked it. It got solid ratings, it died because they toy's didnt sell.

From what I've heard Filmation was the gayest animation studio this side of the country.
It was practically a safe-space for homosexuals in the 80's.

Ahhhh, early discoveries of bdsm. I remember a coloring book where Evil-Lyn, or whatever her name was, had Teela chained up in a dungeon, and I suddenly felt funny.

I had the Sorceress figure but could never find a Teela and the one time I saw an Evil-Lyn, my mom said no to getting it.

He-Man is one of the BEST CARTOON EVER

until U realize how gay He-Man is when he not draw his sward.

This is a lot better than I remember.

Fuck your super-deformed, angles everywhere, block-coloured monstrosities.

I've watched a He-Man episode before and it was shit. It was everything a parent could ever want in a cartoon: sterile animation, bland writing, character designs so anatomically correct that they come off as horribly milquetoast, and patronizing lessons.
I'm glad that cartoons like Dexter's Laboratory, Rocko's Modern Life, Grim and Evil (and it's spinoffs), and Kids Next Door exist.

Some parent's angry because the 90s and early-mid 2000s dared to challenge the standards set by the 80s. Face it, the 80s were just another extension of the 70s, absolute trash.
But go ahead, try to tell me what Claire should look like.

But it's funny because it's slow (as well as weird).

It wasis funny and epic, it had a relationship with us. Like She-Ra.
While the new She-Ra just goes in your face about how you should love her and nothing else.
That show had a special place in our heart, it was the characters, the art style, and trust me that makes you forget about the animatiom.
I mean, we made it once! He-Man was beating Disney and Hannah Barbera! We did it guys!
He-Man and She-Ra will always lives in our hearts knowing they did it! They gave hope to little studios and to techno-fantasy lovers! Something the fake fans like OP and the new She-Ra fans will never understand

which is still more impact than you'll leave on a single person. Except the disappointment of your parents, maybe.

>It's just a glorified ad to sell toys
And that's all it needed to be. Many of the most beloved shows made were nothing but that.
Why does it bother you? Why must you suffer?

what did they rob a bank and get some extra animation budget for this episode?

found it

they sacrificed having good animation all around for having a few really good moments.

Neat, but also sad.
It seems more like one storyboard artist would have liked the show to look a lot better than it usually did

go away basedboy

How are Avatar, Samurai Jack, Courage, Venture Bros, Looney Tunes, and Invader Zim toy commercials?

To be fair, this was the 80s.

>Looney Tunes
Best you mentioned, and moves merchandise by the truckloads.

Looney Tunes was never meant to sell toys. In fact, a lot of cartoons were never supposed to sell toys. It wasn't until the late 50s-60s when sponsors began to back TV animation that cartoons began to be more toy driven, and it was less subtle by the 80s.

Attached: Butterbean.png (351x273, 134K)

Well yeah, the first weren't even meant for tv. They still moved merchandise like toys and comics.
Like you said, the 80s were less subtle about it and that's probably why there were so many iconic cartoons. Every other cartoon brought up in was specifically made for a cartoon channel that had to be sold for kids.
What, you think the gay music video parodies would even exist if no one cared enough about He-Man?

Well, that was the case....in the 80s.
In the 90s, a whole ton of subversive cartoons came out that completely reshaped the cartoon industry. Rugrats, Dexter, Powerpuff Girls, you name it. And that additude continued into the early 2000s, with Billy and Mandy, Invader Zim, Teenage Robot, and of course, the old Spongebob.
There were still toy commercials, but they became less and less common until Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh came along.

> Rugrats, Dexter, Powerpuff Girls
All made to promote CN and sell cable subscriptions.

> Rugrats, Dexter, Powerpuff Girls
>All made to promote CN and sell cable subscriptions
Except that they originated as ideas brewing in their respective creator's heads, like nearly all cartoons during the 90s and 00s.
In fact, the popularity that led to merchandising was more of a happy accident than like, say, He Man or Transformers, where it was planned from the start.
Also, Rugrats aired on Nick, not CN.

Humans are not immune to classical conditioning

Because it was aimed towards kids not adults

But that's no excuse for a shitty show. Kids are smarter than you think.

CON UNA CONDICIÓN FORASTERO...¡QUE ME AGARRES LOQUITA!!

>until Pokemon
Pokémon fever started in the late 90s.

And each one was tailor-made and fixed by executives and focus-groups until it was ready to lure in a target demographic.

The fact that Mattel is agreeing to let the Castlevana boys do justice with a mini series excites me ...GREATLY

I beg your pardon?

Mattel sign up the animation Co. to make a He-Man mini series.
The He-Ra blokes are non too pleased.

it was cool for its time,and eternia felt like a cool place to explore

>eternia felt like a cool place to explore
Still is. Even though Eternia and Etheria have been mostly mapped out, there are plenty of other worlds that have been left largely unexplored (Primus, Nordor, Horde World, Trolla pre-invasion, etc.).
