Dear 80’s kids who had the nerve to say our (2000’s) shows and cartoons were dumb: this one’s for you! Here’s a taste of your own medicine.
Here’s why I think He Man is a load of garbage:
I just watched the intro to The He Man Show’ (allegedly a popular cartoon in the 80’s) and I’m left wondering one thing…
What prick made this thing???
So there’s this ponce Prince with his pink shirt and awful hair, who just happens to know how to hold up what can at best be described as a giant metal dildo, say some words, and suddenly he gets his magic power of… being butt naked??? Bro, that’s not a power, that’s just stripping naked.
Beyond that, his main enemy is some sort of skeleton thing. Oooh, a skeleton for an enemy!!! How original — not.
I couldn’t even bring myself to even try a single episode, the intro was so shit. I’m sure I’m not having the full picture, but if going off the intro is anything, this Star Wars-wannabe-but-will-never-hold-a-candle-to-shite is undoubtedly the original brain rot.
Having said that, I admit that my point of view may be biased, so I vow to, at some point, watch at least 1 full episode of The He Man Show and revisit this post to consolidate my actual opinion.
You shouldn’t. It is pure nostalgia slop for the olds like me. The cartoons of the 80s were indeed all about selling toys. It was the only way the capitalists could justify paying a bunch of nerds to draw cartoons for kids. The 80s cartoons were hilariously bad explicitly for this reason. I mean, they even had the balls to kill off Optimus Prime in the original Transformers movie. They didn’t care. It sold toys.
