McG to direct He-Man

~~Commenter 42~~ · 01-22-2016, 05:00 PM

And you thought I was angry about PDMT.

I've been told (from a very reliable source) they're hiring the GD team from TMNT to design the characters. The folks behind such classics as I, Frankenstein, Pixels, Gods of Egypt, and Jupiter Ascending.

Hell hath no fury kids...

Fu*king sh*t.

*Bry* · 01-22-2016, 05:09 PM

Sorry, He-Man fans.

Yeah, I heard earlier today. Pretty much the worst news I've gotten in years.

I blame PD's TMNT movie entirely for this, you understand. Take a property people passionately love, hand it off to people who don't care about it, let them do "their version" of it, subtract plot and backstory, add explosions, and watch the rubes eat it up with a shovel. "It worked for those guys," was definitely the thinking here. F*cking DAMN IT.

He-Man's like one of my three favorite things of all time. Frankly, I don't give a tiny sh*t about TMNT, if compared to how much I love He-Man. And a ton of stuff I've been hearing over the last few years has been spotty, but promising. I actually had hope for this.

That'll teach me. That's what we get, when a piece of sh*t like PD TMNT makes $600 million; "It's just a stupid 80s toy, the movie's just a stupid commercial, who gives a sh*t?" Thanks, guys. Thanks a f*cking LOT. Now MY thing gets to be sh*tty and awful. You can all burn for it.

Yeah I'm not happy. You can say I'm not happy.

AKA some of the most terrible films from the past couple of years.

I've never been exposed to He-Man, but I feel really bad for anyone who enjoys the show.

This movie has been in development hell forever. I'd be shocked if it ever gets made.

Annnnnd this would be the bad points to of today.... The original movie will suddenly be heralded as an epic film... lol

Jupiter Ascending was amazing, but it was ridiculous. It was just my kind of ridiculous. Those other movies were not made with someone like me in mind, so I think you guys might be on your own.

But let's be honest, he-man really was about a leather daddy fighting a skeleton so maybe it'll be okay?

*Utrommaniac* · 01-22-2016, 09:05 PM

Oh noooo!

This is just going to crash and burn like a poorly manned firework.

Kind of have to laugh at how pitiful this is going to turn out.

The idea could've been something. (I just netflixed it a week ago, so it's fresh), but the script was, well it's what the Wachowskis do now - long on needless exposition, short on sensible film making.

There were some big ideas, stuff that could have been great to explore - but so much talkie talkie to get to the good stuff. T'was a movie in need of an editor.

Y'all may hate Tosh, but his He-man musical is the best thing, ever.

With an ex Menudo as the titular character, bears playing Man-at-arms and other Eternians, and Tosh as Skeletor...

McG can't possibly do better. I mean, which A-lister is willing to be Fist-O?

WARNING:
Contains hilarity.

Was never big on He-Man so I kinda agree. Other than Skeletor berating his minions I never really bothered to watch.
But now I wanna see Jupiter Ascending.

First thought when I read the news: "McG? Why, was Brett Ratner unavailable?"

*snake* · 01-23-2016, 10:25 AM

It still has a chance to be decent, right? I mean it's He Man, not too hard to f*ck it up.
