I don't care about Fortnite He-Man. #notmymotu

I have no emotional investment in it at all. But I can't help but notice going by the numbers that nobody else does either.

Also worth mentioning: I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and they were JAMMED with those stupid-looking toys. I guess nobody wants those, either.

Don't care about the show itself. My concern is that it's failure might kill the brand for good, like how NA helped do. I mean I know NA has fans and it's not as bad in a vacuum as many people say it was. But it DID pretty much put the final nail in the coffin for the franchise when it tanked, to say otherwise simply isn't true.

For better or worse, I'm sure it's happening again. Like NA, this reboot is ostensibly for "a brand new audience" that's supposed to "carry the brand going forward". And just like NA, it failed to do that, utterly. So they failed to please old-school fans with "Revelation", and they failed to hook the new kids with the CGI reboot. That means MOTU is going back on the shelf, possibly for good this time, as soon as the Origins line runs out of gas.

That's a shame. But, these things happen. I'm quite certain there simply is no way to make MOTU "hip" in the modern era. It was very much a product of its time and that time has long since passed.
