First look at new He-Man


One of the most overly muscled characters to ever come out of the 80’s and they are presenting this guy in the new live action film.

Apparently he didnt have 6k in cals a day of broccoli… chicken breast and rice leading up to it.

I think there are 2 factors at play. The obvious one is Hollywood generally likes softer looking men, for . . .reasons.

But secondly - there aren’t any charismatic bodybuilder actors anymore. Look at Arnold vs Momoa.

I suppose you could argue that wrestling stars like The Rock, Dave Bautista, and John Cena kind of took over that typecast, but it still doesn’t feel the same. I think Alan Ritchson is the strongest contender for roles like he-man currently.

Looking at your photo again, I think there should be an arm to sword ratio that action heroes need.

Honestly I didn’t even like Dolph as Heman when I was a kid. He was too lanky whereas heman was dense and muscular. This new guy… pshhh not even close.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, one of my clients expressed having a huge thing for him, and it sort of blew my mind. His face is completely lacking in expression, and I don’t think he’s ever laughed on Reacher. CAN he laugh? No one knows.

So…yeah. That’s all I have to say for now on this topic.

I think this version of Heman would have more appeal with the mums taking their kids to see the movie

I heard hemsworth may be portraying He-man

I was literally coming into this topic to say he seems like the obvious choice. Perhaps to the point that it’s TOO obvious, and the concern would be watching Thor play He-man.

yep…i think he is typecasted as Thor

I can’t take Alan Ritchson seriously

Whenever I see him I just think of Thad from blue mountain state… which was a great show, but I understand it couldn’t air in today’s political climate

It’s engrained in my mind now

That actually makes a stronger case for him, since He-man is also a libby cuck.

The oil change is a real phenomenon, but this show absolutely took the piss out of it.

Do actual real grown ups talk like that? I think i need to back out of the Off Topic section again

And why would i need that?

He-Man should be roided-out, full stop. Any 1980s muscle man should be. None of them were natty.

What a slap in the face to my generation!

If somebody rides a tiger into battle, I would expect, at the very least, that he would look like he could chop a horse in half swinging a greatsword.

Longways too. Not some sissy cut from back to belly. This guy shouldn’t need guile, cuz he has gunz like a battleship. Some weird little sidekick can do the thinky stuff.
