BTW, the trailer looks pretty cool. Let's hope they don't Pokemon it up too badly, like the recent Transformers fiasco.

And I guess I'm too stuck in my ways...I didn't like the trailer at all. I liked the fact that the old He-Man wasn't so nimble (as was demonstrated by the new one backflipping everywhere). Just a big guy with a sword and the power of greyskull to use it

I downloaded the trailer about 2 minutes after they posted it on the site.
Skeletor's voice may sound weird to you, but to a He-Man fan it sounds very much like what Alan Oppenhiemer did with it in the original Filmation cartoon. Same with the Sorceress and He-Man.
Thumps up on the trailer.
No Orko in the trailer, but he may be in the episodes when the series starts. He is getting a toy. He is in the third wave of figures I believe. As for She-Ra, I hope they bring her into the Masters of the Universe line and cartoon. And the Horde.

The animation is a 100% improvement over the old stiffly drawn show. I forget the compnay that produced the '80's show but I always thought their animation SUCKED!
I also like the new He-man haircut better than the old fruitcake cut He-man had

Old hairdo

I do like the new look, and the fact that the voice actors they got are basically sounding like the voices from the Filmation cartoon.

I was just happy that they seemed to keep the costumes pretty much the same. I was afraid they would update them or mess them up too much. I'm still amazed this will be on Cartoon Network! They have had such a negative stance on He-Man since the beginning of the channel. They always said that it was nothing more than a 30 minute commercial and would never show it on their channel. They said the same about GI Joe and Transformers and now they are planning on airing GI Joe. I guess things change, but I'm sure it involved money.

Looks a little bit darker than the original one. I am actually more for such an approach as the old one tended to wuss out in areas concerning fighting and tried to give a moral lesson at the end.
For those who collected the toys from the first year, you would recall that the little story books included were a little more mature than the cartoon ever hoped, and they also never id the Prince Adam as He-Man crap/ The first He-Man line had more of a Conan the Barbarian vibe to it with He-Man beating up bad guys and sleeping with Teela. (Okay, not in the books, but they always rode off on Battlecat together, what do you think they were going to do?)
