• Masters of the Universe (Spoiler Review) - Feminine Coded Masculinity

    I guess we're completely alone on this one. Call us old fashioned but
    we like our men masculine and out women feminine. Not the other way
    around. Seemed liked a no-brainer for a movie based on an 80s cartoon.
    Masters of the Universe could have been great if it just pretended it
    wasn't 2026. What boy... or man... would look up to this version of
    He-Man?

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    I'm at 1:13. They just showed the traditional scene of He-Man drawing
    the sword and bellowing, "I HAVE THE POWER," but they changed it to "I
    AM A HOMO."

    I wish the manosphere could be a little less immature. As long as I'm
    wishing, I'd still like that pony.

    Go with that thought! How would you do the '80s crossover between He Man
    and My Little Pony?

    Skeletor learns of a world powered by the magic of friendship. He's
    disgusted, but he'll take any source of power to help him seize Castle Grayskull. He creates a dimensional tunnel and begins to siphon magic
    from the Tree of Harmony. This is a disaster for Equestria and Eternia
    alike, as Skeletor's forces marshall for the final assault. It appears
    that Skeletor will win.

    The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull reaches out for help to the only
    magical being she trusts -- Princess Celestia. Celestia puts it together
    and sends the Mane Six through a magical gate to Eternia, charging them
    with saving both realms.

    He-Man and his friends, busy bracing for the assault, see six brightly
    colored ponies appear. There is time for a few comical hijinks, and then
    they invoke the Elements of Harmony to remove Skeletor's stolen power
    and use the power of harmony against his evil ways, as the guardians of Grayskull spill forth to handle Skeletor once and for all.

    The good guys win, but Skeletor somehow escapes to cause trouble another
    day. Equestria and Eternia are both saved.

    What happens if then Skeletor escapes to the world of MONSTERS
    UNIVERSITY? Will Skeletor learn not only the power of friendship but
    just how much power can come from bringing joy to people?

    Pardon me while I drive this up to Burbank and sell it as my own...
