I think this would have worked better as a television reboot for the youth to get acclimated with He-Man and the universe
It has no cultural relevance (theme is action, whereas Barbie required plot)

Mattel took the wrong lesson from Barbie and just spent nearly $200 million proving it.
Barbie did $1.44 billion, so Mattel raided the toy closet and greenlit films for Polly Pocket, Barney, Uno, Hot Wheels, and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. The thesis was simple: own the IP, print the franchise. Masters of the Universe was the first real swing at it. Nearly $200M to produce, plus a marketing budget that on a film this size usually adds $100M on top.
It opened to $29.3M domestic, $54.3M worldwide. A movie at this budget needs around $425M globally just to break even, so He-Man has to nearly 8x his opening weekend across the entire run. And theaters keep about half the gross, so the studio actually pocketed roughly $15M of that debut.
The gross is bad. The audience breakdown is worse. Only 5% of opening weekend was under 12. Only 6% was 13 to 17. The single biggest block, 29%, was aged 45 to 54. The people who bought tickets are the people who played with the toy in 1985.
That one data point is the whole problem with the strategy. Mattel sells toys to children. The movie built to mint a new generation of He-Man fans instead drew a reunion of the old one. Nostalgia converts once. Then those buyers age out and there's nobody standing behind them.
Barbie worked because Greta Gerwig made a movie about what the doll means, and it hit a cultural moment no release slate can manufacture on command. Mattel read that result as "the toy is the asset." The toy was never the asset.
This is also the second time He-Man has died on screen. The 1987 version grossed $17.3M on a $22M budget. Four decades and an extra $180 million later, the result rhymes.

Everyone must feed into a delusion of some sort
Thatās what it takes to āmake itā (because weāre not counting the luck of the draw who were born into)
You gotta have a certain level of delusion (at least what it will be to others until it works out

Men need purpose and a vision
Without a vision and a purpose men really will start to wither
And Iām not even talking āconquer the worldā type purpose
I mean something simple as āI must curate and build a community worthy of my standardā

Iām always reminded of no matter how much I think Iām quick-witted, Iām behind
I would not have initially thought of the weight of anything during a construction
I just assumed concrete could hold

They did something like this to the Sasol Library at UFS because it was sinking...
Because the engineers didnt calculate for the weight of the books....
Community note
The story of the Sasol Library sinking because engineers did not calculate for the weight of the books is a common urban legend told about many university libraries. Structural engineers always include the weight of books in their calculations for such buildings.

Rue telling any and everyone she worked for Naziās, the DEA and was a drug mule was the problem.
Soon as she told Lexi and then Lexi told Maddie, I KNEW she was getting sent to the upper room
A MADDY NĆO SABIA QUE O ALAMO ERA UM TRAFICANTE, A RUE NUNCA CONTOU ESSA PARTE
a Rue sĆ³ falava que ele era dono de um clube de stripper e ainda pediu pra maddy o nĆŗmero de um traficante para o Ćlamo naquela cena da piscina, ela nĆ£o fazia ideia dessa parte gente

This is what I mean when I say people lack the ability to see past their own preference
Yet, when Franklin ended up JUST like his pops, suddenly it was āa full circle momentā
Rue died, in a full circle moment

"The honest ending is that people like Rue don't make it"
This is the perfect excuse for the show's terrible writing. It wouldn't have hurt to give us a little bit of hope. FUCK YOU SAM LEVINSON #euphoria
