The real power of the he-man transformation scene wasn't the muscles, it was giving Adam that shampoo blowout combo.

hey so i dont think im ever gonna be normal about adam feeling constantly pressurized to submit gender norms - becoming obsessed with the idea of becoming someone else aka a "true man" like he thinks his father wanted, feeling ashamed for being weak and small as a child yet still trying to talk his way through conflict rather than fight despite being told multiple times it wont work. i dont think im ever gonna be normal about them having boys dont cry, a song where a boy is unable to escape those internalized societal pressures as well as toxic masculinity - play twice during the highly emotional points of his story. im not ever gonna be normal about adams father telling him he never wanted him to be someone different, how he was a sweet boy and he only wanted him to be strong and prepared for the world around him. i am never, ever going to be normal again actually
