Let's start with my subjective positives about this movie. The pacing of the story was ok. The action was good. The side characters looked amazing and were used pretty well. I was overall entertained by this movie.

There were a few things that bothered me though. And it's mostly about how they used our protagonist and antagonist of this movie. And the comedy in this movie is something that should've been tested with a few actual comedians to give notes.

Spoilers ahead.

Ok?

First off, I'm not holding actors responsible for what I'm about to say. This is mostly direction.

From what I had experienced from the different media I had previously consumed of He-Man, when prince Adam is his normal self he tended to come over as awkward and clumsy but he was still determined to take action. That determination was completely absent in the first part of the movie and it bothered me. This version of Adam was one that absolutely didn't grow up from the kid in the beginning of this movie. And that was painfully noticeable when he was running from Beast-man. This version of Adam was ready to piss his pants fleeing from Beast-man. The scared boy with a training background and an indoctrination on how to be "a man" with so many years to prepare to return to a home destroyed by a tyrant to take back, was running like he hadn't mentally grown a day since then. And this won't improve until the second half of the movie where the moves he was suddenly busting out at Skeletor's keep feel too much out of the blue from what we saw before. But after that we see the backbone he was missing. The most Adam moment closest to what I was expecting was in that cell during the war seminar. Awkward and clumsy, yet determined.

As for Skeletor. They made him too awkward with his childish "I'm the villain" monologues that went too long and too cringy too many times. You could've cut 15 minutes from this movie when he got to his point (of the initial joke) and finished there. It killed the mood at times for what overall could've been a good (irony) witty, even playful, yet menacing villain.

I just wanted to do it to get it out of my system. I didn't care for how far or close it was compared to George Newbern, because I know my foreign accent and sound of my voice wouldn't come anywhere close to that iconic moment.

This quote was something I kept with me from the moment I watched that episode. It kept the kid in me hoping that there could still be something I could succeed if I wasn't shackling myself with my doubts. The kind of hope that got me through some of my darker days.

Nope.

This after a year where I had my foot nearly broken and having a blocked neck/shoulder 3 times.

I know my acting sucks. I'm not funny. I have no real "talent" for this. But it's ok. I do this for fun. A kind of fun I just wanted to have and do.

The internet is full of fake personas who want to be seen and awed. I don't care about that. I'm a struggling idiot with a bit of love for what he likes. Like most people in the world are. There is nothing wrong with that.

A situation that clearly demonstrates bad intentions. An email exchange that strongly suggests who did it. And ultimately, it's filed away as a "lost and found" case.

2025 has given me so much. My own apartment, new friends, a new family, a trip off my bucket list, and a loving year with my fantastic girlfriend.

2025 also had its struggles and setbacks, but compared to everything I've gained, it feels like mere footnotes in what I can probably call my best year ever on a personal level.

1) Black Lagoon by Rei Hiroe

The series revolves around a pirate group called The Lagoon Company, which specializes in dangerous transport operations, and the series begins with the "recruitment" of their newest member. Their base is in a city called Roanapur, where you see the biggest scumbags and the most dangerous cartels congregate.

Putting Phil Collins in charge of a soundtrack for a Disney movie about Tarzan. Who would have thought something like this would come out? You'd immediately feel like the king of the jungle.

Disney songs rarely disappoint. Some of them have known a lot of mainstream popularity. In the Lion King, that song is Hakuna Matata. But the villain's song sometimes goes by unnoticed. This is not the case with this power song of Scar.

What bombed at the box office ended up being a cult classic. Tenacious D The Pick Of Destiny was no perfect movie, but it had some killer tracks. This is one of them.

It was a tie between the theme I grew up with, learning about the pizza eating ninja turtles in the sewers of New York, and the classic that started off the original show. My nostalgia got the better of my judgement today.

Opening theme to the cult classic One Punch Man. A guy who could take down monsters with one punch after his dedicated daily training regime at the cost of his hair.
