The Fall of a Toy Empire: A He-Man and The Masters of the Universe Retrospective | Part 3
The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/midnightsedge01221
When Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe Revelation crashed and burned upon release, it was in some sense history repeating itself, because the He-Man franchise has crashed and burned before.
The most spectacular example of this was in the mid 1980s. In what felt like it happened overnight, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and She-Ra along with them, went from being the biggest toyfranchise in the world, to simply disappearing. While it didn’t literally happen overnight, the air did go out of the ballon, and it happened unbelievable fast, as the Masters of the Universe line went from grossing 400 million in 1986, to a mere seven in 1987.
A collapse like that doesn’t just happen on its own!
We have already explored He-man’s origin and meteoric rise to fame, as well as the introduction of She-Ra, Princess of Power.
In this video, we will explore the days before the fall, as we go through the commissioning of the live action feature film, the real meaning of the Christmas Special, and finally, THE FALL. What caused it, and lessons that can be learned from it.

She-Ra, and the Rise of an Icon: A He-Man and The Masters of the Universe Retrospective | Part 2
Install Raid for Free ✅ IOS/ANDROID/PC: https://clcr.me/MidnightsEdge_Raid and get a special starter pack 💥 Available only for the next 30 days
Going in, there was much hype for «Masters of the Universe: Revelation», but upon release, it crashed and burned. Behind that crash, were a culmination of different factors, many of which go back decades. To fully appreciate them, we are taking a deep dive into the history of the Masters of the Universe franchise.
In part one of this series of retrospectives leading up to the Revelation Postmortem, we explored the origins of He-Man, the dubious link to Conan the Barbarian, and the creation of the Filmation series, which caused toysales to skyrocket to heights no one had imagined possible, peaking at 400 million in 1986. But from there, like Revelation would do decades later, the franchise crashed and burned, collapsing to just 7 million the very next year.
In order to understand the fall, we must first explore the rise, as that is where the seeds of destruction where planted.
In this video, we will go through how Mattel and Filmation both wanted to expand the brand with She-ra, how mistakes were made in the process, and the launch of He-man’s twin sister.

When Superman “dropped the soap”, courtesy of DC Comics and WarnerMedia
#DC #TheFlash #Batman #SpiderManNoWayHome
Once the symbol of truth, justice and the American way; under the stewardship of Warner and DC Comics, Superman is now a symbol of truth, justice and a better tomorrow.
But better for whom, exactly? Certainly not for Superman himself, or his legion of fans.
In this video, we’ll go through the recent degradation of Superman in the comics and on film, and why they choose to make him the butt of so many jokes.

DC Films to FlashPoint the Snyderverse out of existence, in favor of all female Trinity!?!
#DC #TheFlash #Batman #SpiderManNoWayHome
Spider-Man No Way Home introduced the Marvel Multiverse concept for the masses in a very big way, and DC films hopes will continue down that path, with Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton reprising their respective Batmen. But, if rumors are to be believed, the movie will both pull a Rian Johnson’s Star Wars The Last Jedi by first burying the past, and then top it off giving the DC trinity a Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters style female centric makeover.
In this video, @AndreEinherjar will begin by breaking down the most recent rumors making the rounds, see if other known insiders and scoopers agree with them, and finally assess whether or not they are in line with previous official statements.

Paul Feig’s humiliating Ghostbusters «victory» over Sony is no victory at all!
#Ghostbusters #PaulFeig #SpiderManNoWayHome
Director Paul Feig recently called Sony out on Twitter over his “Ghostbusters Answer The Call” being omitted from the Ultimate Ghostbusters Collector’s set, and that appears to have worked, since his movie will now be included as a downloadable digital extra! So victory goes to Paul Feig! Or does it?
In this video, @AndreEinherjar will go over Feig’s response to all the backlash he got, how it was indeed all for nothing because his movie was always going to be included digitally anyway, and the possible cost of his tweeting out of turn.

Why Kingpin was so different in the MCU, and all other returning Netflix characters will be too!
#SpiderManNoWayHome #Hawkeye #MCU #Daredevil
Spider-man No Way Home and the final episode of Hawkeye on Disney+ were released within days of each other, and this was no coincidence, as the two share a connection. More specifically, this connection is to the Netflix Daredevil series, as Spider-Man featured the return of Charlie Cox as Daredevil, while Hawkeye featured the return of Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.
So does that mean the Netflix series like Daredevil are canon to the MCU now?
In this video, we will go through the reality of the situation, as we first explore the legalities of the situation between the MCU and the Netflix shows, the in-continuity relation between the Netflix series and the MCU, and finally, which other characters from the Netflix series may be carried over to the MCU proper.

Hollywood learning the WRONG lessons from Spider-man No Way Home’s Billion Dollar Success?
#SpiderManNoWayHome #StarWars #TheLastJedi
Spider-Man No Way Home is a certified monster hit, already having crossed the billion dollar threshold at the worldwide boxoffice. The movie is notable for being all about sheer entertainment, giving the audience what they wanted, and for not forcing any kind of ideopolitical messaging.
Will Hollywoodlearn that this is the way to go? Nope, not if Forbes’ Scott Mendelson’s boxoffice breakdown is anything to go by. He found a way use Spider-Man’s boxoffice to prop up Marvel’s Shang-Chi and Star Wars The Last Jedi.
In this editorial, @AndreEinherjar will go through what he said, and why it’s thinly veiled deflection aimed at protecting THE MESSAGE, and why it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Barbarian Beginnings: A He-Man and The Masters of the Universe Retrospective | Part 1
The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/midnightsedge12211
Prior to its release, few movies or series had those who grew up in the eighties quite as hyped as «Masters of the Universe: Revelation». The He-Man revival promised audiences it was made by the fans for the fans, and that it would continue the story from the original Filmation series left off.
But rather than live up to its promise, Season one Part one subverted expectations in ways not seen since Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy’s crowning achievement, Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Something went wrong along the way, and in this series of franchise retrospective leading up to a Revelation postmortem, we will explore what that was.
In part 1, we will begin by going through origins of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, including the legal battles with the rightsholders of Conan the Barbarian, and the beginnings of corporate and rights issues which would culminate in Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation.

Paul Feig calls out Sony for humiliating his 2016 Ghostbusters yet again
#Ghostbusters #GhostbustersAfterlife #PaulFeig
The hit film Ghostbusters: Afterlife will soon be released on physical media, and to coincide with that, Sony is releasing an eight-disc Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection to Blu-ray and 4K. The set naturally features the three Ghosbuters movies, namely the original from 1984, the sequel from 1989, and of course, part 3, Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters. Afterlife. Absent from the collection of course, is Paul Feig’s female centric Ghostbusters parody. The activists on Twitter weren’t happy about this, and raised the matter to Paul Feig himself, who subsequently called Sony out on it!
In this editorial, @AndreEinherjar will go through what was said, why it made no sense, and finally, why the 2016 movie genuinely has no business being included in any Ultimate Ghostbusters collection.

The Matrix Resurrections, Wheel of Time and LOTR all given the ‘Star Wars Last Jedi’ Treatment?!
Get Surfshark VPN at https://surfshark.deals/midnight - Enter promo code MIDNIGHT for 83% off and 4 extra months for free!
“The Matrix Resurrections” is open us, and according to Indiewire’s David Erlich, it is “the boldest & most vividly personal Hollywood sequel since The Last Jedi.”
The “Star Wars The Last Jedi” comparison means different things to different people, and to regular moviegoers, it is a shorthand for “avoid”.
That a Star Wars movie can be used in such a manner is however news to other fandoms who are only learning of this concept now, as their favorite properties are getting the Last Jedi treatment.
In this video then, we will as a public service re-iterate to those who came in late exactly what the Last Jedi did, and why most people would consider that bad that treatment was applied to anything they like. Further illustrating the point, we’ll apply it to some other franchises where the fanbase either is in the process of, or soon about to learn what it really means, namely The Wheel of Time, Sex and the City, and finally, Lord of the Rings.
Finally, we’ll look into what happens after the The Last Jedi treatment has been applied, as we look into the current state of Star Wars, shortly before the premiere of Book of Boba Fett on Disney Plus.

The Sad and Embarrassing Failure of Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop
#CowboyBebop #Netflix
On December 9th, The Hollywood Reporter broke the exclusive scoop that Netflix “Cowboy Bebop” had been cancelled, a mere three weeks since the show’s debut.
The rest of the trades soon picked up on the story, and from there, the embarrassingly premature and early cancellation of Cowboy Bebop was picked up by every website, blog and Youtube channel covering the entertainment industry. Usually, shows are cancelled with little fanfare, as news like that are normally swept under the rug – but this got almost more attention that the shows initial announcement, which is unusual; and adding insult to injury, fan reactions to the cancellation generally ranged from indifference to outright schadenfreude.
We’ll explore all of that in this editorial, as we go through how this could have gone so wrong, the responses to the cancellation, and finally, what lessons should be taken from this.

Why Star Trek Discovery is no longer on Netflix
#StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery #Netflix #ParamountPlus
On November 18th, the fourth season of Star Trek Discovery premiered in North America and handful of other markets around the world, but hardly else. As it turned out, Netflix, the international distributor of Star Trek Discovery’s first three seasons, would not be releasing season 4. Not only that, the first three seasons disappeared from Netflix.
The entertainment media complex described this as something of a victory, as if Star Trek Discovery had been “reclaimed” by Paramount Plus. As we shall see, that was pure spin.
We will begin by going through the flaws in the claim that “buying out Netflix” was somehow a win for Paramount Plus, before breaking down how despite appearances to the contrary, Netflix allegedly were the ones who managed to get out of their Star Trek Discovery commitments; and finally, the machinations behind how season 4 ended up released for free on Pluto TV internationally.

Bob Iger out of Disney for good; Chapek & Susan Arnold controls the future of Star Wars and Marvel
#Disney #StarWars #Marvel
The Bob Iger era of Disney is at an end. On December 31 of 2021, he will step down as Chairman of Disney’s Board, the position he has held since Bob Chapek succeeded him as CEO; and leave Disney for good.
Susan Arnold is lined up to replace him, meaning she will effectively be Bob Chapek’s new boss.
That leaves the question, what kind of boss will she be to Chapek? Will the two clash, like Iger and Chapek did, or could the two be aligned around a common cause? Only time will tell for certain, but based on the information available, we can none the less provide some informed speculation.
To assist in that, we reached out to someone who knows and understands corporate politics in general as well as the particularities of Disney’s politics; namely writer and producer Kamran Pasha.
In this video, we will begin by briefly going through who Disney’s new Chairman is and how she rose to power within the company, before providing some analysis on what kind of relationship she might have with Bob Chapek, and how the two of them might influence not just Disney, but Hollywood at large going forward.

Kevin Smith’s MOTU sob story reveals everything wrong with entertainment today
#MastersofTheUniverse #MastersofTheUniverseRevelation #DoctorWho
The entire first season of Masters of the Universe: Revelation is behind us, and since the audience fled after Part 1, the backlash for Part 2 wasn’t as bad. Kevin Smith not only saw that as a win, he shared his perspective on the fan disapproval. In so doing however, he inadvertently revealed just how out of touch he is with the audience, let alone how insulated he is from actual reality.
@AndreEinherjar is of the opinion that what Kevin Smith could very well be equally true for other destroyers of franchises, such as Star Trek’s Alex Kurtzman and Doctor Who’s Chris Chibnall, and he argues why in this editorial.

Behind Kathleen Kennedy’s Star Wars and Lucasfilm renewal, and the cancellation of Rogue Squadron!
Get Surfshark VPN at https://surfshark.deals/midnight - Enter promo code MIDNIGHT for 83% off and 4 extra months for free!
On November 15th, word started making the rounds that Kathleen Kennedy’s contract as head of Lucasfilm has reportedly been extended.
For viewers of this channel, this should come as no surprise, as we were the very first outlet to report Mikey Sutton of Geekosity fame’s exclusive scoop that a renewal of that contract was on the cards.
Regardless, we will in this video begin by going through the other piece of Star Wars news, namely Patty Jenkins Rogue Squadron being pushed back indefinitely, before breaking down the Kathleen Kennedy situation, and what a renewal might entail.
Exclusive Mikey Sutton scoop, brought to you by Midnight’s Edge:
