The Masters of the Universe Movie Trailer!

It's been a long time coming, and after so many years of false hopes and stalled starts, we finally have a new He-Man movie coming to theaters this summer! A trailer was released on January 22nd, and as a way to celebrate, I invited some friends over for a trailer preview party. Let's see what everyone thinks!

The cast so far:

Miss M- The dorkette of your dreams. A brief update of events: was set to marry Bruce Wayne at the end of 2024, but life had other plans. It could have been a lot worse, but thanks to her daughter in the future it only turned out to be a little worse. (See the Time Heals All Wounds posts) Really excited for the trailer, already curious what the toy merch will look like. 

Glo- One of M's best friends. Is hoping She-Ra shows up in the trailer. Highly aware this probably won't happen. Which is for the best, she's a Glimmer stan anyway.

Michelangelo- M's ex from back in the day and yet is still best friends with her. Beyond pumped for trailer, showed up in cosplay.

Winston- dear friend who has joined M in countless adventures to help save the world. Is shocked that there is actually going to be a new He-Man movie in theaters. 

Dick Tracy- Sort of new to the group. Dated M back in college. Has rekindled a friendship, and maybe something more. Has no idea who He-Man is. Not really into nerdy stuff, but along for the ride.

Miss M: Ok, so right off the bat I apologize, we will be watching this on my computer screen.

Glo: That's cool. I'm really loving the new place by the way.

Miss M: Thank you.

Michelangelo: And you're sure you couldn't have stayed at the Wayne Mansion just a little longer? Or just asked for a big screen tv? That dude must have like a bazillion of them. He totally could have parted with one.

Miss M: Umm, like, we weren't married. I was not entitled to half of his items. Or any items at all. Besides, Bruce has amnesia. He wasn't going to give me one out of the kindness of his heart. I am practically a stranger to him.

Winston: So since he has amnesia, he maybe wouldn't have remembered a tv missing?

Michelangelo: Dude. Smart thinking.

Dick Tracy: Umm, detective right here guys.

Miss M: No one is breaking the law and stealing a tv from Bruce Wayne. Look. Last year was a crap year. 2026 is already looking to be another crap year. This trailer is a bright spot for a lot of us in what is essentially going to be a crap year. I'm sorry it will not be on a big screen. But to be fair, my computer screen is really nice. I just bought it and it is barely obsolete. 

Glo: Girl, don't listen to them. Let's watch this trailer.

Michelangelo: Totally dudette. We're just messin.

Winston: Yeah. A big screen would probably show any imperfections in the cgi anyway. 

Dick Tracy: So, do we gather around the screen? I'm a little new to the concept of a trailer preview party.

Miss M: Yes, gather round everyone!

Miss M: I know I said to bring snacks, but we don't really need to be eating anything and making smacking noises right now anyway.

Michelangelo: Man, this screen is so small...

Glo: I think that's just those synthetic wig fibers getting in your line of sight Mikey. Haha.

Michelangelo: Nope! Totally real human hair. Don't ask how I got this. Totally. Illegal. Ish.

Dick Tracy: Detective in the room...

Winston: Shh, it's on!

The friends watch in gasps of oohs and aahs. 

Two minutes and 25 seconds later...

(silence)

Miss M: Well? What do we think?

Winston: Pronoun joke was funny, even funnier because it's gonna anger the right people.

Glo: It looks cute. I think they nailed the goofy kinda lame side of Adam. 

Winston: This isn't really a bad thing, but it looks like a safe movie. 

Miss M: What do you mean?

Winston: I mean from the trailer alone, it looks like it follows a look and feel like any other super hero type movie. They really capture the look of the characters while also adding a little something new. Skeletor looks good. I am intrigued by Spikor. It looks like it could bring in new fans, younger fans instead of just us old folks. All in all, I am intrigued for more.

Glo: Would have been nice to see She-Ra though. Not gonna lie.

Michelangelo: Totally true. But friggin cowabunga dudes, this movie looks sick! Let's go!

Winston: All in due time Mikey. We have to wait until June.

Dick Tracy: What did you think M?

Miss M: I loved it. Caught myself getting teary eyed. I can see how some people might not like it, but I think this movie looks to have a nice mix of corny humor and cool stuff. That transformation scene, my goodness, it made me feel so warm and happy. I agree with Glo though, I'd love to see She-Ra, but I am really freaking out to see this. Plus the cast! Like, we're getting a lot of characters in this film. Y'all. I think we are on the right track!

Winston: I think we'll all be watching the trailer over and over, because I also caught some surprises in there too. 

Glo: Yep. Looks like our group chat will be abuzz. Anyone wanna grab a slice? My mom has Layla for the night so I'm living like it's my twenties.

Michelangelo: Totally down.

Winston: Wish I could. Sarah's about done with work and I need to meet her for dinner.

Winston: I'll see you guys later.

Glo: Bye Winston.

Michelangelo: See ya later dude.

Miss M: Tell Sarah we said hi and that we missed her!

Dick Tracy: Nice seeing you Winston.

Glo: Ok, you two wanna come with?

Michelangelo: Hot slices amongst friends?

Dick Tracy: Sounds nice, but I have an early morning tomorrow. I'll be leaving in a bit.

Miss M: I'm gonna say bye to Dick but then I'll meet you guys there. I am presuming our usual spot?

Michelangelo: Totally.

Glo: See you there. (to Michelangelo) So, you're still gonna wear that wig?

Michelangelo: I totally am dudette.

Glo: Oh Mikey. Never change.

Miss M: Well, I know this isn't really your thing, but I am glad you came over for the trailer reveal.

Dick Tracy: Of course. It was all worth it just to see your face light up. 

Miss M: (blushes) Thank you. So, what did you think?

Dick Tracy: Eh, not exactly the kind of movie I'd normally go for, but I'll certainly be happy to see it with you in June. 

Miss M: Sounds like a date. Er, plan. I meant to say plan. 

Dick Tracy: We can call it a date.

Miss M: (smiles) Ok! Glad we are on the same page with that.

Dick Tracy: Me too. Well doll, I should get going. Busy day and all.

Miss M: Of course. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a nice night.

Dick Tracy: See ya around.

Miss M: See ya.

Evil-Lyn: My, my, my. Moving on already hmm?

Miss M: (gasps)

Evil-Lyn: Careful. We wouldn't want to have the nice man finding out you're crazy.

Dick Tracy: M?

Miss M: Yes?

Dick Tracy: June is still a decent ways away. How does Saturday sound?

Miss M: Saturday?

Dick Tracy: A date. Going out to dinner. No pressure. I don't want to rush things for you, just thought it might be nice. 

Miss M: Umm sure! 

Dick Tracy: Swell. We'll iron out the details later. 'Night.

Evil-Lyn: Well isn't that sweet? Ya know, I didn't realize, you have quite the thing for detectives don't you?

Miss M: (faint whisper) Keep quiet please...

Evil-Lyn: Oh don't worry your pretty little head, he can't hear me. Or can he? Hello Dick! Do you mind if I call you Dick? See? Can't hear me.

Miss M: What in the world is going on?

Evil-Lyn: Hmm. Am I but a figment of your imagination or perhaps I'm telepathically reaching out to you? Or maybe this is all very real. Go on, reach out and touch me.

Miss M: No thank you. And I know you can't be real. Last time I saw you, you were shooting your roided self off into space and have never been heard from again.

Evil-Lyn: Well then I guess you have it all figured out. 

Miss M: What do you want with me? Ya know, I can just blink my eyes really fast and snap out of this and you'll be gone.

Evil-Lyn: Now you know that won't happen. I'm a part of you. The part of you that is judging the hell out of you for moving on so fast. I mean, it's only been a year, and here you are, toying with the idea of new love. Poor Bruce Wayne. Not that we need to be feeling sorry for billionaires. 

Miss M: I have not moved on fast. It's just dinner.

Evil-Lyn: Dinner with an ex. I can see those butterflies in your stomach from here. Poor Bruce, what will he think when he regains his memory? 

Miss M: Joke is on you sis, because that won't be happening. He had a brain aneurism on what was meant to be our wedding day. Then fell into a coma. Then woke up unable to remember the last number of years. Doctors say there is no coming back from what he went through. And even though we have shown him proof what is life was, he wants nothing to do with me. 

Evil-Lyn: You know what this sounds like?

Miss M: No, but I'm sure you are going to tell me.

Evil-Lyn: A soap opera. And you know what that means. I think it is time.

Miss M: I don't even know what you are blabbering on about. Or why I am having this lapse in reality with you. I just saw the He-Man trailer. Would've been nice to have a vision with, I dunno, He-Man, or Roboto, or even ol' bone face himself.

Evil-Lyn: Too bad. Your brain decided on me. Me, the best part of this little movie coming out in June. Just wait and see. For now, I think it's time you give the 1.2 people on the internet what they have been missing. What was it? All My Toys?

Evil-Lyn: That's right dear reader. Looks like there's all kinds of reveals tonight. All My Toys is coming back. Nothing ever truly stays final with this dorky chick.

Miss M: Get out of my darn head lady!

Miss M: Oh. That's weird. Talk about a movie trailer with an impact. Ok. Focus. You're just on a high from the trailer. Pizza will solve this. I'm not me when I'm hungry.

So, what did you think of the MOTU movie trailer? I am really excited for it. Is it the kind of movie I would have envisioned in my head, probably not, but that is absolutely for the best. From what I have seen so far, I am super excited for it. The humor looks nice. I am falling more and more in love with the cast. And yeah, I'm totally excited to see what the merchandise will look like. 

I am also super excited to announce that All My Toys is coming back! Your favorite toy soap opera is ready for more drama and celebrating the pieces of plastic we all know and love. Truth be told, the world has become a really messy and scary place lately, and I keep finding myself slipping into that toy soap opera world again, so let's do this!
