Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Microman USA: The "right" Hero at the Right Time in Books
Apr 27, 2018
The concept behind Microman is simple: Stop worrying about the country’s problems, because they’re not yours to worry about… and live in your own life, socialize with your neighbors, be with your family, and only get involved with politics when you absolutely have to. Focus on you. Focus on the small community… hence Microman.
It’s a great philosophy, and Microman shares my viewpoint on politics… but half of the cartoons weren’t what I expected. I was expecting political cartoons to be funny, witty, and a little sarcastic. These weren’t that entertaining. They had their points, they were interesting, and the characters said some good stuff, but they just weren’t funny… to me anyway. Please know that this has nothing to do with not knowing what politician they’re talking about, or the like. I understood them all, they just weren’t what I expected.
Microman has it’s goods and it’s not-so-goods. Not so good for the reasons I just explained, but good for it’s straight-forward viewpoints on socialism, the community, and the philosophy about living in your life, not your politician’s.

David McK (3880 KP) rated Masters of the Universe (2026) in Movies

Yes, he makes a cameo in this.
Anyway, as they say: what goes around comes around, and we're now back in an era where 80s TV shows (and cartoons) are making a bit of a comeback, with this the most recent example of such.
And, unlike that previous film, large parts of this *do* actually take place on Eternia rather than on Earth. Here, also, Prince Adam is new to his role - he's not the seasoned He-Man of the cartoons or that earlier film, with the first act of this set on Earth after he is sent there as a child (and promptly losing the Sword of Power, his way home) in order to escape from the evil Skeletor.
Who, in my opinion, seems to be in a different (more fun) movie than the rest of the cast.
So what we have, essentially, is an origin story, with large parts of the cast here - and in a change from what I remember of the cartoons - aware of both Adam's (not-so) secret identity, particularly Teela and Man-at-Arms both.
There's also a somewhat amusing reason for how the characters got their names: Ram-man, Mekaneck, etc ...
