Falci: From wikipedia: A sequel to the 1983–1985 Filmation series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Revelation focuses on the unresolved storylines of the original 1983 TV series, picking up many of the characters' journeys where they left off.
And Adam in Revelations is younger and smaller than in Filmation show. Wikipedia and Netflix can say what they want, but logic dictates that the Universe didn't just became dark with the current first episode, it was always dark with events of original now too being darker.

Teela's fears are shown in episode 4, when she faces Scare Glow. That's why I've got that perspective on her actions throughout the series so far.
And? Such scenes happen with many other characters. Batman facing Scarecrow and seeing himself not fitting to be Batman - it's classic. Yet, he is still Batman.

Furthermore, she felt betrayed by her closest friends and father. Those only 4 people were everything for her, her family.
Yes. Keyword here *felt*. In reality, it wasn't a betrayal. If by knowing Adam was He-man she could've prevented his death or change anything, I could understand her blaming them for not telling. But that wasn't the case.

Anyone who has dealt with depression (and I did and sometimes still feel like I do), knows at least a bit
So, have you abandoned your duties (school, job) and your family because of depression?

people claim that it was this ridiculous out of character moment for Luke, but I like the moment because it shows a man struggling desperately with his own status as a legend and feeling unable to live up to it. He's sensing a growing darkness in Ben and can't find a way to stop it.
You telling me that after finding a spark of good inside Darth Vader himself, he decided to kill his nephew seeing him a lost cause based on nothing but some visions?! Yes. This IS ridiculous.

Terry discovers that he's Bruce's son and seeks Amanda Waller to learn the truth.
Ultimately, he comes to terms with the fact that he is not his father and some similar choices, and even inheriting his mantle, didn't mean he wasn't free to make his own and seek his own path in life.

Honestly, never liked that twist. But still, Terry came to terms with it quite fast. He didn't throw a fit and quit being Batman for several years.

I'm terribly sorry for not answering all your points (and you've shown that you're not willing to understand different perspectives in some of them, which is fine), but it's late here and I am quite tired.

But I will comment on these two:

A) There was a moment in my life, years ago, that I was so depressed because of my job that I struggled to get up and do stuff every day. I literally functioned on autopilot sometimes and didn't find a point at all in my duties. Yes, I could quit, could look for another job, etc, but I had zero energy, zero motivation. I never considered suicide, but, hell, I absolutely understand what drives people into it. So, answering your question: in a way, yes.

B) I'm telling you that a hyper motivated teenager who had just found out his perceived only family left alive is his once-powerful-hero father is a different character than a world weary war veteran living under the shadow of his own gigantic successes, and frustrations that with all his power he can't seem to have the power to do something "as simple" as stop his nephew from turning evil and consequently, another evil empire rising and a new war. Yes, both characters are supposed to be the same person, but there are decades of struggle and experience between them.

If you need a character with similar level of differences between old version and young version, see Johnny Cage in MK11. We get to understand his change better because we got to see it in past games, but it is still a character going through a massive change in personality and way of seeing things.

I'm willing. But only if the "perspective" is logically sound or at least consistent. And I'm afraid, I can't say that about your reasoning for both Luke's and Teela's behavior.

Still, I understand that I can't make you change your mind, so maybe it's time to finish the topic.

A number of movie remakes try to be the original too much and fail. Disney live action/CGI remakes come to mind...

Too much usage of CGI... in general

Usage of Face capturing and CGI (TMNT, trolls in the Hobbit pt 1)

Making something that should be only 1 or 2 parts somehow a trilogy

Not knowing what they should be doing or going and restart the franchise multiple times (Fantastic Four, Spiderman)

Having no plot in mind when purchasing a franchise and royally f***ing it up in the name of diversity (Disney Star Wars)

You know what? About Teela, I'll wait until part 2. Hell, I may be very wrong indeed.

About Luke, I don't know, maybe you're right?

But I don't think it would be unthinkable that the son of a man, who was led to believe he was the most legendary absolutely powerful being in the universe from a young age (and yet be powerless to save his mother), who murdered absolutely everyone and everything he knew and loved, including children, because he had a bunch of bad dreams about his wife and child dying, would consider in any way a valid option to kill the nephew he's being training and nurturing from a young age, because he had a bad feeling the spoiled little brat would turn evil.

And Anakin had all the good teachers and role models, Qui Gon, Obi, Yoda, Mace Windu. They still failed to stop him from going evil. Luke knew his father's story, knew he was failing like his masters failed his father. He was a legend and the most fucking powerful Jedi in the universe and still felt powerless to save his nephew, so, maybe he could save the universe again at the cost of his nephew's life? Maybe? Tempting, right?

I don't know, man, maybe there's a central theme going in there somewhere. Maybe I'm seeing too much where there's very little in all actuality. Who knows?

I think given what we've seen of Luke in the original trilogy it's entirely unthinkable. After everything Vder did, he saw good in him. He refused to strike down even the Emperor himself in anger. And now he would consider killing an as-of-yet innocent kid? No way.

Now, with some skillful writing and enough time it might perhaps be possible to bring Luke to that point. But presenting it to us as a done deal like that? And after they did have a whole previous movie they could have used for that, but instead they wasted it on remaking A New Hope? Nope. Sorry. That's just bad writing.

And now, just for fun, I'll fix the new Masters of the Universe. It's laughably simple, really.
Have what is the first episode be the fifth episode. Start out with four episodes of "normal" He-Man adventures. Establish, for new audience, the status quo before you make a big deal of changing it. Give the long time fans a dose of what they waited for before you pull the rug. Establish why Teela would feel so betrayed. Better yet - have her learn He-Man's identity before the final episode, say in episode 3 or 4, so her tantrum doesn't come at the moment of everyone's grief, making her instantly unlikeable. Instead, if she leaves understandably pissed off before the big battle, she'd have a real arc, fighting her sense of guilt for not being there for the big fight, while the others would have a good reason to feel bad about the secret, since keeping it broke the fellowship at a crucial moment (unlike now, where it didn't really matter). And then you end the first part of the season with He-Man seemingly dead after he and Skeletor had tons of screen time, and intead of a disappointing, rug-pulling premiere you've got a Best of Both Worlds level cliffhanger. There. I fixed your show, Kevin Smith.

nightcraw1er.488: What was the Mortal Kombat film like?
I don't know but the blu-ray is $1.19 in Best Buy in NYC.
If He-Man died and his replacement is a woman, then is the series now called She-Man or He-Woman?

nightcraw1er.488: so I just read a write up, no heman, no skeletor, good and bad side both female. So much for inclusivity, it’s simply swung the pendulum right the other direction.
Its actually worse, because gender probably wasn't something the creators had in mind when they created the original cast, so it can't be said those characters were intentionally made male. But this time, gender probably was taken into consideration and they concluded that they needed female characters. So it could be argued that they focused more on the new characters gender as compared to the original ones'.

Indeed. Well, saves me a bit of time not having to watch it.

Orkhepaj: Again, another series He-Man, where the protagonist was changed to a female after the death of the hero the series should be all about. Or just pushed into the back, not even a support role like Picard.

amok: it is not a He-Man series., but Masters of the Unverse. Teela's first appareance was in 1981 in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series. (notice the 'and' in this title)
are you sure about that?
