I challenge anyone to think of a show with more retarded character names.

I am wondering more why someone thought this was a good idea.

My best guess is the 80's-cartoon watching kids are now of age to be in charge of things.

Another big budget special effects movie to foist onto the infantile international audience and generate trillions in toy sales.

It's an animated series. I guess it'll be similar to their take on Castlevania.

Started second season of Narcos: Mexico. I like Narcos.

I thought it was stupid even back then.

Kevin Smith is doing it, it has a good cast, and it is animated. I mean I probably still won't watch it, but it could be good.

Castlevania was quite watchable. I'm fine with this.

EDIT: That one had Warren Ellis and this one has Kevin Smith, though...

Oh yeah He-Man was cheesy as hell. But they brought back She-Ra so I guess this was inevitable.

Yep. Same with the new Castlevania series and Dark Crystal. Needless to say, I am loving it
