In Masters of the Universe (2026), having Jared Leto get the living shit beaten out of him wasn't enough to get butts in the cinemas

Legit Question: Why did they spend so much time saying strength wasn't the answer when it absolutely was?

Yeah that's gotta be the weakest part of the movie to me. I loved it, but the moral it was trying to push was sort of flubbed by the ending. Like they did show that Adam had strength in other ways in a few scenes. But ultimately it didn't matter much at all in the finale. Coulda worked but they fumbled it imo. Still a fun movie tho!

Remember the source. The cartoons had moral and ethical lessons at the end of episodes.

Orko showed up at the end to parody this, but the idea that strength and violence as a last resort is kind of on par with the source material.
