Why Is Masters of the Universe: Revelation So Divisive Among He-Man Fans?

Chris Wood as He-Man/Prince Adam in Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021)

As for the arguments of SJW-ism because the lead ends up being Teela, sorry, you don't cast Sarah Michelle Gellar to play supporting. But in all seriousness, Smith is someone who appreciates strong women, but also characters who end up in the background. His focus on those who were inspired by He-Man/Prince Adam feels like something he would be excited to do. It isn't "SJW." That is just Kevin Smith.
