MAGA Misunderstands ‘He-Man’ Pronoun Humor, Sparks Outrage

The recent trailer for the live-action adaptation of “Masters of the Universe” sparked significant debate among fans, particularly regarding humor related to the character He-Man. The film, produced by Mattel and Amazon MGM Studios, introduces He-Man, whose real name is Adam Glenn, as a corporate employee navigating modern life. In a notable scene, He-Man’s nameplate displays the pronouns “he/him,” which has led to polarized reactions online.

MAGA Response to He-Man’s Pronouns

Some members of the conservative MAGA community expressed outrage at what they perceive as an infusion of “wokeness” into a beloved franchise. Critics argued that the mention of pronouns is part of a broader trend to normalize gender identity discussions, fueling frustration and accusations of indoctrination.

Online Reactions

• One user tweeted about the implications of He-Man having pronouns: “HE-Man has pronouns now. Because of woke.”
• Another lamented, “These people won’t stop until they ruin everything.”
• Yet another replied, “Incredible that we have reached the point where ‘they gave HE-Man pronouns’ was posted not as a joke, but entirely in earnest.”

Some fans called for a more measured response, reminding critics that “He-Man” itself is a pronoun. One commentator advised, “Do you even hear yourself? His name is literally a pronoun.”

Critics Weigh In

Entertainment critic Richard Newby humorously reflected on the situation, suggesting it might be satire. Others, like John Squires from Bloody Disgusting, highlighted that He-Man’s name inherently serves as a pronoun, emphasizing the humor intended in the portrayal.

Amidst accusations of overreaction, former editor Eric Goldman noted the ironic humor in the outrage, stating that the phrase “They gave He-Man pronouns!” serves as a self-own among critics.

Production Details

The film is set to premiere on June 5, 2024, and marks a collaboration between Mattel and Amazon MGM Studios, a company noted for its ties to various high-profile productions and personalities.

This debate illustrates the complex intersections of pop culture, gender identity, and societal norms, highlighting how even small comedic elements can ignite widespread discussion.
