Shiny Golden Skeletor is hilarious but they're wasting a tremendous opportunity here, they should have had him delivering a completely unhinged monologue during this entire fight scene instead of just having him spout belligerent one-liners.

(Yes, yes, I should have worked "a golden opportunity" into that sentence, give me a break)

notice that Skeletor's plan goes wrong when he stops being goth

Julie's mother is back from the dead! Channelling a bit of Stanislaw Lem's Solaris now?

(edit: yes, yes, of course it's Evil-lyn, we all know)

Why does everyone keep calling Gwildor a worm? He doesn't really merit that particular label, I think. More... shrew-like?

We're 16 minutes in and we know what Skeletor wants, who he considers to be his enemies, and how he intends to achieve his goals. That's pretty good leadership from a technical perspective! Still waiting to see how our merry band of misfits here measures up.

I never knew there was an after credits bit! That's awesome! Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting as always! Yay!

β€œI’ll be back.” Oh Frank. If only. You were awesome. You could have had a whole ironic Jack Palance self-parody career. Imma go back and watch your Dracula now.

As bad as that movie was, I enjoyed it way more than the veg-men from last week. Similar costumes though, now that I think about it...

There's a clean part of the town that's just empty now. Part of a car, part of a building, the smell of burnt hair..

Evil magic wound could be healed with penicilin. But, okay.

The piles of dead bodies will keep the medical examiner busy for a long long time. Since none of them are exactly human.

Bald cops in the 80s always smoked when they were illegally in somebody's girlfriend's parents' house

We've killed the LG Microwave, sir. Just a button, just like the manual said.

The penalty for failure is waiting around for the next episode, or, being vaporized, fleh. Either way.

Let's just hope that the Cosmic Key doesn't fall into the dastardly grip of Depeche Mode, huh!?!

You see, the thing about action is that the audience doesn't really need to keep track of where things are relative to each other in the scene.

Ok, so when you're adapting a fantasy property and have no idea what to do, even though kids JUST WANT TO SEE THE CHARACTERS DOING WHAT THEY ALREADY DO IN THE TV SHOW, you traditionally pull the ridiculous fantasy hero into the real world

You do this for cheap sets but also the cheap joy of a huge muscleman in a fur loincloth and cape at the mall saying "this is what you humans call... a twisty cone?"

This movie didn't have a single moment of that

@pixelstick This movie WAS a winner. At least, it's the best thing that happened to me this week.

Another in the can. This one was nostalgic for me yet still burned with that sweet, sweet bad movie mojo.

Keep this, and Eternia will always be near, or, hair loss, sterilization, and endless choices of cake or death.
