I personally think the show looks terrible and has a terrible premise to it. Though, that being said, I still think it will be popular with kids. The toys look better than I thought, so that too could be the saving grace.

To elaborate that - The plans for the unproduced third season saw Hordak (do not confuse with vintage wimp) returning from his exile, taking Eternia and thus forcing everybody else into underground rebellion. Now THAT would've been a twist for the show.
what about teenagers like me? teens watch cartoons too.Thenedain wrote:I'm gonna say Hot. I think people who assume this is going to be a strictly kiddie show just because it looks that way will be in for a surprise. If there's one thing about Cartoon Network 'originals', they usually end up with a surprising amount of depth simply because they tend to recognize that even adults watch cartoons. Nearly all their 'originals' end up with tons of little nods to the adults in the audience. I think this one has potential to be the first really big breakout TF cartoon since G1.

Style does not denote age. And from the intricacies shown here, the back log of info put into this shows an adherance to all walks of age. A good writer does not need to resort to gritty shock value to be 'adult.'
Titans had a rape episode among other adult nods, Animaniacs was full of adult humor, and even Foster's or JLU had pure adult implied moments.
Which of those is a direct 'adult' toon not aimed at kids?
Yet are still highly entertaining to adults, while having adult stories within the context of what looks like a simplistic 'child's story'.

A lot of the issues MOTU had was the way Mattel handled the property. They created little to no brand awareness with kids and it was pretty much doomed from the beginning.
Hasbro, for all it's faults, does a hell of a lot better job at marketing toys than Mattel in my opinion. I don't think there will be any lack of effort on Hasbro's part to correctly market this new property and create awareness.

In the 2002 series, Hordak was an ancient warlock/warlord who managed to "create" Skeletor (in a way) even from extradimensional exile.
