Supermen also cry

From the mid-eighties animated series to the contemporary version, we have accompanied Prince Adam on different adventures, always adapted to the audience of the moment. Travis Knight's proposal, more focused on the fantasy universe than the 1987 one —which solved a tight budget by placing most of the action on Earth—, focuses on the protagonist's identity crisis. After being forcibly exiled from Eternia at ten years old, and living for almost two decades trying to fit in with the human species, Adam finds the sword that allows him to return home. There he meets not only Teela, a childhood friend who functions more as a buddy than a potential romantic interest, but also a host of ghosts from the past that he will have to face if he wants to make his planet a habitable environment.With self-awareness and humor as weapons and a generational update of the superhero, this new He-Man leaves behind the security of knowing his destiny to approach the usual conflicts of the new viewer. The quest for power becomes an introspective journey where doubt and fluctuation lead the way, a journey in which the character embraces the opportunity to ask himself who he is and, above all, who he wants to become. In this collective party that is He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, diversity is the norm and sensitivity a language to discover. Who says the most powerful man in the world can't wear a kitten sweatshirt?
