    He-Man back to Netflix November 23

    It is unknown if Kevin Smith’s He-Man Revelation series will get a second season, but the second half to the first season premieres November 23rd 2021..

    For better or worse…

    The first five episodes were somewhat controversial among fans—both new and old. A number of people felt that the Kevin Smith re imagining took the series far distant from where the 1980s show started..

    But in fairness he wanted to do that.. 

    There were rumors and accusations that Kevin Smith was “woke“ in the series, some thing he vehemently denied in a number of videos on his own social media accounts…

    The main beef that anyone appeared to have was how He-Man was pushed aside during the first five episodes.

    The toy line for Revelations doesn’t seem to be doing so hot when compared to the new for 2020 and 2021 toys of the original He-Man toy line..

    Previews indicate that the next several episodes to conclude season one will bring he-man back in some heroic battle. At least that’s what the trailers would make it appear, we will know for sure within hours when Netflix drops the final five…

    On the radar: Kevin Smith shooting a horror moving titled Kilroy was here

    On the radar: Kevin Smith shooting a horror moving titled KILLROY WAS HERE.. Some of the filming took place at a Florida college..

    A little bit of history about KILLROY WAS HERE: The phrase “Kilroy Was Here” originated in American culture as graffiti during World War II as a bald-headed man with a big nose peeking over a wall with the fingers of each hand clutching the wall. Smith said the new film will be the first installment of a horror anthology.. Even more: Author Charles Panati says that in the United States “the mischievous face and the phrase became a national joke… 

    The outrageousness of the graffiti was not so much what it said, but where it turned up.”[2] The major Kilroy graffiti fad ended in the 1950s, but today people all over the world still scribble the character and “Kilroy was here” in schools, trains, and other public areas. It is believed that James J. Kilroy was the origin of the expression, as he used the phrase when checking ships at the Fore River Shipyard in Massachusetts during WWII..

    I would love to hear if anyone knows anything further about the phrase..

    Fascinating..
