Part 7/11:
Kevin Smith, the creator of Revelation, has publicly defended his work, asserting that fans "don't understand the show" and emphasizing his deep understanding of the source material. Critics argue this dismisses long-standing fan attachments and dismisses their valid critiques. Smith also claimed that the series was a deliberate creative choice, based on his vision for He-Man—yet many see this as a missed opportunity to respectfully reboot the franchise.
The series' marketing strategy further exacerbated tensions. By emphasizing He-Man in trailers and promotional materials but then shifting focus, it created expectations that were ultimately unfulfilled, leading to accusations of manipulation and bait-and-switch tactics.
