“Something’s coming, something we may not be able to deter,” said Patrick Stewart’s Professor Xavier. “Before this day is done, we will be faced with an unthinkable decision.”


My mind jumps to "Which universe will live and which universe dies?"

The ultimate decision will be "We'll all live on one united universe." This could be how the X-men and other mutants join the MCU.

Later movies will show the beginnings of Mutant hate as people shun these newcomers that have to live on a new earth/universe

"We don't want them here!"
 
Samurai just spoiled that Adam has been staying on Earth-199999 and that his sword got stolen after he ceased to exist during the blip.

I have to admit, the more I'm seeing of this, the more I'm wanting to see it. It was originally going to a streamer, but I'm leaning towards a solo trip to the theater for it, which I only do for stuff I really want to see. Everything I'm seeing looks like a ton of fun, and after Kubo & The Two Strings, and Bumblebee, I'm pretty confident as Travis Knights skills as a director.
 
Sad news, as former Mattel lead toy designer and co-creator of Masters of the Universe Roger Sweet passed away on April 28 at the age of 91.

Just earlier this year, his wife had started a GoFundMe to help pay for his memory care, as he was suffering from dementia.
The timing makes it especially sad. He was incredibly proud of MotU, and He-Man in particular.

Here is a recording of a panel in his honor at 2019's PowerCon:

That's very sad news, especially since it was so close to the movie coming. Hopefully they'll put some kind of dedication to him at the beginning or end of the movie.

I can't help but notice that in all these behind the scenes and interview videos that we've seen no sign of Jared Leto, which makes me wonder if the people in charge are aware of how controversial he is and are purposefully avoiding bringing attention to him.
It especially stood out with the villains video, you'd think in a video like that they'd want to include the guy playing the main villain.

I mean, he was already controversial when they casted him, and google is free. They knew. Honestly, might be part of the 'free' advertisement. It has people talking about it because of him. Maybe that was part of the deal.
"Jared, you get to be weird as fuck and people will be ok because he's a walking skeleton, and in the previous movie the character was over the top as well. But you can't do promo. Here's a bag of money."
I dunno, I might be cynical.

Yeah, I was thinking that too; it’s not like the Ezra Miller situation, where they went mad during filming of the Flash and created a headache for the studio. I imagine that the low profile for Skeletor in this promo is to keep some surprises for the movie.
 
I guess, it just seems strange that one of biggest names in the cast isn't involved in the promotion at all.
