He-Man the character, or He-Man the show?
Pretty sure Smith meant the latter, and the show fits the bill. It's also only half finished, and Adam was only dead for a few episodes in there.
I went to watch it looking to get a gutpunch of nostalgia, and that's exactly what I got. Speaking as a kid who grew up owning the Castle Greyskull playset and shit. So kindly stop pretending you "speak for the real fans". You speak for yourself. That's it.
