The arrow's turn, the swords rebel, let nothing pierce this mortal shell!
Three suns aligned pour forth thy light and fill the archer's bow with might!
I rather enjoyed Visionaries although the premise needed a bit more oomph to it, especially with the bullshit about them needing to recharge their hologram spells after every use.

Its not Jem, I mean I didn't watch it much, but this totally deviates from its name sake.
Haven't these studios watched Marvel?
Take the source material, stay true to it and the nostalgia will make you a ton of money.
I mean you can literally have a billion dollar franchise with He-Man, Jem or any of these decent cartoons from the 80s if you just don't do a hack job like this.
Its like TMNT, sure they made money, but they went for the quick fix instead of making something amazing that will continue the legacy. No one will watch the last TMNT movie a decade from now. Same with GI Joe and Transformers.
They need to stop squandering these opportunities.

This cartoon was dogshit. Anyway, I can't see most 40 year old women being interested in this awful movie even if it was faithful to the source material.
I'll admit to liking the theme tune as a kid but I never went past the credits.
The 80's were theme tune gold.

I never liked the cartoon but I watched a producer talk about making the cartoon a movie because it was difficult or a challenge. Is this the same producer/director?
Why do studios buy rights and then slaughter the source material? it never seems to work

If Matthew Vaughn or Brad Bird yes. Just because the source material sucks doesnt mean it cant be awesome. Kickass comic sucked but Vaughn mad that movie great
That wasnt my point, why did they buy the rights to the cartoon when its not even close to the source material

Well it's come and gone ...
This movie did so terribly that Universal is pulling it from theaters after 2 weeks

So I went and saw Bridge of Spies on the weekend that this movie was released. There was a group of preteen girls lined up to see this, with a couple mothers in tow.
Jem was playing in the theater next to Bridge of Spies. I got up to take a piss during the movie, about 40 minutes in, and saw the group leaving out the back.
