The problem is, Clownfish TV (former industry people) got contacted by somebody who told them exactly thata few months ago and for telling the truth Kevin Smith attacked them.
It is not bait and switch, he was actively going against people who were just telling, what insiders told them. Not lying, not bashing, just the same thing you can now read in the synopsis.
He was using his position to attack people who were just giving along inside information as liars and now he pretends it never happend.

It may end up being a small narrative perspective in the grand scheme of things, in which it begins with the one character driving the story and eventually ends up He-Man's story once the band is back together. Writers have done this in plenty of comics and books and movies.
The risk they run, however, is that when a story is this iconic and headlined his own show in the past, it can come off as pointless and boring to fans. Like, imagine if an entire collection of Witcher stories or an entire season of the show was from Dandelion's / Jaskier's perspective. It wouldn't be terrible as a one off, a short story here, an episode there. But being the entire perspective means it wouldn't really be a Witcher show any longer.
Anyways I didn't watch the cartoon or the movie and don't really know much about any of it so I'll just reserve judgement once it is released.

What synopsis?

I have been Googling for 20 minutes and can't find an official source for that synopsis anywhere. Yes, multiple sites have quoted that synopsis, but there is no link to an official source.
Netflix already edited it down on their own site after the backlash. They really are going to try and last of us 2 this pile of shit.

This reminds me of another Netflix synopsis re-write, Cuties.
Oh I forgot all about that dumpster fire movie. That didn't sink netflix so unfortunately they're definitely here forever.

Until the creators started listening to the criminal insane aka shippers. Like the creators of Korra did.
I have a brilliant idea: let's watch the show or at least wait for full spoilers before jumping to definitive conclusions based on limited and often incomplete information.
Even rumors with a grain of truth are still selective and biased. I wouldn't judge any show based on the synopsis. Those can be either inaccurate at best or outright misleading plenty of times.
And besides, the quality of the series is not going to entirely depend on who is the protagonist, nor whether or not they give someone else something to do instead of the camera following He-Man's actions every second.
My bet is it'll likely go through a "our heroes were seemingly defeated and then they dispersed" story arc before everyone, including He-Man himself, reunites for a new fight. There's no "lie" or heresy in doing stuff like that.

I have another brilliant idea. Let us be free to voice our opinion based on official information provided by Netflix.
You can certainly do that. It definitely isn't brilliant though, especially when some people are even imagining He-Man isn't going to do anything after one episode, which isn't supported in any convincing manner.

This culture war is just stupid. I highly doubt you whinge to your real life friends and family about He-Man and Teela on the Masters of the Universe cartoon show.

Most people don’t fixate on the things they watched as a kid.

20-25 years ago I'dve agreed with you on adults of those days but now?
Honestly I'd like to say "you'd be surprised" but it sounds like it would be more accurate to state "you're going to be disappointed".

Lucky. The most irl convo I'll get is a cousin or someone will send me a text asking if I know ________ is being rebooted followed by me usually saying I heard yeah, and I bet it'll be shit. I think ducktales was the only reboot I was wrong about.

You could've shown me that picture if I didn't know anything about the show, and I would be like: "Who's the dude in the back, above Adam? Is he a new character?
Evil Lynn and Skeletor look great, though.

I don't know I still think we need more confirmation that the show is about Teela.

Well this pict is giving me less hope for the show and Adam's eyebrow color is throwing me off. Seems the rumors are true and Teela is going to be a massive part of the story.

So confirmed to be a Teela show.

Pretty hard to imagine any other outcome at this point. I suppose season 2* could focus on He-Man but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

That's Teela in the back? DId they change the character into a man? I wouldn't have a problem if they did, just asking. It looks nothing like any of the images of Teela from the old cartoon or movie I remember.
Edit: just wanted to point out I didn't watch them as a fan or anything, I saw a few episodes and can remember watching part of the movie with my older brother. But yea that looks nothing like the Teela I remember from by brief exposures

It's Teela's new look. The preview showed her with her "updated" retro look (complete with man-face, her, not a character) but after what I'm guessing is a brief time-skip this will be her new look.

Ah yes, there it is. Dont have expectations or standards, just consume whatever shit the entertainment industry puts out.

There is a slight hope that He-man will have a parallel side quest in his own series involving time travel and both arcs (Tee-la's and He-man's) will be shown.
But all signs show that Tee-la will be the main focus. He-man will be getting some crumbs. The mere fact that he's not part of the main title tells us everything we need to know.

It's a kids cartoon...

The particular series is being advertized as a love letter to the people who grew up with that kids cartoon.
I think the reason I noticed it was that Adam kept reminding me of that Q force netflix show. So I had to google the old show to find out what the original color was(it's suppose to be black). It is still kind of weird that his eyebrows are suppose to be black even though he is blonde.
