As a big a part of my childhood MOTU was, I just don't see how they can get this right. Everyone in Hollywood seems to want to make this a joke or parody kind of like so many 70's/80's live-action shows turned comedies. Now I'm not saying this has to be dark and gritty like Nolan's Batman Trilogy or recent DCU, but a decent action/adventure movie would be nice. The 2002-2003 Animated series I think is the single best interpretation of MOTU we've ever had, with the decent DC Comic series as a close second (though I think that would play way too dark for a film) , thus the 2002-2003 animated series is my best reference.
But with all the changes in studio, and no one seemingly willing to commit, I honestly don't think there is anyone in Hollywood right now who has enough passion or knowledge about this property to do it right. I really don't want to be a downer, but I'm not looking forward to this at this point, hopefully I might be surprised and like what I see in time. But announcing a release date in 2 1/2 years with basically nothing in place just seems way far-fetched to me.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
