Semi random He-Man and She-Ra thoughts...

So, Super7 has revealed their European solution for shipping.
Buy from S.P.A.C.E. which is a German reseller.
"European Customers! We have partnered with S.P.A.C.E. Germany to help make shipping, customs and VAT easier for you. Their sales price is 899 EUR incl. 19% VAT and shipping for customers in Germany and Austria. All other European countries will get a flat upcharge of 35 EUR because of the bulky size of the box - but that´s it. No other hidden charges. This may be a good option for those of you in Europe, so check them out if you get a chance!"
 Yeah, that's... uh OK-ish. They don't have a PayPal, so Euro fans have to pay the old school way...
But nothing on American customers outside the US of A...
Canadian?  No info...
Mexican? No info...
Dominican? No info...
Agrentine? No info...

Not counting Asian, African and Aussie folks. What about those?

The last Huge question I have is:
Am I Domestic US? Or am I International?
I need answers for myself and the rest of the non-US and non-European customers...

Noelle Stevenson's pop cultural appropriations of She-Ra returns for the last third of Season 1... or how Netflix calls it "Season 3". And it will have a purple Grace Jones... played by a white woman!!!

I kmow, right? After all their talk about diversity this, and diversity that, they chose a white woman for a character who is clearly based on a person of color... HOW DARE THEY!?  Here I thought they were MEGA WOKE!

An Academy Award Winner in a guest role... This is even more gimmicky than a 1980s Mattel toyline...
They could have given that spot to a woman of color.
Cree Summer, Brenda Crichlow, Kimberly Brooks, Regina King, or a new talent would've been better than getting a white woman..

While yes, I am mocking them for their hypocrisy, you have to admit that I do have a point.  They were the ones throwing the whole diversity card left and right and now when they had the chance to prove it, well they fumbled...

Yes Geena Davis will most likely do a decent job with the dreck given to her... but this still feels like another desperate gimmick in order to stay relevant.

OK, look at this pic...
Can you tell me what that is supposed to be?
No? You know with those mountains, crowned with a skull cave and the guy with a horse... Seriously you don't know what that is?
Allegedly that is some concept art for Castle Grayskull...
How the hell do you go from this:

To generic pirate skull cave thingy?
How hard is it to take a giant score and make a castle around it? Dear dumbass filmmakers there's a few things that you do not change when adapting He-Man...
Castle Grayskull is one of these. Or at least the outside of Grayskull.   The inside is fair game since it's known as The Fortress of mystery and the power so really signs you know they can go crazy and there but outside it needs to look iconic.

Hell even the 1987 movie one looks more Grayskull-y than Pirate skull cove...
Seriously when you make the 1987 movie Castle Grayskull look more like Castle Grayskull than your own concept you have failed at life...
Before I get attacked with torches and pitchforks hear me out! The drawing is beautiful but as a representation of Castle Grayskull, well that's a horrible failure! Hopefully this was a rejected concept...

Do. Not. Fix. What. Is. Not. Broken. Sheesh!
