Uncharted movie delayed and He-Man is back to development hell.

That move was unexpected... and as Heinz Doofenshmirtz would say: By unexpected I mean completely expected!!
Yes, Sony has pushed back He-Man... again. Now it's officially TBD.  But then again, it's SONY PICTURES... the ones who screwed up Spider-Man TWICE! Then there's Ghostbusters 2016, Venom and the Upcoming Morbius.

While, yes, Morbius isn't out yet, the movie looks like crap.
And again, it's SONY PICTURES. If Amy Pascal is somehow involved, chances are it'll suck. But back to the original topic. He-Man has been delayed indefinitely.

What does this mean to the brand and Mattel?
Now the two cartoons will carry a lot of weight. He-Man add to an extent Mattel itself depend on them.  No pressure...

In a way I kind of understand Mattel cock-blocking Super 7... what I really don't understand is Mattel cock-blocking all the fans by "eliminating Classics". I'm pretty sure that fans would have bought classic characters based on the new He-Man series and She-Ra characters based on the new-look but in Classics style. The Origins line is not for everybody. Right now Mattel's only hope is that the origins line becomes a huge success with children.  because if the toy line fails bye-bye cartoons. As we saw in 2004 when the Mike Young Productions He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was cancelled.

Let's hope the Netflix rumor Rings true now because otherwise He-Man is in great Danger
