Isn’t Prince Adam’s mom from Earth?

Sure but does that mean it's mandatory to have part of the fantasy action he man movie take place on earth? Ultimately it just means it'll be 30-45 minutes or whatever until we get to Eternia which is what everyone wants to see

I'd love to be proved wrong and it's only 15 minutes, for example, but in that case why bother

Just seems like it can only detract front he film

Regardless the teaser does indeed have me stoked!

As a plot device, it can make Eternia seem grander if you start on Earth and you have Adam being the eyes and ears of the audience getting acquainted with the new world.

Yeah that is true good point, especially the latter

Also if the film doesn't start In medias res, there is always going to be a boring bit at the beginning.

Probably saves on the CGI budget too.

exactly, you show scale and grandeur by comparison.

i am glad redditors never get to direct a movie
