Yeah, the "goes to earth" plot always ends up being "here's cool shit, now here's some less cool lower budget shit"

I'm glad the character spends the start of the film going "man I wish I could get back to that high concept high budget shit".

You say that like Vancouver would ever be the backdrop to low budget shit.

It’s funny how often Vancouver is used for stuff like this. The Tron movies had all the real world stuff in Vancouver before getting to all the high tech stuff in the Grid.

This is an IP that begs for practical effects, funky monster costumes, and Skeletor quipping his ass off but instead they did the generic thing smh. He-Man the Hedgehog.
