Recent comments from Travis Knight, director of Amazon MGM Studios’ Masters of the Universe, have prompted new questions about the tone of the film. The first teaser trailer promised a light-hearted romp through Eternia and Earth, with the iconic imagery, dialogue, and characters fans expect. Despite some questionable casting choices and jokes, reactions to the first look were generally positive. That momentum may have taken a hit, however, after Knight described Skeletor as “the embodiment of toxic masculinity.”
