Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977): 1 line

  1. lineage (origin) · through Masters of the Universe (2026), which they directed: Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope ⇒ Masters of the Universe (the host's read). He-Man (and the 80s toy boom) was a response to every company having passed on Star Wars merchandising.
    “so much of He-Man and the 80s for toys is a response to every major company passing on Star Wars that Star Wars is the whiff that no one can live down.”

Thor: Ragnarok (2017): 1 line

  1. lineage (influence) · through Masters of the Universe (2026), which they directed: Thor: Ragnarok ⇒ Masters of the Universe (the host's read). The movie looks inspired by Ragnarok, which gave executives a template of color, weirdness, and joke tone to copy.
    “And it speaks to this movie feels very, um, inspired by Thor Ragnarok to me.”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Travis Knight: The director is Phil Knight's son, was given an animation studio, turned it into Laika, and once had a failed rap career, which the speaker thinks suits He-Man's too-perfect hero.
    “He had a failed rap career.”
