Conservatives freak out over pronoun joke in new "He-Man" movie trailer - LGBTQ Nation
"Online conservatives are upset that the fantasy action hero He-Man displays "he/him" pronouns in the recently released trailer for the upcoming film Masters of the Universe. Little do they know, some gay fans have long considered He-Man as one of the gayest series of all time. Approximately 37 seconds into the trailer, it's revealed that the royal hero from the planet Eternia now works a desk job on Earth, with a nameplate on his desk that reads, "Adam Glenn He/Him.""
"One X user, Bennett Production, wrote, "God dam woke mind virus is ruining everything....You just f**ked up my childhood memory.... He-Man is not a he/him.....you dumb f**kers. He is a bad a** skeleton fighting son of a b**ch that knows he is a man." The user may be interested to know that English-speaking men (who know they are men) have been using "he" as a masculine pronoun for over 1,000 years."
Actor Nicholas Galitzine stars as Prince Adam/He-Man in the 2026 film Masters of the Universe. The trailer shows He-Man working a desk job on Earth with a nameplate that reads "Adam Glenn He/Him." Conservative commenters on X reacted with outrage, calling the choice evidence of a "woke mind virus" and accusing the film of promoting gender or trans ideology. Some fans note the nameplate is an obvious joke because "he" is part of He-Man's name. Other fans recall that gay and queer-coded interpretations of He-Man and the series have existed for decades, producing mixed reactions.
