You're assuming that everybody knows it. From what I could tell, that knowledge wasn't very well or widely known. My impression was that Teela didn't know until she was told so by the Sorceress and Evil-Lynn. All of the non-magic users seemed to have no idea that there was a connection between magic and Eternia and that Eternia existed because of magic. All they knew was that there was little magic left in the world and thing were worse off for it, but I don't think that any non-magic user, aside from maybe Man at Arms, knew of the connection and how it affected Eternia.I like the idea as a concept and even said so in my initial post, but given that life wouldn't exist without magic, and everyone knows it, why anyone would denounce it? Then again you raise a good point that he's only using it to attain power, though that still doesn't explain why Teela hates it so much.
It could be that they're borrowing a note from Thor Ragnarok when Odin asks Thor if he's the god of hammers and realizes that he has more power than he ever realized. The dialog is pretty similar with Adam/He-Man saying that the power wasn't from the sword but from within himself. So, maybe by realizing this he unleashes his full power and potential and shows that he's always been much, much more powerful than Skeletor.Not to be a doubting Thomas, but...
He-Man can now "Hulk out" and be Super He-Man?
This trailer seems to make He-Man to be Superman. Not equally matched to Skeletor, but instead FAR superior in strength, agility, and power. I always thought it was a Megatron/Optimus Prime type rivalry, where their individual strengths and weaknesses basically put them almost even with each other.
It's funny you say "Hulks out". When I saw the first trailer a few months ago I thought he looked too much like the Hulk; freakishly large and out of proportion. He should have more of a realistic bodybuilder Schwarzenegger type physique. I get that there's stylistic interpretation but even so he's too monstrous looking I believe.Not to be a doubting Thomas, but...
