Additional Context:
The backlash against Kevin Smith's "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" primarily stems from fan expectations regarding the role of He-Man in the series. When the series was announced and during its promotion, Kevin Smith indicated that it would focus heavily on He-Man. This led fans to expect a show centered around their favorite character, akin to the original "Masters of the Universe" series from the 1980s.

However, upon the show's release on Netflix, it became apparent that the narrative was significantly different from what many fans expected. The series starts with a dramatic twist in which He-Man and his nemesis, Skeletor, seemingly get killed off in the first episode. This narrative shift places Teela, a character from the original series, in the protagonist role for much of the first half of the season.

This change in focus led to a divide among the audience. While some viewers appreciated the fresh take and deeper character development, others felt betrayed, claiming that the show was not what had been promised. The phrase "Kevin Smith lied" became a rallying cry among disappointed fans, with some accusing him of deceiving them about the show's true nature. They felt that the marketing and Smith's statements led them to believe that He-Man would be the main character, which was not the case in the episodes released.

In response to these accusations, Smith pointed out that the original "Masters of the Universe" also included storylines where He-Man wasn’t the central character. He also hinted that He-Man would play a more significant role in future episodes of the series. Smith addressed the backlash by stating that it is challenging to please a fanbase that is both conservative and nostalgic, wanting a carbon copy of the original show.

Clownfish TV played a significant role in the controversy surrounding Kevin Smith's "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" by being one of the early sources of speculation about the show's direction, particularly regarding the focus on characters other than He-Man. This speculation eventually led to a direct interaction with Kevin Smith, which heightened the drama.

Before the release of "Masters of the Universe: Revelation," Clownfish TV, a YouTube channel known for its commentary on pop culture and entertainment news, claimed to have an inside scoop on the reboot. They suggested that the new show might sideline He-Man in favor of other characters, particularly Teela. This claim contributed to the growing speculation and concern among fans that the series would not be as focused on He-Man as they had hoped.

Kevin Smith responded directly to Clownfish TV's claim on Twitter, dismissing their speculation. In May 2020, he tweeted that their series was "LITERALLY all about He-Man," contradicting Clownfish TV's suggestion. This public denial added to the expectations among fans that He-Man would indeed be the central character of the show.

However, when the series was released and it became clear that Teela had a more prominent role than He-Man, especially in the first half of the season, Clownfish TV's earlier speculation appeared to be validated. This led to accusations that Kevin Smith had misled the public about the show's content, with some fans demanding that Smith apologize to Clownfish TV for dismissing their claims. The interaction between Clownfish TV and Kevin Smith thus became a focal point in the wider controversy, as it highlighted the tension between fan expectations, promotional messaging, and the actual content of the series​​.
