I had wondered where you went but I'm glad you're doing well. I can't believe that this is available! I've had the issue of ToyFare where you talked about this on my magazine shelf for quite some time and have always dreamed about reading this. I'll be checking it out Asap!<br /><br />Thank you, sir!Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21161535.post-21349611023644992642013-09-15T09:43:07.009+02:002013-09-15T09:43:07.009+02:00Emiliano - you are the voice and curator of MOTU f...Emiliano - you are the voice and curator of MOTU fandom. 4H know that and the longest serving fans know that.<br /><br />Neitlich jumped on your shoulders, assumed your knowledge then proclaimed himself a long time fan.<br /><br />Anyway, that aside, I'm glad you have a great job with Hasbro - one Val will never land with Mattel no matter what his bootlicking level becomes.<br /><br />Also, nice to see Powercon look like a damp squib failure this year, compared to previous years.

Val completely contradicts himself based on what he said directly after the series ended.<br /><br />Does Val know his MTV Geek and Marvel "friends" know all about CrossGen and him not paying people and aren't exactly honest to him? It's kind of silly. He gets gigs coloring because of who he knows (Kentucky... what other famous comic people are from there... hmm) and brags about his work online... but anytime his name comes up it is never the quality of his work, it seems all anyone wants to talk about is Emil vs Val and the checks he still needs to cut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21161535.post-50585765954042668502013-08-11T14:31:14.467+02:002013-08-11T14:31:14.467+02:00Seems liked Val still not want face reality...at a...Seems liked Val still not want face reality...at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21161535.post-10187682462758462092013-08-11T11:30:44.714+02:002013-08-11T11:30:44.714+02:00There had to be some damage control after the cens...There had to be some damage control after the censoring on He-Man.org :D<br />But overall, it's a good thing, because he's presenting things differently and not straight out lying. <br />He is basically confirming everything, which is good.<br />Of course, since I'm the usual negative nancy, here is a very contraddicting point:<br /><br />"From what I gather, they did not want the document released so they could avoid having a conflicting canon story debuting while the MOTUC canon was being established. And that's okay. It is their property, after all. So, I won't post or link to the bible."<br /><br />Makes no sense. Because the story was already out there with the 2002 cartoon, and my bible is just an expansion/behind the scene look at that.<br />If Mattel didn't want conflicting stories, why publishing the 2002 DVD the same year MOTUC was launched? ;)<br />Emilianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783958423788743225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21161535.post-16391605888712357882013-08-11T03:45:22.771+02:002013-08-11T03:45:22.771+02:00found this http://www.motula.org/t6642-entrevista-...found this http://www.motula.org/t6642-entrevista-exclusiva-con-val-staples#126822Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21161535.post-86590630977918225592013-08-10T06:36:56.341+02:002013-08-10T06:36:56.341+02:00...Big thanks for posting this!

I enjoyed the MV creations comic immensely, and I think that you were responsible for most of the good stuff in there. I've been waiting to read this for years, and I really like how you've tried to tie it all together. I think this story works WAY better than the MOTUC bios. <br /><br />Anyway, I look forward to the day that Mattel realizes they're idiots, and puts you in charge of MOTU.

Thank you SO MUCH for releasing th...Dear Emiliano,<br /><br />Thank you SO MUCH for releasing this MVCreations series Bible !<br /><br />I read it all, and I must say that I'm very pleased with it ! At least, it creates a CONSISTENT STORY and gives LOGICS to events, places, characters and timelines !<br /><br />It is certainly a MUCH BETTER story than the one being told through the MOTUC bios...<br /><br />I was also happy to learn about the Unnamed One (Nordor). I'm curious to know whether Toyguru kept the same story for this character, or changed the whole plot and character...<br /><br />Finally, I can only feel contempt fo people coming here to complain about your opinion about Val Staples and Scott Neitlich (Toyguru). You have very valid reasons to be angry with them, as do some of the fans. He-Man.org has turned into a boot-lickers club where censorship is now the rule. I also fins very pathetic that people feel the need to come here (of all places !) to try to promote the 2014 sub. This is normally Matty and Toyguru's job !<br /><br />Anyway, thank you very much Emiliano for posting this bible! It was a very untesring piece to read, and I even think this could be a good background for movies scripts...

I MUST point out that the whole He-Ro learning lessons was what I loved the most. I know it's a nod to filmation, but I miss the 'moral lessons' from the 80s. (I get my fill of lessons with a Cartoon for Little Girls from Hasbro, but having them in MOTU stuff make them more special to me.)<br /><br />Neftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076491811170083524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21161535.post-36094471963093294982013-08-03T11:11:53.122+02:002013-08-03T11:11:53.122+02:00LOL, I can understand disagreeing on talking bad a...LOL, I can understand disagreeing on talking bad about Val, but asking Why?

If anything some of the other users there are pretty negative from time to time, but I've always found the staff to be pretty good. Val personally helped me and many other fans out back about a decade ago to get ahold of the 200x Keldor. The RGD is a lot of fun, sure they get carried away and silly sometimes, but it's a fan podcast so no big deal. And the guy making fun of Val's appearance, what are you, in 3rd grade? That's just juvenile. Emil and Val are both huge fans and great talents, and like him or not Scott is a guy who has done a lot of positive for the brand. It's a shame there can't be a reconciliation here. Anyway, support the line, sub up for 2014!

Everything h...Personally, I've never liked Val. Everything he does rubs me the wrong way. I never go to the org anymore. Between him and the moderators, the fun has been sucked out of it. I can't even do the RGD podcast anymore either. Between his stupid cat meowing (which is NOT funny) and the uncomfortable laughing by the other three like it is to the changing of opinions to fit Val 's ideas. That happens often. Here's an example: lets say Danielle ( but they all do it. I'm not picking on her) says for like three what she believes about a certain topic to be true. Then Val will disagree and give a few seconds worth of rebuttal to which she will immediately change her opinion and say he's right. They're afraid to disagree with him. Sometimes, I even get the feeling he's tired of talking about MOTU and changes the subject to something that has nothing to do with the brand, like his dumb cat.<br />Also, he looks like my forth grade teacher Sister Grace. I'm not kidding. I first saw his face a few moths ago when they shot video of him in Germany. I immediately called my wife into the room and said, "who does this look like you?" She was like, "Oh my God! Sister Grace".<br /> If he truly has any friends, they need to tell him to cut his hair. He looks like an old nun. <br />So, in summation, from his ridiculous hair to his utter ruining of the org and obsequious dedication to Scott, I can't understand how this guy has any followers or people willing to defend him left.<br />Keep up the good work, E.<br />People know who the real super fan is. The dude that said your picking on Val is getting old or whatever is probably Val anyway. <br />Go pet your cat, Val.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21161535.post-83847247919306888652013-08-01T11:11:47.850+02:002013-08-01T11:11:47.850+02:00Its great to finally read this so thanks for posti...Its great to finally read this so thanks for posting it.

Only have an objection: I believe that King Grayskull as concept and as a character was very interesting and his episode was perhaps the most interesting of the 200X series and was connected very well with the barbaric past (both fictional and editorial) of He-man. He-Ro on the other hand not so much. I mean the guy is a wizard and he doesn't even have any ressemblance with He-man. So in my opinion, it works better keeping He-Ro and King Grayskull as seperate characters (somehow like Merlin and King Arthur or Gandalf and Aragorn). At the same time He-Ro could remain an ancestor of He-man making his daughter/son being married with one of King Grayskull's descendents and reuniting the two boodlines. Also i think that the Green Goddess and Teela would work better as seperate entities without interfering with Teela's destiny as Future Sorceress/Queen of Eternia. But this off course is only my point of view.
