Tim Sheridan created quite a controversial stir, one that didn’t do so well for DC Comics with his plea to buy his gay Alan Scott Green Lantern book to “own the bigots” in late 2023. Many fans wondered how he arrived in a position to write books like this for DC Comics, and in a recent interview, he revealed he’s one of the co-writers, now promoted to producer, of Kevin Smith’s Masters Of The Universe: Revelations, which fans universally criticize for making a show about Teela instead of He-Man. Tim Sheridan defends those choices by attacking fans as trolls.
The Alan Scott Green Lantern series has been an embarrassment for DC Comics. The first issue of the series was a full gay love letter to his homosexual partner, showing multiple pages of men without shirts on cuddling each other and implying sodomy. It ends issue #1 by teasing that Alan Scott will receive electroshock therapy in issue #2.

The therapy didn’t help matters, as Alan Scott Green Lantern is seen in issue #3 trolling docks in search of homosexual hookers known as gigolos. Alan Scott shows familiarity with one of these gay hookers where the gay hooker even has a pet name for him, “Scotty.”
Despite Tim Sheridan’s plea to buy the book repeatedly, indications from retailers are that Alan Scott Green Lantern is not selling well. Fans dislike the overt messaging and perversion in their superhero comics and are not interested in reading a gay soap opera as content.
Meanwhile, on Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation, fans and reviewers panned the show to such an extent that it was rumored a He-Man live-action movie was canceled by Netflix because of it.
Tim Sheridan, originally listed as one of the co-writers, has been a part of the show but has now been given a producer role for the second season after the first’s abysmal failure. As fans speculate why the show starred a woman instead of He-Man, Tim Sheridan clarified, stating, “I was one of those kids who was terrified to say I wanted figures of She-ra when I was a kid.”
He elaborated, “I didn’t quite know that I was gay at that point.”
The hiring practices of Hollywood, and in this case, Kevin Smith, shows why so many beloved properties have been memed as “put a chick in it and make it lame and gay,” a reference to a recent South Park special mocking Kathleen Kennedy.
Tim Sheridan also defended Masters of the Universe: Revelation, “Kevin’s original title for the show was Masters of the Universe: end of the universe. And the reason for that was because he felt, and I think he was right, I think, unfortunately, we had to go through it with revelation to get revolution. But it was about deconstructing the whole thing.”
‘We needed to go through the deconstruction and rebuilding of that in order to have revolution,” he added of the Kevin Smith show.
Reflecting on the reception of the series, Tim Sheridan shows his Hollywood entitled attitude. He claimed the majority of critical responses to Masters of the Universe: Revelation were “trolls who really didn’t care about it who wanted to make noise about it.”
As he talked about what occurred with reaction, he made it clear he wasn’t listening to those responses, saying, “It got conflated with the legitimate criticisms of the real fans.”
He maintains that Kevin Smith is doing a great job on this and other projects, which, of course he says as Kevin Smith is his boss. On Kevin Smith’s interest in He-Man and Masters of the Universe, Tim Sheridan said, “I have never met someone who is as devoted and generous and as smart, and is fast [at writing].”
While most of the interview was dedicated to talking up Tim Sheridan’s career as a writer, it seems he is responsible for feminizing and turning characters gay through his work for his self-insert agenda, much like a lot of modern narcissistic Hollywood and comic professional writers.
Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe season 2 is getting a better reception so far, as they’ve backed off a lot of those elements that upset fans in the first season. It seems they got the message from fans, despite Tim Sheridan’s downplaying of the comments. Still, the entire series is not complete as of yet, and his interview does not bode well for the series if he’s the one in charge.
What do you think of Tim Sheridan’s comments on Kevin Smith’s Masters of the Universe: Revelation? Leave a comment and let us know.
I think this “article” is poorly researched and clearly a smear piece directed at Sheridan. The author makes multiple claims of poor comic sales, poor show performance, and a canceled MOTU film in an attempt to discredit Sheridan, Smith, and Revelation/Revolution. Despite these claims of failure, the author fails to produce a single citation of evidence to support their claims.
The reality of the situation is that Sheridan’s GL book has sold out consistently and has been highly reviewed by LEGITIMATE news outlets. Revelation performed well enough to justify a 2nd season getting greenlit by Netflix (that’s why Revolution exists… Revelation did well, so Revolution was approved). The MOTU film cancelation at Netflix had nothing to do with the animation series, just as the CGI He-Man series was a separate project. This is all a matter of public record… anyone can look this information up online. It’s not difficult to do actual research.
The truth is that “articles” like this are poorly veiled attempts by the professionally offended who feel the need to generate fake outrage by publishing bogus information in an attempt to generate page clicks. It’s tabloid trash, it’s yellow journalism, it’s sad, and it’s pathetic.
Your refutation is more vapid & vague than your characterization of this article.
It’s ok, Tim — er, Colt. In a few years, no one will talk about you. All good.
