Adam was forced to pretend to be the lazy screw up to protect his secret. Its like Clark Kent pretending to be clumsy or Bruce Wayne pretending to be a playboy. But Adam was always, at his core, the same heroic character as He-Man. Thats why he was given the sword in the first place. The new show just completely doesnt understand that. Like I said before, the episode where hes in heaven completely undermines his character in every way. Adam never would seek a reward, would never hesitate in giving it up, and would always answer the call of people in trouble. Here, Adam isnt hiding his heroic personality, he straight up doesnt have one. Like I said before, when Grayskull said, this is your reward Adams immediate response should have been, I never did it for a reward. Instead he just sort of wanders through the portal like, oh geez.

Clunker is talking about Adam's character here, not whether he had muscles because he could fight. Adam is Steve Rogers before the supersoldier serum. He was given the sword because of the strength of his convictions and his character.
