`He-Man` Creator Roger Sweet Dead at 91

> Though the character continued to be remembered fondly and rebooted frequently, Sweet, like many creators, never saw much of the money from its success. In February 2026, shortly after the trailer for a $200 million Amazon-backed reboot was released, Sweet’s wife launched a GoFundMe to cover her husband’s dementia treatments. Unable to continue living at home, the 91-year-old was moved to a care facility, which cost over $10,000 a month and wasn’t covered by Medicare. TMZ reports that Mattel donated $5,000 to the cause, while the fundraiser went on to raise more than $93,000, shattering its $50,000 goal.

RIP

I hope he got to see the new movie before he passed. RIP
