We have some sad news to report. We were notified about 7 hours ago that Roger Sweet died this morning on Masters of the Universe Day, at the age of 91. Roger Sweet was one of the legendary creators behind the vintage “Masters of the Universe” brand. Roger Sweet Most notable for coming up with the name “He-Man” among many other great contributions, Roger Sweet's health recently took a turn for the worse earlier in the year, so much so that his wife Marlene Sweet started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Roger's medical bills. Marlene and Roger Sweet The outreach and support…

Well I'm the first one to post in this forum, so I'm just gonna say this
One of the architects of our childhoods.
A dedication is not only a respectful thing to do, but a necessary tribute to one of MOTU's founding fathers.
I agree... both Sweet and Taylor deserve a memorial in the film.
Good Journey, Roger.

I am so sad to hear of the recent passing of Roger Sweet (the creator of Masters Of The Universe and by extension Princess Of Power, New Adventures Of He-Man and later parts of the franchise). It is these wonderful creations that not only inspired my love for fantasy and science fiction but also helped shape my lifelong ideology regarding equality and humanity in a world without hateful bigotry and learning to be kind to others. His legacy will not be forgotten, by myself or other fans. Another reason to watch the new movie in June, to keep the magic and lessons learned in my heart forever.🥹😍

Roger, you were one of the greats. I'm sorry that you had to spend your later years fighting for credit. You didn't deserve that. Rest in peace.
R.I.P. I meet Roger at a Power-Con. He was very nice. I thought the same of Mark Taylor when I met him. I always thought it was a shame that they had a feud. They both deserve credit for being the fathers of MOTU. I agree with dedicating the movie to them.
I was saddened to learn of the passing of the iconic Roger Sweet, to whom all MOTU fans owe a huge debt of gratitude.
I was fortunate to have had a table next to Roger's at a con a number of years ago. He was doing fine at the time and I enjoyed chatting with him and reliving memories.
He will be missed...greatly. (:

We talked about this before didn't we. There are certain "leaders" in this community that befriended Mark Taylor and then jumped on the bandwagon that Roger was a leech off his credit. Nothing could be further from the truth. Taylor's novel idea of a fantasy barbarian in the days of prerecorded history wasn't novel at all. That was literally Robert E Howard's Conan created 40 years before. Torak was a pastiche and it's about time that Roger is celebrated as much as Mark.
RIP
