He-Man
Masters of the Universe: Revelation had its issues by the end, but you can’t deny that He-Man was a master of 2021. The character was revitalized in not one but two shows—Kevin Smith’s aforementioned “sequel” series to the ‘80s cartoon, and the kid-targeted He-Man and the Masters of the Universe—both of which had their high points and brought the hero back into the limelight. The latter show, especially, looks like it might make a new generation of fans which is no small feat for a show starring a character whose name is “He-Man.” Here’s hoping for more Masters in 2022.
