To Be Hero

Uncle is a rough around the edges single dad with a soft heart, known for a shabby look and an odd hobby of decorating restrooms. He’s divorced and lives with his daughter Min, who aces both classes and sports. One day a ridiculous mishap happens when he’s sucked into the very toilet he just finished using, catapulting him into a mission to save the planet. The price of heroism is steep: his dapper good looks vanish and he ends up as a big, comically clumsy figure. With humor and grit, he must protect Earth while keeping Min safe, proving father and daughter can face epic danger together. They grow up. This setup blends humor with heart as Uncle learns balance.

Created by Li Haoling, To Be Hero debuted in 2016 as an animated comedy action series. It features Wei Chao as X, Liu Xiaoyu as Queen, Chen Zhangtaikang as Dragon Boy, Chang Wentao as Ghostblade, and Jinwen Chen as Johnnies.

To Be Hero stands out for flipping the usual heroic tale on its head with a pratfall filled buddy comedy vibe. The show leans into silly sight gags and over the top action, delivering fast jokes that land with fans of animated humor. The style and timing sparked online chatter.

Reception notes that the show blends family warmth with rapid action and humor. The central idea of a flawed dad turned unlikely hero explores identity and responsibility while keeping Min's drive and resilience at the core. It pairs clever visuals with steady pacing. That blend makes it feel fresh today.

Awards: There are no widely reported nominations for To Be Hero. The absence of formal recognition makes the show a niche pick for viewers seeking offbeat humor and animated action rather than award season prestige. Fans worldwide continue to discuss it.
