SF was not a watered down version of battle network, simply a other concept, and it was still the same concept than the rest of the serie blue hero fighting evil in a technologically advanced world, purple rival, pink girl, etc. but people think it was suposed to be like battle network and fail at it, it was suposed to be something else from the start, with fight relating more on action and reflexe than strategy. <br />not more of a stretch than going from classic timeline to battle network (actually closer to classic timeline than battle network was).

Yes but..."because no one liked starforce"<br />Yes but no. Here, since they are clearly NOT trying to cash on the popularity of the games to make the show works (and if they where trying, they're hiding it verry well) and have already won they ire of a sizable portion of the game fanbase, so wether or not they're basing it on a popular installement of the game does'nt matter. <br />and since their not trying hard to be faithfull to the game (i'm not saying it's a bad thing, but that's what they're doing), wether or not the hero is fighting against robot or alien does'nt change anything to the dynamic of the show, which judjing by what information they give us is "the hero fight the bad guy in good ol' superhero fashion". for that matter, like you said in you comment, they themselves admited to be taking elements from X and starforce. <br />And since they where going to differenciate themselves from the games, they could have perfectly get rid of the facts that Geo was a emo, that traumatic stuff happened to some characters and that the aliens fuse with people suffering loneliness (because it was'nt with emotional weakness in itself, but specifically with loneliness),and change it into "Alien who whant to take over the world", with omega being the one oposing thoses of it's kind. Good guy fight the bad guy in good ol' superhero fashion. <br />different from the game? yes , but still less than going from classic timeline to where we are now. <br />they are blending elements from the different series, but they're clearly taking classic for base, they could have taken SF. except if they reaaaaally wanted to have rush.<br />Just to clarify, i don't say it's going to be bad. it can be just fine, as someone else commented, it's not going to be a good "adaptation" but it might be a good showAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-88033881114191409182017-04-11T15:48:28.994-05:002017-04-11T15:48:28.994-05:00"you know, the school thing and other things ..."you know, the school thing and other things are why what i'm wondering is why the fluke did they not decide to base it on StarForce?! "<br /><br />Because no one liked StarForce. Not saying it was a bad series, but it was a HUGE departure from the Megaman brand, both in tone and theme, and was overall a water-down version of much more beloved Battle Network series. The franchise is about a robot boy (or some other product of advancing technology) fighting to maintain peace against others of his kind trying to take over the world. SF was about aliens fusing with emotionally weak people to turn them into monsters, with one of this fusions just happening to be more of a jerk w/ a heart of gold than actually evil.<br /><br />There was the Dreamwave comic that used the secret superhero concept with the classic series and it was fair. With MegaBen here, they are trying to bland different elements from the various versions to make something new. So it's no less "Megaman" than X, Legends, ZX, etc. All that really matters is that show is good. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-60309454312520012382017-04-07T19:36:16.542-05:002017-04-07T19:36:16.542-05:00Axl wasn't imported from another continuity, t...Axl wasn't imported from another continuity, though; he was always meant to be an MMX character.<br /><br />At least as far as MM's concerned, Capcom tends to ignore stuff outside of the games, outside of lampooning bizarre '80s US/PAL box arts.

This does not seem to be the case with the new cartoon. So that's why I am more or less OK with the Ruby-Spears cartoon but not this one.<br /><br />I will agree that the new cartoon desperately needs a subtitle. As I mentioned in an earlier comment here, if it were called, Mega Man Aki...Mega Man Next...whatever, I would feel way better about things. But as it stands, it is acting like it is the new/replacement Mega Man even going as far as to include classic Mega Man in the logo as if Aki and Rock are supposed to be the same thing.<br /><br />"Why would the company even consider it to be a sequel to completely unrelated original series? Don't overreact, dood."<br /><br />I dunno, you tell me. They did it with Mega Man X7 when they basically replaced X with Axl, and we all know how that turned out. Given Capcom's track record of bad decisions, I would not say that Mega Man 11 starring Aki would be too far of a stretch for them.<br /><br />"Probably like "Modern" and "classic" Sonic."<br /><br />That would be a bad thing. A really, really, REALLY bad thing. It's hard enough to satisfy fans of particular series, but it only gets worse when those fans start arguing about which version is the "real" one. That is the last thing that Mega Man fandom needs right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-20949830445683247222017-04-06T22:05:06.438-05:002017-04-06T22:05:06.438-05:00This looks so much better than before.

The only thing that would ressurect the franchise would be that capcom make a new game and actually move their ass to advertise it properly (because , yes that's where the problem is, and the reason why ZX "failed" is that, not one of the many excuse they give, because they suck at comunication, but that's another debate and let's not get into it).<br />especially true if the show is not following the continuity of the games. a show directly based on the games could act as a advertisement for them, but if it's a different show altogether, you have few chance that people got interested in the game trough it (some people will, but it will not be a majority). it will sell toys based on the cartoon to the kids who will watch it, but that's it.
