His head is a giant egg. <br /><br />The robot masters look decent and I'm hoping for toys of those" because toy companies pump out less then ten characters and most of those are mega man in some form. <br /><br />But the biggest sin is changing this from super fighting robot to school kid, ben tenn 2.0. Why? Mega Man isn't human, he's an advanced android. Why change his name to Aki Light. If they were gonna pull the human school kid angle crap, they woulda been better off doing an adaptation of Battlenetwork.Leave a Whisperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191036459451626997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-39114649224173444052017-05-27T08:23:36.133-05:002017-05-27T08:23:36.133-05:00Liking the cartoon is not a test of whether you ar...Liking the cartoon is not a test of whether you are a real Mega Man fan or not. (Technically this cartoon isn't really Mega Man anyway since Aki Light is apparently not the same character as Rock.) For me, I just think that Capcom could have made better decisions than this. Personally, I would rather see Capcom use their money to hire IntiCreates to make another ZX game instead of paying people to make this atrocity. Actually, I would be OK with Capcom having these people make a ZX cartoon and toy line if it meant that we got a new ZX game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-65759158318833696702017-05-26T21:14:05.103-05:002017-05-26T21:14:05.103-05:00@MegaMac

I guess that's OK in the context of Capcom's bottom-line, but THE SERIES NEEDS AS SUBTITLE. The Ruby-Spears series tried to fit into the existing Mega Man universe for the most part, and it was OK to call it simply "Mega Man" in my opinion because the series didn't change the existing Mega Man formula too much. However, this new series is changing everything, and it needs some way to distinguish itself from the existing Mega Man continuity. I mean, even though Sega has a track record of making really bad decisions, they were observant enough to realize that Sonic Boom was different enough that it should not be called "Sonic the Hedgehog". I wish Capcom was similarly astute. The one thing that would be a real slap in the face though would be if Capcom made a *game* based on this new series and called it "Mega Man".<br /><br />Anyway, we'll see how long this drags on before Capcom scraps it. They have a short attention span when it comes to new IPs, so I would be really, really surprised if it lasted longer than a season or two. Regardless, I can't foresee people looking back on this new series and speaking too favorably about it. The big question is whether people will think that it is worse than the Ruby-Spears series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-90291362469758502352017-05-24T16:48:42.259-05:002017-05-24T16:48:42.259-05:00Even though I'm skeptical of this series being...Even though I'm skeptical of this series being good, what you're saying isn't terribly different than the people that disliked the Archie Comics. Different forms of the franchise appeal to different people, and even if we don't like it, that doesn't mean it won't have its own fans. So I'd say that instead of wishing it fails, we should instead wish it succeeds. <br /><br />After all, even if the series isn't the best in the world, it might still encourage kids to look up more about the rest of the franchise and generate interest that way. Neither wish will affect the real outcome, so might as well look at the positive side of things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766546819744781733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-88503382013143494132017-05-24T16:18:54.236-05:002017-05-24T16:18:54.236-05:00@Anonymous #2:
