And I'm guessing Blues eventually dies of his unstable core, but this leaves Bass pretty much at large still. There's no reason for Wily to have programmed him with the robot expiration date, and he's way too strong to be killed off normally by anything not Light created, so what happened there? any theories?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-45076961883894277612015-12-18T21:35:48.893-06:002015-12-18T21:35:48.893-06:00You're describing opposing visions and ideals ...You're describing opposing visions and ideals of the future regarding humans and robotics, but no explanation as to why, at least for Light. With Wily it's a typical megalomaniacal or transhumanist motivation: to become god-like and surpass mortality. With Light it's more about cooperation and coexistence, but it seems more vague and more prone to problems, which are what we see in the X series going into the Zero series. At least with Wily, you could say he wanted to use them to better humans, but with Light, he wanted them to be friends, which is not necessarily what anyone asked for. The unrest and distrust that we see in the X series between humans and Reploids speaks to this issue. Even the explanation in the Archie comics seems more sentimental than reasonable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-19433395454304048902015-12-18T21:30:41.863-06:002015-12-18T21:30:41.863-06:00Pathetic schlock, but then that's been a hallm...Pathetic schlock, but then that's been a hallmark of Mega Man storytelling. I stopped reading after the line, "X poured his entire soul into one shot that penetrated right through Zero. Zero collapsed…… But then was returned to his former heroic self."<br /><br />But let's talk more about the vague mechanics. What exactly are X's virus counter-measures, and how could Zero plausibly be "exposed" to them? Also, is the virus constrained to a chip, or is it a wireless code vapor? The only plausible explanation is "the virus dies with its host", but then Zero never really died. Lastly, the anti-virus weaponry, which I'm presuming was developed by Lifesaver the same way Doppler developed an anti-body. In both cases it's vague and referred to in biological disease parlance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-47600898413558857692015-12-18T21:04:22.290-06:002015-12-18T21:04:22.290-06:00Read his words in context will you?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Roboenza's connection to the X series (or, more likely, lack thereof) is ever officially stated anywhere.<br /><br />It's easy and convenient to come to the conclusion that Roboenza and the Maverick Virus are related because Mega Man 10 is chronologically the closest we have come to that infamous "blind period" between the Classic and X series, but that has never been officially canonized anywhere (again, that I am aware of) and should not be passed off like it has.<br /><br />Still, this is a great read and there's a lot of good research and fact-checking going on here.

I'd say the same for Proto Man, but in the interest of keeping the deaths to a minimum, I'd keep him alive.
