so let's make our own megaman/megaman-like animated series.
what thing should it have?
A Megaman that looks like Megaman, not Tron's retarded cousin.
>>95115877
And actually a robot, not a kid who can transform using a retarded catchphrase.
>>95115758
RMs being assholes to each other at Wily's place.
Flashback to Light and Wily' s college days, hanging out as friends and shooting the shit together, while their arguments over the future and purpose of robotics gradually become more heated.
>>95115758
the actual games
Just adapt the manga
>>95115758
Is this made from the same studio who made Get-Ed?
Anyone one have that old copypasta where the anon tries to prove that Dr. Light was short sighted and couldn't see the ethical ramification of giving weapons sentience? I want something like that along with a healthy dose of Amadeus. Where Wily is so driven by envy that even though he's trying to do good all people see is his evil. Hacking the robot masters to prove that anyone can do it and Dr. Light is in over his head and he's dismissed as terrorist. We see Rock struggle with killing and absorbing his fellow robot masters powers and asking Light does he have a soul? It culminates with Dr. Wily being placed in an insane asylum, Light dead, and the outbreak of the first Robot vs Human Wars with Rock heavily conflicted on which side he should pick.

>>95115758
I kinda want something like the EXE in terms of the robot personalities.
A light and funny action show where a robut Megaman foils Wily's plans, with an overarching plot about the arms race between Wily and Light. I'd probably make Megaman closer to Legends' Trigger so that you can add Tron Bonne, etc.
Then after a few seasons with a happy ending, a grimdark edgy sequel in the form of MMX
I really like the characterization of the Robot Masters in the "History Repeating" albums of The Megas. That and "The Quick and The Blue" & "Man on Fire"
Just hear it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUuE2YSBHo4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E9wRwxOcdo
>>95115758
Animate the Archie comics or just take some parts from them like how though they have personalities show they're still bound by directive
This looks absolutely fucking horrendous. Why!?
Fucking years I've been waiting for Capcom to make something, battle network, X, some shit to give me Megaman
what is this? This nigga belongs in Nick jr. Waive this fake robotic ass outta my face and give me a real Game. Ffs
>>95116109
lets just mash-up the megas with the protomen and call it a day
>>95116058
>Anyone one have that old copypasta where the anon tries to prove that Dr. Light was short sighted and couldn't see the ethical ramification of giving weapons sentience?
This one?
Did they redo the design? I swear he looked more Mexican before. This is still pretty meh, but not as bad as I recall the initial art looking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8O_0Da-tkA
>>95116234
Looks like it, man my memory is really bad i remember the post also talked about how wily was a hero for trying to stop Dr. Light
>>95115758
Why doesn't \co\ just support and appreciate media for a franchise they like, knowing that if it succeeds, they will get new and more merchandise from said property?
Supporting a show like this could only lead to more Megaman, so why not? Even if the cartoon sucks, we can always get new toys, comics, and games.
>>95116309
Or we give crapcom money they don't learn their lesson and keep giving us garbage. Look what happened to SF
>>95116205
I still haven't heard The Protomen, I've recently found The Megas and I've already listened to all their songs. Any suggestions?
>>95116309
Because, you fucking idiot, if the cartoon is successful, all the new Megaman stuff will likely be based on it. So if it's shit we get MORE SHIT.
>>95115994
>RMX3 Genesis
The limits of sweet reason have been reached and exceeded.
>>95115994
That collection really Rocks Man.
>what should the /co/reation mega man-like be
main character is a cute girl and obvious fetishes that the creators are really trying to pretend are serious social issues?
>>95115909
This. Theres no way a kids action megaman cartoon show is ever going to work.
Just make it an aqua teen-like comedy show with the RMs acting hilariously outrageous and assholish. Make Megaman a background character, who's only occasionally brought up in conversation.
>>95116510
nigga did you even read the general
Just do a straight up adaption, not unlike the recent comics. The only real difference would be some drama as the series heads towards the X line of games, maturing as the original storyline closes and begins anew with the Reploids and Mavericks. In the case of the X series though, I would say trim out some of the plot lines, namely having Sigma dying and resurrecting more fucking times than a DBZ character, and also lay out groundwork for the events of the Mega Man Zero follow-up.
>>95116605
This. Plus maybe actually do shit with stuff like the X hunters, Bit and Byte, Isoc (Especially with the theory that he may be Wily), and Gate.
It's a shame we've never gotten a proper X adaptation, or at least one that gets to do something besides pre-X1/X1 stuff
>>95116338
Light up the Night is a classic. The Hounds, The Stand (Man or Machine), Father of Death, Hope Rides Alone, they're all good individual songs
However my personal recommendation is to listen to the entire albums while reading the notes. It makes shit so much better
>>95116234
Dr. Cain was the real villain. Why don't people get that?
>>95116605
i like it, Sigma coming back always bothered me
>>95116103
whats happens in the interval between MM y MMX?
there is a good media outside the games?
Just do what Archie did.
Or, even better, do what Archie did but set it after the games. No adapting any of them, just jump straight to original stories.
>>95116840
Zero kills the original cast off is the popular fan theory.
>>95116840
That's the thing. It's never been elaborated what happened between them. The popular "Zero kills everyone" fan idea was shot down and no media has ever attempted to touch it. There's Mega Man Unlimited, but that's a fangame.
As for good media outside the games, I haven't read Megamix, but I plan on it and hear nothing but good things. The Archie comics are decent but have their fair share of issues. The Ruby Spears cartoon is corny as shit, and I don't care about BN so I can't say anything about NT Warrior
>>95115758
When is this supposed to air anyways?
>>95116909
>I can't say anything about NT Warrior
I can. Its one of the worst dubs in history. Not that the subbed version is amazing, mind you, but its still a massive improvement.
>>95116338
what the other guy said
but their two main albums are rock operas and are meant to be listened to in order. Act 1 is about Megaman deciding to fight Wily despite Dr Light not wanting to lose his other son. Act 2 tells the story of how Wily came to set himself up as a dictator, and Dr Light's first attempts at toppling his regime.
there's not a single song on either album I don't like
>>95116754
It's fine if he revives a few times, they are robots after all. But holy hell did the series do it one time too many that they had to pull some shitty "if he's somewhere without a reploid to posses, he's as good as dead" loophole.
>>95116977
On a scale of 1 to one piece. How exactly bad is it?
>>95117003
up to x5 I i could understand everything afterwards all my brain could to do was yell BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT
>>95116840
>>95116904
>>95116909
The official reason is that nothing happened. Megaman, and Robot Masters in general, became out dated and were eventually scrapped. Light and Wily presumably just died of old age after finishing X and Zero.
>>95117051
6, nothing could ever be as godawful as one piece dub
>>95117051
6, maybe 7.
>>95117057
I love that in X6 Sigma literally comes the fuck out of NOWHERE after the Gate fight.
>>95117072
Did they die? Or did they just transfer their consciousness elsewhere? Because the later X games make it seem like the light capsules are sentient, and there's theories about which robot in the X series is just Wily in some form
>>95117105
They probably made copies of their minds and died naturally. Light in a capsule, Wily in that X-Hunter. Then later that guy in X6.
>>95117135
Didn't someone from Capcom imply the Maverick virus was actually Wily's mind?
>>95117135
shame the x2 english translation for that game didn't make that connection but megaman x games all have shitty localization
>>95117226
probably not, but wily made it and put it in zero
>>95117226
Yeah, thats another big theory. Assuming the Maverick Virus isn't a modified Roboenza and/or Evil Energy.
>>95117257
shit was like super soldier serum for him
>>95117226
The maverick virus is a better version of Roboenza.Honestly I just think Wily was an AI until X2 until he got bored and became one of the X hunters
>>95115758
Everybody forgets that they made something like 3 different mega man animated series already
>>95117304
always felt it was like>>95117268 evil energy/ and roboenza had a bastard child. I think Wily wanted Zero to be the one that killed X. Fucker almost got an orgasm when Zero defeated Hi-Max when X couldn't
>>95116551
Not saying that I wouldn't mind an ATHF-style Megaman parody, but if it's gotta be a kids show just make it a villain-of-the-week action comedy. Instead of crappy side plots about being a kid in school, have crappy sideplots about a robot kid trying to understand basic human concepts.
I don't know why but I always imagined the Megaman series to have a dry, almost black sense of humor; playing sheep robots, helmet-wearing golliwogs, and other goofy things off as serious threats and having a main character who struggles to have a sense of morality beyond "Me good. You bad".
>>95117366
I remember a video talking about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c274VOirffQ
>>95117135
Wasn't there also an implication about the villain the final X Zero game being part of Wily's legacy?
>>95117414
He didn't add the most obvious one.
>wily's voice actor
>despises X
>claims to know Zero inside and out
>stops him with a flick of his wrist
if Isoc isn't wily idk who is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR3jRA71DEg
>>95116351
That's not how it works. For example: Bayformers being successful did not make G1 Transformers go away, in fact it lead to games like War for Cybertron and Devestation. It also allowed for toy lines like Combiner Wars, Titans Return, and Power of the Primes. Further it led to new cartoons like Transformers: Animated and Prime. The fact that there's a shitty but successful movie franchise allowed for good things to follow for long-term fans, because it's all just advertisement for product.
It's completely retarded then to believe classic Megaman would disappear. It's like believing Sonic will always have blue arms if people like Boom. Instead it'd be more likely that the interest from the series would allow for more figures, such as Robot Masters to get made. A toy company picking up the rights for the show may also be able to do toys from the games. I would also think that Capcom would put out new games with a show advertising the franchise.
It's almost like some people are letting their autism ruin nice things
>>95115758
Do we know anything about it besides what MM looks like?
>>95115758
>what thing should it have?
Pharaoh Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7dSJN5LgsE
>>95118012
>Do we know anything about it besides what MM looks like?
We know that he's a high school kid who uses a little Mega Man digital fairy/thing (called "Mega Mini") and uses it to transform into Mega Man. His catchphrase is "Meganize Me!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiahr2ZjiyY
So yeah, people are annoyed over more than just the look.
anyone actually said they prefer this version over the new one?
or even bad box art megaman over the new one?
>>95118318
I remember the artist saying that he never even heard of megaman before designing him
and wasn't provided any materials about him
so he borrowed the game and played it with his badly calibrated tv, and so megaman turned out green
so thats what he drew
>>95116165
Funny thing is, given Needle Man's later actions, we can't be sure if he actually beleives this stuff or if he's just a generally cynical guy.
>>95118364
I thought that he was green to avoid copyright lawsuits.
>>95118318
I'm not saying anything until I actually see the product. I will say, though, that Captain N did have its good points.
>>95118364
that explains things.
still anyone actually said they prefer the captain n version over the new one?
>>95118480
Probably because the captain n version and other versions has been an occasional capcom joke over the years, and thus is endeared to fans
>>95118436
did they ever finish the series?
wait and see i guess. sonic boom pulled it off so no reason this can't too(then again if this mega man fails, that would be twice MM failed where sonic thrived).
>>95116165
Where can I read this?
Dropped it a long time ago due to only local comic shop closing, but still have a bagged and boarded copy of issue #1
Elf wars
>>95118536
Captain N? No, not that it even had an endgame in mind to begin with.
>>95118536
>did they ever finish the series?
I'm not sure what you mean.
I mean, they did run an episode where Mother Brain ran out of energy, was trying to gather some energy flowers or some stuff to power back on their base, and Captain N managed to fight them off from that. So I guess that might be considered an "ending" of sorts. But the entire plot of the series was intended to run at long as necessary. Heck, the comics even had them go inside Mother Brain's mind one time (because otherwise Zebes would blow up and cause all sorts of problems) and they found a "good side" to her, which kind of lends itself to the idea that they weren't going to end up killing her.
There was no episode where they had a last standoff with Mother Brain and blew up Zebes, if that's what you mean.
>>95118480
I will admit, the only interesting Mega Man fanfic I've ever read took place in the Captain N setting, primarily because it involved just Mega Man/Proto Man and their involvement with the general public. All the other robot masters were just robots.
>>95115758
Looks pretty lame.
>>95116309
There is always CN factor.
It is hard to support media when it eventualy will get replaced by TTG.
>>95118700
>>95118722
did the princess got her dad back? iirc mother brain trapped him in some sort of dimension.
>>95118906
I thought that was Sally's dad in Sonic SATM
>>95118923
Sally did get her dad back, although that was in the comics. And then it turned out he had some sort of crystalizing disease from being in that dimension that also drove him to become a tyrannical dictator, until it was later revealed that he had been assassinated and replaced by a Robotnik robot, until it was revealed later that the doctor who had pronounced the king dead had actually hid him away in the basement and King Acorn was still alive. (and cured, and sane)
And then everybody when to high school, because of course that is what you do with the group who just spent ten years fighting a guerilla war solo for you.
...it was a weird time for Sonic.
>>95118906
There was never any sort of major plot progression, or any sort of event which really changed the dynamic. Princess Lana was always just princess, was always stuck taking care of the tower, and nobody was freed or added to the roster at any point. We saw Link a few times in episodes, and Samus showed up a couple of times in the comics, but that was pretty much it.
>>95116309
Yeah, let's keep setting the bar lower everytime in the hopes that the next thing we get won't be cheap shit.
Can't see anything wrong with this plan.
>>95119136
>crystalizing disease from being in that dimension that also drove him to become a tyrannical dictator, until it was later revealed that he had been assassinated and replaced by a Robotnik robot, until it was revealed later that the doctor who had pronounced the king dead had actually hid him away in the basement and King Acorn was still alive.

>Man of Action without Loeb's fuckery
Might be good.
I wanted to post the megaman ascii but it seems they don't allow that anymore.
Thanks, moot.
>>95119203
It was easily considered one of the worst parts of the Sonic comic's history, perhaps next to the deepest aspects of the Pendering. (Although maybe Penders worked on the high school arc, as well.)
And while it all sounds fantastically stupid when strung together like that, note that this was back when surprise reveals were a big thing in comics. Whether it was successful or not, a lot of Marvel/DC loved those cliffhangers and "back from the dead" arcs, and so Archie followed suit. So while bringing Sally's dad back was surprising, it shouldn't be that strange to see him suddenly "turn evil". It shouldn't be too strange to suddenly see him revealed as a robot. (with Robotnik in charge) And it shouldn't be too surprising to see him miraculously come back, thanks to some strained logic in that regard.
As for the high school bullshit, that was because they killed Robotnik and freed Knothole, so what else were they going to do?
>>95119371
>(Although maybe Penders worked on the high school arc, as well.)
Nah, he was too busy with the Knuckles stuff. This was aroun the time he was doing the Green Knuckles shit. He didn't touch Sonic until the 130s once Bollers left.
>As for the high school bullshit, that was because they killed Robotnik and freed Knothole, so what else were they going to do?
No no, this was after Robo-Robotnik showed up. This was just a way to keep the FFs under Max's eye (And in a meta sense, to cash in on the anime craze) though it didn't last too long
>>95119138
>setting the bar lower
Did you really like NT Warriors?
So Astro Boy, Cyborg 009, and Casshern mixed together
>>95118844
A show like this is made to push merchandise, CN may treat it like Sonic BOOM. Just watch the cartoons and buy something cool if any neat toys or games drop. TTG is riding high because of capeshit and it's cheap flash animation that's aimed and at way little kids.
>>95115758
I'll never understand how an entire production team can work on something like this without a single person asking, "What if this is a bad idea?"
>>95118436
>Captain N did have its good points.
Three, to be exact.still unwatchable with even a passing knowledge about the games being reference
>>95115758
It all ready got made though.

>>95122633
>>95115758
Four factions in a future world;
Maverick Hunters, featuring Rock/X as main hero.
Repliforce, with General, Colonel and the rest serving as the military arm of the governments of the world.
Robot Masters, with Dr. Wily leading his army of robots to conquer the world and achieve his vision.
Mavericks, with Sigma ruling and attempting to destroy all of humanity.
Intersperse with some civilians like the Bonnes as a roaming pirate gang and so on.
Let the interplay of the factions and heroes be the guiding force of the story.
>>95115758
Pedoshit fanservice characters.
I'm actually thinking about giving the show a chance. Who knows? Maybe this show will finally convince Capcom to make another (proper) Megaman game, even if it's bad.
>>95115877
Mega right.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnPlff7btoM
>>95115877
Megaman has such well design I don´t get why americans feel the need to give their own twist to a character to the point of making him worse, you don´t see France making a Superman cartoon and changing most of what makes superman special.
>>95115973
I have the anime for (you)
>>95115758
>>95123112
It really does look like got New 52'd.
At least he still has the underpants.
>>95115758
Season 1 is pretty basic. Megaman fights a Robot Master of the week to save Dr. Light, and the finale is him defeating Dr. Wily and saving his creator. He's aided by Rush, Roll, and sometimes the mysterious Protoman.
Season 2 begins with Protoman and Mega seemingly attacking the city, to which the city starts blaming Dr. Light. Megaman catches his clone, a Dark Man Robot Master, who reveals that they were created by a scientist known as Dr. Cossack. Megaman sets out to find the real Protoman and find out his motives, and stop Dr. Cossack. The finale reveals that Wily, in prison, set forth a plan by blackmailing Dr. Cossack into reactivating unused Robot Masters into setting up a new plan: Steal the blueprints for Megaman and Protoman. Shadow Man breaks into Light's lab, steals the info, and torches the lab. Protoman becomes a full time ally, and Dr. Cossack is saved.
Season 3 starts with Light, Megaman, and the rest moving into Dr. Cossack's lab while repairing their own. Dr. Wily's Masters break him out of prison, and he completes his ultimate weapon: Bass, a Master design specifically to seek out the weak points of Megaman and Protoman. Megaman, Protoman, Rush, Roll, and new addition Beat fight off an upgraded slew of Robot Masters, and eventually defeat Bass (who escapes). Wily escapes as well, but loses his fortress. Protoman is destroyed saving Megaman from Bass.
Season 4 starts leaning towards Megaman X, with Zero coming from the future to stop Sigma's henchmen from altering the timeline. This leads to a Megaman X spinoff.
>>95123753
>Season 4 starts leaning towards Megaman X, with Zero coming from the future to stop Sigma's henchmen from altering the timeline. This leads to a Megaman X spinoff.
This sort of thing has been tried several times and it never worked.
>>95115758
An animated version of the Archie comic, with the comic art style. That's it. That all they have to do.
>>95118722
Wait, are you talking about Megaman: The Series, on the Megaman Home Page? That was my JAM as a kid, I love those stories. I wonder if they still hold up..?
>>95115758
Bring back the Battle Network style Megaman. In today's world with every kid having phones they could turn the chips into apps and it would really take off.I'm still salty they haven't revived Chaotic as a mobile gatcha game with PVP elements. It'd make a killing.
>>95123909
No clue, honestly. That was decades ago. I don't even remember what website I found it on, much less what it was called.
>>95123781
Honestly we'd be better off just having an adaptation of X.
>>95117226
>>95117268
>>95117366
the official explanation is that the Virus IS derrived from Roboenza, which itself was created by reverse engineering evil energy and using the same principles.
As for Wily, the official statement from Inafune (back when he still worked for Capcom) was that Wily died in between Classic and X, but was "brought back by the virus"
what this means, is anyone's guess, but it IS possible that much like Light created an AI of himself in the capsules, Wily possibly did so with the Virus somehow.
>>95117713
it kills me that they completely dropped this plot point past X6.
It's really a shame, because it had been building up since X2. IIRC X2 is the first mention of Zero being "last of the doctor's creations" (US version) or implied to be a Wily number (Jap Version). As well as having a character that strongly resembles Wily, and in the Jap manual at least, is said to have genius rivaling that of "the legendary mad scientist."
Then X4 outright confirmed it in the revelation of Zero's intro cutscene, and X5 strongly hinted at Wily somehow being around behind the scenes, orchestrating the entire plot of the game. In X6 then, we get another Wily expy in the vein of Serges, only this time, way more blatant. Strongly implied at being the "old man" Sigma talked about in X5, and who has a burning hatred for X, shows up out of nowhere when Gate starts playing with Zero's DNA, can somehow immobilize Zero from the inside, etc etc we know the drill there- AND, mysteriously erases when Zero beats Gate's Zero-derived battlebody. With the mysterious voice egging him on, how he's the "strongest robot".
then in X7... Nothing. Never anything ever again until the Zero series, where Zero's dubious origins are the main background plot points, and Zero 3 actually tells us his wily number is "Dr. W. No. ∞"
or "Dr. W. LastNo. Zero"
which was always a nice touch.
I partially blame this on Axl, because the plot of the series revolved around him in both X7 and 8. And Zero's story was more about tying into and referencing the Zero series than following up on his past.
>>95126367
Speaking of, wasn't Axl implied in the last X-centric game to have been infected with something that could lead to Sigma coming back and then NOTHING because they stopped making game for that branch of the franchise?
>>95117372
My Life As A Teenage Robot was the best Megaman show after Astroboy
>>95123995
Digimon already beat them to it with Digimon Universe Appli Monsters
>>95126367
never noticed the DR. W NO in megaman zero until now. yeah i blame axl too DR. Wily appearing would have been awesome.
>>95126885
Nah it was implying that Sigma is "finally" dead and Lumine is the new villain who mighta hijacked Axl's body. They made one more game called command mission and nothing ever happened to Axl.
>>95126885
Sort of. I guess. We don't know where the fuck Capcom was going with that, although it's possible that all that wouldve happened is a potential X5 style hunter versus hunter battle and not much else.
I mean, X8 came out AFTER Command Mission, and in Command Mission, Axl is just fine- with the added change that he is no longer limited to transforming into reploids his own size. He can turn into fucking Mad Nautilus now, and that point is never brought up at all, since Axl himself isn't really relevant to the story outside of his reason for being in Giga City. (to verify rumors his ability was created there or something)
>>95115758
>random ideas post
-credits music should use the Mega Man 8 opening music
-Mega Man can still copy weapons through touch, and can be used other ways like Ruby-Spears Mega Man, doesnt have to change colors. Mega Man still has weapons by episode order.
-No mixed school/hero life, but if it does involve school, his identity isnt a fucking secret
-Rush Armor, Beat Plane, Eddie something are common features
-Robot Masters are bad guys throughout. Mega Man's friends consist of Auto, Duo, Protoman (after Break man loses)

Not him but I would say the worst by far is the megaman starforce show. I believe a total of two episodes aired on US television before it was scrapped. That being said, that doesn't mean that NT Warrior wasn't horrible just less shit than starforce.I do love the bn games though, bn3 has to be my favorite video game of all time.

>Dr. Cain was the real villain. Why don't people get that?
Yes, glad someone remembered that discussion we had in the last megaman thread. Light did everything he could to ensure a safe future, Cain was the shortsighted one and Wily's virus wasn't helping things.
>>95123024

That's weird, they must be using Drillman's color from BattleNetwork, because Classic Drillman is supposed to be red.

A quick glance at the Megaman wiki shows him as sort of an ambiguous scarlet color.
>>95133337
>ambiguous scarlet
So, red.

Are they just cool with scrapping sentient beings?
>>95133575
According to Megaman 9, yes.
>>95133575
The original MM bots weren't like the Reploids and the beings after. They had some personality, but it was all just programming mostly.
>>95133575

>>95133657
I...dunno... the Archie comics definitely treats the robots as having personalities and can think/rationalize things, but they're still bound to programming. Even Rock is. Wily fucked around with the Light numbers in 9 but they were also legitimately upset at being scrapped (especially seeing as how Wily hacked their actual shut down dates to a much earlier time) and wanted to prove they were still useful.
Giving Light the benefit of a doubt, maybe decommissioning them could have amounted to analyzing them and deeming if they're still capable of serving and sending them back out of the repair shop with tweaks or improvements or something. Why scrap the entire super robot if it just needs a few new parts or lines of code?
>>95134507
That's the comics though. The games more or less chalked it all up to programming. Hell, Rock's original designation was some kind of helper robot before agreeing to be made into a combat robot by Light. While they hinted at him having something like a heart, it was never really built on compared to X who was designed to be basically like Kikaider; an android who could think and feel just like a human.
>>95134633
Man, now I want to go watch the Kikaider animation again. Not the (new) live action though, which I heard was a turkey.
>>95134701
The movie? I heard it was alright, just kind of meh in terms of the drama Jiro usually experiences with his dual nature.
>>95133518
>>95134507
I remember a fan theory that proposed that the robot expiration dates from MM9 was a new thing as a response to all the damage caused by Wily's schemes. The public perception of robots turned more and more sour, which eventually halted the development of robotics up until X was unearthed centuries later.
>>95134633
Sheep Man kind of contradicts this though. Remember, his backstory is that he kept getting bored with his jobs and changed them all the time.
Better question is: Was MMZ good and would a show based on it work
>>95115758
Really simple.
Take this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ufVQIUEiYc
Make that the actual show of well animated over the top battle against two sides instead of joke by the week gags, and keep the aesthetic.
BAM
>>95134753
>Was MMZ good
Yes.
>would a show based on it work
No. Storywise, it can't stand on its own without the X series.
>>95134750
That was in 10, which was made years after the X series where things had become more convoluted from the "robots being made to do evil" stuff.
>>95134742
>>95134936
>>95117372
You can still have him go to school, but have it be about a robot going to school and trying to understand his own human-like emotions (And limitations) This can be served for both comedic and dramatic moments.
Some of the school kids might also secretly be robot masters themselves. Like maybe one of his earliest friends in school was actually Iceman. When he turns on Megaman, it only motivates Megaman more to free his robot brothers from Wily's control.
>>95134936
Wasn't it left ambiguous whether mayl wore panties or not?
>>95135216
I wouldn't know. The placement of that thing makes it hard to imagine it's just a belt she weirdly decided to wear UNDER her skirt.
>>95134633
It's funny how this means the original Mega Man game have the player take on the role of a simple non-sentient AI.
>>95136754
Like I said, it was only ever implied that Mega Man had a heart, but it's the X series that pretty much established his successor as the one who was more humanlike. I imagine if the series ever got a reboot, they'd probably do it like classic Mega Man having a rudimentary kind of "brain and heart" that make him seem human, and then the X storyline would with X being designed with true free will and what not.

I wouldn't be against a "remaster" of this anime...

>>95134507
are you forgetting in megaman 7 when megaman goes against his programming to try and kill wily? He literally says "I am more than just a machine" or something
>>95137739
Pretty sure he was bluffing in the hopes of getting that balding assface to stop with the same fucking scheme over and over.
>>95137456
For the last time, this isnt real!
Its an edit.
>>95138095
>Its an edit.
So what does the original look like then?
>>95138141
Nobody knows for sure, the only way would be to look at EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of the franchise (un-edited version), but if you pay attention to the lines, it looks obviously like photoshop lines.
>>95138095
Then fucking prove it
>>95138248
>Nobody knows for sure
How? Obviously people watched the entire series and would know what episode this scene is from.
>>95131839
I really fucking wish Star Force got a more proper adaptation. I feel like the story was better than most of the BN games, especially 3. Why the fuck did Xebec turn the series into 10 minute shorts?
>>95137739
That was in the American version. In the Japanese version, he stops after Wily tells him Robots aren't programmed to kill humans.
>>95138248
Also it seems more likely given how blatant this was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sB8DWslbzk&t=18m26s

Remake Battle Network but keep its original look.
What's the weirdest fan stuff you've seen/read about MM? I recall coming across some fansite where there was this super huge ongoing story where Zero somehow got his own race Cooler returns style and X was apparently in charge of a clan or whatever.
>>95115758
I pretty much just want an adaptation of Hitoshi Ariga's Rockman manga.
>>95115758
Can't be any worse than Megaman EXE.
>>95139977
I don't think it's a fan thing, but in most of the Megaman threads I come across there's always this Brazilian Megaman X comic that really goes places.
>>95140023
>worse than Megaman EXE.
Filthy, mud dwelling pleb.
>>95140023
Or Zero, Starforce, Legends etc.
Truly if there was ever such a thing as dignity associated with the name Mega Man, it was long ago sucked from his udders as he hung limp in Capcom's cellar, begging for that sweet release of death while being milked dry.
>>95116205
I think the Protomen are overrated
Only a few songs of theirs is actually decent, such as "light up the night", where the rest I don't even think were interesting enough to remember.
>>95115758
I'm a little worried.. this looks like CGI.. please tell me it isn't
>>95140139
But those weren't bad
>>95132503
>Archaeologist tries to reverse-engineer one of the two most advanced robots on the planet, each of which was designed by the greatest robotic engineers of their respective centuries.
Yeah, nothing can possibly go wrong.
>>95140139
>Calling EXE and Starforce bad
They have pretty fun gameplay, and even if the story is too lighthearted it is still an enjoyable game experience from both series.
>>95140737
BN was pretty heavy at times, at least the games were with Mega Man EXE being a dead kid recreated as a super AI.
>>95135216
was there a scene where her clothes were torn up and just about implied she wasnt wearing panties?
>>95141434

blackjack and hookers
We already have the perfect Mega Man cartoon.I love the blue dweeb.
>>95141602
Shame that we never got a full rendition of that OP.
Why not just make an X cartoon, he'd be a bigger hit due to the darker setting, and Zerofag pandering
>>95117226
IIRC the Maverick Virus IS and ISN'T Wily. It may contain Wily's memories as Wily probably tried to assert himself into it like Light did as a hologram like Cyber Elves in the Zero series. The Maverick Virus does mutate into the Sigma virus in X5 though.
>>95117072
There's also the cataclysm theory, which suggest Wily blew a bomb up, but I doubt it. I think it was either seismic activity that buried Light's lab or Light moved his lab underground so X wouldn't be scrapped. I also believe Zero tried to kill Wily upon being activated just when Wily was testing his systems and Wily sealed him away when he realized Zero couldn't be controlled, then gave up trying to conquer the world, as Bass is either destroyed or in a robot museum with Treble at this point and Mega Man still exists.
