Mega Man (2017)
 

I just found this out right now. I wonder what type of animation style it will be.

I was jumping up and down for joy when I started reading then Man of Action Entertainment and Ultimate Spider-Man came across my eyes and now my interest is pretty much dead now. Oh well at least its a sign that maybe Capcom will show interest in making some games again.

Eh.

If it wasn't for the fact that I'm dealing with disillusionment from the video game industry and that Capcom killed my enthusiasm for the franchise, I would be looking forward to it.

I'm more looking forward to the Mighty No 9 stuff, to be honest.

Also this is the studio that is also currently making Ultimate Spider-Man. Thought I'd point that out.

nice
 

about time

Was excited until I saw Man of Action mentioned.

Having watched almost all of the 1st season of the DiC cartoon on DVD, I really don't think it's that bad considering the culture of cartoons at the time. The character models are odd in that "make em look buff" sense and the characterization is pretty shallow on Proto Man, but they do seem to make great use of elements from the source material. The animation itself is surprisingly fluid considering my expectations. And I love the theme song.

Well yeah, 90s, dude. Shows back then didn't always have the best quality and character models were pretty off at times. Still, some of those old video game shows hold up pretty well to this day, imo.

So Mega Man gets into Smash Bros, now a TV show... yet hasn't had a game in what? 5 or 6 years? C'mon Capcom!

There are rumors (just rumors for now), that Capcom is about to have a full scale resurrection of the franchise, with multiple multimedia projects.

damn, just realized how old Mega Man 10 are...

Well hopefully it will be good. Now if we could just get an anime for the Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy 6, Breath of Fire 3, Phantasy Star 4, Dragon Quest 8, Castlevania: SoTN, and Lollipop Chainsaw, I will be happy.

He had already has his Archie comic ongoing too.

First look at Mega Man:

That looks like the character from Mighty No. 9.

Not really, it looks terrible in comparison to that design.

And it gets worse:

Looks terrible.

Megaman NT Warrior is the best Megaman anime or cartoon, and even then it wasn't great, but at least it was true to the source material and went on for over 100 episodes. Sadly the dub never finished the show.

Their* And he will not whip.

When he's out of his armor, he appears as a 10 year old boy.

So the Ruby-Spears cartoon, outside of manga and comic adaptations, is still the most faithful classic Mega Man adaptation. That’s…kind of sad.

Hopefully the Archie comic starts again soon.

The redesign isn't awful, even though it has a little of that "edgy 11 year old gets to reboot old character and makes them overcomplicated" look

...yeah, I dunno. A lot of this is change for the sake of change, and I don't think Mega Man is a design or a concept that needs this kind of update.

Seriously, guys. You could just adapt the Archie comic. Ian Flynn gave you the perfect blueprint.

He looks like a childish kindergartener's poor fan art... Disgusting.

Wow! looks terrible.

I'm not a fan of the design, but it's the generator rex/ben ten guys. They make quality stuff. The writing is atleast in good hands.




Buuuuuuuut "ages 6-9" kinda scares me a bit. Who knows how it'll turn out?

I feel sorry for kids these days, these are the type of cartoons they have to grow up with. They need to go back and watch the cartoons from the 90's and early 2000's circa 2000-2008 or so to see good shows.

The only remotely good cartoons nowadays is Nick TMNT and the Star Wars Rebels show. Too bad Young Justice got canceled so fast.

Yep. I can agree with you on that Cubed. It seemed like action shows were actually making a comeback from 2007-2012 but then everything got canned and replaced with a flash animated comedy.

My favorite memories are of me turning all the lights down in my basement on a friday night starting at 7pm and watching CN's "you are here" block that only showed the action shows. Oh my god it was glorious. First up was Batman: The Brave and The Bold, which back then I really didn't appriciate it as much as I do now, but I watched it. Then Ben Ten would air and that was awesome. Then the main event came on, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Eventually more stuff was added to the block, like Symbiotic Titan, the Secret Saturdays, and Generator Rex, and all that was good, but it stilled stayed badass and true to it's action core.


All that stuff had such a huge impact on me. Really, Ben Ten is what got me an interest for writing, and Clone Wars taught me HOW to write.

Looks like ass. All hope is lost. It's confirmed, the higher ups of this world are actively trying to destroy everything that invokes happiness, nostalgia, or is an otherwise comforting escape to young adults today.

But Powder, it's HIP and NEW! NEW things are good! Right?

There were some good new shows in the mid-2000's but a lot of them got canceled way too fast. Spectacular Spiderman started in 2008 for example but ended after 26 episodes. Wolverine and the X-men and Young Justice started after and were both canceled quick.

There was also Avatar/Korra in that time and of course TMNT 2k3.

Have you seen what they've done to Powerpuff Girls? Tragic.

I know. That show screams "Hey! We're trying hard to be relavent!" and beats you over the head with it.

Didn't bubbles make a meme face from 2008 or something?

It looks like a late 90s/early 00's CG character mixed with Mighty No.9(which isn't a good thing). Event he proposed CG Mighty No.9 show looked better even if it did look generic and bad. This is in the same level of bad as the 90s Mega Man cartoon and that show probably will end up having more references to the show than this. It's likely going for the Sonic Boom and Pac-Man and the ghostly adventures crowd.

He looks like he judges and hates everyone.

I'd have called it Adobe Illustrator Man.

I just want everyone to watch these and think about what we should have had and just how bad they ****ed this up.





Instead we get Mega Mini fantastic.

Oh sh*t I forgot about that Pac man show. This will be EXACTLY like that. Sonic Boom wasn't too bad for a comedy IIRC, and had some pretty funny jokes.
