It’s funny because the original pitch for the OG Mega Man show was closer in look and tone to the original games’ artwork, but, surprise, surprise, Capcpom asked them to retool it to appeal more to “western audiences”…
The smartest and simplest thing to do would be to remix the classic MM tunes, but they’ll just get some clown to get his Bruce Faulconer on and beat some bleeps and bloops out on a Casio and call it a soundtrack.
The megaman universe writes itself honestly, and they have 130 games as a frame of reference for a competent story. As long as the make characters like roll likable, the show will be at least good.
tbh i can see roll becoming a fan favorite character easily. the likability writes itself.
Seriously hope Roll doesn’t become some idiot girl in this show. I doubt it since this isn’t an anime I guess. But yeah keep her as the fun upbeat girl
Well, that’s what adaptations are for. They don’t have to rip the story line-by-line from the games. They can tweak things such that X and Zero get equal spotlight.
I never liked Ben Ten. Too repetitive. They basically used the same damn plot formula every single episode. “Oh no! I really need to turn into the big strong guy, but through horrible irony, I turned into the small weak guy instead! What are the odds?” However, I will not downplay the series’ animation quality, and the art style definitely lines up well with Megaman. I won’t hold any hope that this cartoon will be good, but I will definitely keep an eye out for it.
There is no such thing as equal spotlight with Zero. That fucker consumes the spotlight like John Cena against a popular, up-and-coming young wrestler.
He WILL take over in whatever environment he’s placed in. He’s the true Sigma Virus.
You know Cena and Owens are already booked for the rematch… and if you think Cena is losing to the same guy twice in a row… I got some Joker gifs for you.
Not to mention him basically shitting on him and a guy whose son is suffering from cancer in Adam Rose, while shilling about his work with cancer patients.
