Description Leave the Tron Baby Alone.

A single character shot and 3 paragraphs of vague story is hardly grounds to shit on this new franchise as much as I've seen. Seeing things like "Mega Man's dead", "MY EYES" and varying degrees of "NOOOO" get's tiring when there's been literally nothing to rip on yet. 

Could the show be atrocious? Yes. Do we know that yet? No. 


So until the day comes where the series tanks due to whatever reasons I will give this new child the benefit of the doubt, hold him to my bosom, and defend him from these shmucks who insist on judging books by their covers because it's not like their precious nostalgia based Classic Rockman. Only time will tell if this will be a good series or not- people are jumping ship far too early.

Fans carry on about how Capcom won't do anything new with Megaman, how they have so much potential to make money with new content and when finally something new and different comes out this happens. So they're stuck re-releasing collectors edition packs or anniversary promos of the same old stuff because fans lose their minds whenever something new shows up on the market that doesn't fit their bill; whether it be because it's not the original Rockman, or that they changed his name, even getting shallow and saying it's because it's of western release instead of Japanese.

It's no Legends 3 or X9 but dammit it's something new and I'm gonna at least give it a chance.

Keep preaching sense like this, Sacket, holy shit.
If it IS shit, then treat it like shit because it IS shit.
But as you said, there's nothing much, and yet people are already whining.
I swear mainstream MM fans have gotten to "Tumblr SJW" levels of annoying.

SterlingKato In reply to LittleSocket [2016-05-27 22:33:08 +0000 UTC]

I have many issues with this whole cartoon business, but if it gets people going -- by all means. 
I just think it's a dumb idea because they haven't done much else with MM and so while there are fans, it's not really going to bring in anyone new considering MM is pretty obscure-ish at this point. 
It's not the 'Tron' elements of designs I'm concerned about -- But I have a gut feeling that like "TRON: Uprising" this show will not last long as it will not be advertised or endorsed well enough. 
That and it'll probably be camp as hell, as most shows are these days lol 

Call me an ass but I'm not really going to get excited merely because it's MM lol They've already pretty much established they don't care about MM for years now, and then this company brings out a TV show? Sentiment aside, it would have been better if they made a game lol 
People don't pay attention to TV shows anymore unless it's like Tumblr mainstream.

LittleSocket In reply to SterlingKato [2016-05-27 22:40:28 +0000 UTC]

And I get that. This has all the setup for a quick moneygrab by slapping a popular name on their new series. 

I'm not really saying people should be excited- just that they should stop throwing stones the moment something new pokes its head out the franchise door- campy or not x3

Again though- I still think it's too soon to tell if it will be a flop or not. I might slam dunk it in the trash too if it turns out poor.

Until then: ignorance is bliss.

Definitely going to give a chance, I mean, the design is adorable AND IT LOOKS LIKE TRON!
I only hesitate at the weird Mini Mega thing.... and..uh... he has a female Japanese name..? Kind of made me head tilt a bit.

I have never had a really close affinity for the Classic series but this has legitimately piqued my interest. This could be the thing that drives me into it.

I want to know how they incorporate the RMs- are they done up the same way looking like civilians until they do evil? Do they go to his school? I don't know about you but I am stoked to see Tron-piped Wilybots. 

(also I remember reading in the report that Rock 's suit forms in pixelated pyrotechnics or something like that- Is he... Is he going to have a magical girl transformation sequence each episode? xD

YES. GIVE ME ALL THE TRON ROBOT MASTERS.
Give me dat TRON Blues *chin hands*

I mentioned this on my twitter, but I hope the plot is less "Spider Man/ MM Dreamwave comics" (in which he's a super secret going to school and no one knows he's a robutt) and more like "Astro Boy" (in which Atom's just like "fuck it, I'm a robot, I save the world, I want to go to fucking school and everyone better be cool with that")

H-Henshin sequence? Sign me up!

Gemini is going to be a walking rave and I CANNOT WAIT *rolls* Do you think they'd put stardroids in there at some point??

Don't get your hopes up I'm pretty sure they're doing the whole 'I'm a regular kid honest!' secret identity crap. Although I would see it working better with your version- the sort of Kim Possible, Powerpuff Girls shindig where he can save the world AND have his slice of life too instead of storylines based off of avoiding people and huge misunderstandings from blowing them off.

digitallyfanged In reply to LittleSocket [2016-05-28 18:55:22 +0000 UTC]

I would kill for Stardroids. The Archie comic got canned right as they were revving up for some Stardroid action so it left me incredibly thirsty.

Yeah, you're probably right :/

I mean, true we won't be getting MMX9 or MM11 and so forth, but I'm curious to see what the robot masters would look like. Heck, I'm curious if the sequel might be based on the Mega Man X series.

Man I think the robot masters would look super cool in this style! With the glowy parts and the sleek designs!

Yeah. Gonna guess same goes to the reploids if the show managed to get to Mega Man X's era?

LittleSocket In reply to EvanRanger [2016-05-27 22:33:20 +0000 UTC]

Positive thinking but they did say the show would be aimed at younger kids and the X arc seems to be a little darker sometimes for 8 year olds lol

EvanRanger In reply to LittleSocket [2016-05-27 22:34:12 +0000 UTC]

Or for teens due to the deaths in Mega Man X.
