Not the animation style I was hoping for.

[C.R.O.M. - Shadaloo Lives!]

He looks like he was made by a middle schooler that got really okay with MS paint.

[-Whiplash-]

Welp.

I'd rather he was still dead tbqh

[HyperVoiceActing]

I'm gonna wait til I see some footage before I properly judge

[Jelux Da Casual]

Oh, it gets BETTER. Apparently he has a little "Mega Mini" that's in his helmet?

Also this: "The best thing about Mega Man is his unflinching wide-eyed optimism and an over-the-top sense of humor," Duncan Rouleau of Man of Action said in a statement.

I'm sorry, and over the top sense of humor?

So basically, anyone who's at least a touch optimistic about this show needs to be shot repeatedly, have their head ripped off, and grind their skull into a fine powder right? Because it's just that horrible. It "Oh my God they are literally murdering my mother" disgusting, right? 

I mean come on people. I know the internet is rife with butthurt fanboys, but this is kind of absurd how overblown the seething hatred this is getting. His design isn't all that bad. Heck it's not even all that different from a usual Mega Man design. Just darker shades of blue and some Tron-esque highlights here and there. It's not as drastic as, say, Sonic Boom Knuckles or Bomberman X-Zero.

Seriously people. We only have one picture to go by. Now if we start seeing some animation and voice work and that looks as bad as you're predicting it'll be, then yeah you can complain all you want. But this intense hatred (and people insisting everyone else needs to be just as pissed as they are) seems way too premature.

And for those hating them using "over the top" ... uh, does anyone remember Dr Cossack? Ya know, the extremely Russian scientist who ever has the Russian flag plastered all over. Tell me that's not over the top.

...

and now that I've given you all incentive to hate me and want me dead...

Oh.....

What is wrong with crapcom? I mean ugh!

[Jelux Da Casual]

Seriously,  what the heck is a Mega Mini, and why is in his HELMET?!

My thing Is this: This is Mega Man in name only. I don't doubt that it will be a decent cartoon, but it literally could be called anything and no one would bat an eye. It's practically a new IP disguising itself as Mega Man and the fact that Capcom stands behind with the plan to relaunch in this iteration (comics/games/merch) means that they no longer believe that Mega Man as it was is worth anything.

He's getting replaced like War Machine. It's him, but it ain't him.

hyper i think your the only one on that side of the fence.

Certainly seems like it.

And no doubt people will treat me like dirt because of it, insisting that I need to hate this.

What Jelux said, exactly same thoughts. Call it Giga(replace it with any other word) Man and no one will give a damn. It's always exactly like that with reboots when instead of proper source accurate movie/game/etc. some Frankenstein's monster appears sharing very subtle similarities to said source materials. It can be great or utter piece of crap, the thing is it's anything, but what people loved about original. And those dedicated fans even starting to refuse to call it by that name, remember how Dante became Donte. And the fact they burying old image of franchise with reboot as well as hopes for new movies/games continuing line brings sadness and hate.
Chill out, Hyper, nobody forces you to take or swap sides every one have right for own opinion. Can't I will, or will not enjoy the series, but for sure I can say that they done it wrong. They have large experience of branching franchise to X, Dash, BN, ZX, SF, just calling it Mega Man Duo for example would solved everything. Blue bomber we all know knew would not be killed and could've beeen brought back anytime, even if with something like MMvsSF that became official.

You know that is not the case. It comes down to this-

Those who are not 'in the know' about Megaman's woes due to indefensibly poor management, do know he's been gone a long time.

This----'thing' will likely pass right by the old school players of MM, in hopes of reaching a new audience. That's a major mistake, because their parents are the ones with the money.

What's called for here is a 'return to form'. it will do 3 things-

1. Attract new interest (which is what they're here)
2. Appease the 'die hard' fans.
3. Garner positive reviews & press via word of mouth. The best possible advertisement.

This, fails two of those three goals, and further angers the base consumers. Thus leading to the likelihood of  this franchise's continued stagnation.

[HyperVoiceActing]

I'm just sick of all the premature loathing this is starting to get. It's the exact same thing that happened with the Ghostbusters reboot. Will it be as good as the original? Probably not, because that's kind of a tall order to fill. But people feel it absolutely necessary to bash on anyone who's interested for it on its own merits.

[ExeLord]

No worries, here you may rest from inadecuate bashing. You know, it would be great decision to slap "classic" label officially and rebrand all old stuff as such. It would've saved situation and we had good old Classic Sonic Mega Man without hurting plans of appealing to new audience.

[sky79]

I'm just sick of all the premature loathing this is starting to get.

Understandable, there's a lot out there. However, I don't think that applies here. The Ghostbusters hate is a completely different situation.

 Capcom however? They have shown open disrespect to the staff and fans of this franchise. They know what works, and what route will lead to bankruptcy (again) and still refuse to learn from those actions. No one wants a bad MM game, but this just isn't looking good.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Well I also think it's premature in a sense that all we have to go off of is a short synopsis and one promo picture. Now the synopsis isn't exactly the most original or engaging thing to read, but maybe it's execution could be better than what we're fearing. There have been many examples of movie or show ideas that initially sound stupid, but upon seeing how they're told and executed they're actually quite enjoyable (ie Kung Fu Panda) And like I said, the design of Mega Man isn't even all that offensive. Maybe a bit too dark in terms of color, but I don't mind seeing a Mega Man like this.

Also Mini Mega I have no reason to get all upset about either. All we know about it is that it comes out of Rock's--or rather, Avi's-- helmet. What is Mini Mega's purpose? We don't know. How does he interact with the main character? We don't know. So I don't think it's fair to outright declare it to be a horrible idea when we barely know anything about it.

heres my beef and its the same with castlevania, give us some closure. finish the freaking story. ive follow this for 20 years for what? its like i wasted my time.
