Yes.
But the sequel comic was somehow good and I still don't understand how that fricking happened. Where the frick was that writing quality when they still had a show?
The comic was an attempt at course-correction (i.e. having an actual Dr. Wily, killing the annoying Mega-Mini, etc), but it was too little too late for anybody to care.
I guess it's what the showrunners actually wanted for the series when it's not watered down by Cartoon Network, Capcom, and others. I remember the stuff with Zero was a season 2 plot point.
>when it's not watered down by Cartoon Network, Capcom, and others.
It was mostly CAPCOM, most of the robot master designs are ugly because they didn't wanted the show to be related with the NES classics

why, that's brand synergy just begging to happen
Because they were presumably hoping this would become its own Mega Man sub-franchise. What synergy is there between classic, X, Legends, or Battle Network?
They did not release a Mega Man Fully Charged game. Instead this show was on air when Mega Man 11, the last original, standalone Mega Man game to date was released.
I have to imagine brand synergy _if not the whole sub-series synergy question_ was on Capcom's mind when they made that decision.
Capcom thinks that if an adaptation is too faithful, then it’d compromise sales for their games as they think that people would prefer the show over the games. Having the two be different solves that issue according to them.
Like what? Just the enemy designs? Because a wordless rendition of 810 robots exploding then an old man wiggling his eyebrows won't make for riveting television. They have to invent characters out of whole cloth or borrow the interpretation from the expanded canon if they want anything beyond action anamatics.
The only people who hate on this show are autistic manchildren who are mad because the show doesn't fallow the lore of the games and because it's not targeting manchildren like them.
Only autists care about adaptation having to be accurate to some made up lore, normal people are okay with this show being different for the sake of being different.
Why would anyone but autistic man children watch a Megaman cartoon while the IP is pretty much dead? Your pretty much saying >This show only has visibility to people who wouldn't like it
I usually think people overreact to reboots/revamps, but in this case, it really was that bad.
Yes.

Mega Man desperately needs a new cartoon/anime that's more faithful to the games.

it was alright. some of the robot master designs were nice, others leaves much to be desired
i did like mega-mini though
I thought Wood Man as a war vet was interesting.
Yes
It was mediocre. Which is arguably a worse fate.
it was MEGAbad
It was so fricking average, which IMO is worse then being bad.
Barely even a Mega Man cartoon either.

That's the purpose of a reboot, gain a new audience of children.
Yes, they replaced Roll with a black human.
Robo-e-girl genocide, I tell you.
Better than NT Warrior, at least
>Was it really THAT bad?
Yes.
Compare it to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkAZLs__duU
Anything that doesn't at least resemble this is by default, NOT Megaman. ;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1mW7gudgk0
Kids won’t take Mega Man seriously if he looked like that. It’s why he was redesigned for the first cartoon to look like a proper superhero.
>Megaman having to decide whether or not to use lethal force on a mentally fricked up war veteran on a shooting rampage.
Deep episode.
Yes. I watched the whole thing. It's really unremarkable. Even the Pac-Man show from around the same time was at least weird.
