In Summation: The Mega Man Series

Hey, lookit what I wrote.

It’s a summary of the Mega Man series and why Mega Man 9 will hopefully be a fresh new start for the Bloo Bomber. It’s…pretty ironic when you think about it.

This article sent me back to some of my old fandom haunts to perform necessary Drama Control. People sure take stuff seriously. Talk about a good way to die early.

I made a small comment about how Mega Man was “too busy playing Power Ranger dress-up” to trash killer robots in Mega Man ZX, which was instantly taken to mean I hate Mega Man ZX. I don’t. I enjoy it. But anyone who doesn’t think that people are partially excited for Mega Man 9 because it’s so blissfully uncomplicated is out of their tree. People love nostalgia. More than ever, they want to be taken back to their childhoods. Model X and Model Z doesn’t take anyone back to their childhoods, unless they had an alphabet block fetish.

I love the Mega Man series. I always have and I always will. I will be screaming about Mega Man’s latest victory against Wily when I’m senile and on my death bed. But that doesn’t mean he’s immune to criticism. Lord, no.

Mega Man knows he’s not perfect. He wouldn’t want you to die early of stress, defending him from toothless old women like myself. Please, think of Mega Man.
