I'm excited! :D
I asked Brett Elston what series it was. he's not sure yet because it's so new.
"no clue, pretty early still and all I know is that it's starring Mega Man. I assume Classic but I don't know for sure "
The Protomen enhanced my life.
I've ahve always loved Megaman...but I hate Man Of Action. This could be good but I hope that if its bad it will get the usual swift hammer of cancelation

Wait... Man of Action... You mean the Ben10 guy?
Meh, I don't really like Ben10, or any of the Sequels, or Generator Rex. But maybe this will be good? I dunno. I'm not even a fan of Mega Man...

It could be awesome, but it's Capcom, so expect a healthy dose of wasted potential, anticlimactic red herrings, and unnecessary retcons that only serve to make previously awesome moments less so.

^^Didn't Ben 10 sequels have different group behind them? Is Man of action the group behind original Ben 10 show?
I like Megaman and I've enjoyed Man of Action shows *to a limited degree*. So, maybe this will be good. Here's hoping.

Yes, Man of Action only did the original Ben 10 series. As well as Generator Rex, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Avengers Assemble.

I give decent odds that it will be Classic, better than good odds that it will be something similar to the NT stuff; an original story with original characters who use powers that invoke familiar Mega Man characters.
It will almost certainly not be X or Zero, given that their darker and grittier stories are not well-suited for the kind of storytelling Man of Action seems comfortable with.

Still just awesome like that
I've heard the Mega Man comic from Archie is fantastic.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
But how much could it even cover that the Ruby-Spears series didn't?
This could either be pretty good or pretty bad.

Just knowing Man Of Action is behind this fills me with little confidence - seriously, the only show I liked from these guys is Generator Rex - and I would not call that spectacular or anything, to be brutally honest. Their Marvel cartoons can definitely suck it (although I've heard some actual good writers are working on later seasons of said shows, now, I refuse to believe they've become good or anything close to good.).
Something like Mega Man deserves to be in better hands than these condescending comittee-driven cowards.

Good use of alliteration.

I love mega man, but hate tie-in products. Let's just hope it isn't as bland and unfunny as Pac-man's show.
"We be we baby!"
I read it all and I can confirm that comic is fantastic. I'm just hoping that show wont affect it negatively.
Arent Moa working on 2 shows already? They're spreading themselves thin.
Still, Marvel shows suck because someone is pushing to make them kid-friendly. Mega Man might a bit better about it. But I have no doubt that it might suffer from usual Moa treatment, like unfunny jokes and obnoxious protagonists.
I wonder if they upgrade Roll to a fighter and in general what they'll do about infamously low number of females.
Seeing how Wily is the only bigger villain in franchise, I can only imagine that show will rely on Monster of the Week formula with Robot Masters.
Well, unless show wont be based on classic which would suck.
Why aren't you laughing?
I'll save my thoughts until I at least see some sort of design for the characters.
I'm in the camp that enjoyed Ben 10(the original one) and somewhat likes Ultimate Spiderman sometimes. Don't care for Avengers Assemble but I do want to see Gen. Rex.

The late Dwayne McDuffie was the Show Runner for Alien Force and Ultimate Alien since Man of Action decided to launch Generator Rex, and Derrick Wyatt ran things for Omniverse.
Did Avengers Assemble ever get better?

I'd like to hear some examples of how AA got better. If only so I can have some hope that this new show on subject will hopefully just be mediocre and not absolute committee-driven corporatist crap.
I liked Ben 10 and some episodes of Generator Rex are on the edge of great,but yeah their marvel stuff sucks.

I never watched it, but I thought people generally really liked Ben 10?

I'm looking forward to this, and I haven't picked up a Mega Man comic. (Though I'm hearing good things about them.)
But hey, believe it or not, I'll take whatever Marvel is putting out in terms of animation right now over Adventure Time and Sonic Boom any day.
