* FridgeHorror: In "Brain Bots", Wily places Mega Man in a DeathTrap. The trap consists of a DescendingCeiling with spikes. Unlike some death traps, Mega was bound to the floor as it descended. What pushes this into FridgeHorror is what Wily said about it; he uses it to recycle robots he no longer needs into scrap metal. Meaning he's done this to HIS OWN ROBOTS. What makes it worse is that some robots, like Fire Man and Star Man, were only in one episode and never seen or mentioned again...

* FridgeLogic: The infamous episode "Robosaur Park" features Wily creating a de-evolution serum that devolves humanoid robots into more ape-like robots. Fansite [[http://www.mmhp.net/marketing/ShowList.html#Robosaur The Mega Man Homepage]] put it best: "Why did the robots de-evolve into apes? Shouldn't they have turned into toasters or something?"
** If Dr. Wily has a handheld gun that can reprogram or turn off robots, why doesn't he just turn it on Mega Man and Roll? If it wouldn't reprogram them, it'd at least shut them off, buying him time.
*** It's likely that Mega Man and Roll are more advanced than the other robot masters. In the pilot episode, he doesn't use the reprogramming gun on them like the others, even after he captures them. Instead, he takes them back to his lab for what looks like a do-it-yourself lobotomy to make them easier to reprogram.
** In "The Day The Moon Fell", Wily's scheme involves a machine called a Gravitron that is pulling the moon out of its orbit. Light reveals that he built a Gravitron in his youth, and he may have some files to help counteract Wily's invention. He finds archive footage of himself and Wily in their college days; turns out college Wily stole the device ''and'' the files without Light knowing. The theft was on the tape. This is apparently the first time Light saw the video. Why would he even make the video if he wasn't going to watch it?
** The entire premise of "Campus Commandos". Why would robots need to go to school, if they can already be programmed to perform specific functions in the first place?
*** It's been suggested that the students want to learn things progressively, like humans.
** In "Robo Spider", Dr. Light analyzes a piece of the giant spider's web that he took from its initial attack. He says he can invent a device that can turn its energy-draining powers back on itself, but he needs a copy of the web's schematic to do so. Mega Man volunteers to get a copy, using the same [[PowerCopying technique he uses to copy robot master weapons]]. Cool plot, except for one thing; you already ''have'' a piece of the web, so why did Mega Man and Roll have to travel through hell and high water to copy ''another'' piece of the web?
** In "Curse of the Lion Men", if it was meant to be a curse, then why would they be given the ability to turn innocent people into other lion men or women?
*** Perhaps the entity inflicting the curse was of [[TricksterGod the trickster variety]]. That, or they felt that [[DisproportionateRetribution everyone else had to suffer]] for not stopping the original Lion Men.
*** Cause back then planes weren't invented, meaning that for all their power, the Lion Men would be stuck on an island forever.
** Why the hell does Wily constantly use Cut Man and Guts Man for his schemes when he's shown to have created far more superior and threatening and competent robots himself (Pharaoh Man and Crystal Man)? Sure, they were created by Dr. Light and could serve as some sort of insult to him, but wouldn't he want to prove that ''his'' robots are better by defeating Mega Man with them?

** Having Snake Man in the Mega X episode makes sense because most Mavericks are animal-based, as is Snake Man.
** Time and time again over the course of the series, Proto Man is seen openly disobeying orders and even sabotaging Dr. Wily because of his personal vendetta against Mega Man. Since Dr. Wily is Proto's creator, it would have made sense for him to simply reprogram Proto Man and make him more obedient, and yet he never did. That's because he would have to accept that Dr. Light was right when he warned Wily that the guidance system of their prototype was faulty. Dr. Wily doesn't want to face that bitter fact, and prefers to deal with Proto Man's disobedience.

** "The Strange Island of Dr. Wily": Woodman was among Wily's group, until sustaining heavy damage towards the end. He isn't seen escaping with them.
** In "Future Shock", Roll doesn't believe Mega is real at first, saying it's another trick of Dr. Wily's. Meaning Wily may have staged rebellions and incited false hope with a fake Mega Man.
** In "Bro Bots", Wily's plan turned out to be replacing the city's leaders with robot doubles who would obey his every whim. Standard evil villain stuff, until you realize that Mega Man found out about the plan by finding a robot copy of ''Dr. Light''. And given that he'd imprisoned the governor and Light over a pit of ''acid'', Wily may have been going for a KillAndReplace scenario...
** As noted in [[http://tjomega.blogspot.com/2011/06/tj-tv-megaman.html this review]], VideoGame/MegaManX pushed Vile and Spark Mandrill through a time portal that ''Sigma'' opened up to receive the MacGuffin for the episode. Meaning X is going to be deep in enemy territory when he exits the portal.
*** In that same episode, some have raised qualms about X's characterization and the lack of Zero. Things seem to be personal between X and Vile, with the former not caring what condition he's brought back in. And then you remember in ''X1'', Zero died at Vile's hands.
** In "Electric Nightmare", the cosmetic robot tried to use her razor on Roll, but she ducked. Looking at where the attack lines are and where Roll was in the preceding frame, she was trying to ''slice Roll in half''.
** In "Bad Day At Peril Park", Mega Man can't beat Hard Man in a straight battle, but when fires a blaster shot into Hard Man's mouth, this causes Hard Man to go out of control and explode -- rather than just falling apart at the seams like other robots have, he violently explodes into bits of shredded shrapnel. Hard Man never reappears after this episode. Mega Man must have destroyed him utterly ''on screen.'' Holy crap.
