News: Sounds Like The Live-Action Mega Man Movie Is Coming to Netflixhttps://t.co/KusoLuM6xL pic.twitter.com/SnXNVZ4qlV

— Brian (@Protodude) December 3, 2021

Not a great sign so far.

Unless they go the Sonic/Detective Pikachu route with the robots, I’m not interested

I think an animated series would have been a better approach.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I remember that CN Mega Man animated series in 2018

it had potential, I really did like the sprite animated segments, but a lot of the jokes fell flat and they didn’t focus on building the plot

it’s a shame, it really could have been better

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Sephiroth could live literally anywhere there’s a Hot Topic.

Whenever a new hot topic opens in another state, he very quickly moves to that state

 

[SneakyLink]

Whenever a new hot topic opens in another state, he very quickly moves to that state

But does Sephiroth bring the orchestra that plays One Winged Angel with him every time he moves to a new state?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Being a Japanese player and visiting a persons dream island only to see a pair of shoes sitting on the beach by the water and you cant find the player

 

[Michael the Spikester]

We're now just two weeks away from No Way Home.

Think this is going to be our first COVID-era billion-dollar hit for sure.

And they say theaters are dying...Lol.

 

[osby]

Think this is going to be our first COVID-era billion-dollar hit for sure.

And they say theaters are dying...Lol.

Independent ones are not in a great shape, though. It's all chain movie theaters now. There's a theatre in my neighbourhood that had to be closed last year and it was a hallmark of the city that was open since the early 60s.

 

[Will]

I think an animated series would have been a better approach.

Remember the one from two years ago that bombed? Maybe kids just aren't interested in Mega Man tbh.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I suspect theaters won't be as big as they used to be but I do think they'll always be here. Think basically the new drive-in theaters but on a bigger scale as streaming becomes more popular. Not sure if I worded it right but you get my drift.

There's always going to be lots of people like me that enjoys the experience and that will keep them going.

 

[Aurane]

I looked into my reflection and said to myself, "damn, I'm a Shiny."

 

[Hadokeyblade]

The two copies of Super Robot Wars 30 i ordered have arrive in my hometown, now i just hope they get delivered before my brother gets home from work, one of those two copies is intended for him.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

But does Sephiroth bring the orchestra that plays One Winged Angel with him every time he moves to a new state?

I feel like the orchestra waits for him.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

The Time Is Now…soonly

 

[TheMightyP]

A live action Mega Man can work well tbh.

I mean, it's gonna require a **** ton of CGI and some overtime with the costume designs, but it can work.


Though if you ask me, I would argue that Mega Man X woupd work better as live action given the fact that Netflix is king of dystopian future genres and MMX seems to be up their alley.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I would love for a sequel series to Hilda involving her grown-up traveling the world with Twig exploring.

It's been a headcanon of mine that the setting of Hilda is an alternate earth set in the 90s where civilization co-exists with mythical creatures of their lands. Examples.

Australia: Bunyip, Malingee, Papinijuwari, Yowie
Egypt: Bennu, Serpopard, Set Animal, Sphinx
Greece: Centaur, Gorgon, Harpy, Satyr
Japan: Kappa, Kitsune, Oni, Yuki-onna
New Zealand: Aitu, Maero, Poukai, Taniwha
Northern Canada: Adlet, Akhlut, Ijiraq, Qallupilluit

One more year and it will be old enough to buy booze.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Who in their right mind goes to a theater during a pandemic like, my friend wants tonsee a movie on Sunday, low key hoping plans get cancelled, and I'm only going because she is my friend but I have to think why the hell is she intent on going to movie theaters when there is a virus going around

Speaking of mythology

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

“I’m Flight Caladrius. You look fine to me but an examination wouldn’t hurt. Just in case.”

Alignment: Neutral-Law

Origin: Roman mythology. A snow-white bird that lives in the king's house and possesses the ability to diagnose sick people: If it looks into the face of a sick person, the person will live; if it looks away, the person will die. For curable conditions, it takes the sickness into itself and flies to the sun to burn away the disease. In Christianity, it symbolizes Jesus’s sinlessness.

Skills: Media, Makarakarn, Me Patra, Zan

Next time you will meet a demon of the Night race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

Originally, Caladrius has no distinctive traits other than being white so the stethoscope and red cross are good additions to make it more visually interesting. The latter also makes sense since Christians also adopted its myth during the middle ages and occasionally used it to justify discrimination against people who supposedly wouldn't be saved by Caladrius. It usually plays the role of an early game healer.

 

[Linkmain-maybe]

Where is everybody getting these Santa chibi profile pictures?!

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, beinging up the Mega Man movie and Theaters, from what I heard, it was originally suppossed to come out in Theaters, but it got moved to Netflix.

I know this wasn't a must see movie, but I think it's safe to say that streaming will be the future.

Nah, I plan to do so with the No Way Home tickets already.

Real "Hola Peter" hours
Before anyone gets worried, yes It is a joke.

 

[Schnee117]

The live action Mega Man film should just go with Bad Box Art Mega Man tbh

 

[TMNTSSB4]

You said it
Now you gotta buy all the remaining Spidey tickets

 

[Wademan94]

I still feel like a live action movie could work if all the robots’ CGI were styled like Sonic and Detective Pikachu. Cartoon styled robots in a real life setting I feel wouldn’t be too implausible. But putting it on Netflix makes me feel like the budgets gonna be a lot more limited. Or at least not as big as what I’m picturing. To be fair what I am picturing would require a lot of CGI budget but it would’ve been nice to see a little faith being put into this by Capcom.

Think I’m gonna take the time to repost my trailer concept just to show what I personally would think would work for this film.

Spoiler

Dr. Light: “After you finish your chores of course.” (Leaves them to an extremely messy laboratory)

Rock: “Have fun sis, I’m gonna see if I can defeat Cyber-Akuma.” (Pulls out a PlayStation controller)

Roll: “Come on, Rock! Could you please give me a hand?” (Changes expression to annoyed) “If you actually throw your hand at me, I will smack you with it.”

Rock: (Already holding his detached hand) “Heh heh. Couldn’t resist.” (Puts his hand back on)

(Cut to a sinister looking laboratory. MM11 Wily Capsule Theme starts playing)

Dr. Wily (played by Hugh Laurie): “All these years living in your shadow are over, Thomas.” (Smashes a mug while watching Light’s ceremony on his monitor)

(Bomb Man throws a couple bombs around the city, knocking away some humans, Ice Man freezing cars and fire hydrants.)

Fire Man (voiced by Nick Offerman): “I’ll burn this place to the ground!!!” (Surrounded by flames in a burning factory)

Dr. Light (in despair): “How could this happen?! I need to stop this somehow!” (Rock looks to the monitor and then to his fists, clenching them)

Rock: “With all due respect Doctor, I don’t think a non-mad scientist would act like: (using a recording of Wily’s laugh) Mwa-hahaha!!” (imitating Wily’s pose while laughing)

Dr. Light: (raises his finger like he’s about to say something) “…fair point.”

AND POWER UP

(Giant electric sparks shoot out of a power plant)

Elec Man (voiced by Nathan Fillion): “If it isn’t Light’s golden child.”

Mega Man: “I don’t wanna fight you…” (narrowly avoids Cut Boomerang as it sticks into the wall behind him) (Narration) “but I’ll do what it takes to protect my city.” (Slightly battle damaged with sparks flying, he gets back up with a determined look on his face. Cut to scenes of him
being consoled by Light and Roll.)

Mega Man: “I will fight for everyone's future!” (MM lifts up some rubble that trapped some of his classmates. He offers his hand out to them.)

Rush: “Ruff!” (Accidentally activates Rush Coil and sends Rock through the ceiling. Human friend tries to shield themselves while cringing)

Rock (half buried in the ceiling, Rush hanging off his foot trying to pull him out) “We’re still…working on that command.”

At this point just have to accept COVID is pretty much here to stay and we'll have to live with it being seasonal. It's gotten too out of hand that it can't be contained.

Like with the flu, people are just going to have to keep getting yearly shots and COVID is pretty much going to be seen basically another "flu" at this point only more deadly.

And let's prepare ourselves too for in the future more viruses will emerge that will make COVID seem like it was an inconvenience but never the less we'll band together and fight these viruses even if one does collapse civilization at some point which I do believe in due to mutations and bypassing immunities and vaccines. One of these viruses that will most certainly unleash the ugliness in everyone and their true selves if the protesting, rioting, and anti-vaxxers we've seen are anything to go by because keep down no matter how kind anyone maybe, everyone has sin deep down and in nature we're all the same selfish, greedy and only thinking for ourselves which will eventually lead to humanity's downfall.

I mean, you're right that COVID is gonna stick around for a bit but why did you go full anime villian monolouge at the end?

Because as COVID has shown us, it's the truth regarding a virus in the future that will likely collapse civilization. Ours will be no different from previous ones like the Roman Empire, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Aztec Empire, etc.

And this is how humans have been since we first appeared especially if pushed to our absolute limit.

I'm just stating what's sadly the truth whether one doesn't want to admit it or not.

"Humans only think for themselves" is baseless pessimism with no proof.

There are actually a lot more academic studies that show humans are inherently empathetic of each other's needs and prioritizing the community over ourselves is the norm, not selfishness.

Yes but only because most of us live good and normal lives. Say an apocalypse were to occur or pushed to our limit then that's put to the test. COVID has really shown this especially. Survival especially would be on the only thing on our minds.

I mean, humans are quite literally social animals. We would not make it this far if it weren't for uplifting each other in society.

Hell, we literally evolved to believe that selfishness is an evil trait.
