@@powerstar-uf7oh This is what happened to Nickelodeon shows of the 2010s like The Thundermans, Breadwinners, Bella and the Bulldogs and Henry Danger. Even though they are some shows that are horrible (if not the worst of the worst) yet a common level of quality for Nickelodeon, they do end with a bang (yet at the same time, that could probably be a bad thing since it is also Nickelodeon’s excuse to wait until the finales to improve the show to the point where they are at their best... yet when they finally get it right, it’s their other excuse to make sure they are gone for good is to treat it like it wasn’t supposed to be at its peak until the finale which all the buildup is supposed to lead to. I’m sorry, no! That is no excuse! Maybe the shows would have been at their best in the finale, but even then, they deserved to have a frequently good track record even and far before they ended). So like Thundercats Roar! and other Cartoon Network reboots after Thundercats 2011 (except for Wabbit, that is underrated), Fully Charged is a Cartoon Network show that is so bad/one of the worst to the point of being closer to comparable to post-2000s Nickelodeon standards. This would have been no longer the case had it been cancelled a long time after it got good. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have ended like the evil people of Nickelodeon (especially Dan Schneider) with their “They just for kids they no deserve better” attitude. Because while I do think that even after the 2000s, Cartoon Network is a channel I like/respect more than not, sometimes when they make bad shows, they can be memorably awful with how they responded to reasonable negative criticism like Teen Titans Go!, Modern Wacky Races, The Powerpuff Girls (late 2010s) and of course, Poop Mouth With Poop Opinions (aka Thundercats Roar)!

"It's definitely the best Mega Man show". Oh, hell no. I don't hate Fully Charged (quite the opposite, I thought it was a neat children's action show), but this is a HORRIBLE disserve to Rockman.EXE, especially if you're only familiar with the NT Warrior dub (which got cut after Axess), how we see Lan to grow from merely the operator while MegaMan.EXE does all the work, to a NetSaver alongside Chaud and also combat in the real world when the Dimensional Area and Cross Fusion gets introduced. Or how he becomes an Envoy of Duo in Rockman.EXE Stream. Hell, even Ryuusei no Rockman, which already had everything against it, having less than half the budget Rockman.EXE had, has a lot more going on for it in character charm and action set-pieces than Fully Charged ever did. Hell, I'd argue Ryuusei no Rockman Tribe had a more sensical plot than Mega Man Star Force 2, the game it was based on, so...

[@Andy-sj4ip]

I mean exe axess and stream were really good season for Star force I wished the first season of anime was a bit more faithful to the story and the social issue each character had and the second season tribe even though it was rushed was fine (nothing could be worse than what we got for a plot than sf2)

[@kat_lynx]

@@Andy-sj4ip I think the worst part is that Star Force 2 had a solid foundation, OOParts are a genuinely interesting topic, the whole concept of lost technology fits Mega Man very well, but the game was horribly rushed, and that shows in the writing... At least the gameplay was good. What about Beast and Beast+ in your opinion, though?

[@hedgehoundable]

To be fair, NT Warrior had a shit-ton of filler that bogged down the story and pacing. Like the beginning of one of the later seasons sets up some climactic world threat and then Lan and Mega Man just fart about for five episodes before they realize "Oh yeah, there's that plot thing we were supposed to address."

[@kat_lynx]

@@hedgehoundable I think that's a symptom of following the games to a fault, after replaying BN, there sure is a lot of meandering and doing whatever plot fetch quests until the next big dungeon (or turning the Internet itself into the dungeon, screw FreezeMan and FlameMan), so I agree. However, I still maintain Rockman.EXE as a whole package is still much more entertaining than Fully Charged.

[@hedgehoundable]

@@kat_lynx I suppose. If you were to cut out said filler, it'd be way more satisfying. If anything, an adaptation of the manga would be even better. As far as I can tell there's not much if any filler aside from downtime between major arcs.

[@PSWeasel]

I worked on the European Portuguese dub of this show as a translator and adapter. I was already a pretty big Megaman fan and it was actually a lot of fun. I'm with you on the fact that the show got a lot better as it continued on. The biggest problem with it is it had waaaay too many "whys" in some decision making (seriously, why isn't Breaker just Wily?). There were some very interesting things in the notes I was given for the show's production with ideas that I personally had no idea that's what they were planning to do down the line that seemed super interesting, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. Awesome review.

04:17 Oh boi look like egoraptor is going to rant something in Twitter again

[@merchantziro4285]

As a Mega Man fan, I don't mind the redesign all that much since Sonic Boom and Pac-Man did the same as you mentioned. I can say that it did try to be like Mega Man, but different. And I will say it's not the worst Mega Man show ever made, if you don't believe me check out Captain N. But I wouldn't say it's the best, there are better shows like Mega Man NT Warrior, the anime adaption of the spinoff series Mega Man Battle Network. If you want an idea, think Digimon and Pokemon fused with Mega Man and you threw Yu Gi Oh in there with multiple Battle Chips to give the NetNavis different weapons and abilities. It went on for multiple series (We got NT Warrior and Axess, but Japan also got Stream, Beast, and Beast+) Each series follows NetNavi MegaMan.EXE and his operator, Lan Hikari. It does stay faithful and each series adapts the games, but does take a few creative liberties such as the introduction of the Synchro Chip in Axess, which allows certain users and their NetNavis to combine in specific dimensional areas that allows Darkloids and Viruses to be physical, allowing Lan to become MegaMan. It's pretty good. I would also much more heavily advise the OVA, Mega Man: Upon a Star, a 3 episode series about Mega Man coming into the real world from his video game world in order to stop Dr. Wily after a kid leaves the game on when he falls asleep, letting the doctor escape since Mega Man is forced to be still due to lack of player input. It's also pretty good, if I had to recommend one of the two, I'd say you might enjoy this one more.

The show was also made in Canada so the voice cast (by no coincidence) consisted of some familiar people: Edd as Wave Man (who already did voices in the English dub of NT Warrior) Optimus Primal as Dr. Light (who already did voices in the Ruby Spears cartoon including Guts Man) Mega Man as seen in Powered Up also voiced Bert Wily ironically enough Eddy’s Brother voiced directed the series (and also voiced Cut Man in the Ruby Spears cartoon) The great and powerful Trixie also voiced Hypno Woman and Blasto Woman

I do recommend seeing it. Personally I think everyone just booted it because it "wasn't Mega Man", which is unfair (and I admit, I was the same back then). I can tell the crew respected the original franchise (even put in some fun easter eggs at times), and the liberties it did take were done relatively well. The only issue I really have is with some of the writing (especially regarding Ice and Cut Man), but overall not a bad watch. Also the comics are good too.

And also, they're not saying that this character is this character forever, it's like saying that Sigma bEcaME Wily so now 21XX iS bAD, for example everyone is mad that Rock is not the FC Mega Man's name, or that Albert Wily is eternally going to be a child from now on, no matter what series. Just my opinion

[@dokusei9700]

not going to argue with you in any way that might offend you, but imagine taking your childhood memories, and changing them, by stripping originality and charm from the concept and characters, I love this game and the shows and series that came out of it, but when they take things to far by moving story away, it just becomes something you lose interest in. I still love mega man, but this show has removed most of my love for the bosses such as Airman, which they replaced with a lanky twig-like fan, and wood man as a stick with warms, not even a huge log, as it was in Mega Man 2.

Pretty sure literaly nobody was thinking that. Like Pacman Adventures and Sonic Boom before it, everyone was angry this even existed at all.
