Mega Man Episodes 7-9 Review

Dr. Wiley says we will not take over the world

unless we are listening to pixels in the animation

pixels in the animation this is episode 49 I

am your host TF2 and Mike joining me is TV's

Mr. Neil. Fight for everlasting peace. Or a gov

stopper. It's Megaman 2 ending. Oh. He said or

a gov stopper what the hell? And of course we

have Steve Megatron hello. Hello. Another week

another dose of Mega Man you guys ready for this.

Oh It's ready as will ever be Come on now. It's

not as bad as some of the other crap. We've covered

in the past Thank God put your gobstoppers away

cherry heads or better Okay folks, we're gonna

get to the episodes after this. Maybe he's learning

a little too much. Up first we have 20 ,000 Leaks

Under the Sea. This was written by Martin Pascoe,

or Pascoe, however you want to say it. October

23rd, 1994 was the air date. Dr. Wiley attacks

an underwater mining operation and then tries

to get rid of Dr. Light and Mega Man with a fake

laboratory that turns out to be a mobile prison

dun dun dun. You mean a giant at -at walker underwater?

Pretty much, yeah. Pretty much It was cool seeing

dive man, but I completely forgot about like

when wave man showed up I'm like whoa wait two

water bots at the same episode Rush as a sub

is awesome Let's see thank God role was never

in any of the games. Oh my god cuz She leaves

to go help them She's flying it. God knows how

fast of a speed she hits that water. She would

have been dead She wouldn't have just gone underwater.

She the oh I Know it's cartoon logic, but well,

she's also a robot. So she doesn't die. I know

I know but well She could die if the thing exploded

Better than before no just no I thought the underwater

animation was pretty awesome in this episode

because technically most of the episode does

come Does happen underwater for the most part

and I thought it was pretty good It's nitpick

time when they're having the underwater battle

when the water rush in when proto man open the

door to the skullcopter Because it happens when

Mega Man opens the door to leave the the prison

And this is one of those episodes and this actually

happened a while ago with a different With an

actual animated movie. It kind of gave me a false

sense of ending at first It was like, oh, yeah,

everything's fine. Then I look at the counter

and like, oh no, I still have 15 minutes left

What the hell is going on here? Um Neil thoughts

I I'm not entirely sure what you're referring

to, but the episode, I thought overall it was

one of the better animated episodes of the series

thus far. I mean, there haven't been any coloring

mistakes in this cartoon, which I noticed in

like almost every cartoon. And the few mistakes

I do see are usually like derpy eyes on Mega

Man, but this episode was animated particularly

well, so I got to give it props. I wasn't really

looking for continuity errors. Probably should

be because that's what I've been doing the whole

time on cartoons, but I mean it was it was an

okay episode it was I thought that the the battery

draining on on Mega Man was kind of I Don't know

cliche. I guess Just cuz it see he seemed to

drain very quickly. He's like, oh no, I'm out

of energy and then like five minutes later He's

asleep. Oh Yeah, but I think the only reason

why they did that was so they could actually

use Eddie and have Waspinator in there as well.

Because Eddie's voice is the same as Waspinator

since it is Scott McNeil. And Mega Man can drink

his energy drink. I think I've figured out what

that is. It's robot spinach. Alright, anyone

that has musical skills out there, I want you

to modify the 1994 Mega Man theme song to...

No, not modify. I want you to mash it up with

Popeye the Sailor Man and see what you get. Oh,

Lord. Alright, Steve, what did you think for

this one? I don't want to see the legend of Jar

Jar Binks with Annette Walkers in Mega Man. I

mean, I'm just I'm just being brutally honest

here. It's it was like watching Star Wars attacking

Mega Man Yeah, I can see that why did they make

episode one after Mega Man we ran out of ideas

What would you rate this one Steve like a one

Really well, I'm gonna do I just okay Neil I'll

give it a three it was kind of silly, but if

the animation makes up for it yeah, I'm gonna

give it a three and a half like like Neil said

the animation does make up for it and the plot

may be stupid as hell, but It's dr. Wiley. He

never really has any really good super genius

moments. I mean hell with Wile E. Coyote falling

off a cliff is more of a super genius moment

than Dr. Wile E. has ever had, really. So, we're

gonna get to the next episode after this. Hurry

up, Rush. And bring the right parts this time.

Looks like you got everything but the kitchen

sink. Huh? We'd better check out that alarm.

Hey, what about me? Why, these robots are destroying

the Smithsonian Museum. We'll stop them! folks

up next is the incredible shrinking mega man

written by Gary Greenfield October 30th 1994

was the air date dr. Wiley steals three gems

from a museum and uses them to shrink major cities

and mega man done done done I have to say you

know Steve mentioned I think it was was it last

week that you there was one episode which you

really remembered you know, watching it as a

kid. This is the one episode I remember as a

14 -year -old watching this show. The Incredible

Shrinking Mega Man. Because it was Rush versus

the lady's little dog there. You know, I mean,

yeah, sure, this might be this is your standard

villain, shrinks the hero or shrinks the cities

and then sells them, but... This episode was

just fun for me And I truly think this is where

Arnold stole his idea from because the the gems

are the power source. Oh boy And then I felt

like okay, so this is either mr. Freeze from

Batman and Robin or Rick Moranis from honey I

shrunk the kids But it was kind of awesome seeing

the baton tons right Neil Well, they're accurate

yeah, that's good, they're not off color or different,

you know, they're not pink and purple It's almost

it's almost as bad as like Mario like Mario villains

there with those The Baton Tons. Looks like Marty

McFly was right. That shark still looks fake.

Tiny shark. Yeah, poor shark. What do you got,

Neil? I gotta call it, I think this was a G .I.

Joe episode, wasn't it? Or at the very least,

the plot of the third Ninja Turtles video game

on the NES. I swear I've seen this before. A

super villain shrinks a city or the nation's

capital, one other or the both, and decides to

auction them off to rich criminals for some reason.

There must be like a Rolodex of like Cartoon

plots that like every studio uses at least every

studio in the 90s used it and I Honestly think

this is a plot that even miles mayhem of venom

and mask use too. I wouldn't doubt it Steve thoughts

They've done this before in other series. I do

think it's funny the incredible shrinking Mega

Man is a play on the incredible shrinking woman,

but No, I mean the animation is pretty good overall

and then some of the effects that they did with

Mega Man and you know him take control of a car

while he's like miniature size or I think it

would have been funnier if they changed his voice

while he was little Yeah, they don't squeak here

like From a distance, but when you're up close

to them, it's normal. Or make them sound like

the Mega Man 8 version of Mega Man. Or make them

sound like the Captain N version. No! That's

it. You're kicked off this podcast. What the

hell's wrong with you? Little scrunched up Mega

Man. Mega High! Get me a roll! Oh my god. Oh

wow, Steve, what are you gonna rate this one?

I'll give it a 3. Neil? I'll give it a 3. I keep

giving it these 3s, but you know, it's like,

they're both not spectacular and yet not offensive.

They're just kind of in the middle, kind of funny.

So, yeah. I'm gonna give this one a 4. Like I

said, I really enjoyed it. I love all the tricks

that they pulled while Mega Man and Rush were

small. I Love the old lady's reaction when they

pull the wig off I just I Wish there was some

sort of confrontation between rush and her dog

though like I mean they they kind of skirt around

that issue but nothing really ever happens with

it, but I guess they couldn't they didn't have

time to do that, but um Alright folks. We're

gonna move on to the final episode of the day.

We'll be back after this Don't worry we can play

with them when we get to Geneva We'll have plenty

of time to settle into our hotel and relax before

the International Science Conference begins tomorrow.

I'm pretty relaxed right now. Did I say something

about being relaxed? Where did they come from?

Wouldn't you like to know? We're coming for you,

Bill Cleeb! I can't use my plasma cannon in here.

Too dangerous! Transfer written by Richard Merwin.

Airdate November 6 1994. Dr. Light and Mega Man

roll in rush fly to a conference and encounter

Dr. Wiley's robots on the airplane along the

way. Turns out Wiley has built transport chambers

capable of somehow transferring circuits from

one robot to another. Mega Man gets swapped into

Snake Man's body and has to save the world in

that form. Oh lord. I really like this one, but

just reading that description just... I don't

know. It's really nice to see Snake Man. And

then the old couple when Mega Man gets on the

tour bus. This is more fun than sightseeing!

Oh lord. Mega snakes. Oh no, and then you mentioned

it. I think it was last week suffering circuits

suffering cyborgs It's like it's like hey, we're

Sylvester somebody called they they have your

catchphrase here But no again, this is another

one of those episodes that I really love I I

was never sure about some of these because of

the titles Look at the title and I'm like, oh

no, what is this gonna be and then I watch and

I'm like, oh, of course I remember this one I

really like this one. I think it was interesting.

I think it's interesting that they do something

that probably was well, I Guess in the games

technically Mega Man switches bodies with everybody

since he always is changing colors depending

on what weapon is attached to him but they never

really did anything like this in the games of

actually physically switching the personalities

of the robots what about you neil would you like

or not like about this one well i think it should

be a rule that if you're if you're in a nineties

cartoon and you run into a character you've never

seen before it's either a the villain in disguise

b someone who's working for the villain or c

a robot That's what also works for the villain.

It never comes out good. And so naturally Mega

Man's like, oh, here's this character I've never

met before. I'm going to follow him. And oops,

I got tricked into turning into Snake Man. Yeah,

I think it would have been more fun if Mega Man

and Roll had switched bodies. I think. Oh, I

think the Internet would have loved that. Oh,

the Internet is that. Oh. it's it's not rule

34 that I forget no but there is a rule oh my

god that's so crazy Steve thoughts um I enjoyed

it because it was it kind of reminded me the

Lex Luthor flash episode of Justice League mm

-hmm yep villain and hero body, hero and villain

body. Then everybody's like, I hate you, you're

evil, get away from me. And then they're like,

why is someone so acting weird? And then it just

dumbfounds me that they're like, they don't even

know who they're friends with based on the personality.

And I like that this tube miraculously also teleports

people. Well, I see that's this thing I didn't

remember it's like their Urkel machine Yeah,

they put them in they they put in a robot. They

change his body. They put in a robot. They change

his body Well see the thing with me is I thought

they were actually transporters like you know

like like Star Trek and they were at first until

Dr. Wiley revealed the hidden talent of them

or the alternate or the super secret code to

do have them do something else uh... what would

you rate this one steve i'll give it about three

same thing three once again not great not an

offensive so right in the middle for me this

is another one that i remember as a kid sort

of uh... and i do really like how mega man adapts

to being in Stinkman's body, so I'm gonna give

it a four. I really dug it. I thought it was

interesting. I thought it was pretty cool, so

We are gonna take a quick break come back with

final thoughts and close the show after this

really stands out yet. But I know that they will

come. You're just waiting for the X Factor, we

know. I don't like the X Factor, I like Mega

Man X. Get it right. What about villains? I'm

pretty indifferent on them. It doesn't really

matter to me I as long as It's a halfway decent

villain that's being paired I don't care like

I mean it's it's it works some of them are obviously

weaker than others like Captain earthquake and

bricks brick shit house I just I don't care for

them or captain balls Crystal man So, I mean

it's it's it's one of those I don't really care

for those types but like when you get to like

snake man or Bomb man or some of those other

guys that that show up. It's I I don't mind them

as much I Wish bright man would show up again.
