Mega Man Ruby Spears: Electric Nightmare
Reviewed: 04/18/2021
I'm Going To Make Plastic Pellets Out Of You!
So we continue this absurd series with episode #2 of the series with this charming plotline: Dr. Wily has created a device that enables him to control all electronic machines and sends his robots to plant it in a city-wide power grid. Then, the madness begins. And as if that wasn't bad enough for Mega Man, Roll is still urging him to let her be his tag team partner, Rush malfunctions and there is a traitor lurking in Dr. Light's lab... This is going to be a long series, I just know it. So, how does this episode fare? Let's rant on shall we...?!
Electric Nightmare is written by Jeffrey Scott (Yes, that Jeffrey Scott who wrote Paradise Lost for TaleSpin that was WildCat's crowning moment of awesome) and directed by Katsumi Minoguchi. Since this is an Easter Sadism rant, there are no tributes.
We open the episode at a power plant somewhere in the USA, and the name is called Power Co. We see two men dressed in white and grey posing as security guys; and within seconds, here comes Bright Man, which the security notices right away. One of them tries to go for his gun on the non-holster side as Bright Man decides to light up their lives as he invokes the LIGHT BULB LIGHT OF DEATH; which I would think would blind them, but it seems to kill them. WHAT?! It doesn't stop time; which I would think would make sense and keep within the no kill rule; but whatever. Wily Machine RS arrives with Dr. Wily and Proto Man inside as Proto Man states the obvious within the bounds of BS&P. Cut Man and Guts Man are also there to take out the trash as Dr. Wily drives Wily Machine RS and shoots the door down. Everyone goes inside as Bright Man kills... ERRR...I mean...lights up their lives to knock them out, at least four more workers. Dr. Wily shows off a purple device called a relay override device and use it on a computer. Proto Man is given the device and he runs over and shoots a panel to open up the back of the computer to put the device in. I don't see the point of shooting the panel since it could damage the computer. Why not just open the panel with the hand normally? Damn, my head hurts already a minute in. Dr. Wily then brings out a large joystick (Speaking of whatever turns him on...) proclaiming victory and reveals his plan as Mega Man just walks in. Just like that. Mega Man proclaims that he's going to take the joy out of his joystick as it's now time for this edition of: CUTMAN IS INCOMPENDENT~! And he wastes no time proving my point with this line...
Cut Man: I'm going to make paper dolls out of you!
This line is so stupid because Mega Man is not made of paper. If he said: "I'm going to make tin dolls out of you!", this would actually make sense. But no, it has to be paper dolls. DORK~! Cut Man then proceeds to do the head edition of the Rolling Cutter and Mega Man dodges and jump kicks Cut Man in the face. Which Cut Man oversells and hits the power generator and somehow, the generator no sells it. Then we get even more comedy: Mega Man asks what is the promo you cut when chopping down a tree and Guts Man says "timber"; and the Rolling Cutter comes back and literally cuts the legs from under Guts Man, making him look like a total dork. Even worse, Mega Man blows Guts Man down and basically buries him right there. Bright Man comes in and invokes the LIGHT BULB LIGHT OF DEATH and brings in a camera (!!!); so Mega Man wears dark shades to counter. Wait, so he really is Proto Man Mark II all this time? I realize that this makes sense since they are supposed to be brothers in storyline, but this is a total burial of Bright Man barely TWO MINUTES into this episode! Oh, and Mega Man wants to tan his hide and kicks him in the face and Bright Man falls down. Oh, and somehow; Mega Man gets the camera and takes his picture, just to rub it in even further. So, Dr. Wily has had enough of this nonsense and uses the joystick and the computer Proto Man hacked in brings out the ELECTRIC METAL WIRES OF SHOCKING DEATH to tie up Mega Man and Rock screams, and then explodes! Dr. Wily thinks he has finally killed Mega Man and then we realize that it was all a dream sequence without any indication that it was, outside of Proto Man destroying a model of the power plant and the model Wily Machine RS because Proto Man wants to kill Mega Man. Dr. Wily agrees with this and now they are leaving to go to the power station. Okay, here's the obvious problem with this: If this was a dream sequence; why didn't everyone just dominate and squash Mega Man? So, even Dr. Wily's dreams are that his robots suck? And he wonders why Dr. Light wanted to start from scratch in episode #1?! What a stupid idiot?!
Oh, and the real device is a weird toaster that is pink and larger with a cord attached to it as Dr. Wily proclaims that he will show them all, especially that unfair Santa wannabe, Dr. Light. My words, not his. So, we head to the Robot Expo and head inside as a crowd of denizens watch on stage with Dr. Light, Rock and Roll with appears to be three robots under yellow covers. Dr. Light pulls the cover to reveal more 9000 domestic robots, which is basically a generic house maid, butler and old school house wife. Apparently, in the robot world, nude babies are fine, but anthro babies have to wear diapers. Good to understand BS&P in 1994 on this show. Doloris is the robo nanny as she bottle feeds a robot baby, And then I realize that the baby was nude so to demonstrate the feeding and diaper change at the same time. The butler's name is Morris who cleans a bunch of suits; without the evil execs in it, sadly. Finally, there is the robot maid Doris who almost never complains because she doesn't do windows. So, she's a Linux fan, then. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! POW! OUCH! Ummmm... Crowd is clapping on this as Roll loves this because she can train more to be a Mega Woman, but Rock is a sexist twit who wants Roll back in the kitchen again. I thought we solved this back in episode #1? I'm amazed that TaleSpin handled the sexism thing as well as they did, I really am. And THAT one was the rushed series that existed to buy time for Darkwing Duck, too! Thankfully, Roll chops the broom in response to that sexist nonsense as Rush watches on smelling the smell and licking it's chops. He loves the platter of pasta with the most brownish of sauces I have ever seen. He sniffs Doris and Doris whacks him with the FEATHERDUSTER OF DOOM which is a stupid thing to do, since Rush sneezes and all the robots fall down in a heap. And then Dr. Light BLAMES RUSH for all this and blows him off. What a bully?! Rush whimpers and bails as Rock tells Dr. Light to design a dog catcher. Oh sod off, you animalist~! Then we get an off-screen explosion as Dr. Light points out the obvious for us and Rock wants Rush to transform to Rush Jet.
Well, there is one thing he can do extremely well at least. Rock gets on Jet and Jet flies out of the expo while screaming for some reason. So, we finally head to the Power Co. as Mega and Jet land. Rock goes into stealth mode and just walks in. Rush follows and puts yellow sponges on his feet from his body to walk it, which only serves to make him sound like a goofball. So, we pretty much repeat the raid from the dream sequence earlier. The next shot with the relay override device is from the back this time as Proto Man jumps out; but Rock cuts him from the pass right from the start. Sigh; I wasn't expecting them to do a media res episode properly anyway. Proto Man claims that they were thirty second earlier in their war game edition of this sequence. Ummm, if they were thirty seconds earlier, than Mega Man would have been IN the power plant BEFORE you guys would. What a dumb comment?! Mega Man blows him off and Bright Man then claims that he destroyed Mega Man in the war room sequence, which is a really bad lie by the way. Bright Man uses the flash and Rock uses a mirror that somehow is so small that Bright Man gets blinded; but Rock doesn't. Rock yells "plasma power" (DUMB!) and Bright Man gets shot and does the Cut Man oversell, because this episode has lost all logic and reason now. Dr. Wily panics as Rock steals Bright Man's giant lightbulb head, just to further bury him, throws it to Rush and Rush uses it on the robot masters to blind them. Dr. Wily is angry and uses the JAWS OF HALF LIFE to steal the device back from Proto Man and is about to put it in the back of the computer, when Rock finds the conveniently placed STEAM PIPE OF DOOM and puts the pipe straight up the tail pipe of Wily Machine RS. Of course! Wily's machine gets destroyed (by steam no less) and Wily bails in Wily Capsule RS! Wily Capsule bails with the robot masters in tow and Dr. Wily proclaims that he'll be back.
Bryan Alvarez: You'll be back?! You're even stupider than I thought! Goodbye!
Sadly, I don't really have the courage to end this rant now; so let's go to Wily's Castle as Dr. Wily gives a verbal beatdown of his robot masters, with Proto Man virtually no selling it. Dr. Wily calls them hits of useless chips; which made me laugh. Guts Man pleads his case and Wily blows him off. Thankfully for them, Dr. Wily has a backup plan as he has planted a spy in the mists of Dr. Light's residence as a proverbal fly on the wall. Okay, this isn't a horrible idea as we head to Dr. Light's residence as Rock is in the washroom cleaning his face as he informs Morris the butler that he doesn't need to clean his teeth. The butler bails; and then one of the domestic 9000 robots bolts the door to the washroom and uses a torch to make a hole in the door and then uses the hole to pour a lethal acid solution into the washroom! Sadly, Rock continues to not be affected by it, for some reason. Way to bury the acid bath there, Rock! Rock tries to shoot the door, but the door is reinforced with Mega Buster-proof steel and the acid floods the washroom to end the segment 7 1/2 minutes in. The nonsense on plasma power continues, although the last minute has been interesting to say the least. The eye catchers continue to improve for some odd reason as Roll's design is a lot closer to her actual design here. The return eyecatcher is Rush, sadly, his promo is a lot less cool here.
After the commercial break; we return as Rock is banging on the door, no go. Rock panics and then dives underneath the acid, continuing to bury it in the process. I cannot take this seriously even if I tried; so they had no choice, but tease him drowning in acid. Jump cut to Dr. Light's lab as Dr. Light is checking on blueprints at his desk. Dr. Light writes some stuff as his lamp is going in and out and Dr. Light doesn't seem to think anything is out of sorts. He's wrong of course. Head to Power Co AFTER HAPPY HOUR (after dark) as the guards are tied up inside and Pharoh Man and Proto Man are present to shoot the panel open and Proto Man puts in the device, so Bright Man and the goofballs are fired from this job it seems. Bright Man's design was good, but -- and this is going to be one of those opinions where I am going to get swords to the throat on -- Phraoh Man's design is even better than the original video game design! I'm not joking, it really is. Oh, and somehow, Wily Machine RS is back in operation after being destroyed in the previous segment. Whhhhyyyyyyyy?! You couldn't just have him in his capsule? The continuity of this show is a joke. One of the guards is at a desk and tries to call on the phone; but Wily controls the computer now and the phone turns on the officer and ties him up. Dr. Wily proclaims that it's time for world domination as we head back to the flooded washroom as Rock is teasing drowning. Why not? He's no selling the acid and then we head outside as Dr. Light notices the washroom door is bolted and there is a pipe through the hole; which confuses Dr. Light. Dr. Light then realizes something wrong, and invokes the laser screwdriver, which destroys the bolt on the door and the door opens. Out comes Mega Man with a lot of acid and no one bothers to sell it. It might as well been water and that'll make Rock into mega mush and be a lot more believable. Roll and Rush enter as Dr. Light already believes that there is a spy in the mists. Then Doloris, Doris and Morris arrive and judging by the arms, the "Kill By No-Selling Acid" one is Doris. The caretakers decide to clean up as the others bail to the command room as Rock thinks the butler did it.
Nah, it's the maid as the television monitor fizzles in and out and we see the chief of police, known as Evans as he's panicking as we get footage of various objects just destroying property and trying to kill people, including the police officer's own lamp. The television fizzles out as everyone now realizes why Dr. Wily was at Power Co. Dr. Light decides to check his computer for counter measures as Rock calls for Rush; but Rush doesn't respond because Rush loves battery dog snacks and someone has left a trail of them in the hallway. Doris arrives to stop Rush's nose and instead of Rush bailing right away, Doris opens Rush's head, puts in a malfunction device of doom and closes Rush's head. Rush is basically shiftless as Rock arrives to blow off Rush for being an idiot. Despite this, Rush turns into Rush Jet and Rock gets on him. Jet flies away with Rock as Doris basically wishes them dead. Rock and Rush head into the city and then Rush Jet gags and is out of control as Rock bashes into a traffic light (while breaking the rules I might add) and then Rush throws Rock off of him and Rock lands into a pile of trash cans. Rock is like "What?" at a time when there is no question what happened here, and here comes Guts Man and Cut Man. Guts Man wants to junk him; but Rock dodges and shoots the Eats sign as it shatters right onto Guts Man's head. Why bother with that, if one shot of the arm cannon can knock him out? It just seems as unjustified vandalism to me. Cut Man stands in and gets off another classic howler of a line:
Cut Man: Cutting you to pieces is going to be SHEAR delight!
Cut Man does the head butt Rolling Cutter and it just misses Rock before coming back. Whiplashing jump cut of Mega Man running away and getting back on Rush Jet. Rush Jet flies into the sky and then dumps Rock on his ass on the pavement and Rock blows him off for that. Guts Man then proves how smart he is because he pets Rush Jet and Rush doesn't bite him on the leg, which means Rush is poisoned by mind control by Doris. Cut Man wants to trim the Blue Boy's live, which would be extremely short. Guts Man destroys a car for fun and demonstration of what Rock will suffer. Cut Man wants a killing, Guts Man wants a pounding, Rock asks for a say, doesn't get it, wants both at the same time, so he dumps the trash can on Cut Man and Guts Man gets the lid in the face. Both "hits of useless chips" have a meeting of the minds, and it wasn't at the chip factory. Guts Man pounds Cut Man, Cut Man shears Guts Man and that is that. Rock goes over to Rush and then remembers to open Rush's head and removes the circuit mind control board from Rush's mind and thinks this is the same robot who gave him an acid bath. Yup, the maid did it. More denizens running away stage left because of a berserked vacuum cleaner. Now this episode really sucks! HAHA!
Ron Sparks: It sucks more than Sean Desmond.
So, a bunch of denizens are running out of Circuit...ERRRRR...I mean, Gizmo City as a few out of control machines are terrorizing the populace. Dr. Wily's ugly mug is on one of the television screens, while a brown haired guy with a red shirt, brown pants and green coat watched in horror. Dr. Wily cuts a promo about exercise not hurting anyone as that man gets chased by an exercise bike in the foreground AFTER Rock and Rush enter the building and cut a promo. The logic of this episode is absolutely hideously hilarious here. Dr. Wily is not happy; but not disappointed because killing Mega Man himself would give him pleasure, or something. Rock then gets nailed with the excercise bike of course and Rock barely dodges objects for a while, and then does a karate chop to an electric hand beater. He also shoots at something and destroyed it. I have zero idea what it is and I'm not rewinding the episode to find out. Jump cut to the sports area as a dork in a yellow shirt is captured by the weights machine, despite using a model that isn't electric. Rock runs in for the save; but gets pelted with tennis balls by the tennis ball cannon. Rock finds a tennis racket and plays return serve for a while; knocking over the tennis ball cannon. Rush gets tackled by the exercise bike. Geez, this episode is going on for too long to be this boring. Rush pinballs into objects for a while and then we head outside as Roll flies in via a Wave Race-equse flight jet ski. Roll gets off and calls for the two goofballs as she goes into the cosmetic department and one of the monitors reveal Dr. Wily taunting Roll. Roll then gets pushed back by some pink haired robot in a uniform suited for nurses and Roll gets trapped into a chair. Dr. Wily continues to taunt Roll proclaiming that she'll get the beauty treatment and his eye contact violence is so perverted that I thought I was watching soft core pornography. The COSMETIC NURSE OF DEATH invokes the FACE BUFFING MACHINE OF DEAH as Roll struggles and protests this outrage to end the segment 15 minutes in. This is just brutal now.
After the commercial break, we get Roll's face dodging more buffer shots, none of them really good. We get a man backing up from a lawnmower and then a shot of the soda vending machine going nuts, spitting soda cans off the poor man's head. OUCH! Sadly, the ice cube flicking sound effect ruins the impact of the shots. Rock rushes in and savaut kicks the vending machine into blue shock waves. What? It's true, though. The man in brown tells Mega Man to watch out for the lawnmower and Rock dodges it while the man sits on the counter. More electric objects for Rock to destroy, how very nice, how very evil. All we need is Danhausen and my life in this rant would be complete. Roll then screams and she looks like a clown and the clown makeup disappeared literally three seconds later. Rock taunts the cosmetic nurse, brings out a container of ink and I say this because when Rock throws it into the CN's face, it turns her into a clown. CN panics as Rock unstraps Roll; but Roll blows off Rock and brings out the SAWBLADE OF DEATH and it's personal now. How? You lost the clown makeup in literally three seconds, far less than CN ever did. Then we get the most hideously hilarious fight in history complete with circus sounding music, just to let you know that there is no way you can take Roll seriously as a fighter. Roll cuts CN down to size and then uses the vacuum arm to suck up the mask of CN as Rock just looks confused at first, and then relieved. Rush runs in and it takes thirty seconds just to say that all the machines are surrounding the babyfaces. Of course! So, Rock decides that this is the time to bail and let Dr. Light do his dirty work as all the babyfaces flee from Gizmo City and into the subway, as a hot dog vending cycle is shooting hot dogs at them. WHAT?! I'm not even going to explain the logic of this, I'm tired and I need some sleep because I'm ranting on this at night, which is the worst time for me. So, the babyfaces get into the subway and the door closes on the hotdog stand. Rock thinks he's safe but Rush disagrees. When the dumb mutt has more sense then you, it's time to sell the train turning on you.
So, Rock and Roll use Rush as a hand glider and stop on the tracks without incident, killing whatever suspense they were trying to building. And while I am on a slow roll here: The logic of the electronics is so wonky that there are objects where there is no electric stuff and therefore it shouldn't work. I'm all for playing this for laughs, but you are taking elements from horror, in which you aren't supposed to laugh and the logic is so bad that I cannot laugh at it. Oh, and let the subway come back somehow, so we can do the run over spot! For goodness sake, please bring Cut Man back now! So, Rock finds a conveniently placed grate and opens it. The babyfaces all dodge the train and we head into the sewers and that is that. Head outside to the governor's house as we head to the governor's office which looks more generic than most governor offices in real life actually. There is an old balding man in a suit at his desk talking via Channel 4 news informing everyone he is resigned. Okay, what did the governor do this time? Besides resign because Dr. Wily threatened him to; because Wily holds all the power now. The governor bails as Bright Man, Cut Man, Guts Man and Proto Man arrive to be in key positions in Dr. Wily's force and Dr. Wily proclaims that they are all in good hands now. Yeah, I'll bet! Dr. Light is watching on from his lab as he is putting the finishing touches on his harm reduction device and in comes Doris; but Rock runs in and shoulder tackles Doris down. Roll comes in as Doris rips off her maid outfit and reveals a gun and says "Hasta la Vista, Mega Man!". Okay, there's one big problem with this line: The line is in Spanish and it translates literally to: "Until the next sighting!". It's a goodbye greeting that can mean "Until we meet again!" or "See you later!". Can you see the problem? Doris wants to destroy Mega Man; so this promo doesn't work because the promo implies that the person is fleeing from the scene, not trying to kill the guy in question. Ironically, this works better with Dr. Wily's "I'll be back" earlier on because he was really coming back. Arnold Schwarzenegger has gaslit an entire generation of people into believing that the promo is a flashy, violent way to say "die" when it's not a violent promo! Roll kicks a bucket of water right on top of Doris' head and Rock spins a broom and breaks her arms. Yes, I'm not ribbing you, this is what happens. So, Doris gets defeated with her own household items; despite being a combat robot with a gun.
Doris also gets beheaded and crumbled like a robot master as Roll proclaims that Doris made a mess. Wonder what happened to Morris and Doloris? No matter; here's Dr. Light with the counter device as he needs to return it to the Power Co grid. The thing looks like a cigarette box with a cigarette butt attached to it. Rock is given the device and Rock states that he'll do his best. So, we head into the city as chaos and a lot of entrapment ensues as Guts Man is cutting this hideous promo on the microphone somewhere. Meanwhile, Rock is practicing the fine art of not being seen by the spotlight; but the out of nowhere blue screen camera catches him running away anyway. Sigh. Dr. Wily finally calls him a blue dweeb for the third time in this series and for rant purposes, it's #5; and gets on the transmitter to call the robot police to find and kill the blue dweeb. My words, not his. Rock gets cut off by the police cars and out comes the police bots. So, the first office is next to a conveniently placed man hole cover as Mega Man shoots at him (so, Rock has a loaded weapon and is clearly firing at them, so the police would be in the right to kill him, am I right?) and then tears a stop sign down and whacks it with a giant metal ball as the police bot dodges, the man hole cover opens and the officer falls into the sewers. Damn, no one really gives a crap about the rules of billards, don't they? At least this was wacky and more accurate than the TaleSpin episodes of billards. Ponder that for a moment. Three officers surround Rock as Rock leaps on top of a fire hydrant and opens all three pipes to spray water on them. Apparently, you call the fire department when the police department is corrupt and you clean up with water. If only it were that easy. Rock runs to the Power Co. and at least the entrance is still damaged, so nice continuity for a change. Proto Man cuts him off, because of course. Rock blows him off for calling him a brother, because a brother would turn on Dr. Wily, while Proto Man basically tells him to turn on Dr. Light. Rock says no, so Blues shoots him in the chest and he goes flying into a conveniently placed Power Co. electric truck, looking at purple as it can be. Rock gets inside because Proto Man is a bigger idiot than Cut Man and Rock makes him pay with the ELECTRIC SCOOPER OF DEATH as the length of the scoop is somehow able to grab Proto Man and swing him into a dumpster that closes itself and flings the dumpster into the wall.
So yes, Proto Man gets defeated twice in two straight episodes and he's supposed to be the smart and dominant robot of the heels. Rock runs into the power company, looks both ways as if he's crossing a street and then puts the CIGARETTE LIGHTER OF DOOM into the slot of the front of the computer. Within seconds, the electric objects all stop turning on the babyfaces and everyone is free at last. Head back to the governor's office as Dr. Wily is experiencing Rock's version of Joy-Con drift. *RIMSHOT* . Rock opens the double doors and just walks in as Dr. Wily calls him an overgrown circuit breaker. Somehow, the doors close by themselves just so that Pharoah Man can make his grand entrance and now we come to the best part of the episode: Pharoah Man Vs, Mega Man as Dr. Wily orders Pharoah Man to kill Mega Man and Pharoah Man is soft; but deadly as he shoots Rock in the chest, Rock goes flying out the window with shattered glass and somehow Rock is on his back on the ground outside. Pharoah Man is leagues better than anyone on this show, just for that. How bad is this show when Pharoah Man is the only robot master that looks much cooler on this show than in the actual video games?! There is one gaping logic break though: Pharoah Man jumps down and proclaims that he'll finish Rock off and Rock bails. Pharoah Man looks around near the fountain, which is literally inches to the left of Pharoah Man and somehow the writers decided to make this the suspenseful part as Rock jumps out of the fountain, touches Pharoah Man's hand, wirefire weapon get ensues and Rock proclaims that he has his power...and then Pharoah Man is like "F*ck You~!" and punches Rock in the face and Rock goes flying. People who saw this were literally in shock that someone punched someone else in the face because we were gaslit to believe that punching in the face in a children's cartoon is forbidden. It actually isn't and it depends on BS&P in the company. Furthermore; Rock has already gotten crush by a train by Guts Man and Cut Man of all robots in the very first episode! Oh and Disney doesn't mind punches to the faces of babyfaces either: King Gregor punched Sir Victor in Gummi Bears, Baloo has punched at least four different characters in the face in TaleSpin and Fish Hooks had multiple punches in the face, including Oscar punching Shellsea who is a female character being punched by a male. It's not that special. Pharoah Man still rocks though.
Pharoah Man takes the top plate of the fountain and Rock shoots the Pharoah Shot into the plate and that sends Pharoah Man into the Team Rocket exit literally seconds later. Why are you surprised? Punch babyface, get buried; the only reason why Cut Man and Guts Man stayed is because Cut Man is a comedy geek and Dr. Wily loves Guts Man a lot, despite his bullying. Wily Machine comes out and Dr. Wily is so pissed that the animators forgot to edit out the anime angry symbol on his face. Ooops! Dr. Wily flees and says that he'll be back...
Bryan Alverez: You'll be back?! You're even stupider than I thought! Goodbye!
Rock proclaims that he'll be waiting for him and that is that. We return to Dr. Light's lab to wrap things up as the counter device has a security chip to prevent Dr. Wily from doing anymore BS on the Power Co, not confident about that one as Roll proclaims that she reprogrammed Doris to be Rush's personal trainer as Doris is feeding battery treats to Rush and Rush is just being a total prick in the process. Time to walk the dog, but Rush turns into Rush Jet and flies with Doris in tow on a green leash because of course! That ends the episode at 23:00 approx. Okay, the ending was one of the funnier ones; but the episode was a total mess and an indictement of what is to come for this series in general. This was *** 1/2 on the trainwreck scale for the logic of non-electric items being electric for no real reason whatsoever, the dumbest dream sequence ever not named Chargeman Ken, Cut Man being Cut Man, Doris not understanding Spanish, and Pharoah Man basically protesting this show while acting cooler than his video game counterpart and thus got buried within a minute and we never see him again. What a tragedy this was?! -* (-20%).
THE REVIEW LINE
Normally, I would write down a long list of ups and downs on this episode; but it's not really worth the time nor effort here. The last paragraph of this review pretty much explains it all and get used to it, the trainwreck is going to get even more gruesome in later episodes. Still; seeing Pharoah Man punch Mega Man in the face was funny, so I at least got some perverse entertainment out of this. So....
Thumbs way down and I'll see you all next time.
