why is mmx the favorite

You can if the creator says "x or y" happened after the story is already completed. You can't just change a story that is already completed and out to the public just because you created it.

 

Last I recall, Zero in X4 killed anything that moves, but was reprogrammed and it was apparently how he was before the series started? Idk, but Inafune is wrong.

 

i love mega man mess lore discussions can this happen more often

But naw like my understanding is that yeah he was a total ****ing psychopath, and I don't think Inafune was denying/retconning that necessarily as iirc he had a lot of control over the plot of X4. But that in itself doesn't necessarily prove Zero murdered the Classic cast either is the issue! We know he was built for the express purpose of killing Mega Man, and he was at some point sealed off in that abandoned lab before reawakening and slaughtering basically everything he came across/releasing the Virus and transferring it to Sigma. But what happened before then is a mystery, and another common theory is that he was totally uncontrollable even by Wily so Wily sealed him away (there may even be some canon info to back this theory up but unfortunately I do not have my Complete Works book on hand to check lol).
The theory actually explains a number of things about 21XX, though. For example, Zero is canon-chronologically revealed in one of the Mega Man arcade games when Wily mentions him to Bass, and his silhouette is clearly shown to have the squared shoulder plates/Z-Saber. But when Zero wakes up in that capsule, he's got rounded shoulders and no saber -- perhaps because Wily sealed him off and died before he could be 100% completed, yeah?
There's also the issue of X5, because if Zero goes Maverick, he becomes incredibly calm and focused on killing X -- he doesn't revert to the way he was in X4 outright. This being the case, it could be argued that Zero's initial Maverick behavior was the result of some kind of problem, and that Awakened/Maverick!Zero's X5 behavior is the way he was really intended to be. None of this solves the mystery of what happened to all the 20XX robots, though, which is a big problem that the Cataclysm theory addresses :V

At the end of the day I'm not even sure anybody at Capcom thought as hard about the Mega Man timeline as fans have, so there are probably contradictions that are just there because Capcom messed up honestly lol. I definitely feel that these are questions that will never be answered as it would require giving a definitive end/death to much of the Classic cast, which is.... Well, tonally a no-no, and would mean ending that series to boot.

 

JK Rowling says Voldemort is pronounced with a silent t at the end despite years of pronouncing the t herself

 

When I said that I meant there's a difference between word of god changing something that clearly happened in the content vs word of god saying something did or did not happen outside of the story. Like backstory, for example, that couldn't exist in the content for whatever reason. Like, theories are theories, and if a creator says it didn't happen I don't see how that is necessarily wrong.

 

The creators of Gif say it's pronounced "Jif."
they're wrong.

 

No, they're right. That's how you pronounce it, "jif".

 

That's a Donald Trump opinion.

 

Dude what the ****, how does my different pronunciation of a word suddenly make me have a Donald Trump opinion

That's like me saying I hate candy corn to someone who loves candy corn and then they suddenly called me a Nazi.

Are you trying to fight me?

 

I haven't had candy corn since like the 3rd grade, but I am pretty sure such an outlandish opinion would qualify for harsh name calling.

 

You think someone not liking or not doing something is qualification for calling someone a Nazi?

 

I wasn't being serious lol

What's more ridiculous is you'd think I'd call someone a Nazi over candy corn....

 

They also said it wasn't for animations.

 

I didn't actually think you would it was more of the justification thing but ANYWAY STAR TOLD ME TO STOP I DON'T ACTUALLY WANT TO FIGHT

 

And fight partially about GIFs ends with a JPEG.

It's deep if you read it in an awesome voice, like Morgan Freeman or something.

 

so how bout them mega man games
pretty cool huh
im bad at them tho

 

When I first played them as a kid, I remember I was laying down recovering from surgery and it took me pretty much the entire recovery period just to beat like four stages. Of course I was a little kid and didn't understand the concept of "don't keep making the same mistake", but god damn was it a fun journey at the time.

 

i almost beat the first x one time. zero is super hard and ive never gotten past the 2nd boss i think? the one that can fly i think? but i love the gameplay and art of those games. pretty much any game with that kind of gameplay im bad at by default. like im p bad at gunvolt too even though i like it. i got up to the part where you fight all the bosses and gave up lol. just need to play more i guess.

bump sorry but this is a weirdly relevant article that just got posted last week so i'm leaving it for anyone interested

also the suffering that is playing a mega man game for the first time is arguably one of my favorite/most memorable things about it lol. I'll never forget the frustration of dying over and over and feeling like I was never going to get anywhere but not being able to put it down because DAMMIT I WOULD NOT BE BESTED. Subjecting my friends to the same thing gives me such joy in life
