Writer shares some words about the Mega Man animated series
The Mega Man animated series was made entirely official this past week. Some concrete details about the show were announced, and we were even given a first look at the character’s appearance. Unfortunately, the fan reception wasn’t too hot.
Joe Kelly is one of the writers involved with the new Mega Man animated series. Likely in response to the harsh reception thus far, he put up a few messages on Twitter on Thursday.
Here’s what Kelly shared:
1 – I want to thank everyone for loving MegaMan and having such strong opinions. That's really cool…

2 – Even cooler when you express them with care and thought. Nothing I can say will counteract the shock you may feel when…

3 – An image released doesn't match the one you had in your head. Same with a storyline. A name. A set up. All I can say is what I said b4–

4 – We always set out with our partners to create the best show we can. That's all creative people do. All day. Every day.

5 – Some of what we create will suit your taste. Some will not. I only ask, as I did before, that folks wait until a show is on the air…

6 – Before assuming that their favorite thing is ruined forever. The whole reason I engaged folks last time was BECAUSE we respect fans…

7 – Just because our collective approach doesn't match your ideas is not an attack on you.

8 – That's all I have on this. I can't answer questions or get into specifics for legal, personal and creative reasons…
— Joe Kelly (@JoeKellyMOA) May 26, 2016
9 – But I hope you give the show a chance when it airs. Thanks for your passion and thoughtfulness. Best to you!
