Plot Synopsis
Dr. Light has built a time machine (I'm already worried for this episode) and Dr. Wily shows up to steal it. In the midst of combat, Mega Man shoves Dr. Light into the time machine and sets it for a minute in the future. Wily escapes, but when the time machine comes back, Dr. Light is missing. Mega Man, thinking he's sent Dr. Light missing in time, jumps in the machine to go after him and takes off. Uberknownst to Mega Man, Dr. Light was thrown out of the time machine from an explosion and is actually still in the present! Uh-oh!
Mega Man arrives 30 years in the future and the world has been taken over by Dr. Wily since Mega Man went missing. Mega Man goes in search of Dr. Light, but runs into a little girl and her father who are being arrested for trading illegal contraband, in this case a Mega Man comic. If it's the Brazilian version, they should count themselves lucky it's being confiscated. He saves them and they inform him that Dr. Light is being held at one of Wily's prisons.
Mega Man gets himself arrested and runs into Roll in the prison as well. They break out (in the stupidest way possible) and rescue Dr. Light. They try to get back to the Time Machine, but Wily's bots steal it. Mega Man breaks back into Wily's fortress and goes to steal the Time Machine back, but when he does, a bomb goes off in it. It's not enough to destroy Mega Man, but it disables the time machine. Apparently Proto Man didn't set the explosive right purposely so he could be the one to destroy Mega Man. Since that doesn't work though, Mega Man gets the time machine back to Dr. Light who repairs it and sends Mega Man back to the present, fixing the future.
Critique
Why is it required that when a little kid is on camera, they have to have an extremely annoying plucky attitude, and spout the worst lines possible, and for a show where Mega Man makes a horrible pun every other sentence, that's pretty damn bad. I personally find it so grating. Once again though, Dr. Wily and Proto Man help this episode from being a total loss, but they don't really save it.
The concept is decent enough and the action is ok, but the episode is surprisingly more boring than it should be. The only really funny parts are when Proto Man mentions liking the human uprisings because it keeps him from being bored. I just love the homicidal maniac Proto Man in this show. Sadly, his screen time is such a small percentage of this episode, and no one else does anything worth even mentioning.
Rating: Thumbs Down.
