Ruby-Spears: Mega Dreams

Guest Starring: Elec Man and Bomb Man... again?

Plot Synopsis
Dr. Wily has created a machine that can transport his robots into people's dreams... uh what? Anyway, they get into people's dreams, then convince their target to do something, which causes them to sleep walk to their target, or in their first victim's case, the mayor, sleep drive. The sleep driving sequence does not disappoint as it goes about as well as you would imagine it would.

In any case Mega Man catches on to Wily's device and Dr. Light builds a counter-device. Dr. Wily's ultimate goal is to place the device on a space station so he can use it to spy on the world. He gets the device on a rocket ship which is completely unguarded... that is until Mega Man shows up and Dr. Wily uses his device to get the security to attack Mega Man. Inconsistent much?

Well eventually Mega Man sets everything right, and then uses Dr. Light's counter dream device to enter the astronauts dreams that Cut Man, Guts Man and Proto Man entered. Mega Man convinces the astronauts to destroy Wily's device, which teleports all the robots back to Wily's cave lair. There, Mega Man destroys all of Wily's equipment while he escapes.

Critique
Not a terribly exciting episode although the dream sequences are kind of funny. However, most of this episode is just lazy. The setups are inconsistent and I swear Wily's plan changes halfway through for no apparent reason. There's also a number of small details that are fucked up as well. In one sequence, the animation is layered wrong so a starry background Wily is viewing on a monitor covers the entire background. What the fuck? Also, not that I hate Elec Man or Bomb Man, but do we need to see them again right after the last episode? I try not to hold this show to standards beyond a 7 year old child or so, but this episode is pretty lame.

Rating: Thumbs Down.
