It's been so long since I've done one of these. But I need to finish up so I can move on to other series
Anyway, what I've posted on Facebook before and the Halloween episode.
- So Dr. Wily's grand scheme this time: he's built robots based on classic horror monsters - the Mummy, Wolfman, Dracula, and Frankenstein's monster - to terrorize the English countryside, film their antics as a "monster movie" and use it to threaten the rest of the world into submission.
- I love how snarky Protoman is in this episode:
Wily: The world may call me insane, Proto...
Protoman: Sounds right to me.
- Given the theme of this episode, I would have rather liked to have seen Skullman and/or Shademan appear in this episode. Granted, this show was likely produced before MM7, so no Shademan; in fact the Dracula robot might have been slightly based on him. Other than that, however, no robot master of the week other than Cutman and Gutsman.
- Despite this being the future, England seems to be still stuck in the Victorian era - similar to the previous episode, where they seemed to be stuck in the old West. Either it's a VERY backwoods town this is happening in, or it's some kind or tourist attraction.
- A one-off character for the episode, Evelyn Wray; she's probably supposed to be a reference to Faye Wray, the original "scream queen", best known for her role in the original King Kong movie.
- Overall I liked this episode, but byfar the silliest part was how Wily's Wolf-bot and Dracu-bot could literally transform Dr. Light and Evelyn into a werewolf and vampire respectively. I'll get back to that later...
- Now that I think about it, Megaman 7, not only had Shademan, a vampire-based robot master, but his stage also featured were-bots as stage enemies. I dunno if Capcom based him off this episode like Slashman felt based on Robosaur Park, or if it was all an amazing coincidence.
- The scene at the end seems to imply the whole thing was just one of Evelyn's movies, thus explaining the transformations mentioned earlier. Still a bit of a funny ending.
