"Weasel" words

[edit]

Something about this sentence seems really sketchy: "The series is also notable for the artistic liberties taken with various characters." Is it REALLY "notable" for the artistic liberties the series has taken? What series isn't? What adaptation does not have artistic liberties? Having read the series, the "artistic liberties" aren't any more profound than any other adaptation that has ever existed, which leads to the inevitable question of "So why was it mentioned in the first place?" I can only assume it's veiled passive-aggression from a disgruntled fan. The article needs to be readdressed by someone with an impartial perspective and encyclopedic eye. If I try to do it, I'll just mess it all up since I'm not very skilled at formatting and am unfamiliar with some of the finer points of Wikipedia policy. 76.77.129.170 (talk) 21:43, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agreed. Also the example of artistic liberty for Shadow Man is in fact, a nod towards cannon material in the Mega Man 3 game manual which states in Shadow Man's bio that it is rumored he's an alien robot master that was found and repaired/remodeled by Dr. Wily. While treated as rumor, the Capcom Club Magazine from Spring 1994 had a Q&A where this information is repeated again pointing out that the materials Shadow Man is made of are not of terrestrial origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fcolmenarez (talkcontribs) 15:29, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

License

[edit]

So any news on what Archie plan to do with the MM license since their comic series is long cancelled? (I know its "on hiatus" official-wise but lets face it) Will they perhaps give the license to Udon, or IDW Comics? Or will they just sit on it forever?78.75.4.147 (talk) 07:26, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
