Mega Man Fans sind traurig, das ist bekannt. Aber ich wusste nicht, dass Mega Man selbst seinem Schöpfer zufolge von Traurigkeit erfüllt (“imbued with sadness”) ist.
In Boss Fights Mega Man 3 spricht Akira Kitamura (via Mike Drucker) über die Entstehung des Charakters und “the sadness of being a robot” (die Traurigkeit, ein Roboter zu sein).
The team used Cut Man as one of the monster-of-the-week villains and designed a protagonist inspired by a character from the Time Bokan anime, Tanpei—a genius boy sporting a blue jumpsuit and helmet equipped with cupcake-shaped cones. Despite the general silliness of this image, Kitamura sensed true sadness at Mega Man’s core.
Dann fügt er hinzu:
In the backstory I wrote, Mega Man alone is equipped with the functionality to turn himself off. That very fact imbues him with a sadness. The other robot masters were made for some kind of specific job or work, so there’s no need for them to have an “off switch” they can control. However, a robot helper like Mega Man can make his own judgements, and therefore can decide whether he’s needed or not...the sadness of being a robot is having this inorganic existence.
Nun ja.....:(
