Can someone please tell Mav to shut his goddamn mouth and stop blabbing everything he hears on 4chan to every corner of the net? Especially when it's someone who works at Archie semi-anonymously telling people stuff about the legal situation they probably aren't supposed to? Could you stress that going and asking HEY KEN IS IT TRUE YOU'LL SUE ARCHIE IF THEY USE SCOURGE CUZ I HEARD YOU THREATENED TO DO THAT on the man's forum is absolutely retarded? Could you also stress that there are other ways of doing this that aren't incredibly stupid, like just asking what kind of usage of "Evil Sonic" he would consider infringements of his rights in a thread that already exists for discussing that character?

Because I half expect him to say "Well you say that, BUT I HEARD IAN SAID YOU'D SUE." as if he had the discretion of a 12 year old.

While I can agree that Mav has about as much tact and restraint as a bull in a China shop (sorry Mav but you have, like, zero tact or restraint), this was about as big a secret as "Ken is short for Kenneth".

Seriously? Ken told everyone ages back that he was laying claim to a list of characters, and "Evil Sonic" is on that list. Then he clarified that he considered Scourge to be Evil Sonic. We knew this. We talked about this. A lot. And I know some people kept going "but there's no way Ken'd actually do anything about Scourge... surely... there's just no way..." but when Ian indicated that Ken might make a fuss over Scourge, he was showing tact and restraint by not adding "a-durr. Haven't you been paying attention?" at the end.

That's all that was said. Ian also said in the same thread that he "can't/won't confirm/deny cut content". This really is getting like a game of telephone. Ian just explaining something we already know AFTER saying he's not confirming anything cut isn't evidence one way or the other. Hell, even if Ian was breaking his rule to throw out a hint, nothing's stopping Gallagher from just calling up Archie one day and saying "Have Beau."
>> No. 225492
>>225490
It wasn't. Someone over at Stadium relayed info on a comment from Ian that may or may not have even meant anything (see above), and everyone took that to mean Beau's definitely gone. And apparently the anon above you decided to throw in Matilda for good measure even though she wasn't even mentioned.
>> No. 225496
>>225491
>>225492
Denial: Not just a river in Sandopolis Zone.

Ian was asked about Uncle Beauregard and Matilda reappearing. No reply. He was asked again about Uncle Beauregard specifically, and when he'd return. No reply. Lastly he was asked who came up with Uncle Beauregard and he replied "Gallagher".

This "well maaaaaybe they're okay to use..." thinking is why it took us so damn long to accept that Scourge is gone. Gallagher dropped the name Uncle Beau, Penders came up with the idea of Mighty's sister. It'd be nice if Archie felt inclined to lean toward them being new characters Ian created, but it doesn't look like that's how they're tilting. Maybe that'll change, but for now the characters look to be just as screwed as all the others.
>> No. 225497
>>225496
Same anon you're replying to here.

Just to be clear, I do think that unless something changes down the line (like Gallagher stepping up if he hasn't already behind the scenes), Beau is probably gone right now, and given the Penders stuff with Matilda, she's even less likely to be around.

I'm not trying to be all "DON'T WORRY GUYS THEY STILL EXIST". I'm just saying that what Ian said in that other thread wasn't confirmation of a damn thing. That guy up there and people on other boards are acting like Ian confirmed it outright.
>> No. 225498
>>225497
It's the closest thing to a confirmation he's legally allowed. I'm not saying I approve of people going around saying "Ian literally said they can't be used!" but it's definitely fair to say that his comments look like they confirm the characters can't be used.

All we can do is try to move on as best as we can, while continuing to tell Archie that we do want them to try to work some deal out with any old creators they can (probably won't make a difference, but there's no harm in trying).
>> No. 225499
>>225498
Agreed.
>> No. 225500
>>225491
I bet Ian can't wait until five years from now when people are still going to keep asking about every single character that hasn't shown yet and he can't tell them whether they're just shelved because he didn't want to mess with it (or mess with it /yet/) or if they're just a lost cause.

I bet he can't wait for ten years from now when people are still asking and there's still no way to make them shut up.

I'm sure future writers will appreciate their employers shifting the responsibility of dealing with this shit on them for the rest of the comic's life.

>> No. 225503

And admit there's a problem? lolno.

All we can do is keep writing in, expressing displeasure, and indicating that we'd be more likely to buy things if they were able to get back any old creators' characters whatsoever. Of course it will likely have about as much an effect on Archie as spitballs on a battleship, but you never know. Drunk Archie editors and legal dept employees might run into a drunk Karl Bollers at a convention one day. Stranger things have happened.

Like this whole ordeal for one thing...

Oh and keep in mind there's not a damn thing Ian can do that he's not already doing. I'm sure every time he has a reasonable opening (if such things even exist) he politely coughs and indicates that it'd be great if anything could be done.

Well... sorry? That's the angle Capcom came up with. The ones programmed to think and act like actual robot kids think of themselves as siblings. The ones programmed for other things do acknowledge a sort of link, they're kinda-sorta family or comrades or something, but Splash Woman doesn't think of Mega Man as her older brother or anything.

Pretty sure "they're not as close" =/= "they're not really considered part of the family at all". There's kind of a big difference between Guts Man not being treated like Mega Man's literal brother and the idea that Guts is just some guy and Light gives about as much of a shit about him as he does any other doctor's RMs.

I mean, you said it yourself. "Kinda family". The source material seems to go with the idea of them being relatively close but not siblings per-se.
>> No. 225554
>>225552
People in this thread arguing Dr. Light doesn't give a shit about Guts Man = the same number of pages in the comic showing Dr. Light doesn't give a shit about Guts Man = 0

Blues, Rock, and Roll are Dr. Light's "kids" and think of themselves as siblings. The others... probably look at one another like a clan or something. There's definitely a bond there, and loyalty, but if Ice Man has a crush on Roll that's cool. Not a problem.
>> No. 225558
>>225554
...I never said people in this thread were arguing that or that the comic does that.
I just mentioned that the idea that the Light Bots just aren't part of the family because they're more distant than the core members is probably one of the most annoying things I hear when people are discussing Classic Mega Man. I see it every once in a while and it's just disheartening.
>> No. 225559
>>225558
In the end, they are all robots. Any since of love or family ties is limited to their programming and learning experiences. The Robot Masters spend most of their time at their work stations, while Mega and Roll spend it with each other at home.

Would you feel as attached to a family member you see every day compared to one you see every few times every other month?

On that same note; Iceman is the more emotional than other MM1 robots; and Roll is the Smurfette of the series so...

>> No. 225601

He called them "brothers-in-arms" - effectively like soldiers from the same platoon, or beat partners on the police. Folks who have created a close, family-like bond.

>>225718
Several of the edited KtE covers were cropped and/or otherwise had the new credits covering up Spaz and Penders' signatures. Only reprint lines that contain Penders work have been changed to add names to the front. All reprints that contain any contribution from Ken have his name as the first and one of the three most prominent on the cover, no matter how little he actually contributed to the collection of stories inside.

Is it good that creators are getting a bit more credit? Yeah, sure.
Is it good that they're basically spreading misinformation by propping Ken's name the most, essentially underselling the contributions of others? Not really.
It's also not super great that their names are only being put on books like Selects and Archives instead of the magazines and digests. You know, where it would actually make sense to put them on the cover. And putting them on digital copies of individual copies of Knuckles when the digital copies have the original credits inside and list the credits when you go to buy the books? It's..a bit redundant.

Thanks for the clarification. Hmph. Sounds... petty. Or, depending on who initiated this, going overboard in ass-covering.

>>225730
Considering that they've only done it for books Ken would care about and haven't done it for things he wouldn't (the Sally minis, the individual Sonic issues, that one Saga book that contains a story he inked), it looks more like appeasement than ass covering. We'd be getting this plastered on EVERY cover if it was just ass covering. We'll never know what's really going on, but...

Again, one of the most annoying things is that this is happening to every reprint except the magazines and the digests, where it would actually make sense.
