Unless they'll make it a musical (with songs by The Protomen) I don't give a crap.

[parasitic bomb]. Second junk thread I made so far.

I found out this TRIAL fan film may not be as hot as it's made out to be. At least the donation drive isn't, not after reading the latest Roll's Wrapup from the 100K Strong page. "Hey, want to help Legends 3 get made someday? DONATE TO OUR COOL MOVIE BRO!"

On one hand, I don't want to encourage the fanbase being a bunch of dicks, but on the other can you really blame people for being skeptical to donate to a fan-based promise?  Anyone could throw together a bunch of comforting words and story sketches.  I know nothing of TRIAL Films.  Does anyone else here?  Frankly, even if we as Mega Man / Mega Man Legends fans WEREN'T pissy over being burned repeatedly over the last year, I'd still see plenty of reason to be skeptical.  I want to believe these guys are legitimate and that they could put something special together, but they really do need to establish an image both for themselves and for this project before they go asking for money.  That's just the way it is.

Well, this is nice.  YouTube video is removed and the campaign page is hidden.

While neither site has any info, their Facebook page states that The Will Of One is canned, claims that they'll be refunding donations, and that they have other projects in mind.

Can't say I'm that surprised.  These guys strike me as having good intentions, but a little on the naive side.  Raising half their goal (4 grand) before even releasing a teaser?  Yeah, not happening.
