>It upsets me that they went with the Saturday morning cartoon tactic of "it was Sigma all along" for the X series.
I often fantasize about this series being recreated but as a long running anime or something covering several seasons. Largely it would not re-use any villains. Instead the Maverick Wars would be the backdrop to explore questions and moral/philosophical issues around artificial intelligence, state control, free will, decadence, transhumanism, and such.

I'd have the Maverick Hunter's mission statement gradually expand in each season, the net catching all "mavericks" get bigger and bigger. By the very end, the main cast of Maverick Hunters would be labeled mavericks as well, replaced by new creations, having gone rogue after the human government that overseas them began ordering them to target humans for "retirement".

There are so many interesting ideas you could cover with the whole premise and setting. It's too bad it was never anything more than some action platformers.

>To be fair they can't risk it. Sigma managed to put humanity on the brink of extinction in only 100 years of war. They are intolerant but that's because they had to become a police state due to the imperfect nature of reploids. Suspecting Repliforce because they were on the scene makes some sense.

I really wish the series would be re-made as a long, mutli-season anime with a gradually developing story about the emergence of a police state. Each season, the definition of Maverick expanding just a bit.
