So Seriously, Why Was Lex Loath Not Included In "Megaman Legends 2"?

 

Another game I missed playing is The Misdaventures of Tron Bonne. Yeah, that time when cheat codes became popular because games were super hard. Well, the PSX games weren't that hard compared to the NES and SNES days! The game was a spin-off prequel to Megaman Legends. This was a game to play as Tron Bonne. The Bonnes weren't exactly all too evil and were more of anti-villains. In fact, it's often hinted Tron Bonne has a Villainous Crush on Megaman Volnutt.

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne featured two far more evil antagonists. One was Lex Loath -- an obvious reference to LEX Luthor from DC Comics. Glyde is the right-hand man. I found these two funny especially with their debt trap operation. Loath would charge interest on interest -- making him one of the best villains in the Legends series. I even felt he should've returned in Megaman Legends 2. However, it seems that Glyde was more popular than Loath. However, I still feel Loath could've been an interesting person for Megaman Volnutt to face against. Of course, Loath wouldn't survive fighting against Sigma from Megaman X!

Interestingly, Megaman Legends 2 had a memorial for Loath. However, one must ask how did Loath die before Megaman Legends 2? There's a significant time gap between Megaman Legends and Megaman Legends 2. Misadventures of Tron Bonne was a prequel in between. It's not explained how Glyde managed to escape but Loath didn't. The writers never thought of even giving an explanation. It's possible Loath probably ended his own life or was murdered by people he conned. Loath's death is pretty much ambiguous -- like how Dr. Wily eventually died in between Classic Megaman and Megaman X.
