If they stuck to the same plot, they'd be guaranteed a pretty good score. But the story has been told several times already in different ways and I think I'd like to see another variation, if that makes sense.
Oh, absolutely. I mean I actually don't like most of the original stories that much, it would seem; I like the 2003 series the best so far, and that one had the most original storylines out of all the major incarnations thus far. (Plus it looks pretty.) I'd actually like to see something new; a breath of fresh air! And besides, even a rehash runs the risk of becoming stagnant; just because it worked once or twice, doesn't mean it should happen again... and again... and again. :T
Plus, the animation looks gorgeous so far. And once you get used to him, Astro is actually really cute!

Judging by his silhouette Atlas looks almost identical to Atom's design, just like how he was based off Atom's blueprints in the 80's. Who knows, maybe Atlas IS Atom this time? I think it be cool if Atlas was a name of a computer program/virus that Atom contains.
One thing for sure, this waiting time is letting me create so many possible ideas XD
Actually, that was from the original 1963 series! Atlas was completely different in that offering, too; he was based off of his manga counterpart, for the most part, from my understanding. Atlas wasn't supposed to be related to Astro at all; he
did have sort of an issue with humans and authority, always, though. It was how he was designed by his bitter and vengeful creator... (Although he had an excellent reason for it. Granted, creating something as dangerous as Atlas was probably a very bad idea...)
I actually... had a thought not unlike that. Like a virus, sure; or maybe even a programmed alternate personality-type thing; an intense battle mode where he sort of loses himself. Of course, he could just be a copy (or an original!) that's out to get Astro this time around, for some reason. We don't even know if he''s anything like his previous incarnations; although he seems to at least share a connection with Astro, as in the 80's version. The extent of this relationship remains to be seen... as well as much of Atlas' appearance. :T
