What? No more atomic power!? Instead, "a blue core self-sustaining power source... It's pure positive energy."
I wonder if the Japanese version will still call him 'Atom'?
Will this inspire the children to believe in such fantasy-based things, and eschew reality? I stop here, lest this become a political discussion.

Atomic Power isn't quite as revolutionary as it was in 1951.
90% of Star Trek technology was "fantasy-based" as well until it's fans grew up and found ways of bringing "such fantasy-based things" to reality.
And yeah, nothing says "realistic" like a flying robot with machine guns in his arse
