[@Kingpinn02]

This would actually be a very interesting story for a Mega Man movie. It makes Wily a more complex character and shows a darker side to Light who tries to redeem himself. It would make a lot of sense if Light was such a strong pacifist out of immense regret. Also, it's an amazing and really dark concept to have Wily's goal to kill Mega Man out of wanting to put his son to rest, knowing that he isn't the same person he was born as.

[@roaringthunder115]

Kingpinn02 true

[@Ticketman99]

And what better way than to create two robots based on Mega Man(Bass and Zero)?

[@Da1X_Builds]

It would be an interesting story arc for mega man as well. Since at the start, he looks like a blank slate, kinda like a normal baby. Over time, we see his knowledge grow and see him eventually regain some of his old traits(maybe through a child safe neural chip that Light implanted into his brain to access the internet in order to help speed up his development. When Dr. Wily uses the robot masters for the first time, mega man gets a quick flashback to seeing Dr. Wily when he was a child. Over the games, the gray light in Rock’s eyes slowly turn back to they original blue as he begins to piece together why and how he became Mega Man. When it all comes together and Rock finally confronts Wily about it and says he finally remembers, Wily doesn’t believe him. He’s too far gone.

I think I found it more annoying than anything. Not at first, but once we brought in the whole cliché where the scientist refuses military contracts as unethical... I mean using Vega/M. Bison/Why-is-the-name-still-split-Dictator as representing the military is a decent sight gag, but if their country is in that bad of shape, some psycho(power)therapy later and both Light and Wily are happy building weapons of war. XP As Rock is clearly a robot in the games, the rewrite also seemed weird (even for satire), but I'm new to these videos. >.> Even if the goal was dark comedy, this one didn't seem to fit.

Roberto Blake Man they totally gotta use something like this for a reboot, no pun intended.

What I honestly love about secret histories is that it feels like an actual conspiracy show. We have episodes such as the Mario and Mortal Kombat one that are clearly huge, improbable theories. For example, if Mario was actually a huge evil warlord, wouldn't the public already know in universe? Same situation with MK. The interviews are generally people who have it out against the heroes and will probably create fake evidence. Hell, that peach in Mario could just be a paid actor. However, then there's ones like this, Harry Potter and sonic. Unlike the other ones, it isn't the villain that's being interviewed and claiming the other person is a bad guy. Rather, it's the person's friends painting this really dark idea of what their respective heroes actually are. Hagrid for example, who's been with Harry for years, would be a trustworthy source In universe. Sonic, who's being questioned on tails, looks genuinely horrified and scared. There's a clear amount of fear and emotion in the sonic cast. But here is where it escalates. The heroes themselves openly admit their actions. Light admits to the fact that he's done terrible terrible things, and that rock was in fact Wily's son. These ones paint the best sort of stories, tragic ones where former, great people fall from grace as their friends hopelessly watch. This one in particular is seriously emotional, because we can tell for a fact that in this universe, wily had a family and was a genuinely good person. We know that light has cooperated with a terrorist Group and tries to seek forgiveness. Even roll feels bad for wily and seeing rock just stand there, lifelessly really sort of puts the final nail in the coffin. The secret files is a wonderful dark and strange 'documentary' that boldly parodies real life shows and can create some genuinely thought provoking questions. All in all, I really want to see all of this connect into one episode in where we figure out which secret files are plain hoaxes made by the villains, or tragic stories happening to all involved.

[@richieosborn2639]

MegaMan's secret history is my personal favorite episode, because the antagonist of this is actually ashamed of his actions that effected his partner's son. He apologized to him via video, but it was too late. Wily doesn't believe him and now the robot masters rise.

[@nicholaspokorny5058]

This one had emotional depth. I’d watch an entire television series based on this premise. Turning the hero into a villain is easy as pie, and making the villain a hero isn’t too much of a leap from there. It’s making both sides sympathetic and understandable that’s the real trick. A trick that the writers have mastered in this video.

[@jesusa.adorno6933]

Well, Megaman 11 did cover the backstory: *SPOILER WARNING FOR MEGAMAN 11 , THE X & ZERO SERIES!* MM11 features Wily and Lights falling out, but they were never a duo. They were friends,and worked at Robot University, but the falling out was because of Wily's Double Gear system. Wily wanted to create the Double Gear system to make any robot into a hero, but Light wanted Wily to stop developing the Double Gear system, in fear that it could do much chaos. So the University chose Light's independent thought research instead of the Double Gear research. Wily was jealous as a result of him being in Light's shadow. Later on, Dr. Light regretted his actions. So it's somewhat true. *X & ZERO SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠* Funny that since Robot University chose the independent thought research, it would lead to the creation of X and the Reploids, which then lead to Zero(Wily's final creation) with the Maverick Virus that caused the Maverick Wars; Which in turn lead researchers study Zero's body when he was in stasis to create the Mother Elf to kill the virus, which caused Dr. Weil to corrupt the Mother Elf to cause the Elf Wars that killed 60% of the humans and 90% of the Reploids, and Weil used Zero's Original Body to create Omega.

@@jesusa.adorno6933 jokes aside, i personally think that the whole "double gear incident" being the sole reason why wily does what he does, is kind of dumb (along with the fact that he litterally just remembered it NOW, after 11 freakin games), and I honestly think that this backstory for wily is a lot more interesting and subversive than the canon one capcom made. But that's just my opinion.

gunfighter Man they totally gotta use something like this for a reboot, no pun intended, with a slightly more tragic angle it would make the hostility between Dr.Light and Dr.Wily more personal and thus make it more tragic whenever Mega Man beats Wily since he's fighting his birth dad for the sake of his adopted dad.

[@keirgomcginlay2044]

Kind of enjoyed this. I'm rarely a fan of 'the big good wolf' type things, but it always attracts me with Megaman. Wily builds a lot more creations than Light does, so the idea that Wily was riding HIS coat-tails seems off. Wily's creations have betrayed him, showing he builds them with free will, while Megaman has been established to be shackled to his programming...

[@Runescythe9852]

This is an interesting alternative perspective, one I have seen dabbled with before like with instances that GameTheory touched on before. Seeing it animated makes one sympathize with Dr Wily a bit more.

This would also explain the skull imagery seen with dr. wily. It’s megaman’s skull, he’s trying to put him to rest.
