    I have to say, Wily from the Megas' Universe and the one from the Protomen's universe are so different. One, can be as sympthetic as all hell and has me wanting to side with him despite knowing he would have his robot masters kill me in a moments notice and the other can...have a sniper joe kill Light's girlfriend, frame light and get a crowd to lynch him with such an uncaring attitude that it scares me and to be honest, I love them both

    • @zennistrad

      The thing that makes the Megas' interpretation of Dr. Wily so fascinating is that in spite of the fact that he's largely sympathetic, he's *still* a thoroughly monstrous person.
      In "Look What You've Done" it's made pretty clear that he's some kind robot supremacist. He seems to genuinely think humankind is better off serving under the heels of his creations. He thinks robots are the superior form of life and thus naturally deserve to rule. This completely tracks with him eventually creating the Maverick virus, as well as the strong implication that he turned himself into an AI consciousness by the time the X series rolls around.

    "I thought I could bring the dead back / Broken shell, rusted red with age / I gave him power; a new heart / It filled, too quickly, with his rage"
    The most heartbreaking lyrics in this entire song. One of the things Wily did solely for altruistic means, and it took a course he never meant it to.

  • @rssilverio
    @rssilverio 11 років тому +63

    Did you notice how their songs are full of contrast to each other too? M! Wily's song is somber, full of regret, and is about him about to unleash a giant peacekeeping robot of death on the world to 'save' it. P! Wily's song is happy, full of evil gloating,brags about crossing the line, and being after framing his best friend for murder. Even musically Gamma unchained is full of synth and the hounds is full of 70's instruments .

  • @noctusdoesthings

    Just realized this song has three layers:
    Wily regretting his actions and mourning.
    Wily ressurrecting Gamma.
    Wily ressurrecting Blues/Protoman.
    Almost all of the lines fit for both Gamma and Blues.

    • @baval5
      @baval5 Рік тому +16

      They fit for Wily too. The repeated line (you are now unchained) is Wilys subconscious understanding that he is now "unchained" aka insane and no longer fighting as much for his original righteous cause as he is just for revenge and to win the war (he says it directly with the line "I understand im no longer the same, the game has changed"). Thats why the last time he sings the chorus the last line is changed to "what good is power when youre out of control?". On a surface level it seems like hes talking about Gamma going out of control by deciding to exterminate all humans, but really its about Wily being out of control for programming Gamma to think like that to begin with.

    Forgive me for what I have done

    This war has gone on much longer
    Than any of us would have guessed

    Some sting, some can't help but ring true
    I have to live with what I've done
    And find the strength to continue
    Tell me why I'm the one that they fear
    And for him, they cheer?
    Gamma, stand for you are now unchained (You are now unchained)
    You'll bring peace to our world gone insane
    Restoring your freedom to make you whole (You are now unchained)
    I'll give you power, you'll take control
    I've cheated, the lies that I've told
    Is for a future that I have seen
    The death, the lives that I've stole
    The end has to justify the means
    I thought I could bring the dead back
    Broken shell rusted red with age
    I gave him power, a new heart
    It filled too quickly with his rage
    I think that I heard the Red Song again
    He wants revenge...

      +Positively Dreadful Wily thinks theyre both trying to bring peace to the world in different ways. Light by subjugating robots, and Wily by subjugating humans. He considers robots equal or superior to humans. You can tell from the chorus ";youll bring peace to a world gone insane". He legitimately thinks theyre both working to the same goal from different angles, so he doesnt understand why they hate him but love Light. He realizes that maybe he isnt acting towards his goals as purely as he was before ("I know i am no longer the same, the game has changed") but hes justifying to himself the evils he does. Even still, he questions himself. His last version of the chorus "what good is power if youre out of control?" is to himself, not Gamma.

    One of the things I noticed too in that verse is the mirroring of Protoman with Megaman's creation in The Message from Dr Light-
    "I gave him power, a new heart, It filled too quickly with his rage" vs "I built your heart, I gave you eyes, I gave you power, A sense of justice beyond any compare". Not to mention "But the burning in your heart I did not put there."
    I assume the similarity is intentional, it's to cool not to be!

    It's interesting how much Wily's portrayal in this contrasts with Look What You've Done. He's beginning to lose sight of the ideals he started this whole journey with, as well as regretting the price it's made him pay, and only wants to bring an end to it. But activating Gamma seems like it will only bring more conflict in the end.

    I think the song is Wily lamenting about his past and the things he has done and realizes it is too late for him to look back and he must continue on the path he cut for himself in hopes that it will justify his own actions in the end which includes the attempt to use Gamma for his own means, yet in the end Wily realizes his own mistake and that Gamma is to unstable for him to control and is a danger to everyone.

      I kinda interpret that line as a silent reflection from Wily's past before the MM1 happened. Light was always in the limelight no matter how he contributed, so he made the mistake of starting down his path of darkness that would affect him for the rest of his life. There are a great many ways to interpret the line though.

    BreakMan was the identity that Wily gave to ProtoMan so Light would think he was another Wily robot and not ProtoMan. Got this from MegaMan Knowledge Base :
    "Being a prototype robot, Proto Man's design was not complete. It was later discovered by Dr. Light that Proto Man had a dangerous imbalance in his energy core that would eventually kill him."
    After that, he went missing because he started growing distrust to Light.

    I discovered The Megas about 1 month ago, and all I have to say is that they've became my favorite MegaMan vocal cover group. They know how make "silly" and playful songs like "Don't Mess With MM", and "Can't STop", as well as "serious" (as it can be) and rocking ones, like this one, "History Repeating", "Fly on a Dog/J.A.M", and "The Message from Dr. L."

    This song makes me think Wily has no other choice but to release Gamma onto the world. With all he has done in the past, he is compelled to keep his reputation, even deep down in his heart he doesn't want to. After the previous events, there is no way he can be normal. A single mistake can change you and your life completely; whether it's good or bad..

    I'm guessing Dr. Light, because the way I see it, he's really the one Wily hates. Just like the robot masters are really just agents of Wily, Mega Man is just an agent of Dr. Light. So, really, by this logic, the robot masters, the minor enemies, Mega Man, Megaman's little helpers like rush, ect. are really just a giant gulf built between the more personal conflict between Light and Wily.

  • @bjnartowt
    @bjnartowt 10 років тому +38

    Mega Man 3's gameplay alone was legendary, and this stuff that The Megas have made accomplishes character development that just adds an extra dimension to the game's greatness. Same, of course, for their work with Mega Man 2's source material. The theme throughout their work seems to be "these robots are self-aware, and must be wondering about human things", and this song in particular makes us stop and think about Gamma: a robot designed to keep the peace, but turned evil by Wiley...but still sentient. Kind of adds an element of tragedy to the mission to destroy Gamma at the end of MM3, and this just adds to the amazing and fun gameplay that's already there. TL;DR version: thanks, The Megas, you're awesome, and you breath new life into this classic favourite of mine : )

    Breakman was left incomplete. A proof of concept scrapped and shelved before Light understood that the AI he'd created wasn't just a learning machine, but also self-aware.
    Imagine reaching out and learning, discovering a world beyond the darkness of your own closed eyes and then having your freedoms destroyed in a way that you can see, understand and do nothing about and you have maybe two-thirds of Blues's issues.

    "Perhaps his loyalty is not so certain..." Wily said slowly. "He assured me that his seeming friendship with Mega Man was simply subterfuge, setting him up for the final duel while still furthering my goals... but can I trust his word on that? He IS still a robot, like any other, and he has his own free will... like Mega Man, and Roll, and..." The mad doctor scowled. "Doc Man..." THAT had been the final nail in the coffin for Dr. Wily.

    The song is from Dr. Wily's point of view. Gamma is a gigantic, 'peacekeeping' robot designed by Light and Wily. The song is about Wily activating and unleashing Gamma on the world, and possibly specifically against Light.

    The death, the lives that I have stole.
    The end must justify the means.

    I gave him power, a new heart.

    Images, words and sounds twisted and turned through Dr. Wily's mind. Yes, that had been the goal he had started with... but now, years later, his brain further warped by continued teleporter usage, those goals melted away like dust on the wind, and Wily only knew that he had to rule the world. It had been very difficult for him to pretend that he was his old self again; his old, foolish self, not seeing the dangers of robotics. But it had been neccessary. And thus, Wily had done it.

  • @billywitchdocter
    @billywitchdocter 12 років тому +2

    Yeah the line is about Protoman, who Dr. Wily repaired and had work for him when he ran away from Dr. Light. Its basically another one of Wily's regrets, which seems to be the theme of the the song, considering Protoman quickly grew angry not just at Light and Mega, but eventually turned on Wily himself as well.

  • @Bubbatauti

    It's suggested that Wily's real motivation in 1 was to prove that he was the better genius but the repeated losses to Megaman have eroded his sanity due to his rage and frustration. Apparently even the original Maverick virus was faulty and that infecting Sigma is what allowed it to leave him rational at first due to the GEMINI rip-off circuit being defective by design. And it was basically this that allowed Sigma to make the Zero virus and Kakusei Zero in X5.

But according to the song, even wily didnt foresee gamma going bat shit insane. I think i get it gamma's solution now. I think he saw that as long as opposing sides existed, war would always happen. So in order to keep peace, destroy it all. kewl. But ya, it may seem like some refers to proto, but its all gamma. I cant wait for proto's whistle by them.

    Something to remember is that The Megas aren't perfectly following canon as we know it. In one of their (heretofore) unreleased songs that they've played at some venues (I'm Not The Breakman) there's a series of lines: *SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO CARE* "I hade a name, my father called me Blues. He tore my heart from my chest to give to you. (Speaking of Rock) I think it's safe to say that Light may have seen Blues as a failure, and Wily then had to completely revamp him (give him a new heart.)

And in Watch You Die, Light says "You sent my firstborn back to me" which doesn't really make it sound as though Wily is also Protoman's father.

And then... the planet shall tremble in my grasp!" Wily frowned; the only missing piece in his plan was that dratted red robot. Where had he gone, and what was he doing? He had done well, distracting and stalling Mega Man while his master had claimed Gamma, but as soon as he was repaired, he had disappeared.

    -more tragedy from repairing Blues only for him to be filled with hate.
    -immensely tragic as Gamma goes 'out of control' which is only stated after Gamma says solution: extermination.
    Its like Wily wanted to finish everyrhing by using Gamma as a big better 'Wily' peacekeeper but inxthe end even Gamma seeks to destroy humanity. Makes me think that just gave up and thinks he is meant to be evil for reasons he cant understand.

Wily didn’t really bring back Proto Man, and all that was before MM3 anyway. And I don’t really feel “rage” from Proto Man, Doc Robot at least has the vengeful spirit/multiple personality vibe. “Rusted red”... I mean, Doc Robot and some of the MM2 Robot Masters have red.
