I haven't talked about Mega Man in... wow! A very long time! Today Theorists, we are going to remedy that! When I think of Mega Man, I tend to think of the amazing gameplay rather than any deep, overarching story. That was an oversight on my part as the lore within the Mega Man universe is CRAZY! Did you know that Mega Man will bring about the end of all human life? No? Well put on your helmets, we're digging deep into this franchise!

I've played like every Mega Man game and I never really thought about the plot as a whole until now. Mind blown!
-
Game theory: Dr wily is good Game theory: Dr wily takes over the world and humanity dies
-
“Today were talking about a franchise no one cares about” oof that hurt me on a different level
-
I mean you gotta respect it, Wily is the original "I'm about to destroy this man's whole career." They say when you dig a grave for revenge you should dig 2, wily said I'ma take it a step further.
-
Also at the end of the timeline: Megaman Volnutt stuck in space for eternity because Capcom abandoned him there.
-
“Ain’t nobody seeing this video” 1 million people: are you sure about that?
-
MatPat: " Dr Wily is innocent " Also Mat: " Dr Wily Murdered Millions "
-
are we going to talk about the fact that megaman's hardware was built so well he survived for thousands of years
-
I love how Matt says that the YouTube algorithm doesn’t care about Mega man but when he makes a video on it the amount of views it gets is fairly high compared to other videos that came out soon after and right before
-
dr wily: turns himself into a virus glitchtrap: turns himself into a digital virus dr wily: can control robots glitchtrap: can control humans me: visable confusion
-
Moral of the story: Be more careful when choosing your science partner for the project
-
Sigma is suitable for realizing Wily's ambitions, but not Wily's technical expertise. The X5 reference to an old man may refer to Wily's consciousness manifesting in Serges (and later Isoc.) Weil seems to be a copycat (which is on point for the Z series), but one could speculate that Wily's consciousness had eventually found a way to manipulate a human host unbeknownst to them.
-
This took Villiany to a new level “A villain only needs one win while a hero only needs to lose once” Enter Wily
-
Little heads-up: It's been heavily implied that Wily's conciousness was digitalised and copied, and then was put on at least 2 Reploids, them being Serges from X2 and Isoc in X6. So when Sigma says "I met an old man who knows a lot about you" he might actually have met Wily in a different body, under a different name. Like Serges, who was working for Sigma as a X Hunter.
-
"The franchise no one cares about" C'mon Mat don't hurt my feelings like that
-
point of interest: In MML2 Megaman is a "purifier" unit meant to destroy "aberrant" units that went rogue. But in the original japanese they use the same word for aberrants that they did for mavericks. Which means even in the future the maverick virus is still hanging around and making reaverbots turn violent
-
This is my first time ever hearing the MegaMan story and I’m freaked out
-
Summarizing the Rockman/Mega Man timeline in under 16 minutes
-
"A franchise no one cares about, not even Capcom itself" Oh my, is it Ace Attorney?
-
at first glance, you would never ever think a cutesy series like Mega Man, a game targeted at children would be this dark and gritty, this series tackles such mature concepts, from radical terrorism to world wars to nuclear wars to corporate states and dictatorships, and finally the extinction of humanity, man what an awesome series.
