Analysis: Where Similarities Part

“Really, Bunny? ANOTHER post pointing out the differences Psyche and og Mewtwo?” Yes, MSBE still has got me in a Mewtwo mood, but lucky for you I’m gonna talk about canon first before proceeding into headcanon territory. You see from what we have witnessed in their backstories [specifically after they get out of the test tube] there is one major key to Newtwo and Mewtwo’s story, which makes their paths begin to split and that is Giovanni, the only Italian Pokémon character we know of so far.

You see despite it being hinted in the new maybe even a bit of the old canon that some of the scientists who worked on og Mewtwo’s creation had plans on “making a new one” and possibly managing to escape og Mewtwo’s wrath leaving them to perhaps play some role in Psyche’s existence; there is NO indication that Team Rocket funded Newtwo’s project specifically. Thus as far as we know she’s never met Giovanni, face to face. Now onto headcanon territory!

If you’ve read my bio and other headcanons for her, you’ve probably guessed that Psyche was pretty horrified at her own capabilities/disgusted with herself after the whole mega-evolved craziness and in a way it kind of reflects on how og Mewtwo may have been after blowing up New island. Unlike Psyche though who by this time was too messed up by humanity, to believe that ANYTHING was capable of caring or helping the likes of her, og Mewtwo was still fresh from the test tube and apparently not ruined by people enough as he took the first opportunity of an individual offering to “help” him control his powers. This is supported in both canon, as Giovanni stated when trying to convince Mewtwo that “A wildfire destroys everything in its path. It will be the same with your powers, unless you learn to control them. I can help you do that” in the original movie and “would you let them run wild, and do to the world the same thing you did to this island?” in MSBE. These points were what really swayed og Mewtwo to at least listen to him and eventually accept his offer in both movies. It also indicated that he was kind of in the very least uncertain about his powers, especially in the reboot to me at least. 

In conclusion, if it wasn’t for that bastard Giovanni’s involvement/manipulation I truly believe og Mewtwo would have had an early life MUCH more similar to Psyche’s.
