[you-cant-fuck-megaman]

king is one of my favorite characters in classic. dude's cool. he's really goddamn cool. he also gets shafted really fucking hard

i made a bit of a fuck-up in the burner man post, originally, joking about how king gaslit him. this was partially a pun off of burnerman being based off bunsen gas-lit burners, and partially a joke based on how fucking horribly both burner man and king got shafted. i was messaged about it and i figured “yeah actually gaslighting is kind of a serious deal and i shouldn’t really go for that angle”, apologized to the messenger, and reworded the joke.

but that joke didn’t come out of nowhere, there’s a REALLY ACTUALLY SUPER FUCKED UP relationship between burner man, king, and dr. wily

king’s entire deal is that, spoiler alert i suppose, wily made him to lead a robot revolution. however, king succeeds too well and wants to make a peaceful robot-nation to the point where wily has to reprogram him again right after programming him.

see, he gets reprogrammed offscreen before the game even fucking begins. wily apparently released a Day 1 Patch just to make EvilBadGuy.bat function. has to rewire his thought processes so that he can lead a revolution under the impression that robot violence will solve robot violence.

now, you might be saying “wait, this is probably referring to when you reach king at the end of king’s tower and he gets reprogrammed”. the kicker is when you eventually reach king at the end of king’s tower and he gets reprogrammed. see, you fight him, and it turns out he’s actually a decent guy! outside of the murders and mass collateral damage and attempted racial segregation. he’s just misguided and thinks that it’s bad for robots to serve humans because

anyway, so wily appears and he says

which means that King was already being brainwashed and now he’s beiNG BRAINWASHED EVEN FURTHER. HIJACKED ONCE AGAIN FOR THE PLAN FOR SUPER ROBOT FIGHTING BUT THIS TIME WE’RE USING 1.21 JIGGAWATTS, MARTY. WHEN THIS BABY HITS 88 MPH, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE SOME SERIOUS SHIT

there’s a lot to take away from Wily destroying his free will to become a blind puppet, when he was about to give up and become a good guy. again.

first off, the fact that he has FUCKING FREE WILL IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!! wily actively suppresses king’s morals again to make sure king does bad stuff properly this time and just erases king’s code_of_honor.sys entirely to make doubly sure, but King actively rebelling against his programming and going his own way demonstrates something which was supposed to be reserved for reploids! king is a brand new species of robot, he’s fucking incredible and powerful, able to do things that shouldn’t actually be possible among the classic roster! or wily is Actually That Goddamn Bad at coding, which probably explains why 90% of “””his””” Robot Masters are stolen but with his signature put on them. maybe he’s a designer more adherent to the aesthetic (look at all those skulls everywhere) while light’s the genius braincoder.

second off, holy shit wily. he’s done emotional manipulation before, he’s done lying before, he’s done a lot of heinous shit, and i’m pretty sure he whizzled in rush’s puppy food before, but forceful mind control of your own children is pretty fucking bad! and it has descended consequences! it continues on with king to burner man. it’s specified that king both actively “takes advantage of” burner man’s trust in him and also the supposed bomb within him to get him to do his bidding.

given the fact that none of the robot masters have dialogue we don’t exactly get to see much of the relationship between burner man and king, but even with the established information of “robot revolution for a peaceful world” + “set fire to a forest every day” + “this will lead to our peaceful world” + “you will die if you do not” + “trust me and I will lead you”, we’re potentially reaching actual gaslighting. i know my entire deal is making mountains out of molehills with regards to character scraps, but it doesn’t take a lot of extrapolation to get to some pretty goddamn dark territory.

and the thing is, why? why write this like this? i can guaran-damn-tee you nobody on bob capcom’s writing team actually thought about the implications of this! they just shrugged and tossed it in to make the bad guy more bad of a guy! but WHY? it’s completely unnecessary! if it’s just a matter of making king into a robot terrorist, he’s already fighting robots with other robots! if it’s a matter of making king seem SUPER evil bad, he’s already proclaimed he hates humans! if it’s a matter of making wily seem worse than super evil bad, he’s already had 8+ games of doing awful shit! given the generally-optimistic tone of the Classic timeline compared to X and Zero, it seems wildly out of character for even someone like wily to do his creation(s) dirty like so. it’s not just completely unnecessary, it’s tonally inconsistent!

i’ve mentioned before that king got a really goddamn raw deal, and he really, really has! this shit kept me up at night as a kid! it still keeps me up sometimes! i could be worrying about my future! my taxes! i could be worrying about fifty other more pertinent things in life! i could be WORRYING ABOUT SHIT THAT MATTERS

but KING DESERVED BETTER GOD DAMN IT

oh yeah and burner man deserves not being lied to i guess

Burner Man from Megaman & Bass was named Blast Man in the early concepts, and there's also a Blast Man in Mega Man 11.

So I've been thinking... What if the two are the same bot?

Burner Man was always named Blast Man since his first onlining, but was renamed Burner Man when he serve under King. When Dr Light tells him there was no detonator in his body and King has lied to him, he was consumed with guilt.

All the forest he burnt, the wildlife he had misplaced and the people he hurt, all because of his fear of dying to something that wasn't even there? No amount of apologies will fix his actions.

He doesn't want to look at himself anymore, so the first thing he did when he get home was to be remodelled into another type of Robot.

He likes fireworks, so his creator made him into the pyrotechnician robot.

Blast Man buries his past, and tries to move on, focusing on making the best damn fireworks he can.

Until he was, once again, became a Robot Master againsts his will.
