Wait, So You mean to tell me that:
1. Megaman is the son of Wiley and Symmetra.
2. Megaman is basically a cyborg corpse.
3. Light tried to raise a corpse, but Megaman is only capable of battle.
And 4. Wiley is driven mad by his friends betrayal.
Thats Honestly awesome.
Sam Benson I just love how they made symmetra his wife
Very true.
Sam Benson noicce
Standerd Teo. I said basically. But your right. It just seemed funnier to call him a corpse. since he's still lifeless.

@@cyborgparrot1996 aha, thats who she was
Wow, this is actually sad and depressing.
I was expecting dark and cruel jokes.
King Kamina loved the references tho.
Same here, SolarMonkey2112
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.
wtf did I just read? Can you enjoy anything for the sake of creativity and entertainment? Or are you a 5 star Hollywood critique now?
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.
Kingpinn02 true
And what better way than to create two robots based on Mega Man(Bass and Zero)?
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.
This actually kinda feels more like a copy of Astroboy's origin
Mega Man 11 already gave Doctor Wily more dimension in just one game
I love how he transitions from sobbing to maniacal cackling at the end. It's as if he's repressing his grief with manic obsession.
I like how unlike the other secret histories there's alot more complexity here instead of one just being evil
Who else thinks this is a better story for Mega man
From the looks of it everyone
Ya
This story sucks
@@janker72 okay
@@janker72 Like your mom
This wasn't a sick twisted parody, it just felt like the ACTUAL history
As a megaman fan.. this makes the story WAAAAAY more interesting then the original… so interesting that I’m pretending this is canon
Also protomans backstory was also explainable.. seeing him made me flabbergasted since he’s one of the best characters of the game.
@@kirbyfan2265 It's just Astro Boy rehash. Nothing to ogle at.
that just means the propagandists at Mashed Corp. are getting better at lying to you.
that's the real secret history
@@rawpowergroudon1no need to be like that this story is amazing even if it’s based off something
No no Really
You want to know the REAL depressing thing? Dr Light’s contributions to humanity actually ended up screwing humanity over. From Mega Man X (granted, this falls more on Dr Cain and Dr Wily), to Mega Man Zero, to Mega Man ZX... By the time of Mega Man Legends, there are _no humans left._
He meant well, but holy shit dude, nothing worked.
The alternate universe where light worked on computer technology worked out much better than the main universe
@@jordanintheflesh2589 Thats why Battle Network is the best time line to live in......wait a minute isnt this just HUB'S BACKSTORY? But with Wily as the good guy?
By the time of Megaman Legends there are no pure humans left, but there are the carbons who are essentially their cyborg decendants.
If there was one thing Dr.Light always wanted, is that the humans and robots could live together in haromny without discriminating each other. Them basically mingling together into some new cyber organic life form with traits of both, pretty much means that Light's wish came true in a way.
@@zettovii1367 You're right. Dr. Light's dream was for humanity and technology to become one, which turned out pretty well. Although, in Legends, some pure humans weren't so enthusiastic about the idea... But still, it all worked out for the best.
There are humans in mega man legends
I always return to this video, over and over. This is my favorite secret history, and in many ways makes me wish it was canon, maybe as a AU with some adjustments of course.
I wish this was Canon this is a more compelling and dark backstory
Roberto Blake what is it
Same here man, same here....
Roberto Blake 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, he would be fighting his birth dad for the sake of his adopted dad.
Seriously? You want overwatch and MEGA MAN (MM) to be connected?
The mother could be anybody, they are saying that the concept should be used
can we make this canon?
Shesez I'd like to see that happen, showing that everything canonical is actually a hoax

This...This is a legit compelling story! Like, I'd pay to play a game with a story like this. (You know things have gotten bad when a parody has a more compelling story than a game's actual canon.)

Seeing protomans backstory being included makes it even way more interesting then just rock being wilys son.
Proto man is the most complex character in classic mega man.he’s also cool af
3:02 when protoman appears his whistle plays, that's a really good easter egg
Awesome to see folks diggin it. And thanks to MASHED for having faith in producing animations that aren't just a string of one-off jokes. And thanks to all the great animators and voice actors and sound designers for making this come to life. Looking forward to writing more of these
Hey man, great voice acting once again! Keep up the good work!

5:30 damn that gave me goosebumps
it's a pretty dark story but this could honestly work really well as a megaman spinoff
Whoa, that was ridiculously good! Mad props to the voice actors too
that was really good voice acting
Roll's Mecha voice sounds familliar, can anyone help me out here?
Is Roll's Mecha Voice Autotuned?
DragonLord 4444 to me it sounded like Glados from Portal and Fludd from Super Mario Sunshine.
U mean like a mix between the 2? i kinda hear it
Honestly this is much more believeable than the actual story. Wilys real motive is kinda weak especially when compared to this.
Hey at least mega Man 11 adapted this storyline to be more light-hearted
In the end, he still won(the very fact that Zero even existed).
Agreed
@@Ticketman99
It could also be considered as Light's win, if you consider the existence of carbons as proof that humans and robots could finally live together as one.
@@Ticketman99 yep wily kills all the humans in the end becuse of ledgends thos arnt humans in ledgends
So doctor light and wily went to the same class as Neo Cortex, prof Oak, Symmetra, Eggman and i have no idea who the other two are but they where taught by Dr Gero (A20)
One was dr hojo from ff7
too bad Vegapunk isn’t here, he’s the genius
I bet doctor welio was a sub
Where’s doofensmirtz
This is all so good, my only complaint is Rock literally forgetting how to actually think. I feel like he should’ve only the memories where he died and was Wily’s son to add some more seriousness into the story. Overall this is great, 10/10!
So basically... there's no true villain, only choices that define the person in the end. Willy a man obsessed with his work, soon consumed with the grief of his mistakes. Light making hard choices to either keep a company alive or keeping the good memory of his friend alive as best as he could.
Truly tragic...
In Mega Man 11 there's no true villain either, Dr. Light is portrayed as a dick and being one of the reasons Dr. Wily turned to his evil ways. Story in the canon games is getting deep again.
Hmmm I’m sensing signs of predictions on our hamds
TritnewVG yeah that’s tragic...
Honestly this should be the true story it’s better in my eyes
That is good writing.
This is one emotional parody for a backstory, i wish it was canon in the franchise.
Wily being a grieving parent and Dr Light turning out to be anything but a Saint, taking shady deals in militarising their technology as a way to safe their company.
Also i noticed that the explosion burned away Wily's fringe and scalp, making him look older than he is, very extra creative detail from you Mashed. :D
But then you gotta ask: why would he create Bass and Zero?
@@Ticketman99 revenge maybe?
@@CarlJohnson-mf4qd what makes it more sickening is that when wily says his son has been dead for years. LIGHT HAS WEAPONIZED WILY'S DEAD SONS CORPSE AND LITERALLY TURNED HIM AGAINST HIS OWN FATHER.

This! This story line is amazing for mega-man! I was expecting a comedy run before I watched but damn, this puts mega-man in a new light!
At 4:42 DID MEGAMAN KILLED RUSH
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.
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.
It's not that he doesn't believe him, it's that he resents him too much to forgive, and considers Rock's state too much of a Fate Worse than Death.
+Nicholas Pokorny oh dear.

To be honest, this is much better than Game Theory; and I like Game Theory.
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...
2:19 top "SECRET" contract and then put some walking robots outside, im sure NOOone will ever notice them.....later on that day everyone notices them and gets on news.

Without a doubt, this is your best Secret Histories video! It isn’t focused on dirty humor but rather on story and character development! The voice acting is great and the rest is mind blowing! I subscribed you because of Secret Histories! It’s my favorite series that you made! Keep up the good work!

@MageBurger
He ment that the last thing they said in the video, was what lead to the creation of the Secret History Of Sonic And Tails
+MageBurger I found you ! CZcams is a small place xDDD
I actually like this. It gives Wily a sympathetic reason to hate Light, while also give Light an understandable situation for him to betray Wily like that.
Haven't played Megaman in my life, this is canon for me
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.
This gets a lot darker when you consider the ending of MM7
Mega man tries to kill Dr Wily
You mean the scene, where he is on his knees? At first glance, he's begging for mercy. On the other hand, he's grieving for his son.
@@Sypaka and then his son tries to kill him
That's because that cursed light programed him to do that
Would mega man be considered a maverick after that?
@@retrosaturn202 I honestly don't know
4:42 that should be the intro to a mega man movie 🎥
No this should be the true story of mega man
Kinda interesting to have an AU where Rock was once a human and was Wily’s son.
Wait. If I’m not wrong, Mega Man was also a former human boy in the Battle Network series.
Wow, I love it. The idea that Dr. Light is trying to do the right thing after messing up so badly and Dr. Wily going mad after losing everything. It put the whole game series in a whole new "light." Dr. Wily is trying give his son rest at last, light trying to correct his mistakes but doom to repeat them over and over as Wily is always ahead of him and Megaman, that is why he never just kill Wily, a part of him remembers his actual dad, hoping for a family again.
Tears me up. Good job.

Good job

I agree! It doesn't need gross out humor the Harry Potter video had. All it needed was a touching story.
This is actually canon I think.
Do Something good on Luigi
Never understood the point of gross out humor. I mean, is there really anyone that finds that funny? Depending on delivery, I guess it can take out a chuckle, but that depends on the delivery, not the level of disgust that they primarily seem to be aimed at.
@@herbbirb3766 It isn't. The canon is that apparently Dr. Wily was jealous because his contributions in science were unappreciated, which was the basis of Wily having a grudge with his at the time best friend Dr. Light. Following that, he stole and reprogrammed the first 6 robot masters and from that point things went so crazy that, 300 years afterwards(X series, Zero series and ZX series, where Wily's best creation Zero became the hero)things haven't even ended yet.
4.2 Million views, but only 1 like. Why has no one liked this Masterpiece.
I was expecting a parody where the gag is all the good characters are really evil or stupid, but what I got was a well written and interesting tragic backstory which doesn't make anyone into a flat out villain and that some people may wish to argue is a better story then the original... Top class work!
but they are still terrifying videos
I think you should create The Secret History of Metroid.
Shaun M I would love to see that
What could go wrong
Yes!
This video was AMAZING! So much emotional power in this one. good work Mashed.
And it's funny usually when they do these videos they always make the good guy look like some sort of mobster or psycho and the bad guys are always the victim's in some way. Nice to see that they're mixing it up.
Jordan Mills Yeah, that's why this one is my favorite. Light's not a great guy in it, but he's not an overt psycho. He was just doing what he thought was necessary, though his choices had terrible consequences.
I wish this is canon.
Knight Warrior I'm telling you man, they totally gotta use something like this some time.
If Capcom could make another Mega Man series, they should go with this angle, giving Wily and Light more of a personal connection outside of being colleagues and having Mega Man unintentionally fighting his real dad would make the franchise way more interesting!
The fact that CAPCOM adapted this story just goes to show what good storyline plot it is and how they’ve really f’ed up with their other MegaMan games.
So they made the bad guy sympathetic in a really interesting way: nice.
that actually make a lot of sense
also astro boy reference
Except Wily would be the one making Mega man/ Rock, gets frustrated with him because he won't grow up, and then selling him off to a circus before adopted by Dr. Light.
Trust me, Tenma's basically Shinji's dad before Evangelion.
looking back, I think that astro boy was just a t-800 going through an awkward phase.
powerist Pretty much.
Charlleys Jean did you know? MegaMan started out as an Astro Boy video game! Capcom was working on it, until they lost the license to Konami. With that, MegaMan was created!
And a sonic reference
I can’t really tell who the villain is.
There's no villains in life.
Dr wily is trying to let his son's soul rest but dr light is raising him as a promise to dr wily.

Blockhead134, I shall finally say a theory...
DR LIGHT IS THE TRUE VILLAN.
Inah Oliva I mean Light did make some robots who were only good for violence
Crazy Tails: fully insane, psychopathic
Bussiness Mario: Evil, selfish, insane
Professor wily: straight Depression
2:14 An appearance of a Street Fighter character reminds the fans of a cancelled game called Mega Man Universe, since both franchises are owned by Capcom.
Welp this is canon no one can change my mind on that
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.
Jesus A. Adorno nah

Sprite good on U.
@@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.
I was expecting something dark and we got something sad. Also loved the Astro Boy reference
syaondri But Wilely left and thought his son was dead, also I was expecting the whole thing to be dark not some parts of it
Jaden Kirby did you notice the Destiny reference?
yesh
Dominic Alucard the cube thing right? I never played destiny
This is actually quite an interesting and very well put together alternative narrative. Well done Mashed team.
The amount if different characters and franchises that are here is amazing. Also wily and symmetra is a couple I never thought I'd see
This would be awesome if this was legit Megaman canon.
gunfighter Megaman's Cannon XD
I can tell you alllll of it
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.
If this was true. Willy succeeded with zero. Even if he's an edgier hero
Good quote with the rhyme
But zero is a crazy mad man who killed him
Zero did not kill the original cast. Everyone at Capcom says so, you're going off on a fan theory
Zero ended up a hero in the end. He sacrificed himself to save humanity from Ragnarok in Mega Man Zero 4.
Born a villain, lived a hero, died a legend.
This is my favorite one so far. I really love how much of a personality you gave Wily.
When I've watched this again, I just realized this was literally the plot for that forgettable Astro Boy movie from 2011 or 2012.
Where a inventor's son accidentally falls in his father's experimental machine, killing him. He goes into mourning, and decided to rebuild him from scratch.
Although a little bit different, with Mega here being in a coma, and him dying in a unrelated pit fall than his father's creation.
But I'll say, this is much more better than the entirety of that movie.
Eggman looks like a badass, Oak looks like he's dealing drugs, Wily's being a good student, and Light is slacking. People really do change a lot from college
“Every genius is an idiot.” Hmmm
Speaking of idiot *points to self*
2:11 it can be useful if your paitent just leave the room and come back in until it gives you the thing you want
I love how eggman is in this, when he’s a sonic and not a mega man character
Wow. Most of these have just been played off a shock factor, taking a hero and turning them into a psycho or the like. This is the first secret history that carries quality beyond a juvenile attempt to surprise. This had depth. It took a simple game and gave it an intense emotional power. Well done.
0:56 WHAIT EGGMAN HAD HAIR?!!!
coincidentally it had to be the exact haircut as Jim Carry in the movie
@Blake Wickman Hair loss is connected to stress sometimes, so thats probably the reason his head is completely bald

They predicted sonic prime
I love the references to other video game characters of trainers or evil mad scientists with Eggman starting it its really unique
You know, for a story about robotic machines that only understand the concepts of right and wrong, exploring this kind of moral ambiguity would be really interesting
Maybe that's how Wily reprograms the Robot Masters he hijacks so easily. They weren't designed for this kind of 'there really isn't a right answer here' question, and he takes advantage of the Bluescreen.
I loved that one since it didn't give the franchise a twist that doesn't fit, instead they made an amazing master piece with great voice acting and that fit to the story of magaman. If capcom make this canon I would be so happy
I hope they make a sequel to this someday.
1:34 Roll's voice suits her looks very well, though, I'll admit,I kinda feel sorry for Dr. Wily..., almost loosing his son, so Megaman is actually more like Ironman than a Robot, except his original memory was erased, Wily should be at least happy his body still lives.
Then again,now that I think about it, Wily's origins here are similar to Vader's,he lost his wife, became filled with grief and hatred and later turned evil...... though now I'm confused as well is Wily truly a man turned evil by hatred and grief? Or having a massive Rivalry with his former friend? Which should I trust? His Archie comics origins or this? (LightningMario16 is unresponsive)
Lightning Mario16 this!
The Archie Comics is closer to the actual games, but you can choose either of them for a personal head canon. Not that it means it's the actual canon mind you, but one can prefer whichever one wants.
Wait...hold up, Wily's possible son gets severely injured on the brink of death,brought back in another light(heh heh),and becomes a hero fighting robots.... where have I heard that before?
@@Iron8127 Astroboy/Robocop
@@ligtningdog6399 more likely robocop in this case. In the case that with AstroBoy he was more... of a replica of the Original than well...a cyborg
this is incredible. wish some of these stale IPs would try a more mature, morally ambiguous tone in a compelling way that turns all existing knowledge of a franchise on it’s head. it’s brilliant how you used sprites and cutscenes to create new context for familiar moments.
i actually shed a single tear and that’s not a meme or anything swear to god
I can't play mega man with this stuck in my head, it's too perfect, time for a reboot
Even after al this time is simply love the transition between the sobbing in grief into maniacal laughter
This is the best twist of an existing plot I've seen since The Protomen
Gotta love that Dragon Ball reference with Android N°20 being like the teacher
Girl: "lost arm and face"
Fleegle: first time, huh
Anyone else notice how Wily married Symmetra
i did
Thus he's even more of a genius
God damn no wonder she was more thicc than usual in Overwatch
TheNotSoAvid I did!
TheNotSoAvid yea why symatra is willys wif
Actually this is a pretty good theory (i know is a parody) but actually explain a lot of this.
*This one seems surprisingly more cannon then the others.*
Imagine if these kind of videos were actually like 1 hour long documentaries
