Why Portal 2 has the best and most tragic villain in gaming. Part 2

Skipping the underground section because Wheatley has nothing to do with it. We find Wheatley shouting at boxes with legs. GlaDOS throws a paradox at him. He’s too stoopid to realize what she even said. Wheatley complains about an itch he gets if he stops testing. GlaDOS again calls him a moron, He says the signature line again, “I AM NOT A MORON!” And he then proceedes to prove it. [quote]GlaDOS: Oh god he’s playing classical music. Wheatley: [sound of pages turning] Oh, sorry. Hope that didn't disturb you just then. It was the sound of books. Pages being turned. So that's just what I was doing. I was just reading... ah... books. So I'm not a moron. Anyway. Just finished the last one. The hardest one. Machiavelli. Do not know what all the fuss was about. Understood it perfectly. Have you read that one? Yeah, doubt it. Wish there was more books! But there's not. Well on with the test.[/quote] More test solving, two robots insulting each other, looking up a guide because the fourth chamber nearly broke me and Wheatley has a surprise. [quote]GlaDOS: Well this is the part where he kills us. Wheatley: Hello! This is the part where I kill you.[/quote] This is the part where he kills you. Yay. As you race towards Wheatley’s lair he is constantly trying to kill you with traps. [quote]Wheatley: Holmes VS Moriarty. Aristotle VS Mashy-spike-plate! [/quote] At one point he even asks you to kill yourself so he doesn’t have to fight you. [quote]Wheatley: Ah! There you are. Great. Let me just get rid of this catwalk for you. There we go. I'll be honest: The death traps have been a bit of a failure so far. For both of us. I think you'll agree. And you are getting very close to my lair. 'Lair' - heh, weird isn't it? First time I've said it out loud. Sounds a bit ridiculous, really. But I can assure you it is one. It is a proper lair. Deadly lair. And I just wanted to give you the chance to kill yourself now. Before you get to the lair. You can just jump into the masher, just there. Less a death trap, more a death option for you. Sounds crazy, I know. But hear me out. Once you get to my lair, death will not be optional. It will be mandatory. No tricks, no surprises: just you dying, as a result of me killing you in a very So. Boom. Better offer here is very gruesome way. just kill yourself. Seems like a lot of effort to walk all the way to my deadly lair, when there's a perfectly serviceable death option right there. Again: not a death trap. Your death would be entirely voluntary. And very much appreciated. The masher does work. I should point that out. I know we've had a couple of problems in the past. This masher definitely works and it will kill you. If that's one of your concerns about jumping in, the masher will kill you. Painless. Well, it won't be painless, obviously. But it will mash you up.[/quote] We see what Wheatley has done with the place, we find corrupted cores, GlaDOS reveals that somewhere down in her motherboard there is a good heart, and we arrive in his lair. [quote]Wheatley: Well, well, well. Welcome, (deep voice) to MY LAIR! (normal voice again) Lemme just flag something up: According to the control panel light up there, the entire building's going to self destruct in about six minutes. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the light. I think the light's on the blink. But just in case it isn't, I'm actually going to have to kill you, as discussed earlier. So, let's call that three minutes, and then a minute break, which should leave a leisurely two minutes to figure out how to shut down whatever's starting all the fires. So anyway, that's the itinerary. Also, I took the liberty of watching the tapes of you killing her, and I'm not going to make the same mistakes. Four part plan is this: One: No portal surfaces. Two: Start the neurotoxin immediately. Three: Bomb-proof shields for me. Leading directly into number Four: Bombs. For throwing at you. You know what, this plan is so good, I'm going to give you a sporting chance and turn off the neurotoxin. I'm joking. Of course. Goodbye.[/quote] I’m dodging bombs, GlaDOS is hiding, and Wheatley is shouting insults as much as he can. [quote]Wheatley: Oh, did you bring your little portal gun? There's nothing to portal onto here, love. Just ten pounds of dead weight. About to be two hundred and ten. Fatty. [/quote] This boss fight- AMAZING! I’m going to start out with the music. Not only is the music awesome, it also represents so much more. The metallic clanging and smashing bits represent Wheatley’s hatred towards you, while the soft bits are Wheatley just trying to survive a losing fight and is desperately trying to stop you. Another theory is that the metallic clanging and smashing bits are GlaDOS’ chassis corrupting him and the soft bits are him trying regaining control meaning that not only is he losing against you, he is losing his will against the corruption. This makes the song all the more tragic as Wheatley’ theme is mixed with GlaDOS’ theme as the fight continues. Here it is if you haven’t heard it yet. :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0uAsD6lQV1I I personally felt bad for Wheatley he is as much a victim as he is the villain. He didn’t choose to be a moron and now he’s paying the price for it. Strap some cores, redirect some bombs, and press a stalemate butt-[quote]PART FIVE! BOOBYTRAP THE STALEMATE BUTTON! What!? Are you still alive? You are joking. You have got be kidding me. Well, I'm still in control, AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PLACE! You had to play bloody cat and mouse, didn't you? While people were trying to work. Yes, well, now we're all going to pay the price. BECAUSE WE'RE ALL GOING TO BLOODY DIE. Oh, brilliant, yeah. Take one more look at your precious human moon. Because it cannot help you now! *Shoots moon* SPACE! Let go! We're in space! Let go! Let go! Space core: SPACE SPACE SPAAAAAAACEEEEE I'm still connected. I can pull myself in! I can still fix this. GlaDOS: I already fixed it and you are not coming back. Oh no. Change of plans. Hold onto me. Tighter! Grab me grab me grab me! Grab meeee! [/quote] FFFFFFF F FFFF F F After the credits we now see a sad and broken Wheatley who now realizes that he was in the wrong. [quote]I wish I could take it all back. I honestly do, I honestly do wish I could take it all back. And not because I'm stranded in space. Space core: Space space I’m in space. I know you are, mate. Yup, were both in space. Anyway... You know, if I was ever to see her again, you what I'd say? I'd say: "I'm sorry"... sincerely, I'm sorry I was bossy... and monstrous... and... I am genuinely sorry. The end.[/quote]
