![[HD] The Protomen - Act II - The Good Doctor](/img/1.gif)
I found this while playing piano today. When Emily sings “if the shadow should block the sun, there will be light” it’s the same motif as when light sings “They’ve waited so long for this day, someone to take the death away” in The Good Doctor.
Musically, it’s like she’s declaring her faith in him and his promise to save mankind.
And knowing what happens, it's just very, _very_ sad. Which makes me appreciate the song all the more.
That’s really cool
There are a fair few more of those knocking about in both acts.
I never knew an 80’s themed, rock opera, musical about Dr. Light from MegaMan struggling with depression after creating ProtoMan was something I needed.
This is before protoman though? And Act I is after MegaMan.
Protomen was created way later in the first song of act 1 this is about him creating the first robots with Wiley
For the longest time I heard this song with a faulty PC and never even knew about the "There will be Light" chorus! I missed out!
I decided to listen to both of the entire albums in one sitting while reading the lyrics with the notes. It was amazing but a horrible decision because I was an emotional wreck afterward.
Just did for the first time. I fear we are becoming what the story warned us of.
me too and i was in a bad mood almot depressive..i've listened the entire album over a night ....
@@lupusalbus3795 The release show for Act II was pretty amazing. They did all of Act I, took an intermission with a DJ, then did all of Act II with an orchestra. The whole thing was an amazing experience
wow gay
@@croaxleigh did they film it? That sounds amazing
If the shadow blocks out the sun... there will be Light!
If it stays 'till the sun is set... there will be Light!
If the sun never shows its face again... there will be Light!
No matter how dark the city gets... there will be...
...doctor light
*Bang*............
Light!
Every single time, even years later, that transition from music box to guitar gives me fucking chills.
I liked the end of the album more, but these first few songs show the immediate regret that came with making the machines. Light didn't even stop to reflect back and enjoy what he had created, he knew upon finishing that it was a mistake.
One of my favorite songs before the time skip in act 2. While the whole "Joe-Saga" is arguably one of the coolest and most tragicly heroic tales ever told by the protomen, this song delivers raw emotion and gives a sense of foreshadowing about the ending of the series. I really want to write a comic based on these storylines one day.
+William Zender I'd love to see that, the Megaman interpretation by Protomen is simply mindblowing, so seeing some media depicting the universe they present in their rock opera would be awesome.
I've been posting concepts for a screenplay in the comments of these videos just for fun, and also because a movie of this would be so freaking awesome. :)
Thanks to The Protomen and The Megas I've actually been working on my own little project based around Megaman and heavily inspired by both bands' interpretation of the story. Go for it, write your comic and I'll write mine. Maybe one day we can compare notes at some Con. Cheers, brother!
William Zender
A *comic?* I want to see this all *performed.*
I think Emily's lines in this song give a huge contrast to the nihilism of Act I, the idea that there are no heroes left in man is false... because Dr. Light is the true Hero of Man. Not Joe. Not Protoman. Not Megaman.
THERE WILL BE LIGHT!
"He will be everything that a man is supposed to be!......."
VOLUME IS NOW TO ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN
"IF THE SHADOW BLOCKS OUT THE SUN, THERE WILL BE LIGHT....."
Me gusta
reminds me of 80s rock bands. which makes me respect them so much more then most bands since they are willing to try something that isn't quite mainstream anymore. I love it. So different that the normals of today.
I know, such a mix of 80's and western.
Heard this on a Team Fortress 2 Radio plugin on my server, and instantly came here to find it. One of the most powerful songs I've heard, but all the comments say its better with the whole album. No sleep tonight for me.
Even when ultimately futile, we should all strive to be the version of ourselves that our loved one's see us as, just as Emily sees Tom.
Happy Father's Day everyone!
I thank VGHS for introducing me to this band. Been obsessed ever since.
same here
@@duk1243 HAHA me too
This is one of their most powerful songs on this album.
Act 1 details Light's creation of Blues and Rock, but it doesnt end there,
Act 2 is a prequel, and focuses of Light's backstory (none of what you said)
Act 3 (from what we know) Focuses on Roll
Actually 3rd act from what we know will still might be about megaman and roll I'm sure has a "role" to play. (Yes, pun intended)
maybe wily might make a robot of his own design for once.
TSonicBoom Plays technically isn’t zero by his own design
Purple dragon 19 In-universe, like how he made Bass or DWN-000
@@tsonicboomplays9694 idk if your referring to original by design or blueprint, cause technically bass was made using megaman design right
He did end up being the Father of Death, in the end.
To wily's forces megaman is death incarnate
Both of these movies need to be made into a movie STAT. I would totally go see the movie (This is the first time I'm listening to both of these albums and I LOVE them!!!).
The ending of this song just gives me shivers. Every time.
4:04 is the moment when Light finds Emily's body, don't even try to deny it.
I just noticed The Sniper on the cover art
He's right above the screen w/ Wily's face on it
thanks for linking those lyrics in the description, such a sad history light has.
There will be Light!
When's Act 3!? This is too good not to continue.
No matter what happens, there will still be Light.
It's the only main character who doesn't die.
Act 3: You sure about that?
That chorus fucks me up royally
The following is a little bit of my idea of how a full film of this album would look, continued from the last track in this channel:
*[LIGHT pauses for a good while before walking to the door to the lab. As he leaves the room, we see WILY smiling evilly behind him before looking at his watch, then at a clock on the wall, and setting a timer as he walks over to the robot and turns it on; the robot follows him out the door as he smirks again.]*
WILY: So very predictable.
*[As he leaves the room, the first few notes of "The Father of Death" begin playing. Cut to LIGHT, alone in the lab, looking over various schematics with a very worried look on his face. The schematics all include both his and WILY's names, and a number of them have been edited with markers in various places.]*
LIGHT: What have I done?
Though I did not pull the trigger, I built the gun that he holds in his hands.
Last night I dreamed I climbed to the top of a mountain of metal, and for miles I could see the destruction of man.
*[Cut to WILY in his car, parked just outside an apartment building with the Model 01 robot motionless in the backseat. WILY is looking at a notepad with notes on the distance between the police station and the building, as well as between the lab and the building, with approximate travel time for both. Looking at the timer on his watch again, WILY smiles and picks up his phone and dials 911.]*
WILY: *[spoken]* Yes, I'd like to report a domestic disturbance.
LIGHT: *[voiceover, sung]* I will not be the father of death!
*[cut back to LIGHT in his lab, as he picks up the photo of himself and a woman; he frowns with worry as he looks at it.]*
LIGHT: Darling Emily,
Everything that I have done, I have done for you, but it's turned out all wrong!
Can I take it back?
Can I turn off this machine before it destroys everything that I love?
*[LIGHT glances at the clock on the wall, then stands up and puts on his coat to leave.]*
I will find a way to make things right! I will find a way, Emily!
I will not be the father of death!
*[cut to the interior of an apartment, where WILY is frantically searching the place, leather gloves on his hands. The apartment has been trashed in the process of his search; finally, he opens a drawer and pulls out a small schematic of a handheld device marked "Concept: master controller". He smiles. Cut to EMILY STANTON, the same woman as in the photograph in the lab, unlocking the door to the apartment and entering, only to be startled by WILY and the state of the place. WILY quickly hides the schematic behind his back, where we see he is also holding a small black device with a button on it.]*
EMILY and (WILY): What are you doing here? (Let me take you away...)
I'm not going anywhere! (He will be NOTHING when this runs its course--)
He will be everything that a man is supposed to be!
*[cut to WILY's hands behind his back, placing his thumb on the button and pressing it. On the choir parts, cut to LIGHT ascending the stairs to the apartment, and every time the choir sings "There will be light", we see on each landing of the stairwell one of THE PROTOMEN playing an instrument and singing the words. Every time EMILY sings, we cut back to her as the robot behind her slowly approaches.]*
EMILY and (CHOIR): If a shadow blocks out the sun... (there will be light!)
If it stays 'till the sun is set... (there will be light!)
If the sun never shows its face again, (there will be light!)
No matter how dark this city gets, there will be--!
*[Just as she sings the last line, the robot begins to place a knife around her neck, but we cut away to LIGHT finally reaching the floor with the apartment, then cut to WILY fleeing via the fire escape, getting in his car and driving off just as a number of police cars arrive outside the building. Cut back to LIGHT as he opens the door, seeing the robot fleeing the same way as WILY... then seeing EMILY's lifeless body on the floor, in a pool of blood with her throat cut and a bloody knife on the floor next to her. Shock and disbelief almost instantly give way to inconsolable weeping as he cradles her body. Just then, the police enter the apartment, see him and the body, and assume the worst, pointing their guns at him and ordering him to stay where he is. Light slowly stands up, hands above his head as he slowly moves toward the open window, the police shouting at him more. Suddenly he leaps out the window and over the railing of the fire escape just as shots ring out, landing in a dumpster with a loud crash and grunting in awful pain before frantically climbing out, clutching his shoulder as he flees the scene. Cut to WILY sitting in his car a good ways away, the robot slowly climbing into the car with him. WILY is not smiling; his face is stoic, but his eyes have a VERY slight water to them. He sits there silently for a few moments before driving off.]*
-----
Here would be a good spot for an original number written by the Protomen just for the movie to help bridge the gap between this and "the Hounds".
-----
*[The first notes of "The Hounds" play as we cut to a lower floor of a broadcast tower, slowly panning up to WILY, standing at the window and looking out with his hands behind his back, his feet tapping to the rhythm. He is dressed in a suit and tie. Behind him is a podium in a large room, which is filled with dozens of reporters, their pens tapping against their notepads to the same rhythm. Near WILY is a glass door leading to a studio with a camera and microphone. WILY turns around to face the podium and the reporters.]*
I was inspired to write a scene based on this song as well! Though how I wrote it, I made it so Emily was killed in the middle of the street for Tom to grab her, like in the album art:
At home, a distressed man, TOM LIGHT, is sitting in front of a TV and drinking what looks like scotch/whiskey. His living room looks as mundane as he. He flips to the news and sees Wily demonstrating their new robot. He begins to pace around his apartment.
TOM 𝅘𝅥𝅮
What have I done? */*
Though I did not pull the trigger
I build the gun */* That he holds
In his hands */* Last night I
dreamed */* I climbed to the top
Of a mountain of metal */* and
For miles I could see the
Destruction of man.
I will not be the father of death.
Tom grabs his brown trenchcoat, his bike helmet, puts on his black leather boots, and goes for the door. He needs to talk to Emily.
TOM 𝅘𝅥𝅮
Darling Emily */* Everything
that I have done */* I have done for
you / But it’s turned out all wrong */*
Can I take it back? Can I turn off
this machine before it destroys
Everything I’ve loved? */* I will find
a way to make this right! */* I will
find a way Emily.
I will not be the father of death!
Tom shoots out of his apartment and to his motorcycle, to see his girlfriend. Another man, his best friend ALBERT WILY sneaks past Tom. Albert looks like he plans to fuck up Tom’s career in one night; in other words pissed the fuck off.
Though Albert thought no one saw, Tom’s girlfriend EMILY STANTON was on his way to Tom’s apartment as well. Emily follows Albert up while Albert thinks he’s alone. He puts on his gloves and gets to work.
Emily busts open Tom’s door to see Albert rummaging through drawers, but to Emily’s shock, he didn’t have a look of fear, but a look of unadulterated maniacal joy.
EMILY (ALBERT) 𝅘𝅥𝅮
What are you doing here (let
me take you away) */* I’m not going
anywhere (he will be nothing when this
runs it’s course) */* He will be everything
that a man */* is supposed to be!
Emily begins to corner Wily, near an open window.
EMILY (CHORUS + EMILY) 𝅘𝅥𝅮
If the shadow blocks the sun…
(there will be light!) */* If it stays till the
sun is set… (there will be light!) */* If
the sun never shows it’s face again…
(there will be light!)
Wily look towards the open window and down the alley at his robot.
No matter how dark the city
gets… (there will be--)
Wily jumps out the window, down a fire escape with a piece of paper, Emily chases him and leaves her note on tom's bed. As Wily crosses main street, he gives off a loud whistle. In the middle of the street, Emily stops and turns to see Tom and Albert’s robot running towards her with a knife. The robot slits her throat and runs back into the shadows.
Tom returning from Emily's empty apartment, hears screams just outside his apartment with a crowd gathered. Tom pushes his way through the crowd to see a pale girl, with blood running down her throat barely able to hold herself up. It was Emily. Tom is shocked beyond words and only able to gasp out an “Emily”.
Emily takes one step towards Tom before stumbling and falling unconscious, and Tom grabs a dead Emily. He’s not able to shed a tear from the utter disbelief. This scene looks very much like the Father of Death cover.
A close up of Tom’s face, in plain shock, is disturbed by the shouts of someone. As he turns to look, he sees the cops yelling for him to get down. Tom ignores them to look at Emily and is hit on the back of a head with a nightstick and blacks out.
They think it was Tom.
man i wish protomen would already do a vinyl copy of this album because i have a vinyl copy of act one when it first came out
From 2:40 to 3:21 I actually start to cry
what more could you ask of this song. oh yeah to want it to play again.
I wanted to post my favorite line in this song, then realized i'd just be posting the full lyrics
I'm going through and making a playlist of all their songs in order.
You, sir, have become my go-to uploader.
Even through I LOVE both Acts and the ''8(or 16,i don't know)-bits'' version of Act I, I would love to hear a instrumental/acoustic version of Act II.
And of course, Act III :P
I love this song, it's one of my favourites from this album.
love the guitar.
If the shadow blocks out the sun
There will be light!
Epic song
Algobump!
Holy shit this is a masterpiece
If the sun never shows its face again
THERE WILL BE LIGHT

I love to dance to this.
@David_Silverthorn Did you listen to the whole album yet?
Joe's on the motorbike just to the right
@Helioscore1

Don’t mind me I’m just marking my favorite part of each song

The Gambler

The Wolf Among Us 2
Am I the only one here who thinks Emily sounds like Shilo from Repo!The Genetic Opera?
Total Recall (2012) scenario...
[VGTG]
I thought that was Joe :O
Such a beautiful song .. for people who love good music, that is just amazing at the very core of its being check out MeWithoutYou. Like The Protomen, they have cult fallowing of faithfull fans.
Check out: MeWithoutYou Febuary 1878 , and MewithoutYou-In a Sweater Poorly Knit

SAME1111111111DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

The Gambler
bitch i have!
but that doesn't fit the story
like
at all
i dont care personally i watch it and im pissed about the way that the others that were brought are being treated
Look, you can't just wander in to something like this and expect those of us already here to just welcome you with open arms, especially when you start talking about something other than The Protomen and their music. You want us to quit bitching, quit bringing it up.
The story is good, but far from revolutionary. TvTropes has a page for the standard Rock Opera Plot. Spoilers below.
Act 1 introduces the protagonist, demonstrates that they are somehow different from the masses. Light is discontent with Wily's society and wants to change things.
Act 2 has the protagonist acting against the corrupt powers that be, and it seems like the hero might win. Light's plot fails, and vows to fix it. See Act 1.
In Act 3, (not yet out) the Hero ultimately fails.
TheColdZephyr
If you abstract all the way to a two sentence summary of each act there isn't an original story in existence.
TheColdZephyr And some of the greatest stories ever told all follow a similar plot structure called "The Hero's Journey," which TV Tropes also has an article on.
Humans, we're all the same underneath, just like stories. The same simple skeleton sits below our skin, our hair, our features - the things that make us unique. It's not about the underlying structure. It's about what you build onto that framework that makes something revolutionary.
Still fun when it's Megaman
