@@monst3r_child832 hell no it isn’t, it isn’t lights fault that wily is such a sociopath that he made an evolving robot virus that would impact the earth hundreds of years later 💀💀
stickman97 It's not "bad." Mega Man just wasn't included in the roster, which doesn't make sense. I believe it has something to do with Mega Man being featured in Smash Bros. instead.
Offended too, first, why do we get reduced to a certain region . . . And as the name says Wiener Schnitzel is not even german! Counting austria as part of germany is sooo 1933
Actually, did you know that the "DIE WILY!" Dialogue is only in th U.S. version of Mega Man 7? In the original Japanese version, that text is actually just supposed to be "........" It's supposed to be Rock questioning himself. He's basically asking himself "could i really do it? If i could? Should i do it...?" But of course here in the U.S. it had to be cool and edgy, so it was changed to "DIE WILY!"
@@flameslinger8820 EEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeh...Not sure about that, when you use a novel from a different cannon into your theory (fnaf theory) and that you see "some parts might be cannon" without bringing any solid evidences, I don't think I can call this a HUGE improvement, but yeah, at least he is searching further.
@@neroctopusmess3198 well... Fnaf was fucked up from the beginning tbh. It has a reputation for taking unexpected twists and turn that seem quite unagreeable. Matt's just a trooper for trying to look at it from Scott's suggested perspective ^^ Personally tho, i have given up on the fnaf theories tho. I much prefer his Minecraft ones. Tho with this nether update coming later, he's probably waiting on hos Pigmen theory
@@techpriestmars6731 the nature of my comment, it's not insinuating a serious tone. I did notice it but im not trying to tear down the channels credibility; Relax.
You know it's a good #GameTheory when people are debating your research, ethics, science fiction, religion, AND which game is the best :) Which #Megaman is YOUR favorite? My choice is 5...Gravity Man FTW!
The FNAF robots were made to kidnap children almost from the very beginning. I highly doubt there is a single line of coding in their systems that gives any consideration to any of the three laws.
There's few small flaws in your theory, Matt. 1. Dr. Wily is hardly an idiot when it comes to robotics. You make it sound like all he can do is sit back and beg robots to pretty please join him. If that were the case the stages and his fortresses would be empty, and he'd come at you on a bicycle. 2. You made it sound like Dr. Light made all the robot Masters. He only made the first and ninth Batch of Robot Masters himself. Has I recall, the second, fifth and Seventh batches were all made from the ground up by Wily. The third was made by Light and Wily together. The fourth batch was made by Dr. Cossack. The sixth were made by robotic engineers from all over the world and entered in a global competition. The eighth also came from all sorts of different places, such as Clown Man's being an old amusement park attraction, though I don't believe their creators are ever credited none of them were Thomas Light, I'm pretty such. 3. LIGHT'S ROBOT'S CAN'T KILL PEOPLE. Dr. Wily reprograms them and erases the program that prevents them from doing so. Yes this includes Mega Man. That's probably why he's talking so slow he's, trying to go against his programing, and probably wouldn't have been able to. Remember that scene in Robocop, when he tries to kill Dick Jones? Yeah he was a real prick too. But Robocop could not break his programing, and that dude had a Human Brain! It was like that. Mega can point the Buster and threaten. But that's about it. As advance as Mega Man's A.I. was, able to make some choices for himself he was still a slave to his programing. That's what makes X so special. Dr. Light wanted him to be a real person, he wanted a son. So he made something more than a robot, something with complete free will, capable of random thoughts and actions, true autonomy. An absolute variable, hence the name "X". And though he did it begrudgingly, that included the ability to kill people. He knew he had to have that choice for his actions and decisions to have any meaning. If what you're saying is true, then X's existence is pointless because Dr. Light's been pumping these out since day one.
Don't forget that Wily also created Bass, King, and Zero. Three some of the most powerful robots of their respected eras. I strongly do not believe MatPat played MegaMan. All of his information is wrong. Dr. Light did not let ProtoMan walk away. ProtoMan refused to allow Light to repair him and ran away. Light actually looked for him and believed he was dead. Protoman still refuses to be fixed............ Why does this video have so many likes with all of this false info?
Awesome Card Games Because Matt impresses people with deep philosophies, scientific theorems and internet memes... Not saying he doesn't pour a lot of thought and work into these videos. Or that they can't be interesting, funny, entertaining, or thought provoking, heck they usually are. But damn, Dude. Stop trying to shove square shaped theories into circle shaped games, just because they're nostalgic, and you're trying to blow our minds.
Megaman might not be able to kill humans, but he is able to kill them if they are actually ALIENS! Yeah, it was still a robot, but he didn't know that at the time.
***** Talk about kissing someone's butt. You're lying just like Mat. He did not prove that he played MegaMan. He did the opposite by providing incorrect information throughout the entire video. I have played every MegaMan game from every series. Any fan like myself knows Mat is a liar because his information is just so wrong. Dr. Light did not let ProtoMan run away. ProtoMan does not want to be fixed, and ran away on his own freewill. Everything makes perfect sense? You're full of it. Providing FALSE information is NOT perfect sense.
The Japanese version of Mega Man 7 has Mega Man stop charging his buster after Wily reminds him that he cannot harm humans; which effects this theory significantly, as it suggests Mega Man's immunity to the three laws of Robotics was added in the English version. The stuff with the Mega Man 9 robots still applies, however, but keep in mind that Dr. Wily also modifies them to better suit his needs. The Mega Man X series establishes that the first completely autonomous robot was Mega Man X, establishing that all previous robots at least had some limitation on their autonomy, like the Three Laws (this is why Proto Man is not considered a Reploid like the robots in Mega Man X are).
I think the more free will developing for mega man holds up even with that. He's shown gradual changes unlike other robots towards free will, if he had to stick to the three rules he would have never threatened in the first place. Being reminded stopping him still shows some sort of conscience and conflict. It really fits with his gradual growing "soul" and possible origin of X in him. X has been conflicted many times with his will, but thats something else. 8 also pokes at it during the ending, as things couldn't affect him if he lacked some sort of free will. Personally I think his true free will came about after 8. Dr light had many chances to use data from Duo, not to mention Duo's power used on megaman. 8 also kinda shows the possible origin of the zero virus but the games never go into TOO much story detail, so its mostly a theory. A GAME THEORY OH NO!
Also: Megaman killing wily DOES NOT interfere with the laws of robotics. Theres is a 0th law: A robot may not harm humanity, or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm. Wily, although human, was a danger to humanity, and if Megaman didn't apprehend or in this case, kill Wily, that would be in violation of the 0th law.

The scene where Megaman decides to kill Wily actually is covered under Asimov's laws, because there's an unwritten "zeroth" law, which supersedes all the others. "A robot may not harm HUMANITY, or through inaction allow HUMANITY to come to harm." If by killing one man a robot saves many lives, then the robot is not just ALLOWED to do so, it MUST do so. This is a dilemma Asimov himself addressed. So, it's actually possible that Megaman was following the laws of robotics. By killing Wily Megaman could save countless lives, so under the zeroth law he actually is required to kill the man. He's just following his programming.
The Hollow Knight: (me fixing game theory’s theory) fire man was built to break down waste, and bomb man was built to demolish buildings. Not to mention at the convention where dr Lalilind (butchered it) and light argued and the emerald spears attacked, elec man was unable to attack the terrorists until they harmed the civilians. My point, that the robots follow the law of robotics, and what game theory said completely back fired on himself.
@@lunarman16 But that doesn't follow the 1st law of robotics. It says that a robot may not injure a human being or, through INACTION, allow a human being to come to harm. Their inaction would have violated the 1st law. So they may not have the laws programed in
Catman-du who’s inaction? Mega man couldn’t do anything but get the civilians to safety. But when one of the emerald spears used the bombs , they were allowed to stop them by force.
You're forgetting what I call "Asimov's Loophole": killing the few villains to protect the many innocents. I Robot had this loophole as the major plot point, resulting in the AI gone awry being able to justify EVERY SINGLE ACTION on the Three Laws, without any error in logic!
Not only that is an option, as there's also the consideration of there ever being an equivalent to Asimov in the Megaman World. Supposing Light is really a brilliant mind on a breakthrough, he could've come years before there was even someone to theorise robot ethics.
DarkAngelEU we don't really know the time spam of the series. But I'm guessing, surely, at most a couple of years later, they sure would come up with ethics after the incidents
There is a really good video about Megaman released from Capcom called the Day of Sigma which shows the implementation and development of Megaman. Yeah Protoman just escaping was pretty damn funny. Ehh F@#$ it, I'll jusst build more LOL.
ProtoMario but he didn't just build more he wasn't going to build anymore but wily edged him on to continue their dream also protoman didn't just leave there was a lot more to blues leaving
Hmm, they did create the MegaMan games ERGO they created all of the continuous conflict in the Mega Man series ERGO they are the true villains for making these games where robots in that universe terrorize humans. But wait, they recently are not making the games ERGO dissolving all the problems that have and will happen ERGO helping Mega Man in his quest for peace with the lack of robot attacks ERGO making them the good guys for putting an end to the cycle of destruction Mega Man has to prevent daily. And then the fans complain to Capcom about not making a new Mega Man game ERGO wanting another robot rampage to occur in the world of Mega Man ERGO not helping in the robot's cause for maintaining peace and happiness ERGO making them the bad guys for wanting more chaos for their entertainment value. Hmm, I don't know man; it's seems like us MM fans are the true villains here while Capcom are trying to atone for their deeds of putting Mega Man through endless cycle of violence in his games.
Kind of both really. In terms of true villains and your joke about Capcom; the irony was not lost on me that while the fans really love the character, we also demand another game where Megaman has to risk his life to end yet another robot rampage that created untold amounts property damage, injuries and deaths in order to maintain a momentary peace only for the next game to repeat the same thing. It's like Last Action Hero: it is cool to see Jack Ryan go on these awesome adventures and kick some ass, until you realize he never really enjoys them due to how much it ruins his personal life.
BigK13372 you make a valid point but in terms of reality i am being serious about capcom being megaman's true villan mainly how they us false hopes of a new megaman game as well as make him look retarted in sfxtk
Me: I LATE, QUICK GOTTA THNK OF AN EXUSE!!! Me: if only I got out of the shower earlier..... My friends: you took over a seven year shower? Me: uhm.....yes?
Mr. Kirby that actually has nothing to do with roboethics, "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" try uploading a human mind into a computer with as much power as Glados without corrupting them, you will fail miserably
If I remembered correctly, the robots were not created with weapons. They had tools, but are later modified by Wily and turned into weapon grade arsenals. Almost all of the robots were industrial robots, except for Rock, Roll, and Zero. The fact that Wily mentioned that robots cannot harm humans, it means Light must have already had safety protocols similar to Asimov's laws in those other robots, except for Megaman who were meant to be as human as possible. Megaman's statement is actually an assertion of his ability to be able to judge what is right and wrong. Meaning he is not a slave to humanity, but as equals. BTW Asimov's laws are not air tight because a robot cannot judge what is considered harm or injury without very specific parameter. In fact the first law is the problem, because while it prevents a robot rebellion, it will make the robot non-functional quite often, which will be explained below. Okay, let's say I am in a mall with a gun pointed at my head by a lunatic who is about to shoot me. The first law dictates that the robots in the vicinity must help me, but the first law also stated that harming the guy holding a gun to my head is not allowed. Now a normal person with freewill will assess the situation and make a decision. Which decision or whether it is a good decision or not, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that a person with freewill can look at the other decision and say "screw it". However, a robot cannot do such things because it has no freewill due to Asimov's law. Lastly, the example about the autonomous turret. Is that suppose to be horrifying because the turret has freewill, or is it horrifying that it has the ability to kill without human pulling the trigger? Yet, the turret have no freewill and is following programming set by humans, essentially an obedient slave. Freewill is not the issue with that turret, it is how horrifying human beings can be when we act in fear that is the problem. The turret is only doing what we told it to do, and we did not give it freewill to question the orders. Freewill can be good or bad, and if we deem robots as loyal servants, then we first must question ourselves because we are the ones with the freewill to do so, not the robots.
It's still not Lights fault. His robots Do follow the laws of robotics but Wily _reprogrammed_ them. It would only make sense for him remove the laws if he wanted to use them as weapons.
Fun video, and an interesting little hypothesis. However, there are some problems with it: 1: Dr Light did NOT create all the Robot Masters in each game. Dr Wily created the ones in Mega Man 2, 5, 7, and 8, Dr Cossack created the ones in 4, and several scientists were the creators of the robots in Mega Man 6. Since so many of these robots were made by other people, you can't say that it was all Dr Light's fault that they went on a rampage. And keep in mind, Wily created many of these himself, making him share even more of the responsibility. 2: It is heavily suggested by the overall plot that the type of autonomy Mega Man possesses is unique to him. Notice in the very scene that you use to prove your argument, Wily is shocked that Mega Man is able to decide for himself to blast him.. and this is in Mega Man 7, meaning that a whole lot of time has passed with Wily and Light messing around with robotics. If autonomy was something that all these robots had, why then is Wily surprised that Mega Man was able to make the decision he made? Even more, consider also that the ones in Mega Man 9 were going to accept their fates, and only went with Wily because he promised to fix them so they could keep on doing their intended purposes (by the way, note that many of these Masters are actually re-purposed utility/worker robots, only sticking with the jobs assigned and programed to them. What's more, the decision making abilities they have were specific to their job set and for commanding other less advanced robots for the projects they were made for - Guts Man, a construction robot, commanding a bunch of less advanced construction bots such as the mets - ; that's why they are called Robot Masters, actually. If they had the full autonomy Mega Man has, couldn't they have decided to do some other work, or be able to go against their programing?). They did NOT chose to go on a rampage, that only happened after he reprogrammed them. So if the autonomy that Mega Man possesses is unique to him, or at the very least is something that only a few of the robots have (such as Proto Man, Roll, and Bass), then that pretty much deflates the argument that all these rampages are Dr Light's fault because of all these robots having autonomy. Another point, though it's not really theory busting: Dr Light didn't actually just let Proto Man run off and not care about pursuing him. When Proto Man escaped, he was considered destroyed, thus there was no attempt to get him back. Dr wily later found and repaired him; that's how he was able to figure out how to reprogram the robots Dr Light made. So yeah, nice hypothesis, but it doesn't really hold up when one recalls the overall plot of the games. Still was a fun video though, and I like the other Game Theorists videos, so no biggie. :p
none of his theories ever hold up, i don't get why people watch this garbage, and before people point out the obvious, yes I'm watching this because it's my first time watching his videos, but this is the third video i've watched and it's clear he has no clue what he's talking about on anything he covers.
***** Actually, to be fair, a theory is actually a fact, or as close to a fact as we can get, at least if we are talking about the strict definition of the word. This is why I called what he suggested a hypothesis. A hypothesis is something like an educated guess with some support for it (very simplistic definition, I know). A theory is a hypothesis that's been tested over and over to see if it holds up to scrutiny. Most people use the word theory, but actually mean hypothesis, or even just a guess. Anyway, just wanted to clear that up, though I do have to state again that I actually like these videos, even if they aren't always correct. They're interesting, and they're fun to watch. Plus, it's just fun to speculate about all these stories and background stuff in video games. We don't always have to be right when it comes to fun speculation, it just has to make some sort of sense.
Swordsage Sorry for not replying to your post but I just wanted to say.. Didn't expect you here! Only expected seeing you on Skalla's, Lindy's and Matt's/Schola's channel. Ahoy!
Erik Dillon True, though I don't dispute that in my post. Also, keep in mind that (as you yourself just pointed out) Wily also helped make the Robot Master's in 3, so again, you can't really say it's all Light's fault. Even if we were to decide that somehow, because Light had a hand in creating those robots, it is his fault, that's just one game, not the whole run of the series. So the hypothesis here still doesn't hold up.
Same, but then again you could combine his new theory with this in order to explain his motive. edit: I made this comment while in the middle of the theory but after finishing it, I realized that actually still does work with the other theory
It still holds up, it didn't really say Dr Willy was good, just that it's Dr Light's fault for giving the robots free will and ignoring the three laws of robotics.
One huge flaw: Light never ignored the law. The only reason Protoman can think for himself is due to an error in his system (same reason he ran away too.) Megaman 1's robot masters were built to obay humans and were made as utility robots and had their weapons (And likely robot ethics) modified by Dr. Wily for evil, they originally did nothing dangerous at all.
OBJECTION! Game Theory, I realize this is merely an entertaining video, but your basis of information is the anomaly that is the English ending of Megaman 7 that most fans don't consider canon because Megaman acts out of character, and it also is different from the original Japanese ending. Before 7's ending and after it, it's repeatedly stated that Megaman is a pacifist FORCED to fight, and yes, clearly bound by the rules of robotics if you look at all the actions he did in every other Megaman classic title. Megaman only wanted to kill Wily in the English version of the game - something added by Capcom USA, not the original creators. In the original Japanese version, he merely threatens Wily, and then when Dr. Wily reminds him that robots cannot harm humans, he lowers his buster and stands down, rather than saying that he's "more than a robot", like in the English version. It's sort of ridiculous to count edits made by a localization team as canon, especially when the original creators never agreed to the changes. Keiji Inafune has stated he was personally displeased with the ending of 7, and even the original threat against Wily was not his doing.
I'm guessing that's true, 'cause I don't wanna play Scooby-Doo and scour the internet for the truth about Mega Mans. But I have to say, I really like Capcom USA's ending. It puts and interesting and dark spin on a character that everybody knows as a cookie-cutter good guy. And raises interesting questions, allowing for fun theories like the one in this video. And who says the Japanese way is the right way, anyhow? All of the Mega Man games and cartoons he referenced in the video were American/English adaptations. Maybe he wasn't talking about the Japanese Mega Man. Maybe Rockman and Mega Man are two wholly different ideas because of this. Woah. I was about to divide by zero there. Sorry.
Cameron McClain OBJECTION!!! you're basis of information is the anomaly that is the English ending of Megaman 7 that most fans don't consider canon because Megaman acts out of character, and it also is different from the original Japanese ending. (fixed :D)
According to the wiki, the Japanese ending did make mention of the rules of robotics, so we've at least established their existence. So that's that. Also, (although not as clear-cut as the 7 English ending) Protoman broke rule 3 by escaping, as he disregarded his creator's will to repair him in order to "survive" (as he believed). And at the same time, Megaman volunteers to a course of action that would weaponize him, which to me seems like a breach of rule 1. What I'm getting at is this: Although the (non-cannon) ending of 7 made a very clear case of the rules being established and disregarded, there's arguably proof in the cannon that the rules exist, and at least Proto and Mega can bend them. Besides, the company's objection was how lousily the character was represented, no breach of cannon ;)
Do you know why Dr. Light made X? He did it to have complete free will on his actions, not before putting him in a 30 years A.I. Test to assure he didn't have homicide thoughts to the human race. All this happening in the end of the Classic Megaman timeline
Description in this vid: "Help us reach one millions subscribers!" Matpat now: *has over 12 million subscribers on game theory and 7 million on film theory*
1:15 What about Medic from Team Fortress 2, he clearly isn't drinking bear, he isn't eating prezel's nor weiners. He also isn't nazi, if he was, he wouldn't heal Demoman...
Ah yes. The ending of Megaman 7, when for some reason the translation team went from "................" to "Die Wily". Sure. Let's blame the creator of the gunpowder for every war where explosives where used.
I think the “Wily is innocent!” in the image was always intended to just be clickbait. What Matpat is saying is Dr. Light is the one to blame for Wily’s rise to power.
I would think they're evenly matched. Yes, Megaman can copy abilities, but to obtain Astroboy's abilities, Megaman would have to knock him out. Also remember Megaman can only use one ability at a time.
Which ability of Astro's would Megaman take though? The ability to fly, maybe? Also, I thought maybe they would be on the same side, but then I realised they'd probably come to a head simply because Megaman fights against bad robots, whereas Astroboy fights for peace between humans and robots, especially robot rights.
>profile picture is a creepypasta with shades >name is "i dont know what to name myself so just this" >acting condescending and calling people kids >??? >irony???
Buuuut Light only made Proto, Rock, Roll, and the original 6/8 masters (depends on if you believe powered up is canon). Also, X was the first robot with free will (and I guess zero as well), so these robots still had the laws of robotics at the time. Dr. Light in fact tried really hard to make sure X had a conscience by storing him for 30 years (and stayed for 70 more)
Doctor Light built.. Mega Man 1 robot masters Mega man 3 robot masters are built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily Mega Man 9 robot masters are built by Doctor Light so yeah (Shadow man doesn't count,if you saw the archie)
Here's a couple of reasons why this video is wrong: 1. Dr. Willy is clearly the bad guy, but bot because of the whole German stereotype bullshit, but because he legitimately wants to take over the world. 2. Megaman wanted to be a combat robot, but he was programed with the rules of robotics in mind (don't hurt people). You hear Dr. Light say "Fight for everlasting peace." 3. what do Korean turrets have to do with anything its fucking megaman 4. Megaman is a series from the 80's, and games from that time were marketed towards kids. Although stuff got dark like in Megaman X, it's still Megaman. A robot boy off to save the world from an evil scientist.
Wily is obviously the villain, but if it wasn't for Light he couldn't. Light basically put a gun in the hands of a serial killer. In the beginning of the video, Megaman flat out tries to MURDER Wily. But hey, it's just game theory, The show where you take a lighthearted game and turn it into a moral dilemma.
Siddiq Ismail Yes, Megaman did try to murder Wily. After 7 games worth of robots destroying the city and endangering lives, he probably felt it best to end the problem at its source. Acting in the best interest of the world. It's still a dangerous first step, but can you honestly say if you were in his position you wouldn't felt the same way / acted the same way? Also I call bull on this all being Lights fault. Wily and Light built the first 6 robot masters for practical uses. Ice Man - Refrigeration Guts Man - Construction Bomb Man - Demolition etc... Wily went all evil and reprogrammed them. Wily built the robot masters after that point and they were all programmed to further his goal of conquest. Sorry, that isn't Light's fault.
Robert Berry You left out a critical point that invalidates this theory: Megaman NEVER states he is more than a robot in the Japanese script. He tries to eliminate Wily, but is reminded he is bound by the laws of robotics, then stops and remains silent.
Ah. See, I never played it in Japanese. Because I can't read Japanese. I based my argument off of the English translation, because that's the one I played as well as the version mentioned in the video. But I'll take your word for it. I'll continue to wave the brown flag of bullcrap, though, because I still don't think any of this is Dr. Light's fault.
Except that the only Robot Masters built by Dr. Light were the ones in 1, joint built with a "reformed' Wily in 3, and 9. The only other person who wasn't wily who built any Robot Masters was Dr. Cossack in MM4....The Robot Masters in 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 are all Wily's doing.
But like Matpat said, It all falls back to Dr.Light. He inspired people like Dr.Cossack and Dr.Wily to do these things. Heck, in Mega Man X, Dr.Light even inspired Dr.Cain to build the Repliods that would soon become Mavericks!
Scott .F Erm. You're just repeating what I said. All the robot masters in 2, 5, 7, 8 and 10(?) were built by wily and wily alone. In 1 they were reprogrammed Doctor Light robots, in 3, a "Reformed" Wily worked with Doctor Light to build both the robot masters and the final giant robot Gamma. In Mega Man 4, Wily held Doctor Cossacks' daughter hostage and forced him to build robots to beat mega man. In Mega Man 9, Wily used his wits to corral Other Doctor Light made robots into helping him due to their expiration date. Well..with the exception of Mega Man 6, those were stolen by Wily, made by unknown scientists and then modified by Wily under the guise of Mr. X
I feel like this show has become less like "Game Theory" and more like "Game Plot Twist" or maybe even "Guess what cause everthing you know about a videogame was WRONG: The Show". Not that its a bad thing or anything.
I suppose the question to ask is: Would we program those three laws into humans if we could? In regards to other humans and not robots of course. Humans enforce laws and nurture one another to be as good and kind to one another as possible, but is this the way it was supposed to be or is this a consolation for not being able to go one step further? If you could guarantee safety by restricting human freedom to commit violent acts, would you?
True true, though it might be better to avoid building robots all together or at least give them code that might put human life as something important, or life in general as something important. In the end, if we decide to create true A.I. we need to think about what we're doing, creating even, and what we need to do to prevent damage to life on Earth as a whole.
We can't program robots as humans, because human minds are erratic, we think and feel, and both of them can interfere with each other. An A.I. programed as a human will eventually learn to feel, restarting the cycle, making imperfect beings, making artificial life, and will learn how to make more (Terminator somewhere?). Robotics is a dangerous root of science, simple robots are useful, but a small mistake on A.I. improvement, and the worst nightmare of movies can become true.
MisterProfessor Some might. I consider such unethical. Laws should never be absolute, because our morality largely isn't, and shouldn't be drawn from law. Similarly, there are no rules without exceptions. I also disagree with you that kindness and goodness are the goals of law, or the results of how we nurture each other. Law serves to protect society, and it's members, and the results of social interaction are highly variable. I wouldn't, and if anyone tried to do so, I would happily kill them should I find myself able to. Tyranny, regardless of intentions, is unacceptable.
Blue & Company "true A.I."? I feel as if I have to object with the "made by Humans" definition of artificial, as I feel artificial is more identified with "fake".
Well, who's the one who scraps Megaman's powers after he defeats Wily? Megaman: Hey, Doctor Wily fled, I gotta go catch him Light: You don't need those powers anymore Megaman: But! Light: You, don't, need, them, any, more .... dun dun DUUUUUUUN!
okay im considering the reason why megaman is megaman. He chose to don the armor and protect his home, heroes protect by any means necessary even if the hero is a machine. Megaman must've believed through his hero's morality system that he had to try and destroy wily
plus, every robot in the 1st game had a specific purpose. Cutman was a logging robot, Fireman was a trash processing bot. he equipped the robots with the tools necessary for the jobs he programmed them to do

I understand you were being silly with the German Stereotypes, but the picture you displayed as Wiener Schnitzel is not it, even though I know the joke is because it name sounds like "wiener". Wiener Schnitzel is a very thin breaded piece of veal, or pork, it is sometimes served with Wurst, which is a "wiener." If I offend anyone by pointing that out, I'm sorry. I just wanted to point information out, and I do understand MatPat was just making a joke.
Also, the Wiener in Wiener Snitzel is actually from the Austrian city of Vienna. In other words when you are asking for a Wiener Snitzel you're basically asking for "breaded lamb meat from Vienna".
Normally, I'm inclined to think at length on these topics, especially since such a good case is put forth. However, I can't agree at all on this theory. What's being argued here is purely semantics. Dr. Light created a series of androids with autonomy, but NOT, as was stated, without ethical programming. Rock and Blues were experimental exceptions to this as Light wanted to see how a robot without a specific purpose would adapt to human life. Blues chose to "escape" and find his own path whereas Rock acted more like a child would and chose to see Light as a father and act that way. Both, though, exhibited strong ethical tendencies (Blues, though rebellious, usually did the right thing even so far as to end up being a major ally to Megaman in his fight against Wily). The incident at the end of MM7 was the case of Megaman finally being pushed too far and acting like an angry teenager. In summary, Light built some robots who's "purpose" was to be human. Now, had you said that Light was responsible for the Reploid uprisings in the X series, then I would be more inclined to believe it. Dr. Light did build X with the full intention of him being absolutely free willed. Dr.Cain, having found X some years later in stasis then used X as a template to create the Reploids and, ultimately, Sigma. And we all know what happened with Sigma there. Though, it could be argued that Wily was just as much at fault when he created Zero as a means to infect all other robots with a virus that caused a sort of induced robot madness and eventually infecting Sigma as well. But, really, this is all just like blaming the person who invented the spear for every war ever fought and the deaths that have occurred because of it.
I didn't like how he grabbed the entirely free will of Proto Man and Mega Man then applied that to every other Robot Master out there, implying they all have the ability to kill humans which none of them ever even considered. Also the fact that Mega Man and Proto Man both had human-like ethics, pretty much means Dr. Light created...basically humans. Sure they're stronger than a normal human, but put some body armor on a guy and give him a gun and you essentially have Mega Man. So really, if because of what happened in MM7 makes Dr. Light a bad person for creating something with the potential to kill human beings, then does that mean this video is implying all parents, mothers and fathers, are bad people for also creating something with the potential to kill human beings?
Making a robot that has free will and weapons attached to him AND has no reason not to kill humans, and then having another guy manipulate the robots to join his side, who's responsible for the deaths?
Rahzel Dazzle the robots werent killing anybody until they joined his side, so its Wily's fault. Humans have free will, can buy and make weapons, and have no reason not to kill humans. You dont blame a murderers mother for giving birth to him.
Angus Khan yeah, but humans are usually raised to stay away from killing, and robots are much better at killing than humans. Also, yeah they weren't killing anyone( I think, I haven't played mega man ) but that's because they had no reason to. Besides, when they joined wily, they KNEW they were going to harm humans and were okay with that as long as they get to "live" past their expiration date.
Rahzel Dazzle which still makes it Wily's fault... no matter how dumb it is to make free will robots, it will never not be wily's fault. And making a statement like "wily is innocent" like in the thumbnail is silly.
Once you decided to go and use the well-known, purposeful mistranslation of MM7's ending to support your views this video became nonsense. Originally, Rock wanted to kill Wily, but couldn't due to his programming. Dr. Light gave Rock free will except when it regards the three laws you listed. This is very apparent when it comes to direct translations of the games. Oh no, Dr. Light made 14 of the 78 robot masters! They had tools meant to quickly and efficiently complete work that's dangerous for humans, but could easily be used as weapons! It's his fault that these machines were tampered or fooled with for destructive purposes! He's the bad guy of the entire series, and he's the one behind all 78 robot masters getting controlled by Wily! No. Other than Rock, Roll, Protoman, and X, Dr. Light didn't make a single robot with free will until MegaMan 9. Even then, Protoman was the only one that didn't follow the three listed laws--an oversight in his first attempt to advance robotics--and the MegaMan 9 robot masters weren't convinced to do evil acts, either. They were convinced to allow Wily to "repair" them, as he promised no nefarious intentions. They still followed the laws you listed. It was self-preservation that didn't conflict with the previous two laws. Altogether, this video is full of misinformation and logical holes.
DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING COMMENT IS BASED ON THE INFO PROVIDED IN THIS VIDEO Dr. Light is not the villain. Wily is. Obviously. I see what youre saying, but Dr. Light is just a dumb ass who made a mistake. A mistake he tried to fix. He is not responsible for someone elses actions. He is responsible for creating a scenario that COULD allow such a thing to happen, but he is not responsible for it happening. All you do in game theory anymore is just pick one of the protagonists and try to pin them as a villain. Its getting a little old, and its becoming less effective, as shown in this video. Interested to see how many more there will be of the same type
I'll just pull a page out of the game theory book real fast: MATT IS ACTUALLY AN EVIL OVERLORD TRYING TO GET US ALL TO BELIEVE THAT PROTAGONISTS ARE ACTUALLY ANTAGONISTS. see what I did there?
Thank you very much I was thinking something along the lines of that as well and at this point everyone needs to see your comment since I can't think of any better way to put it
Dr. Light is partially responsible for the consequences of his creations, because he did in fact, know that it could happen, by giving them autonomy. Those things wouldn't have happened if Dr. Light just stuck to the roboethics. If he had, there is no way that they could have been convinced to do something other than what they were programmed to. If they in some moment do something that they were not programmed to do, then and only then is the responsibility taken off Dr. Light. But he gave them free will, so he must take the responsibility of allowing his creations to make erroneous decisions harmful to mankind, regardless of who convinced them.
(this was a reply to Angel Machado, I've not yet adapted to the new commenting system. ha) Thats like saying a parent should take responsibility for their kids doing drugs. Sure, There is a part a parent plays in preventing that, but they cannot be held responsible for everything their children do. Are your parents responsible for everything good/bad youve done in your life?
no, in the grand scheme, Dr. Wily is still the villain, because most of the Robot Masters were built by him and thus designed them for destruction. the Robot Masters Dr. Light built were made to help humans, and in both cases where Light's robots were the enemies, Wily had reprogrammed them to serve his purposes, while only in MM9 were the robots persuaded to his side. also worth mention is that in the end to MM9, Dr. Light found new purposes for his expired robots. while Light may be partially responsible for Robot Masters going bad, most of the blame can still be placed on Wily
This video didn't say Light is evil, but that he is responsible. The title and thumbnail are mis-leading. He did say that Light had the best intentions, but simply didnt stand up to his own responsibility
His robots _did_ follow the laws of robotics but Wily's reprogramming made them ignore that. Take 9 for example. Wily offered to "fix" the Robot masters so he definitely modified them.
It's worse than this video implies. EVERYTHING in the Megaman, X, Zero, ZX, and Legends series, all of the mavericks, retirements, massacres, civil wars, world wars, apocalypses, etc, all of those are because Doctor Light did it AGAIN when he made X, and because Doctor Cain copied Light's work.
not all of it, x was sealed in a capsule to test his morality for 30 years before he could be released, though something went wrong and lights lab was buried for 100 years, cain (an archaeologist) copied x's design making sigma, meanwhile zero (created by wily who is carrying around wilys personality in digital form) is activated and wilys' personality (also known as the maverick virus.) When sigma shows up to fight a mysterious robot (zero) the virus transfers to sigma, which is where the megaman x series starts.
r6srider Taking everything to its logical extreme, isn't light suspicious for knowing everything that went wrong? I mean, how did he know where to put the capsules for compatible armors in bases of mavericks X was going to fight at that time? How could he predict that at the same crisis, there was a random cave that was going to be taken over by a maverick as well as in a sunken ship in the middle of nowhere? Maybe this is light trying to take responsibility for his action at the end of his life...
I want to join you to review the greatest mega man game ever - 64! I mean come in 64 is 32x2 and 2 is considered the best in the series by many so it must be 32 times more awesome...right? That's my theory...A GAME THEORY! Thanks for watc...I mean reading!
Ronit Taleti Well, probably there's some sort of detector or sensor of intrusions on the process, but technically speaking, Asimov's laws were created as more of a guideline for robots that could have the potential of killing a person or stuff, willingly, sort of how I, Robot plays out.
An ethical possibility for Megaman deciding to off Wily in the seventh game could be the same as Zero being able to fight and kill Dr. Weil in Megaman Zero 4, "fighting for those he believes in" aside. Asimov's 0th Law of Robotics, which states (probably get a little of this wrong) that robots cannot through action or inaction allow harm to fall upon humanity as whole, as in if there was a threat to the entire human race. If said threat was by chance a human, and said human was intent on destroying humanity, a robot would be free to ignore laws one, two, and three in order to ensure humanity's survival. Megaman likely recognized the neverending process of Wily trying for world domination, thus countless lives being lost even if he was stopped each time, and decided that Wily's death would prevent the eventual destruction of humanity.
The events of the game would support this reading, because the property damage in populated urban areas being literally shown in Mega Man 7's intro and intro stage and intermission is unprecedented in a Mega Man game.
Exactly. And 7 was the debut of Bass and Treble, the battle robots made to counter Megaman, a robot originally not meant for battle who volunteered to save the populace from Wily's schemes. While Rock's strength has been shown and proven time and again, by design he wasn't meant for combat. Bass and Treble were, and seeing how strong they were likely gave Megaman another viable reason to end Wily's life. If Wily made more Robot Masters like them, not only would more people die, but eventually Megaman himself would be overwhelmed and destroyed by them, leaving the world without a protector against Wily.
Judge Eternus No 0th law is even required, just a programming of the laws that is far-sighted enough to take the effect of future events into. That is to say, if taking an action (aka, killing Wily) will cause harm to a human, but NOT taking an action (aka, NOT killing Wily) will cause more total harm, then the greatest net benefit to human life is to shoot the bastard in the head and the robot would actually be incapable of not killing Wily.
It was my favorite because I got it for Christmas when I was like three or four. And looking back through the series now, it's still my favorite for a variety of reasons that aren't all nostalgia-based. It also introduced Mega Man's iconic slide maneuver, the thing that made him a unique platforming character and gave him interersting stage design options and CAPCOM WHY DID YOU TAKE THAT AWAY?
I think that is a poor reason to have it as your favorite. You can pick whichever one you want, but I would make a choice like that based almost exclusively on gameplay.
Ok so I just came here from the aforementioned other theory about Mega Man and I must admit he doesn’t contradict himself. There is more than enough blame to go around.Maybe that’s why in the end humanity is extinct and deserves to be.
You still learn about robot ethics at least. The point of this show is to teach and learn, not about bringing surprises about video games to your screen.
By using that logic Alfred Noble is responsible for every time TNT was used kill or destroy something. The problem with that argument (and lets be real here it's a stupid one) is that it takes responsibility away from the the person who used the items for those purposes. If I were to write a book and someone took it an beat someone to death with it does that me me responsible for the murder? No it doesn't. Just because someone makes something it doesn't mean that they are responsible for the actions it was used for. The only person responsible is the person who committed the act, not the person who created the object. And before someone tries to argue the gun thing, just remember that in that case, no the creator isn't responsible. It was created to kill, yes, but you have to wonder if the creator wanted to make it in the first place. Even if he did, that doesn't mean that ultimately it's his fault. It's the fault of the people who use that thing. Nothing more, nothing less.
I completely agree, and it brings up the points about why its wrong to accuse video games when someone who played them becomes violent. The game didn't do it, the person did because they were nuts. Anything can be called a weapon and even used as one, but that does not make it so. It makes the one who used it wrongly guilty.
But there's a little bit of difference. Noble didn't make every TNT stick in existence, he created the principal and the recipe to make them. Also, the argument here is not wether or not these robots can kill (let's be honest, anything can kill a human, even a piece of paper) but rather his irresponsability in creating machines with autonomy and his complete disregard for the Asimov's laws. They exist because creating AI is close to creating life, except without the process of experiencing life and learning right from wrong. Our years of living made us who we are and thus, we can judge right from wrong (in theory, some don't really do that). But a machine like Rock man has the body and autonomy of an adult, but the knowledge and experience of a child, being easily manipulated. Had Light incorporated Asimov's laws into their programming, none of this would have happened, since they would refuse Willy's order to follow him and be reprogrammed to fight humans. And I agree with the gun thing, but remember: tools might be created to serve specific purposes, but just because a chair is for sitting doesn't mean I can't beat you in the head.
It´s one case if the object can be used by other humans for those purposes. But those robots carry the danger of free will themselfes and don´t rely on other humans. And Light programmed this specifically. Scientists are maybe not responsible for the knowledge they produce, because that can be used by anyone, but in my opinion they ARE responsible for the objects they produced themself. Light gave those created things out of his own control on his own will and thus allowed the robots to do their own things. It´s a thin line, but responsibility is not a objective matter anyhow. Another matter is of course the sole creation of LIVE, if you want to call the robots alive.
see the problem with your analogies is that all of them only include things that don't have free will. It is like saying that if you raise a child, teach them so that they only know how to use tnt, give them an unlimited supply of tnt, tell them that they're only to blow up rocks with it, then they go on a massacre and you aren't responsible for it in any way whatsoever. Even though you were the one that gave a being of free will only the information to blow stuff up and then let them just go wherever they wanted. Also, of course Alfred Noble isn't responsible for tnt being used to kill, he made the knowledge to make the tnt, it is the person that made each piece of tnt that the responsibility falls on. Lastly, of course the creator of the weapon holds some responsibility, if you are going to make something that kills, you have to live the rest of your life that knowing that something that you have made has or is going to take a life.
Yes, but these robots aren't books, it's more like you make a book with guns on it and someone shoot someone with it, then it's a mistake and not your fault, but after that you don't take any responsability and makes more books with guns on it. THIS makes you guilty. And it is what light did, but with robots.
Joshua G As Tek War said, IRobot was based off of Isaac Asimov's book, while the movie was essentially an action flick, the book was a dive into the psychology of our potential mechanized friends :P
Garth S Don't forget Garth! It was also a book on how to confuse the hell out of middle schoolers who weren't informed that it was a collection of short stories! Seriously...try reading it as one continuous story, fucks with your head so bad :( RIP 7th grade me's brain.
The reason I will never take a single one of your videos seriously is due to the fact that you either do very poor research on the topics you cover, or you purposefully omit information just to try to strengthen your point. You ignored the fact that the robots created by Light, are designed for specific jobs, mind you not all of them are common ones, but they all had a reason they were built, so people should have to worry about a robot designed to cut and wield in a construction environment, only as much a human that decides to go on a rampage with construction tools or vehicles. Also if memory serves, Wily actually did create, not reprogram, his own robots in several of the games. Also, you failed to mention that Wily created something known as the Roboenza virus which causes robots to become incredibly violent, and lose all ambition of whether or not they kill humans. I can appreciate that you try to look at things from a different perspective, devil's advocate, all that jazz. It's just when you do such a sorry job with the actual facts, I lose all respect for what you're try to doing.
He created the robots of the second game and many robots after the second game are created by different people. There is a Russian doctor in either the 3rd or 4th game that was omitted, and robots created around the world for the 5th or 6th game.

There's few small flaws in your theory, Matt.
1. Dr. Wily is hardly an idiot when it comes to robotics. You make it sound like all he can do is sit back and beg robots to pretty please join him. If that were the case the stages and his fortresses would be empty, and he'd come at you on a bicycle.
2. You made it sound like Dr. Light made all the robot Masters. He only made the first and ninth Batch of Robot Masters himself. Has I recall, the second, fifth and Seventh batches were all made from the ground up by Wily. The third was made by Light and Wily together. The fourth batch was made by Dr. Cossack. The sixth were made by robotic engineers from all over the world and entered in a global competition. The eighth also came from all sorts of different places, such as Clown Man's being an old amusement park attraction, though I don't believe their creators are ever credited none of them were Thomas Light, I'm pretty such.
3. LIGHT'S ROBOT'S CAN'T KILL PEOPLE.
Dr. Wily reprograms them and erases the program that prevents them from doing so. Yes this includes Mega Man. That's probably why he's talking so slow he's, trying to go against his programing, and probably wouldn't have been able to. Remember that scene in Robocop, when he tries to kill Dick Jones? Yeah he was a real prick too. But Robocop could not break his programing, and that dude had a Human Brain! It was like that. Mega can point the Buster and threaten. But that's about it. As advance as Mega Man's A.I. was, able to make some choices for himself he was still a slave to his programing.
That's what makes X so special. Dr. Light wanted him to be a real person, he wanted a son. So he made something more than a robot, something with complete free will, capable of random thoughts and actions, true autonomy. An absolute variable, hence the name "X". And though he did it begrudgingly, that included the ability to kill people. He knew he had to have that choice for his actions and decisions to have any meaning.
If what you're saying is true, then X's existence is pointless because Dr. Light's been pumping these out since day one.
Don't forget that Wily also created Bass, King, and Zero. Three some of the most powerful robots of their respected eras. I strongly do not believe MatPat played MegaMan. All of his information is wrong.
Dr. Light did not let ProtoMan walk away. ProtoMan refused to allow Light to repair him and ran away. Light actually looked for him and believed he was dead. Protoman still refuses to be fixed............
Why does this video have so many likes with all of this false info?
Awesome Card Games
Because Matt impresses people with deep philosophies, scientific theorems and internet memes...
Not saying he doesn't pour a lot of thought and work into these videos. Or that they can't be interesting, funny, entertaining, or thought provoking, heck they usually are. But damn, Dude. Stop trying to shove square shaped theories into circle shaped games, just because they're nostalgic, and you're trying to blow our minds.
Megaman might not be able to kill humans, but he is able to kill them if they are actually ALIENS! Yeah, it was still a robot, but he didn't know that at the time.
***** Talk about kissing someone's butt. You're lying just like Mat. He did not prove that he played MegaMan. He did the opposite by providing incorrect information throughout the entire video. I have played every MegaMan game from every series. Any fan like myself knows Mat is a liar because his information is just so wrong.
Dr. Light did not let ProtoMan run away. ProtoMan does not want to be fixed, and ran away on his own freewill.
Everything makes perfect sense? You're full of it. Providing FALSE information is NOT perfect sense.

YEAAAAAHHHHHHH
+The Unleashed (Vaderzlk11) piemations reference my man
The Japanese version of Mega Man 7 has Mega Man stop charging his buster after Wily reminds him that he cannot harm humans; which effects this theory significantly, as it suggests Mega Man's immunity to the three laws of Robotics was added in the English version. The stuff with the Mega Man 9 robots still applies, however, but keep in mind that Dr. Wily also modifies them to better suit his needs. The Mega Man X series establishes that the first completely autonomous robot was Mega Man X, establishing that all previous robots at least had some limitation on their autonomy, like the Three Laws (this is why Proto Man is not considered a Reploid like the robots in Mega Man X are).
I think the more free will developing for mega man holds up even with that. He's shown gradual changes unlike other robots towards free will, if he had to stick to the three rules he would have never threatened in the first place. Being reminded stopping him still shows some sort of conscience and conflict. It really fits with his gradual growing "soul" and possible origin of X in him. X has been conflicted many times with his will, but thats something else. 8 also pokes at it during the ending, as things couldn't affect him if he lacked some sort of free will.
Personally I think his true free will came about after 8. Dr light had many chances to use data from Duo, not to mention Duo's power used on megaman. 8 also kinda shows the possible origin of the zero virus but the games never go into TOO much story detail, so its mostly a theory. A GAME THEORY OH NO!
Also: Megaman killing wily DOES NOT interfere with the laws of robotics. Theres is a 0th law: A robot may not harm humanity, or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm. Wily, although human, was a danger to humanity, and if Megaman didn't apprehend or in this case, kill Wily, that would be in violation of the 0th law.
In a nutshell, "I'm more than a Robot. Die Wily" is not cannon.
Actually they made him go through a feedback loop on the first and third law. Which actually makes the classic robots more tragic.

The scene where Megaman decides to kill Wily actually is covered under Asimov's laws, because there's an unwritten "zeroth" law, which supersedes all the others. "A robot may not harm HUMANITY, or through inaction allow HUMANITY to come to harm." If by killing one man a robot saves many lives, then the robot is not just ALLOWED to do so, it MUST do so. This is a dilemma Asimov himself addressed. So, it's actually possible that Megaman was following the laws of robotics. By killing Wily Megaman could save countless lives, so under the zeroth law he actually is required to kill the man. He's just following his programming.
And besides, that scene in the American version is non-canon.
Yup everything checks out.

The Hollow Knight: (me fixing game theory’s theory) fire man was built to break down waste, and bomb man was built to demolish buildings. Not to mention at the convention where dr Lalilind (butchered it) and light argued and the emerald spears attacked, elec man was unable to attack the terrorists until they harmed the civilians. My point, that the robots follow the law of robotics, and what game theory said completely back fired on himself.
@@lunarman16 But that doesn't follow the 1st law of robotics. It says that a robot may not injure a human being or, through INACTION, allow a human being to come to harm. Their inaction would have violated the 1st law. So they may not have the laws programed in
Catman-du who’s inaction? Mega man couldn’t do anything but get the civilians to safety. But when one of the emerald spears used the bombs , they were allowed to stop them by force.
Lunarman Animations and technically it wasnt even by force. It was more of misleading and trapping them
@@lunarman16 Aren't the Archie Comics non-canon?
You're forgetting what I call "Asimov's Loophole": killing the few villains to protect the many innocents. I Robot had this loophole as the major plot point, resulting in the AI gone awry being able to justify EVERY SINGLE ACTION on the Three Laws, without any error in logic!
I was about to say this, glad someone was ahead of me
DarkAngelEU
thank goodness for paradoxes :D yay robots exploding heads :D
Not only that is an option, as there's also the consideration of there ever being an equivalent to Asimov in the Megaman World. Supposing Light is really a brilliant mind on a breakthrough, he could've come years before there was even someone to theorise robot ethics.
why would no one theorise robot ethics if there are robots? We analyze EVERYTHING that comes into existence
DarkAngelEU we don't really know the time spam of the series. But I'm guessing, surely, at most a couple of years later, they sure would come up with ethics after the incidents
There is a really good video about Megaman released from Capcom called the Day of Sigma which shows the implementation and development of Megaman.
Yeah Protoman just escaping was pretty damn funny. Ehh F@#$ it, I'll jusst build more LOL.

Megaman's true villain is capcom
Hmm, they did create the MegaMan games ERGO they created all of the continuous conflict in the Mega Man series ERGO they are the true villains for making these games where robots in that universe terrorize humans.
But wait, they recently are not making the games ERGO dissolving all the problems that have and will happen ERGO helping Mega Man in his quest for peace with the lack of robot attacks ERGO making them the good guys for putting an end to the cycle of destruction Mega Man has to prevent daily.
And then the fans complain to Capcom about not making a new Mega Man game ERGO wanting another robot rampage to occur in the world of Mega Man ERGO not helping in the robot's cause for maintaining peace and happiness ERGO making them the bad guys for wanting more chaos for their entertainment value.
Hmm, I don't know man; it's seems like us MM fans are the true villains here while Capcom are trying to atone for their deeds of putting Mega Man through endless cycle of violence in his games.
BigK13372 are you being serious or you just kidding around
Kind of both really.
In terms of true villains and your joke about Capcom; the irony was not lost on me that while the fans really love the character, we also demand another game where Megaman has to risk his life to end yet another robot rampage that created untold amounts property damage, injuries and deaths in order to maintain a momentary peace only for the next game to repeat the same thing.
It's like Last Action Hero: it is cool to see Jack Ryan go on these awesome adventures and kick some ass, until you realize he never really enjoys them due to how much it ruins his personal life.
BigK13372 you make a valid point but in terms of reality i am being serious about capcom being megaman's true villan mainly how they us false hopes of a new megaman game as well as make him look retarted in sfxtk

Someone didn't pay attention to the laws of roboethics when creating Aperture Laboratories...
And that someone was Cave Johnson
Though, it's somewhat debatable whether the same rules apply to brain uploading, yes, Aperture failed hard.
Mr. Kirby that actually has nothing to do with roboethics, "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely"
try uploading a human mind into a computer with as much power as Glados without corrupting them, you will fail miserably

+Øystein Stautland Nordtømme right on
I disagree
If I remembered correctly, the robots were not created with weapons.
They had tools, but are later modified by Wily and turned into weapon grade arsenals. Almost all of the robots were industrial robots, except for Rock, Roll, and Zero. The fact that Wily mentioned that robots cannot harm humans, it means Light must have already had safety protocols similar to Asimov's laws in those other robots, except for Megaman who were meant to be as human as possible.
Megaman's statement is actually an assertion of his ability to be able to judge what is right and wrong. Meaning he is not a slave to humanity, but as equals.
BTW Asimov's laws are not air tight because a robot cannot judge what is considered harm or injury without very specific parameter. In fact the first law is the problem, because while it prevents a robot rebellion, it will make the robot non-functional quite often, which will be explained below.
Okay, let's say I am in a mall with a gun pointed at my head by a lunatic who is about to shoot me. The first law dictates that the robots in the vicinity must help me, but the first law also stated that harming the guy holding a gun to my head is not allowed.
Now a normal person with freewill will assess the situation and make a decision. Which decision or whether it is a good decision or not, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that a person with freewill can look at the other decision and say "screw it". However, a robot cannot do such things because it has no freewill due to Asimov's law.
Lastly, the example about the autonomous turret. Is that suppose to be horrifying because the turret has freewill, or is it horrifying that it has the ability to kill without human pulling the trigger? Yet, the turret have no freewill and is following programming set by humans, essentially an obedient slave. Freewill is not the issue with that turret, it is how horrifying human beings can be when we act in fear that is the problem. The turret is only doing what we told it to do, and we did not give it freewill to question the orders.
Freewill can be good or bad, and if we deem robots as loyal servants, then we first must question ourselves because we are the ones with the freewill to do so, not the robots.
***** Because is RUclips, so i can't tell if you're being sarcastica or not
This part of megaman saying he is more then a robot is changed on the original he stops once willy mentions the laws of robotics

It's still not Lights fault. His robots Do follow the laws of robotics but Wily _reprogrammed_ them.
It would only make sense for him remove the laws if he wanted to use them as weapons.
Willy creates and hacks Robots to kill people
Mega Man wants to kill Willy because he is destroying the world...
Conclusion: Dr. Light is the villain.
remember when he blackmailed some random russian guy and kidnapped his daughter?
Totti AG! But you didn’t include matpats theory of doctor light being guilty
Willy didnt create the robots...?
Zash Gekido he created three quarters of the robot masters
IDK: IDC
Fun video, and an interesting little hypothesis. However, there are some problems with it:
1: Dr Light did NOT create all the Robot Masters in each game. Dr Wily created the ones in Mega Man 2, 5, 7, and 8, Dr Cossack created the ones in 4, and several scientists were the creators of the robots in Mega Man 6. Since so many of these robots were made by other people, you can't say that it was all Dr Light's fault that they went on a rampage. And keep in mind, Wily created many of these himself, making him share even more of the responsibility.
2: It is heavily suggested by the overall plot that the type of autonomy Mega Man possesses is unique to him. Notice in the very scene that you use to prove your argument, Wily is shocked that Mega Man is able to decide for himself to blast him.. and this is in Mega Man 7, meaning that a whole lot of time has passed with Wily and Light messing around with robotics. If autonomy was something that all these robots had, why then is Wily surprised that Mega Man was able to make the decision he made? Even more, consider also that the ones in Mega Man 9 were going to accept their fates, and only went with Wily because he promised to fix them so they could keep on doing their intended purposes (by the way, note that many of these Masters are actually re-purposed utility/worker robots, only sticking with the jobs assigned and programed to them. What's more, the decision making abilities they have were specific to their job set and for commanding other less advanced robots for the projects they were made for - Guts Man, a construction robot, commanding a bunch of less advanced construction bots such as the mets - ; that's why they are called Robot Masters, actually. If they had the full autonomy Mega Man has, couldn't they have decided to do some other work, or be able to go against their programing?). They did NOT chose to go on a rampage, that only happened after he reprogrammed them. So if the autonomy that Mega Man possesses is unique to him, or at the very least is something that only a few of the robots have (such as Proto Man, Roll, and Bass), then that pretty much deflates the argument that all these rampages are Dr Light's fault because of all these robots having autonomy.
Another point, though it's not really theory busting: Dr Light didn't actually just let Proto Man run off and not care about pursuing him. When Proto Man escaped, he was considered destroyed, thus there was no attempt to get him back. Dr wily later found and repaired him; that's how he was able to figure out how to reprogram the robots Dr Light made.
So yeah, nice hypothesis, but it doesn't really hold up when one recalls the overall plot of the games. Still was a fun video though, and I like the other Game Theorists videos, so no biggie. :p
none of his theories ever hold up, i don't get why people watch this garbage, and before people point out the obvious, yes I'm watching this because it's my first time watching his videos, but this is the third video i've watched and it's clear he has no clue what he's talking about on anything he covers.
***** Actually, to be fair, a theory is actually a fact, or as close to a fact as we can get, at least if we are talking about the strict definition of the word. This is why I called what he suggested a hypothesis. A hypothesis is something like an educated guess with some support for it (very simplistic definition, I know). A theory is a hypothesis that's been tested over and over to see if it holds up to scrutiny. Most people use the word theory, but actually mean hypothesis, or even just a guess.
Anyway, just wanted to clear that up, though I do have to state again that I actually like these videos, even if they aren't always correct. They're interesting, and they're fun to watch. Plus, it's just fun to speculate about all these stories and background stuff in video games. We don't always have to be right when it comes to fun speculation, it just has to make some sort of sense.
Swordsage Sorry for not replying to your post but I just wanted to say.. Didn't expect you here! Only expected seeing you on Skalla's, Lindy's and Matt's/Schola's channel.
Ahoy!
Swordsage Well in Mega Man 3, Wily and Light both created the robot masters in that game (with the exception of Shadow Man).
Erik Dillon
True, though I don't dispute that in my post. Also, keep in mind that (as you yourself just pointed out) Wily also helped make the Robot Master's in 3, so again, you can't really say it's all Light's fault. Even if we were to decide that somehow, because Light had a hand in creating those robots, it is his fault, that's just one game, not the whole run of the series. So the hypothesis here still doesn't hold up.
Lmao looking at this after game theory’s most recent video is weird
LanieMae hehe I know
Same, but then again you could combine his new theory with this in order to explain his motive.
edit: I made this comment while in the middle of the theory but after finishing it, I realized that actually still does work with the other theory
Errordog Lebowitz a 3000 year plan
@@Chronosmaster002 Ok, so? How does have to do with what I am talking about?
It still holds up, it didn't really say Dr Willy was good, just that it's Dr Light's fault for giving the robots free will and ignoring the three laws of robotics.
One huge flaw: Light never ignored the law. The only reason Protoman can think for himself is due to an error in his system (same reason he ran away too.)
Megaman 1's robot masters were built to obay humans and were made as utility robots and had their weapons (And likely robot ethics) modified by Dr. Wily for evil, they originally did nothing dangerous at all.
Anyone who's ever watched I, Robot knows there's a giant loophole in the 3 laws of robotics. A loophole so massive it's potentially dangerous
What?

On the japanese version, he only stays in silence: (..........) after Wily says that robots cannot harm humans.
and so his entire argument falls apart

Not really since Game Theory gets a lot factually incorrect but sure
Smash Brothers still beats out both.
OBJECTION!
Game Theory, I realize this is merely an entertaining video, but your basis of information is the anomaly that is the English ending of Megaman 7 that most fans don't consider canon because Megaman acts out of character, and it also is different from the original Japanese ending.
Before 7's ending and after it, it's repeatedly stated that Megaman is a pacifist FORCED to fight, and yes, clearly bound by the rules of robotics if you look at all the actions he did in every other Megaman classic title.
Megaman only wanted to kill Wily in the English version of the game - something added by Capcom USA, not the original creators.
In the original Japanese version, he merely threatens Wily, and then when Dr. Wily reminds him that robots cannot harm humans, he lowers his buster and stands down, rather than saying that he's "more than a robot", like in the English version.
It's sort of ridiculous to count edits made by a localization team as canon, especially when the original creators never agreed to the changes. Keiji Inafune has stated he was personally displeased with the ending of 7, and even the original threat against Wily was not his doing.
I agree with this comment, however you missed the perfect chance to yell out OBJECTION!!!
I'm guessing that's true, 'cause I don't wanna play Scooby-Doo and scour the internet for the truth about Mega Mans. But I have to say, I really like Capcom USA's ending. It puts and interesting and dark spin on a character that everybody knows as a cookie-cutter good guy. And raises interesting questions, allowing for fun theories like the one in this video. And who says the Japanese way is the right way, anyhow? All of the Mega Man games and cartoons he referenced in the video were American/English adaptations. Maybe he wasn't talking about the Japanese Mega Man. Maybe Rockman and Mega Man are two wholly different ideas because of this. Woah. I was about to divide by zero there. Sorry.
Cameron McClain OBJECTION!!! you're basis of information is the anomaly that is the English ending of Megaman 7 that most fans don't consider canon because Megaman acts out of character, and it also is different from the original Japanese ending. (fixed :D)
According to the wiki, the Japanese ending did make mention of the rules of robotics, so we've at least established their existence. So that's that.
Also, (although not as clear-cut as the 7 English ending) Protoman broke rule 3 by escaping, as he disregarded his creator's will to repair him in order to "survive" (as he believed). And at the same time, Megaman volunteers to a course of action that would weaponize him, which to me seems like a breach of rule 1.
What I'm getting at is this: Although the (non-cannon) ending of 7 made a very clear case of the rules being established and disregarded, there's arguably proof in the cannon that the rules exist, and at least Proto and Mega can bend them.
Besides, the company's objection was how lousily the character was represented, no breach of cannon ;)

Cock
I need to see them fight. I feel like Astroboy would win cause of flight, and better intellect? They're probably the same as far as intelligence.
I would think they're evenly matched. Yes, Megaman can copy abilities, but to obtain Astroboy's abilities, Megaman would have to knock him out. Also remember Megaman can only use one ability at a time.
Which ability of Astro's would Megaman take though? The ability to fly, maybe?
Also, I thought maybe they would be on the same side, but then I realised they'd probably come to a head simply because Megaman fights against bad robots, whereas Astroboy fights for peace between humans and robots, especially robot rights.

ElliottFox exactly
Blue Boy 70 Well he is not
This theory is so flawed and outdated that it could make the "Ness is Sans" theory blush.
Buuuut Light only made Proto, Rock, Roll, and the original 6/8 masters (depends on if you believe powered up is canon). Also, X was the first robot with free will (and I guess zero as well), so these robots still had the laws of robotics at the time. Dr. Light in fact tried really hard to make sure X had a conscience by storing him for 30 years (and stayed for 70 more)
Light also made the 8 robot masters of MM9.
Doctor Light built..
Mega Man 1 robot masters
Mega man 3 robot masters are built by Doctor Light and Doctor Wily
Mega Man 9 robot masters are built by Doctor Light
so yeah
(Shadow man doesn't count,if you saw the archie)
Even in the canon of the games, Shadow man isn't by the docs.
Here's a couple of reasons why this video is wrong:
1. Dr. Willy is clearly the bad guy, but bot because of the whole German stereotype bullshit, but because he legitimately wants to take over the world.
2. Megaman wanted to be a combat robot, but he was programed with the rules of robotics in mind (don't hurt people). You hear Dr. Light say "Fight for everlasting peace."
3. what do Korean turrets have to do with anything its fucking megaman
4. Megaman is a series from the 80's, and games from that time were marketed towards kids. Although stuff got dark like in Megaman X, it's still Megaman. A robot boy off to save the world from an evil scientist.
Wily is obviously the villain, but if it wasn't for Light he couldn't. Light basically put a gun in the hands of a serial killer.
In the beginning of the video, Megaman flat out tries to MURDER Wily.
But hey, it's just game theory, The show where you take a lighthearted game and turn it into a moral dilemma.
Siddiq Ismail
Yes, Megaman did try to murder Wily. After 7 games worth of robots destroying the city and endangering lives,
he probably felt it best to end the problem at its source. Acting in the best interest of the world. It's still a dangerous first step, but can you honestly say if you were in his position you wouldn't felt the same way / acted the same way?
Also I call bull on this all being Lights fault. Wily and Light built the first 6 robot masters for practical uses.
Ice Man - Refrigeration
Guts Man - Construction
Bomb Man - Demolition
etc...
Wily went all evil and reprogrammed them. Wily built the robot masters after that point and they were all programmed to further his goal of conquest. Sorry, that isn't Light's fault.
Robert Berry Good points.
Robert Berry You left out a critical point that invalidates this theory: Megaman NEVER states he is more than a robot in the Japanese script. He tries to eliminate Wily, but is reminded he is bound by the laws of robotics, then stops and remains silent.
Ah. See, I never played it in Japanese. Because I can't read Japanese. I based my argument off of the English translation, because that's the one I played as well as the version mentioned in the video. But I'll take your word for it. I'll continue to wave the brown flag of bullcrap, though, because I still don't think any of this is Dr. Light's fault.
Except that the only Robot Masters built by Dr. Light were the ones in 1, joint built with a "reformed' Wily in 3, and 9. The only other person who wasn't wily who built any Robot Masters was Dr. Cossack in MM4....The Robot Masters in 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 are all Wily's doing.
But like Matpat said, It all falls back to Dr.Light.
He inspired people like Dr.Cossack and Dr.Wily to do these things.
Heck, in Mega Man X, Dr.Light even inspired Dr.Cain to build the Repliods that would soon become Mavericks!
Scott .F That's not the point I was trying to make. Matpat said that Light created the robots, not Wily.
Just Another Person Who Claims To Be Rainbow Dash 2nd longest name I have seen on RUclips,
But I/m not really aware of most of the Lore of Mega Man X
***** also in Mega Man 2.
All robot Masters are built by Wily same for 7 and maybe 8
Scott .F Erm. You're just repeating what I said. All the robot masters in 2, 5, 7, 8 and 10(?) were built by wily and wily alone. In 1 they were reprogrammed Doctor Light robots, in 3, a "Reformed" Wily worked with Doctor Light to build both the robot masters and the final giant robot Gamma. In Mega Man 4, Wily held Doctor Cossacks' daughter hostage and forced him to build robots to beat mega man. In Mega Man 9, Wily used his wits to corral Other Doctor Light made robots into helping him due to their expiration date. Well..with the exception of Mega Man 6, those were stolen by Wily, made by unknown scientists and then modified by Wily under the guise of Mr. X

Hey matpat I love game theory and film theory
1:49 *OBJECTION!*
That moment was included for the American audience, not the original Japanese version. It is not a constant.
I feel like this show has become less like "Game Theory" and more like "Game Plot Twist" or maybe even "Guess what cause everthing you know about a videogame was WRONG: The Show". Not that its a bad thing or anything.
I think a more important question is whether it is ethical to impose absolute laws on beings of similar cognitive capability as Humans.
I suppose the question to ask is: Would we program those three laws into humans if we could? In regards to other humans and not robots of course.
Humans enforce laws and nurture one another to be as good and kind to one another as possible, but is this the way it was supposed to be or is this a consolation for not being able to go one step further? If you could guarantee safety by restricting human freedom to commit violent acts, would you?
True true, though it might be better to avoid building robots all together or at least give them code that might put human life as something important, or life in general as something important. In the end, if we decide to create true A.I. we need to think about what we're doing, creating even, and what we need to do to prevent damage to life on Earth as a whole.
We can't program robots as humans, because human minds are erratic, we think and feel, and both of them can interfere with each other. An A.I. programed as a human will eventually learn to feel, restarting the cycle, making imperfect beings, making artificial life, and will learn how to make more (Terminator somewhere?). Robotics is a dangerous root of science, simple robots are useful, but a small mistake on A.I. improvement, and the worst nightmare of movies can become true.
MisterProfessor Some might. I consider such unethical. Laws should never be absolute, because our morality largely isn't, and shouldn't be drawn from law. Similarly, there are no rules without exceptions.
I also disagree with you that kindness and goodness are the goals of law, or the results of how we nurture each other. Law serves to protect society, and it's members, and the results of social interaction are highly variable.
I wouldn't, and if anyone tried to do so, I would happily kill them should I find myself able to. Tyranny, regardless of intentions, is unacceptable.
Blue & Company "true A.I."? I feel as if I have to object with the "made by Humans" definition of artificial, as I feel artificial is more identified with "fake".

If Mega Man were to cry, would he short circuit himself?
maybe xD or he's water proof :P
wait, are you saying Megaman is Pac-Man? (Power Pellets) o.O

I understand you were being silly with the German Stereotypes, but the picture you displayed as Wiener Schnitzel is not it, even though I know the joke is because it name sounds like "wiener". Wiener Schnitzel is a very thin breaded piece of veal, or pork, it is sometimes served with Wurst, which is a "wiener." If I offend anyone by pointing that out, I'm sorry. I just wanted to point information out, and I do understand MatPat was just making a joke.
Also: Ich bin nicht beleidigt
Artemis7941 are you really offended?
No, it doesn't offend me. I just wanted to point out what Wiener Schnitzel really was. Also, my comment on the post translates to "I am not offended"
Artemis7941 ewe
Also, the Wiener in Wiener Snitzel is actually from the Austrian city of Vienna. In other words when you are asking for a Wiener Snitzel you're basically asking for "breaded lamb meat from Vienna".
1:24 Here's a German sentence: Aua Das tut weh. (Ouch that hurt)
All i knew was das aua and tut but knew what it meant
Normally, I'm inclined to think at length on these topics, especially since such a good case is put forth. However, I can't agree at all on this theory. What's being argued here is purely semantics. Dr. Light created a series of androids with autonomy, but NOT, as was stated, without ethical programming. Rock and Blues were experimental exceptions to this as Light wanted to see how a robot without a specific purpose would adapt to human life. Blues chose to "escape" and find his own path whereas Rock acted more like a child would and chose to see Light as a father and act that way. Both, though, exhibited strong ethical tendencies (Blues, though rebellious, usually did the right thing even so far as to end up being a major ally to Megaman in his fight against Wily). The incident at the end of MM7 was the case of Megaman finally being pushed too far and acting like an angry teenager. In summary, Light built some robots who's "purpose" was to be human.
Now, had you said that Light was responsible for the Reploid uprisings in the X series, then I would be more inclined to believe it. Dr. Light did build X with the full intention of him being absolutely free willed. Dr.Cain, having found X some years later in stasis then used X as a template to create the Reploids and, ultimately, Sigma. And we all know what happened with Sigma there. Though, it could be argued that Wily was just as much at fault when he created Zero as a means to infect all other robots with a virus that caused a sort of induced robot madness and eventually infecting Sigma as well.
But, really, this is all just like blaming the person who invented the spear for every war ever fought and the deaths that have occurred because of it.
I didn't like how he grabbed the entirely free will of Proto Man and Mega Man then applied that to every other Robot Master out there, implying they all have the ability to kill humans which none of them ever even considered.
Also the fact that Mega Man and Proto Man both had human-like ethics, pretty much means Dr. Light created...basically humans. Sure they're stronger than a normal human, but put some body armor on a guy and give him a gun and you essentially have Mega Man. So really, if because of what happened in MM7 makes Dr. Light a bad person for creating something with the potential to kill human beings, then does that mean this video is implying all parents, mothers and fathers, are bad people for also creating something with the potential to kill human beings?
Nothing in this video surprised me, I knew you were going to talk about Dr. Light from the start. Better luck next time Mat.
I did too. Especially because he showed a silhouette of Dr. Light with a ? on it at the start.
I'll abstain this vote, and stick with Mega Man Legends as the obvious best choice. :)
"rule 34 no exceptions" man, game theory used to have an edgy side
That’s not edgy
Counterpoint: Manufacturing a sharp knife does not make you responsible for someone stabbing someone else. Wily's fault.
Making a robot that has free will and weapons attached to him AND has no reason not to kill humans, and then having another guy manipulate the robots to join his side, who's responsible for the deaths?
Rahzel Dazzle
the robots werent killing anybody until they joined his side, so its Wily's fault. Humans have free will, can buy and make weapons, and have no reason not to kill humans. You dont blame a murderers mother for giving birth to him.
Angus Khan yeah, but humans are usually raised to stay away from killing, and robots are much better at killing than humans. Also, yeah they weren't killing anyone( I think, I haven't played mega man ) but that's because they had no reason to. Besides, when they joined wily, they KNEW they were going to harm humans and were okay with that as long as they get to "live" past their expiration date.
Rahzel Dazzle
which still makes it Wily's fault... no matter how dumb it is to make free will robots, it will never not be wily's fault. And making a statement like "wily is innocent" like in the thumbnail is silly.
He has a point, you know.
Once you decided to go and use the well-known, purposeful mistranslation of MM7's ending to support your views this video became nonsense. Originally, Rock wanted to kill Wily, but couldn't due to his programming. Dr. Light gave Rock free will except when it regards the three laws you listed. This is very apparent when it comes to direct translations of the games.
Oh no, Dr. Light made 14 of the 78 robot masters! They had tools meant to quickly and efficiently complete work that's dangerous for humans, but could easily be used as weapons! It's his fault that these machines were tampered or fooled with for destructive purposes! He's the bad guy of the entire series, and he's the one behind all 78 robot masters getting controlled by Wily!
No. Other than Rock, Roll, Protoman, and X, Dr. Light didn't make a single robot with free will until MegaMan 9. Even then, Protoman was the only one that didn't follow the three listed laws--an oversight in his first attempt to advance robotics--and the MegaMan 9 robot masters weren't convinced to do evil acts, either. They were convinced to allow Wily to "repair" them, as he promised no nefarious intentions. They still followed the laws you listed. It was self-preservation that didn't conflict with the previous two laws.
Altogether, this video is full of misinformation and logical holes.
Wow I had no idea, thanks for the info.
DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING COMMENT IS BASED ON THE INFO PROVIDED IN THIS VIDEO
Dr. Light is not the villain. Wily is. Obviously. I see what youre saying, but Dr. Light is just a dumb ass who made a mistake. A mistake he tried to fix. He is not responsible for someone elses actions. He is responsible for creating a scenario that COULD allow such a thing to happen, but he is not responsible for it happening.
All you do in game theory anymore is just pick one of the protagonists and try to pin them as a villain. Its getting a little old, and its becoming less effective, as shown in this video. Interested to see how many more there will be of the same type
I'll just pull a page out of the game theory book real fast:
MATT IS ACTUALLY AN EVIL OVERLORD TRYING TO GET US ALL TO BELIEVE THAT PROTAGONISTS ARE ACTUALLY ANTAGONISTS.
see what I did there?
Thank you very much I was thinking something along the lines of that as well and at this point everyone needs to see your comment since I can't think of any better way to put it
Dr. Light is partially responsible for the consequences of his creations, because he did in fact, know that it could happen, by giving them autonomy. Those things wouldn't have happened if Dr. Light just stuck to the roboethics. If he had, there is no way that they could have been convinced to do something other than what they were programmed to. If they in some moment do something that they were not programmed to do, then and only then is the responsibility taken off Dr. Light. But he gave them free will, so he must take the responsibility of allowing his creations to make erroneous decisions harmful to mankind, regardless of who convinced them.
You are 100% right, sir!
(this was a reply to Angel Machado, I've not yet adapted to the new commenting system. ha)
Thats like saying a parent should take responsibility for their kids doing drugs. Sure, There is a part a parent plays in preventing that, but they cannot be held responsible for everything their children do. Are your parents responsible for everything good/bad youve done in your life?
Matpat was not kidding this one is OLD
no, in the grand scheme, Dr. Wily is still the villain, because most of the Robot Masters were built by him and thus designed them for destruction. the Robot Masters Dr. Light built were made to help humans, and in both cases where Light's robots were the enemies, Wily had reprogrammed them to serve his purposes, while only in MM9 were the robots persuaded to his side. also worth mention is that in the end to MM9, Dr. Light found new purposes for his expired robots. while Light may be partially responsible for Robot Masters going bad, most of the blame can still be placed on Wily
This video didn't say Light is evil, but that he is responsible. The title and thumbnail are mis-leading. He did say that Light had the best intentions, but simply didnt stand up to his own responsibility
ok
His robots _did_ follow the laws of robotics but Wily's reprogramming made them ignore that.
Take 9 for example. Wily offered to "fix" the Robot masters so he definitely modified them.
So who should I blame for Legends because this is their fault and all of humanity is dead in that game.
It's worse than this video implies. EVERYTHING in the Megaman, X, Zero, ZX, and Legends series, all of the mavericks, retirements, massacres, civil wars, world wars, apocalypses, etc, all of those are because Doctor Light did it AGAIN when he made X, and because Doctor Cain copied Light's work.
not all of it, x was sealed in a capsule to test his morality for 30 years before he could be released, though something went wrong and lights lab was buried for 100 years, cain (an archaeologist) copied x's design making sigma, meanwhile zero (created by wily who is carrying around wilys personality in digital form) is activated and wilys' personality (also known as the maverick virus.) When sigma shows up to fight a mysterious robot (zero) the virus transfers to sigma, which is where the megaman x series starts.
r6srider wow I played all megaman games before but didn't get the story, thanks
The anime and the owners manual give a bit more story than the actual games do, but glad to help.
r6srider
Taking everything to its logical extreme, isn't light suspicious for knowing everything that went wrong? I mean, how did he know where to put the capsules for compatible armors in bases of mavericks X was going to fight at that time? How could he predict that at the same crisis, there was a random cave that was going to be taken over by a maverick as well as in a sunken ship in the middle of nowhere? Maybe this is light trying to take responsibility for his action at the end of his life...
Man, you know tht if you apply this logic to "god", this make HIM the real Villain of our reality...
Sach966 In the video he set "true villain" of megaman.
You can say it is anything else, but the video is here.
Game theorist : Dr. Wily is a good guy!
*7 years later*
Game theorist : Dr Wily killed all humans
I want to join you to review the greatest mega man game ever - 64! I mean come in 64 is 32x2 and 2 is considered the best in the series by many so it must be 32 times more awesome...right? That's my theory...A GAME THEORY! Thanks for watc...I mean reading!
They went to RIT, where, instead of MIT, it's in Rochester!
Thank you!!
Go tigers!
Wait, if a 3D printer is technically a robot, then if a human being puts their hand on the hot filament, wouldn't that conflict with Asimov's laws?
Ronit Taleti
Well, probably there's some sort of detector or sensor of intrusions on the process, but technically speaking, Asimov's laws were created as more of a guideline for robots that could have the potential of killing a person or stuff, willingly, sort of how I, Robot plays out.
Thanks.
Throughout this video I thought about iRobot.

You fool THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE LATER MUHAHAHAHA
srry if i am mean qwq
An ethical possibility for Megaman deciding to off Wily in the seventh game could be the same as Zero being able to fight and kill Dr. Weil in Megaman Zero 4, "fighting for those he believes in" aside. Asimov's 0th Law of Robotics, which states (probably get a little of this wrong) that robots cannot through action or inaction allow harm to fall upon humanity as whole, as in if there was a threat to the entire human race. If said threat was by chance a human, and said human was intent on destroying humanity, a robot would be free to ignore laws one, two, and three in order to ensure humanity's survival. Megaman likely recognized the neverending process of Wily trying for world domination, thus countless lives being lost even if he was stopped each time, and decided that Wily's death would prevent the eventual destruction of humanity.
The events of the game would support this reading, because the property damage in populated urban areas being literally shown in Mega Man 7's intro and intro stage and intermission is unprecedented in a Mega Man game.
Exactly. And 7 was the debut of Bass and Treble, the battle robots made to counter Megaman, a robot originally not meant for battle who volunteered to save the populace from Wily's schemes. While Rock's strength has been shown and proven time and again, by design he wasn't meant for combat. Bass and Treble were, and seeing how strong they were likely gave Megaman another viable reason to end Wily's life. If Wily made more Robot Masters like them, not only would more people die, but eventually Megaman himself would be overwhelmed and destroyed by them, leaving the world without a protector against Wily.
Guys calm down. It's just a theory. A game theory!
Turtles Derp I am calm. I was simply giving my own theory to at least part of the game theory.
Judge Eternus No 0th law is even required, just a programming of the laws that is far-sighted enough to take the effect of future events into.
That is to say, if taking an action (aka, killing Wily) will cause harm to a human, but NOT taking an action (aka, NOT killing Wily) will cause more total harm, then the greatest net benefit to human life is to shoot the bastard in the head and the robot would actually be incapable of not killing Wily.
mega man 3 is my favourite because it was a game that introduced proto-man
It was my favorite because I got it for Christmas when I was like three or four. And looking back through the series now, it's still my favorite for a variety of reasons that aren't all nostalgia-based.
It also introduced Mega Man's iconic slide maneuver, the thing that made him a unique platforming character and gave him interersting stage design options and CAPCOM WHY DID YOU TAKE THAT AWAY?
I think that is a poor reason to have it as your favorite. You can pick whichever one you want, but I would make a choice like that based almost exclusively on gameplay.
mega man 2 was my first mega man game but 3 was fun the x series was my absolute favorite even though it wasn't a choice lol
Protoman is my favorite
Bryce Kellerz 995 I think of Proto like Shadow. he’s got a sweet side soemwhere
R.I.T Rochester Institute of Technology
Exactly what i was thinking.
i said the same thing
Ok so I just came here from the aforementioned other theory about Mega Man and I must admit he doesn’t contradict himself. There is more than enough blame to go around.Maybe that’s why in the end humanity is extinct and deserves to be.
The Game Theorist is the best channel on RUclips. Gosh, I love it so much.
Awww... he was going for 1 million subs back then... :3
Cyber Miner (
Before I clicked on the video, I predicted that it would be Dr. Light. These videos are getting a bit too predictable. Still entertaining though.
You still learn about robot ethics at least. The point of this show is to teach and learn, not about bringing surprises about video games to your screen.
did the giant silhouette of wily at the beginning give it away
OK its game theory why would he make a video about why Wilys is evil
FANCY BATTLEMAN What does that have to do with anything?
Well it wouldn't make a good video the game says wilys evil for reasons the game explains
Who else is just going back and just enjoying these past years
By using that logic Alfred Noble is responsible for every time TNT was used kill or destroy something. The problem with that argument (and lets be real here it's a stupid one) is that it takes responsibility away from the the person who used the items for those purposes. If I were to write a book and someone took it an beat someone to death with it does that me me responsible for the murder? No it doesn't. Just because someone makes something it doesn't mean that they are responsible for the actions it was used for. The only person responsible is the person who committed the act, not the person who created the object.
And before someone tries to argue the gun thing, just remember that in that case, no the creator isn't responsible. It was created to kill, yes, but you have to wonder if the creator wanted to make it in the first place. Even if he did, that doesn't mean that ultimately it's his fault. It's the fault of the people who use that thing. Nothing more, nothing less.
I completely agree, and it brings up the points about why its wrong to accuse video games when someone who played them becomes violent. The game didn't do it, the person did because they were nuts. Anything can be called a weapon and even used as one, but that does not make it so. It makes the one who used it wrongly guilty.
But there's a little bit of difference. Noble didn't make every TNT stick in existence, he created the principal and the recipe to make them. Also, the argument here is not wether or not these robots can kill (let's be honest, anything can kill a human, even a piece of paper) but rather his irresponsability in creating machines with autonomy and his complete disregard for the Asimov's laws. They exist because creating AI is close to creating life, except without the process of experiencing life and learning right from wrong. Our years of living made us who we are and thus, we can judge right from wrong (in theory, some don't really do that). But a machine like Rock man has the body and autonomy of an adult, but the knowledge and experience of a child, being easily manipulated. Had Light incorporated Asimov's laws into their programming, none of this would have happened, since they would refuse Willy's order to follow him and be reprogrammed to fight humans.
And I agree with the gun thing, but remember: tools might be created to serve specific purposes, but just because a chair is for sitting doesn't mean I can't beat you in the head.
It´s one case if the object can be used by other humans for those purposes. But those robots carry the danger of free will themselfes and don´t rely on other humans. And Light programmed this specifically. Scientists are maybe not responsible for the knowledge they produce, because that can be used by anyone, but in my opinion they ARE responsible for the objects they produced themself. Light gave those created things out of his own control on his own will and thus allowed the robots to do their own things. It´s a thin line, but responsibility is not a objective matter anyhow. Another matter is of course the sole creation of LIVE, if you want to call the robots alive.
see the problem with your analogies is that all of them only include things that don't have free will. It is like saying that if you raise a child, teach them so that they only know how to use tnt, give them an unlimited supply of tnt, tell them that they're only to blow up rocks with it, then they go on a massacre and you aren't responsible for it in any way whatsoever. Even though you were the one that gave a being of free will only the information to blow stuff up and then let them just go wherever they wanted. Also, of course Alfred Noble isn't responsible for tnt being used to kill, he made the knowledge to make the tnt, it is the person that made each piece of tnt that the responsibility falls on. Lastly, of course the creator of the weapon holds some responsibility, if you are going to make something that kills, you have to live the rest of your life that knowing that something that you have made has or is going to take a life.
Yes, but these robots aren't books, it's more like you make a book with guns on it and someone shoot someone with it, then it's a mistake and not your fault, but after that you don't take any responsability and makes more books with guns on it. THIS makes you guilty. And it is what light did, but with robots.
now can you do a kingdom hearts episode? lets get the ball rolling here.
I won't be watching that episode then, thank you very much^^ unless he talks about how bullsh*t the plot in DDD is.
This kinda reminds me of iRobot, this is why I don't like robots. They may go wild because they're learning.
I'm almost positive iRobot was based off of Asimov's book I, Robot.
Joshua G It was VERY loosely inspired by the book. Pretty much all it shared was the 3 laws of robotics.
Joshua G As Tek War said, IRobot was based off of Isaac Asimov's book, while the movie was essentially an action flick, the book was a dive into the psychology of our potential mechanized friends :P
Garth S Don't forget Garth! It was also a book on how to confuse the hell out of middle schoolers who weren't informed that it was a collection of short stories! Seriously...try reading it as one continuous story, fucks with your head so bad :( RIP 7th grade me's brain.
This is a bad theory. Responsibility vs accountability, you can’t blame Dr Light for decisions Wily made and that’s that.
The reason I will never take a single one of your videos seriously is due to the fact that you either do very poor research on the topics you cover, or you purposefully omit information just to try to strengthen your point. You ignored the fact that the robots created by Light, are designed for specific jobs, mind you not all of them are common ones, but they all had a reason they were built, so people should have to worry about a robot designed to cut and wield in a construction environment, only as much a human that decides to go on a rampage with construction tools or vehicles. Also if memory serves, Wily actually did create, not reprogram, his own robots in several of the games. Also, you failed to mention that Wily created something known as the Roboenza virus which causes robots to become incredibly violent, and lose all ambition of whether or not they kill humans.
I can appreciate that you try to look at things from a different perspective, devil's advocate, all that jazz. It's just when you do such a sorry job with the actual facts, I lose all respect for what you're try to doing.
He created the robots of the second game and many robots after the second game are created by different people. There is a Russian doctor in either the 3rd or 4th game that was omitted, and robots created around the world for the 5th or 6th game.
In the Japanese version of 7 megaman actually stops charging his buster when Dr. wily says that Robots can't hurt humans.
But hey, that's just a theory...
A NUMBAH theory.
