Gotta love it when the villain has the only happy song in two acts.

[yoshipopthelemur]

This album was released 10 years ago.

I checked.

Brother!
Rejoice, we are not copies of our father after all.
We can grab fate with our own hands now!"
-Liquid Ocelot

[ConnerMello]

"What was her name?"
"Doesn't matter."
Savage.

[Beowulf]

"Can you question who to blame?!"
"What was her name?!"
"Doesn't matter."
I lack the words to describe how much I love that exchange. How hollow and cheap Wiley comes across after ramping up sympathy for the victim only to express his utter disinterest in her (after he had her killed for rejecting him, no less!) the moment she doesn't fit his narrative.

[ohheckitsthatkid]

I love how it could be either:

You forget who turned this city on.
You forget who plugged this city in.

Or

You forget who turned this city on you.

Forget who plugged this city in.

[Onigirli]

"Well you forget who turned this city on - you forget who plugged this city IN"

Loved the savagery in those words

[Bewt]

"No he did not use his hands, like a smart man he used a tool BUT JUST THE SAME."

I love how Wily couldn't help but pat himself on the back, even during his framing of Tom.

[captainblood]

As someone who has never absorbed any MegaMan content in my entire life, this song is a certified banger.

[lordscorch]

you know why i love this shit?

its like "you ain't never had a friend like me" crossed with first degree murder.

[swagmessiah]

no matter how many years go by, you HAVE to come back to this

[ilitsa]

"It does not matter where you hear it from. Whether truth or lies It gets said all the same."

This in my opinion shows the pure genius in Wily's destruction of Light's reputation and name, he plays the politics to perfect levels, knowing that once something is said, regardless if it's true or not, that damage will always be done. Beautiful.

[HalfTangible]

"It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy."
-Gabriel Angelos

[atalantafugiens]

Tonight the streets are red, the lights are blue and blinding
No sign of the good doctor, but the siren's wail and whining
Tells us he'll be found!
I can almost hear the hounds

What kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl?
No, he did not use his hands; like a smart man, he used a tool-
-But just the same!
Can you question who's to blame?
(What was her name?) Doesn't matter. Now listen-
The "good doctor" has to pay!

When I say he was a monster, when I set fire to his name
It does not matter where you hear it from: whether truth or lies, it gets said all the same!
Whatever's on the table plays!

There is a flame that I've been fanning; there is a fire waiting to catch
There is a hell that has been building from the moment we first met

If there ever was a time, if there ever was a chance
To undo the things I've done and wash these bloodstains from my hands

It has passed and been forgotten
These are the paths that we must take
Cause you and I, Tom, we are men
And we can bend and we can break

If you think that you can run, if you think that you can stand
Well, you forget who turned this city on! You forget who plugged this city in!
They'll not switch it off again!
One by one, they're tuning in!

[MisterFanwank]

"There is a hell that has been building since we first met!"

I adore this line.

[fien]

Behold, the best Disney Villain Song they never had to courage or talent to make

[crimsonpotemkin]

"Whatever's on the table plays"
Is such a beautiful way to say "by any means necessary" or "I will use everything and anything I can"

[animekx]

I love how you have the shift between the western-style songs and this, something more rock/jazz to show not only the change in events but the differences in opinion between Light and Wily. Brilliant stuff.

[JeepusChrystler]

This is my favorite Disney villain song.

[Null]

After listening to this, I really can't help but admire Wily. Yeah, he's evil but also an absolute genius. This man has orchestrated everything, took control of the city by using every tool at his disposal and in the end more or less managed to achieve his dreams and came out victorious. You've gotta respect him for his endless ambition/greed at least. I hope at the end of Act 3 (if it ever comes out) he won't be just easily defeated and things will work out just fine.
