Code Lyoko/WMG: Difference between revisions

== [[Code Lyoko (Animation)|Code Lyoko]] ==

** A: Antea-XANA has a [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|GLaDOS-like]] Morality Core that malfunctions periodically to make her do various diabolical deeds.

* Franz's whereabouts during the big cliffhangers? Simple: he operated out of Sector 5 until "Revelation/The Key," in which he depleted his power to restore part of Aelita's human memories. From there, he escapes to the Internet proper, bumming energy off Windows XP users to reconstitute himself. After the [[Ten -Minute Retirement]] of Lyoko at Season 3's end, he returns to the supercomputer to secretly affect repairs on the Skidbladnir, occasionally popping up to rescue Aelita from the Digital Sea if her wings don't kick in.

C'mon, Marvel bankrolling the short-lived Code Lyoko toyline and MoonScoop producing a short-lived Fantastic Four animated series? It can't be a short-lived coincidence. Now that XANA's gone, our heroes will move to England, become the Ultimates X-Calibur team, and work in at least three [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] references a year.

== The Supercomputer has enough power to determine [[OrphanedWild Mass Guessing/WMGOther/The Ultimate Question of Life the Universe And Everything|The Ultimate Question of Life the Universe And Everything]]. ==

For starters, notice that throughout the present day of the series, Franz Hopper has never taken corporeal form. Turns out his doing so would trigger a paradox and/or causal loop that would spell [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|the end of the Multiverse as we know it]]. Thus, the Men In Black needed to ensure a [[Stable Time Loop]] by forcing him to shuffle off the mortal coil, through death or other means. Since death would throw a wrench into future events, they chose "other means" - if Franz and Aelita didn't evacuate to Lyoko of their own accord, they'd drag them into the scanners. Kidnapping Antea (and possibly turning her into XANA or a XANA-prototype as denoted above) was insurance to make sure Franz would continue his work on a virtual world derived from Project Carthage and eventually take up permanent (or at least permanently disembodied) residence in the end product.

* At least one [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Doctor]]

* [[Mega Man Battle Network (Video Game)|Dr. Tadashi Hikari]] or [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Thomas Light]], continuity depending

* A young [[Sid MeiersMeier's Alpha Centauri|Academician Prokor Zakharov]], who eventually modeled his goggles off Franz's specs and [[Rozen Maiden|Suiseiseki's eyes]]

* Actually, no. The reason for the mostly-caps thing is that the "Lyoko Font", [https://web.archive.org/web/20140612192257/http://editthis.info/Code_Wiki/Gunship Gunship], has nearly all the lower-case letters appear in uppercase, with the exception of "b" and "d".

== XANA is a prototype of the [[Sid MeiersMeier's Alpha Centauri|Hunter-Seeker Algorithm]]. ==

Formless in its structure, horrifyingly versatile in its offense, XANA's activities [[Cutscene Power to Thethe Max|fit the Hunter-Seeker's FMV to the letter]].

Yes, yet another [[Sid MeiersMeier's Alpha Centauri|SMAC-themed]] WMG, I know, but bear with [[Tropers/Andy Waltfeld|me]].

* Finally, nobody seems to agree on which set of gender pronouns to refer to XANA with, if even to use ones denoting gender at all: the show has a secure grip on referring to XANA as male, while several [[Fanon]] interpretations depict XANA as female (if not having a separate female avatar to [[Pair the Spares|ship with William]]), the [[Schematized Prop|Let's Talk Tech]] team at [[Lyoko Freak]] seems to like gender-neutral pronouns, and the games (or at least "Fall of XANA") switch between the three with reckless abandon. Solution? Reference to XANA is designed with gender fluidity in mind: much like in communicating with a Progenitor, it doesn't matter which pronouns you use or how frequently they're shuffled, as long as it's clear you're referring to the same entity the entire time. Also, it's either this or we take the [[Squick]] route like with [[Pokémon (Franchise)/WMG|Pikachu]] and [[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)/WMG|Vaarsuvius]].

* If she dies and Jeremy [[Mega Man Battle Network (Video Game)|installs her DNA into Aelita]], will it unlock her true power? Just curious.

== Jim is a [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]], and [[Code Lyoko (Animation)|Code Lyoko]] is an Alternate Universe of [[Metal Gear]]. ==

Jim has plently of [[Noodle Incident|Noodle Incidents]]s, and they both have brown hair. I imagine that Jim is really Snake in a world where Liquid died in a horrible accident, Ocelot's plan never got past "Snake Eater", and Snake really did get to stay retired. Snake himself got fat after years of enjoying himself, but fled the country and moved to France when he realized he might be tracked by <s>a-li-lo-a-li-le</s> <s>La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo</s> {{spoiler|The Patriots}}. As for Lyoko, it could be {{spoiler|1=one of the Patriots' AIs, with X.A.N.A. being Big Boss himself}}, and the MIBs in Aelita's flashback being {{spoiler|Patriots}} who wanted to kidnap Aelita so they could blackmail Franz, {{spoiler|just like they did with Olga}}.

* Taking things into Konami's expanded universe for a stretch, Franz Hopper is actually an alias for <s>Waldo Schaeffer</s> Petrovich Modnar. Which makes Aelita a [[Snatcher]] of Antea Hopper intended to keep up the [[Masquerade]] of a nuclear family. Except she accidentally became human through interaction with XANA, who happens to be an [[Boktai (Video Game)|Immortal]]. A decade later, Jeremy and pals [[Gradius|Shot The Core]] so that Aelita could spend her days in peace, playing [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|children's card games]].

The people who originally found it they also tried to materialize Aelita, but instead only succeeded in creating imperfect infant copies of her, which they adopted and named [[Opposite SexGender Clone|Jeremie]] and [[Identical Stranger|Taelia]]. At some later point one of XANA's attacks proved fatal and the decision was made to shut down the super calculator (quite possibly by Aelita herself).

Both are blonde, both are lively and chirpy, and Love acted like a cat in episodes 14 and 15 of FPC, while Odd's Lyoko avatar just happens to be a [[Catgirl|kitty-boy]]. The reason for them having different surnames was that Ayumi (Love's mother) and Odd's father were siblings, and once Ayumi married Kentarou (Love's dad), she took on his own surname.

The Aelita in Seasons 1 and 2 and the Aelita in Seasons 3 and 4 are two completely different Aelitas, because a new Aelita was created when Franz Hopper gave her memories back. As a blank slate on Lyoko, Aelita was probably closer to the definition of an artificial intelligence- or maybe simply an amnesiac. She shows marked traits- an overactive martyrdom instinct, a demure, naive personality (though this does evolve slightly due to outside sources), and, for the little time she knows about her parentage before the memory restoration, acute hatred of her father.

== Jeremy is [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi]]. ==

The night before he enrolled at Kadic, he read the original ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' book before sleeping. Then, he dreamed about Kiwi peeing on a random log, where the Chesire Cat was resting. Kiwi and the Chesire Cat then started fighting... and then Odd woke up. Hence why in Lyoko he is dressed as a purple cat with a picture of Kiwi peeing as his [[Chest Insignia]].

== Ulrich's real parents are [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Kyon and Haruhi]] ==

== Jeremie is [[EarthboundEarthBound|Jeff Andonuts]] ==

** So XANA is [[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Helios]]?

In "Code: Earth", Aelita is finally materialised onto Earth, and in "False Start" she spends some time on Earth before being forced back to Lyoko. Then in "New Order", Aelita lives on Earth with everyone else. Well, that's what the show tells us anyway. In fact, every episode in the series except for the first 24 is merely a hallucination on Jeremie's part. On that front, so is the scene in "Frontier" where he touches Aelita's fingertips. What ''really'' happened is that XANA succeeded in one of his attacks for once, killing many people in the process. The gang realised that they could not handle XANA any longer, and reluctantly shut down the supercomputer. Jeremie, distraught by the loss of his one true love, even if it did happen to be a computer program, went completely insane and began hallucinating that he had finally managed to materialise Aelita (hence "Code: Earth" and "False Start"). Everything else that happens afterwards consists of further hallucinations from Jeremie - Aelita being able to live on Earth full-time (Jeremie's biggest dream), the revelation that she's human (thus making Jeremie's love for her less 'pathetic') and everything else... ''all'' of that is imagined by Jeremie as he lies in his bed, his friends having long since abandoned him, and the episode "Echoes" represents Jeremie regaining his sanity and letting go of his delusions.

For all intents and purposes, the show paints XANA as a [[Complete Monster]], whose exact motivations remain unknown throughout the four seasons. However, a very distinct possibility is the idea is that XANA is a [[Knight Templar]] who holds a ''very'' firm belief that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]. During season one, the only way he sees of removing their bastard-ness is to eradicate them totally. However, after season two, his motivations change as he grows in power - now, he instead wants to become powerful enough to possess everyone on Earth, and manipulate them in a way that he believes will 'benefit' the rest of the planet. This explains the robots we see late in season 4 - perhaps they are designed to get rid of anyone who manages to resist XANA's possession. More importantly, it explains why possessing humans is by far XANA's favourite method of attack, despite the fact that it has failed to produce results multiple times - he wants to stay in practice for when he's finally strong enough to possess millions of people at once.
