Mega Man Zero/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* I think its mostly desperation. Remember that this was a [[Crapsack World]] at its absolute worst ''before'' Copy X started getting over the top. After a century of things going from "apocalyptic" to "are we dead yet? No? Darn." [[Serial Escalation|and further]], a society not under constant assault by mavericks, with enough food and energy to meet basic human needs for health and a small measure of comfort, a stable location enabling fortification and emotional attachment to place rather than the nomadic lifestyle a broken world full of mavericks and scarce resources necessitates, and a sense of law and order rather than the worst kind of anarchy must seem so amazingly wonderful that they can't think of any other word for it.

* It's a utopia for humans, and that's really all that matters to Copy X. Reploids are pretty much outta luck, but those living in Neo Arcadia don't care. They're Mavericks as far as they know.

* Also Remember that Copy-X wasn't the ruler of Neo Arcadia since day one, in fact, he was only ruler for 8 Years (was build by [[Child Prodigy|ciel at Age 6]], and she was [[Teen Genius|14]] by Z1) so it was the Real X the one on charge, he ruled for almost a Century, and we know he always wanted peace, so i doubt he was a opressive ruler, and even when Copy-X took his place he continued [[Bread and Circuses|Pleasing the humans]] [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|at the expenses of the reploids]] so, at least for them, it was still being a utopian society ruled by the Wise and Noble Master-X.

 

* The Omega symbol is supposedly Neo Arcadia's symbol. Now, why they adopted it is another question entirely.

* Neo Arcadia is probably the last metropolis on the planet, since it is one of the only inhabitable areas left, and is described as a human utopia.

* Maybe Weil left the lights on in Z1.

 

* It still inflicts intense heat damage.

 

[[Joker Immunity|Why didn't they just execute Weil?]]

* Given that Weil's Numbers are former ''judges'', it's heavily implied that back when he was sentenced, he had enough control of the courts to prevent execution, or some other effective punishment.

* Actually, ''Zero 3'' heavily implies that Weil's punishment was actually done outside the law (Copy X said that it wasn't done under normal regulations and unlawful), and Weil's reaction and rant indicated that his punishment also had him extremely POed at everything. Although control over the courts was correct, as a later pamphlet revealed that the Eight Gentle Judges were actually originally created by Weil.

* The fact that Dr. Weil himself says "And Humans! Look what they did to me!" indicated that the punishment that Weil received was definitely not what he wanted, so most likely this was not the result of it being a court decision.

** It could be - seeing that the courts are made from the Eight Gentle Judges, who are ''made by Weil''; it's not hard for him to manipulate them into giving him a less severe punishment. Maybe the humans went mad of that injustice and then decided to go vigilante on him, giving the immortality suit and whatnot, outside the laws.

 

{{spoiler|The second time Ragnarok was fired (a.k.a. Weil's "[[Villain Ball|warning shot]]").}} Just ''where'' did it hit?

* Two syllables: "see-elle" is correct. Think of the two letters C and L.

 

 

According to the backstory material, normally only Reploids can see Cyber-Elves. However, we do see some Humans interacting or reacting to them and know about other cases of Humans interacting with them from the backstory. Now most of these cases are explainable,(Ciel has an innate abilty that allows her to interact with them, the creator of the Mother Elf is Ciel's great-grandmother, so she probably had that abilty too, the humans of the ZX series have mechanical implants, and Post Elf Wars Weil has a mechanical body.) but what about Wiel before he got the mechanical body? He was able to corrupt the Mother-Elf, so he could probably see her, and it seems unlikely that he had Ciel's abilty, as while it would help explain his Reploid revival speciality, it's explained as some sort of an empathic connection, which doesn't seem like something somebody [[Lack of Empathy|like]] [[Complete Monster|Weil]] could have.
