< The Megas
The Megas/YMMV
- Alternate Character Interpretation: Not only are their own characterizations of the character this, but even within the songs themselves this can be applied. Is Flashman gay for Megaman, or just afraid of his power? Does Heatman want to burn the world For The Evulz or because he's insane (or because this is how he mourns)? Are people terrified of Air Man because of his monstrous appearance or because he's an insane robot built by a mad doctor with the intent to have him kill them?
- A break down:
- Crash Man is either a Tragic Hero, an Anti Villain, or possibly both.
- Bubble Man is either The Woobie, the Black Sheep, or both. At the same time, the song suggests that he's not only trying to prove his worth to his brothers, but to himself.
- Metal Man can be seen as an Arrogant Kung Fu Guy (as described below) during the beginning of his song, but towards the end, his singing holds slight shades of seeing a Worthy Opponent in Mega Man.
- Wood Man could be The Avenger for his brothers.
- Quick Man's song suggests he's trying to say Screw Destiny by killing Mega Man.
- A break down:
- Accidental Innuendo: Probably unintentional, but Woodman is the master of machines... and of the birds and the bees?
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming:The Message from Doctor Light has two: the repeated chanting of "they call you hero, I call you my son" and "but the burden in your heart I did not put there".
- Ear Worm: "It's lights out! Lights out for you!"
- Just that? The entire band qualifies; specially if you're a massive Mega Man fan. Just try to hum Flash Man's theme without thinking "I've always admired Mega Man, and his flawless design...
- Fandom Rivalry: There's a one with The Protomen, due to them both being Mega Man bands that involve lyrics (with absolutely nothing else in common).
- Fridge Brilliance: Why is there a cover of Sunglasses at Night on a Megaman 3 prev-oooh.
- Fridge Horror: Listen to Evolution of Circuitry, Electric Man's incredibly upbeat, empowering song about having the power to liberate his people and bring about a new era, one of the most upbeat songs they've written. Realize that he gets brutally executed by Megaman immediately after the song ends. (This also adds extra pathos to Dr. Wiley's Look What You've later on the same album, and to Spark Man's much more militant and aggressive You've Sparked a War on the next.)
- Painful Rhyme: From The Annihilation of Monsteropolis:
I will fly high above Monsteropolis / and I'll rain terror down on the general populace.
- Woobie: A few of the robot masters come to mind, such as Crashman, Flashman, Bubbleman and Protoman.
- By the time of "History Repeating", Mega Man himself shows signs of this.
History repeating / Who do I call when I'm broken and bleeding?
