Presley Hesson it’s the speed of light. When you shot it it appeared on the moon exactly 1.6 sec later. Which is the time for the light to travel from the moon to us
You notice how the Adventure and Fact core give 25% corruption while the Space Core gives 50% corruption? He's just that special. Unless Wheatley himself is 25% corrupted.
Tuxedo Penguin Wheatley wasn't acknowledged as being corrupt by the voice, though, and he technically does exactly what he was designed to do, be a moron.
Tuxedo Penguin It could be that the space core is just twice as corrupt, since he's easily the most simple minded of them. The adventure one even seems to be the most stable since he's the most aware of situations and even has a natural sounding voice, it's just his personality wasn't the way they wanted it to be.
Honestly, After rewatching this years later, I realised that Glados actually ends up genuinely liking Chell but she still considers her an enemy in a way so even though Glados had decided she'd let Chell go, she just pulls multiple jokes to make her scared. She had plenty of time to delete Caroline when Chell was unconscious, but she just happens to delete it after acting all uncharacteristically kind and compassionate? She was clearly just messing with her. Then there were the turrets meeting her above, but turns out to be singing to her. Then the surprise companion cube at the end which was very likely the one she made Chell throw into a furnace. So in short, Glados just became a huge tsundere for Chell at the end.
I feel exactly the same way. More evidence is in "Want You Gone" - "Goodbye my only friend. Oh? Did you think I meant you? That would be funny, if it weren't so sad." Why would it be sad that Chell thought she was Glados' friend, only to be right? Glados loved making fun of her earlier in the game. No, it's sad because it's true, sad to Glados, because she's letting go of the only friend she's ever had. God, I love this game.
I only just realised the Space Core immediately gets hyped as soon as Wheatley mentions “We’re in Space”. It’s very possible it intentionally detaches itself from GLaDOS’s body in that moment just so it can go to Space, unintentionally hitting Wheatley and Chell on the way out.
I just love Glados' line; Wheately "Let go! I can still fix this!" Glados "I already fixed it and YOU are not coming bacK" I played the heck out of this game and loved it
Chell is living somewhere in the ruins of the now Human controlled city 17 when suddenly she receives a package in the mail, she opens it and inside is a cake and a potato batery The End
I just realised You spend the entire game underground, after who knows how many decades in suspension too. You fall through the pipe all the way down to the lair, and get yourself into some messed up situations but as soon as the walls crumble down you see the moon! It's probably like the first time you've seen the night sky in ages but you have to deal with it quickly so I never spent time to think about it. I guess we're not that from the surface after all... crazy right?
Aperture labs is actually inside of a mountain that goes down near the earths core, and technically it's happening at the same time as half -life 2 so... chell doesn't live much longer no matter what... and also Glados still tries to kill chell even after she leaves. In the multiplayer the robots gather codes for nuclear warheads... among other things. And the space core is literally just 50% corrupted. XD
The atmosphere would burn him, maybe. Although, in Portal, GLaDOS said all Aperture Science devices can withstand temperatures up to 4000 degrees Kelvin, or 6740.33 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere only gets to about 3000 degrees Fahrenheit for things entering it, so I guess he's probably survive. However, could he survive such an impact? Also, how would he get turned in the proper direction in space? His power cores also probably wouldn't last more than 50 years on their own, and he's simply too small to cause a world ending impact.
Wheatley was actually decently smart in his preparations for this fight. He took away all the reasons why Chell was able to defeat GLaDOS in the first game and gave himself proper weaponry. The only thing that really foiled him was that tube of liquid, which, admittedly, he was dumb enough to break. And, on top of that, he booby-trapped the stalemate button. He almost had her.
He was preparing for GLaDOS' failures, but he didn't think about his own mistakes which is why he failed. The stalemate button was one of GLaDOS' mistakes from the beginning. I doubt he knew what the glowey moon juice pipes did. Had he not pumped the conversion gel we would have lost
I find it odd how Wheatley is supposedly a moron and GLaDOS is supposed to be a genius. GLaDOS’ boss fight took place in a very large room with every surface covered in portal surfaces. She also had an incinerator just out in the open. But Wheatley has a very enclosed room with no initial portal surfaces. And he even trapped the button on the off chance that you would go for it. Maybe Wheatley isn’t the moron GLaDOS said he is
@@henrytheanglerfish6290 that’s just because she did not expect you to be smart enough to kill her but Wheatley prepared by watching her death and he knew she was smart
We have only GLaDOS word that Wheatley really is a moron and she is not exactly a reliable source of information. Wheatley did have good ideas, like replacing the master turret with a defective one. He is just bad at following through on his ideas.
need to remember it isn't wheatleys fault he betrayed us, he genuinely tried to escape and help us, but it was the programming that changed him. Not power.
Well, I actually think his betrayal was caused by his own programming. Cause when he makes glados into a potato, glados starts stating that the people who made her tried to keep her in control and supposedly made a core to dumb her down a bit, which glados states, the supposed core put streams of bad ideas in her head, and then says Wheatley was that core designed to dumb her down. So, if it's true, which it probably is seeing how the test chambers Wheatley made when he was in control look like when a kid designs a game level, then it could have been Wheatley's own programming that made him betray you, which ended up failing or ending up being a *bad idea.* he even regrets it in the cutscene with him and space core, like someone realizing their idea was bad after executing it. So it might not have been his own choice or the power, just his own programming going too far.
@@cyanity1017 Wheatley got a taste of power and wasn't prepared to handle that kind of effect on him. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, it takes a very strong will to resist such tempting power, something he lacks.
Yeah, they somehow give these machines a lot of expression. One of my personal favorites is when GLaDOS says "That's funny. I don't feel corrupt. In fact, I feel pretty good." Not sure how you convey emotion with a single LED light, but they somehow did it.
So ended Wheatly, dumbest and greatest of the cores. He floated through space for the rest of time. He wished for death, but there was nothing to kill him. So eventually, he stopped thinking.
10 years later and I just realized Those turrets weren't just sitting there. I just replayed the first Portal and in it, it's more or less shown that Glados places them deliberately. (You can see a crane arm behind one). So while Chell was passed out, she set that whole thing up. Maybe it was just Caroline. But it's very heartfelt
She didn't want to admit it but, during her time as a potato, when she had a chance to think clearly without the corrupting influence of power, she'd grown to like Chell. She claimed that killing Chell is hard, all she had to do was not save her from being sucked out into space, she went out of her way to save Chell's life.
@@cr820 not his fault really. It was the central core, notice how he felt genuinely sorry in the post credits scene? Notice how glados kinda grew onto you after being out of the body? Yeah Wheatley isn't exactly a traitor, Iy was the body
Why didn't wheatley feel any pain when he was disconnected from glados's body yet glados felt pain in the core transfer... or was it because they weren't trying to rip his head off...
Well I dont think its because of pain. She was scared and didnt want to lose control. After all who knows what would wheatly do to her.Her most terrible nightmare come true. He put her in a potato and almost destroyed entire place. In the other hand, Wheatly made for putting somewhere and taken out. So for a second opinion, Wheatly didnt CARE about pain cause he was going to space. He got bigger problems.
But he has no way of ever coming back, I just feel bad because our character genuinely wanted to bring him back even after all he did. It was Gladys who in the end had the decision to get rid of him, and in the end, looking through it all. It was the best decision she made for us. Even though it was the toughest.
yknow, portal surfaces being made of moonrock is perhaps the greatest chekov's gun in all of storytelling if you ask me. it's not something you would've really expected to exploit at any point in the game, despite the fact that everyone's first thought after learning that bit of trivia from cave johnson was no doubt "wait, could you put a portal ON the moon?". and it's such a dramatic twist, too. you see the moon through the hole in the ceiling and think "wait, surely not..." and then everything is being sucked into space in a sudden and violent fashion, scaring the living hell out of wheatley, and dangling the both of you off the surface of the moon before being saved by glados. and another thing to note about that scene; at the end, you see that the arm glados used to knock wheatley into orbit was also being used to drag glados across the floor, who was much closer to the portal than was likely necessary or safe. one could assume she pulled you back through at the risk of being sucked into space herself, which really just goes to show how much she's changed as a character by the end of the game
My emotions the first time I played it: 7:58: "Oh finally" 8:18: "GLADOS YOU MOTHER F-" 8:26: "what?" 8:51: "WHAT?" 9:01: "crying" 9:56: "Yes! Finally" 10:09: "crying + laughting + clapping with my ears"
Glados responding to Wheatley in space saying "I already fixed it, AND YPU ARE NOT COMING BACK" makes my heart rate go up so much. Idk why it just does
"Oh, no ! Сhange your plans ! Hold onto me , tighter-AAAH! GRAB ME , GRAB ME , GRAB ME , GRAB MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!...." - WHEATLEY , BEFORE BEING SQUASHED BY SPACE CORE AND TURNED INTO AP-SAP
She shot a portal at the moon, was momentarily sucked into the vacuum of space, and didn't die. That's a level of determination Frisk Dreemurr would envy.
1- The Moon has an atmosphere, it isn't a vacuum. 2- It is possible to survive even in space very briefly. Very, very briefly. About 30 seconds before you lose consciousness and 1-2 minutes before you die. There are numerous reports of astronauts having tears and ruptures in their suits and not suffering anything worse than the bends from the sudden change in air pressure. As long as the exposure is short, you've got good odds of being fine. All the nonsense about freezing to death instantly or exploding or anything like that is rubbish. The key word is Chell was "momentarily" sucked into space. She would have had the bends cuz of the high then low then high again air pressure of an earth-moon-earth trip, but she would have been fine otherwise.
Oliver Payne I didn't quite realize that at the time of posting. I thought it was canon. I now realize my mistake. But, if the theory is in fact true...
GLaDOS: "The surge of emotion that shot through me when I saved your life taught me another valuable lesson: Joe" Chell: "Who's Joe?" Announcer Voice: "*Joe Mama deleted*"
Djrocks Gaming ratman could be the protagonist, after saving Chell he could’ve cryo stored himself. Would make a good game given that he’s schizophrenic, would make great dialogue and maybe he could go into a state of psychosis to add extra challenges to the game
The *surge* of emotion that shot through me when I saved your life, taught me an even more valuable lesson. Where Caroline lives in my brain. *beep* [Caroline deleted]
She's not deleted. GLaDOS can't delete Caroline because she was created from her consciousness. Plus in the credits GLaDOS confirms that she still has Caroline and Ellen McLain even confirms that Caroline is still inside GLaDOS.
This was the first ever game that actually made me cry because Wheatley was my favourite character. I cried when he turned evil. I cried when he tried to kill us. I cried when he went to space. I cried when he said he was sorry. And if Portal 3 saves Wheatley (if it exists) I’m getting it when it comes out because Wheatley was the best. He was funny, I liked his voice, I liked his name and he was cool and it wasn’t his fault he turned evil, it was the programming of the body that made him bad. I felt bad when I was blowing him up with his own bombs and when I was putting other cores on his body. It felt like the Levias battle in Skyward Sword but putting the corruptions on him not taking them off. Also my second favourite character was Core 1, or the Space Core, because he’s super funny. But he wasn’t Wheatley.
IDK If at Portal 3 he appears dead (no battery) but also how did they got a voice... specially Wheatly, sounds like a real voice... also I talked with the creator of portal and said that Portal 3 can or not appear so yeah... also I never played Portal or Portal 2 (or Portal 3)
@@riccardoheryanto4053 he definitely didn't. he was a good dude before and after being in charge of the facility, but the programming in controlling the whole place fucked with his head.
5:49 I like it how it takes about 2-3 seconds for the portal to appear, it takes that much time for light to travel to the moon and back. And thats how much time it would take for a portal to appear on the moon
Closer to 3,000,000 football fields, actually. The moon orbits on average 365,000 kilometres above the centre of the Earth, with a football field only being ~0.1 kilometres in length.
Something I never noticed at first is that when the portal is opened before anyone else is sucked in you can see adventure core get sucked in first. Too bad we don’t see him at the end with the other two
0:03 On a replay of Portal 2, I just now realized that the cores that are moving or are on are the Space, Adventure, and fact ones that you later attach to Wheatley to make him corrupt.
The best part about playing the game totally blind is that you don’t know anything. When I played, I had no clue who Wheatley is, so hearing this british guy knocking on my door was a surprise- I hadn’t ever seen a personality core before, so that was cool to see. When GladOS crushed him, I genuinely thought he died, and was *elated* when I found him again, where he dropped eggs in the door- then I was angry, then just s a d about his betrayal, and then I fought him and it felt just amazing, and I appreciated him more than I already did XD$ Got real sad when he was blasted into space-
The main body of which Wheatley and galdous where hanging is corrupted as glados told in previous game that humans made her to think both sides it means she was thinking both evil and good side but somehow the evil side got more stronger than the good side, so that any attachment was applied on the body was became Evil that's why Wheatley ditched you and when he was free he understand that what he had done but galodus (who is attached to body now) decided to suffer him
Late reply, you might have rewatch some scenes again and again cause they're cool... I'm guessing the portal to the moon, the turret opera and end song.(you might have already forgotten why though since this was a year ago)
@@kraken4067 late reply,yep i think so too!what a coincidence,im a year late to reply you,is it a coincidence tho?there might be some miss taken leading?i dont know,why not you go tell the creator what this coincidence is?maybe he knows!
5:20 I love the amount of expression in chell,like the way she reaches for Wheatley as he flies away and there’s a tiny detail of her trying to grab the space core as he flies out
I'm hoping for a Portal 3 where chell is turned into a core at the end, or maybe at the beginning, and she needs to get her body back. maybe she has to control atlas and p-body to navigate to her body (maybe it's in storage or something) and then get it to the core replacement section to transfer herself out of the core. meanwhile glados is f*cking with her or just bashing her head against the wall because OF COURSE this happened to her. XD Just because of the line "one day they woke me up so i could live forever, it's such a shame the same will never happen to you".
@MckaysProductions I had this too, the way I fixed it was to not move from where you enter the chamber until the countdown starts - this worked for me! I ran straight to behind the white goo dispenser and that seemed to glitch it..
during the fight he also says how much he remembers and hates chell for not grabbing him in chapter one. poor wheatley :( i only discovered this lately. not nearly enough people know about his bossfight dialogue, he's saying some of the later lines sounding like he's on the verge of tears
@@PipeyardCentipede To be fair, you are also on a time limit, so there's no time to sit around and hear him talk...plus it's a boss fight and everyone would rather complete the game than hear dialogue; with Wheatly constantly attacking you
@@dr.pepper7606 each phase can take as little as around 15 seconds as seen in the video while the time limit resets every time you put in a core. but its true that during a first playthrough there isnt time to hear him talk
The sad part is that this is probably the smartest Wheatley has ever been. UNfortunaley also the dumbest as well. Even if you were evil I will always love you Wheatley. Enjoy space, hopefully you have some porn or something saved on your hard drive to help pass time.
11:53 Uh oh. the story continues. i don't know if its about the robots or this caroline, but i'm hoping. just hoping there will be a portal 3 where the test subject comes back to check if there is someone there to save.
That elevator puts it into perspective that without GlaDoS letting you leave? You're not leaving Aperture in a timely manner. You stop to sleep and she catches up by turning the environment around on you making you think you may have made any progress but just got turned around in the process.
