No worries, brosis. I like this rant :)

But I think you mistook, or read too much into what I said. I'm referring to essentially giving him a free pass due to the whole GLaDOS chassis corrupting everything connected to it, but denying that same doubt for GLaDOS. They're both passive aggressive when not attached, although Wheatley is more genuine about his remarks where GLaDOS is usually sarcastic and a liar. "Genuine" doesn't necessarily mean kind though. I thought it was pretty clear that robots in Aperture, aside from Different Turret, have a severe superiority complex to people.


But I'd say they're both redeemable, or definitely capable of being selfless or fostering some emotion to humans, because they still come back to aid your player character (Wheatley could have just left you behind and cowed in the background after he was crushed and the facility was no longer in danger; GLaDOS didn't need to pull you back in from space). They definitely need and use you for their own goals, but still have enough attachment to stick their neck out for you.

I don't know. Between the apology and the clearly not-euthanized companion cube, I came out of that game thinking they actually could have been triple bffs if two of them weren't robots crafted by crazy people.

I like your interpretation a lot. :) It makes a ton of sense to me, especially since GLaDOS did give back the first game's companion cube. It's a curious ending considering she fried two of the companion cubes in the second one and was like 'oh, we have a whole warehouse full of them. Entirely worthless.' so I'd say she was just trying to make Chell feel even worse for believing she destroying that first companion cube (or for having an attachment to it in the first place).

Overall I adore how complex GLaDOS is. It's so nice to see a game with definite thought and background behind it, and even though Wheatley NEVER SHUT UP, I didn't find him annoying, and also thought the quick shift in personality was because of GLaDOS' body. I also recall that comment from Wheatley about smelly humans, then quickly apologizing, though it was clear he also believed himself above people.
