Wheatley from Portal - is he a moron?


Is Wheatley a Moron?

The Portal series is gaming at it's finest. From creative ways to kill a turret to finding that damn cake, this is a series you should play. But Wheatley - oh boy. Remember that time where you stare at the picture, and then you let in a little flying Robot Core with an English west accent, who tells you that you have brain damage? Yup, that's him. SPOILER WARNING.

Mad with power, he fakes helping.

He seems to help you for a large while. Like telling you about turrets, not diving head first into one-way death and persuading you the right way, he is a memorable Antagonist from the series. Until he gets transformed. GLaDOS puts him into a machine but she is ripped off from her body and replaced with Wheatley, who turns her into a potato. POTAtOS! But then GLaDOS yells at him, calling him a moron. Then throwing a tantrum, yells "Could a moron do this? Huh?" and smashes the elevator you're in, throwing GLaDOS in with you and then plumiting you into a deep, dark black hole. From then on, you and GLaDOS try and defeat this little moron.

Tantrums, Tantrums.

As well as this, he throws a load of tantrums in the game, such as singing I'm not a moron. But don't be fooled, Wheatleys full of himself. He also says: Okay, I'm going to kill you! At one point, taking a long time to persuade you to jump into a death pit. As much as this sounds suicidal you're gonna have to to advance in the game. Also, very early he says "Alright, they said if I disconnect myself from this I will DIE. So get ready to catch me - CATCH ME CATCH ME CATCH ME." But if you somehow do, the game is stuck until you let him hit the ground. It's scripted.

GLaDOS hates him.

Not only this, but he was GLaDOS' inner core, constantly insulting her and stressing her. Once in her body under control, he shows off and talks a bunch of crap. Also, Wheatley won't shut up about pens. What the heck is with pens and him? He won't stop directing you, which is nice for a while but is annoying when you're doing a complicated test chamber and he starts drooling on.

Eventually, this moron gets shot into space with Space Core. SPACE! He also orbits the Earth with him. Imagine if at night you looked out the window and saw him yelling at Space Core a million miles away! This is satisfying, as he calls a certain place his "lair." What a snob! So yeah, Wheatley? YOU ARE A MORON!
