    I dunno. With what I see just doing one song would probably be halfway before they make Act III

    I mean I can see The Stand play out in my mind so well. And I wanna do it and I have some friends who can help model but I dunno. Maybe it's a silly idea.

    Listening to Good Doctor again, it occurs to me that Light should totally work himself to death in Act III to draw a parallel between him and Megaman and his dad and him.

    The thing is the people I know that know how to do this stuff aren't big fans of the music. Not to mention it's gonna be hella hard to do.

    "But men, they say a lot of foolish things, and in the end the only words I can find to believe in are mine."

    I really like this line; that and the one in my title/location are a couple of my favorites from this whole album

    The working theory on the Protomen forum is that Joe is the protagonist starting from Breaking Out.

    Ok, so is Joe
    simply a Sniper Joe, prototype for Protoman? The way I figure it, he kills Emily and Wily whips the city into a frenzy to exact mob justice on the good doctor since he was one of Light's robotic creations. Joe in desperation tries to stick it to Wily but is destroyed, serving as a symbol and martyr for those who would stand up to Wily.

    ??? I sound like a fucking fanboy.

    so is it confirmed the other singer is Joe after How The World Fell? Because in Breaking Out it's implied pretty heavily that it's Wily, what with putting "don't turn your back on the city" on the radio and saying he's going to find out what's gone wrong with the city (the people finally feeling rebellious once Light got out).

    I can see Here Comes the Arm pretty clearly. Light despairing and crying to the memory of Emily, scenes of destruction and apathy playing on a projection screen behind him as he paces and finally collapses at his desk. He finds the letter from Emily and suddenly he and his desk slide off stage as a ghostly woman slides on to sing her part (possibly with a reprise of her "there will be light" part from Father of Death). Light at his desk cross back on stage, only now he is aged and defeated looking like at the end of Act I, singing the end of the song in duet with a projection of him building Protoman. He begins to pace his lab, working and, hopefully, segueing into Act III.

    No, I mean Act III. The way I see it: Act I ->Act II (Intermission shows the city going back in time from a huge robopolis to a quaint little town. This act is a flashback) -> Act III (Events following Act I. Light builds Roll, maybe?)

    See the thing that was confusing to me is that later on in the original Mega Man series Dr. Wily does frame Dr. Light for building some murderous robots, so I figured this occurred later on.

    Act II is really growing on me, liking it a bunch.

    Confused me too at first, but after listening to Act II I'm pretty sure it's a flashback. The Good Doctor is about Light partnering with Wily and building the first robots. How the World Fell Under Darkness is Wily taking over the city to create the situation in Act I.
