I am, quite obviously, one of those people that adore Wheatley. A lot. And yes, I am in the camp of people that “forgave” him. Do I usually portray him as way sweeter than he actually is? Yes. Even in my ask blog everything is toned down, and GLaDOS is more of somebody who blearily mocks him from time to time, rather than the ruthless bot that she actually is.

This is mostly because I have an immense failure to ever vilify anybody, ever. It’s just not in me to dislike or hate somebody because of their choices. I’m a huge softie and a gigantic pushover.

So, do I think Wheatley got what he deserved by going into space, and that it made a solid ending for the character? Honestly, yes. What would happen if he fell back to earth and Chell somehow found him in a Portal 3 game? Even if it was the saccharine ending me and other people enjoy exploring in art and fanfiction, I feel like it would take away from the ending of Portal 2. It felt like an ending, as much as I hate to say it. There’s really no reason for Wheatley to come back. 

Now, if Valve did decide to bring him back to earth for whatever reason, I doubt it would be portrayed in the way we’ve imagined it being, so I don’t think we would be happy with it anyways. I don’t think Chell needs a reminder of Aperture with her, regardless of how affable and nebbish he is.

A++

I thought the same thing.

Here’s my theory for “Half Portal Life 3” though. Wheatley falls back to earth, is captured by the Combine, then single handedly defeats them with his stupidity. The end.
