Then came IWannaBeTheFangame and the threat of [[spoiler:Sticky Keys]] loomed near. The Kid, now the new The Guy, finds himself responsible to keep his new domain safe. And then came another fangame, [[FollowTheLeader and another, and another and another]], each one forcing the kid through hell once again, [[MeatBoy even in games he didn't belong]]. The Lord of Games, clearly saw The Kid's ventures were popular and wasn't planning on giving him a break any time soon and kept inventing new , inventive ways to deliver a challenge to the gamers at the cost of The Kid's welfare.

[[WMG:The Kid is SirIsaacNewton]]
There was a myth that Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity by watching an apple fall from a tree. This would explain why [[SelectiveGravity cherries fall up]] and kill The Kid.

belong]]. The Lord of Games, clearly saw The Kid's ventures were popular and wasn't planning on giving him a break any time soon and kept inventing new , inventive ways to deliver a challenge to the gamers at the cost of The Kid's welfare.

It makes sense that L.O.G. created I Wanna Be The Guy when bored and as a kind of deranged joke to piss people off. He wanted it done quickly so he threw content from his other creations into the mix along with few original content. He didn't expect it to be popular , but after he found out people liked it, he went off to create more sequels to the game, not caring wether the kid wanted to keep going or not.

Put yourself in the Kid's shoes now, after conquering the worst obstacles , defeating The Guy and accomplishing your life's dream you'd expect it much easier from now on. Guess again, trouble keeps coming your way, and no matter how many times you succeed, more painful obstacles will always await you. And the worst thing is, [[FateWorseThanDeath you have infinite lives]]. If I was The Kid, I'd be pissed at whoever is putting me through this crap, and who is doing that now in the world of videogames? Lord Of Games!

Eventually The Kid will snap and go on a RageAgainstTheHeavens plot and take down The RageAgainstTheHeavens.
Lord of Games games will then throw the worst he has at him and his grip on their final confrontation will shake the videogame world once and for all.foundations of the vidogame universe.

[[WMG:''I Wanna Be The Guy'''s creator is [[BlazBlue Hazama]].]]
The first and most obvious piece of evidence is the heavy usage of ''GuiltyGear'' music. (''Guilty Gear'' being ''{{BlazBlue}}'''s [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Predecessor]]) The second piece of evidence is that you can [[KaizoTrap die during the credits]], sort of like how [[spoiler:even if you defeat Hazama, you basically get a DownerEnding.]] The third piece of evidence is The Kid's use of a gun, and that the game itself is very much like MindRape. [[spoiler:How do you think he ''really'' {{Mind Rape}}d Noel? ''By making her play this game!'']] After all that was done, he released the game to the public for [[{{Troll}} shits and giggles]].

It makes sense. No matter how many times you die (which is a lot of times) you come back with only progress lost, because you're already dead. Every screen contains either death traps or massively powerful enemies, things a ProudWarriorRaceGuy would love to get through. Defeating The Guy means you become The Guy, because you've proven you're better than he is.
