YMMV / Wii Deleted You

• Character Perception Evolution: Eteled/Henry. When Sam's Story came out, he was pitied by the fandom for his horrible background. From being full of Abusive Parents (barring his mother), violence, and bullying. Additionally, it's revealed that he feels pain from being deleted, which makes his reasons for lashing out at Kyle in the former's story a little bit understandable. However, due to people growing older and re-examining the story, they started finding it to be poor reasons for traumatizing two children and murdering someone, not being helped with the fact that Eteled used Sam as a means to escape from the consequences of his actions. That, among other things, has made him into a more divisive character. One thing people can agree on, however, is that the sympathy Eteled has in the narrative falls flat.
• Narm: The fact that Henry always wanted to become a Mii has taken a few people out of it. Of all the Nintendo characters to choose from, why specifically Miis?
• Rooting for the Empire: "Evil" is stretching it since Kyle is a Well-Intentioned Extremist. Still, people supported Kyle's aim to destroy the Wii in Sam's Story due to the trauma inflicted on him during the events of his own story, having witnessed a Mii act out and murder his own one amongst many other traumas would do a number on a child.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic:
  • Kyle in Sam's Story. While you're meant to root against him because he wants to destroy the Wii that contains Eteled, his actions and behavior are understandable with the knowledge that he was traumatized by Eteled's actions as a kid and didn't know better. With Corrupted Data revealing more context, a huge amount of fans started taking Kyle's side despite the knowledge that he's running off of trauma.
  • Austin Sanders. No one is denying that he is a bit selfish and incorrigible. Still, he was murdered senselessly by a drunk Henry Morris due to his jealousy of Austin rising through the ranks easily, robbing him of a life that was starting to get much better. While some may find his infliction of Electric Torture on Eteled/Henry questionable, people are more understanding of Austin considering that his murder at the hands of Henry (who would later become Eteled) diminishes the latter's credibility as a pitiable person.
