What happens in same continuity does indeed matter, because as far as I see it, Wily discards every possibly redeeming, honorable and comedic trait by the time X series kicks in. Which, combined with his actions in the X series, can make a character enter PE territory.

And no, the comics are not canon, so that doesn't count.
