Thinking about the theme of a person suffering for the sake of the world and vice versa in 06. Silver wondering if sacrificing a person's life to save the world is right and Blaze doing exactly that with herself, Shadow knowing that the world will eventually betray him but still choosing to protect it, Mephiles trying to influence him to do the opposite, and Elise's father forcing the decision on her, which leads to her wanting to choose her own happiness over the fate of the world

…okaaaaay...unpacking this because….look at it.

A refresher for those of you who aren’t completely brain-rotted like me; this interaction takes place in the midst of the IDW Metal Virus arc. This is after Sonic tries to redeem Metal.

Now onto my thoughts.

Sonic is exhausted. He lacks sleep from having to continuously run to fight off the metal virus but he’s still takes the time to talk to Metal. Why? Because he cares. He cares about Metal even after Metal goes back to Eggman.

I think it’s clear that Sonic still wants to help Metal. His comments are far too petty for him to not. I think he could be throwing out Gemerl and Omega’s names to show Metal that he would be welcomed if he were to turn over a new leaf.

Sonic sounds hurt. He sounds like a bitter ex in all honesty.

I think another detail that’s nteresting is how Sonic is upset, yes, and he calls Metal out for running back to Eggman, but he doesn’t blame him. Even when it can be inferred on Sonic’s part (and aswe know) that Metal was the one that caused Eggman to regain his memories and start the Metal Virus.

Metal is, although only partially, responsible. But Sonic doesn’t blame him for it. He blames him for turning him away but not for causing the virus.

You could take that as Sonic not realizing metal inadvertently caused it, but Sonic isn’t stupid. I think he knows.

But why not mention it? It would be so easy to pin the blame on Metal. So why doesn’t he?

I think it’s partially Sonic knowing what it feels like to have the blame thrusted on him. He’d been facing a lot of flack from the resistance over the virus, but I think there’s more.

I think Sonic knows how dependent Metal is on Eggman. That’s his father. Metal runs back to Eggman because that’s all he knows. And I think Sonic sympathizes with that. Even if he wishes Metal would change (change for him) he can’t blame him for going back to the guy.

Tl;dr, Sonic is in love with Metal, you can’t prove me wrong.

#this is actually a super interesting take #i like how it's deconstructing the situation #metal and sonic have a very interesting relationship that i wish was expanded upon more in the games #nowadays in the games metal is just a robot copy of sonic and that's about it. we don't really explore how sonic feels about it #there was Heroes where we explored how metal feels about his own goals and purposes #kinda #but then for some reason sonic himself felt a bit detached from all that to me. is that wrong ? #there's more to be said about how metal is treated like a tool nowadays and how i think he deserves better. #his only strong ties are sonic and eggman by design... but why not explore other connections ? #for example to amy ( his first goal ) or to shadow ( fellow artificial lifeform mean to copy something ) or the other robots of the series #hell what about the other eggman robots. how does he feel about them ? #i dunno. metal is just such an interesting character on his own #but he doesn't often get the chance to be his own person #i wanna see more with him #teka rambles #writing material
