When I saw Metal try to infect himself with the virus and fail, I didn't actually see that as another way he's "inferior" to Sonic. I read it as him finally having something _over_ Sonic. Unlike Sonic, who's fighting for his life to fend off the virus, Metal seems to be immune, incapable of being hindered by something that's slowing Sonic down, making Metal "stronger". I think this goes to show how great silent art can be in general, so many ways to interpret them.

Would you say that you could be superior to someone that you are supposed to beat if you haven’t experienced what they did? He may be Immune to infection, but there is the possibility that he did that attempt at infection to see if he could fare better than sonic is. To metal sonic, fighting off an infection that sonic is barely surviving from without losing his life, it would make him superior. Being immune to the virus may be a plus, but being manipulated by the zeti is definitely a fail that sonic is immune to. In fact, even if not illustrated, i could see Metal try to replicate the mechanics that the zeti do and try to overcome it, try to become immune, so that sonic doesn’t have that advantage over him.

Omg, just realized, the radio stations letters “K-TBR” is a short hand Easter egg for Kintobor. Robotnik’s real name before he became the evil world conquering scientist we know today. And the stations numbers “199.2” is a reference to the year when the original Archie Sonic comics had its start. A four part mini series that was published in 1992!!! That is a deep cut reference!

I think the Eggcave was less a "this needs to be told" story, and more of a "comic relief interlude" after the radio station gut-punch. The last two I think were just filler because they needed to pad out the annual. Also, am I the only one who read the voice of Night the Owl as sounding like Old Man Owl from the old Sonic OVA?

I never thought of Metal Sonic like that. The way you described him just makes so much sense in hindsight.

this metal sonic plot is almost as good as Kameo: Elements of Power

I believe the Red/Super Metal Sonic at 19:18 is a reference to Metallix, who was a major villain in the Fleetway comics.

Big is a character with such potential. And we’ve seen in both this and Archie that Flynn recognizes that potential. So it’s a shame so far this annual is still his only major appearance in IDW which is about to release its 41st issue.

I subscribe to the theory that metal is the roboticized original sonic from a failed timeline in CD. So when reading the metal sonic short story, I interpreted it as metal truly believes that he is the real sonic because his failed timeline occurred before the successful one. So dipping his finger into the virus was the final confirmation that he wasn't the real sonic anymore and was finally forced to come to terms with that fact.

16:31 was beautifully delivered. Describes Metal perfectly.

16:32 I know this reference. Very cool.

I saw the metal story as him wanting to be real. Organic. Which ties in with how he steals DNA and stuff. Honestly I want something like that to happen. He somehow figures out how to make an organic body and put his consciousness in it, like some bizarro version of sonic.

I think there might be another aspect to Metal seeing the Metal Virus slip off of him. I definitely agree with what you say, but there might be a positive thought about the situation that occurred to Metal in the moment. That being: HE can't get infected, but Sonic CAN, meaning even though he's lost to Sonic and Co so many times, he still has some advantages over his loathsome copy. He can do things that regular flesh and blood Sonic could never dream of. So, you could look at it as a bittersweet kind of moment for our Metalic Menace.

I listen to these while I'm doing delivery work. I've already read the mainline series, but your little comments and input really adds a lot to it. Keep up the good work!

I'm not gonna lie, the way you're able to describe how Sonic is proven to be stronger than Metal Sonic is surprisingly deep.

4:42 Marsupilami is a character in the sonic universe confirmed. What an awesome but random reference.

I agree with your sentiment about Metal Sonic not speaking. It really gives him a menacing presence and represents Sonic only in physical ability. However once he gets his Neo form, he should start talking cause that's what Metal himself wants. He made that body himself. Sonic isnt the type of guy to sit there, take orders, and say nothing. He has the agency to talk when he wants and not talk when he needs to. That's what Metal wants to be and then some. His silence wasn't his own, it was forced upon him by somebody else (Eggman) simply out of convenience. His body is "modernized" and upgraded cause Sonic ever since CD has grown in appearance, personality, and power. Meanwhile Metal looks essentially the same, stuck in the past not fulfilling his only priority and Sonics growth only makes his purpose harder to realize. Metal is one of my fav characters and has alot of untapped potential. (can be said with alot of these characters lol)

Eggman meets Starline, and is immediately like "Now I get to build a new action figure for my man cave."

The two best example of silent comics in my mind are reflections, and the one where it’s sergeant Johnson escaping the flood. The metal sonic one has so much emotion in it, and the seargent Johnson one is so incredibly harrowing. The only sound being the roar of gunfire, and the thudding of people and flood in combat.

These stories are absolutely great. Fantastic. Always enjoy hearing you commentate in them.
