    The most tragic thing about Mephiles is that "I want to exist" is a double entendre.
    He can't exist if he chooses to allow Solaris to.

    I think Mephiles would be a good choice for a villain of a Silver spin-off. I can see Mephiles' goals and desires changing because given he's aware of being removed from the timeline, destroying all of time would probably be less appealing

      Probably wouldn’t be so bad if literally everything was in the Void. Basically he’s the only living thing in the Void right now. Maybe somewhere Iblis exists in there, but can’t say for sure because we literally never see them. So imagine from Sonic 06 till Generations having literally nobody to interact with.

    If Sega decides to bring back Mephiles then I don't think they will bring him back like characters like Metal Sonic or the Deadly Six, they are characters that will be brought back again and again.
    mephiles on the other hand is probably going to be a really big deal with special trailers and a lot of marketing and merchandise, and probably in a more story focused game

  • @PolarityOfNeoSoulCity

    If, and this is a BIG IF, Sonic Team does decide to bring Mephiles back... I envision it being a scenario where he's got to be a proper final boss, but he still wouldn't be this constant entity as a result.
    There could be a potential ideal of them using some "Thanks to Black Doom's influences in White Space, somehow the barriers of time keeping Mephiles away are now weak enough for him to break through", and he bides his time by lurking, absorbing shadows to give himself more power since absorbing the Shadow of Shadow was enough to prevent his first resealing attempt. Is it retreading the Black Doom story of "Now he's back, he returned from oblivion"? Yes, that will always be how seemingly confirmed dead villains returning works.
    Admittedly I think it would need some genuinely worthwhile stakes for Mephiles to carry that energy of the past, and for it to work, we basically pull some "all dimensions and fractured timelines are forcibly merged in this destructive web of time", leaving us with this new world. It would potentially be interesting, but it would be a very risky task with likely polarizing results

    I think it’s pretty clear Mephiles returned in Shadow Generations because he’s realistically more popular than Infinite from Sonic Forces. He’s much more memorably impactful whereas Infinite was poorly wasted. And it threw us off guard how his fight was represented in a meaningful way in the lore beyond just he’s back for fan service. I think we’re lucky he came back at all. And I’m content with that. Is Sega ready to bring back deeper continuity stories in the forefront definitively going forward? I mean it’s nice to see some continuity effort again for sure. But I don’t want them to rely on the past constantly either if it means screwing with logic. I mean I know we’re talking about a fictional anything can happen franchise. But you said it yourself the cost of what makes a character so good coming back just because. And I definitely agree about them potentially ruining the surprise factor for his return in Shadow Generations. I really don’t go out of my way to see what they added for the game, but the marketing blew up the reveal what’s in store for the game. While it’s good for hype interest, it just would have been better if discovered in game.

      Both characters were wasted, Mephiles was in one of the worst sonic games ever made and Infinite was written by the worst writter in this franchise's history.
      The reason why Mephiles was chosen over Infinite was that this would be the last time we would ever see him, this time rift is the only way an encounter with him would be possible, while Infinite can still come back at any time. Another reason would be due to the fact that Shadow at this point in the timeline wouldn't be able to defeat Infinite in case he was in the game, and there is also the factor that Shadow would have to remember infinite in sonic forces since shadow gens happened before Forces, Infinite would just make things much more complicated.

      Mephiles would never be the same after what happened to him. He received exactly what he wanted to do with the rest of the univers, and that would have happened if he had won, for more irony.
      He would still try everything to make Sonic and the others' lives hell, but if someone tried to destroy everything, he would swallow his pride and hatred and make a truce until everything was resolved, even if only to avoid going back to that hell.

    A way Mephiles could return is actually a rather simple one. A small update to Shadow generations where, after fighting Mephiles, if you idle for long enough then your shadow will start to reshape a bit.
    Essentially, a small update that changes Shadows Shadow only when he stands still for long enough, which is a way of confirming that Mephiles followed Shadow into whitespace through his shadow. An easy way to explain it that works well and still allows for his return.

    Mephiles was a huge threat in Sonic '06, and would be hard to allow him to continue to exist in the main timeline without being such an obvious threat the everything. But you need to remember Mephiles only posed such a big threat when paired with Iblis. Mephiles was able to control time but Iblis was the Destroyer. If you brought back mephiles without Iblis you could still portray him as a big threat, but not an all ending one. And given his time based powers, and the face he is aware of his erasure from the timeline, there is the potintial for him to escape the white space beyond time and return. SO yes it is very possible to bring him back in an organic way that makes sense, while also realisticly scaling him back enough to not be an over powered villain for more long term stories.

  • @Chrno34
    @Chrno34 19 днів тому +1

    There is a strong possibility of Mephiles returning in the future since Sonic Team(through Ian Flynn) confirmed that Iblis is still sealed with Blaze's soul in the main timeline. As long as that's the case, we may very well since Mephiles (and Solaris) making a comeback in a future title.

  • @reeceemms1643
    @reeceemms1643 Місяць тому +8

    You got to remember Mephiles is a time God I think as of right now he's just not got all his strength as he's currently trapped in some type of purgatory and he needs to get out of it before he can regain full power and restore himself to the timeline. Then it depends on what he does next which will possibly be trying to somehow restore Iblis and keep failing.
    It would possibly be interesting if they have a slight side of tragedy for Mephiles, all he wants is to just become Solaris once again but he can't. And one of his actual ways could be trying to recreate the events from the 06 timeline, seeing if somehow that could revive Iblis though realising that he can't. Then when that fails his next motive is then trying to basically rebuild the timeline to the best of his ability but realises that he is not strong enough to do it.
    Then finally his final motive is to attempt to make an amalgamation of Iblis which works though is very volatile. But it is enough for him to become Solaris, though it is then revealed by either Tails or Robotnik that this version of Solaris is unstable and if they do not stop it then it will implode and then explode taking all time with it. Sonic, Shadow, and Silver then have to defeat the unstable Solaris though it is slightly stronger than before. But ultimately they defeat him and reduce Mephiles back into his base form.
    Then when Mephiles states that he wanted to become whole again, Sonic will then say that its impossible telling him that no matter what he tries he'll be unable to as it will always fail. Then finally Sonic tells Mephiles that he needs to move on. Then as Mephiles thinks about it there is a moment at the end where possibly due to what Mephiles had been doing all of time is at threat and they need to fix the time space rupture that Mephiles possibly caused before it ripped apart time.
    It will be here were Mephiles tells them to get out whilst he stays behind to fix his damage closing the time space rupture which ultimately seals him once again into his purgatory this time accepting it as his banishment.
    I think this could actually bring on a lot of good messages of redemption and moving on. Possibly they could also do it as a type of apology for 06 or try and make it as a way to redeem Sonic 06. Though more likely the apology letter.
    This is something else. As part of the story they bring back Elise, with Mephiles either using his powers to influence Robotnik into kidnapping her since that is what happened in the 06 timeline and he needs to have that recreated. As he recalls Sonic saving her multiple times and expects that to happen this time however. During Sonic's mission to save her he meets this Prince character who has heard of Elise getting captured and is on his way to save her. Sonic agrees to let the Prince help and after saving Elise it's revealed that the Prince is actually Elise's fiancé. This could be a character a drummed up called Prince Kyiden for a story.
    Either way this completely throws a spanner into Mephiles plan as it revolved around Sonic and Elise forming an attachment and now that is impossible. This possibly results in Mephiles revealing himself by accident and having a boss fight with Sonic which then during it Shadow shows up and helps with Mephiles retreating. It is possibly that which results in Mephiles going to his timeline recreation plan.

    mephiles has always been my favourite sonic character, if you take him at face value he’s very one-note but if you take the time to analyse a lot of small things about 06 he quickly becomes one of the most (maybe unintentionally) complex characters in sonic. his story and the solaris project have a lot of themes that aren’t able to explored through other characters (very religious lore) and so i really like him.
    i think bringing him back would have to be done very carefully but it could definitely be pulled off. his new characterisation in sxsg gives him a new layer and i think it’d be pretty cool to explore that. but at the end of the day this is still sega, and despite their new polish i’m not sure theyd be able to pull it off well enough sadly

      Fun fact, it was confirmed that a version of Iblis still exists inside of Blaze. After she sealed it away and sacrificed herself she ended up sent across space and flung into the Sol Dimension, and after the Solaris Reset she was reborn as a denizen of that dimension. She doesn't KNOW that she has Iblis inside of her, but she does. I suppose there is also the Ifrit, plus lots of other big scary monsters that Mephiles totally could fuse with if he couldn't find Iblis.

      @@aceblaz5502 Take a look again at the scene where Blaze sacrifices herself at the end of 06, it's actually a pretty genius piece of connective storytelling. She tells Silver to seal her in another dimension, and when she turns transparent you can see the cuffs of her shoes change colour for a split second as she fades away. That's the same coloration as Burning Blaze, and the choice of the word "Dimension" is not a coincidence. Maekawa, the writer for 06, even directly confirmed that this was the intention. They wanted to connect Blaze's story in 06 with her appearance in Rush, though unfortunately a lot of the things they had planned were scrapped due to time constraints so Blaze ended up being pretty half-baked in the final release. Still, that last scene is brilliantly done, and yet people still argue over Blaze's origin when it's so clearly laid out for us.

    Here's an idea, Shadow opened the boss gate hidden away. They can use that to say that despite the timeline being restored the stuff Shadow or even Sonic did in whitespace left some changes or leftovers that were kept around. Eggman was also manipulating the timeline and BlackDoom was shown to manipulate the whitespace.
    What I'm saying is that the timeline doesn't necessarily of had to of been fixed fully (think of the Archie Sonic Comic reboot storyline). It did let Sonic and Co remember Classic Sonic after all and the
    Phantom Ruby also did damage to the timeline with Classic Sonic so there is the story of the timeline still not fully restored.
    So Mephiles can use his natural time manipulation abilities to take advantage of that.

Another idea is that he’s just so powerful that he just breaks into the timeline by force, but it’s a timeline without iblis for him to merge with. him being a godlike being that will always somehow return would be cool but ultimately if they bring him back it should be his final time as a main villain and any other appearances would just be cameos.

    • @AlmondMilkLake
      @AlmondMilkLake 25 днів тому

      I read somewhere that it was confirmed that a part of Iblis still lives inside of Blaze to this day canonically, as it was taken with her to Sol dimension, meaning the timeline being erased didn't actually affect her and the Iblis she sealed within herself, this could also explain why she recognized Crisis City, maybe to Blaze 06 was like a foggy dream rather than just never happening? so for her it did happen but she may not think it was real, she vaguely remembers Crisis City, but not Silver or the actual events that happened.
      Also, the things i will say next are all merely speculation but i think Sega could potentially cleanup the 06 lore and timeline with something like this: so basically Blaze existing in Silver's future made no sense right? it couldn't happen before Sonic Rush, so what if the events for her went more like, Sonic Rush -> Sonic 06 -> Sonic Rush Adventure, having 06 in-between could work with this theory i'll explain next, so maybe Sega could set Solaris to be the Sol dimension parallel to what Chaos is to Sonic's dimension, they could claim that it was released into Sonic's dimension when Blaze used the Sol Emeralds at the end of Sonic Rush, then Soleanna found it as "The Flame of Hope" (being a time god Solaris could've inserted itself in that point in time of Sonic's dimension) and they began experimenting with it, but their logic was flawed in using the Chaos Emeralds to control a being from another dimension, which requiered the Sol Emeralds instead, this could explain Solaris becoming unstable so violently as response to energy from the Chaos Emeralds, and that's how everything we saw when Shadow and Sillver went to the past happened, so maybe for Blaze at the end of Sonic Rush instead of being sent back to Sol dimension she was sent to Silver's future, as the events that lead to it where indirectly her fault, this theory could also explain why Blaze was helping Silver out instead of being at Sol dimension and why it was so easy for Blaze to seal Iblis within herself while Silver couldn't, she's Sonic's equivalent from the Sol dimension after all, so maybe it was her purpose for being on the future to begin with, seal Iblis back into Sol dimension even if within herself (she'd basically have the same curse as Elise, but she's already pretty stoic tbh so she'd have less trouble keeping it under control).
      I know it's not a perfect theory of course, but if it was more elaborated and properly excecuted it could be a near perfect way to fix these major plot holes on 06 without ruining Blaze's character (like the other theory that claims 06 happened before Rush), or at the very least, it could fully explain why Blaze was there to begin with and give a proper backstory to Solaris' existence.
      This could even lead to a reboot of 06, where Blaze is replacing Elise's role (so we get rid of all the dumb romance and the infamous kiss scene that make it so controversial), the events play put relatively the same but in a new setting instead of Soleanna (maybe we go back to Sol dimension?) Mephiles has a much better plan this time to free Iblis from Blaze without making the same mistakes that lead to him being deleted from the timeline in the first place, and also actively seeks revenge on the 3 Hedgehogs for messing up his original plans, and we finally give both Blaze and Silver the relevance they desperately need while bringing back Mephiles in full glory on a better game.

    When shuttle defeats him a bit of his darkness clings on to shadow so that way he may exist in a timeline that he does not and to make sure that he does exceed upon his task to exist when shuttle appears for giving sonic the chaos emerald the darkness that was on shadow Will try to flee and try to mix in with the time eater well, the Eggman’s i’m currently busy upon bickering with one of another. This also would help to explain how they manage to escape I think.

    I think Sega chose to bring Mephiles back in Shadow Gens so they could see how the public would react.
    Considering how everyone loved it, I think our existence complex boy might have a future, but only Ian Flynn can say.

    i feel like saying "mephiles isnt canon" isnt the right word to use since he is still part of the sonic lore, maybe saying he was canonically erased from the timeline is a better explaination

  • @michaelthefurrycat2093
    @michaelthefurrycat2093 26 днів тому

    I believe if he does come back he probably used shadows shadow in the manor of seconds before he gets sealed up, meaning shadows shadow is literally mephiles.

  • @brunafcf9910

    Personally, I think Mephiles would look great in a hypothetical future Silver game. Since, just like with Shadow, they kind of had a dynamic, with it being Mephiles who made Silver start this whole time travel thing by manipulating him. So it kind of makes a little sense for them to meet and confront each other, kind of to show a difference in Time-lines, metaphorically.

    Well I think there’s one way to bring Mephalis back. He only needs to get one piece of himself back into the timeline to exist right? He can easily pretend to lose while actually riding on Shadow’s back, slowly rebuilding himself and whispering in people’s ears.

    Some remit of Mephiles must exist for him to be pulled into white space. The Time Eater doesn't create things, it pulls things in and devours them. So for Crisis City to be in White Space, for Mephiles to be in White Space, some small piece of them must exist. The question is where did it come from? And in that manner, where did the Time Eater come from?
    I hope they explore this in a future game.

    Honestly my goat comes back. I think they have a really easy setup for him considering the fact that he's lived in white space for however many years. So how does he get out? Same way the Eggmans would, presumably. What if they found the Scepter of Darkness and tapped into its powers to get out, accidentally bringing it back with them?
    Mephiles being reintroduced to the cast also means he would get a chance to be his old manipulative self (which I would really like to see Robbie Daymond take a crack at). He could tell the main cast that the Sonic, Shadow, and Silver of His World were responsible for his timeline getting erased, which technically wouldn't even be a lie!
    Interesting that you bring up Infinite though, I remember hearing that he hasn't been mentioned in the comics since the VERY beginning of the IDW run...and that Mephiles was in a similar position in the Archie comics. Infinite may be the same case.

    honestly if they wanted to make mephiles appear again they could make a sonic 06 remake in the style of ff7 remake where its clear theres some time travel stuff occurring that makes the events not occur the same as the original and use that as an opportunity to change the plot significantly to make it a new game

  • @espinoth9913
    @espinoth9913 Місяць тому

    Eggman seems to like messing with time a lot, between 06, CD, Rivals 2, Gens, and a bunch of comic plots. Mephiles could reemerge when he does it again...
    Or maybe, hear me out: _Sonic Rush 3._
    Eggman Nega is Eggman's grandson, yet he keeps appearing in the present timeframe, which means he's time travelling as well. This gives the possibility of Mephiles coming back, within the Sol Dimension. Blaze's home. Both her and the Sol Emeralds have inherent connections to fire. So does Mephiles, given Solaris was Soleanna's 'eternal flame', and his other half in Iblis was known as the Flames of Disaster. And Iblis was sealed inside of Blaze at the end of Silver's story in '06.
    Even if the Rush games' Blaze isn't the same as '06 Blaze, Sonic Team could almost certainly come up with a reason for Mephiles to actively pursue her or the Sol Emeralds.

  • @Fang1st

    Well, if I remember correctly, the head of Shadow Generations said he wanted to go back and make a new Sonic 06 remake, so there may be hope for them to bring Mephiles back. I'm just hoping they redeem Infinite as well at the moment, given how Forces screwed him over, lol.

    I think the best thing that could happen if Mephiles gets restored to the timeline is if he ultimately wins in the next game. And then, the next-next game would be a continuation for how to defeat him and fix the main Sonic universe. Basically Mephiles would be like Thanos and would win in the first game, just like Thanos did in Infinity War. But then, the heroes would make a comeback in the second game and defeat Mephiles, just like how the Avengers restored the population of the entire universe and defeated Thanos in Endgame.
