Wow nick, didn’t think you read my comment, but im glad you did. I’m the guy who made the comment about metal being “eggman’s sonic” and I audibly squealed when you mentioned it
Then let me at least pin this comment. I thought you made a fantastic point, thank you again for sharing.
Super well thought out comment, man.
Luck
@@Apro101 it wasnt luck, as one of the replies states, it was a detailed answer for a claim that got this comment pinned.
No mouth and must scream. Idk about you, but that is a reference
Big the cat: I am everywhere, anywhere, at any time. I WAS THERE
He is speed
It’s fun to think of Big as an Easter egg character, a big fun goofy guy to just look for in the background just fishing with his Froggy
According to Marvel, there's a Watcher (someone who monitors a universe) for every universe in the multiverse.
*What if Big is the Watcher for the Sonic universe?*
@@Blu_Moon_VA In marvel, it’s uatu the watcher. Big the watcher confirmed
@@Blu_Moon_VA but he doesn't pay any attention
"Hey Big Guy"
'Hey, little guy.'
Okay that's adorable and I love it.
The callback is so cute.
"Can you tell me who came fiiiiiirst"
I love how Big just exists, he is somehow everywhere you go, yet he never actually does anything, he's just there, its my favorite gag in this franchise
And also he can pick up and throw cars
@@M_Alexander and he's a master at using a fishing rod, what a lad
@@skinnywhitedude8765 Big the chad
@Hooty HOOT HOOT I would prefer if his age was unknown I think that be funny
Bro big hit his peak in sonic adventure 1 and has just existed ever since
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.
Metal Sonic "brain": _i've won but at what cost_
Metal was probably thinking at first "ha, I am immune, he is not" then "but if Eggman has a Zombot Sonic, where would _I_ fit?" to "Being immune makes sense, I am inorganic" to finally "I can't even suffer sonic's fate, and overcome it. He toils and troubles, not by my own hand, but Eggman's. I was created to defeat Sonic. If Sonic becomes lost, then there will be no need for me"
@@matthewwilliams8267 probably switch around “being immune” sentence with “but where would I fit” sentence, but other than structuring, you basically nailed it. It would be as you said- “I won, but at what cost?
Funny thing, that story is so vague, you could be right or wrong. I like to think Metal was just curious.
@@superdewott3209 But why would he be curious about that? His purpose and drive is to defeat/kill Aonic. Infecting himself with a virus (had it been able to kill him) would've been moot to that.
For Metal Sonic not talking, IDW could take him the Transformers Prime Soundwave route. Being mute from now on and making a big moment for when he decides to break the silence.
“Metal Superior, Sonic Inferior”
The Neo (Super Upgrade) version of Metal was already just that... In Sonic Heroes he legit tried to replace Eggman with a software version of himself as an update for the Eggman Empire...
The next time we hear from Metal will probably come like a tempest... I could see him using the Metal virus like a tool to "save the world" and keep it in check by linking it to his willpower... Only to then hear the screaming of his own soul through everything else but him...
Man I like soundwave he is such an interesting decepticon
@@ShibuNub3305 ahah

@@Mikey64 I'm glad I'm not the only one that still remembers Sonic Dimensions.
"Reflections" is my favorite story from the IDW comics thus far. Metal Sonic not speaking has always been one of his best characteristics, meaning his actions have to speak for him, and this story shows that in spades.
I legit cried when reading it
Like Soundwave in Transformers Prime

I just like to imagine Metal Sonic betraying Eggman and help the Resistance find a cure, not out of the goodness of his machine heart but just so Sonic doesn't become a Zombot and surpassing him even further.
Well... To Metal Eggman isn't just the one and only thing closest to a friend that he knows, he's more like a child like god that simply made him just to see if he could...
That being said Eggman has already made MANY mistakes with Metal... Perhaps chief among them is giving Metal a complete understanding of his own consciousness!
With that it's basically just a matter of time before Metal would deem the real Eggman as an aging relics of his own ambitions and replace him with a code of conduct for the Eggman empire...
Eggman effectively replaced himself in Metal's body! 🤦
@@Bakanineinstein I don't know much about Metal beside what I've seen in the games (which is not a lot) but it's an interesting thing to think about.
@@Gat720Dua Sorry yeah... Well truthfully THAT scenario is basically the plot of Sonic Heroes... Metal was updated to be Neo Metal (Super Form) and Eggman was dumb enough to install a complete understanding of himself should Metal get out of line...
Metal then took it upon himself to copy Eggman's DNA and from there he was trying to use the Eggman empire as though he was the Doctor... (Machine Logic believing that he now effectively was)
@@Bakanineinstein I played Sonic Heroes, I had to deal with annoyingly difficult stuff but it did introduce me to Omega.
@@Gat720Dua No kidding... The plot of Sonic Heroes is just about the only good thing about it to me...
Omega is also one of a handful of robots that has really GREAT potential that's left to be squandered by the jealous fool who made them...
You can't really blame Eggman at this point for watching over his own shoulder, but yeah if anything displays a potential he can't understand or control he's extremely quick to brush it off for anything he can...
Not sure if you have ever read or watched a video about the Mega Man and Sonic crossover, but yeah there comes a point where Eggman is enslaved by the character Sigma... (Basically the first artificial being to have a soul)
Kinda like a metaphor for his creations always having a higher potential to rule the world then he ever will...
I love that eggman has a man cave. This shows that even though he is a villain he is still a person. Plus metal sonic story after hearing that comment actually almost made me cry for him.
Metal Sonic's hesitation in touching the Metal Virus is so humanizing, but also consistent with his character.
Remember in Sonic Heroes; Metal Sonic is constantly living in fear.
The Nite the Owl and Don the Rooster seem to have a great "Odd Couple" relationship. They're like... night and day.
I really hope these two come back later as a cameo.
Bigs story genuinely had me tearing up towards the end of it all
I got more of a horror vibe from it
Yeah me to
It’s a comic book for kids about an obese feline walking around looking for his frog. Same bro
Metal: "What is my purpose?"
Eggman: "You fight Sonic."
Metal: *Looks at hands, and then down* "Oh my god..."

Obviously?
We... Are not through the worst of it yet
@@loopydoop6033 I was using the literal definition in reference to the content. In other words, everything had a horror theme, except for the Starline story which was oddly comical.
Overall, the comic was great.
@@GameApologist e x c u s e m e ?
OH BOY THE QUARTZ IS ON THE FACE
In the midst of all of this chaos and tragedy, Robotnik is in his lair playing with his dolls like Dark Helmet. That is truly a special kind of evil.
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?
Owl from Winnie the pooh
yes feed my game apologist addiction.
Metal Virus was uh…something…..something depressing.
Everybody died
Metal Sonic’s Story in the Annual is my favorite and things like that is something I’ve always wanted to see in the games(Details that show him that he’s aware that he’s a Clone of Sonic)
Yeah I always found it weird that when you fight Metal Overlord in Heroes, he refers to Sonic as "my loathsome copy". Does he not know that he was created for the sole purpose of imitating Sonic? Is he programmed to think that Sonic is actually the fake version of him? Whichever it is, I'm all for it
"Heroes" had that taken to it's logical extreme: He's bluntly driven himself mad trying to best Sonic, to the point he both acknowledges he's a clone yet claims *he's* the real Sonic. And, even better, no matter how you want to look at both versions of Metal, both seem to endgame on one goal: To be out of Sonic's shadow.
"KTBR".
That's such a subtle joke, I love it. Kintobor.
That's a really fun annual. I really did love the Eggman's day off story. It's a lot lighter-hearted but I think it's a nice glimpse into Eggman's personality and a little bit of the Mr Tinker side coming through again. The clearly "metal" designs are also really neat, too.
I did not realize that until now...
An alternate version has been made of the moment where eggman remembers everything, but he chooses to remain as mr Tinker. Don’t know if it’s official but it was interesting.
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!
Big: oh yeah that battle on angle island was rough
Everyone: *confused stares*
Yep.
Metal still has depression. Someone give him a hug...
It looks like Eggman’s sonic toys are based off the discontinued Jazzwares Sonic figures!
Because they are
Those were the best
@@CallmeKeyiii They were fragile af tho 😕
@@boxinthejack2166 Stop manhandling them ig
@@CallmeKeyiii I remember buying Classic Sonic and Tails, their joints could barely move for shit, you had to loosen them up a bit, and when I tried to turn Tails’ tails, after a bit of a struggle they snapped right off... ouch
"Are your sensors malfunctioning?! I said GET OUT!"
Easily my favorite sentence so far in this series.
Big the Cat side story was mix of heart warming and creepy too. The art really sells the devastation of the metal virus and that finale panel of big and frogy was super creepy. It was a surprisingly great read.
17:20 that kind makes me think about Shard from Archie. Eggman did not know about what makes sonic so powerful. However, when Uncle Chuck ( someone who was close to to sonic ) fixed him up, Shard was better than he was before. Shard represents what will happen if metal gets out of Sonic’s shadow and makes his own destiny. Not as clone but someone who is his own person.
God, yes! Props to sonic universe #50 for showing off this dynamic perfectly. Not coincidentally, also written by Ian Flynn
CURSE YOU PENDERS
I will forever lament what could have been
I loved Shard and was so upset he couldn't come back
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.
They could get the best writers around to write the perfect story for Big the Cat, yet still you'd get all the Sonic haters and detractors going "NOOO, I DON'T LIKE STINKY BIG THE CAT, GET RID OF HIM, REEEE!" And eventually, Sega will oblige, because these seem to be the kinds of people Sega are trying to appease these days!
@@bowmaj8666 it is what it is.
To me, Big isn't really that interesting of a character. I only began to like the big guy thanks to Ian's writing.
Outside that...I personally like Big as a background character, not a main one 😅
@@superdewott3209 eh, fair enough.
He reminds me of Lenny from Of Mice and Men.
this metal sonic plot is almost as good as Kameo: Elements of Power
The adrenaline dub's metal sonic one hits different
I've never been a big Metal Sonic fan, but his part of the Annual might be one of the most thought-provoking story moments in the Sonic franchise. Made me feel sympathetic for him for once.
I believe the Red/Super Metal Sonic at 19:18 is a reference to Metallix, who was a major villain in the Fleetway comics.
19:40 we used to have that but the figures has been discontinued for a long time.
And good riddance, to be honest. They weren't any good to begin with.
The general Sonic character design doesn't lend itself for good conversion into a good action figures, sadly. Joints don't look good on such a thin limbs, and big heads make figures waaaaaaaay top-heavy to even just stand upright on their own, let alone be posed in any way.
I still feel buyer's remorse 10 years later, but I just love Sonic way too much to get rid of them.
@@WindigoTP Mine were totally fine, I haven't had any trouble standing them up (unless they were bought from Toys R Us where for some reason they were looser than ragdolls in the Source engine), the real problem was how fragile they were, several of my figures were either decapitated or outright mutilated after a single drop and had to be fixed with superglue which murdered possibility.
I never thought of Metal Sonic like that. The way you described him just makes so much sense in hindsight.
The radio birds story in particular is a great idea
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.
I cried at that last panel with Big covered in the Metal Virus telling Froggy that he's finally home. I love Big the Cat so much! 😭😭😭
Honestly, going forward I do hope we get some Resident Evil style call backs to the Metal Virus. Like a side story of what happened to the police or a HUNK like character. I’d love to see that
You wanna talk about good characterization?
Why Sonic Heroes Matters
the lil urban rescue ranch clip is much appreciated
I kinda personally like how little they do with metal sonic since it makes it more fun to think about potential stuff they could do :p
17:00 if Sonic never had 90s attitude and took after Mario, he would just be a fleshy version of Metal Sonic fighting for nature instead of your least favorite eggy boi.
Then again, Sonic's attitude in the West is different from Japan.
Toys like that do exist but they are rare. One of my old friends had a Sonic toy just like that.
The IDW comics are some of the best written sonic stuff ever. With the games it's mostly mediocre with good moments here or there but, with the IDW comics this is just genuinely good stuff in general not just "good for sonic standards" it's straight up good as in I would unironically share this with people who aren't sonic fans.
Shiro and Kiyoko Yoshimura def do a better job with the story amd characters imo.
The comics are mostly fine but the branding for characters like shadow, silver, and knuckles still dont feel one to one.
Especially during the virus arc.
And the arc itself was a bit repetitive with plotholes
That why I started reading sonic comics
I genuinely wish. They made Sonic animation, games. Just like the Sonic Metal Virus story
...I kinda wonder what the Metal Virus goop feels like, though?
Like...It looks incredibly satisfying to squish...
I believe the metal virus goop has the same consistency of liquid mercury.
(Befitting that since both are dangerous)
19:38
ayo i actually own some figures that look dead accurate to the sonic one here
i got sonic, tails and knuckles, rotating torsos and all
knowing they referenced those in the idw comics among other things puts a smile on my face
In regards to the metal sonic short, it is the epitome of the phrase: "A picture is worth a thousand words!"
"Metal Sonic is just Sonic without a soul" Sonic Rivals 2 Metal Sonic disagrees with you sir.
Would you say that as a fact, that he has the exact same soul as sonic? He may gain one of his own, he may develop personality in a way that is similar to the hedgehog he is copying. But he truly isn’t sonic. When they reference to “Metal sonic is just sonic without the soul.” Try to See it from eggmans’ perspective. He has seen Sonics’ strength, he’s SEEN the hedgehogs’ speed. He has BUILT a robot that is supposed to match him in every way. He sees in sonic what he can utilize, but he doesn’t UNDERSTAND sonic the hedgehog. Doesn’t UNDERSTAND what makes the blue blur the way he is. NO amount of bot building and modeling will get eggman any closer to understanding his arch-nemesis.
@@lanluhylrean1122 but i also like metal,Not exactly as a villian but as a character of his own,Even shown when he overthrows eggman and does his own thing
@@Mephiles343 True. Especially when it takes into account Sonic Heroes and Sonic rivals 2. Metal sonic tries to push his own agenda, while having eggman imprisoned. and when Metal sonic ripped the chaos emerald out his core for shadow to use... Eggman may speak through his mouth, but I think eggman would have kept that secret to the grave to neutralize one of his threats. Can't stop him if you are stuck in another dimension.
I honestly really like ALL of these stories equally. The Metal one stood out to me though, because it really shows his personality well. I really like how he’s portrayed in the comics.
I think I just like how Metal only speaks whenever he's NEO Metal Sonic, since now he's out of Eggman's control, he develops his own goals and takes on a literal new persona to be the "real sonic," to become what he couldn't and can't anymore. If Metal Sonic is Sonic without the soul, then NEO is Metal Sonic WITH the soul.
Y'know, there were dark moments in the Archie comics, alongside compelling characters, well developed arcs, and storytelling with depth. They showed us Sonic could give adult (not that kind) storytelling. But this...oooooffff. Your delivery is making this across as DREADFUL. There is this foreboding sense of nononoNONONO creeping inexorably onward.
I absolutely loved the IDW Transformers (Lost Light in particular!) and this is another solid entry.
Kudos to you, good sir, and kudos to the IDW staff!
You know this zombot thing reminds me of Roboticization in am way. Except, more extreme.
FINALLY I waited for this!!!
Edit: I think that little eggcave bit is just to lighten things up a bit. You see poor innocent Big get infected with the metal virus after finally finding his lost friend, the dark tones of the story with the radio cast and the inevitable infection. I think the reader could use a laugh now and then
Zombot Charmy in the rain looked so cool, I’d love a sonic horror manual spoof
That little Metal Sonic story is probably my favorite story with him. An excellent showcase of show dont tell. He has so much to tell without actually saying anything
Looking forward to you getting to Belle, particularly with the heart wrenching interaction with Eggman in this last issue.
Same. Next issue has me legit hyped to see the deadly six again since they were written so well
Fun Fact: Andes, the font used in the Sonic 3 Zone title cards, is also used in ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ both for some of its varying logo and for a few of the show’s episode title cards, thus strengthening the Batman reference with the Egg Cave.
Poor Big, becoming infected because saving his friend.
And Metal´s story said a lot, even tough there was only a couple of dialogues
THE URBAN RESCUE RANCH REFERENCE WAS KIIING
Can we talk about the "Hey, big guy! Hey, little guy!" reference?
Can you tell me who came first?
Love these speed readings even better at bedtime.
I definitely remember the chat between you and pup on the topic of metal, and Reflections still makes me sure that even a silent metal can give us a bunch of character depth if utilized well. Hopefully the comic gives us more of him.
We do actually have this kind of figures I had a lot as a kid with the rotating torso and everything
did you make a "I DONT HAVE A MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM" reference? nice xD
Man I've really enjoyed these speed readings. Great work man!
Not sure if its Night or Knight and Dawn or Don, but I can totally see these two becoming a duo where Night is like the navigator to Don as he goes out to save people. That would make for a good spinoff.
They‘re called Nite and Don, which are puns on night and dawn
i was expecting ridge when he started talking about wallet
I remember getting this annual not too long ago, and boyyyy this comic was an absolute treat to read for the first time. The panels and art were absolutely amazing.
Thank God I'm happy with a new video from one of my favorites 💗
The more I read IDW stuff the more I want a 2D animated series of it with Ian Flynn in charge of writing or him writing for games for the love of god I don't care what mandates he has to go through the end result would still be waay better.
i imagine the idw as an animated show everytime i read it. It's so vivid and expressive in its art and manages to have a perfect tone for the franchise. I'd love to see an adaptation.
I Understand Why people like the Silent Version of Metal Sonic. But if to me if he has a Super Big Role in the Arc i wouldn't mind him talking. I still love his Lines from Sonic Heroes as it was the First indication of how Metal Was Really feeling that still stick with me to this day.
Metal Sonic: I was created for the sole purpose of destroying you, but I can never seem to defeat you. That is why I rebuilt my own body with my own hands. See me as I am, no longer afraid of anything.
Metal Sonic use to be Afraid? I felt That. While Kicking his Butt in Super Sonic mode
This is the only channel that I watch as soon as they upload. Keep up the great work Nick!
i see what you're doing
trying to avoid talking about the Deadly Six
Didn’t expect to see an urban rescue ranch clip here lol
*God* I love Metal Sonic as a character. It's sad that almost every time he gets personality, he gets destroyed in the same day. #MetalSonicHasAHeart
See's Notification
Me: Well ... screw sleep lol
If a normal zombbot is a pain to deal with image a raging zombot big the cat. That would be a terrifying surprise powerhouse.
when you got to that one with Starline, Eggman, and the Eggcave, it made me think. I can't be the only person who voices Starline like a James Bond villain, can I? Like, there's got to be other people out there, who saw the suit, the gloves, and the glasses, and just somehow defaulted to voicing him like a Bond Villain
16:32 I know this reference. Very cool.
My metal boi is feeling left out of mortality
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 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.
My man got a sponsor. Well done. You deserve it man.
16:31 was beautifully delivered. Describes Metal perfectly.
I love that they got around the whole no romance mandate by having Don and Nite be a couple from the start.
Omg... I never cared much for Big, but that story kinda got me feeling some things.
And the one with metal sonic- silence is beautiful. Then my boi Starline ruined it. But nonetheless, most of these are absolutely amazing!
Even the Chaotx one
4:42 Marsupilami is a character in the sonic universe confirmed.
What an awesome but random reference.
My interpretation of the Eggcave comic, because I think it is way more potent than you gave it credit for:
Starline, a character who looks up to Eggman as an equal, and as an idol. But of course, he has his doubts. He should. He’s proven that the doctor isn’t exactly the best at execution of plans. He’s not aware of it, but the seeds of doubt have been planted in his mind about his one idol.
Eggman shows Starline his collection of figurines. I think this is representative of the way he views his enemies and peers. He knows that he has power over others, and can easily take over the entire world if he really gave it his all. Sonic, and every one of his friends are just toys to him. Little pastime playthings that he can break and play with however he wants. Now take this metaphor into consideration when Starline turns his head to find...
A Starline figurine
Even though the hopeful younger doctor wished to fight along side his idol, wishing tirelessly for his respect and admiration, his heart slightly sinks when he realizes the simple fact. Eggman thinks of the entire world as his play set. And despite Starline wanting to be his one true pupil, he is no different from
every other toy on his collection. Just another person to be played with, and tossed out when the doctor gets bored.
On its own, it’s a little silly. But for the characterization of Eggman and the development of Starline’s rebellious actions, I think it’s something special.
I feel like Metal Sonic should be able to speak; just not speak. Unless it is to Sonic, only Sonic. Because he is a mimic of sonic, a "imperfect" copy... So he can speak to Sonic, because Sonic just understands him, at least... Partly. I dunno. Metal not speaking, is a super interesting take. One I am not against. just the Sonic OVA with Metal in it, and Metal speaking in that... Him being able to speak just feels normal. But I can understand why him not speaking is powerful. He should never be allowed to ramble. Because why would a robot ramble, unless made to ramble. Metal is made to kill... and be Sonic. Sonic talks all the time. So metal talking at times when trying to be Sonic, to best Sonic. Makes sense... But him lacking that... also makes sense as to why he is not. I dunno. I am fine with Metal as long as he looks and can be a threatening foe. 'Cause Metal CAN beat Sonic; he is just unable to best him in the long run.
He can speak, he just needs an upgrade.
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 thought Metal took the Virus slipping off him like this:
"Sonic is weak to this, I am not. I am therefore, the superior sonic."
19:36 i had a small sonic toy that looked EXACTLY like that one even swivels at the same part in his chest/Hip?
These stories are absolutely great. Fantastic. Always enjoy hearing you commentate in them.
I found the channel like yesterday and I´m enjoy the reading of the comics so much. I love the energy and how excited you sound in funny moments of the comics, I can´t help but laugh
Big the cat is everywhere, always just like in the adventure games
Just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. It's been fun going through your videos and the nostalgia.
Really great video! I love these deep dives of the story!
I loved that big the cat spent his final moments looking at the sun with his freind froggy. It's like of mice and men, with lenny looking out at the sunset with his friend george. It's bittersweet and I absolutely love it.
