I'm amazed by this series, it makes Sonic so dark yet kid friendly in so many situations! Even I would have been traumatised if I were a kid. The expressions are so detailed and vivid, it makes my skin crawl.

[@KtotheJ524]

Dude this was more suffering to experience than watching mephiles kill sonic. I mean hats off to the writers for this. Every issue you hoped for things to get better but it kept getting worse and worse. Like you could tell Sonic was just so tired and just wanted to rest but he was 0.001 second away from being a zombot and he almost just said "i give up. Just let it happen" but out of sheer instinct he ran and woke up to his senses. Luckily the saga is getting better and theres hope if you just recently read the comics.

Conveying a story in a video game is a lot harder than in comic book. So even if they did, they can either do a really bad job or a really good job.

[@echotrash466]

It still hurts that Sega regressed Shadow by having him make the most obviously bad decision ever... Cuz we all know that Shadow's smarter than that. ( ≖  ͟ʖ ≖ ) but I wonder what Sonic and friend'll do next. Cuz it's starting to look like they might need to either find a cure that works, or maybe they'd have to do what most zombie media in tells. Which would be to probably nuke the most infected cities with bombs. But I'm more hoping for a long lasting cure mostly, cuz... I'd prefer it if innocent Mobians didn't get demonetized because of a stupid, smart scientist.

It was a great video, though the Metal Virus saga has been tearing me apart... even since Charmy got himself infected. Then we lost Shadow, then Vector, and Tangle. I don't know how long I can take this, I just want it to end soon. That, and I want Shadow's ass to be kicked super hard and be scorned and shunned for being an egotistical jerk, and for suggesting that an innocent person should die when he made a promise to Maria to give people a chance to be happy.

[@jamesscott5212]

DianeLionheart Sega just doesn’t care about Shadow they rehash Shadow so people can watch or play the Sonic cartoons and Games also did you know that Shadow was suppose to be dead at the end of Adventure 2 but fan service brought him back from the dead.

[@hukp818]

we lose cream in issue 27 if you havent read it

[@Person-mk7tk]

When the Zombots attacked Sonic and Eggman, Sonic nearly got fully converted and there’s a panel where he thinks to himself amongst all the chaos and contemplates what he’s done wrong. Then Sonic looks back at the horde behind him in shame and we can see here that he’s *scared*. He’s ashamed of himself for not doing what his friends told him to do. He destroyed the device Tails gave him to record his speed data for a cure, he’s nearly got himself fully converted and he’s destroyed the EggMobile so Eggman can’t control the bots but later Sonic finds out that destroying the Egg Mobile would make the virus uncontrollable.

[@adamations7622]

The metal virus, holy shit

[@madanotap6492]

Okay, so I know next to nothing about the sonic comics so feel free to explain if this makes more sense in context but… there are doubts that the metal virus is related to metal sonic? It’s literally called the metal virus and turns people into robot versions of themselves. Isn’t that like if there was a virus in the mcu called the hulk virus that made you green and strong? You’ve got to assume a connection.

[@TempestGhost]

Give Dr. Starline his credit for actually developing a Plan B for the Metal Virus. I mean, what is Eggman even planning to do in the 200 years? That faceship may sustain him and Starline, but not for 200 years.

[@rickygamingproductions]

If he actually had control over them. He could've ordered them to still make stuff like food and water. Though considering he didn't even plan a cure or vaccine against Metal Virus. He would have been infected eventually.

[@TempestGhost]

@@rickygamingproductions Plus if he asks them to make stuff, some of the organic material would be converted before it could be processed.

[@rickygamingproductions]

@@TempestGhost yeah cause it was confirmed early on. The Metal Virus infects Organic things. Not processed stuff like robots, foods and clothes (apart from the clothes of the Zombots themselves). Plus we saw, Metal Virus can infect plants as well. Such as trees. Silver's future is literally a Metal Virus infected world. Everything was Metal. So yeah, Eggman really thought things through didn't he.

[@DMlTREl]

​@@rickygamingproductions Main word there is "had", virus mutates making itself less and less controllable and studying it long enough i think it's pretty much possible for the metal virus to become airborne with certain conditions

[@rickygamingproductions]

@@DMlTREl Yeah, even Starline suggested that when he mentioned how careless Eggman is. "WHAT IF THERE'S A SPILL ON THE FACE SHIP. OR A MISHAP ON THE FIELD??? OR IT MUTATES AND BECOMES AIRBORNE!" As Eggman didn't make a cure or a vaccine, so he and Starline were just as vulnerable to the virus as Sonic and friends were

That should've been the plot for Sonic Forces before the comics were written. I know this sounds rough, but the gameplay can be interesting that the infected Sonic will have limited countdown of the rings unless more were collected until the level and stages are complete. If the rings reaches 0, then Sonic will get fully infected and it's game over. As for the Infinite plotline, how can I put this appropriately? Maybe it didn't feel the writer's spark (which is a term I made up for rating the plots, depending on the criticism). I think Infinite should be patient zero (that Eggman captured) as a primary target to catch for the cure that Tails can operate.

[@jamesscott5212]

Wait a second Eggman said that it would take 200 years until the Virus discontinue but I’m skeptical does the Zombats infest each other’s flesh because Sliver was from the future and was one of the survivors but basically the events of Sonic 06 might conclude despite the flames of disaster not occurring, I concluded that Sliver’s presence in Sonic’s time effected the course of History, in Sonic Colors DS Sliver described the future as Bright and Beautiful but now that Sliver is In the present he created a paradox in the time stream effecting the future in Sonic’s Timeline, This means their wouldn’t be no one from the current time that would stop the Virus unless the heroes gather up the Chaos Emerald’s so they can go back before the virus and kill eggman this means eggman from the present gets Thanos snapped and the Virus wouldn’t have happened hooray, I mean seriously why haven’t the resistance retrieved all of the Chaos Emeralds In Forces they wouldn’t have to save Sonic because we all now that Eggman wouldn’t kill sonic they would’ve had assistance from Sliver or Probably Shadow to get the Job done honestly the Ending of Forces should’ve been where the avatar saved Sonic well we can all admit that Sonic Forces had a horrible story with some okay ideas but keep in mind this is a theory a Game Theory and cut.
