Metal Sonic praised in new Sonic: Memories and Beyond short

With the release of Sonic the Hedgehog: Memories and Beyond, Metal Sonic’s single fight sequence has become the moment everyone is talking about. The short shows Metal stealing Sonic’s life force and then ruthlessly dominating the main cast, a sequence viewers describe as ‘boxing’ and watching him ‘mop the floor’ with Sonic and company. Commenters praise the animators and GXS productions for the kinetic, jaw dropping visuals, and many read Metal’s sudden autonomy as a moment of self determination and a trans resonant narrative where he overturns Eggman’s role for himself.
