Crackshit theory/prediction part 2

So, following from here, let’s asume that if there’s a Sonic 5, it’s a Sonic 06 inspired story

Now, that includes Mephiles and Iblis, one of the two already in the movie universe by…

This might look like it messes up with 06 lore badly but let me present to you:

OK SO HEAR ME OUT-

Let me ask you something, have we ever seen movie Knuckles cry? EXACTLY.

And hey, both red characters, why not? I mean this is an easy way to avoid introducing Elise (I’m not hating on her. I’m just saying that- in an hypothetical Sonic 06 inspired movie, you’re already introducing mephiles and silver, reducing characters makes everything easier and better)

And lets be honest, it’s way harder to make Knuckles cry than Elise, so if the flames of disaster rules work the same then it’ll make the plot more interesting

Also how I imagine an hypothetical Sonic 5 movie inspired by Sonic 06 (this is less of a theory and more of my dream movie) (dream movie as in literally I dreamed about this) (I’m just detailing my dream in a coherent way)

Silver goes independently from Mephiles after Knuckles because he knows he has the flames if disaster, but mistakenly assumes that if he kills him his world will be saved

But that’s not convenient for Mephiles, because the flames of disaster need to be released by tears or else his plan won’t work, so he teams up with Silver and convinces him that the actual iblis trigger is Sonic. Because hey, those two are friends, right? He keeps the echidna alive and gets potential tears, two birds of one stone

And then stuff happens, I imagine that Shadow managed to independently from the rest make Silver realize he’s being manipulated and ditch Mephiles, so ups now he gotta do the dirty job himself (like in the game)

So then near the end of the movie we get

But hey, plottwist, Knuckles actually doesn’t cry. He’s upset? More than anything. But again, not easy to make a warrior cry

So anyways Silver is like “Oh god what have I done” and goes up to knuckles to give him an apology for helping killing his friend. They get a heart-to-heart chat like Sonic and shadow did in Sonic 3- but another plot twist, that makes the guy cry and suddenly the flames of disaster are released

Anyways they revive Sonic because power of friendship and the master emerald and insert boss fight

The end

Mephiles the Mind, Iblis the Heart

Basically a breakdown of how I interpreted 06 but also a foundation I use for all my AUs.

Mephiles is highly intelligent and apathetic while Iblis relies on emotion and is more like a wild animal. Mephiles does not have full access to Solaris' time powers, but Iblis does. However, Iblis does not have the mental capacity to actually use them.

Things that are less “interpretive” and more “theory”:

This is why Iblis needed a powerful emotion to be released

In the original timeline, the one which led to Silver’s future, it was Elise’s death which released Iblis. Because the seal was broken improperly, Mephiles could not recombine with Iblis. Therefore, he would need to look for a different way, but he can’t with Sonic being there and being an obstacle (not while Mephiles is still weak). Hence why he brought in Silver—a powerful hedgehog determined to save his future no matter the cost—who is also a completely new factor to change the timeline. Silver would keep Sonic busy while Mephiles figured out how to properly release Iblis… Since letting her die didn’t work last time. When Silver began figuring out the charade, Mephiles didn’t care enough to try hard with his manipulations, especially if it meant Silver would help keep Elise alive. However, once Mephiles realized the way to release Iblis was via an extreme emotion from Elise well… how convenient that the Princess grew attached to a certain blue hedgehog. Turns out killing Sonic really was the key all along. And if you want something done right… you gotta do it yourself.

Essentially (to explain Mephiles’ weird planning in canon), Mephiles did not know the seal was reliant on Elise’s emotions in the beginning, so he sends Silver to distract Sonic while he figures out how to actually free his other half. How ironic that killing Sonic is indeed what needs to happen. Mephiles basically has a “wait, it’s actually that simple?” moment

The strong emotion can be anything—grief, anger, joy, fear—it just has to be strong. Like a “consuming your mind” kind of strong.

The original explosion which killed Elise was too sudden for any strong emotion to pop up. (Even in her last moments, she had faith Sonic would save her.)

Mephiles is the mind while Iblis is the heart. Only once combined does Mephiles—or Solaris now—actually feel feelings. However, Solaris is still adjusting after the disoriented episode of being literally split in two and so acts completely on his anger toward mortals for taking advantage of him.

At the end of 06, Solaris isn’t destroyed but rather is scattered/subdued, and everyone will already be long gone by the time Solaris’ pieces are reunited. Like “after Dark Gaia and Light Gaia have restarted the planet” kind of long time. They are gods after all. Time is different for them.

The rest of this is sparked from my “Trinity Gods” fanon. Aka, Gaia, the Master Emerald, and Solaris are the three gods who created Earth, as well as any planets prior to Earth. The Master Emerald is also called “Mother Chaos”.

While Gaia slumbers, Mother Chaos and Solaris watch over the planet to protect it. During Earth’s creation, Mother Chaos took on a physical form (ie. The Master Emerald) to live on Earth amongst its creatures. Curious about all Mother Chaos learned whilst living amongst mortals, Solaris decided to also take on a physical form and live amongst them. However, this meant limiting his ability to see the future—or rather which future would come true. Thus, Solaris did not see what the humans planned on doing with him until it was too late.

Gaia and Mother Chaos are A-Okay with Solaris destroying the planet. I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time one of them has, after all. It’d be a bummer for it to end so soon, but they can just make another one. It’s because of this that they don’t interfere with Solaris’ plot… as well as the fact that their creations had hurt their friend.

It’s also this familiarity that means the Chaos Emeralds will so easily obey Mephiles. Doesn’t matter who posses them or if they’re on the other side of the planet, if the gods call, they answer.

Sonictober 2024 Day 25! Theme: Memory. Inside this tiny flame is untold amounts of death and destruction, but also the only true happiness the princess has ever felt. Can she truly be asked to snuff it out for the sake of a world that has only brought her pain?

Before the second Sonic Movie was released I saw several AUs and fics where Maria found Shadow in a trash can and essentially sorta adopted him

And since those AUs are 100% impossible with the rest of the movies in mind…

Why not switch out Shadow and Maria with Mephiles and Elise?

[princeofheartsss]

I think it’s just sank in that since iblis was confirmed canon to the movie universe, there’s a possibility (maybe even a probability) that silver will appear in the movie universe sometime in the future and that makes me happier then anything ever

I HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE I NEEDDDD

ALLERT ALERT TRIGGERR DETECTED

[sonicthehammons]

Now that it's been a week I can finally post this

[radiantrookie]

Late Sonic Movie 3 thoughts and predictions

Knuckles still has the Flames of Disaster so Silver finna murder his ass in a future movie

If I Am all of Me or Throw it All Away has to play in the movie, this is the scene

Donut Lord is either wearing a disguise or he's been promoted to a GUN Agent, also I don't think he'll die in this movie, at most he'll prolly be severely injured

Considering Jim Carrey's retirement and the fact that the 2000s Sonic formula will get redundant in movie formula, Robotnik and Stone will prolly get redeemed-ish in this movie

Space Colony Ark is a lot smaller in the Movieverse

Gerald Robotnik is the twist villain of this movie, he'll deceive the group into helping him, with Robotnik blindly believing him until he reveals he's not only working with Shadow but also manipulating him, he'll end up realeasing the Biolizard or something else

After Shadow remembers his true promise to Maria, Sonic and Shadow both go Super and defeat Gerald and/or the Biolizard, however Shadow ends sacrificing himself, Gerald either dies or gets arrested, the movie ends with everyone going home and Robotnik telling Stone he'll be a greater man than his grandfather

"Where one is all"

All hail the almighty Jesus Pigeon! (and Mephiles and Iblis too, I guess)

[theknucklehead]

The Flames of Disaster is my most favorite episode of the Knuckles series because of the video game references and how creative they get with the performance.

That and also the inclusion of Michael Bolton which made me laugh so much.

“There, amongst all the foliage, was a mural Knuckles had never seen before. As he studied the stone, he realized it was older than echidna civilization, depicting multiple civilizations all worshiping figures unknown to him. On it, the cut gems gleamed in the sun… all but one. The scorch marks and cracks… it was as if the red gem itself erupted in a blaze and split the white figure into pieces.”
