The End

Yeah, I know it can take whatever shape it wants but I feel like they could've done something more interesting than just the moon with a purple aura around it.

Also on a sort of unrelated note, we should've gotten a proper boss fight with the end in space and not just space invaders or just a repurposed Supreme fight

Keep it short, we don't want a million word essay on our hands.

Mine is that Sonic was an ai created by the ancients on accident due to a starfall storm hitting the Tornado and creating Sonic's ai, but then he got gaslit by the End into thinking that the ancients were bad people and ended up killing a lot of them before running off with the Tornado. Sonic then spent a few thousand years flying around in a trance, eventually blocking his own memories out, before finally getting shot out of the sky by Eggman.

Yes I'm weird. No I will not explain (at least not for a good while). Deal with it.

I said it before in comments, but with Sonic X Shadow Generations having MEPHILES, the literal MIND OF SOLARIS, outright say he wants to REINTEGRATE HIMSELF INTO THE TIMELINE and EXIST?

Yeah, no, his whole plan in 06 was an ignorant self-destructive tantrum. Hands down.

His plan was to collapse time into nothingness; a void. The Time Eater erases time and space, rendering what it erases a void. Mephiles, Iblis, and Solaris are all inexistant in White Space.

Either Solaris would be POWERLESS after success and easy pickings for, say, the literal sentient all-consuming void at the beginning and end of existence since time - the literal source of his power - wouldn't exist anymore.

Or Solaris would be rendering himself inexistant through his own actions.

Both of which are VERY heavily implied in SXS.

He was doomed if he won and doomed if he lost.

Solaris is ultimately an expression of the futile and self-destructive nature of sadistic, nihilistic, and myopic sociopathy, and how even those who SHOULD be able to see how that ends DON'T and ensure their own demise.

Suns die, lights fade, space empties, time ends, reality becomes unreality, the finite depletes, the infinite abstracts, and All is Null and Void.

Gods are ultimately bound to their mythologies and scopes. No matter how much they try to claim and make it seem otherwise, they too WILL die and become nothing.

Inexistence is inescapable. To fight it is to delay it. It's better to make peace with it and live fully in the time that you have until THE END. Like Sonic.

Solaris was so focused on his sadistic rage, nihilistic vengeance, and myopic whims that he, THE GOD OF TIME, failed to do so and tried to EXPIDITE the end for his own pleasure. Not realizing until it was too late that he was playing himself more than anyone else.

As a result, everything is literally better off without him.

A dark and tragic fate, but one he literally asked for and worked towards.

Well, we know that Chaos was a mutated Chao thanks to the Master Emerald’s radiation, which gave him powers to control water, and Sonic Fromtiers revealed that both Chaos and the Chao were direct descendants of the Ancients who came to Earth with the Chaos Emeralds after The End destroyed their planet. The Final Horizon revealed that there were five tribes of the Ancients, with the survivors being the intelligent ones, and Sage revealed that the symbol in the sky is the symbol of the God of the Ancients.

So here’s my theory…

What if… said God created both Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald, and used the Master Emerald’s powers to evolve Chaos as the deity's avatar…?

Crazy I know…

Shadow is able to fight against metal overlord, and Metal overlord is way stronger than super sonic in sonic heroes, to the point that he needed the team work power to beat metal overlord.

You know what that means?

That the growth of this guys is so strong that even if Solaris was the strongest in the game continuity by 2006, currently, he could be beaten easy by Super Sonic in generations (with the problem of him being omnipresent and inmortal the only real reason for him being imposible to defeat).

And The End is the strongest villain currently, boom, no feat about DESTROYING EVERYTHING.

Pure scaling, the only thing you need.

Are we still using that source to confirm Solaris is the strongest in the franchise according to Ian Flynn and that the end is the second.

Ignoring the fact that he said this before final horizon, and he also contradicts it by saying ''the end is the second strongest''and he also thinks is only able to destroy a planet, but we have time eater destroying space and time and he is not considering the second strongest.

Seriosly, just, don't use it.
