Digital Circus Episode 9 drops on Youtube and Netflix tomorrow
They haven’t revealed who the mysterious antagonist is and if there are two villains working together. But I would be ecstatic if that theory is true.✨
I do hope we’ll get to see him again in the future. I also believe that in IDW, Infinite and Starline are actually working together to achieve their goal and get their revenge on, not only Eggman, but also Sonic and his friends. “But that’s just theory. A SONIC THEORY!”
It really shows that any character that’s been made fun of by fans in the past (like Zavok as an example), will get a second chance to return by bringing the right writers to make a better writing for them. And Infinite will always be my favorite Sonic villain, no matter what.
Again, I’m really happy that Infinite’s back and I think they did a great job at reintroducing him and made him sound more menacing and psychotic in the Chaotix Casefiles, which he should’ve been in Forces.
And despite how powerful and edgy Infinite is, deep down, he is insecure about his own ability, believing that he’s not as strong as he thinks he is despite his actions showing otherwise. And his greatest strength as a character comes from his insecurity.
I don’t think he needed to be fixed or reimagined, he just needed to be reintroduced with better writing and explanation of his motivations and backstory.
Despite how poorly written Sonic Forces’ story was, I still think Infinite is a great villain and I’m glad that he’s getting the recognition that he deserves.
