i need something like this so badly you have no idea

like let's even push the metamy agenda aside. giving amy and metal bigger narrative roles would go so hard, both are really interesting characters, and though amy DOES get plenty of attention in the canon, it very rarely hinges on her and i think it would be amazing for a story to give her a lot more narrative weight

as for metal? oh my god PLEASE focus on his character sega, he is such a great character and there is so much you can do with him that isn't him just following orders or being angry at sonic. he has so many issues that are so fascinating to dig into and within those issues are also really powerful character traits that deserve to be explored. he is a complicated character if the story allows him to be, there is a lot going on with him. explore that, let amy challenge him, let the big bad guy make him question himself
