The wind is a Gary Stu. And the Gary Stu is the character of convenience.
Everything is extremely convenient for the Wind. He is powerful, but he doesn't work hard for it. How convenient. He is seen as moral, but he doesn't abide by any moral system except his own personal hedonistic pleasures. How convenient. He is never in any position or situation where his worldview is wrong or insufficient, so he never needs to self-reflect. How convenient.
It's almost like this isn't a story in a true sense. As in, a collection of events in the plot that a character has to react to.
No no no. This seems like the opposite. Like the plot itself exists to serve the character. Like the world itself bends to never create anyone who disagrees with the wind, never put the wind in a situation where he is wrong, never make the wind fight a foe stronger than him, and never have the wind fail at anything he sets his mind to.
And we all know the real world doesn't work like that. It's almost like this isn't an inspirational story meant to motivate people by having them relate to the character's struggles. No, it's almost like a perfectly convenient world made to serve a single character, like some sort of escapism, so people can flee from the extremely inconvenient world we live in.
But what if that ends? What if someone, a very based Egg guy creates a story where Sonic ISN'T naturally the strongest? Where the world DOESN'T abide to his every whim? Where he IS punished for whatever wrong choices he makes?
All Sonic has is the world. That's all the value he brings. So if I take away that convenient world, he will have nothing, and he will have to find something else to give to others. He will have to become a real ACTUAL hero. THAT is his redemption.
