>Sonic teams up with Eggman to fight a kaiju representing some concept like "the inevitability of death" that destroyed some ancient civilization
>this isn't elaborated through the story but instead via Gerald's journals redacted like SCP articles or throwaway lines in TailsTube with inconsistent lore hastily researched from the Sonic wiki
>they have no connection to the central themes like Chaos or the Biolizard; they're just a monster and Sonic beats the shit out of them

I'm not optimistic about the future of storytelling in this franchise if it's done by Sonic Team. This is formulaic Adventure-era cargo cult bullshit.
