Sox (Lightyear)

Sox is an orange robotic cat and Buzz's personal companion in the 2022 Disney/Pixar animated film, mh:awfulmovies:Lightyear. He is voiced by Peter Sohn.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) His merely cute and humorous personality clearly stands out from everyone else in the film.
 * 2) Much like many beloved comic relief characters such Bertram Winkle from Jessie and The Red Guy from Cow and Chicken: His personality is what brought light to the movie's grim and dead-serious theme and he practically steals the whole movie thanks to all of his cute and comedic traits. It's taken to the point where the movie would not be as hilarious or entertaining without him!
 * 3) He may be intended to be a "therapy pet", but he is much more than an adorable "emotional support companion". In fact, he is this movie's equivalent of R2D2/C3PO from Star Wars, especially due to them being skilled in technology-related traits and providing tons of quick quips.
 * 4) In the trailer for Lightyear, he seemed like he was going to be an annoying comic relief no viewer would care about, but he managed to change almost everyone's underestimations of him and he became a lot more lovable because of his comedic one-liners throughout the film.
 * 5) Despite being cute and comedic, he is very smart. He always questions Buzz for his actions, is always there to support Buzz thoroughly, and can sometimes be very empathetic to the point of comprehending the perspectives of both: Buzz, and the mini-squad of rookies Buzz sides with (i.e Mo and Darby).
 * 6) * He even guides
 * 7) Peter Sohn did a good job voicing him, giving him a layer of cuteness to his already adorable personality.
 * 8) He has so many useful and cool gadgets as a robot, these include him providing fuel to Buzz's ship from his tail that has a plug and making his mouth into a lighter to burn doors down.
 * 9) Him imitating robotic sounds while spinning his head and his meowing are very funny to listen to.
 * 10) He provides many funny one-liners and quick quips, for example, "Buzz, that was utterly terrifying and I regret having joined you."

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some viewers dislike and view his character and his design as being easily marketable in a subtle way.
 * 2) Due to all of the movie's disorganized issues and problems that it has, it makes absolutely no sense that Sox wouldn't be as marketable as the original Toy Story characters if he existed at the same time Buzz did.
 * 3) * He can be the source of plot convenience, which would take away more tension than the film's story needed to have.

Trivia

 * He is possibly based on Comet, a character from the canceled Circle 7 version of Toy Story 3 and the cat sidekick to the main antagonist of said version of the aforementioned movie, Daxx Blastar.
 * He bears a resemblance with Goose, the "cat" in Captain Marvel (2019) in the way that it is more dangerous than meets the eye and can "regurgitate" important items.
 * His tone of voice feels very similar to the HQ member Collie from mh:awfulmovies:Cats and Dogs, as seen in the scene where he told Butch about the mission.
