@Ivafakename I mean if you're running around at the speed of sound and your every day commute is beset by corkscrews, three hundred feet sheer vertical drops into a ramp that flings you several miles across the landscape, loops and pinball bouncers, I'm pretty sure a paltry roller coaster is like "meeehhh. I could walk faster than this"
@Nine also eggman is constantly trying to destroy the earth and build a theme park, so there may be some kind of negative thoughts regarding them
@Ivafakename ...holy shit I forgot that Sonic Colors is literally Eggman making a space themepark and Sonic and Tails literally just trashing it because "eh fuck it why not lol he's probably up to something nefarious"... i mean, he IS but...
@Nine dude just wanted to build a theme park. If sonic had maybe started by suggesting some green alternatives to power the attractions and stuff, maybe Dr Eggman would have been an okay guy? Who knows...
@Ivafakename eggman tbf is the quintessential techbro billionaire tbqh.
@Nine I know but I love him and I like to think he'd actually be really nice if he worked on the whole "Take over the world and destroy the environment" thing
@Ivafakename it's probably because he never really stops to consider what he's doing and Sonic is done trying to explain it to him because every time he tries eggman takes it as a personal affront and launches into twitter tirades about it and slings personal slurs Sonic's way.
He's thoughtless because he thinks he's always right because "I have all the money so I can make the world better!!" and doesn't think any deeper than that.
@Nine yeah, a kind of "I have an iq of over 300 therefore I don't need to think or regard my feelings" kind of mentality
@Ivafakename the fact he describes himself as a feminist becomes a pretty stark red flag given his record with the environment. I suspect he's a "feminist" in the same way a lot of terfs are, sadly. :<
Id' like to be proven wrong tho. I just don't see it happening as he's way too Elon Musky.
@Ivafakename ...i now never want to have typed the words "Elon Musky" and wish I hadn't seen them with my own two eyes or thought them up oh god my soul can never be saved now
@Nine yeah, I'm sad to read those words and even sadder to hear them used to describe my favourite villain
@Ivafakename same ;; eggman is one of the few villains I really like too?
I just... worry a lot about the guy.
@Ivafakename I mean, games eggman that is. SatAM robotnik is a terrifying monster holy shit.
@Nine oh my fucking god yeah, he's bad, like, game sonic is a little self obsessed but holy fuck. He's less of a feminist than a Fedora wearing neckbeard, he has fewer brains than the robots he cobbled together, he lacks the style of the gentleman he's based on so badly he looks like he put on a hamster ball, rolled in some red pain, and then put on some pants and a belt, and he resembles more egg than man.
@Ivafakename uh... SatAM Eggman I mean not Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog eggman that's uh... wow that's a very different. SatAM Eggman is genuinely full evil genius villain, like... straight up siezed power as a dictator through GENUINE POLITICAL SHENANIGANS and then a perfectly executed military coup and implied assassination. Dude is not at all above murder, enslavement, and epxloitation of the populace. he's... yowza. surprisingly competent too
@Nine oh, I don't think I'm familiar, I'll have to double check that one
@Ivafakename yea AoStH is ...ridiculous and pretty awful and just... super noisy and distracting and it's just... Too Much.
SatAM is actually... surprisingly nuanced about its environmental message, has great humour, great characters, great story, great writing, even better animation, great MUSIC. it's just... really damn good.
and it's fucking criminal how it was shitcanned after two seasons for no reason other than ABC was like "nah can't be arsed any more"
