We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

It was about that time that I realized the comic was not going in a direction I enjoyed. The art was looking bizarre, and the stories even weirder.

Yeah, that's probably around when the comic jumped the shark.

I've always liked that Eggman is a feminist. Like he's this woke dude whose nihilism got the better of him and he decided if humans won't be civilized and egalitarian then he'd just make a world of robots who'd be egalitarian. They don't have to pay him, just look like him.

Also, Sonic is the Merciry/Hermes of the New Aeon.

Robotnik \ Eggman is consistently the best character in anything Sonic related

Now that they're finally releasing another proper 2D Sonic game with Sonic Mania, now what they need to do is make a Dr. Robotnik Spinoff game.

Yes, I realize Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine exists, but that doesn't really count because it's just Puyo Puyo. That said, Puyo Puyo is great.

The reason why I am excited for Sonic Forces being post-apoc Eggman-has-won is that we get to see a lot more of him hamming it up.

Honestly, I feel that's the one area where Pontac and Graff excel - writing Eggman. Everyone else...? Not so much.

I will continue to hold out hope for Ian Flynn to get the job for one of these things, because he does everyone well.

I've been playing the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo on Switch with my friend a lot, and he asked if I played Puyo Puyo as a kid. (I should probably clarify at this point that this is in Japan and he's Japanese) Explaining Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine was hard. The basic exchange was something like:

Me: So you know Sonic the Hedgehog?
Him: That Sega character?
Me: Yeah. So the villain's name is Dr. Eggman
Him: Right.
Me: Except in the west, he used to be called Dr. Robotnik.
Him: Dr...What?
Me: In the US they changed the graphics to be about him and his factory where he turns the Puyos into robots, but the Puyos are called beans. It was called Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Him: What the gently caress is wrong with you people

It works super well from what I've seen. Yoshi's better suited for Sonic platforming than Sonic, funnily enough.

It's a lot less work replicating yoshi's movement and tounge mechanics in sonic 2 than it is to recreate the entirety of the levels, enemies and bosses from sonic 2 in Yoshi's Island.

Just saw a comment pointing out that in terms of premise, Forces is basically a follow-up to Sonic Chronicles, though obviously not an actual continuation (plus it has multiple Sonics).

It's a nice thought though; Chronicles ended on such a flat note, so it's an easy idea to fudge as head-canon.

I am guilty of thinking of Chronicles when seeing the Forces trailer myself. I hate what this series has done to my brain sometimes.

I don't have anything to add to this other than Sonic Chronicles is now objectively a Better game than Mass Effect: Andromeda and this is the most important accomplishment this game will ever make to me :911:
