dare i say.. mood?
Someone tell my why Toni Braxton gets me TURNT ALL THE WAY UP
Honestly my favorite concept of Eggman is the idea of him as someone who is terrifyingly competent- as an engineer, as a pilot, as the kind of person who can sell water to a fish- but is also just. full-tilt, genuinely ridiculous because he holds himself to a weird but incredibly specific set of standards. He’ll take hostages, threaten to detonate cities, say things like “as long as I can strangle a Zeti, my hands are just fine” and mean it.
But at the same time- this oddly chivalrous person, where, Tails and Sonic both know they can count on it that if Eggman’s abducted someone, that hostage will be fed and taken care of- and they find that hostage utterly unharmed and pretty much complaining about the room service.
Mostly I like it because it honestly ropes Sonic and Eggman into this interesting dance as people who are in some sense, diametrically opposed- Eggman, who’s obstinately concerned with his own order to the point that nothing offends him more than senseless destruction; and Sonic, for whom nothing is more important than personal freedom, even if that’s the freedom to wither and die on one’s own time.
But in another sense- they’re really two of a kind: these virtually unstoppable forces of nature- someone whose raw athleticism cannot be matched by man or machine and who can cut through industrial-strength steel like a living buzzsaw vs. an unparalleled genius who has invoked and manipulated ancient gods, unholy monsters from beyond time, and just about everything in between.
And yet, both are people who, for lack of a better word, believe in playing nice, at least insofar as their standards of being ‘nice’ go. Of course in Rush, Nega, who’s used to dealing with the much more tenacious Blaze, thinks that Sonic is a complete joke- because Sonic is literally able to break the sound barrier on foot but he’ll let Nega limp off with a barely frustrated little irritated finger snap, “Oh, darn, I guess he got us that time.”
Sonic and Eggman are old school super-powered nemeses- the kind that pick fights and the stakes are high, but, on a level, both of them are kind of keeping the gloves on. Neither of them really wants to cut it short. Sonic’s not the type who can really stand to retire as a hero- there’s something very proud and content about the way he says things like “Oh, I deal with stuff like this all the time” or lists off some of his weird adventures. Colors shows us that if things are too quiet for too long Sonic literally goes looking for trouble. And both Sonic X and SA2 show us that Eggman without Sonic is equally unhappy- even if it’s his fault. Even if he could get so much more work done just pulling the trigger and wiping Sonic out. Part of him would really rather not, and not just because Sonic’s a dang good failsafe to have when something like Chaos goes awry.
And a point made fairly frequently is that the few times Sonic or Eggman make the decision to take something completely seriously, they’re both terrifying. God help you if you step on both of their moral creeds at once and motivate them to team up against you.
In cars two at the airport the cars have to go through tsa checks and take off their wheels and stuff which implies the cars Universe had a 9/11
Wait. Oh my god. But planes are sentient in the cars universe. Did cars hijack the plane or did the planes fly themselves.
Nobody knows
