Most villains have a good reason why they are what they are, people just can't see past the "evil". The world creates villains by abusing them from the start, then they become what they are, then "Heroes" want to end them. I would like to see the so called heroes dive into the roots of what made a villain a villain, then actually trying to save the person so engulfed with the horrors and despair of the world.

[@-KnightOfTheWind]

Some villains can't be redeemed, you can't save someone who was already evil from the start (Ex: Bill Cipher, Mephiles), or people who already have their brain so broke that its impossible to rearm. The heroes are not there to save the villain (Although i'm sure a great portion of them tried and succeded or failed respectively) they're there to stop them, they're there to save people who has nothing to do with what that villain became. The villain can't (or want to) open up to those _who oppose to them in every way_ and stop their plans for the greater good. Most of the cases, the wound is already made, it won't heal. At least imo.

Fun fact: Everything Robotnik uses in the games is 100% based on EVERYTHING his grandfather researched back in the day. Aerospace engineering, robotics, cybernetics, archeology, Exotic Physics (Chaos Theory).

[@gigaslave]

@GodZpeed X7 Gerald developed GUN's security robots. Robotnik made his own robots. Gerald had aerospace stuff going on (EVEN PUT HIS FACE ON THE ARK). Robotnik would make not just the Eggman Armada (which is full aerospace capable by Colours), he would make the Death Egg with his face on it. He took up Archeology to figure out things that his Grandfather did, leading him to Chaos, Emerl, Iblis's Flames of Disaster, and Dark Gaia. Where Gerald came up with the Chaos Energy systems in the Ark and the Chaos Drive, Eggman built the Chaos Energy-compatible transmission systems in his Death Egg Robot and in Mechanical Sonic, and even Metal Sonic can harness similar power sources. It's all fact.

[@ChangedMyNameFinally69]

Gerald also did genetic engineering

[@bluestar5812]

Gerald Robotnik's research on the Hidden Palace's mural led to development of Project Shadow, his attempt to recreate the Ultimate Life Form he saw engraved in the murals. The first prototype was based on the "dragon" described in Sonic 3's manual (Chaos), which became the Biolizard - which makes sense, considering lizards have the ability to regenerate parts of their body, perfect for Gerald's search for the cure for Maria. The second version, Shadow, was based on the hedgehog figure he saw in the mural. The spikes pointing upward makes Shadow resemble Super Sonic. The Artificial Chaos in the Ark stages from SA2 and Shadow game shows Gerald also toyed with recreating Chaos as he originally was.

His dark and tragic story is why he turned evil, and why his theme park ended up being an enslavement camp.

Like he was having Sonic try out some ideas he could use in an actual theme park, there's every chance every level was being monitored by a badnik drone with a camera and Robotnik was watching Sonic navigate the levels and seeing how much fun Sonic was having. Perhaps making notes like "Sonic particularly enjoyed the loops I put in Act 2 of this zone, that would be worth using in my future theme park".

Just goes to show that no matter the perspective given the protagonist is made out to be the good guy and the antagonist the bad guy. It doesn't matter what their actual moral beliefs are or even what their goals are. Just imagine the impact this would have on the Sonic series if it was cannon. Sonic would be the true bad guy in one light but a hero in another and the same would be said for Robotnik. It would reflect on how no one really is a true hero nor a true villain as everyone has good and bad morals.

5 years or so ago now, I, a fragile middle schooler, watched this video naively believing it would be some history of Robotnik as a fictional character. Though I didn't get what I was expecting, I stuck around, it was cool. But the death of Eggy truly shook me. Though I still watched the video through, it left me seriously discomposed and, frankly, traumatized. I was out of it for a few days and I think the association with the Death Egg Zone theme may be part of the reason I too this day don't really vibe with Sonic 2. This video honestly fucked me up. But today, looking back on it, I, stronger, can say... this is an incredible piece of work. The way the tragedies are built up to is masterful and I know now the absolute state I was in all that time ago was the result of an expert in their craft. Bravo.

Really cool video with nice sketches! Made me connect the dots based on what was heavily implied. Honestly, the story of Sonic Unleashed just makes this whole backstory of Robotnik even worse. What he originally wanted to make was "Robotnikland", a place of fun and joy for all to experience. What he instead made (by Unleashed) was "Eggmanland", an engineering clusterfuck of hazardous carnival rides guaranteed to torture, if not kill, those unfortunate enough to be forced in them. All of this was fueled by the energy of a monstrosity rotting the planet from the inside out and exhaled into the environment as devastating chemical pollutants, visualized by the crimson red & smog-filled sky, hardly something that would benefit the environment or people, like Robotnik originally wanted. It's even symbolized by the entrance to the park in his original vision vs what he created. In Robotnikland, the entrance is Robotnik smiling and it looks like he's happy. In Eggmanland, the entrance is Robotnik frowning and wearing his goggles... but that's not Robotnik anymore, that's Eggman. It's quite noticeable that Robotnik went completely insane by embracing the insult that Sonic branded him with as his actual being and, through consecutive failure after failure, lost all rational he had and incorporated the evil cliches Sonic labeled him with as a necessity and must be made a reality for his dream to come true. Robotnikland, now Eggmanland, became all Robotnik ever wanted, not realizing the truth behind what Robotnik slowly degraded himself into, an insult of his past ambitions, a true and pure manchild with desires interpreted from the lenses of his narrowly-perceived decaying perception of happiness. He doesn't care about anything at that point, he has Eggmanland. Do people want to be there, or is it good for the environment? It doesn't matter, he has his amusement park and he can be in it alone, forever and ever. The concept imprisoning his mind now became a physical reality.

[@lexcentrique2554]

Honestly, that shows very well how Sonic and Eggman's rivalry led to nothing but more chaos, and caused his mind to devolve into insanity. Sometimes, violence doesn't solve everything. And to show how Eggman devolved into insanity, in Sonic Generation, even Robotnik points out his future self's insanity when he starts maniacally laughing.

In his quest to rid himself of the hedgehog that has ruined his dreams again and again, Dr. Robotnik simply snapped. He probably took the name Eggman to reflect how the hedgehog that named him such had driven him to be the monster that he became.

[@SarahMckinzie]

..Would you really necessarily call eggman a monster? The man's no Wiley. He has an IQ of 800 and has shown that with very little effort he can construct weapons of unprecedented power, but has never turned it towards terrorism. He has flirted with the idea of attempting to gain total Autonatity from other nations, both through displays of force or MAD but has never really seemed like he was willing to go through with it; Even when he dabbles with fairly negative and destructive powers; he's usually only doing it as a fuel alternative. I think its always been presented that, given his space, Robotnik has no designs further then simply building a Utopian Egopolis. A monument to himself, yes, but one in which human life would be pretty dang fantastic. There'd be no need to work, no suffering, and no shortage of anything. Technically even the animals are cared for, even if again loss of individual liberty in exchange for safety is a negative. Eggy's not a cackling tyrant. Heck, his second dream over 'amusement park ownership' along with brief flirtations of sovreignity is school teaching.

“He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.” - Nietzsche Seems to fit this Robotnik quite aptly. In looking to build that which he feels would combat the darkness in himself, the residue of the hatred and rage from his early life which has marred his morals, not to the point of true evil but has drawn him ever closer thusly pushing him further as he looks to build his grand solution, yet he is at the cross roads...the early onset, his visualization of Sonic alone may be evidence of this. Eventually he will stray from this kind soul into the Doctor his world would later come to fear. Might i also add that this is an excellent take on him, the writing alone is brilliant. The art that went with it, fits beautifully! Excellent work!

[@angelangelis8362]

I feel like this could really be a great canon origin for Robotnik. It's also easy to morph him into the megalomaniac he would become later on via taking inspiration from the old Sonic: The Comic. Like with Doctor Ovi Kintobor, have him find and experiment on the Chaos Emeralds, and have an accident (probably caused by Sonic as well) get him dosed with Chaos energy that drives him crazy, magnifying his darker, more twisted parts of his personality.

... i feel really sorry for you, Eggman... i really understand how it feels to lose a dog or any animal/person you loved so much... i lost 3 bigger dogs in the past: 1: a big black dog named Dozer. 2: a big dog named Duchess. 3: and a beagle-blue tick dog mix named Copper. Duchess and Dozer are both dead... idk what happened to Copper after he ran off... i feel truly sorry for you... *virtually hugs Eggman* T_T
