Sonic Adventure 2 Commentary Part 7 Project Shadow

[@silenthazardz]

Eggman was at his best in this game, he gets over confident, reasonable so, but manages to always make his way back the the top, showcasing why he IS THE EGGMAN. He felt like a proper continuation of his megadrive self and not what people seem to sadly remember him as, a goofy clown. Although I guess since thanks to the 2010s that kinda is true but Eggman was never meant to be a goofy clown. I think it's just refering to Shadow alone and the translation is just poorly done. And now it's November when the video is released. Rouge I think is the best female Sonic character because she's more socialble than Knuckles but deep down she wants something actually meaingful. And in the games she does appear in, and other media, she's done well and her friendship with Knuckles and Shadow speaks to how great she is. A true friend that won't ever leave you and completely understands you. That and I'm glad she was never forced into becoming something she wasn't and isn't for the sake of being a "strong female character" when she already is a strong female character and well done one (a just a great character overall) compared to Amy who's used to be one, but was then badly mishandled after this game and is now just the girl character with nothing unique about her. Oh how Sonic and his cast have been mishandled over the years.... "SA2 isn't consistent", why did that remind me of the line Tails' says in Frontiers lmao.

Why Eggman works in SA2 (and the Mega Drive games) is because he is an overconfident goofy manchild with plans of creating a theme park in honor of himself and his achievements... That also involve enslaving the world, destroying anyone who gets in his way and has an army of machines and genius intellect to back him up which is where the threat and fear comes in... Its a shame Forces ended up screwing up that concept because it really had the potential to really show Dr Eggman at his peak. In a later part I did a bit of research and found out what that line was actually referring to which is quite interesting. Yeah, Rouge is one of the great ones, and definitely one who both the fanbase and the series itself easily underestimates. She's got her strengths but she also isn't ultra invincible or needs to be on par with the likes of Sonic or Shadow to be strong since she has her own unique qualities they lack with a fairly vibrant personality to boot. Poor Amy though, the games haven't been kind to her after SA2. Don't worry we'll get to that line in Frontiers in due time.
