TailsTube #2 (feat. ???)

Tails is back with another installment of TailsTube! Today he's bringing on a mystery guest to talk all about the dangers Sonic has encountered on his journeys to save the world!

The idea that Tails and Orbot being friends, who just happen to work for different ‘employers,’ is pretty clever.

[@PSIHedgehogChris]

In terms of Eggman "wiping out" GUN, my headcanon is that he didn't actually kill anyone, he just anonymously sent the commander enough $50 Olive Garden gift cards to order every single soldier in the organization to go to their nearest Olive Garden for their never-ending pasta bowl, and while they were busy stuffing their faces/recovering from eating too much pasta, Eggman took over the world. EDIT: Also, nice to see Eggman still have the Robotnik name, even if he's basically been reverse-psychology'd into using the derogatory nickname Sonic gave him in an attempt to one-up Sonic. EDIT 2: Tails' username in the Eggman segment I had initially thought was a post-reboot Archie reference before I remembered that the Game Gear game Tails Skypatrol existed.

I'm so glad they're unifying the lore like this, I've always wanted the games to have a more cohesive setting. It's okay if each story differs in tone and focus as long as it still feels like it's taking place in the same world.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

True, I agree. The games and recent IDW comics, haven’t really been clear where the story takes place. In the past, it was referred to Möbius. Now, we know clearly that, Sonic’s world is a bit like Earth, with people, and government organizations like G.U.N. But, different, as Sonic, his friends live on the outer islands around the world. Where locations like Angel Island, the Ark, and civilizations like the Echidnas, Babylonians, Dark Arms, and Ancientsc are all connected in this world. Along with creatures like Wisps, Chow, and Koko. Though it has me wondering if we’ll see revisit past locations, and see GUN again in the games.

[@monky7106]

I love the emphasis Eggman put on his world conquest putting him in opposition to G.U.N., right after he was talking about Shadow and his grandfather - the implication is clear. I've always felt like the ARK incident would be at least a part of his motivation for his desire to control the world, if the ones currently in control are the corrupt tyrants who took out members of his family in a military cover up. I'd imagine having this happen when he was a kid, especially when it was his also-a-child cousin and the grandfather who was his idol that were killed, would definitely have an effect on his personality - maybe his desire for absolute control and obsession comes from the terrible feeling of your loved ones being harmed an entire world away (well, in space, same thing), while you're entirely helpless to do anything - he doesn't want that to happen ever again. He isn't truly evil, and I'd go as far as saying he even has noble intentions, he just has a warped, misguided sense of what the "ideal" world is and how to bring it about because of that incident. I really loved the more morally complex take that Sonic X had on Eggman - it's not at all apparent in the english dub script because the 4kids translation didn't preserve the more subtle hints at Eggman's inner character in much of his dialogue, so I really cannot recommend enough watching it in japanese with english subtitles (which are translated more accurately) - it is a true night and day difference, and the writing in the true version of the script is not only better in comparison to the dub, but just very very good in general. I hope that SEGA and Sonic Team have gotten back on track and will start to explore his character more again like they'd started doing subtly in the aftermath of Sonic Adventure 2, I have my fingers crossed for Sonic Frontiers since it seems Sonic and Eggman have a common enemy there.

[@urdeadnotbigsuprise7439]

Wow, what a comment. Even before this whole TailsTube thing, I thought ARK incident definitely had a role in what Eggman become to be, at least we got more of a clear (and canon) answer this time.

Finally, someone else who thinks this!

[@Rhyusfox]

Far as Fronteirs go, any bets on the common enemy being something Ivo messes with at first that gets out of hand? ... again?

[@jeremyknight9980]

I wish the Millitary killing his family was his backstory, it would've made him a more sympathetic villain, not in the same way as Mr Freeze from Batman but still. I'm so used to the games, Comics and cartoons writting Eggman as this irredeemable man child that treats everyone like garbage that it's strange seeing him in a more sympathetic way. Which is why I always found that one episode of Sonic X with Dark Sonic so odd. I really wish I could watch Sonic X in japanese, but I'm legally blind so I can only go off of what people say about the japanese version. Sonic characters sound so cool in japanese even though I have no idea what they are saying. I however can listen to the japanese versions of the games's cutscenes with my text to speech program with english subs on youtube. The dialogue in Colors, Lost World and Forces is so much better. I'm open to the idea of Eggman being a more Bowser like villain where he isn't flat out evil but not to the point where he's like Sonic Boom Eggman where he's just an angry neighbor.

[@DarkLink1996.]

I think it's more a reference to how most video game characters have "dark" versions of themselves. A lot of fans called Shadow "Dark Sonic" before Dark Super Sonic was a thing in Sonic X.

[@trevinodude]

I like how there is some truths to both Tails’ and Orbot’s perspectives about Eggman keeping the nickname Sonic gave him. On one hand, he is stuck with a name that will always and forever tie him to his arch nemesis… making it a win for Sonic. But at the same time Eggman villainously ‘Dekued’ the name into a symbol of pride for him, which is pretty empowering as well. In the end, both of them are right… as far as I’m concerned it’s neither a win for Sonic or Eggman that he has become stuck with the name, but the evil doctor has made the most of it.

[@galten7361]

Naka already said that Eggman is a nickname Sonic gave him.

[@trendysilver949]

"Eggman is a name Sonic came up with to mock him" so Sonic is calling Robotnik fat? Way to be a hero, Sonic

[@KraziShadowbear]

This is really smart as is helps people who've seen the movies understand and get a better glimpse into the game lore and the origins of many of the game's storylines, details, and purposes! Also, I like that description of Shadow. He isn't exactly Sonic's friend, but he's still thorn in the side of Eggman and a thorn in the side of evil all the same. Keeping his promise to Maria to save the people of this world, is what he's all about.

[@Twilord_]

It seems more like Shadow has moved past his life being about keeping his promise. The true ending of his own game ending with him saying "Goodbye Forever Shadow The Hedgehog" after describing destroying the Black Comet as putting his past behind him AND then in Sonic 06 not using the Emeralds to go save Maria's life. Shadow protects the world because he wants to, which is the major way that he is actually not too unlike Sonic. I saw an amusing description a while back - Sonic and Shadow both value protecting the world, but their relationship is basically Ned Flanders / Spongebob and Homer Simpson / Squidward. I feel like there is a lot more fun to be gotten from both of the characters when taken from that perspective. Then again I kinda feel like Shadow The Hedgehog did a great job of giving fun a characterisation to basically every character besides Shadow, who the narrative style only really left room for them to do well in Last Story. It basically made Sonic's optimism charmingly obnoxious and his irreverence annoyingly enviable. It doesn't hurt that doing him that way gives both Shadow and Knuckles, who should both be his friendly rivals to different degrees, A LOT to bounce off.
