tag time babeee,
You know the drill, I start babbling keywords to boost engagement, stuff that I, ALtheBoi, or AL the Boi to some, talk about in the vid, like Sonic, Eggman, Sonic vs Eggman, sonic unleashed opening intro, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic the hedgehog, Shadow the hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Big the Cat, Sonic character, Sonic character study, SOnic video essay, Sonic video, sonic game, sonic lore, sonic story, sonic plot, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, Sonic Forces, Sonic Story, Tails, Miles Tails Prower
And even stuff that's not even in the video, what you think I got a soul or something?
Like Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Frontiers Story, Amy in Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Prime, that Netflix show, Silver the hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie from Paramount starring Ben Schwartz as Sonic, James Marsden as Tom, who is a lot cooler than Chris from the anime Sonic X, Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, Eggman was a brilliant villain and whenever I saw him in games like adventure 2, Heroes and the classics when I was a kid, It was a joy. But over the years, his character has morphed from the brilliant, cunning villain into a joke for the sake of a joke and nothing more. also known as Eggman, he looked hella weird in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), also known as Sonic 06, with Idris Elba as Knuckles the echidna (looks sick) and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Miles "Tails" Prower, his voice actress from Sonic Forces, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Boom, super happy for her btw, could open some great doors for her in Hollywood.
The keywords to this point have been pretty fair tbh, I could talk about something like the DreamSMP for example if I wanted to be scummy, maybe Tommyinnit, Georgenotfound, Dream, Karl Jacobs, but I ain't gonna do that, I have standards to uphold. And how big could the overlap between the Sonic fanbase and DreamSMP fanbase be tho 🤔 would I even get something out of it? Connoreatspants actually bridges that gap, lmao calling him a minecrafter will surely piss him off, actually learned this whole keyword thing from him, love the guy, would love to meet him.
You're. Still. Reading. Why?
Go do that thing you're behind on, or brush your teeth and get some sleep, take care of yourself, cya :)

This man is spitting facts. Eggman is iconic, not just because he's funny, but because everyone knows that he is a GOSH. DAMN. THREAT.
A man capable of forcing a tiny blue hedgehog to run for his life each and every TIME.
This is why I love Eggman from the Archie Comics because the effects of his destruction are everlasting. The invasion in Archie Sonic by Robotnik caused civilizations to collapse, families to be torn apart, Mobians living in constant fear of his wrath and even having Eggbosses that act like warlords that control his conquered territory for him. And even if Sonic beats his latest plan, it doesn't matter because the world isn't anymore free than it was before. It's probably why I dislike IDW Sonic because of how it takes place after forces where Eggman has taken over the world and yet things just seem to go back to normal. Worst of all he isn't taken as a legitimate threat; his biggest plan so far was the Zombot virus and he gets sidelined half way through the arc by the Zeti. I know IDW is still young but we are almost at issue 50 and we have yet to see why not Starline, not Mimic, not the Zeti, but Eggman is the real villain of the series. But what I love the most about Eggman as a villain is the relationship between Eggman and Sonic. In IDW their rivalry is that of reacting to a roach; something that just annoys them and will not go away. But in Archie it was very personal as they saw each other as the vain of their existence. For Eggman he saw Sonic as an attack to his intelligence, as he despite being the smartest man there is can never account for Sonic who always ruins his plans, and for Sonic he sees Eggman as the man who took everything away, he lost his parents when he was a baby, lost his home during the invasion, spent his childhood in hiding, losing many friends on the quest to save the world and all because of the desires of a selfish man.
@@johanroyce6324 Geez, I need to read the Archie Sonic comics.
@@mijailsilvakiyan2617 please don't, it has some good moments but the majority of the comic is just Ken Penders being weird and writing the most random plotlines imaginable... At least while he was still part of the comic
@@thefurry7165 Then I'll try to reach the issue where Ian Flynn started writing Sonic comics as fast as possible
@@mijailsilvakiyan2617 Or British comics. Those are the ones that brought Fleetway Sonic
The contrast between Eggman and Sonic is brilliant, Sonic represent freedom, for everyone and himself, while Eggman represent order, to everyone and for himself only. Both of their ideology clash because their resolves to achieve their goal both always causes them to butt heads. It also stands to reason that both Sonic and Eggman balance each other out, if the world has too much freedom, Eggman takes his opportunity and put in order, HIS order, and if that stays for too long, someone (Sonic) will eventually rise up to give freedom back to the world.
That is the delicate balance of Order and Freedom in a nutshell.
Is it really that deep though?
@@hightetrisbeatboxrevived1648 the order vs freedom parallel? yeah; it's straight from the first game even
@@hightetrisbeatboxrevived1648 this has literally been a thing since the classics, just in more minor elements. It isn’t wild to think the guy freeing animals and fixing the environment(in CD at least) represents freedom, and the one putting them there and trying to put everything under his control represents order lol
@@hightetrisbeatboxrevived1648 "Depth" has nothing to do with it; it's a theme. Any kind of passable media uses broad themes to keep their ideas coherent and easily understood, even at a glance. The simpler the narrative, the broader and more easily recognized themes are used. The fact that Sonic uses a universal concept like order verses freedom is a consequence of it being a game for children that needs to be super obvious about everything so you can remember it.
People these days ignoring English class and misunderstanding how stories work, I swear. Smh.
The wonderful thing about Eggman is how flexible he is as a video game villain. His abilities set a common occurring theme with enemies within stages, that being his robots and the freedom of engineering means that the doctor can manipulate his weapons in any way he chooses. The tone and amount of industrialization in the stages can reflect Robotnik’s progress and evolution. By this standard, Eggman can easily be a reoccurrence in the games for the series.
An issue along with what was mentioned in the video was that these features feel poorly utilized in meta era games. This is more of a direct result of Sega’s “play it safe/simplistic” attitude, but it canonically portrays a doctor that makes the mistake of using the same plans while hoping for different results.
Robotnik is one of my favorite villain characters and I want to see his writing improve.
And Eggman is not even limited by just technology because he was always able to find and use multiple artifacts and even a time manipulating entity (in Sonic Generations)
do you know… the definition of insanity?
@@frazzelc Insanity is doing the same insane thing over and over again, expecting things to change. That is Crazy.
The Egg Dragoon is probably my favourite Eggman encounter and the peak of Mike Pollock's Eggman (don't get me wrong, I still love him to death and am glad he's still voicing the character. This is just way too hard to top). His voice really shows off hoe much anger and destain Eggman has in this moment and how he's stopping Sonic once and for all if it's the last thing he does.
With context to the story, Eggman was supposed to win. He got the jump on Sonic. He drained the Emeralds. He launched Sonic into space careening towards his doom. He should've won.....but he didn't. Sonic somehow survived and has slowly been reawakening the power of the Emeralds, putting the world back together and thwarting his plans. Victory was basically in his grasp but that spiny blue pincushion somehow came back and started ruining everything, just like he always does. This come to a head in the Egg Dragoon fight where instead of sending the rat off and hoping he perishes, he'll personally makes sure that Sonic never sees the light of day again. Eggy busts out probably the coolest mech he's ever made with the sheer intent of stopping this assinine back and fourth they've been doing for all these years. Every single threat Eggman gives doesn't seem like his usual "I'll destroy you" act. It feels like there is meaning behind these words. Eggman, in this moment wants Sonic's head on his wall and will do anything to get it.
What makes this even better is that there's a time limit. The amount of ground you're fighting on is finite and if you run out, you fall off into the Earth's core and it's game over.
Let's not forget about the hedgehog himself though, he's great to. He goes absolutely feral on the Dragoon because he doesn't have much of a choice. He's on time limit and is sure Eggman isn't messing around this time. So he use everything he's learned from the Werehog form and goes to town on the doctor before it's too late.
And the music *chef's kiss* perfection. It displays both sides desperation and anger in this moment perfectly, especially Eggman. The gloves are off, the chips are down. No more petty insults or comedic banter. This is serious.
Both sides give off the feeling that they're scared of one another but are too stubborn to back down and will fight to the bitter end, showing why they truly are meant for each other......to fight that is.
how tf do you have just 19 likes???
This is probably the best explanation of this theme and egg man I’ve ever seen!
This is why Sonic Unleashed will always be one of the franchise's most inspirational creations to me.
AAAAA, SAME THINKING
and the best part?
when the time hit last minute, where Chip give the last warning
Eggman did it, he pushed sonic into despair and desperaton
Now reading this gave me goosebumps! Couldn't agree with you more
When you talked about Eggman's desperation, it really hit me why I felt he was so threatening in the adventure games. And I'm not even talking about THAT scene in Adventure 2 that you mentioned.
During the final Fight in SA1, in sonic's story, (which to be fair was included footage of in the video), I remember how scary he was. Paired with the menacing music, I remember how when you deal your last hit, the whole place begins to shake, with sirens blaring. Eggman's machine is already beginning to blow up, but rather than just going down, or escaping as quick as possible, Eggman instead thrashes the machine around, and tries to hit sonic with it in last desperate attempt to kill him, almost destroying all of the platforms in the process.
Or in Tails' story, where Eggman already lost. His Egg Carrier is down, he has no idea where Chaos or the Emeralds are, so he lost. So then he decides to NUKE THE WHOLE FRICKIN CITY. Luckily, it was a dud, but to save Station Square Tails has to race against Eggman to the rocket to deactivate it.
And when he does that, Eggman is done, and beings out the big guns. He doesn't care about damage or casualties, obviously, so he brings out a big machine (Egg Walker) in the middle of Station square, throwing bombs everywhere. And the way he threatens Tails before that was just chilling...
So yeah, I think the Eggman encounters are at their best when he is desperate. When the whole place is collapsing, and his machine is already beaten down, but he still puts up a fight
@Gek ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Are you a bot?
I never got to play the Adventure games as a kid so playing SA1 as an adult I was like "haha he has a swimming pool and a silly bedroom on his giant flying warship-- _oh shit he's actually angry and really wants me dead in this boss fight this isn't a joke anymore._
*AWAY..Before i make mince meats out of you...*
The ending made me see how much of a PERFECT villain Eggman is to Sonic: both stubborn, both insistent, both powerful and with big egos. They are two sides of the same coin personality-wise and that is incredible.
Eggman is a perfect foil to Sonic, making him shine brighter in every way: as many missiles he may throw, as many robots and machines he may create and as many times he may bolster his ego, he will never beat the blue blur.
Thank you for making me see that. Another reason to L O V E Eggman
I won`t say Sonic has a big ego... but both have a slight similarity in that department: Confidence
The difference is, Sonic is only *confidennt* , but Eggman is *overconfident*
but yes the stubbornness, insistence & maybe power count.
I find their stubbornness, their determination to be their shining quality
Don't forget that AMAZING Death egg robot remix
@@troyuchiha5090 yeah. Also that AMAZING remix
I love how you ended it by juxtaposing and comparing him to Sonic. It immediately made me think of the verse in Open Your Heart
"You and I are same in the way that
We have our own styles that we won't change
Yours is filled with evil and mine's not
There is no way I can lose"
I LOVED Dr.Eggman in SA2 the absoloute most... He wasn't as goofy as he was the game before it. But this time it felt different. He still had some of his goof BUT it wasn't a game anymore to him. He wanted to finally achieve something great and not only that live up to the legacy of his grandfather and in the end come to think his grandfather even went too far. He had an actual character arc where we got to see more than two aspects of the character. I know that kind Eggman is probably one to go home and give it up after SA2 but man I miss that, I miss having it ALL.
Man blew up half the moon just to make a point and pulled a gun on a 13 year old girl. SA2 Eggman is best Eggman.
I've come to make an announcement
He can't only make menacing a name such a Eggman
He WILL make it menacing
He's no joke to laugh at, he's laughing at all of us
From a top a fortress of his own evil design.
Dude i just found you today and your so underrated. The editing is 10/10, the story, everything, and you always get to the point. You've earned a sub!
You came at just the right time
Thanks for the kind words, Welcome aboard!
@@ALtheBoi No problem and thank you!
No I just found him out today!
Same. Well I mean today as in today not the day you posted
I am actually at a loss of words, i'm speechless.
Wow. The EDITING, the clever editing, music mixing, the..EVERYTHING, the writing..
This is perfect. The ending, when you talked about their egos being the same..it gave me chills and it's AMAZING, your voice is awesome. And no i am not exaggerating with any of this, i didn't even get to your OTHER VIDEOS yet and i can tell i'm in for a treat, you need more attention and i genuinely hope more people find your content. You got a new subscriber!
Very kind, thank you!
10:00 dude. this, and the next 45 seconds, actually gave me chills. Your editing and pacing is 10/10, I will never get tired of your content.
I know right
Had to rewatch it more times than I’d like to admit haha 😂
It's really well done!
9:58
SA2 just has such a good pace that's set with Eggman, really makes you feel like the reason why Sonic is needed so desperately is because Eggman moves his plans so fast the only thing that can keep up is the fastest thing alive.
Eggman is the very definition of guerrilla warfare hitting you at all times while also working off plans that would need an entire generation to figure and sort, he is such an all hitter that there is no combatting him with things like GUN all you can do is go directly into his traps and be confident enough that you have what it takes to avoid them.
I’ve always LOVED Eggman because of how genuinely threatening he was. The duality of comedy and threat makes him unique. I kinda miss SatAM Robotnik even though he was arguably more boring than the Eggman we have now.
SatAM was still goofy at times, His facial expressions, and Complicated plans were really amusing to watch.
I always appreciate the stakes of the Classic and Dreamcast Era games giving Eggman a proper, threatening presence. He enslaves animals in robots, burned down an island and tricked a powerful rival onto his side in Sonic 3, worked to make and raise a monster that would destroy the city in Adventure, came from a legacy of world-destroying power in Adventure 2, and responsible for creating Metal Sonic, a robot that was playing all four teams like a fiddle.
Mediocre and/or bad games in the series are always the ones that diminish this dynamic between Sonic and Eggman through a few flaws in the Modern era that I don't need to list.
Yes!! Eggman pretending to beg for mercy before capturing Sonic is such a Eggman thing to do if that makes sense and makes him not seem like a complete goof lol
The editing at 9:59 to 10:04 is just so amazing! I can't stop replaying it.
I love it too all these pictures of Sonic smirk over the seething rage of Eggman's voice. Just amazing.
9:58
I really liked the editing from 0:00 to 11:27
I think the pre-adventure games got Eggman's comedy the best. While other games nailed different aspects even better, Eggman's comedy was best done in his reactions/expression, every time you hit Eggman, it's hard not to smile a little when you see him give a moment of "ohhhhh shit..." and go back to what he's doing. If it can be done by any other character, it's not good Eggman comedy and belittles him, give it to a robot instead.
Secondly his style is also inherently funny, you can't tell me that seeing yet another motobug where a true war machine should be isn't funny. Seeing his stupid face plastered on everything he makes is hilarious, imagine being in a war and finding out your rifle was designed and manufactured in the Eggman Empire by seeing his face engraved into the handle. He's not even actually there but just seeing his stupid face on the battlefield out of place is hilarious.
I especially loved him laughing at the camera every time he hits you in the classic bosses. He was really well done comedy wise in the Adventure games too, the scene in SA2 where he just scratches his ass makes me laugh every time, yet he is amazing and super badass in that game. The series used to hit a perfect balance between moods, SA2 could be funny and lighthearted in a really charming way then flip to being serious and kind of tragic whenever it wanted and it basically always worked, the Last Story cutscene is a great example of this. Now they are incapable of doing either.
How to fix Dr Eggman:
Step 1 - get Alfred Coleman to voice him.
Step 2 - watch the beauty unfold and spread across the internet…
I was expecting a very smooth-brained interpretation here, like all the guys who just say that Eggman should act this way or that, as if Eggman has two modes, SatAM and Adventures. But you absolutely blew me away with your takes, and the knowledge that Eggman isn't just a goofball OR a maniac, he's BOTH. And that's what's so scary about him. I didn't really get much commentary on that front, but you breaking each segment into sections is a nice one. Good video man!
I actually always loved eggman, he is one of the best game villains, but much like most bad guys, he tends to loose a lot against the good guys, and far too easily.
How To Fix: Dr. Eggman
You can't fix perfection.
I was gonna say lol
When I usually think of Eggman, I think of him as a goofy man who tries to be villain, but you made me realize that he's truly a threat. It's kinda creepy to think of him that way for me
ALSO THAT EDITING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL
You just keep reaching new peaks with these videos, I especially love how this one was presented, I remember you saying on Discord that you wouldn't say his name throughout the entire video till the ending, which sounded cool, but actually seeing it now, it just gives such a badass feeling to Eggman when you finally say it. Also your breakdown of Eggman's character really made me appreciate the character a lot more, always loved the character but it was hard for me to explain why but I think you hit the nail on the head.
I think something meta about eggman is that he's the opposite of bowser on spectrum of villainy when it comes with planning
One is a big muscle meat head of a threat that under think things, you beat him with simple things or by seeing something in his plan he missed
While the other is an intellectual glass cannon where he can't pack and punch or even take one, but holy shit does his invention does the talking in terms of threat level where he overthink his plans to make sure everything works just like needed and your only option is to in a way reverse engineer the situation (the final confrontation in SA1) and take your time to know how to hit the blow (sonic 2 and the normal final boss of sonic and knuckle)
Both goofy, but still threatening for different reasons and it make sense considering how one series was created as a rival to the other
...Eggman is Power-type character... he is quite strong physically
At the same time though, they're both villains who actively put themselves in your way whenever the opportunity arises. Part of how they're both iconic, I guess.
He was the scariest when he pissed on the moon
All because shadow pissed on his wife
The rant over the sun in Sonic Forces freaking KILLED me. Dude I've been loving all these character breakdown videos
Rewatching this for the fifth time this week and I just realized,
The video starts out with an order,
"Say his name."
And the last spoken word of this video essay is the answer to that order.
"The Eggman."
And his name is not spoken even once all throughout the video :b
@@ALtheBoi clearly i need to watch this video many more times to catch every nuance and clever writing trick in it. it seems i have the rest of my week cut out for me.
the entirety of this video is absolute gold
love your editing style
also oh my god the buildup to 8:08 is so good i genuinely did not expect you to execute the joke on the second looparound
The beginning of this video made me truly realize how truly teriffying dr.robotnik is.
Eggman is by-far my favorite character in the series, mostly because of his vibe of "having the control" even if he isn't at control (remember the final scene of both eggmans on Sonic Generations).
And as a fan of him, I would love to see him more threatening in Sonic Frontiers.
I like the way you both said what eggman should be and showed it through the way the video was edited. It's hitting two birds with one stone in a way I've never seen before. It's brilliant.
please never delete this video, i love this video to death and i will keep rewatching it up until the day i die
Man, you really keep putting my thoughts into words. You sound like the voice of reason in a fandom where everything is one way or another.
I think the movie did a fairly good jon at this too, taking the goofiness from recent games but with actual murderous intents
Also, you seem to be a distinguished Unleashed appreciator just like me so cheers on that, mate
This is dope. I really hope they do him justice in Frontiers
What I love from Eggman is how ambitious he is, no matter how many times he loses, how many bad games he is in, how many times he is betrayed, he always wants more and does not settle for anything, he is not only a villain, he is a REAL threat and goes to extreme points to complete his plan (even the movies shows it)
Eggman is probably one of my favourite video game characters and definitely my favourite villain. This video really put a lot of context as to why that is. Yeah he can be pretty funny. It's pretty hard to take an overweight, bald dude with a strange moustache weird getup seriously. But why it works is because he's a massive threat. He's an unpredictable genius who's:
-Blown up a large piece of the moon
-Chained an entire planet to mechanize it
-Gained control of multiple different planets in order to enslave tiny alien creatures and suck them of their power source
-Broke the world into pieces
-And erased time and space
All of these things with a grandiose, shove it in your face nature that I love. Eggman doesn't need to look threatening. That's not how he makes his presence known. His actions are what makes him a threat. As long as his big brain can think of it and make a plan around it, he's near unstoppable and wants everyone to know that while he laughs straight in their faces.
That ending perfectly nails what the Joker said to Batman in the The Dark Knight "You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you, huh? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever." I'd say that Flynn's era of Archie Sonic nailed this perfectly and its exhibited in full display during the Iron Dominion saga. Sonic has won and despite having the perfect opportunity he chooses not off Eggman, instead capturing and locking him up and the moment Eggy has regained his self Sonic is ready to treat it as their usual game of back and forth. Eggman could nuke the kingdom off the map and be done with it but he wants to break Sonic because he doesn't want an empty W. These two truly are driven by their ego and it makes an entertaining timeless back to forth.
Ian Flynn's Eggman from Archie is the best interpretation of the character in my opinion, the perfect mix of goofy and flamboyant, while also being intimidating, cold and calculating. I miss Flynn's run on that universe from 160 to the first reboot.
Nope, before the Ian Flynn's Eggman from Archie is the best interpretation for the character. Ian Flynn ruined him by making him too bland, before him the man was terrifying and funny.
When you put it into context like that, Eggman is actually a terrifying threat.
I'm literally replaying this thing over and over for two days now. The editing, the script, the ending that gives me goosebumps every time... your videos are masterpieces! Keep up the good work! ^^
You highlighted one of many reasons why Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the best game in the entire franchise. Robotnik does not quit. He is absolutely hell bent on keeping the Master Emerald for himself, even it means dying and taking you with him. The stakes, the mind boggling epic proportions and Robotnik's sheer maniacal stubbornness, are all portrayed so well in the final moments of the game... All of it without a single line of dialogue. Absolutely zero exposition. Visual storytelling at its finest. Illustrated in simple, now seemingly outdated, 16-bit graphics. This is why the original Genesis games, especially S3&K are so special. It's what is lost in every game since Sonic Adventure, sans Sonic Mania.
I can’t believe I just found this channel now, this analysis is amazing. Sega needs to take this advice, and you have earned yourself a new subscriber.
I always binge cool sonic fanmade content and see a lot of impressive ones that stand out. But man, not only do you stand out but YOU ARE EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT at what you do.
I'm used to people saying similar things to me about my own content like "oh you're so underrated" "your editing is top notch" but YOU? Tch, you impressed me the entire 11 minutes of this video and I'm so eager to watch more!
Literally smiled the entire time amazed and shook asf seeing every bit of personality, style, ounce of effort poured into every motion graphic. The pacing, writing, delivery, it all blended together so well with its visuals. Honestly great job, that was one of -if not- the best sonic related videos I've ever seen on any platform.
Instantly subbed and hit the bell!
I like this. You managed to put everything you love about Eggman as a villain into words, and now I have new appreciation for why he endures as a character. Well done!
Found your channel yesterday and I've been binge watching all your content since. You're seriously super talented and severely underrated, the way you edit your videos, the pacing, the writing, it's all superb. Can't wait to see what the future holds!
Dude the editing and presentation in this video is outstanding, legit got chills multiple times. And I love the writing theory you shared, it's so good!
Production value and structuring here is fantastic. Eggman is one of my favorite video game characters, if not _the_ favorite. Really liked seeing you deconstruct him and explain why he works as a character.
Either you JUST hit the scene here on RUclips, or you’re criminally underrated. Either way, there’s no way you should have this few subs and views. This content is top notch 👍
Every time you post it’s like it’s a second Christmas. The editing on your videos is so fucking good, super underrated
The editing is amazing, the transitions are beautiful and the music combines with it well. This video makes you feel threatened by Eggman just because of his existence. And it makes you realise just how powerful he is, blowing up a moon, moving around clusters of the entire planet, I knew, but didn't stop to think. This video made me think whether I liked it or not, and feel longer than it was.
Well done Al, well done.
Goddamn, the editing is actually making me feel kinda.... scared of Eggman? Not irrationally or anything, but just super anxious, especially since I’m mostly just listening while doing something else.
That’s the intent! Glad I achieved it
Absolutley stellar performance from the one and only Eggman! Great video dude 👍🏾👏🏽💕
I love that you addressed the duality of his portrayals, both threatening and comedic, it felt like the perfect rebuttal to another video I saw that posed the comedic side as the inherently worse part of his portayal, when in reality, it all works when you see what he's capable of and they work hand in hand for his character and add to his appeal.
I can't get over these awesome transitions, the editing is insane!
9:36 - 10:16 That was absolutely incredible, Awesome video
Wow you are just pumping out one banger after the other!
I think the original source of the whole "theme park" runnig gag was a scrapped idea for a live action Sonic movie; it was supposed to be the first half of the story to "Sonic Xtreme", and had Dr. Eggman use the theme park idea in a sinister, evil way - roboticizing the patron while they're in the park. Along the way, however, we all lost sight of the original purpose...
This is one of the most well produced pieces of content I have seen. The music choice was great with an entertaining take on the franchise that isn't just complaining. I only vaguely interested when I clicked on the video, as I haven't played a sonic game, only the movie and snap cube fandubs. The final ending of the video just hits like a truck with the music making me want more.
This is the perfect review on Eggman. I've found that recent ones have just been trashing on the story of everything colors and after and praising the Adventure games instead of staying neutral, whilst this video takes the upsides of all games whilst also pointing the downsides to how characters are written in ALL Sonic games. Plus the editing is top notch, egg/10.
Holy shit, I was just looking for the Eggman theme from SA2 and I found this gem.
Superb editing and you made a really good point for the problems that plague current day Eggman.
tl;dr: instant fan, subbed.
Man I'm so lucky to have found you your humour, editing and writing is so clever we can feel how perfectionist you are with your work and it creates masterpieces like this. WELL DONE
Genuinely this video was so top notch I had to watch it three times. The editing was masterclass, and the writing was just as good. 10 out of 10 my friend, you just got a new subscriber
Sonic and Eggman are almost complete opposites: one is good, the other is evil; one is a nature supporter, the other is an industrialist; one has an army of mutual friends, the other dominates over subordinates. But there is one key similarity that connects the two.
They both plan on completing they're mission having as much fun as possible.
the ending of this video gave me chills. editing is god tier, scripting is god tier both content wise and thematically. dude i can’t believe i’ve never found you before i’m totally hyped to watch all your other videos
That final step is so fucking good, Egg Dragoon has been my favorite fight in Sonic history purely because it just reeks of how much he wants sonic gone, the music shows that and his tone is a bit harsher during the fight. He will do everything he can to stop him and yet Sonic manages to beat him in a form that he seems to finally just have gotten comfortable with. Literally my Favorite fight in the series story and gameplay wise since the game does a good job of showing and telling. Also your editing is incredible! Definitely earned my Sub!
I wasn't prepared for such 4 great gifts for Christmas. Amazing editing as always (heck, are you getting even better or it's just me?), and the content... What can I say that no one else already said? Spectacular, just... breathtaking!
Sadly now I want more. Happy Holidays, man!
PD:
Tails: "It's Dr Robotnik!"
Classic Eggman: "No one calls me like that anymore."
GOD, This video gave me hard goosebumps, the way you talk, the way you explain, the editing, the story, the voice lines of the Sonic games in the middle of the video, the music, everything is so well done!
Doctor Eggman gotta be my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog villain, after all HE IS the villain, the principal Sonic the Hedgehog antagonist, he always come back and always has a new plan, he hates Sonic and really wants to take over the world, and I really agree what you said in the video, you got really good points. and my God, Eggman is such a badass villain when done right, he is literally funny and has a charismatic and silly design, but his plans are really dark when you really think about them, he already pointed a Gun to Amy's head, he destroyed the planet in a lot of pieces, he awake a ancient god that destroyed an entire city, he destroyed a entire GUN base and tried to use a cannon to explode the entire planet, he tortured an entire Alien species, etc. and Eggmanland it's such a good stage, not only because of it's ambient, but it's so epic after many years of him talking about building Eggmanland, he finally doing it...
RUclips just reccomended your video for some reason, and even with this quallity your channel is underrated, but I really loved this video, for sure new sub!
7:15
MY SUPER LASER PISS
Eggman imo needs some slight tweaking. I think game that does the threat of eggman justice, is colors. For example at the beginning of the game in tropical resort it’s an innocent theme park in outer space, but as you progress especially into starlight carnival you see a fleet of starships coming through a portal and at first you think oh it’s some spectacle for the visitors but when you realize the size and amount of ships you come to the conclusion he could conquer a planet with these, and then planet wisp the final safe haven for the little aliens, starts with a lush and beautiful landscape that transitions into a factory pumping chemicals into the water, it emulates the show don’t tell story telling of the classics that while eggman can fake an innocent park builder the real robotnik while goofy and carasmatic is a cold calculating mad man that will pursue his goals until at any cost.
It kind of amuses me that this video is describing pretty much the exact opposite of SatAM Robotnik, a villain who *looks* threatening and has excellent voice acting, but ultimately just sits in his chair all day and is frequently even more incompetent than AoStH Robotnik. (i watched the two shows back-to-back recently, so i would know)
Also, wow, that editing. I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but this video is legitimately a work of art with how creatively it's put together.
AoStH Robotnik is so slept on it's crazy
@@ALtheBoi i wouldn't just place this as a comment but on your how to fix videos that are not outdated *the fucking editing is 100/10*
but if i have to say something i disagreed here with, unleased eggman was a mixed bad, first and final cutseens amazing!, the middle? no, give the eggman respect.
Literally saw this video today and was blown away. Awesome points made
i love the "master plan" part, starts with an intelligent meme and ends in an epic outro 10/10 video
it's like the seventh time i watch this
so i need to touch some grass XD
This gives me genuine chills, like you genuinely know how to make a character seem really intimidating.
This video is excellent in every department, the most stellar element is how the editing doesn't distract from ,or even accentuate the point: it is enmeshed in point! The editing carries in itself the hectic duality of a massive dominant and yet somehow entertaining and comedic presence.
10:38 till the very last second man.
This is what I aspire to be
I heard the Skullgirls main menu theme and had to click like. Your editing and music choices were top notch. Audio was mixed very well and the audio clips you chose perfectly illustrated your points. Looking forward to more
Your editing is brilliant, your script concise and you are both critical and respectful. Earned a sub from me for sure! :D
Dr.egg man is the ring master of his master plans, he’s entertaining, the planner, competent, arrogant and he’s all about presentation (hence why you can see his faces plastered on literally everything). Especially since his lab coat isn’t the generic lab coat, it’s the ring master’s coat mixed with a lab coat. It’s the uniform of a genius circus ring master, it’s such a unique and genius design choice since it plays so naturally into him, of course he always gets bested in a humiliating and funny way since it’s part of the show, intentional or not. Welcome, to dr.egg man’s circus, we’re all clowns and the entertainment here, but none as mighty as the ringmaster himself, the blue blur and co
I keep coming back to this video over and over again. The editing has been praised by many other commenters, which is thoroughly deserved, but I want to talk about the combination of comedy and theatrics. The way this video is presented is a mirror of Eggman himself: making the audience laugh while also making us go "holy shit" at the same time. It perfectly emphasizes the point this video is making, and is probably the reason why this remains one of my favorite videos of all time.
just found you and this is genius
you nailed everything
and presented it like the start of an action movie
esse cara merecia muito mais reconhecimento (assim como o Eggman, que as pessoas olham como só um cientista do mal numero 2457)
tudo nesse vídeo é incrível, a edição, o jeito que as musicas são usadas, o jeito que você abre os olhos das pessoas sobre o valor dos personagens, parabéns cara
I love the way you explained exactly how Eggman should be when it comes to being a force to be reckoned with, he may be a goofy ass character, but he’s more than just a villain who has all the comedic qualities to himself, but his true colors show that he is this dark and dangerous man who causes carnage to the universe, he will do whatever it takes to destroy Sonic and anyone else who gets in his way, failure by failure he would always keep his ass back up and keep pushing forward to finally see his enemies fall, suffer, and die the worst death imaginable. That’s what I want more of when there is a new Sonic game, I want to see his true SA1/SA2 self shine through again and create oblivion towards the blue spine cushion, hell, his own theme song in SA2 tells you exactly what kind of a person he is, a man with no limits, someone who will eventually succeed! I love how he just shows so much hatred for Sonic and how he’s sick and tired of him getting in his way.
The end gave me CHILLS! Your editing is phenomenal. And the machine sound at the end - reminds me how dangerous Eggman really is.
As someone writing a Sonic inspired story, this is actuyally a real eye-opener as to the egg's greater doctrines. I'm going to have to see what I can do to differentiate myself.
Very good video, love the editing.
Eggman truly commands respect even among other major video game villains. His tenacity alone sets him miles above the rest.
This video is a true masterclass in editing, pacing, theatrics and narrative, and a big part of why i appreciate and enjoy the character of the eggman to the degree i do
Bravo!
you put into words EXACTLY why i love Eggman he balances both humor and threatening throw in a dash of showmanship and grandiose presentation you have the perfect recipe for an iconic villain
Eggman is my favorite character in tje sonic franchise tbh.
Yes he is a comic relief villain but thats what he excels at and i love him for it
you are now my official favorite sonic youtube channel.
you have such excellent points, your concise, funny and holy shit your editing to masterful.
I love the video editing and music, the entire way you do things is just..amazing...perfect one could say.
My favorite part of this video is the intro, just a straight up demonstration that in spite all of his quirks and grandstanding you can never forget that Eggman is a THREAT
The editing in this video is just beautiful! Amazing Analysis of Eggmans character
This is some of the best editing and presentation I've ever seen in my life
Real
Just got recommended your video and bro…FANTASTIC WORK, the editing was on point, the points made sense and showed you knew your stuff. Cannot WAIT to see what’s in store
11/10 on EVERYTHING
Wow this editing is top notch, I hope the youtube algorithm is kind to your videos, instantly subscribed.
The editing on this video is ON POINT!
You sir, have a new subscriber. This is quality work!!!
I love this video (just like all of your other content, lol) and I enjoyed how you touched on the fact that Sonic and Eggman DO share many “general traits” (stubborn, witty, cocky to a fault in certain situations) and views of their own efforts (Sonic of course would help someone in need/he likes seeing people happy, Eggman revealed recently in IDW that the real reason why he’s so obsessed with amusement parks is because he wants to see people happy + some other spoiler-y things). I really feel like their dynamic specifically might be my fav in the whole franchise and it’s def a much more nuanced one compared to other heroes and villains of the genre.
There’s a specific interaction they have in Sonic X (the original Japanese version haha) that I always go back to because it’s so….casual? Like it’s just them and they really aren’t fighting, but Eggman just kind of “emotionally confronts” Sonic. I feel like Eggman knows that he understands Sonic on a deeper level and that they are (for lack of a better phrase) the same person, just in a different font.
Jesus Christ you are the pinnacle of sonic-tubers on this platform, watched you're content for around half a year now and just had the sickest memory lane trip watching you're stuff dude, keep it up!
