Sonic General Discussion Zone Act 1: New Frontiers

And I thought he just ran out of cyber space

I'm not entirely sure, in theory eggman isn't in a cage anywhere, he's just hanging out at the start of what looks like a cyberspace stage, maybe he'd be able to leave if he somehow did the stage lol

Freedom Fighters don't have any legal issues, it's mostly just Sega not liking to use stuff from older media.

Yeah, they straight up own them I think. But yeah, they just don't like using shit from old/dead media like SATAM or Sonic X. Well, characters at least.

 

[Omegabronic]

I mean: isn't Archie Eggman from a Mobius where he won after he used nukes to wipe out all the Freedom Fighters, roboticized everything, and only came to Mobius Prime after Robotnik was erased from existence so he could win again?

And that's only the tip of a list of the ****** up things that Eggman has done in the comics. I recently learned about the ways that Eggman keeps his Egg Legions loyal to him, and I think seeing how Eggman treats his minions and forces would utterly disgust Bowser.

And Game Eggman made, or almost made, multiversal and Universal Genocide multiplr times......Game Eggman is just as bad honestly

Which is odd since repurposing certain elements from different continuitys to make a new game sounds easier than doing everything from scratch but I'm not a multi billion dollar company so what would I know.

He doesn't thrive on anyone's pointless torture though (except Sonic's in Forces, and even then it seemed pretty mild). When he captured professor Pickle in Unleashed, Tails was convinced Eggman was feeding him because "Even he's not that cruel". Turns out he was feeding him very good looking food

I mean at least Game Eggman has Sage to give him some semblance of an actual human personality.

Which I'm not going to lie: it's pretty funny, in a morbid sort of way, that SEGA wants us to think that the Eggman that unleashed the Metal Virus upon the world is the same Eggman from Sonic Frontiers. One of the unintended consequences of canonzing IDW, tbh.

They definitely told the current comic writer no when he asked to use them


I also think I heard a story once of Archie having to cancel a sonic underground conclusion comic because sega told them they didn't have the rights

When i get my hands on Takashi Iizuka.

Thinking about it maybe just IDW said no? But it was certainly implied that Sega denied it

The Metal Virus saga is a leftover plotline from the Archie comics. That's why it comes off as extreme even for this version of Eggman

At the very least, it shouldn't have been the first thing they did because it set the wrong expectations for the IDW series and now it may come off like they're gassed out

For better or worse, the MCU does that pretty frequantly, and it worked out well enough for the first three phases. Though after that, um... yeah...

They went beyond there plan and didn't have a new one, there was no direction and directors just wanted to make there own movies (omnipotent city should never have made it into the mcu...it's a terrible retcon)

.....has Archie Eggman even tried, or succeeded, in multiversal "infinite lives lost" genocide?

I mean.....Sage talks about killing Sonic, Ian said that if anything, she is going to make him worse as he would destroy continents if she asked for example

The Super Genesis Wave, technically.
