RANKING the Villains of Sonic the Hedgehog
Ойындар
Synopsis:
31 years of Sonic. 31 years. Throughout this time, there has been many loops ran across, an uncountable number of rings collected, seven emeralds obtained more times than one can be bothered to keep track of, and with it, a large plethora of villains bested, all by the iconic blue blur.
But with every adversary defeated, a mark is left on the franchise in terms of gameplay, plot, tone, and most importantly, a memory. I figured with the release of Sonic Frontiers, and the beginning of a new era for the fastest thing alive, now would be a good time to take a trip down memory lane for the villains that our beloved hedgehog had to go through to get this far. To see whether or not they hold up to today's standards, or if they are just something that are awesome in recollection, and recollection alone.
In this video, I go over the villains of this beloved franchise from the Adventure, Dark Age, and Modern Era of Sonic (minus Dr. Eggman), and rank them based on how well of an impression they made in their game(s) of appearance, to find out if they're still all their cracked up to be.
After all, a hero is only as good as its villain.

I agree with this.
Honestly, I would consider SA2’s villain to be Geralt Robotnik. Sure, he’s already dead by that point in the story, but every important plot point happens because of him (Shadow, the ARK,). The Biolizard is just an extension of Dr Geralt’s will, who wanted to destroy the whole world as revenge. I think he ranks pretty easily in A-Tier for how his presence looms all over the story.
@Lapran3
Жыл бұрын
This. Biolizard isn’t the true villain of SA2, Gerald is, and in my opinion he’s one of the most compelling villains in the franchise. His actions between altering the entire space colony to be a planet shattering nuke, and effectively brainwashing Shadow (and perhaps even the prototype) into sharing his twisted worldview are absolutely monsterous, but at the same time you have some sympathy for him and understand just what horrible things happened in his last years that turned him into the evil bitter old man we see in SA2’s finale

That whole part about Dark Gaia was straight up wrong, the people were shown all the time to be concerned about the planet being split apart. That one ice cream guy was the only person really trying to stay happy despite everything and honestly he probably didn't even know the planet split. The townsfolk in Spagonia all danced around because they were possessed, they weren't just not caring about the planet breaking. The clips in this video are cut in a way that purposely misleads the whole story of Unleashed, they never play it off or act like we shouldn't take Dark Gaia seriously. They do the exact opposite and always picture him as the gigantic threat he is. Furthermore I can just tell this guy is another typical "Meta era is Satan's spawn and villains must be super in depth and have book like motivations" that mindset is just really bad.

Infinite's backstory could be improved easily by making Shadow's attack the straw that broke the camels back; make the events that his phantom copies are part of be the cause of his development into the villain he is. Make him a background character that experienced the parts of the story that are glossed over; station square flooding, Metal's Egg Fleets attack followed by the Black Arms invasion, maybe some dark gaia planet shattering, and the siphoning of life energy by Zavok. In the actual story is a different story.

Shadow's attack was the weight that broke infinite's back. Infinite and Jackle squad were bounty hunters that would kill or find valuables for money. Not exactly fancy living. Infinite is clearly fed up with the world and wants it to burn (which he even states in the prequel comic. Shadow killing his squad is what finally tipped him over into volunteering himself for the phantom ruby, so that he could make the world( and by proxy shadow) suffer for his pain that he's endured. My only big problem with infinite's backstory is that Shadow was the one to kill his squad. Shadow wouldn't kill people that stand next to no chance at beating him. To Shadow a bunch of mercenaries are nothing to him. That was so out of character. That's my only big gripe with Infinite's backstory

So true
Honestly Erazor Djinn is actually a whole lot more evil than you give him credit for. For starters Erazor Djinn was already erasing many numerous worlds in the Arabian Nights, so that means that he has been outright killing who knows how many beings already before Sharah met Sonic. Second Erazor Djinn tries to actually outright get Sonic killed not once but multiple times throughout the game, either indirectly or not. And last but not least he was the first and only villain in the Sonic franchise to have killed someone who Sonic considered to be a friend and make Sonic turn into a completely dark form. Sure Erazor may not get alot of screen time compared to Mephiles or make a huge impression like Neo Metal Sonic, but Erazor Djinn is undoubtedly one of the few Sonic villains who has successfully gotten on Sonic's nerves

True, which is why Erazor Djinn does more than just "look at me, I'm a big bad meanie who needs to be put down", which describes Biolizard and Dark Gaia in a nutshell. While Erazor Djinn on the other hand presents himself on who he is and what his personality is like. He shows himself to be a mischief causing killer who enjoys causing pain in others and will go far enough to actually try and kill another living being to achieve his own goals, even if it means having to deal with Sonic

This might be an unpopular option but I believe infinite needs a second chance and better motivation to drive him to villainy, the reason I believe this is because he reminds of silver, both were underutilized, misunderstood and fans have made fun of these characters misfortune, but unlike infinite silver was able to grow as a character in the comics and become useful and back then when he was introduced I would defend silvers character because he has a lot of potential the problem was sega didn't write his character properly and made him annoying but if u give him a chance u can bet silver can be one of the coolest sonic characters out there and I believe infinite is in the same boat until sega get there shit together I believe infinite needs a second chance Anda better thrive to become baddest characters out there

Genuine question: how is Silver annoying? His appearances in every other game since 06 (notably Rivals and Colors) have cemented him as a determined and relentless guy, if a little naive and desperate to solve the problems of the future, which the comics only escalate even further with some of his coolest storylines like Secret Freedom Fighters, Silver Age, and of course the Metal Virus Arc in IDW

To be honest? With what he did to Surge and Kit, I’m thinking A rank.
11:58 “He’s just a poor man’s Chaos” That’s cause he literally is. The Biolizard was modeled after Perfect Chaos while Shadow was modeled after Super Sonic.
11:18 My theory: They originally wanted something big to literally crush the opposition with, hence they made the Bio-Lizard but soon discovered due to its size, power and overall animal behaviour, it was difficult to control (Just imagine trying to transport that thing to battle). They then decided that something smaller, intelligent, more likely to listen to commands and still powerful would be better route....hence shadow was created. Although how the Bio-Lizard survived for years with no food or water is beyond me (Perhaps it’s Back-device acts like food).
33:41 Technically speaking, it was either one of the devs, or one of the plot writers for sonic generations, HAS gone on record saying that the strange creature eggman found in space to create the time eater, was in fact what remained of mephiles after escaping the destroyed timeline, this is why crisis city shows up in generations at all.

He emotionally manipulated his entire kingdom to the point that Shade was convinced of his pure intentions despite how obviously evil he was, and even when she was broken out of his grasp she still was unable to really lead a normal life, needing to follow someone because that's how she was raised. Also despite not really having any "forms" Ix is one of if not *the* strongest base form character we've seen, so that's gotta count for something.

Don't. Mephiles was awesome in 06 for a reason, we don't need him to be ruined in future games.
I like to think part of why project shadow went from a Kaiju to Shadow, and why shadows quilts resemble Super Sonics, is because Gerald and his team were researching the ruins. The mural from S3&K depicting Super(or Hyper if you managed to get the Super Emeralds) Sonic duking it out with Eggman as well as the mural of Perfect Chaos in SA1 could’ve provided Gerald with the idea of what an ultimate life form could be, and I think the proof of this lies in the core of the Ark, that’s shrine is obviously meant to mimic the one on Angel island, at least in the Adventure era. This could be entirely crackpot or hell even untrue, but a solid and sound explanation of why project shadow went from Kaiju to edgie the hedgie from Sonic team would be nice, but I doubt we’ll ever get a proper explanation.
With how quickly you brushed him off, i'm now curious to know you hate Erazor Djinn so much.
Unpopular opinion: Erazor Jinn is an actually alright villain for me. I think the arrow heart was an interesting of keeping suspense through Sonic’s journey, as it’s a race against time before his death. I don’t think Erazor’s motivation was bad in any means. And he has history with Shara that could be further explored.

I definitely see Merlina as an antagonist, but not a villain. The difference between those two terms is that an antagonist is someone who is in opposition/serves as an obstacle or threat to the protagonist, while a villain is a character whose evil actions affect other individuals or the plot itself. Thus, all villains are antagonists (unless said game narrative takes place via the antagonist's perspective making him/her/they the protagonist), but not all antagonists are villains. Hence, because Merlina's actions can all be steemed under "good but drastic" and she is against Sonic's efforts towards the end of Black Knight, she passes the antagonist requirements, but not the villain one. Or at least, that's how I see it. But even still, she's a great character none the less that I feel for.
the editing with that chaos intro FUCKS bro, kudos
I think for SA2, Gerald is more of the villain than the biolizard. Cause the events of that game only happens because of his mission for revenge for what happened on the arc. He manipulates Shadows memories to carry out his plan, leaves a vague journal that "coincidently" made its way to Eggman so that he'd find and wake Shadow up and re-purposed the ark and biolizard to destroy the earth. All to complete a plan that wouldn't fully be carried out till 50 years after his death.
27:32 Best part of the video
Erazor was pretty active and his defeat came down like a castle falling because his defeat was the bitter sweet

The gags in this video drag on for too long but you do have a nice editing style, plus, most of your arguments are valid. I can see a nice future for your channel
I feel like Neo has to be the coolest boss of all time, an evil robotic doppelgänger gets so sick of getting his ass handed to him by the being he’s supposed to defeat that he kidnaps his own boss, upgrades himself with the biggest emerald of all time, copies the powers of some of the strongest life-forms in the universe, becomes a giant metal monster for the sole purpose of punting sonic into the sun. Not to mention the song ‘What I’m made of’ is written for him. It’s like all of Metals goals and drive to succeed put into one song! Epic.
I love that you mentioned vergil and ardyn as villains for example. Ardyn is so often forgotten but his absolutely great (sephiroth too 🙏). And I must say mephilles and shadow have got to be the two best villains in the sonic series
Ah, yes, Metal Sonic, Too Much Water, The Devil™ from The Bible™, [REDACTED] and Memphis, Tennessee, my favorite Sonic villains!
My favorite scene of Sonic Rush is the one where Eggman says "What's up, my Nega?" to his evil twin. On a more serious note, does Orbot count as a meta era villain? He was in Unleashed, albeit with a different voice and color scheme.
I love that you referenced the uncanny resemblance to Biollante from the Godzilla franchise.
Oh that mephiles intro is just too good
5:20 Thank you. Finally someone mentions the similarities between chaos and beerus.😊
There are some wrong part with Dark Gaia The guy specificly only spread Negative Emotions during Night Time while Day Time its Chip's Positive Emotions, its also why its Shattered Pieces only exist in Night Time and its also the reason why Sonic turned into a Werehog, except Sonic's Nature is FAR surperior than most corruption that exist in his homeworld(I say most because whatever The End is, its the most Powerfull Entity in the Sonic Lore that Potentially is still an active threat, the thing is Evangelion Angel level of Eldritch Strength)
honestly I kanda like Erazor Djin, mainly because of how good a job he does of making the player hate him he constantly insults sonic, puts him on timer to bring him the seven world rings or he will die, and even kills Shara while trying to kill sonic, this makes his final defeat where he's forced back into his lamp all the more satisfying
So what are your thoughts on Sage and The End?
honestly- the only reason why I like black doom so much is because of the Snapcube fandub, Doom is my favorite is my favorite *_only_* because S.C fandub is my cannon version of them 💀

**Black Doom Rises from underground ** “HEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WHATS UPPPPPPPPPPPP. ITS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” Shadow: “STAHP”
Honestly infinite gets hate for bad writing more than anything. His origin is he snapped because his team died and he was helpless to stop it. Thus the I am weak line. Give him a good writer and I guarantee he will succeed as a villain or anti hero.

I think that was the case in the og Japanese dub
Is Gerald Robotnik not a main villain? He comes up in several games.

Technically Gerald's the villain of SA2, idk why he considered the Biolizard as that instead since it's barely a character lol Gerald is very dead tho, so that may be an argument against him being an actual villain

Clearly the idea for the video is "villains that are also the final boss fight", not just villains in general
Metal Sonic, is easily my favorite Sonic villain, and Shadow although not an out and out villain is just my most favorite Sonic character in general.
I would have given Dark Gaia A Rank, but close enough to a perfect video. I'll give you the sub and like.
"chaos never came back" Sonic battle: am i a joke to you?
7:50 What is that scene from? I know I seen it, but forgot it's origin.
28:10 that Sticks gravestone did not age well lmao
Your edits and memes are on point; It’s easy to see you are a passionate and talented content creator. Instant sub!
@Blue stride do you plan on making a video on the comicbook chracters?, i read some not much peopel talk about them.
Great vid ! if you need I could run your voice take in a mastering program to get better cleaner voice ( I'm not a pro, but I have the tools )
Unpopular opinion: Zavok and Lyric the Ancient are underrated villains

Trash villains
one of my favorites has got to be mammoth Mogul. I know he was kind of getting humiliated in the early issues but in the later issues he was such a fun villain to read!
to the fkn moon bro keep it up
Perfect Chaos most definitely gave me Biollante vibes and Metal Sonic as a whole is one of the best Sonic villains
I love how he he makes a small edit for most villans
Very entertaining video. At first I just skipped to the end to see who was #1, but the humor really drew me in and encouraged me to watch the full thing. Subscribed asf. You deserve at least 100k subscribers.
I already subbed
I like how all the villains from 2010-2019 aren't even seen as real villains, just losers. That's the curse of the Meta Era.
