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.

    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.

    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

    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

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

    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).

    i honestly think that Zavok is very underrated calm, calculative, honorable, ruthless, strongest mortal Sonic ever faced as for those who say who is evil for the sake of being evil well... yeah, he is based on a demon or oni, they are evil in nature also IDW that shows that it wasn't Lost World that was the problem, it's writers that are the problem

    Why you done did my boy Ix so dirty? I thought he was a cool villain, he's basically an evil dictator who's so powerful and menacing that he scared an entire dimension of convicts into serving him unconditionally. 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. I think he deserves more credit then you're giving him.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
