With Mike Pollock doing the voice acting, it makes feel like the 4Kids cast for the Sonic characters must comeback. Their voice acting would make future generations of Sonic even greater like back 2003 to the first Sonic and Sega racing game, that was how long the 4Kids voice acting lasted there.

Hypothetical Team Dark memos: I'm surprised to see Shadow here, of all people. I've noticed he seems unfocused, lately. Perhaps spending less time with G.U.N. has made him directionless. He's prone to lashing out. Just wish he didn't do it towards me. I would've loved to see him by my side once again. Maybe learn more about my grandfather, and Maria. His power is wasted competing against Sonic. Now that Shadow's here, it makes sense to see the lovely Rouge sneaking about. There's no need. I'm trapped in Cyberspace and I have no treasure on-hand for her to pillage.... unless she's after Sage, of course. Still, I can't help but miss our truce. I bet if Rouge and Sage teamed up, I'd have solved every mystery this island has to offer by now! Ugh... I was hoping they didn't bring Omega with them. E-123 was supposed to be the pinnacle of my special forces. A robot to nigh equal Metal Sonic in efficiency, without all the errors I made building Beta, Gamma, or Zero! That free will of his not only turned against me, but manifested into endless rage. Against me. At least when Omega decides to demolish my bases, I have an opportunity to study him, and make sure I NEVER make those mistakes again.

To be fair, it's not the first time Eggman's been trapped alone somewhere.

@raelogan

@@EggEmperor Yeah, like, he immediately went from thinking of her as a program to thinking of her with the potential to grow as a human like entity. He humanized her early on, and considering that Eggman essentially says that his family didn't pay much mind to him growing up because they were grieving the loss of Maria and Gerald, when he could relate because he didn't know them well enough to do so as well... Him latching onto Sage as a fatherly figure and expressing interest if she wants to be referred to as software or as a person is really interesting. He's reacting to this potential lifeform with the intent to not neglect like he'd been. "I wonder if she has a preference" being essentially "I wonder how she thinks of her situation and if that even matters to her." And considering he treats his favorite sentient robots as his "children", and they've all been male coded AI so far ((I think the E-Series, if I recall, were all referred to as "he" and collective used terms like "brothers" among themselves, of the ones that speak)), he's not sure how to approach Sage like he can with Metal, Cubot and Orbot. Sage even muses at some point if the other Eggman Robots would be considered her brothers, specifically using the term "brothers". One of the Sonic Channel artworks set after this game has Eggman programming in a new pair of dress shoes for Sage just so she can have something nice, instead of reworking her to be more like a henchman like his other creations. Sage can grow and learn like an organic being, so he's just wondering if it's right to still refer to her as a non-sentient "it", and choosing to as what she'd prefer instead of insisting that he gets to decide because he made her is just a nice little side narrative on "You don't own your offspring's autonomy". Sage has a choice to do and be who she wants, and she chose to be an ally to Sonic and save everyone, just to be sure Eggman was able to escape Cyber Space. Having a "daughter" is all new to him, and I think really that's what the memo was meant to imply. ... Then again, I might be looking a little too much into it, but I just liked the idea that Eggman was taking time to consider someone else's input instead of assuming he had to be the most correct just because he's the smartest guy there. 👀

Ian's written Eggman pretty much like he has in the comics. Well maybe a little less crazy. Still, one of the things that's similar is Eggman's respect for the heroes. Namely Tails. He generally recognizes Tails as a man..er...a fox of science so that might be why. Ian did this in the Mega Man comics with Dr Wily too. It really makes the villains that much more interesting when they have a kind side behind all the megalomania.

3:06 for this to be true, it would mean Koco and Chao are the same species. It begs the question as to why some of the ancients became Chao and why some stayed as Koco in the 1st place. Maybe this "radiation" that Eggman mentions didn't affect the Starfall Islands for some odd reason. This also means Chaos, God of Destruction, is indeed an ancient, but one of the those affected by said "radiation". Starting out as a Chao, only to be mutated into something that strongly resembles its ancestors. This also makes a lot of sense considering its role as a guardian of the chaos emeralds and the Chao. Gotta say, I'm loving getting some new lore to tie in to the already existing lore.

It seems like they are bringing game Eggman closer to comic Eggman. Eggman in the comics is a bit different. He care a lot more about Metall Sonic in the comics and sort of sees him as his greatest creation and his son at the same time. Although that can get a tad creepy at times like when he ordered Metall Sonic to attack with the words: "Kill for daddy."

I always thought it was wasted potential that Sonic never got an adventure game like Sam & Max. They could have even gotten a crossover.

In all honesty, the entire "Eggman genuinely loves Sage" is confusing to me since, well, she's an AI. Hasn't he made multiple before and basically used them as a means to an end? This also reminds me of my gripes with Bowser's character in Origami King. If your main villain is mysteriously and randomly softened up to like your newly introduced character, then there might be an issue with your script lol. Bowser would never give Olivia, someone who has benefited him about as well as Mario's other allies of the week (i.e. very minimally), a heartfelt pep talk, identically to how Eggman shouldn't be genuinely feeling for an AI he created and could therefore manipulate in any way he wanted. It's fine if villains have humanity or redeeming qualms. But such things have to be brought in naturally or consistently.

Honestly, you can’t deny that Bowser has always had a soft spot for most non-Mario things. Bowser has always been a goofier and softer villain when he’s not mid-scheme. And Eggman getting attached to Sage is also a symptom of him being helpless in Cyber Space with only Sage to protect him, which caused his emotional walls to falter. If he wasn’t trapped, this epiphany about his eluded desire for family likely wouldn’t have surfaced nearly as easily.
