I think Gerald Robotnik is the perfect example of how sympathetic doesn't mean forgivable and I havent seen a single person talk about it
#sonic 3#sonic movie 3#gerald robotnik#so i will#like the scene of him manipulating Shadow by forcing him to relive Maria's death...#fucking horrific#and yet in that same scene it shows you how destroyed Gerald was by it#so in that moment you sympathise with him#but as soon as you come out of that flashback you remember what hes just done and suddenly all that sympathy is gone#like yeah the movies are silly we can all agree#Gerald Robotnik has his silly moments here and there#but god the majority of the time hes so cold and calculating and manipulative to those around him#people you expect him to care about#people he probably wouldve have cared about in the case of Eggman or did care about in the case of Shadow#'They want to take Shadow from us Maria'#from US.#yet when Shadow betrays him he only remarks that he was once so useful to him#this man does not care about anyone and he never will again#and so the movie does not expect you to care about him#its so expertly crafted and i want to talk about this more so so badly but nobody is going to take this seriously#because its fucking sonic the hedgehog 3 and somehow non sonic fans are immune to realising this movie is peak fiction#god im so insane over everything about it#i love how unimportant they made his death. it was so quick and they made a point of making it into a complete joke#every other death or near death experience in this franchise#are treated with serverity and intense emotional moments like longclaws death and sonics near death in 1#and even like characters that most people wont care about like commander walters are given a decent amount of respect#yet Gerald gets fucking bugzapped and is not mentioned again#its just so perfect because thats literlly what he was going to do to everyone#they wouldve had barely any time to come to terms with their deaths#some people may not have even noticed they wouldve just been there one moment and gone the next just like Gerald
