#destroying the misinfo spreaders with facts and knowledge lol

[egg-emperor]

They're most likely referring to this scene from the Birthday on Windy Hill event, as I've seen others bring it up in this discussion before

Which I find hilarious and it's about time I give the full context that they don't

It's literally just supposed to be him attempting to trick and convince them he's so noble and heroic and therefore more worthy because he's jealous that he's not getting a birthday party lol

But even fucking Knuckles isn't buying it

And Knuckles is absolutely right obviously, Eggman's only attempted reasoning is trying to frame things he only did for his own benefit in a better more positive light

Because he clearly only ever discovered new continents in search for power and opportunities to use for himself and he builds theme parks for himself- because he wants to take over the world for himself and be the center of attention, just like his TailsTube ep put it

And if you look again at all his past plans and schemes like Eggman suggests, that's all you really see but he's trying his best to lie lol

But then he's like well as if I give a fuck what you think anyway- you fell into my trap and I'm gonna kill you lol

So yeah on top of that it was also just a trick so he could then spring the Death Egg on them

This isn't the first time he tries to trick and trap them in this event's story either, he had Orbot and Cubot lie about not knowing his whereabouts so he could do it earlier

And earlier in the event he was being cruel to the animals he's now claiming to be trying to do good for, as he does frequently throughout the game in rather sadistic ways as he insults and bullies them:

And then he tries to pull a whole "woe is me, why do you have to make my life so difficult" to preface him pretending he's trying to be some noble hero deserving of a party in his jealousy

So yeah he's already trying to trick them and has a poor old me act a couple of scenes prior to yet again trying both on with them again in the part people take out of context to twist to suit their narrative. The truth is much funnier and way more Eggman XD

But even so, I'm pretty sure Runners isn't supposed to be canon since it's not even playable anymore (I miss it sm) and they have characters like Chip and Mephiles etc in it, the former being in this very bday event which wouldn't make sense

That's why whenever I personally include Runners related things in my analysis which I have here and there, I just use them as bonus pieces of info and only if they add up with/reiterate/emphasize solid already existing canon things that we already know

So it wouldn't matter if that had been true that this was a genuine scene and OOC anyway because it likely isn't canon. But it's not and it's very in character so lol. It'd be nice if people didn't remove the context from the scene and try to play it as him being genuine when he's clearly trying to trick them and pull a woe is me act. Very disappointed in the wiki for the misinformation, especially when many can't find it to see the context

It's just another of the many times he's lied and tried to trick others by framing his actions as good. Even though he willingly, intentionally, and knowingly hurts people and animals alike and only does everything for his own selfish interests. Hell he intends to hurt people with the very theme parks he attempted to use as an example of his good, as he makes it very obvious in Unleashed with Eggmanland and Colors by his own words and admission. (Example: He says Planet Wisp isn't dangerous enough for visitors yet and says to ignore anything evil they might have seen there)

He knows exactly what he's doing and calls himself, his actions, and his creations evil all the time. He has never once genuinely believed he was doing the right thing for anyone but himself. The only way the world will be a "better place" is by his own twisted selfish definition lol

It's another funny case of fans believing exactly what the character wants them to, like I talked about just the other day. Eggman really does deserve that award for his acting XD

I've never played Sonic Runners, so can anyone help me out with this? A Reddit post quoted the Sonic fan wiki, which says:

Because of [Eggman's] lack of common sense, he also appears to be blind about the catastrophes he causes, believing that these are actually good works of his for the well being of humanity and animals alike. (Sonic Runners)

But I tried looking up the script for the game, and all I found was a line where Eggman laments his plans of turning animals into soldiers being foiled:

(...I'm thinking maybe I should stop looking at the Sonic fan wiki for an accurate transcription of the script too because it's prone to errors. Their transcript of SatSR neglects the fact that Erazor Djinn is called "the Erazor Djinn" by Shahra most of the time.)

Does Sonic Runners have a manual? Because if it does, I can't find it.
