#with all the metal virus shit and everything that happens after both in the comics and in other media

Sonic should be mad abt being a hero and having all this pressure put on him. He should be mad and yell abt how he never wanted to be a hero and that he never was a hero and that he was just doing the right thing bc that's what everyone should do

He should have a breakdown I think

lol saw people are talking a bit about how Starline isn't mentioned in future solicitations or something and wonder what happens to him in #50. it's wishful thinking but if they finally take a break from using Starline all the time and hopefully also focus more on Eggman in that time instead of making him disappear in the same way for ages yet again, it would only be fair and he absolutely deserves it. if they don't focus on him enough and give him a more consistent important role in the stories, there's never going to be a chance for him to improve.

everyone complains like "ugh it's so boring when we get the same villain all the time with Eggman" but say nothing about how Eggman has barely been treated as important of a character to the plot for a good amount of time since the comic fucking started while it's usually always Starline Starline Starline that gets way more focus instead. they never say they're getting bored because they think he's better then Eggman for many reasons, which often include believing Eggman is as inferior as this comic keeps treating him and nowhere near as evil.

but with Starline's focus in the Metal Virus arc, Bad Guys, 2020 annual, Chao racing arc whatever it was called they had Clutch but still had to involve Starline, the Belle arc, Imposter Syndrome, and main issues since. maybe I'm forgetting something because I honestly don't pay enough attention to non Eggman involved arcs and issues anymore because I got really bored. and then when Eggman is actually there for once it's only a bit of focus for two issues max at a time but usually less, and it's instead the D6 and now Surge and Kit as other villains that are getting the most.

and this isn't just me being like "waaa other villains that aren't my husbando are hogging all the spotlight" though I can't lie that is a little part of it, you know me lol but also they genuinely haven't been balancing out the focus of villains well at all. and never seeing the main villain of the series for months on end while favoring Starline's excessive appearances in everything as if he really is the Eggman replacement he wants to be and how him and almost all other villains shit on Eggman really sucks. and why do we never get to know what Eggman is doing behind the scenes for these massive breaks in appearing? is he just sitting on his beautiful sexy fat ass? lol and it's like okay but please tell or show me because it's like he just phases out of existence every time he disappears and the only thing that reminds people he exists are abandoned bases and other villains shitting on him. but I feel it's because they don't know what he's supposed to be doing, they don't care to come up with anything.

and most damaging is how they've done Eggman so dirty to try to make Starline seem better and more evil that readers see him as a "poor innocent victim with Tinker as his true self trapped in "this nightmare" of being Eggman who was forced into it by super evil nasty Starline who's the most evil ever and totally the only one that's done fucked up gaslighting and been horrible to his creations and lackeys because Eggman is such a super great wholesome dad and caring person that's never done way more fucked up shit before!!!!" /s and if they don't do that then they believe Eggman is dumb like the comic tried to portray him as and refuse to acknowledge his evil and say Starline is more better and evil that way too.

I know I'm probably asking for too much by not only wishing that Starline gets much less focus at last after #50 and gets even a little less plot significance like Eggman has for most of the comic since it started, and for them to actually treat Eggman like the main evil intelligent villain of the series that he is for once. though it shouldn't be too much but this is IDW. and I guess really I should be prepared for the possibility of them focusing way more on other villains instead, even if Starline does disappear for a little bit. because apparently both fans and writers think Eggman is so boring, ignore all his potential, and truly just a loser.

even after everything there's still part of me that keeps desperately hoping and wishing for more good Eggman writing and an improving portrayal, even though I may end up a huge fool again. I just want my husband to get at least some of what he deserves :')
