Sonic Discussion

Is it just me or was the Scene with Sonic & Metal Sonic at the Lava(on the Ice Place) somewhat similar to the Anakin/Obi-Wan Scene on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith? XD

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Even Doug Walker noticed that.

@Dr_Osaka
…Damn XD

Jim Carrey’s Robotnik is definitely a really interesting character study:

He was an orphan without any family, was bullied at school which caused him to fight back, and spent his years studying and learning until he could build the perfect machines to do what man can’t. He developed a hate for humanity and thus favors machines because they are more efficient and take orders without push-back; the only person he trusts is Agent Stone, but even then he treats him like he’s nothing to him even though he helps the doctor without question.
Eventually he is defeated by Sonic and sent to the mushroom planet where he is only with no one but a rock that looks like Stone. This was a really fitting scenario because it parallels Sonic’s story where he started out alone, but gained friends and a family.
Robotnik would eventually then escape the mushroom planet with the help of Knuckles, and in tern ends up using him just to get his hands on the Master Emerald; after his betrayal, Knuckles joins Sonic and they work together to defeat Robotnik showing the power of friendship and how Robotnik’s constant need to not make friends and only use people (even Stone who still helps him despite everything that has happened).
In a deleted scene from the 3rd movie, it showed that after the defeat of the Death Egg Robot, he found Robobnik, rescued him and nursed him back to health which again continued to show how much Stone cared for the doctor, of course Robotnik continues to treat him poorly; after that Ivo meets his grandfather Gerald Robotnik and finally gets a chance to have an actual family for once which doesn’t make him less evil but shows what he was missing. Stone realizes there was more to Gerald and Shadow’s plan and tried to warn Ivo, but he continuesto push Stone away like he always does. Of course Ivo does find out what Gerald was planning which was to destroy Earth along with themselves, Ivo tried to convince him not to and even made a point about how he has a family now, but Gerald disregarded him even telling him he will never be like what Maria was to him. Ivo then went out of his way to sacrifice himself in order to stop the eclipse canon from destroying Earth with it’s laser and self destruction, and as he’s doing so sends out a message to Stone apologizing for always treating him poorly showing that in those last few moments Ivo finally realized the purpose of friendship and companionship, something he wanted from his grandfather but didn’t get.

I gotta hand it to Fowler, he really cooked with Robotnik’s character in these movies.
