(DANNICS) TOPIC OF THE WEEK #2 – Eggman, enemy or friend?
Dr. Eggman is out of the question canonically the evil plotter in most Sonic Games and Stories. Yet there have been moments and situations where Eggman shows he would never be a sole pure Enemy for Sonic or his friends since that would mean that he would to the darkest, out of hatred want him well… gone. Eggman always wants to beat Sonic, conquer the world and create Eggmanland. Beating Sonic doesn’t necessarily mean that he sees himself as his worst enemy because worst enemies would hate Sonic and everything about Sonic to the deepest. In Sonic Lost World for example he saves Sonic from directly falling into Lava, yes kind off the link it to his end scheme but a sole sonic hating enemy would rather throw him themselfs down the Lava instead of grabing even on to him.
Also there is many many dialogue of them just being more like eternal rivals trash talking and so on. Real enemys wouldn’t even get to that part, it would immediatley come to angerous actions.
None the less in my opinion it is not an easy question to answer. It also depends a little bit on how you define the status being an enemy or what actions show that someone is somebodys enemy.
I’m gonna say Eggman is in actions he does for achieving goals like building Eggmanland, evil and an enemy in the Sonic Universe but is less directly an enemy to character relationships. More like an deep rival to the most.
