    That's the exact set of thoughts I had.

    I'm glad seeing Sonic 3 getting referenced, but the cop stuff was in the movies from the start. The last movie felt like it was more about a guy who wanted to be a good cop than anything else.

    Foiling a robbery is easy short hand for action movies to make a character look like a good guy and a badass at the same time. I mean he could use his super speed to sabotage things like oil pipelines or deforestation (two things which he's shown to do and act as part of Sonic's environmentalist themes), but that would be political.

    Brb, writing fanfiction where Sonic helps thwart blackwater mercenaries.

      Sonic in Sonic Adventure 2: "Sheesh! There always seem to be a lotta police around when ya DON'T need 'em!"

      In the games it's canon that Sonic hates the police and has been arrested.

      I wish that had been carried over into the movies.
