Well in the new Sonic they're made him the police off to arrest Shadow.
Look I'm probably too old to give a shit about this anymore, but god damn do I hate how out of character movie Sonic is.
Sonic is an anarchist. He hates cops, that's true of all the mainline games.
Even that anime from the 2000s got that right.
Movie Sonic is a wimpy uncool dweeb that want's to be a cop. I couldn't think of anything more not-Sonic than that.
I hated that they made him best buddies with a cop.
They created an alternate universe where the cops are so kindhearted that James Marsden's character is considered an average cop.
The guy's sister in law is portrayed as hating him for no good reason. She's Black and her sister married a cop in fucking small town Montana.
Sonic would fucking hate the US. He'd see how fucked up we are to animals. Sonic would immediately start a leftist revolution. Imagine how dope that would be for a Sonic game.
But no, gotta have the Sonic who stands for the flag and doesn't care where his chili dogs come from.
I'm kinda going in a lot of directions with this, but it sucks seeing sonic okay with the status quo.
One of the earliest features in his games was that he saved animals. Up until sonic adventure 2, sonic would free animals because that was his thing. He dismantled drilling operations and factories. He actively fought a guy who exploited nature for bullshit self interest.
But they present a version of Sonic who could enter our world and not have a problem with it.
The movies are just so badly conceived that I cannot believe it enough to suspend my disbelief.
Ironically the original fucked up Sonic design for the movie was perfectly representative of the fucked up writing
Everyone loves the nice small town cop and he refuses to join the SFPD so he can stay in his home town
GUN arrested him in SA2, in the second movie they're the good guys!
Robotnik worked for the US military too and they explicitly say he did coups and shit. That's not what makes him the bad guy, it's when he turns on his masters.
Hate to break it to you but sonic is ancap. That's why he's always collecting gold rings.
Those rings give immortality when held. Thats way too useful for something an Ancap would be interested in.
Relevant BDG. TL;DW: Sonic lived in litter and his father died in toxic waste. Most the games changed a lot, but he has canonically been anti-corporate from day 1.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
And if this is anything like the game universe then Shadow will join the army afterwards
