I know terrorism has always been a sensetive matter since the fall of the towers, ISIS and other subjects of terrorism in modern news we hear about daily, which is perhaps why most TV villains have gone soft these days to be more appropriate to the modern young audience.

But I completely support Dr. Eggman as a terrorist (blowing up public property, threatening to kill to establish power) because it's all the more satisfying and brilliant when Sonic stops him.

Not simply coming to a truce just because of Koopaling knock-offs.

It's sad because if Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 was the brand new upcoming game, I doubt Eggman trying to blow up Station Square with a missle or putting a gun like blaster to Amys head would pass as acceptable for the modern audience.

I felt exactly how Tails felt when he saw Dr. Eggman fire that missle at Station Square. I did not expected this twist I genuinely at the time and had that "We're ed" feeling seeing it flying over the street towards Speed Highway. And in SA2 when Sonic claims Eggman now as a big time villain, I totally agreed with him. Dr. Eggman didn't use any fancy machines to threaten Amy, just a gun to her skull.

I want Dr. Eggman to install that fear to me as a player again. That's exactly how I feel. Screw the bloody policies and push through the boundaries to bring back the Eggman persona we want. Terrorism happens everyday and I don't worry too much about it. So how come it should affect our franchise?
