Seeing Sonic in motion put the fear of god into me.
Yeah, it's just Jim Carrey as a mad scientist, not Eggman. When I think Eggman, I think Mike Pollock, or Deem Bristow, or Long John Baldry. Or Mike Pollock again.Jim Carrey is being funny, as Jim Carrey, because he's playing himself. Not really Eggman.
It's not a weird implication. It's outright stated fact - they permanently killed Robotnik in issue 50, which prompted a Robotnik from another dimension, one where he had utterly won but as a result was also utterly bored, to step in.This resulted in the weird implication that Eggman is deliberately handicapping himself because he likes Sonic, or at least likes hating him, and wants to keep on fighting him.

Thus, Eggman knows what victory feels like. And he hates it. As he says in those pages linked in that Reddit thread, it's all a game.
It's really not because the comic back then was infamously terrible.I've never actually read that far back in the history; that's amazing.
The Archie Eggman developed in a weird state of adversity between Archie, who wanted to write a dangerous, competent villain, and Sega, who mandated that Eggman could never really win when up against Sonic. This resulted in the weird implication that Eggman is deliberately handicapping himself because he likes Sonic, or at least likes hating him, and wants to keep on fighting him.
He's weirdly compelling for a character that started as a generic evil scientist.
They did, reportedly.Sweet buttery fuck that is a horrifying and disastrous take on a design for him, with such a horrifically generic movie plot along with that.. thing. Did SEGA endorse this, object to it in some way, or at least say 'what on earth is this mutant abomination of a beloved character? how are you people okay with this?'
