#him as a boy. i cant recall any other scene in the whole franchise where something like that happens. where for a brief moment

great now im thinking about sa2 again. it always circles back to this

#specifically thinking about eggman and tails' conversation at the very end. that shit is so insane i NEED more stuff like that #there is something about sa2's story that has never been replicated exactly again. and i think a part of that is just how much #the end of everything there seemed to affect just about everyone involved. #sonic and rouge were both saddened by shadow's death. and from the way eggman talks about it in shadow the hedgehog when admitting #that shadow isnt actually an android. it seems like he was also kind of shaken up from it. even tho of course most of it was his fault #like sa2's end just had this feeling of being So crazy and serious and a huge threat. theres been other times that the whole planet was #at risk of being destroyed. but i think what separates it and makes it feel so much more impactful is the aftermath #like not only did everyone including eggman have to team up to stop this threat. which already ups the stakes #but afterwards. that brief moment of peace. im constantly thinking about that ending cutscene #everything was so serious and impactful that after it was all over. they couldnt just go back to normal. everyone involved had to just. #take a moment #the fact that eggman just stands there. and speaks very genuinely to TAILS of all people. about his grandfather and how he idolized #him as a boy. i cant recall any other scene in the whole franchise where something like that happens. where for a brief moment #they arent fighting and eggman just. chills there with them. and speaks to them as if they aren't heroes and villain #they've had other alliances sure. but nothing like this where they just. coexist. #ive always been so obsessed with it. god #serena.txt
