#i also think it’s funny to give the agents Associations like robotnik with his robots

[year2000electronics]

i don’t see this talked about very often bc it is largely unimportant to the scheme of things but there is like. a debate to be had, right. until sonic 2 stone was our One named government agent. and he is always addressed as agent stone or stone which gives it a very Last Name Gravitas. however the name ‘stone’ being both a feasible last name and just a random object name means that like. stone could be his last name. or it could be a code name.

and the thing is i don’t know if movie 2 ever answered that which really makes me laugh because we do now have a second named agent, but when he’s actively known to be on duty he’s only addressed as ‘agent’, and ‘agent handel (? no official spelling yet)’. which also falls into this theme of ‘name that could be both a real name or a code name’ ie handel sounds exactly like Handle

i guess you can say commander walters kinda bursts this bubble unless you count him as separate from Agents or try to kinda stretch to make it work (like Waters or Altars or something) but i feel like since he’s a commander he doesn’t disrupt my Agent Theory. so here are my conclusions about Dumb Agent Theory

1. the agents do indeed use code names, which means we are missing a first AND last name for stone

2. the agents don’t use code names, and these two’s naming isn’t actually a convention and no other agents would go along with this

3. the agents don’t use code names, BUT they all coincidentally all have names that sound like random object names. by accident.

#sonic movie #i like believing my agent theory (truth be told the third option is what i believe) #because i feel like it matches well with robotnik’s name being Robotnik #like Doctor Robots doesn’t seem like an obvious name when like. #Agent Stone and Agent Handel and Agent Duster and Agent Wood exist #(the last two i made up sorry) #i also think it’s funny to give the agents Associations like robotnik with his robots #stone is known for being stone-faced (his cold professional nature esp when someone who isn’t botnik is there) #also the term ‘my rock’ about like someone sturdy. someone you can rely on. like how robotnik can rely on stone #(also stones being grey and cold and circular like robots but undeniably from nature #ALSO LITERAL STONE STONE FROM MUSHROOM WORLD. LOL #as for randall i have less on him but like... #i can think of at least 3 ways to match the meaning of handle to him #handle as in handling a situation... randall is clearly good at handling people if he was sent to be a people person incognito... #handle as in ‘a name or nickname’ which relates to him like. going incognito also. man of many names #handle as in a literal physical handle like a pan handle or a door handle bc he’s the one holding up the operation to sell the act #this is absolutely nothing i’m dolores cornposting again but. idk #it’s fun it’s quirky and it kinda unifies the agents slash former agents #sonic #sonic 2 spoilers #sonic spoilers #sonic movie spoilers #have at queue! #(also i just remembered walters) #i’m more inclined to say if he had a word it might be Alters as in altering a document- editing something #because he has his lines about saying that robotnik never existed and he clearly knows project shadow but maybe he tried to hide something #stone is stone-faced and sturdy. handel handles situations well. walters alters government documents
