Honestly the thing I'm most worried about uf they make Eggman fat in Sonic 3 is I'm 95 percent sure they're going to come up with a BS excuse.

Like yes Eggman was planned to slowly turn more game Eggman like as the movies progress (Sonic 1 gave him his red outfit in the end, Sonic 2 made him bald, gave him the signature stache and made him a bit crazy, Sonic 3 might be giving him his signature bulk and probably some other things) and it sucks that they'd have to use a fat suit in order to get Jim to look the part but I don't want it them to phone it in as something like it being an effect of absorbing the Master Emerald and I'll be real disappointed if its something like 'oh, he just let himself go'

Maybe Eggman had a scientific reason to bulk up, or maybe he just thought he looked good with some extra weight, or maybe it is a side effect of something but he knew about it before hand and was okay with it. As long as its more of a choice then I think I'd be more okay with it.

we dont really have the full context yet of course but the descriptions of the teaser going around are making it sound like they went with the "he let himself go and gained a lot of weight" explanation. and idk man maybe it just sounds bad out of context but im tired of fatness being portrayed as gross and a negative trait and weight gain being used to signify a character becoming Worse in some way. fat people are just people and the body type someone has doesnt have any morals attached to it. again maybe it just sounds bad out of context and the movie wont make his weight gain into a joke but my hopes arent high because being weird about fat people is not new for sonic media at all

#ive been saying this forever but they should have just hired a fat actor to begin with since hes always bene a fat character #and theyve always planned to have him gain weight eventually anyway like. whats the point in making him skinny at first #asks #also please for the love of god . dont have sonic making 5 million fat jokes like he was doing in a lot of the older comics/shows #im all for sonic making fun of eggman i think its funny but having the protagonist of your kids movie body shaming people #and this being portrayed as funny and justified issss. not great. even if its directed at a villain. #and its not hard to just not include that sort of thing at all #i would lvoe to be proven wrong and for them to not stoop that low #but idk.
