i think gerald robotnik being alive and purresent throughout the film makes the story drastically worse. the narrative hook of shadow driving the entire story to his* own ends as soon as he is released from statis is much more compelling to me, purrsonally. it’s weird to see him stand around letting gerald take charge during a significant section of the movie

* kind of not his, but whatever

@vaporeon_ in sonic 3 (movie), eggman has an mpreg-ish joke and is arguably shipped with his grandfather (i cannot overemphasize the extent to which week incestuous nature to their dynamic is basically textual. they have a scene of bonding activities with a song with explicitly romantic lyrics playing in the background)

@coriander mpregg. eggcest.
