you arent gonna like this answer, but-

The writing team: “Yeah this story is going great so far!” Some random writer: “Wouldn’t it be fucking hilarious if Sonic just ignored Tails’ warning and causes the conflict to happen?” “…Actually-“

sonic being a dumbass =/= sonic doing what he thinks is the right thing despite what others think

Whenever Sonic does something brash or extra it always goes right in the grand scheme of things but in either Lost World where doing that is used as a flaw people scream. When Sonic Prime does it people scream. It's not perfect but it's a humane error he's caught lackin by.

Yeah but Sonic shouldn't act like a dumbass

lost world had a good story actually. like the dialogue is really poorly executed half the time but it took sonic tails and eggman in interesting directions idc.

im convinced this story was created by eggman and really plays out differently in universe

Nah this scene funny asf cuz the only person it affected was Eggman😭 shoulda kicked it further

Sonic should have owned this decision more. I think it makes sense for Sonic to think freeing them from Eggman’s control is the right move even if they become stronger and try to do bad stuff. He was gonna defeat a bad guy either way, what difference between EM vs D6?

People be shitting on this scene but it’s honestly perfectly in character and that’s why I love it! Had it been anyone else he likely would’ve heard out Tails, but it’s Eggman! Of course he’s going to make a brash decision and make a joke out of it too!

This was him being stupid, not being moral ambiguous
