Why is Dr. Eggman still the villain?

[Cwispy]

Why do they continue to use this Joke of a character as the bad guy every. Single. Game. I liked him way more in the adventure era because he’s about his business. Now he’s not serious at all and is a complete joke. After watching the trailers for this game, I was disappointed to see his robots out and about and other Eggman themed things. I want a different original villain and I think we got one but I really really hope she’s not over shadowed by Eggman. I’m tired of, you thought the villain was someone else the whole time but it was me, Eggman like we got in generations and forces.

The problem with Eggman now is all down to Pontaff and how they turned the Sonic games into cheap Saturday morning cartoon characters.

It would be cool if they ever reboot Sonic to be in line with SATAM and the comics. Snivley and Mammoth Mougal would make excellent villains. The latter especially since he had the freedom fighters and chaotix fight amongst themselves while he gathered the chaos emeralds Thanos style

True but I don't think that's the problem now anymore since Pontaff has finally left.

At least it's not Sonic Boom. I mean... It could be worse... I guess we'll have to see...

Won't happen because SoJ doesn't want to alienate Japanese audiences.

Except that's not really an Eggman problem, but rather one that applies to the entire cast. The 2010's writers just do not understand what made these characters good in the first place.

To be fair, Boom was its own continuity meant for a different audience compared to the main series.

I mean Ganon is the final boss in almost every Zelda games.

and that's what makes zelda story boring. (although I don't play it for the story)

Then if you don't play it for the story how can you find it boring?

Also Nintendo is gameplay first story second and Zelda games have various stories outside of the triforce, Zelda and ganon.

Sonic in videogames isn't the same as in the comics.

The story can't work as well in a video game.

And to be honest Mammoth should stay in the comics as Robotnik is the main antagonist here.

"Alienate"? I mean Sonic CD is clearly thought as a Japanese game yet it's one of the best.

Alienate as in no-one in Japan knows who the SATAM crew are.

With a reboot that wouldn't necessarily be a problem as most characters should get a first time introduction in a reboot.

SatAM isn't canon to the games at all.
