#sonic isn't judge jury and executioner. i doubt he thinks it's his place to kill someone as punishment for their crimes

I wonder why ppl interpret sonic not jumping at the chance to kill an enemy as him giving "second chances" to bad guys who don't deserve it like eggman

#ramblings #yes that includes writers who worked on actual sonic media #like ian flynn. i like his work but this is one thing that keeps bugging me abt the way he writes sonic in the comics #i'm glad it doesn't seem to be transferring to the games he's working on #since he's working even more directly with sega now #like idk maybe the literal teenager just doesn't wanna kill ppl even if they do horrible things #also it's fiction with an audience of mostly children like. you can't expect it to go that far #and yeah he has Technically killed someone before with erazor djinn #but he's immortal so like. he's technically not dead maybe. just can't hurt anyone anymore #like i don't think he'd care if someone like eggman died in on of their battles #but he's not going out of his way to murder him #and it's not like he's just letting him go most of the time either. eggman is just good at making a getaway #sonic isn't judge jury and executioner. i doubt he thinks it's his place to kill someone as punishment for their crimes #he'd rather let nature do it. or let them die from their own hubris #but him not going out of his way to kill his enemies doesn't mean he's giving them a second chance #and expecting them to turn over a new leaf then being shocked when they don't every single time #he knows better than that #i don't think it's that complicated #like 'not wanting to kill ppl as a literal kid' and 'not forgiving ppl for horrible crimes' are two ideas that can coexist i think #him not wanting to kill doesn't need to be justified as him giving second chances or whatever
