Well fucks? Get to it!
I LOVE the parallels between Gerald and Eggman in Sonic 3. ESPECIALLY with how they treat Shadow/Stone (their respective henchman/helper).
Eggman's BLATANTLY honest with Stone, and certainly blunt, but he actually DOES care about him. In Sonic 1, he looks down on Stone, calling him a sycophant and stupid ("Way to go, you got that one"). In Sonic 2, he doesn't seem to hold Stone in a higher regard, saying that he and Knuckles should ditch him, and leave him at the Mean Bean. While Stone's completely loyal to him, and it's clear that he cares about Eggman, it's only in Sonic 3 when Eggman actually realizes that Stone IS the only person who ever cared for him.
Meanwhile, Gerald's manipulative. He seems to talk down to Shadow, primarily ordering him around and only bothering to keep him out of harms way during the London heist, BEFORE he has access to the Eclipse Canon. He actively preys on Shadow's grief, telling him that he needs to remember that Maria was taken from them, and that humanity deserves to be destroyed. Gerald doesn't even bother with correcting Eggman when he calls Shadow a "Thermonuclear gerbil". And when Gerald sees that Shadow is now working with Sonic, he says "I see you chosen betrayal. And you were once so useful to me."
Gerald was (likely) only using Shadow as a tool, something he could discard when it no longer had a purpose. But Eggman WANTED to keep Stone around. He IS the reason that Eggman tried to save the world. To Eggman, Stone was MORE than a henchman and sychophant. He was a sychofriend.
5 (possibly) underrated things I always remember about Sonic Boom:
1. Amy is the only member of Team Sonic that can cook, and when everyone else tried, it was purple-ish slop
2. Meh Burgers are vegan, and are made of shredded newspaper and library paste. Sonic is also the only one paying full price.
3. Orbit and Cubot willingly eat marshmallows, despite knowing that it’ll mess with their circuitry
4. Sonic canonically owns glasses, but never wears them (and whether they’re real or fake is up to interpretation).
5. Eggman wasn’t a doctor, and the entirety of Hedgehog Village had a musical number to spread the word.

- He’s the tallest member of the team - After being pinned under the girders during the fight with Corroder, his legs had to be remade. He is the only one that knows this. - Bulk likes to read whenever he can - He and Stringer tend to swap weapons during training - Bulk tends to put himself between a villain and a rookie, often acting as a shield. - All of his armor has more chips/scratching/dents than the rest of the Alpha 1 team's armor
