00:00Sonic X Episode 6
00:02You know, it always seems like Sonic is just doing stuff for no reason when he's alone in the show.
00:06Because he doesn't explain anything to us.
00:09What was the point of him running around outside?
00:12And yet Amy's infatuated with him because of that.
00:16Being mysterious is not a good thing.
00:19It means the writer was too lazy to think of a character's motivations and personality properly.
00:25And explain it.
00:26Or do it fast enough.
00:29Lack of something is not something.
00:31It's frustrating to not know something that should have easily been explained.
00:36Sonic could have just told us I'm looking for the Chaos Emeralds.
00:39But even then I refuse to believe he hasn't found them all already.
00:43Anyways, Chris tells Sonic and friends to at least try to stay out of sight while his parents are home.
00:48And then he ends up falling down the stairs.
00:51That broke all of his limbs.
00:52No, of course it didn't.
00:54Somehow he's not injured at all, right?
00:57There sure is a lot of wasted space in this episode that's not worth talking about.
01:02Basically, Chuck tells us about how Chris's parents are rich, busy people to be more interesting.
01:08And Tails feels bad for Chris because his parents aren't around.
01:12Then we see Eggman.
01:14So the plot is finally going to actually go somewhere.
01:17He wonders if one of his robots could brainwash the schoolchildren to look up to him as a hero and
01:21convince their parents to accept him as the ruler.
01:25Without brainwashing tools, he's really delusional to think that would actually work.
01:30But that was the whole joke.
01:32I mean, why would anyone actually accept and like a terrorist alien who wanted to blow up Station Square and
01:38build his own city on top of it?
01:41This plan has no chance of success.
01:43That's not tension.
01:45That's not suspense.
01:47And this is one of those times where it doesn't look logical that he's selecting his robot teacher at random.
01:53Logically, the Slots would have selected a robot that isn't programmed to be a school teacher that could replace Mr.
01:59Stewart and comically throw him out of the room.
02:01Stewart, who gets off the floor extremely quickly, naturally wants to give the principal a piece of his mind for
02:07replacing him.
02:09He's told that he never actually hired that robot, but the principal lets the robot do what he wants because
02:13he's making the kids easily learn math and enjoy themselves.
02:17So he just tells Stewart that he should study his technique and become a better teacher and walks away.
02:22It would have been less frustrating and unbelievable if the principal said,
02:25Well, I don't have to pay him.
02:27Then Stewart decides to go check things out with the headquarters and calls Homeroom and calls Homeroom with a code
02:34red priority report.
02:36They don't want to send out the military and Navy and helicopters because a robot replaced him in his classroom,
02:40even though it's a robot!
02:42Why would they find it to be a huge cause for concern?
02:46Obviously, everyone should assume it's made by Eggman, and who would want to trust a robot like that to teach
02:50kids?
02:51It could be brainwashing them or have a bomb in them!
02:55Why are they not taking it seriously?
02:59Besides, they specifically hired him to spy on Chris, and he's not able to do that anymore.
03:04You'd think they would care about that. That's not funny.
03:08Stewart then gets help from a cop and learns that the kids aren't in the classroom because they're going to
03:12be taught baseball.
03:14Stewart's part of the plot is just a waste of time because it's obvious that he won't be allowed to
03:17accomplish his goal because then the plot would end too easily.
03:20The cop says that the kids are having a great time already, and he wishes he was one of them,
03:25but when Stewart tells him to stop eating and arrest the robot already, the cop furiously runs after him instead
03:32of doing his job.
03:33I'm torn on whether this is realistic behavior for all of these people.
03:37The robot is being nice and a good teacher, but it's a robot!
03:40The only robots of that kind of intelligence in this world would be made by Eggman!
03:44That would cause a panic!
03:46People are not nice and accepting enough to just like that robot just because of that, instead of hating and
03:52judging him for a surface appearance.
03:53That's just not realistic.
03:56All of these kids would be terrified of him. Immediately.
04:00Eggman then gets mad when he sees camera footage of how the robot's doing, and says that he's supposed to
04:06make the kids love him, not himself.
04:08So wouldn't the robot be programmed to do that instead of doing what he's not supposed to?
04:13By the way, Eggman just thought of the idea of a robot teacher brainwashing the kids at the start of
04:17the episode.
04:18Way to conquer this planet!
04:20Perhaps the children may be one of my robots!
04:23So how did he already have a robot teacher made that he could employ right away?
04:27He was talking as if it was a brand new idea, wasn't he?
04:30And then he selected it from a slot machine.
04:33After the oddly sympathetic and likable robot catches a baseball,
04:38Bokun says Eggman has a message for him that's threatening.
04:42Bokun's pronounced Bokun?
04:44My whole life I thought it was pronounced Bokun.
04:47Though, the U in it. I guess I should have pronounced it Bokun, but...
04:51Anyways, the robot teacher talks to Bokun about how he's found it far more rewarding to be admired himself.
04:57And Bokun tells him that Eggman would turn him into scrap metal.
05:00The kids then admire him because he's refusing to abandon the students, even though he's being threatened for it.
05:07Bokun outright tells the robot to make the kids admire Eggman.
05:10So obviously the kids had to know what was meant to be going on.
05:14They know the full truth by now, so it makes sense.
05:17I definitely liked this better than in Sonic F for once, because there,
05:21the robot had a split personality where it constantly acted menacing and had its eyes turned red,
05:26and it worshipped Eggman with a scary tone.
05:29Even telling the kids in the baseball field to pretend that baseball was the skull of someone who would oppose
05:35Eggman.
05:35And while it was amusing, logically the kids would all just be terrified of him.
05:41So the plot wouldn't work. They would all just run away.
05:45Eggman shows up, and the kids all get annoyed with the robot teacher for naturally being scared and pleading with
05:51them for help.
05:52When, come on, who can blame him?
05:54And the robot gets reprogrammed to let Eggman take over and put the kids in detention.
05:58And it keeps Chris from going home as a result.
06:01Well, at least it was amusing that Chris' father shouts that they have to seek home.
06:05I was impressed that he was actually worrying about Chris not being home.
06:10But it was funny in Sonic F when he just said,
06:13Rich people are talking!
06:15And said that he didn't want to hear about Chuck's engineering.
06:19He was a lot more funny in that show, being, like, surprisingly honest.
06:25And rude.
06:26Then Eggman tells the kids to draw him.
06:29And Sonic runs over to the baseball yard, naturally since Chris hadn't gone home yet.
06:33So he would have gotten curious.
06:36I mean, even if he had just gotten detention, he still would have gone there just in case.
06:40Then the robot teacher tells Eggman that he's a chump because he was so busy showing off that he hadn't
06:45noticed they were under attack.
06:46I was surprised he was still able to be sassy to him when he was reprogrammed to do whatever he
06:51said.
06:52He sends missiles out of his head after Sonic somehow ran to the top of a vertical pole.
06:57And Sonic effortlessly dodges all of the missiles and runs into the robot to make it explode in one hit.
07:03I expected a lot longer of a fight than that.
07:06Is every episode going to be like this?
07:08The comic is so much better at fight scenes than this.
07:11It actually had every action scene take a significant amount of time because the robot would get a bunch of
07:16hits in.
07:17And there was genuine tension.
07:19There was focus on characters other than Sonic fighting, which added to the tension.
07:24It might have handled the action scenes better than any other continuity did because of that,
07:29even if it was predictable because it was always the same formula where the hero struggled and then won at
07:33the end.
07:34Like in Danny Phantom.
07:36Here, the hero just makes them all explode in one hit.
07:39That's pathetic.
07:40Sure, it makes sense that someone who can move at the speed of sound would be able to do that,
07:43but that's not good action scene writing.
07:47Maybe if so much of the episode wasn't wasted on worthless padding,
07:50we could have had our time spent on what it should be spent on for an action series.
07:54You know, like actual fighting?
07:55Not Chris being with a robot teacher?
07:58Having a whole plot of basically Chris filler?
08:03It's only interesting because a robot is there.
08:07At least it's not as bad as in AOSCH where Sonic wins by getting stuff out of nowhere.
08:12But that would have been more interesting to watch than this.
08:17Anyways, Eggman offers to give Sonic a bumper sticker of himself.
08:21I liked in Sonic F where Eggman told Sonic that even though Sonic doesn't have a car,
08:26he could always put the bumper sticker on his butt.
08:28And Sonic said no.
08:30And everything works out alright.
08:32Except for Mr. Stewart.
08:34Because after he says there might be more to being a teacher than passing at home or get amusingly napping
08:38in the class,
08:39he gets chased by a cop.
08:41Which struck me as unnecessarily mean spirit of the writer.
08:45Seriously, what did the writer have against his character to put him through all of this?
08:48He must have had pretty terrible teachers as a kid.
08:51Well at least it was interesting that Chris' father says he was kept after school a couple times as a
08:55kid.
08:55And Chris' mother says he wasn't well behaved.
08:58This was an episode where Eggman tried to use a robot teacher to teach kids to obey and admire someone
09:04who tried to destroy Station Square and build a city out of its ruins.
09:07Yeah, somehow I don't see that plan as very likely to succeed.
09:11But somehow, the reason it fails isn't just that.
09:15You know, AOSCH Robotnik was much more threatening because he actually brainwashed people successfully.
09:20More than once.
09:22Somehow, the robot specifically programmed for the one task of teaching kids to admire Eggman
09:28has the free will to defy that programming entirely
09:31and be a good teacher who likes being admired himself.
09:34Huh?
09:35Also, Eggman says he's got to think of a way to conquer this planet.
09:39And then says perhaps the children.
09:41And maybe one of my robots could brainwash.
09:43So obviously the dialogue's implying that he just thought up this robot teacher idea now.
09:48And yet he selects a robot teacher that was already made from a random slot machine.
09:52That was bad translation.
09:54I figured this plot machine would cause problems with the logic.
09:58But who knows, maybe he didn't have that exact dialogue in Japanese.
10:02The robot teacher was a pretty likable character,
10:05so it's a shame it got reprogrammed to be evil and destroyed in one hit.
10:08But there was no escaping that kind of thing happening to him.
10:11Eggman knew where he was and what he was doing through his camera eyes,
10:14and everyone would know where the robot teacher was teaching.
10:16There was a lot of wasted space in this episode.
10:19Seward's entire subplot was just doomed from the start to be pointless,
10:23or the episode would end too quickly.
10:25Eggman's plan was entertaining,
10:26but the idea wasn't even remotely fleshed out properly,
10:28because all he got the kids to do was try to draw him.
10:31It's not like he got them to build a statue of him, or a weapon.
10:36This kind of thing should have been most of the episode.
10:39But instead, we just have the unfunny gags where the robot teacher is a generic nice teacher
10:44and makes Seward look bad when he tries to get rid of him.
10:46But at least it makes actual sense that the kids would like and admire him,
10:50because he's always nice.
10:52Even if it would still not make sense because he's still a robot.
10:55But at least he's still being nice.
10:59Unlike in Sonic F,
11:00where he constantly mood swings to being an evil robot
11:03saying they should crush Eggman's enemies,
11:05and yet the kids still admire him.
11:07Even though it does make a lot more sense in Sonic F
11:10in the sense that the robots always had the evil Eggman glorifying in him,
11:15and just didn't do as self-diagnostic that day
11:18to keep his programming from glitching out.
11:20While in Sonic X,
11:21there was never any hint of an Eggman glorifier in him,
11:25and it makes no sense.
11:26There was no attempt at an explanation
11:27for why the robot is even able to disobey Eggman's orders,
11:30and never glorified him once.
11:33And seriously,
11:34the kids would just be terrified of this robot.
11:37They wouldn't like him.
11:39I can't handle plots that are ultimately pointless
11:41and accomplish nothing in TV shows
11:43if the plot is good enough.
11:44For all of the previous Sonic shows,
11:47that's like every episode.
11:49But this was just an idiot plot
11:51where Eggman only tried the doomed to fail plan
11:53because he was a completely delusional parody of himself.
11:55He should have known it wouldn't work.
11:57He wasn't talking about literally brainwashing,
12:00kids to admire him,
12:00so it was just padding, really.
12:02It was entertaining enough,
12:03but it was frustrating seeing Stuart
12:05get mistreated the whole episode.
12:07He just felt mean-spirited.
12:08It's not like he was portrayed as a bad teacher,
12:10like I was expecting.
12:12Sonic F had this mistreatment
12:14if it didn't make more sense,
12:15because it was karma.
12:16He used Chris as an example
12:18in his math problems.
12:20He called him visual aid
12:21and red-shirted boy,
12:22and had a creepy theme song
12:24where it all went black and white,
12:26where he said an evil catchphrase.
12:28Here, he's just a normal teacher.
12:30It's not almost impossible.
12:30He's the worst that would like the consequences,
12:30he said it would might Ankara.
12:30I'm not seeing you control your mind,
12:30That doubt the criticism left or something
