O_O In an anthropomorphic world.... this doesn't really make any sence.... o.0 and in the Satam animated serie's Muttski is robotocized...so it's more a homage to the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff Happens there all the Time. See also Furry Confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Conductor Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 As far as I can tell; Muttski still exists, he just hasn't been seen much...maybe Sonics dad put him down. In any case, wouldn't this thread be better off in the Archie thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Mechano Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) The dog is one of the "normal", non-humanized animals, much like the kind Eggman plops into robots in the game series. Of course, in SatAM/Archie, Robotnik freely roboticizes whatever organic things he can attain, sentient or otherwise. Still, yes. Even in the games, there are two kinds of animals- The humanized, bipedal, talking kinds, and the normal ones who cannot speak, and act like traditional animals. This dog, in the related cartoon and comic, is basically the same in concept. The fact that Sonic in the cartoons/comics (and recently even the games) freely eats chilidogs (Which are logically made of meat) is another point of this distinction, since it's Sonic- an animal- eating another animal. But since said animals are non-humanized and, thusly, non-sentient, it would be silly to say that Sonic's been engaging in cannibalism all this time. The humanized animals are effectively humans in terms of their place in society. The normal animals are, well, just animals.

Diogenes Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Is it really that different from the real world? We humans are animals, and we keep other animals as pets, force them to work, and slaughter them for food (well, most of us). Our justification for this, or at least the best one that I know of, is sentience. We are, they aren't. There's the same sort of divide in Sonic's world (and I'd assume in many fictional universes with sentient creatures besides humans); some creatures, like Sonic, the humans, and some robots, are sentient, while others, like the "small animals" and generic robots, are not.

batson Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Speaking of robots in the Sonic universe, i prefer to think that the average Eggman drone really doesn't have much sentience, or at least not emotions. Because if they do, Sonic on his gang basically KILL people whenever they bash Eggy's baddies. Well, maybe not "kill" in the most literal sense since the robot's aren't strictly alive to begin with but... bah, you know what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezMM Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I always saw it as different levels of evolution when this came up in fiction involving animals. I.e. If Sonic is a human, Flicky is a monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Heroes, and even moreso Unleashed, present exactly that idea. I mean, in Unleashed, the common grunts can talk to you- One even thinks you're a cool guy, and offers to hang out with you once he defeats Sonic. So charmingly naive.

Even Mario, king of the family friendly platformer, slaughters sentient creatures by the hundreds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
