i know this isn't an UNPOPULAR opinion but among my friends i think i'm the only one whose favorite english sonic VAs are the current game cast? roger craig smith hits the "smug, cocky sonic" and the "warm, mature friend sonic" alike. he does a great job at walking both lines. and i like his sonic voice being more "adult" than past takes?
similarly, i feel like mike pollock wasn't great in his earlier eggman stuff under 4kids but came to fluorish at it around unleashed where he got to flex "goofy eggman" and "sinister eggman" and walk the line - which is important! deem bristow was probably a bit better at being evil, and long john baldry was unmatched at hamming it up, but eggman truly has to be both!!!
i will say i am not a fan of the current shadow VA but also he hasn't been given a chance to... do anything. he told sonic he's got this. thats pretty much it. so i feel i should reserve judgment
