>The real Eggman isn't "stupid". He IS infinitely clever, he's an intricate planner, he's got the master plan, everything is thought out and methodical. He doesn't throw temper tantrums to destroy the world (that's Nega), he isn't destructive for the sake of carnage (that's Zavok), he has backup plans in case plan A goes awry.
All of this is well said, especially the parts about him not seeking destruction and carnage just for the sake of it, and being smart enough to backup his plans even if they end up going wrong regardless but Eggman does indeed have issues with his ego and temper, with his hotheadedness and "babyrage" contrasting Sonic's humble coolheadedness.
>Sonic Channel tells us we're supposed to see him as "charming", a fun guy coated in danger. That's what a Badnik is. A cute machine that can kill you if you aren't a Sonic Hero.
This is also entirely true. Eggman sees himself as a misunderstood genius that's trying to remake the world into a perfect utopia where the fun never ends, and sees everyone else as idiots for not agreeing with his brilliant vision. He's just here to enjoy himself, impress everyone with his greatness, and play with silly WMDs and killbots that are shaped like funny little toys.
All the danger is born from his apathy towards how his actions effect his surroundings rather than direct malicious intent, and I think that's one of the more interesting things about him as a villain.
