Wait?!! What happened to Snively? Did he get put on the "I'm too lazy to do anything with these characters and think doing these things constitute drama, never mind how it affects on the status quo of everything connected and that doing that just gos to make the comic more and more shallow without these themes" bus with the echidnas and the rest?

As I said before:

I highly doubt Snively will be gone for long. I mean, Regina's bound to discover her Snivley's a fake. And let's face it, nearly all the characters thrown in jail escape later on, so it's highly likely Snively will escape sooner or later (like how he did at Devil's Gulag).

The thing though that really bothers me about this whole conclusion is the fact Snively was shoved into a box, with no ventilation I believe either.

So, my question is, why have him trapped in a container similar to the Egg Grapes?

If he's going to be killed off, why not just show Eggman doing it?

And if not, why not make a little less obvious?

I mean, this almost makes me think too he'll be back like Remington was.

The Egg Grapes aren't like Egg Capsules. They killed people.
He specifically said he wasn't killing Snively.

LaserX5 said similiar, not the same.

An Egg Capsule might as well be a prison cell. In terms of lethality, they're not similar at all to Egg Grapes.

Eggman never said he wasn't killing Snively. He said he was going to stay in the Egg Pod-thingy 'for the rest of his life.' How long the rest of his life is going to be is kind of dependent on whether he can breathe, eat or drink.

My thought is Ian dosen't want to outright kill Snively in case he wants to use him as a plot device later. But... if he doesn't, then he really never has to let Sniv out of there, or even mention him again. Showing Egghead offing Sniv might be a little 'too violent'. But letting him waste away 'off screen' isn't.
Poor Sniv doesn't have tons of fans that will be clamoring like they are about Sally. He's been kept out of the book for really long periods of time before, like after Robotropolis got nuked. He was gone for a really long time, without any explanation to where he'd gone, either. He doesn't have enough importance in the book for anyone to do anything about it except for the writer... And we only have one of those, unfortunately.

Lots of characters have died, to Eggman's hands. If they wanted to kill him, they could and would.
