Personally I don't like the term "plot hole." It's thrown around a bit too much now-a-days, by people who think they are clever because they can point out another series flaws -- especially when many of the flaws have plausible explanations if one just takes the time to think it through.
So with that said, here's a little tid bit for discussion:
Why is it in Sonic Adventure 2 that Eggman attempts (and nearly succeeds in) killing Sonic by jettisoning him in an escape pod into the atmosphere, when Maria tried to SAVE shadow with the exact same plan?
My plausible explanations:
1) Being a trap, Eggman sabotaged the capsule so it would explode.
2) Shadow was launched from a specific part of the ship with emergency escape pods, treated with heat shielding, where as Sonic was caught in a waste disposal pod of some sort.
3) Maria knew nothing of the astrophysics, and might have killed Shadow had GUN not stopped her.
4)Maria didn't shoot the pod at Earth, but merely into space, hopping someone besides GUN would awaken him.
What do you think? Sonic X (which is not cannon) supports option 2. In fact, they go as far as to say that Shadow's entire vision of Maria's death (including the translucent pod) was fabricated to make him more vengent. In reality, Shadow (and Emeral) were in opaque escape pods, already in cryostasis.

I dunno.
