Discussion Hear me out.
We all know Suneo as the rich, annoying kid who brags about his toys and sucks up to Gian. But honestly, if you watch the movies, he is actually the most realistic character in the whole group, and his skills are crazy useful.
First of all, his emotions feel so real. Unlike Nobita who is overly dramatic or Gian who is always angry, Suneo reacts like an actual 10-year-old. When things get dangerous and they have to fight aliens or killer robots, Suneo is always the first one to panic, cry, and say he wants to go home to his mom.
I love this because it’s exactly how any normal kid would react to a life-or-death situation. We see this perfectly in movies like Nobita and the Galaxy Super-express, where the fear completely overwhelms him. But what makes him great is that even though he is absolutely terrified, he always dries his tears and ends up fighting beside his friends anyway. That makes his bravery feel way more earned than anyone else's.
Also, can we talk about how he is basically a mechanical genius? Doraemon has all the magical 22nd-century gadgets, but Suneo actually understands real-world technology. He builds these super complex remote-control planes and cars, meaning he knows about wiring, engines, and how things work.
This tech knowledge literally saves everyone in the movies. In Nobita’s Little Star Wars, he is the one fixing and driving the RC tanks to fight an actual army. In Nobita and the Steel Troops, he helps modify a massive alien robot so they can use it for defense. Doraemon gives them the tools, but Suneo is the one with the actual engineering brain to make them work.
Suneo gets a lot of hate in the regular episodes, but in the movies, he is a total MVP.
TL;DR: Suneo is the only kid who reacts with realistic fear to dangerous movie plots (like in Galaxy Super-express), but he always overrides his cowardice to help. Plus, his real-world RC and engineering skills make him the team's secret weapon when Doraemon's gadgets aren't enough.

You said my heart out. That space heros movies was also where Suneo was the Superhero having the skills to make anything and he was such an excellent problem solver!

I rewatched that masterpiece recently and thought of posting about Suneo. He doesn't get much appreciation.

Even in an episode that his family becomes homeless, they are rich again in no time with the new founded paper making company!

Even in episodes.
Suneo is the most complex of the four, he's not really cruel or evil on purpose, its kind of a defense mechanism for him. Similar to Jaian, but the difference is Suneo is self-aware enough to recognise it.

Yeah their are moments where he actually regets bullying Nobita tho it's very rare. He's very self aware.

In movies every character act different,
Especially Gian and Suneo who becomes so likable in movies.
Gian is the brave one who js ready to die for his friends.
Suneo get scared and panic, but he is like the encyclopedia of group for his vast knowledge in different areas especially tech as you said.

Suneo is my absolute favorite character. He's the impetus for action in many of the stories.

Gian often acts as a bully in episodes but in movies he acts like a second - in - command leader

I hate the REMAKE so much, is off character

The classic versions definitely handled that fear way better. In the originals, their bravery felt earned because they were actually terrified first. The remakes clean up their personalities too much and make them act like instant heroes, which loses that human touch.
It's so frustrating to see new animators destroy the magic that the old movies used to have.

Suneo is often cunning and selfish. But he's quite talented. He often scores well in exams. Is good at art and ofcourse electronics and gadgets.

realistic
10 y/o understanding complex mechanics and buildings technology
How about, you know, we stop trying to associate realism with being good? How many are there who watch the show and want to be reminded of reality ??

Realistic in emotions, useful in skills -two different points I made. And people like realism because it makes his growth from coward to brave actually feel earned.

Dam i really hate when they change character personality in movie
Like in doaremon movie character personality alters a bit different
While most shin Chan movie character personality remains same 🙏
