>one of the best new Sonic girls in a long time>IDW doesn’t know what to do with hersad
Surge SUCKS>>155142801what kind of schizo shit is this?
>>155141735i HATE “ebbin mid-20s wholesome quirk chungus avatar of nontoxic nonproblematic numale” characters like that faggot Barry the Microwave Guy who always asks “ermm what would le Sonic do?”Oh and Surge is cool i guess sad how she was handled.
>>155143597You're deeply mentally ill.
Literally MADE for hypnosis.
>>155141735Making her a hero was a bad call.A villian would've been more interesting, didn't even need to make her evil, just kinda a dick.
>>155144756You think IDW uses hypnosis too much?>>155144834That's what Surge currently is, a morally ambiguous anti-hero that is more likely to cause problems rather than find solutions. Despite what she believe, she's not a true hero nor is she very effective at it.
>>155141735>all female villains get redeemed and become shitty extras that only exist for fanart >all male villains are generic 1-sided monsters who get shelved/killer almost immediately IDW is just pulling western values bullshit
Her getting redeemed killed itShe should have had the opposite of a redemptionShe should have started out relatively normal and then got worse and worse and worse with every fight she had with Sonic as her rage and obsession grewShe and Kit should have went from "victims used by starline brainwashed to fight sonic" to "basically terrorists that attack Eggman and the Heroes and the Civilians and everyone else out of sheer rage and hatred for everyone and everything"Now that would have been a memorable character arc and villain
>>155141735I think people like her vibe and design more than the character itself. A loud, bratty jerk desperate to prove herself and fighting her self hatred sounds like the typical sonic fanfic OC shit people enjoy, and she is well designed. So people imagine her having more depth than she really does. That and having a personality that’s not just pure evil or pure good, which is what everyone else in the comic is, so she stands out. But she wouldn’t in a series that has a full cast of fledged out characters.>>155144834>>155145517>>155146468They didn’t handle it well but I never bought her as a threat. Her lighting powers were neat but she’s in no position to be of any real danger to the Sonic world now with the shit others pull. And she has no way to level up her powers to be a real threat.My take is that she should be a mercenary or bounty hunter. She gets to do good and evil based on how much they pay her, and that lets her be on the heroes side or against them depending on the story. And as a hired gun, she is not meant to be a big presence, but can tip the scales for one side or another in certain cases,
>>155146591Evan actually gave her a temporary level-up that somehow made her weaker. It’s the most ass-backwards shit I’ve ever read. I have no idea what that woman is thinking.
>>155141735I don't particularly care about powerlevels or morality too much, it was the "I'm a psychotic asshole but also kinda a loser" factor that got me invested in her, and for the most part that's still there so I'm pleasedBut yeah, even though I'm down for her failing to be a hero because it's funny and interesting, I do wish we had some more of the "dangerous bioweapon whose borderline feral from mental illness and trauma." deal she had going on at the start.
>>155146301What anime? This looks cool
