>>692398269
It was exactly one line in the japanese game manual, and for some reason Ian Flynn is obsessed with rewriting Amy into being an "independant" woman, without realising he's completely robbing her of any character she originally had.
>>
>>692398269
It's from Sonic Shuffle or some shit
>>
>>692398269
Tarot cards were part of her original CD backstory, it was a stereotypical girl thing she was into and reading them is how she came to find sonic
The animators for that one origins short brought it back as a cute reference, but then Sega ran with it like a bunch of retards and turned her into fucking Gambit for no goddamn reason
>>
>>692398301
Sega is enabling him.
More specifically Takashi Iizuka since he was the one who chose Ian to write Frontiers because he liked the IDW comics.
>>
>>692397732
Sega changes/retcons/erases something about Sonic every few years because it's just a mascot IP and these characters only exist to sell more merchandise. Amy is the designed "girl power" character and girls believe in gypsy shit.

Ok, here is an innofensive retcon where she is just an interested friend and a callback to an old little lore detail in her jap bio that never made it to the west.

Sonic fans don't know what they want.

I don't think Iizuka is personally sitting and reading an Ian Flynn comic. He's obviously just saying "We heard that you hate Pontac and Graff's writing, and we heard that a lot of fans are enthusiastic about Ian's comic book writing." So yeah, he's enabled to do whatever the fuck he wants. He's the writer now, to the point where the japanese game script is a localization of Ian's script in Frontiers, so there's not much need to allow him to do things: They put him in charge to do whatever the fuck he wants.

something being annoying doesnt mean it should be removed. Its endearing to some people and if the creators thought it should be a part of her personality, then it should stay. Also what the majority of "fandom" wants is impossible to quantify because normal people who don't have an opinion one way or another will not say anything. While insane people who have an agenda will scream about something.
>>
>>692398742
The writers for that Sonic Boom show did a better job at giving Amy an actual personality without blatantly removing established aspects of her character.

I wouldn't mind if her giving up on annoying Sonic was presented as her growing up. But the way it's presented with the Sonic CD tarot card thing makes it feel like "SHE WAS ALWAYS THIS WAY, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?".

Yeah, Amy's whole adventure arc was "I don't need Sonic, I can do this myself"
So it makes classic Amy being "part of the crew" and running around beating up badniks with her hammer seem rather silly.

I didn't mind them bringing back the tarot card thing until they literally gave her like a magical Gambit toolset in Frontiers. What the fuck?

Makes no sense retroactively.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Flynn gives tons of creative suggestions to Sonic Team, and they decide to give said suggestions the green light or not. Amy's gameplay focused around tarot cards because Flynn suggested it for her character. The tarot card shit pops up almost everywhere else because he's the one writing almost everything else.

That's weird.
I felt like Frontiers was trying to subtly break the unspoken Amy and Sonic relationship up, by saying she wants to "share her love with the world", but it at least seemed to acknowledge she had a thing for Sonic prior.
This bio feels like it wants you to forget Amy was ever even wild for Sonic in the first place.

I don't do shipping bullshit, but I forget this guy worked on Archie and probably had a literal hard-on for Sally. I would not be surprised if he's doing this not because he wants to make Amy some empowering role model, but because he can't ship Sally and Sonic anymore. I'm all for Amy being playable in more games, but don't attach a personal vendetta or agenda on it, just make her playable. Same with Peach.

It's funny how Dixie Kong solved this problem almost thirty years ago; she just came along to help Diddy save DK and that was it.

Ian Flynn is what some would call a "Trapdoor Feminist" with a lesbian fetish. It reflects HEAVILY in his writing. The guy is a certified creep.

>>692403686
Why? Ian's not even in charge of the comic anymore, iirc.
This tarot card stuff is part of a revision to the character that started a couple years or so ago, around the same time Ian started gaining more influence, when they put together a lore team, etc.
>>
>>692404114
I see it the other way around. He's made it very clear he wants Tangle and Whisper to be a lesbian couple. So wouldn't we know already if he wanted Amy to be a lesbian? And wouldn't we know which character he was trying to force her with?

If you read the IDW Comics and see where nearly all of the female characters are written, you'll see what I'm talking about. He's clearly making Amy uninterested in guys. "I want to spread my love to the world." is a very clear signal. She only loved Sonic.

Sometimes the easiest solution is the most elusive one. But even then, thats only applicable here if they're actually planing on giving her more actively engaging roles in the games moving forward. If not, its just revisionism due to personal taste, which is equally bad.

Honestly, I am not happy with Ian or the direction they are taking Amy. It would probably only take a few pieces of evidence to convince me Ian is trying to turn Amy into a lesbian.
But just telling me he's tried to do this before with different characters isn't really evidence, it's more like preemptive concern he may eventually start trying to do this.

He isn't the one who has the final say on anything. The directors and producers still have to give the ok for all this. Frontiers had two other story writers and the gameplay itself, where Amy has spontaneous tarot card powers, has nothing to do with Ian

If you use pattern recognition, then by that logic Amy is safe.
Ian literally isn't allowed to make Whisper and Tangle lesbians, even if he really wants to. He's flat out said it.
Amy probably even has even stronger mandates on her as a main focus of marketing.
>>
>>692405236
>recently
She's always been a flirt with those two, and even Sonic and Tails at times, but mostly Shadow and Knuckles due to her occupation as a GUN agent and fascination with jewels/the Emeralds that puts her at odds with Knuckles at times. You are coming off as a new-age fan that doesn't know his shit, anon.

I wouldn't call him sexist as much as really conservative about female archetypes. If you aren't subverting what's typically associated with woman, said woman is inherently objectified and less interesting/worthwhile. It's why he doesn't like Rouge much and keeps trying to make Amy an all-rounder instead of a goofy brat.

>>692406427
Sonamy is a bigger part of the franchise than Rouges' flirtatious attitude, and they never really removed the latter entirely, only toned it down, which I personally can somewhat see the logic in for younger audiences, even if I don't see it as harmful one way or the other. But the revisionism of the protagonist and the dynamic with his day one love interest is one motivated by detestable personal interests. Not only that, but you can't do that without entirely rebooting one of the characters, which is whats happening with Amy.

The tarot card thing is much like the chili dog gimmick, it was cute once and is now insufferably stupid and out of place.

Amy loving Sonic was simple but it was at least a character motivation which tied into the narrative of various games.

She's just a generic amicable female ally in both of those.
She's very present in both stories, more than she has been in a very long time, giving her more opportunity to show of her characters quirks than she's had since like... Battle on the GBA.
Yet she's completely sexless and plain in her characterization in both. Hell in Prime they put more emphasis on her being a freedom fighter than being into treasure/gems.

Well, I see how that can raise some questions with the direction of the characters, but Rouge has always been a very multidimensional character with more to her than just that. She's the most interesting and versatile female character in the franchise, so personally, I don't see it as much of a loss, even if I would prefer it stay as well. In any case, focusing on other dimensions of a character is less offensive than openly disapproving of a staple fav-favorite dynamic between two of the main cast thats been that way since the dawn of time, in favor of the writers' tunnel-vision headcanon of things that there is a very evident paper trail of.

They didn't replace her flirtatious tendencies and passion for treasure hunting with anything in her recent appearances. They just removed them and left her a generic helpful girl character.

She's completely and utterly boring now.
You're focused on the fact that she still likes Sonic instead of the fact that the traits born from or expressed because of this (impulsive, passionate, reckless, dedicated, childish) are pretty much gone. The character doesn't really have anything anymore. Instead of using the traits in a less annoying context, they stopped expressing the traits. She is an unobstructive fusion of the cliches she subverted in the first place now. That's pretty shit.

She was not a core character that early, so using historical context to try and validate her significance seems fruitless.

Have Blaze (or someone) develop a crush on Sonic and approach him in a more tactful way. He's too fast so it doesn't really work, but it works better than anything Amy tried, which Amy sees and she gets pissed off about it. If you really want her new bend to be "strong, independent" then make it entertaining by having her over-correct but still very obviously like Sonic and care when someone else is trying to grab his emeralds.

Making appealing characters with personality traits makes them more relatable and makes fans wish to stick to the game world, which would result in a more attached and invested fanbase.

Making Sonic a Mario clone is just soulless and all-in-all:

When the franchise was at its lowest point in 2009-10, people started looking at the archie comics and saw that other, older characters were being used, and established characters were being used as well. Needless to say, this went on for a few years and Ian, who was behind the writing at the time was put on a pedestal by the secondary fans and the outsiders who knew no better. Top that with those horrible writers from the Happy Tree Friends who never touch a Sonic game in their lives (alongside Ian but I digress) and Ian's 'writing' won a lot of people over.

This also put another misconception that Sonic games would get better if Ian Flynn was writing the scripts, when the issue was always the gameplay, which is still shitty to this day. Good writing, if you can call it that doesn't mean shit if the gameplay is busted. Just like Tyson's shitty animated shorts didn't save Mania, it was the gameplay that stood out. Redesigning the characters for the movies doesn't mean shit if the games aren't good. It's the same thing with Ian, his writing isn't good but people were convinced that Sonic was saved with it, and that's clearly not the case.

tl;dr secondaries and tertiaries care about everything but gameplay, Ian being THE secondary of the franchise.
>>
You think the reason she not in the movies is because the writers don't know what to do with her and she adds nothing?

Blaze is the closest thing to an actual solo opposite sex relationship they have let Sonic have recently. They essentially went on a date in the IDW comics recently. I don't know if this is just one writer inserting their wishes though.
>>
>>692409234
You significantly underestimate her impact on the franchise. She's the only other canon female hedgehog and she's been around since the old Boom days and seeing the old promotional material, probably even longer than that. She's an icon at this point. That's why so many Sonic fans like her and get upset when she's poorly utilized.

Looks like it works well, but the thread is about Amy, so if we're trying to give her something to do some jealousy over Blaze's better luck with Sonic is an option.

That's less "impact" and more "marketing niche". A niche that wasn't considered very important until recently. Now she seems to automatically get merchandise when they roll out new collabs and deals.

I'm pretty sure both Sega and sonic frontiers both confirmed that sonic has feelings for Amy now and Amy still has feelings for sonic, so I don't think they need Amy to be an obsessed hole anymore.

He could have just toned it down like Boom did, straight up removing it from previous games is retarded.

>>
>>692410097
This is also a very lazy way to write off opinions that aren't yours, don't do that shit. Ian always had problems, but they actively got worse over time. He started focusing on appealing to his core fans over making approachable comics for kids, which led to the ridiculous amount of pandering and hype building for stories with really weak structure that we see today. His old work was honestly better.

Amy is annoying but that's her character. She's annoying. That's just how it is. Sanitizing her doesn't make anyone happy, it just makes people roll their eyes and lose respect for the product.

>>692407187
Chilli dongs are just Sonic's favourite food, it doesn't affect the writing of his character and instead just adds some flavour to it.
It's not comparable.
>>
>>692410335
"Knew no better" seemed to imply an issue with his writing that experience would highlight, not "fans of the games."

Either way, a lot of the people saying that stuff a decade ago said it because they thought his writing was genuinely good. Even among game fans it was really uncommon to be critical of Ian on the whole.

I never wanted him on game scripts because his dialogue's always been weak, but people feeling different wasn't out of ignorance.

Sonic games were never literary masterpieces, and references and other quippy shit doesn't equate to good writing. A comic writer shouldn't be writing for a game, mainly one with a fair amount of a dialogue. They're two different fields and it shows. Though writing a script that's better than the English script for Colors isn't an accomplishment.

Not gonna lie I actually totally agree with this. In SA1 her character development was pulling away from being obsessed with Sonic but then they kinda just flanderized her back into it. My biggest regret is that she's not as punchy and energetic as she used to be; she's boring because she doesn't have any of her spunk anymore, at least not in Frontiers. She needed to be a lot more cheery, granted a lot of the cast in Frontiers needed more of that I felt like.

As someone who only consumed Sonic’s vidya media and none of the comics and shows, this feels like a “who gives a shit” moment, after her first 4 appearances and then the gazillion afterwards she already was less dependent on Sonic

Also, this opens up a path for way better romance options for Sonic anyway like Blaze

"So, Miss Amy Rose, how do you feel about your feminist head writer for Sonic, Ian Flynn? Do you believe his new direction has been a positive influence for you and your co-workers?"

-"Well, Tucker, thanks for having me on, first of all, I love the suit and I wanted to thank you and your team for being so welcoming~"

"It's a pleasure. We always love to have you on the show."

-"To answer your question, I really do not appreciate Ian Flynn's rather insulting and sexist approach. You see, feminism is about respecting a woman's choice, about understanding that not all women stand under the same umbrella. I love Sonic, I have always loved him ever since he rescued me from Metal Sonic. I was so obsessed with him, that I used a magical artifact to make myself older just so I can get him to notice me. Ian Flynn's his writing tried altering the very soul of my character and when I read the scripts I took offense to it. I made my choice, Tucker. I love Sonic, whether it's on or off paper."

"It's a shame that Liberals in this country are such hypocrites on the matter, Miss Rose. I agree that one needs to follow their heart and clearly, over the decades of your career, you've been especially adamant that Sonic is in fact the love of your life and you've never strayed from that. Not even when Sonic seemed to reject your advances."

-"That's just me, Tucker, I don't give up and I know my darling Sonic is rough around the edges, all boys and Men alike are, but like Sonic, also have their quirks and benefits and I think these Modern Feminists like Ian should do a little self reflection and understand, that their hate for Men and feminine ladies like myself and Rouge especially, is quite frankly patronizing and makes me at least, feel like I'm just an object."

"A truly trying time for all of us Miss Rose. Many, including myself, only wish the best for you and will pray that you get your chance with Sonic."

-"Thank you, Tucker, that's very sweet."

Amy isn't required as a 4th even if we want to go off that logic, she is a shit background character that should have stayed in the background. One of the million other underutilized or unused female Sonic characters could fill a better female role, or a new character completely.

What's with the random resurgence of Amy's tarot card reading? It was a thing that was only in Sonic CD, and I thought that it was only a thing they were referencing in Origins because we revisited CD. Then it came back in Frontiers, now this. Amy being obsessed with Sonic not being mentioned is not an accident either. That part of her was taken away during Boom, and her attraction was low-key at best in Frontiers.
>>
>>692397732
Just play the old games instead, I'm sure a SA and SA2 remaster/port would censor her love for Sonic too so best just to ignore anything new related to Sonic, I mean Rouge was excluded from the 3rd movie since the people behind it thought she was "too much" for children

Just expansion on SA1 Amy's ending line though yeah, they are trying to make her more than a stalker and trying to make her Bechdel test approved, because her prior portrayals make women look submissive and flawed, and we can't have that in current year. It's nothing that goes against SonAmy shit. Ian made Sonic simp for her in the game, which personally infeel is pathetic, Sonic would have better tastes if written well. Ian has stated that he likes Amy being with Sonic because she does not "hold him down" like Sally does or some shit, so yeah, he's a SonAmy stan.

I very much dislike the decision to remove her infatuation with Sonic. But I do like the tarot cards being more part of her personality. They should really play more into the whole superstition thing with her. She's the kind of person to believe in wishes upon shooting stars, the luck of 4 leaf clovers, and reading of her palms. All to help her get what she wants. And what she wants, is SONIC. From her perspective, they are destined to be together. Sonic only has to stop denying her love.

A lot of people are anti-Amy for some reason. But I think you all are discounting her as the heart of the group. Much like how people scoff at captain planet having a power called "heart". Thinking that love and compassion is useless is a very 10 year old boy perspective. You need to grow up and mature. Without Amy's impassioned plea for Shadow to save everyone, he would have never remembered what his promise to Maria was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9rIND08eHM

That could be excused as them pulling some random past trait of hers when they were trying to find things to be part of her skillset since it went back to just being a mere obscure fact of hers for 13 years.

Buildings being on fire is a negative connotation.

People and things being set on fire has negative connotations.

Fire could be seen as an oppressive force that makes weak people flee from their homes and land, that's a negative connotation....

This isn't hard, Anon.

Also, I'm just saying that people can make any excuse they want to censor something and people like Boco will make excuses for it by saying shit like:

"Man, I'm glad the edginess is gone!"
