>>738748154Piccolobros...
>>738747853Lookin a lil too zesty there, Sobic
>>738748154>the rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated
>>738748478If you want Sonic to be an asshole, you never liked the character and you were never a true fan.
>>738748864
>>738748478Sonic has a very specific modem operandi that makes him so cool and neither of these are it.
>>738748864Tell me more about the character development of an anthropomorphic pachinko ball.
>>738749010er, modum
>>738749010>>738749075MODUSIT'S MODUS
>>738749058Sure, but first let's talk about today's sponsor: Skill Share!
>>738748864>If you want Sonic to be an asshole,his happy-go-lucky attitude does make him an asshole. basically telling her she's not even worth his time for a fight so he'd rather be friends
>>738749129thumbnail makes it look like she's a weird fairy kirby-style creature with no arms or legs with its pussy facing the camera
>>738747853Sonic with speech bubbles is already the most un-sonic thing I've ever seen.
>>738748478>off-model dialogue
>>738749170>being an asshole is when you offer friendshipWho hurt you?
>>738749229You have issues
>>738748478
>>738751575so she is evil because Dr. Eggman but takes it out on Sonic?
>>738747853Americans ruin everything from Japan
>>738751721Yes. She's mad Sonic doesn't kill all of his foes, which led to her getting kidnapped, experimented, and brainwashed by a Eggman (ex)fanboy to be a Sonic clone.
>>738751842thanks, i was interested in reading the issues but now that I know the dogshit story, I don't care anymore
>>738751575>IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOUUUUU>bitch>h-how could you be so mean?
>>738751721Modern western writing gives sensible arguments to villains and treats heroes as the bad guys for whatever reason.
>>738751721No her personality was erased and replaced with hatred for Sonic, so even when she learns its fake she still must take it on Sonic.
>>738751763Name 5 other than Godzilla, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Cowboy Bebop, and DMC
If someone tries to touch you in a way or a place that you don't like, that's good!
>>738753181just touch them back
>>738748478Does Surge entire humans?
>>738753181First you drink liquorThen you touch a police officer
>>738753381can you rephrase that into a sentence that makes sense?
>>738747853Autism, scat and AIDS.
>>738752885CastlevaniaDigimonHuhh...Jackie Chan?
>>738747853>>738748478Sonic will never be cool.
>>738752885Diaclone/Transformers, Ghost in the Shell, Dark Souls/Demon Souls, Silent Hill, Yakuza, Castlevania, Kingdom Hearts, Power Rangers, Pokemon, The Ring, Macross (debatably)
>>738753558does surge an entire human?
>>738752885Macross, Speed Racer, Gatchaman, Sentai, and anything Funimation and Crunchyroll touch.
>>738753903>>738753948
>>738753797the moment Sonic began talking is the moment he stopped being coolit's honestly amazing what you can achieve by having characters be completely mute and have them express themselves through actions or through their face/body
>>738753797>>738754013I think Sonic is cool
>>738747853I need to rape mobians immediately.....
>>738754013>mostly empty city>Aw yeah! This is happening!Rough transition
>>738753903what happened with macross?
>>738754082You are lost
Sonic keeps it short.
>>738754782NTA, but look up Robotech
>>738754993oh yea lol i forgot about that
>>738754812world
>>738754082You are found amd cool anon
>>738754782Nta but I didn't mind the anime, I was talking about that drab western reboot comic from a few years back.
>>738754925That's old cringe pontaff sonic, not new based and loreful ian sonic.
>>738753797I was reliably informed he was way PAST cool??
>>738748864Imagine being this retarded
>>738751721Not really, an Eggman-fanboy kidnapped her, brainwashed her, and give her trauma about Sonic. And since she can't remember her past and her earliest memory is said fanboy torturing her to "be like Sonic", she wants to fuck everything up, both Sonic and Eggman.She also ends up being hallucinating her torturer even after he died.
>>738756430Whatever happened to that? Seems like they completely dropped that plot point almost as soon as it was introduced.
>>738756547There's like a 50/50 chance the current main villain of the comic is secretly Starline who's not actually dead.
>>738756547They explain it in the comic. The device she is using is causing her to hallucinate.
>>738756547It was inbetween the Eggman Base fight and the Dynamo Cage rematch, so she just lost a battle and at her worst during that hallucination.Her mental health got better after the Phantom Rider arc since they are "heroes" now.I like that she's a "good asshole", kinda like an anti-Sonic, she is free but in a more egotistical way.
>>738756430>even after he died
>>738757076I figured it would be Infinite but if it's either one of them then that's kind of disappointing. At least the latter makes more sense since they used illusions in that cave but if it's Starline that makes Ian look like a liar since the death was supposed to be final, even if I was in the "he's obviously coming back since deaths don't matter in capeshit media" camp as soon as he died.
>>738757227I still hope that the villain is a Starline remnant and not actually Starline. Like Starline's abandonned/unfinished Metal Sonic or something.
>>738756547She decides that she wants to be a hero, because she got praised by the crowd for taking out the Phantom Rider(who is secretly Sonic).
I can believe that this manifesto is how they describe his personality in an internal bible but i really can't buy that he'd lay it out like this when talking to a villain. even if he wasn't in a joking mood he'd probably still keep it brief and just say something about letting bygones be bygones.
>>738757076I think it's lame that they're bring Starline back. Starline was supposed to be a cautionary tale of what happens when you idolizes and try to be Eggman. It was one of the comic's few only strengths, showcase his spiral to madness due to his constant desire for approval as well as his downfall by the hands of his idol. All of that just ruin it by bringing him back.
>>738747853This comic is the worst thing to ever happen to this IP yes worse than 06
>>738757668there is clearly an audience for it
>>738752471whatever reason being because the writers are evil degenerates and cannot write virtues into the characters anymore as they despise virtues and working towards being good, for them every one is perfect the way they are tm
>>738757215>>738757345Dreadful. Sonic needs an actual fucking antagonist on his level. Not another frenemy or a toaster that jobs to a wall
>>738757641I mean the comic basically has no tertiary villains at this point. Mimic is dead, the Imposters are "reformed", Rough and Tumble are doing fuckall, and Clutch is neutralized. I quickly became bored of Starline when he was active but at this point I'd welcome him back if it makes things just a little more interesting
>>738757215>kinda like an anti-SonicThat's like half the roster at this point, she was a better anti-Sonic when she was a villain.
>>738757805And that audience is mostly on porn sites lmao>>738757826Yeah that's why demons are often portrayed as misunderstood good guys and angel types are irrevocably evil.
>>738757862probably because nobody ever wants anything in mobiususually bad guys are motivated by something, I dont' know about the comic book villains but it doesn't seem like that's the case
>>738758095they still didnt allow him to expand or adapt frontiers huhbecause holy fuck has the comic been lame and boring as fuck since the surge arc
>>738748478This is retarded>>738751575That's funny
>>738747853hate this guy's art style.
>>738758429Didn't ask.
>>738758315that looks like an absolutely kino scene, thanks for reminding me to catch up
>>738758095Just make new, better villains. Stop making street tier jobbers. We don't need Starline back.
That reminds me, remember when we thought this was going to be a interesting villain? What a waste of a jester character.
>itt autists butthurt some guy has sega's blessing to write sonicGotta love the hate Ian gets in almost any Sonic thread. Mostly from jealous autists who will never have the chance to get their decades of writing autistic fanfics validated by SEGA themselves.
>>738758765Stop! You're going down a dark path, anon. Now before you get silly ideas like "make good new villains," stop and consider a few things: Is there an existing character we can use as an Archie concept expy? Is this a situation we can make Eggman the main culprit for? Or if you absolutely NEED to make a new character, is there a marginalized group or ethnicity that could use representation in the Sonic universe? Don't just go around creating characters, you have to act with foresight and understanding of the western version of the material as well as the political landscape of BlueSky. Be better.
>>738759017i'm mostly baffled that there is that much interest for a comic that's not smuti'm always surprised when I see people talking about the comics
>>738758990>oh hey he might be cool>gets caught>WAIT WAIT WAIT ACTUALLY I'M THE VICTIM IN ALL THIS AND I'M LAME AND GAY NOW AND MY PARENTS ABUSED ME UNTIL I BECAME A LITERAL SCHIZO BUT IT'S OK BECAUSE I FORGIVE THEM ALSO IF YOU LOOK ON TWITTER YOU'LL LEARN MY PRONOUNSWords can't describe what a fuck up this dude's arc was, it's like a perfect storm of bad writing.
>>738758990I know fuckall about the comics but I can tell from this one panel this is a character where every discussion surrounding them is about pounding their bussy
>>738759187It's because they're canon and being intergraded to the mainline games. You can't ignore it at this rate. One day, they're going to make a new mainline Sonic game and they're going to shove Whisper, Tangle and Surge into it without proper introduction and you're going to want to know who they are and why they're familiar to the gang.
>>738758990On the other hand if he actually became a villain he'd been killed off after not accomplishing much anyways.
>>738759371Nah he'd have gotten away but without accomplishing his goals.
>>738758990I still think they saw the backslash about the they/them shit and backtracked fucking hard. It really seemed like it was going to be a more important character until that.Everything would've been better if they made the character female. That way I would've wanted to fuck her, and there would've been a lot more porn, so it would've been a good character.
>>738759263they/them bussy
>>738759330kek, I don't think so, they don't even know what they want Sonic to play like, I doubt they'll include any other charactersForces was their big opportunity to do that and they squashed that one. I am aware of the dialog in Frontiers but all the dialog in Frontier is just constant references to the Sonic universe or to past events
It would have been much more anime if Lunar was female but Soleil was a guy and instead of any kind of agenda or representation, it was left at that. Like they just don't address or try to label it, Soleil considers herself a man but Lunar is a woman, it's so simple but people try to make everything into a problem that requires a resolution and maybe it does, but sometimes you can make a more fun story out of not solving or not being able to easily solve the problem.
>>738758990>Insufferable theater kid character with muh heckin pronouns and "abusive parents" that aren't really abusive>Literally serves to purpose to the story>It's just a self-insert for the writer, who's an extremely autistic retard who felt like dragging his daddy issues into the comics because fuck youGod IDW is shit.The metal virus arc was not well written, but it was interesting, everything that came after bar some of the Starline stuff was a waste of time.This entire comic feels like fucking filler and there's nothing but fanfic level writing 90% of the time.Starline's arc and death were one of the few interesting things in IDW, and now that's getting undone too.Ian Flynn's writing is also just complete shit and relies on cheap references for everything.
Post yfw your parents mindbreak you with abuse but they pull out the "I'm sorry" formation, completely absolving them of guilt
>>738759130I miss the Battle Birds.... They haven't even shown up in Classic Purgatory since the reboot....
>>738759468At this rate, IDW comic is only good for producing female OCs that people want to fuck. That's why there so many of them, besides DEI representation. Even with the background characters like this, you see fans begging them to become important characters solely based on how much they want to fuck her.
>>738759712>that aren't really abusiveThey didn't understand that he was doing new things (read: "new things" means just copying stuff he sonic do)
>>738759763Sorry, I should have specified that by existing characters I meant ones already in the comics or from the games starting with Forces.
>>738759763>>738758990every time someone talks about the comic i learn about a bunch of new characters and arcs that I've missed, it's honestly amazing how much shit they have crammed in there
>>738759764That's one of the things I like about these comics. Lots of good looking and well designed background characters. Would fuck most of the female ones.Makes me wish the next Sonic game has a really good character creator with lots of options to make our own OCs. Or a fully 3D Battle sequel where we can customize our own character.
>>738749229I see itMore accurate than what it actually is.
>>738759962so, do they get all the emeralds and magically win? how do they cure everyone exactly?
>>738758209>they still didnt allow him to expand or adapt frontiers huhNope. Sage just showed up one day and that's that, the setting is post-Frontiers now.Don't think too much about it because SEGA and their creative team sure didn't.
>>738759962Damn Vector just obliterated a woman stone cold
>>738759963It's even more impressive how little of it matters after the fact.
>>738759912>>738759962Ian legit thinks Final Story of SA2 is what the overall tone for the franchise always was.
Meanwhile in the games
>>738760382at least that's consistent with the games where nothing that occurs or anyone unique involved with any of them ever matters or shows up again
>>738760506>everything in life is meaningless since we die at the end
>>738748478so much tension
>>738760447He's also still writing Eggman as Archie Eggman.
>every faggot posting their own version of Sonicyou are alll so gay and lame
>>738760565Usually there are lasting effects and not the cyclical collapse of story into nothing.
>>738760171This is more or less how it should be anyway, I'll take "somehow Sage returned" over "this normal beachfront city from the games is actually a secret lore city stuck in the middle of the mountain with its own artificial simulated environment because...it just is."
>>738760506Some things actually do carry over but it never feels as pointless as it does in the comics. I'm sure someone can explain it better or maybe it's just that it feels more egregious when the comic is a more story-focused medium and what should be character-defining moments kind of just come and go without proper build up.
Sonic is just a kid having fun with his friendsMovie > Everyone else
>>738761019i feel like it has something to do with the number of characters there are or how powerful everyone seems to be
>>738760679Which is incredibly frustrating because Archie Eggman worked. In Archie's setting. But the game Eggman has always been a more versatile character, able to play sinister or buffoonish as the scene requires. Whenever Sonic calls a truce with IDW Eggman, or actively works with him. When the Chaotix are sheepish after busting up his base when he wasn't their man. It doesn't ring true. Going for a friendly kart race with the guy who caused the Metal Virus Apocalypse just doesn't feel right on any level.
>>738761118PANSEAR YOU MOTHERFUCKER! YOU JUST DAMNED US ALL!
>>738760457Pontaff was an ok writing duo, I just couldn't see it...
eat at real sonic
>>738761212Why not? People play golf with a dictator in real life. Humans are an easygoing species, we don't get hung up on grudges too much.
>>738759962Damn, Glad you could bake it Vector
>>738761118>>738759962it reminds me of how Sonic Forces had these giant battle scenes but everything is incredibly pointless because it all depends on Sonic finding the mcguffinI've never seen a piece of media make me care so much about its universe when it doesn't even fucking matter
>>738761451>pepperoni on a chilli dog
>>738761118I don't get why these people think what the franchise was missing was misery porn and bleak garbage.
>>738761181I don't know if that's it, but that's also something that's kind of worse in the comics because games writers don't care but the comics writers always feel the need to shove answers for shit in your face so I could see it being more annoying there.
>>738761604The cutscenes in that game were all kinds of underwhelming anyway
>>738761625my best guess is that they know they'll never do better than Sonic so might as well write their shitty fanfictions with saturday morning cartoon characters sufferingI recently played Freedom Planet 2 and it is literally everything the IDW comic tries to be
people rightfully shit on the the zombot arc but it was the last time idw was at least kinda interestingSurge could have been good but she flopped
>>738761451sonic armpit dog
>>738748864I wish for a thousand tissues so you can cry about it all you wish
>>738751763Sonic is more American than Japanese at this point. Japanese don't give a shit about Sonic, while hordes of millenials and kids love him in America.
>>738748154Murder good>>738747853Sonic bad
>>738762179Imposter Syndrome was also good but that was about it
>>738747853
>>738762682>shadow-sama, I kne-
>>738762179Doing away with Starline was a huge mistake. He was a villain who could zig where Eggman zagged, and had an excellent motivation in his complex to surpass Eggman. Him being clever enough to catch other's mistakes while being too arrogant to see his own also gave him a solid edge with a logical Achilles' heel. Having Eggman just crush him and leave him insignificant, dead or not, completely cut off all the narrative potential for absolutely no payoff.
>>738762783
>>738762809Imo it's not a mistake because he was a good character, which he is, but because in hindsight there just wasn't anything compelling to replace him. Clutch should have been the boss of street level annoyances since he just doesn't have the makings of a varsity villain, Surge was engoodened, Mimic was like a manga that was being canceled and had to rush its ending, and Eggman hasn't been doing much lately.
>>738762783I am, I am everyone, everywhereAnyhow, anyway, any will, any dayI am, I am everyone, everywhereAnyhow, anyway, any will, any day
>>738759764Hehe, yeah.
Why do they keep introducing a million OCs in a franchise where people often make mentions of issues like character bloat? And what happens to the older cast members? Do they just become footnotes to talking wolves or sheep?
>>738759764using monke is cheating
What is the best joke told in a Sonic game? I don’t really mind light hearted Sonic like in heroes, but all of the dialogue is half assed.
>>738763321
>>738748864This. And also this >>738749010Sonic just wouldn't care. He wouldn't be mean, he wouldn't go out on a limb to patch things up, he'd just go with the moment. Unless Surge became a genuine real threat to him (which she never really does), he just wouldn't take it seriously and isn't tied down enough to hold anything really against her.Like Sonic Heroes had Metal become a full on metal dragon demon that kidnapped some of his friends and truly threatened the world with robotic domination, and while he got serious in the middle of it, the game just ends with>ha, too bad you lost, catch you on the flipside, loland I think that captures his character pretty well. No "let's be friends now and get you on the good side, Metal" or "yeah I fucked you up Metal, suck it you loser, I've got better things to do," just "better luck next time, you'll have to try harder than that to catch me" before running off into the sunset
>>738763248because they actually want to write their own personal furry drama series but they are stuck with Sonic
>>738747853Remind me this page, I like how he goes from smug to genuinely shocked over Eggman losing his shit.
>>738753903>TransformersBut Transformers is a joint venture, and the best iteration of the property is #1-24 of Skybound
>>738763395Candy from a baby
>>738763248Despite their lies, the comics are perfectly capable of telling stories with the game characters, but in the west you get royalties for making characters so that's why in a lot of capeshit you see OCs suddenly show up being really important.
>>738747853Can someone who read IDW do a quick resume on each arc?like last time I read it, it was during the Metal Virus and Rouge/Amy/Cream looking for a chao event in a manor.What happened after that?
>>738763721Once again shadow is the lynchpin of the Sonic franchise.
>>738753948>Speed RacerYou best not be referring to the movie.
>>738763632>the best iteration of the property is #1-24 of Skybound
>>738748154
>>738763830Nothing.
>>738753948>>738763875I barely remember about the original Speed Racer, but I really liked that movie.Also to be kind of on Sonic topic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-6F5OPg7uM
>>738747853>Ian Flynn's Sonic: words words words words>the real Sonic:
>>738763830nothing, they get the emeralds, they magically win and it's always like that
>>738760171what im thinking now that flynn got onboard for writing for the games in any limited capacity he currently has or had, fucking cut whatever arc ideas he had for the comic to throw at izuuka crocked teeth face in the faintest hope he gets greenlit has the question ever been asked at him on his stupid pay 2 ask podcast?
>>738747853I didn't read any of that. Canon Sonic wouldn't yap his mouth non-stop like this.
>>738762464how did this fucking franchise get so complicated holy shit
>>738764067I'll take IDW's character depth over>durrr I'm gotta go fast lol!
>>738764481"depth"
>>738764481>IDW>character depthWide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.
>>738764329I don't think he's gotten any serious questions since admitting that bumblekast is not equivalent to word of god
>>738764424context?why is tails making that facewhy is tails about 2 secs away from making an ahegao?why does sonic loook mad like he lost a bet?why is sonic shoving a plunger on this nigga ass? is there a dildo inside?
>>738764481Please describe in an intelligent and concise manner how Sonic and co. have depth in these comics.
>>738764589Stop kinkshaming Tails anon.
>>738764471>just three characters talking>like 30 words of dialogue>'complicated'IDW haters in a nutshell.
>>738764481imagine all that dialog crammed into the games holy shitpeople have said for years that the characters never shut the fuck up and you want them to talk three times as much?
>>738764656i am not im just curious? did rogue get him into this?
i miss nicole
>>738761019I might not have the correct grasp on things, but here's how i see it: the games are the primary media and can affect the comics, but the comics are secondary media and can't do anything that might affect the games. Like, if the games brought back Tikal and made her a main cast member, the comics are beholden to intigrate her in some way, but the games wouldn't be beholden to do the same if the comics brought her back for an arc. The tldr is the comics can't shake up the status quo in the way the games can.>>738761212They could have just made it so Starline was solely responsible for the virus, or Eggman Nega, but as i understant it Flynn doesn't care for Nega, or you could make it an alternate universe that's close enough to the games, Sega has shown they aren't opposed to that sort of thing.
>Oooooooh, I run like the wind, and have freedom in my veins. I bring tears to the eyes of children with my sheer righteousness.Unironically hate this highfalutin, monologging version of Sonic. I like him when he's a pissy little punk asshole who breaks robots, and refuses to elaborate.
>look at the colorful talking critters being le deep and darkHoly fucking cringe. No wonder the actual audience of this shit is like pic related.
>Introduce the greatest character in the series’ 30+-year run>Kill him within 50 issues because he’s too overtly fetishistic for the higher-ups, even though he keeps it completely G-rated
>>738764795Chris Chan doesn't even like Sonic anymore, the franchise is normie tier now
Archie is Dead
>>738764918Did they go bankrupt or something?
>>738764817>fetishistic>him>he's>hei always thought this dude was a woman even his name is feminine t.havent read sonic comics since 2011
>>738764661nigger, it's a universe with no cohesion, no stakes, no meaningful characters, everything gets resolved the exact same way every time, if the writing was good they wouldn't be wasting it on fucking Sonic "Baldy McNosehair" Hedgehogif they didn't make furry bait then nobody would give a single fuck about the comics, if the writers were any good, they wouldn't be writing for SEGA.
>>738764643powerful
>>738764817100% agree he was the only thing that was keeping IDW interesting. You can feel it go downhill after his death. What a waste.
>>738765037>I don't like it therefore is badOk, bro. You keep being invested in a franchise you hate anyway.
>>738765024Ignoring this poster’s negative IQ, for context, Dr. Starline actually was partially influenced by Frankenfurter from Rocky Horror, so he always has been a little bit fruity, but in the same way as Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh! is. Other influences include the Hunters from Bloodborne, Dante from Devil May Cry, a couple Overwatch heroes, and Merlin from Hellboy.
>>738765037>it's a universe with no cohesion, no stakes, no meaningful characters, everything gets resolved the exact same way every timeMaybe read a real shonen manga instead of expecting that from Japanese Mickey Mouse?
>>738765125>he doesn't like the comics which means he hates the whole franchiseIDW defense force not sending their best.
>>738764757source on the image?
Sonic has empathy. Though he doesn't go out of his way to change everyone. Depends on the story.
>>738764771That's still kind of a cop out. I think the problem is the writers set up these arcs that should have lasting effects but they can't so any real payoff you would expect or hope to see is just not there. You can write fun stories, even relatively big stories with cool climaxes, within a universe that has to stay the same. Episodic shows like most old mecha or other shonen stuff did it all the time, it's just the people at IDW don't know how to make that work because they're still mentally stuck in the Archie days and refuse to adapt. They should have just done classic since so far that's all they're good at.
>>738765237>he talks about the universe having no cohesion, no stakes, no meaningful characters>"I-I didn't meant the whole franchise"
>>738753382Yip yip yip yip yip
Does Sonic even work in other mediums like cartoons, books, comics and movies? I mean would you say so after 30+ years of divisive failures and cancelled shows and controversial writing?
>>738765092They’re never going to bring him back, either, even though some people in the pipeline have flip-flopped on it. When you look at how quickly his pages ended up on HypnoHub, it seems blindingly obvious that someone on the team was in on it and he got executed when they were found out. Because, you know, the Sonic series definitely needs to do MORE to appease the cross-burning anti-autism jihadists that every single fan has called out for ruining the series last decade.
>>738752885Any Japanese game, anime or manga that lolcowlizers get their grubby hands all over instead of just translating.

>>738765037It's true that no one would care about this without the brand name, I read it for free but I wouldn't even bother doing that if it wasn't Sonic.
>>738765331This is Rouge’s face when she smells Rough and Tumble.
I was going to stop reading after the people behind the comic ran to reddit screaming "we have a character with no gender! PRAISE US!"
>>738765343the only one that looks scary is cream and big the others look lowkey cute
This is why SoJ is better
>>738765125>>738765213nigger i grew up with Sonic and I love it but IDWlets thinking their comic is anything above a C- are fucking insane, the only thing it's good for is to give artists smut ideas>Maybe read a real shonen manga instead of expecting that from Japanese Mickey Mouse?that's what hillarious to me, they WANT to be a shonen manga so bad and they can't get it right, and they'll likely never will>>738765331the universe has no cohesion whatsoever and they aren't even interested in having any, that's why every game takes place in a different planet than the last onei play the games because I like them but I'm not going to pretend that the stories are anything worthwhile, the best story they ever told was 1-3&K and they never had to use any words for that
>>738760147Super Sonic and Super Silver basically spirit bomb the virus.
>>738764942They're making a new comic series this year and the Lego Movie/Spiderverse guys are producing a movie for Archie, but Archie Sonic is still dead.
>>738763830Starline becomes the main attraction and gets nuked in issue 50 for being too hypnokinky.

>>738747853wrong
Tails' Wii U is so dumb...
>>738765343wtf? Yes lmfao
>>738765519>words words wordsSo I was right, you hate the franchise and just keep playing it because sunk cost fallacy. Thanks for making it clear.
>>738764102That's incorrect for the comic.
I've been liking almost everything that's been coming from this franchise in the past 5 years.
>>738765343The money says he works in everything but comics.

>>738765665Fucking HNNNNNNNG
>>738765672In this comic. Super Sonic has shown up one single time. Years ago.
Genuine question: do you think Starline was killed because of complaints to the network? Anyone familiar with the consumer component of comic distribution knows that audience letters were a pretty big part of comic culture. Back in the day, it was pretty common for comic artists to satirically feature complaint letters in the commentary tracks of their books. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think parents were like “this faggot duck is making my kid too horny!”, and SEGA folded immediately.
>>738748864>faggots like this exist
>>738765519IDW doesn't want to be shonen, they want to be Star Trek Enterprise Vulcans where the Enterprise ship is shonen and they're tailing it making sure it goes along a boring and not fun course. They want to "improve" shonen but can't because they fundamentally misunderstand it.
Kek SHITnic is such a pathetic manchild franchise. Literally Carebears level of writing. Go discuss Barney the Purple Dinosaur then or pony shit, losers.
>>738765859t. anime
>>738765746Anons are too ingrained in internet culture so they think that's all that matters, there was a pretty clear story build up to Starline's death so I think the porn-obsessed retard itt is just that.
Then:>Finally decided to show up, eh? Okay, bring it on!Now:>Finally decided to show up, eh? Okay, let's be friends!
>>738765629are you just trolling him?>>738765343there was an ova from japan that dropped in the 90s its so old knuckles still had a hat!there is a ton of sonic media that is nicewhat i have noticed and come to accept is that everyone seems to have their own interpretations on how the sonic universe is
Honest thoughts on this character?
>>738747853being a gay faggot? I'll buy that
>>738765859Cool, now tell us about Daima.>>738765893>Sonic is different from how he used to beBecause of character development? Like...obviously?
>>738765907Cutie
>>738748864I'm a true fan of this sonic >>738748958
>>738765951yeah he developed into a boring faggot, I'm sure you relate to that
>>738765907for being an edgelords side kick, he seems a bit lame compared to surge. way too llame to be having all this attitude why does surge like this dude? he looks like is is finna go on a snowboard trip with bark
>>738751721That's basically Edelgard "The Dubstep Cult tortured me and killed my family, and I've decided to make that Rhea's problem".And everyone loves Edelgard, so hey.
>>738765951>character developmentnot even it is just different writer's take on the character
>>738765907His entire character is being femdombait
>>738765951That flop? Still more mature writing than BABYnic the colorful talking plushie
>>738765907The “bashful kid with a demure, edgeless superpower that becomes a dangerous violence monster when a trauma switch flips” thing is cool, but unfortunately is in service of fearmongering against a character that I like more.
>>738765907Keep forgetting he exists despite remembering Surge. He should have been the evil mastermind we all wanted him to be when they drew his face dark with glowing red eyes.
>>738747853>life is about pleasure and spreading pleasureNo it isn’t faggot

Judge: Ian "Ken Penders" Flynn, for your crimes against the Sonic franchise, the jury of this court sentences you to...deat-Me: *bursting into the Acorn Court room* WAIT!Judge: *sigh* This better be good...Me: *panting as I walk up to Ian after having run to the court to stop the execution in time* Mister Ian, um, no, *I look out to the judge, jury, lawyers, and audience* everyone, I have something I need to say before you make a decision.Me: *clears my throat and looks at Ian* Ian, you're a flawed writer. You pick and choose what's canon depending on your personal preferences, you mischaracterize the cast based on biases from the Satam and Archie days, and you make the characters explain themselves too much.Ian: *looks downcast and is uncharacteristically quiet*Me: But...Ian: *looks up in surprise and tentative hope*Me: I just, I REALLY want to have sex with Whisper the Wolf.Judge: *the jury and audience explode into hushed whispers* Order. Order!Judge: *lets out a deep sigh* Young man...you're right. We can't sentence a man to death after he helped create such a 10/10 character. The defendant... *he bangs his judge's tarot card against the podium* is cleared of all charges!Ian: *while the room erupts in cheers* That's... thank you so much. Who are you? How can I ever repay you?Me: You could start by apologizing.Ian: Of course! Wait, apologize for wh-Me: *stabs Ian* THIS IS FOR TELLING EVERYONE THE CAMPING ARC MATTERED!Ian: *coughing up blood*Me: DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
>>738766649#NotMyMaria, looks too much like a Stacy here. Bring back the demented looking monster doll from SA2.
>>738766786No, he’s canon, and he also *created* Surge and Kit. He didn’t kidnap them.Schematically, they’re based on glitches from Genesis Sonic that affect the protags and, among other things, give each of them a new whacked-out color scheme.
>>738751842>>738751936She was kidnapped, mutilated, rebuilt, and brainwashed into hating Sonic after Eggman kicked Starline out for being a retard. She never met or cared about Sonic before that.
>>738766997>You will never brainwash Surge into saying “I love [anon’s name here]. I want to marry [anon’s name here].”
>>738767096Correct, we won't because we know better than to waifu Surge when Lanolin exists.
>>738757215I like how Kitsunami has become the actual evil one of the two, he's going to cause disasters that Surge will fix so she'll keep being hailed a hero. And the funniest part is she has no idea he's doing it.

>>738758209>>738760171>>738760889>>738764329According to Evan Stanley, the events of Sonic Frontiers have already happened offscreen, specifically before Issue #68.
>>738765907Forgettable character design
>>738767589You know what's even funnier than 68?
>>738764771Sega won't allow Nega to be used in the comics. Even when they "did" in Archie he was either in total shadow or not on screen and the one time someone said his name it had to be Dr. Nega.
>>738767260Bass has had more dubs than Metal Sonic. He loses to Mega Man because he has to. Outside of that, he's been Wily's most successful creation. Metal Sonic with a power up couldn't even fight Knuckles and his Temu friends.
So cool...
>>738761332This is why he's at the very bottom of the popularity polls.
>>738768052
>>738767846>He loses to Mega Man because he has toThat goes for every villain ever, otherwise the story ends.
>>738756430LolHow can anyone take talking animals trauma-dreaming about being not-raped seriously
>>738768323>empathy? how could any normal person feel that?I don't know anon, maybe by not being a literal psychopath and being able to connect with the characters of a story and their feelings. But that's probably just me.
>>738758429Adam is alright, but I really hate Evan Stanley's art the most. Just dreadful to look at.
>>738768435Bro this character looks ridiculousIts like having a guy dressed like a clown have a dramatic monologue.Maybe you could get it to work with the more normal looking anthropomorphic animals but half the sonic cast absolutely cannot pull this off.
>>738768535I rest my case.
>>738768619You are aware your epic xitter clapback doesn't work with your previous post right?
>>738768295And as I mentioned, Bass has had wins outside of his fights with Mega Man. Metal can't even say the same.
>>738768770When has he ever won a fight?
>>738767794
>>738767878Sonic had a smoother transition to 3D anime than Dragon Ball did.
>>738768619
>>738765907Good idea, bad execution.Basically, a western writer tries to copy the child edgelord archetype from Shonen, and fails to understand what makes it work.
>>738769014Is this supposed to make me hate her or something?
>>738768535>Its like having a guy dressed like a clown have a dramatic monologue.dragon ball super pulled it offIT pulled it off
The Man With No Taste: >>738768451
>>738768823Nta but in non-canon media outside the games lmao>inb4 but these games where you can choose to play as Bass
>>738769252He certainly didn't beat Mega Man in the Archie comics, is there some manga series where he did?
>>738768535I don't disagree but you're talking to a thread of autists that see themselves as Sonic characters on the inside so they relate more to these ridiculous looking cartoons more than they can to real people.
>>738766997IDW wants to be edgy so bad.
>>738769178hxh did it multiple times too (hisoka is sexy af)digimonone piecesailor moonbatmanapparently brave lil toaster gave gen x and millenials nightmaresthere is also spawnleague of legendsdigital circusace attorneyi can go on, the point is that you can make a goofy looking character be taken serious if you know what you are doing
>>738769354nu sonic in general, remember in sonic forces when they had sonic get kidnapped and tortured? all so your OC can show up to save him? i honestly wish that they implemented the OC into the story better and allowed us to choose his fighting style baka this is why fan projects stay winning
>>738769383Yeah the problem is writing and not the setting but Sonic doesn’t exactly hire or entice good writers. Imagine Alan Moore’s Sonic the Hedgehog or Amazon’s Sonic the Hedgehog where Sonic gets his speed from injecting a super soldier heroin serum that also makes him rape Amy for fun. The character needs some kind of middle-ground.
>>738769305>you're talking to a thread of autists that see themselves as Sonic characters on the insideI don't see myself as a Sonic character nor have I any kind of fursona or whatever they call it now, but I still care about the characters in any story I'm watching/reading/playing. It's supposed to be human nature to care and connect with others, no matter if they're some fictional talking animal or a regular real life puppy desperately trying to get out of a river or something.This thread made me realize a lot of people here are just soulless bags of meat who can't even relate to a simple concept like that.
sonic frontiers managed to kill my interest in this franchise for good and i would rather sonic 06 be made fully canon than that trashfire continuing to exist in canonand sonic 06's plot is still dogshit, it's just at least it's not retroactively fucking over the entire franchise's plot with stupid revelations and making the TRUE ULTIMATE GREATEST EVIL to be a fucking purple moonand now they're shoving the dumb ai into everything to remind me that it's still canon
>>738769443Forces was so goofy that all it was missing was Sonic doing the Family Guy death pose after getting beaten up by Infinite lmao, the only "edgy" part of the game were a couple throwaway lines of dialogue
My ex-girlfriend was into Sonic but her taste in everything was so astronomically bad that I never gave anything that she suggested a chance. I ended up dumping her and she later cheated on her new boyfriend that let her live with him with me.
>>738769515>The character needs some kind of middle-ground.No, no... Keep going. No need to compromise on a good idea, anon.
>>738769649The final boss is legitimately the least of that game's offenses. Awful wannabe introspective dialogue ruined with meta reference spam, awful pop in with the worst lore reason possible for it, awful asset reuse, boring boss gameplay despite hype music and presentation, and the meat of the shit sandwich, the chao retcon.
>>738769735Yeah that's basically what all Sonic fans are like. How's Christina been these days anyway?
>>738747853Sonic as a franchise is the perfect example of tranny shit for tranny fans
>>738768451Is Evan the one that made every character say "y'all" for 3 issues?
>>738769829thisi think the only reason people pretend to like it is because they want to fuck the ai girl
>>738769672kek the scene where they were kicking him around like a hackey sack? and everyone stood there and watched?
>>738769515you literally described the plot of one of the sonic exe versions
>>738762783Shadow got the duck treatment
>>738770115More like it was some non-game media Sonic fans first Sonic game and maybe some long time fans first open world game.
>>738759764>important characters solely based on how much they want to fuck her.And that's a good thing
>>738770115The gameplay was a refresher in a lot of ways even if it wasn't great, but from a story perspective it doesn't have much worth.
>>738763721>Which is fine by me
>>738770179All that opening was missing was someone telling Tails "AND THEN YOU FROZE"
>>738764643>knuckles and Jesse high and laughing it up

>>738764817He deserved that being the ultimate fanboy. He was literally the oblivion, fanboy for Eggman.
>>738763513Was this Ian writing as well? What happened to him after Archie?
>>738767165Don't forget the cute fox girl too
>>738770650Lore accurate Sally
>>738747853Whether or not this makes sense depends on whether Robotnik violates the NAP too hard by permanently harming one of Sonic's friends. I feel like the ship for that sailed in the games following Forces where he shifts from sticking his animal friends into batteries to killing them outright just to spite Sonic.Either way, it's a clunky-ass way to illustrate what >>738764424 did regularly with a single line of text.
>>738770650Font? Like typing?
>>738770869Where is her chest? Why are there now 2 radar points on my HUD?

>>738771036well he didn't they're demons
>>738770945There's a quote somewhere but the nice thing in jap media is they just throw things in because it works and they don't give a shit. Sonic and friends are in the human world and humans exist and it just works, no explanation needed. Western Sonic? Got to have a lore reason for humans, you can only imply them potentially maybe existing until daddy Sega says maybe it's ok, and hopefully they can exist without there needing to suddenly be two worlds for no reason. A bunch of worthless red tape that serves no purpose when japs just let it happen with no bullshit in the way.

>>738771112Agreed. I'm from the US and I married an Ecuadorian woman who immigrated here. Our church organizes ICE protests and we've been going to them on the weekends.
Someone has that page where sonic boom Amy smashes inside a train carriage, then she finds out is full of fucking missiles and she smashed one into the rest, the missile has massive dent and by some bullshit miracle it didn't explode leaving Amy extremely stressed over how she almost blew herself into bits and promises to move quietly from now.

>>738769735This makes me glad I'm a virgin incel.
>>738770329At least we know that Eggman can be very observant, prepared, and pragmatic when dealing with enemies. He just isn't that way when it comes to Sonic.
>>738771259Thou shall not kill. You are a pseudo-Chrstian and deserve to burn in hell. You're unironically probably a Hindu heretic.
>>738748478Sonic isn't a total dickhead devoid of any sympathy. It'd go like- "So some nut kidnapped you and you wanna hash it out?", "I'll take as many hits to calm you down but don't expect me not to dish it back", Once the fights over- "There you blew off some steam, now you have a clear head and no one left to blame so start making your own choices".And then they have crazy sex.You need a middle ground bozos...
>>738771052He was an Agent Peacock, but that ability is fucking terrifying. He's basically Devastator from "Revenge of the Fallen".
>>738752075Not only is Sonic more in character. But even Surge is a lot more realistically female.

>>738771052Really hit them with the Kirby special
>>738747936Drogune deserves to succeed purely for ABT's sake, Ian has burned too many bridges with Sonic fans just by virtue of writing so much mediocre material and as such he deserves none of our hard-earned cash.

>>738769735All women cheat. I thought I struck gold when I found a "nerdy" girl who liked anime, vidya and posting on 4chan. Fast forward a few years and I'm absolutely tired of her, resenting her and declining her advances for sex. I broke up with her on Christmas and then she cheated on her new boyfriend with me a month ago. She probably cheated on me too, but whatever. When I broke up with her she was crying and saying she loved me (a lie) and after she apparently realized I was serious started calling me a faggot and saying I was making a mistake and would die alone lmao. I hate women.
>>738771319They are black and brown as like their soul.This is the right thing to do
>>738771473That's more like guides than law.

We had crusades to kill all the muslims brought into Europe ffs.Only after White people lost WWII did everything become gay and retarded (jewish) telling us to tolerate evil (the new ruling class).Jesus straight up told you to sell your shit and buy a sword if you ever bother to actually read anything he said and aren't just copypasting half a sentence from r/atheist or quoting adam greenberg
>>738771880Between Earth and Mobius opened a portal so all thirsty anthro girl get their own human male.
>>738747853The biggest disconnect between Archie Sonic and IDW Sonic is the forced marriage between Eastern and Western character writing.Archie Sonic was a very Western Character which makes sense because Sonic was designed to appeal to the Western audience. Sonic also felt like he lived in and belonged in the world of Mobius. He had friends, family, a hometown, and many other things that made him personally invested in the war against Robotnik. Say what you will about Penders and his echidna autism and obsession with melodrama but he and every other writer helped lay the world building groundwork to make Mobius actually feel lived in.Now let's look at IDW Sonic. Sega wants to be more involved and critical in the comic's development (but not enough to hire more people to speed up the process making every story arc take at least a year to be edited and approved) to make Sonic more Eastern. Now Sonic's defining character trait is that he is "The Wind". The Wind doesn't live anywhere, the island he inhabits doesn't even have a name. The Wind isn't personally invested in anything other than fighting Eggman for no other reason than being The Wind. The Wind doesn't take any personal responsibility for anyone that gets caught in the crossfire.Then Issue 50 happens. Surge accuses IDW Sonic of being responsible for her misfortune and his treating his fights with Eggman like a game. The Wind doesn't have an answer. The Wind doesn't care. And yet Surge is supposed to be the bad guy in this situation.That's why I gave up on IDW Sonic.
>>738771259>>738771521Where the fuck is this conversation coming from in a Sonic thread of all places? Furries are unhinged.

>>738771989don't care, I'm Catholic with a Peruvian fiance. Have sex, moshe
>>738760171Honestly the series has a weird idea of time anyway. Everything since Adventure 1 besides maybe like one or two side games are all in the same year eternally to the point that they wiped character ages from the board to pretend the series doesn't have to care anymore about all that. You can see a continuous track of ideas and development that Generations proves, anniversary nostalgia doesn't help, but Frontiers is that awkward spot of only being a leaping off point for later projects and ideas, but can 100% be anywhere it really wants to be, and the comics are clearly stuck with "no adaptations, only originals" now. So if Sega wants Sage, or the writers want Sage, well, here's Sage, go play Frontiers for context, can't really work around it any other way, fuck you apparently.That's what you get with paper advertisements at this point nowadays.
>>738771989I stand by what I said, Ranjeet.
>>738771998IDW seems like it's even more extreme then that though since at least manga Sanic has friends and is willing to stand up for them >>738770945. The original pitch was that he fights Robotnik for his friends' sake.
>>738772003>Sonic thread >Furries are unhingedYou already are one.
>>738771880It turns out all the games and everything up to now happened during summer vacation, Sonic and co. all return to Sunset High School in Sunset Heights, Green Hill Zone to have wacky school hijinks.
>>738772169I miss the sonic highschool It was the most unhinged fan fic
>>738771989Maybe you should have written your holy text to not be stuffed with contradictions and not be a bastardized ripoff of all the religions that came before it.
>>738771880Uhhhhhhhh...Black Knight arc about questing for the holy grail but make sure you get the writers that did Black Knight. Do not let Flynn near the script. Please for the love of god my sanity would be on the line.
>>738772275Flynn stopped writing for the comic years ago.
>>738772027>>738772035>>738772118>>738772274>turdworld copeTell me what year is it. 2026 since what?We conquered and created the world!
>>738771880Sonic vs Sparkster
>>738772367Oh shit time to pick it u-wait a minute you're just fucking with me aren't you? Or is that joyless cunt Evan writing in his place?
>>738772381It's so cute how /v/irgins always resort to screaming that anyone who opposes them is third world when nothing else helps them win, like a child plugging their ears and screeching.
>>738748478I don't get it, which one is the real Sonic?
>>738772412
The next game should be Storybook where Eggman is Jesus Christ and Sonic ends up in place of Jesus' best friend Biff and it should be taught in every school in America
>>738771057There are never any good Sonic threads here
>>738773004There are but you're never in them which really makes me think
>>738773401
nobody:the people whose job it is to overanalyze Sonic: "Ah yes I see it's like that" *writes everyone the opposite of what they're supposed to be*
>>738748864>>738748958https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAgrQn8m_XM
>>738748864Tell me you never experienced Sonic prior to Unleashed without telling me
>>738766838lmao
>>738770820sega thighted the leash to prevent another ken penders situation from happeninga shame because I was genuinely interested in where archie was going before the reboot
>>738775221By Ian's own admission it wasn't going anywhere, he just kept making things up and meant for it to go on indefinitely. Technically zombots would have happened at some point to reintroduce roboticization but that's about all we know.
>>738748478They made a fucking black version of this character with guns and butt metal playing on the background for you, and you STILL felt the need to self insert your school shooter attitude into the blue one?You gave him a fucking anime angry vein for God's sake
>>738748478Left is SoA Sonic, right is Classic Sonic
>>738775271Apparently the Zombots arc was going to be right after issue 300. And from Eggman's musings in the last issue a Lost World adaptation was planned for somewhere after the Zombot arc.
You know what? She learned her lesson and I think it's time for us to move past this. You don't accomplish anything by focusing on the past.
>>738776229What future does IDW have outside of dragging its feet to the grave?
>>738755797wow there is actually people defending ian flynn and shilling IDW, what fucking cancer have they been putting in the water to make the nu-sonic fans so goddamn retarded?
>>738776292the shills who slurp up ian's lesbian literallywho OCs
>>738775521>unironically defending this shitWho was the redditor that groomed you,kid? That shit on the left bis corny as hell
>>738776314Did you ever accuse your parents of being retarded and drinking cancer water every time they held an opinion or viewpoint you didn't like?
>>738776387Corny is sincere and soulful you irony-poisoned redditfag.
>>738775521Kid, baitposts only work if it's popular,nobody uses the general.
>>738776292More representation for folx who desperately need to see themselves in this franchise.
>>738748864Sonic loves Hitler just like me, he wants to gas jews fast
>>738771375>Thou shall not killI see you're doing the meme
>>738747853i hate you fags
>>738776486My parents know what's best, you however are a stranger and thus highly likely to be retarded.
>>738776627This but unironically
>>738776627Sonic characters fight for whats right
>>738747853Is it though?
>>738763632I'm positive that people who say this have never actually engaged in Transformers media besides G1 much less have the mental capacity to read a book
>>738777489>Energon>literally the worst arc in the franchise aside from DW where it was nonstop kino until it actually did stop
>>738765037IDW is trash but nothing you said here was true at all.
>>738776672Replace Chaotix with sticks.
>>738777929This but in the games and comics
>>738777552The first half of SL is better than any of your shitty comic book nostalgiaslop or IDW homoerotica and the Unicron Trilogy does a morally grey/conflicted Optimus better than anything that came after
>>738776672/pol/fags are so autistic and their enemy communism is just as cringe so there's no balance
>>738747853No kill rule is so stupid. Eggman is literally Robo-Hitler, he's enslaved the killed the world population countless times and as per Forces tortured Sonic for months. Even the Joker is less evil at this point, and Batman should have killed him too.
>>738771493True, ABT for deserves it at least. My biggest problem with Ian is that all his characters sound like him, but otherwise he's OK.
>>738769649Sonic 06 very clearly had artistic intent, it was just badly executed. It follows a lot of the same beats and through-lines as all the other games as well and at the very least had an excuse for why it's so bad. Frontiers was seemingly in development for nearly 6 years, has no real gameplay, no plot, no aesthetic, no actual level design>>738770343Frontiers was a cope after the abject failure that was Forces people were desperate for some kind of change or shift that was already long overdue. It was a wake up call for a lot of people that shit was never going to change even if Shadow Generations was much better
>>738760147Super silver can extend his powers through the whole planet, or most of it, and targeted the virus on a celular lvl to every single living thing, then he threw it away while Sonic opened a portal
>>738754013This
sonic has no games; and even when it did-- it was mogged by mario. why does it have an obsessive following?
>>738778521His last two games are good
>>738778521Sonic is just an upgraded Mario. You play Mario 1 you can go fast as long as you're skilled. Sonic just evolved that by turning up the speed if you knew to take advantage of the terrain while Mario went on to pander to normies and now all his games are for babies and skill is never really a factor.Sonic got bitches lusting over his dick, Mario got friendzoned after 35 years of saving Peach
>>738778620ill be honest, i didnt know these existed.
>>738751575>If you know you lost it then you didn't lost it in a universal, absolute sense. You are aware that you are missing something and you can now use your agency to begin the process of searching for it. Best case scenario: You'll experience a hero's journey, find it and rediscover yourself. Worst case scenario: You'll experience a hero's journey, not find it but the journey itself will form a new identity, possibly a better one.>You can make a new family, possibly a better one.>You can set a new purpose for yourself, possibly a better one than the one you lost.>You always have something better to do in life>You dont have to hunt Sonic down>Sonic will not meet his end by your hands>Do you know how much good things you can still go through?>Do you know you can choose not be stuck in a loop of hate and sorrow>Remaining years of your life are further wasted reliving it over and over.>And all Sonics are in better place because of it>Certain truths are not worth knowing, you are a good proof of it.>This isn't Sonic final battle>Sonic will not meet his doom at your hands
>>738771057
>>738778707I week ago I would have told you to buy Shadow gens for 20 bucks. But the discount is over. Oh well, I will shill it another time
>>738778695you went fast but it felt shallow. i liked sonic, but the only thing i really cared about was the music and some of the stagesBUT NOW? IN CURRENT YEAR? i don't know man
>>738775561Right is Silver which is ironic because the same people who praise Fleetway Sonic and "Tude"nic hate Silver more than any other character
>>738747853Sonic is just Luffy.
>>738777130whos behind him? sonic or the guy
Sonic was never a good character.
>>738779101Both
>>738779148congratulations, you aren't autistic
>>738778071>Even the Joker is less evil at this pointYou don't read comics. You don't even watch movies.
>>738778521Sonic has fake stories and fake gameplay so anyone who would have liked Mario but wants to be an edgy contrarian likes Sonic instead.
We really didn't trust sonic team so much after forces that we wanted an american comic writer to write for the games.Now we're suffering the consequences about it.
>>738778695>went on to pander to normies and now all his games are for babies and skill is never really a factorSo, um... How is that different from Sonic, exactly?
>>738752075Surge is literally the victim in this scenario, she didn't ask to be programmed to want to kill Sonic.
>>738778727>dude just pull yourself up by the bootstraps and become a super hero for no reason
Can this tendie btfo already
>>738779341Sonicfans are allowed to keep the original spirit alive. Mario fans get sued and their wages garnished if they even think of Mario.
>>738779425Yours supposed to “btfo” someone, not wait for it to happen cholo.
>>738779330Just because it ended up poorly doesn't mean we could have known any better. We made the best decision we could at the time by believing in Flynn.
>>738778521You should try sonic x shadow generations and see for yourself anon
>>738779470What didst he meanted at this?
>>738778002I don't know what SL is, I just think Dreamwave was the peak of the franchise. Best art, best stories, best time to be a fan.
>>738778014Someone finally said it.
>>738779547fangames
>>738779802Powkiddy bros, we are SO back!
>>738769014Evan Stanley is the worst writer we've ever had.
>>738779597Super Link (Japanese Energon). The Unicron trilogy like most 2000s anime was completely botched in the dubbing department with voice errors, bad acting and mistranslated dialogue that fundamentally breaks the story. It was especially bad with Transformers since they were rushing them out so the show came out along with the toys
>>738780013Daniel Barnes exists
>>738770945He was like that in Shadow 05 toohttps://files.catbox.moe/y606f2.mp4
>>738780116Don't remind me. But i'll take random BLM faggotry over whatever Evan Stanley is trying to push.
>>738780285>Shadow 05No one calls it that.
>>738780308I call it that
>>738748154>>738747853Sonic - pure unfiltered chaosShadow - synthetic controlled chaosIt was pretty obvious from the start.
>>738780308Every calls it that since shadowgens
>>738767406i really really like this image
>>738751763that's just autistsnon-autists don't care about sonic
>>738780307>THIS is who Pariah was shillingOOF!! I knew Pariah was a fag pseudo-intellectual but I still had some hope in his opinions regarding Sonic.This could so easily be a repeat of what happened with Ian.>Yeah bro, the game's story suck now but there's this one comic writer that would be pretty good for it>retards start campaign for the guy without reading any of his works or knowing who he is>sega actually listens to the (retarded) fans and puts him in a position of power>turns out he's mentally illUgh! Sega just give the writing job to the first Japanese person you see on the street. Guy doesn't even need to know what a Sonic is, just tell him to write a shonen hero story and guaranteed it will be better than any slop we've had in the last 17 years.
>>738747853Ova sonic was wild.
>>738780307His Twitter posts are definitely dog shit but Scrapnik Island was pretty good.Except for the last issue where he made Sonic go all preachy at the end.
>>738780785OVA is objectively the best interpretation of the character. He doesn't want the hero role, he just is by his actions. I really hate this modern interpretation of "He'S LiKe ThE WiNd!" or how he's deeply connected to nature and peace and all that junk. It just comes across of trying to tack on some noble merit badges on him to make him seem more heroic or add some nonsense depth. He's just a cool dude that others aspire to be like. He doesn't go around giving speeches or pep talks.
>>738780307I think I got an aneurysm reading this
>>738779330What happened? I have not played any recent sonic games
>>738781205>"He'S LiKe ThE WiNd!" or how he's deeply connected to nature and peace and all that junk. It just comes across of trying to tack on some noble merit badges on him to make him seem more heroic or add some nonsense depth.He's more about freedom than peace but that is what the creators say he represents just in a more symbolic way. OVA is just Sonic as he usally is. As a matter of fact, JP Sonic is totally consistent while Americans still can't grasp what is a very simple character.Yeah, Sonic is "like the wind" but a lot of these chucklefucks miss the point that nobody needs to say it outright because it's shown through his actions.
>>738779330Frontiers has the best story Sonic has ever had in 20 years. Stop pretending anything we had after 06 wasn't putrid garbage diarrhea >>738781509Nothing. People pretending the comics being boring, not even bad, just boring, is the end of the world
>>738781205> He doesn't want the hero role, he just is by his actions>just a cool dude that others aspire to be likeTo me this is being the wind thou>deeply connected to nature and peace and all that junkNature is the most brutally violent and cruel thing ever. Yeah I get a lot people here interpret it as being some hippy tree hugger vegan garbage, but the word in it's true meaning is nothing like that.I see that sort of unstoppable violence when I look at Sonic speed through grassy fields at astounding velocity. It commands respect like Nature does.
>>738777130Tails would NEVER do it with humans men
>>738781646Free Riders legit has a better story just from having Vector in it
>>738771089Millennial nerds have a weird inability to suspend disbelief so they need to question literally every aspect of the world down to it's most minute details or it "doesn't work". It's no wonder that as soon as people like this entered the creative sphere nearly all western media died within like 5 years.
>American comiclmao
Now make another Sonic thread
>>738780013>>738780116Also Mark Millar
Why are IDW comic readers obsessed with advertising this comic and replacing the games with it?Brutus sadly unrelated.
>>738781646Frontiers has basically no story, it's just stiff action figures standing around in empty landscapes equipping past references
>>738783259Quipping*
>>738758095I miss Ken
