The fact that Silver is still popular after so many years of "potential" is baffling to me.
>>743342278Just recolor Sonic into any color of the rainbow and the autists will eat it up
popular by whom?the usual furries?
>>743342278Sonic characters suck in general. They just get by on their designs.Silver is yet another example.
>>743342278I like Archie Silver he fits being an awkward weirdo better like his inspiration
Certain characters you just wonder what the point is it of them existing. Are they comedic relief, supporting members, antagonists, self-inserts, romantic interests, rivals, worldbuilding characters who dispense information etc. But what is the fucking point of Silver? What does he offer that isn't covered or done better by characters who predate his existence? What fans exist to even justify his own well...existence?
>>743342565>What fans exist to even justify his own well...existence?He's a developer's pet character, and said dev is one of the higher ups at Sonic Team. That's pretty much the only reason he keeps showing up. Forces is a funny example of this because Silver is just present without any real acknowledgment from any other charcat, and the only reason they included him at all is because that previously mentioned dev was the game's producer.
>>743342278>so many years of "potential"bro washed Sonic in 2006 and equal to Shadow too.Learnt Chaos control 5 sec after Shadow did a Chaos Kick in his head.>He lost in Sonic GenerationsLiterally fighting in Crisis city vs Sonic (never happened) and SMILING at the intro.They overall made him way dumber than he is. Because if he locks in, he's a beast.
>>743343095>Besides Silver he also created InfiniteHow the fuck Nakamura still has a job on Sonic Team?
Friendly reminder that anyone who criticizes the Sonic series secretly has a fetish for murdering people.
>>743343261>Because if he locks in>if"if" and "when" but never "is"
>>743343353We saw him locked in 2006. Again washed Sonic and traumatize players with ''It's no use'' boss fight.
>>743342278Silver's really funny and cool, man, especially in the Archie comics. I like him, I like his potential. I hope they do more with him.
would silver have been more well received if he was a grill.
Why do brown powerscalers have a problem with people acknowledging that a character has wasted potential?
>>743344971I never really understood in terms of fictional of the subject "wasted potential". Everything could have wasted potential. It's a pointless observation to make.
>>743343276Well it's not like their standards for consistent quality are very high.
>>743344883Not better recieved if the story remained as shit as they were, she'd have more simps urging Sega to do something with her instead of the handful of fujos we have now.
>>743342278Not really. Idw faggots don't even buy the games. They just wank over their gay comics and make all discussion about them
>>743342565Silver is the Trunks to Sonic's Goku and Shadow's Vegeta but his creators didn't get get what made Trunks work.Trunks is supposed to be more mature and responsible than Goku and Vegeta but Sonic reverses the dynamic. Silver is naive. It doesn't really work, Silver is hopelessly outclassed by Sonic and Shadow.
>>743344883She'd be the Krystal of the Sonic fandom.
i like him in 06
>>743345763his story in 06 was sequelbait where he wouldve gotten a multi-game character arc, like shadow but instead of bringing him back due to fan demand it wouldve been planned from the start. the game flopped and shitted though and sonic team changed course so he never got his story completed
>>743345926but we're still stuck with him
>>743342278He's not much but Classic is ass, cartoons are useless, 2000s are pigeonholed, IDW can't shit without an L, and '20s make kids cry. Nothing good to work, the franchise has to make do.
>>743342278I love Silver and I can't wait to see him in the post credits scene of Sonic 4
>>743347780I just realized that Amy in Movie 4 is basically taking Silver's place as the "time traveler from a bad future" character. Surprised they're not integrating him into some kind of side role.
>>743342278Who?
>>743347975Amy has to show up because of Metal Sonic but the time traveling shenanigans give me hope to see my boy on the big screen.
