The disabled blonde girl would've been better than Chris.

In the case of Kirby, he can't speak so I guess they wanted a character that'd be capable of dialogue/explaining things

In the case of Sonic, Japan has never liked nor gravitated towards the character so they most likely figured having a kid that real life kids could better relate to would have been a nice gateway for those same kids to start liking Sonic.

In Sonic's case there was no need for it, but they wanted to have a kid character for kids to connect to (it backfired).
At least Chuck was alright, he was basically just Doc Brown.

Tiff and Tuff / Fumu and Bun are more to do with Kirby being too blank slate of a character, but the townsfolk also being a response to the general lack of civilisation in Kirby games.

And that was the dumbest thing they did. Kirby could easily be a lazy big eater that got serious when shit got real. Add Dedede being a foil to him and vice versa, some shenanigans with Metaknight being the straight man and wrap it up with the final arc adapting Dreamland 3/Crystal Shards and you could have had a great anime. Kirby not talking or being a baby always bothered me.

That's the problem.

Why did they make Chris a whiny fag obsessed with SANIC all the time

>>749508504
Realism.

>>749508379
Qrd? You can learn Japanese by consuming Sonic content and make serious nihongo gains!

for example, you can learn that the japanese word for 'army' is GUN, which is what Sonic calls the military

or, for example, you can learn that Omocha means 'baby boy' in japanese, so when combined with Chao, you get Omochao! (baby toy chao)

>>749508707

chris was supposed to be a self insert for special needs kids. normal kids tried to be tails or sonic.

while tiff and the other small kid thing were meant to appeal to jap kids, tiff was the sex appeal

>>749505595
There are Kirby light novels where he does speak and they managed to make it work perfectly fine somehow.

>>749511307
Light novel side material should never be taken 100% seriously. Original creators almost never give a fuck about what happens in them and will retcon them immediately if they need to and that's assuming they even bother pretending that they're canon lore in the first place.

F-Zero we follow some jobber instead of Captain Falcon.

Pretty sure it was intentional, Chris had everything but nothing was as special as Sonic.

Even Eggman berates him at some point for being selfish.

The segway of Season 2 into 3 is fucking stellar desu.

Mike Pollock has passed gas

>>749512369
i said chris was a self insert for special needs kids.
normal kids wanted to be sonic or tails.

>>749505712
I've been watching this with my kid lately, I think Chris actually had good development over the first 2 seasons. He starts out as a whiny brat, but at the end has a real crisis in not wanting his friend to leave, and eventually learns he has to let his friend go. It's kind of touching, honestly.

>>749505972
I guess this is the price I pay for stopping 9/11.

>>749506624
might try this honestly because sonic x is extremely fucking boring otherwise and i want to learn japanese

So is Sonic X actually good? I heard s1 is monster of the week shit, s2 is an adaptation of the Sonic Adventure games and that s3 is an original story

well, the reason for that is because of anime music licancing and the fact that Hal, in their infinite wisdom thought it was a good idea to use air ride music.

and that's why you can't even stream the music on the nintendo music app these days (air riders music is fine but air ride? nope the anime fucked it up)
