IDW is trash
Autism editionAnd honestly you could tell the same with Shadow alone in OP
This is the thread?
>>560302429True.
>>560302390Jannies need another pay cut.
THIS is the thread
>>560302495Better than cropped gay porn.
There's gotta be an easier way to shave your balls
Some of these posters need to get banned already. It's ridiculous.
I want to brutally bash in the skulls and teeth of Tailsfags with a metal baseball bat loaded with rusty dirty nails.
>>560302701Which ones?
You guys ever think you spend too much time online?
I want to wear a skimpy bathing suit and bait all the cute tailsfags over to my house and let them run a train on me!
Douge
>>560302782we need to purge all characterfags that only consists of sub-humans.
>>560302342Duplicate thread
>>560302976Not usually a Douge guy, but the idea of Rouge witnessing Shadow doing something so mundane and finding it cute seems just in character enough even without it being romantic.
>>560302834Mostly /co/fags that get banned from their board, along with slashy quark duofag and the fags they invite from offsite. They're all pretty insufferable.
>>560303012Go ahead and delete this one, then to keep yours alive, janny.
Is Blaze stuck Silver's purse and tard-wrangler forever?
>>560302782Make sure the baseball bat is super heated to a 1,000 degrees with a flamethrower before you strike.
>>560302834Anyone who showed up after 2010
>>560302701The blossom avatar fag, slashy, tailsfags, duofag, randomfox, all of the annoying faggots that frequent the general.
>>560303274you forgot krack
>>560303420Every single shadowfag too.
>>560303274The Blossom avatar fag absolutely. I don't even notice the other ones besides the Tails fag unless they post with a literal name.
>>560303420Krack doesn't avafag though?
>>560303178Yes.
>>560275840what the fuck, sage can speak to us?
>>560303553she does
>>560303445Speaking of Shadow, how is he not constantly depressed? Or is he constantly depressed and that's why he's so irritable?
https://files.catbox.moe/yzkerd.jpg
>>560302782>>560302953¿Qué?
>>560303581I don't think he's depressed. He's just an autistic loner with a superiority complex.
>>560291646I lurk.https://files.catbox.moe/oyp3xe.png
>>560303759That sounds like overcompensating for being severely depressed.
>>560303774Holy shit, you didn't edge us this time. Nice.
https://files.catbox.moe/qqfolh.mp4
>>560303557Why? It's a waste of a character.
>>560303774
>>560302342>Tylenol
With the new book (?), I think its time to address the elephant in the room that is "licensed tie-in" media.
>>560303872No one cares about Blaze.
I care about Blaze something fierce.
The most obnoxious trait you guys have is when you pretend to be someone else to defend your "reputations"
>>560304130I care.>>560302953You have now convinced me to become a tailsfag.
>>560304238>>560304225Why? She doesn't bring anything to the table besides overly pretentious dimension bullshit.
>>560304130No one cares about Blaze because she's Silver's tard wrangling purse. If they just didn't something not shit with her. Oh wait, that describes everyone that isn't Sonic.
Cream the Rabbit...?
>If they just didn't something not shit with her.
>>560304312>flame power>cat girl>fastIt's pretty simple.
>>560304360Go to jail
>>560304312Because I like the cool cat lady? You can have whatever opinion you want, I don't care.
>>560303759TRVTH NVKE
>>560304648How is that a truth nuke? Shadow literally always looks either angry or sad.
>>560303774>PenisLunar is a girl.
>>560304360The adventurer!
>>560304735
i'm tailsfan btw
>>560304734He even looks depressed here.
>>560304538After (You), Dr. Pizza.
>>560304805I loathe trannies. They are so desperate that they put themselves in literally everything. It's like they're trying to convince themselves.
>>560303420what's wrong with krack
>>560304878Well duh
>>560303759Shadow has depression. How else do you explain compulsively thinking "I shouldn't have been born" or "I am a failure"?
>>560304765Cute little rabbit.
Girls give me boners.
>>560304878And it doesn't even work because the millennial writing is so distracting and unappealing the identity of these characters just flew over the audience's head. The writing also depend on social media culture and context so much that if you watch them in 50 years there is no way for you to know that X is lesbian, Y is genderfluid and Z is asexual, because nobody cares and is not relevant to the plot.
>>560304238>>560304813>Smmmmooooooch~!
>>560305176Wait, like all girls?
>>560304557Blaze is not cool, she is a Mary sue.
Is D-Art the most based Sonic artist of all time?
>>560305127He isn't depressed anymore. Shad05 was the depression game and he got over it in the end. Shadow Gens was also additional closure. He's literally just a loner that wants to handle things on his own if he can help it now.
>>560305292I'm not that kind of tailsfan btw i hate rouge. For me shadowfags can keep her.
>>560305380He's not a "Sonic artist". Sonic is just another vehicle for him to push his degeneracy ontoNot hating, I think that's based.
Blaze isn't cool at all, she's a pyro.
>>560305345well maybe not all girls but most of them. as long as you don't look like a necromorph
>>560305524One Brand I've had it up to HERE with you. This ends here.
>>560305380yes for making moralfags seethe
>>560305612
>>560304878>say this>agreement>say this (but identifiable as [namefag]>insta-seethe, worse than hitler >>560305408Shadow likely received no permanent growth in Shadow Gens. Maria's wish is still what keeps him going, it fuels his indomitable will. He will continue to be a loner who has no friends or lover by choice. If you expect anything different in future media, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment.
>>560305801
Why won't she let Shadow move on?
>>560305928She's a white devil.
Shadow olè
>>560305985I don't know why, but seeing Sonic products just makes me laugh outloud. From those popsicle things to that blue curry, it just makes me chuckle. Maybe it's just the absurdity of seeing a brooding hedgehog on a shelf?
>>560305801What? I said it was additional closure from his finished arc in 05. It doesn't matter if you think it'll stick or not. He's the same character post-05.>he will continue to be a loner who has no friends or lover by choiceI didn't say otherwise.
>>560306145Buy Bump products insteadget the bump mousepad
>>560305928By "move on" you mean "fucks a random bitch" because (You) want to fuck the random bitch too and cannot cope with anything that isn't "relatable" like a troon
>>560306179I'd buy Bump's Bumps
>>560305928One reason
>>560305801>Shadow likely received no permanent growth in Shadow Gens.It depends on what Iizuka wants, if the Sonic Team follows what the "lore team" wants, Shadow will likely forget Maria. because muh character growth.
>>560306265only 5.99$ !
>>560306376Only 5.99!? Those are some cheap asa Bumps. Must not be very good if everyone can afford them.
>>560306458*cheap ass bumpsFuck my stupid autistic life
>>560306458Bump just doesn't know how much her boobies are worth...
Pirating Bumps boobies
>>560306565If I pay 12$ do I get Sage too?>>560306598Death
>>560306641>do I get Sage too?Not enough money.
>>560306319>if the Sonic Team follows what the "lore team" wants, Shadow will likely forget Maria. because muh character growth.Anyone who tries to do this unironically doesn't understand Shadow. They believe his morality is shaped by the shallow modern-day consensus of what's right or wrong. They're eager to shove him into a tired, stereotypical box. But that's not who he is. Shadow forgetting Maria would be like stripping Sonic of his love for adventure and his spirit of freedom. Without that, he ceases to be the hero we know and love. Removing Maria isn't just rewriting Shadow, it's stripping Shadow of the very reason he's a hero in the first place.
>>560303870you go little guy
>>560306680I'd rather just get more Bumps anyway than that flat ass sloth
>Iizuka: The difference [between Sonic and Shadow] is that Shadow is a dark hero. Sonic is a hero who protects justice and peace, but Shadow is a dangerous character who doesn't care what happens to anyone as long as his goal is achieved. Shadow is not a righteous hero, so even if someone is in trouble on the side of the road, he doesn't help them. Shadow risked his life to protect the planet for his beloved Maria. His main goal is not justice, but protecting the planet that Maria loved.
>>560306784Shadow is such an asshole, man.
>>560306942You wouldn't help human scum either if you were him. In fact I bet you regularly pass homeless people begging for food or money and you don't even have his excuse.
>>560306784Link to this interview?
>>560306784And yet he rescues cream from spooky castle. What does this say about shadow?
>>560307036I don't go outside, actually. But I have bought homeless people food before. Just felt more real than just giving them money, and I don't carry cash anymore anyway.
>>560306784>well you see, every hero is a duperhero and every anti-hero is just a hero with dark appearance and all the 2000 shitty rivals are actually hero and friends and they also fuck each other to spread love, and every villain either dies or get redeemed and btw eggman has a soft side UwUBOOOOOOOOOOOORING!*BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM*BORING!*BANG*WHERE ARE THE EVIL WOMEN?!?WHERE ARE THE VILLAINS?WHERE ARE THE ANTIHEROES WHO WOULD SPLIT THIS WORLD IN HALF FOR THEIR OWN INTERESTS?SHITTY YELLOW FACE NIGGERS OF JAPAN, CAN'T EVEN ADAPT SONIC INTO THE MILLIONS MANGA THEY PRODUCE!
>>560307051https://youtu.be/iLFH-3P93eA?t=682 "What makes Shadow different from Sonic?" section.
>>560307214Ma'am this is a Waffle House...
>>560307214that isn't what he said at all
>>560307281Fiona's brain got raped by scourge so now she can't fucking read anymore
>>560307231Thanks.
>>560307247Give me a number 9 with extra blueberries on top.>>560307281It is what they write though!
What Sonic Team believe the characters are and how they actually portray the characters has never been the same and once you realize this, you stop listening to them.
idw team so bad i defend sonic team
>>560307391>What Sonic Team believe the characters are and how they actually portray the characters has never been the same Provide an example of this happening. Are you the foxnigger?
>>560306689Well, in my opinion, they want to characterize Shadow the same way as Vegeta. The super asshole and prideful guy who had a desire, but then moved on from it. They go as far as to make Shadow the same kind of jobber as Vegeta. Shadiw Gen was pretty much about Shadow moving on from Maria after meeting her again, so we will see the result in the next game. That if we don't get a new reboot, it's because Iizuka has a new direction for the franchise.
>>560307461>provide me an example because i never read shit or play the gamesYour shitty rat is the star and everyone else is a cheer leader. They're all friends and their conflinct is little to nothing.
>>560307590Dude Shadow already references Maria in Crossworlds. He is still abiding by her wish, post-Shadow Gens, canonically. Iizuka also hides the Vegeta association on purpose now, likely because it leads the uninformed to believe he's just like Vegeta.
>>560307598So you are the foxnigger. Forces Tails was in-character cope.
From the comments about Metal appearin in BoC, I deduce most people dont even know Sonic has an ongoing manga
metal is much more threatening in the manga than the comics
>>560307681Crossworlds is not a main game, and I'm not talking about the "now", but what the lore team desires for Shadow. They see Shadow the same as Vegeta and want him to follow the same path.
>>560307725I don't care about your personal schizo shit. Characters attritions do not move the plot anymore for decades and this includes rouge not stealing shit anymore, it's just eggman having a fart every time.
>>560307931Metal is a jobber regardless of medium.
Sonic
There is no "lore" team. Sonic isn't about telling stories. It's a brand that makes products for children in different mediums.
>>560303774Haha nice, time to jack off
>>560308217cute...
>>560308271What interview did you say this in, John Sega?
>>560308217Kissing Shado
>>560303774>cumshot into his own mouthIdk how to feel about this but I'm hard as fuxk
I hate that every character knows each other like they're friends even when it makes no sense. Like why are Rouge and Amy besties now? They used to fight. When did that change? Nowhere, they're just automatically friends because they're girls and know each other.
>>560308418Because they act like mascots, not characters. The is why I hate BoC, the way Sonic acts is boring at best and unsettling at worst.
>>560308581KYS. Sonic is a paragon who inspires others. He is supposed to be slightly unsettling.
Sonic and the Lost World feels more natural than Sonic Lost World
>>560303973Sex
Whenever you guys talk about these "new directions of each character" I have to remind myself that you just mean IDW
>>560308581archiefags need to be shot and killed
>>560308581yes i killed my post because i'm done arguing online about cartoons, perhaps it was always meant to be like this. You get the point, they are cereal mascots.
>>560308504>Like why are Rouge and Amy besties now? Because Ian and Evan wanted them to.>They used to fight. When did that change? when Ian and Evan began writing for the series.>Nowhere, they're just automatically friends because they're girls and know each other.Because Ian and Evan don't understand the characters
>>560308351When is this echidna going to do something
>>560308504>I hate that Sonic and his friends are all friendsAutistic opinion aside, there's a game called Rivals that you might like. They're all impulsively hostile and rude to each other for no reason in those games.
stop being mean to knuckles
>>560308750There is nothing to "understand" about these basic ass characters my boy
>>560308709Can't help it when the "Lore team" was also in the credits of Shadow Gen. So it's a possibility that they will have a hand in the next game too.
>>560308790>They're all impulsively hostile and rude to each other for no reason in those games.>Jumping from extreme to extreme.
>>560308790Wow there's a spinoff game from TWENTY years ago where they act rude to each other, thanks anon that definitely solves the issue of them being besties for no reason in recent media.
some stuff in archie is nice and cool
>>560308883>>560308885Is this not what you want? I'm getting mixed signals.
Sell me the waffles, cereal mascot.
>>560307107He sees Maria in her?
>>560308957Nobody said they should be constantly aggressive to each other. They just shouldn't be portrayed as best friends who never fight when they've barely interacted, or when they were previously shown disliking each other.
>i see you don't want uninterrupted sex jokes, perhaps you prefer a castity cage from 20 years ago?it's like talking to vivienne medrano
>>560309097>reddit filename
>>560309150reddit won
>>560308825you'll find peace when you view idw as a filler spinoff like in anime and not a serious part of the franchise
>>560309075Sup dragofag, what's your opinion on this Archie Character?
The most entertaining part of this franchise will always be the porn.
>>560308816Which make it more baffling seeing Ian and Evan fuck it up.
>>560309286weird that this never comes up again in sonic x and clearly establishes at least one other ULF
>>560309384I kind of like that Whisper cries all the time. She isn't Shadow or even Knuckles. She is just genuinely pretty weak emotionally
>>560309038>They just shouldn't be portrayed as best friendsRouge was made a friend/ally after Heroes like everyone else. The portray certain dynamics in a way that makes the most sense even with limited interactions outside of spinoffs. It's all based on their personalities and affiliations with other characters. Those two aren't besties, they're just girls who get along when they play nice.
>>560309306I like Elias, I'm not fully acquainted with him yet but from what I've read he's pretty coolhis arc with Silver is something I wanna hurry and get to reading
>>560309252I really wish that would be the case.
Just got into a car crash (like 3 hours ago actually)Sonic characters for that feel?
>>560309770did you die?
>>560309770Vector. You should go to urgent care just in case.
>>560309286>>560309341Still the closest to shadows orginal sa2 backstory before they retconed all the fake memories of Maria to be real. He was never even on the ark when he was created.
>>560308581Sonic is at his most interesting when he's vaguely creepy
Canon
>>560309798I wish, I apparently had some blood in my mouth, and body was hurting and still kinda hurts, but it doesn't feel like anything serious.Gonna try to sleep it off.>>560309859I declined to go the hospital.
>>560309973kill yourself
>>560309994>I declined to go the hospital.american i'm guessingdon't die kek
>>560309617Nice, you'll love the secret agent Arc, and the spandex too
>>560309994Urgent care as in a walk-in clinic, not a hospital.
They were a fun duo, sad that they literally got murked
>>560309341>Sonic was on the ARK, not Shadow>He wasn't created by Gerald, but was present for research and to be the DNA donor for Shadow like Black Doom ended up being>Shadow's memories of Maria belong to Sonic
>>560309508>She is just genuinely pretty weak emotionallyWhy does this need to be in Sonic? Why are you autists so obsessed with realism?
>>560309508Whisper should show off her tits all the time and do cool action scenes with her wisps
>>560309973Woah that's hot
>>560309973Sauce?

>>560311134Surge looks sexy in her Rider's outfit.
Surge is gonna fight Sonic again.
>>560311839hopefully we actually get a new take on this battle instead of sure desperately flailing against the ultimate gary stu again
>>560311839Yet another jobbing incoming
>>560311531What even is the idea behind two worlds? They're accessed via giant rings nobody can see and are never referenced...why exactly?
>>560307931Metal seems like less of a character in BoC compared to IDW. BoC leans more into Metal being Eggman's enforcer(mini-boss) rather than the frustration that comes from being forced to have a job like that and deal with Sonic.
>>560311883>>560311889My girls Surge WILL lose but I hope she has an impressive showing so she can have good feats for her inevitable Death Battle.
>>560311918Stop giving literal robot villains "relatable" traits you fucking tranny
funny how the movies were literally just being lore accurate
>>560311942Who is she even gonna fight?
>>560311918Why are you people so lame? Like you really don't get it.
>>560311987Bass.
>>560308750>It's Evan and Ians faultExplain Generations. This is how Sega/ST wants the characters to be.
If IDW were good, Surge would fight Shadow and job brutally, and Shadow wouldn't be nice or forgiving about it whatsoever.
>>560312046btfo.
>>560311983SEGA told them to do 2 worlds. They were planning on making Sonic a mutant from some hidden island, a result of nuclear tests like Godzilla.
Baldy Nosehair
>>560312070Generations is weird because none of the characters ever reference it again and you can kind of justify this with all of them liking Sonic and none of them giving a shit about each other. Even then before this game the idea of Rouge coming to Sonic's birthday was ridiculous. This was the true time they all just became Sonic's friends instead of their own people.
X also had two worlds. This isn't a new thing.
>>560312106Nah Surge could actually take him.
Lani Minella was the best Rouge VA.
>>560312218I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IN THIS
>>560312174>Even then before this game the idea of Rouge coming to Sonic's birthday was ridiculous.I assumed they were old fuck buddies.
>>560302342>#9155Isn't this supposed to be 9156?The previous thread was recycled.
idw is the result of sonic fans thinking theyre better than sonic team. you think sonic team sucks? americans make it 10x worse.
>>560311970>>560312042lol, I don't care about Metal Sonic. IDW does this because this page got the fandom hyped, and the fandom got hyped because it thinks Heroes/OVA Metal is what the character should be.BoC is more in line with how ST actually uses Metal; as a tool to make cool boss fights.

>>560305928
>>560312605By live for himself he means he honors Maria's wish btw.
A single fantastical world works best. Like Dragon Ball and One Piece. A world filled with all sorts of stuff.
>>560312302the entire first act of one of the adventure era games is showing how poorly sonic and rouge work as a team
people obsessed with making shadow stop thinking about maria are all bitter shippers
Anyone out there read Virgin Books?
>>560312219I agree, but the other English Rouge VAs are held back by having worse direction somehow.>>560312174What about Forces, another pre-Ian/Evan story? This game may be why Rouge and Amy are presented as friends now.
>>560312757>the entire first act of one of the adventure era games is showing how poorly sonic and rouge work as a teamWhich one?
>>560312517The IDW explores the Dubious Depths of Metal Sonic's character
Metal Sonic fucking his loathsome copy
>>560312683Two Worlds work better so one world can have goofy light hearted stuff (like Heroes and the Classic games) and the other world can be more serious and grounded things (like the Adventure Games). It would also explain why Blobians and humans can't live together in large groups, rather than implying racial segregation.
Tails anal voring shadow.
>>560313328this would work fine with SA2 and Heroes individually but not with SA1 clearly having both types of locations in a single game
>>560312972>look at all that Sonic's friend! Boy I would like to play as someone other than Sonic!>urm actually, Goyjin, you can only play as shitnic and as shitty classicnic. Oh some rando too
>>560312476Didn't OVA have like a warp zone concept between different places?
>>560313404It's "Classic (better) Shadow" but you get the idea.

>>560308217>Knuxouge>Sonamy>...Tazebuhhhhh nani?
>>560313421Eh, SA1 takes place in a human city and it's action stages have more non Eggman "human" elements compared to the Classics. I think it could take place on the more grounded, but still a little fanciful, human world.Besided, I think ST revived the two worlds thing after X.
