I have no idea what these rings are. It's been decades since the last time I watched dragon ball
>>
>>575670881
Dragonball Super explains there is one normal timeline (silver ring) but every time someone goes back into the past and changes something, an alternate timeline is created (green rings).

Solaris consumes all but the normal and bad future timelines at the end of 06.

>>575670657

>>575671052
Well if Solaris deleted timelines then that means it doesn't work like Dragon ball right? Dragonball never made Trunks forget his memories of a previous life like Silver

IDW is trying to get Blade if Courage cancelled by sending it to app hell and tanking any appeal it could have in the west. And I expect the translation to be ass too.

I'm talking about the possible leak. If that cover was first shown here with a fake tweet for ragebait, that means someone official knows exactly what they're doing to piss people off here

Nah, IDW is trying to pull a power move because people shit on their Sonic comic and glazed the manga. This is revenge.

Even if they succeed this won't end in their favor, if your comics eill always suck you might as well get to boost your revenue instead of ending into twitter politics... sega as always is incompetent because of boc fail they lose another license to suck money from.

Smash isn't a fighting game

This isn't even me ragebaiting. It's basically its own genre of platforming combat that people only care about because of the character roster. Hell, most people only care about Smash for the reveal trailers, the game itself is almost irrelevant compared to reaction videos.
>>
Sonic needs a fighting game that isn't a fighting game because people don't like playing fighting games but love talking about fighting games

Westerners have no sense of object permanence. Their perception og this is loterally dependant on who is the main character at any given time because they have main character syndrome.

Sonic wasn't a "motormouth" in ShtH. He talks more because he is an NPC giving out exposition in cutscenes to an amesiac. His dynamic with Shadow isn't meaningfully different from SA2 except for the fact Sonic is written like hoe he treats Shadow by the end of thr game while Shadow is written like how he treats Sonic by the beginning of the game.

Sonic in every other game before colors is still cool. Its just they misplace their feelings about Shadow doing superficially "cooler" things as the game making Sonic out to be less cool because they dont wanna be accountable for their feelings.

These are the same people that back in 2005 were accusing Shadow of being cringe and edgy and doing "stupid shit that doesnt belong in a Sonic game" but now that that era of discourse is over they have to come up with a new narrative.

Just admit you find edgeshit cooler. Literally the same scoffing dismissive attitude Shadow has with Sonic in his game is in SA2 to begin with.
>>
>>575670524
No it doesn't.
Thr game itself describes "The Past", "The Present" and "The Future" as the "tinelines".
Its not multiverse theory.

Honestly, Amy's mysticism feels more unified with her core character concept than Tails is with his tinkering.

Amy is a fortune teller whose card reading led her to a destined encounter with Sonic, which was love at first sight, and now she believes they are destined lovers bound by the red string of fate. That is one holistic character concept that explains her background, personality, motivation, etc., all at once.

But Tails' entire character is split down the middle. He's a kid who was a bullied for having two tails until he was inspired by the sight of Sonic running by, and he thought Sonic was so cool, so he started following Sonic around out of a desire to be cool, too. Through Sonic, he learned to see his two tails as a sign of vitality, and over time he grows to believe in himself and become someone Sonic can rely on. ....And _also_, Tails loves tinkering with technology and has invented many things, he was captivated by the sight of Sonic's Tornado and has made upgrades to it over time, and his skill even rivals Eggman but he has yet to reach his true potential.

These two sides do not feel unified. Tails' technology has virtually nothing to do with his backstory or his motivations or anything. The first thing about him is being a kid who can fly fast enough to keep up with Sonic, and the thing that allows him to do this is what he was bullied and ostracized for in the past so its his main source of insecurity and self-esteem. The fact he likes tinkering with technology and pilots Sonic's plane honestly feels entirely separate from that whole narrative and concept, even though its just as integral to who Tails is as a character in general.

It makes me kinda wish Nine's backstory was just part of Tails' original backstory as well, so there could be better unification between Tails' flying side and his tinkering side in a way that enhances each other without the massive divide between his SA1 and SA2 gameplay styles.

This is a very insightful post. I think Sonic Team realised that, which is ehy they have tried to merge and connect the two aspects more over time. In Sonic X for example, thry have him also be bullied for his interests in tinkering, tying his being bullied to both his character traits.

Looking at it now, I am more sympathetic towards the conflict in Tails discourse. But I believe overall, Sonic Team basically decided to lean more on the latter trait because pushing the former is a dead end for the character.

To be fair in regards to Amy though, you coulf argue people do the same thing with Amy's fortunetelling and her piko hammer.
The only reason it was introduced was because the devs wanted to emphasize her tomboyoshness more and make her playable on a fighting game. But now people know her more as "pink hammer girl" instead of "that girl that believes in horoscope shit"
I would say the two are less seperate or distinct traits, since the latter played into her arc of becoming more capable to impress Sonic and fend for herself, but there is something there.

But yeah if Tails 2 things were his tails and his tech, Amy's was her mysticism and her physical growth arc.

The reality is though you can only physically grow more powerful so much before you kind if have to plateau and it just becomes implied rather than visible.

Is Amy is gonna be comparatively capable to the core cast, then she kind of HAS to lean into her horoscope stuff more.

This is the problem in general with people

Amy fans smiled Ian and forced him to stop writing Amy like BoomSally and his writing in IDW has been him apologizing to Amyfans ever since.
The Amy Knuckles vomic he wrote is basically a big "I'm sorry Amyfans for dumping her behind the desk so I coulf play with my per Character Knuckles action figure and have him punch shot while standing next to Sonic"
He dedicates a whole section of the comic to making Amy go back to chasing Sonic and ditch the resistance.

Then Evan pics it up and wanted to write Shadow babysitting Cream but Sega said no, so she wrote proto-Team Rose instead and wrote Amy Amazingly and in character and everyone praised it for giving us more of the real Amy back.
Then be got Test Run where Amy is even MORE like her 2000s self and Trial By Fire where she gets her Tarot Cards back like Amyfags asked. They even made it real merch because we said it would be easy merchandising.
Amy is noe in-character-wise dunking on ever even having had to do lame shit like file forms and do paperwork instead of going on there and being proactive.

Amy's writing in IDW is a result of Amyfags pitching long and persistent enough that now IDW is actually the only place right now where Amy is actually written half decent because the writers are deliberately pushing her to be more like in the 2000s to satisfy us.

So youre wrong.
IDW Amy acts more like 2000s and X Amy now than she did before.
And fans like it, including the humans who claim to not like 2000s Amy or that IDW "fixed" her because they actually like 2000s Amy as well and are just being sheeple.

And I encourage Silverfriends to do the same because supporting friends is what Amy would do

I guess Tails & Amy both have two sides.

One side is Tinkering & Fortune Telling.
The other side is keeping up with Sonic.

Tails and Amy are polar opposite equivalents to each other. Tails has the ability to keep up with Sonic from the moment they met, whereas Amy was physically just a normal girl despite her mysticism and intuition. Over time, Amy developed her physical capability to keep up with Sonic as well, while Tails' growth was through becoming more courageous and self-confident in the abilities he already had.

>But I believe overall, Sonic Team basically decided to lean more on the latter trait because pushing the former is a dead end for the character.
I don't agree with this at all, because his ability to keep up with Sonic is still the basis of how he met Sonic, and his character overall. Ignoring or downplaying this to emphasize the tinkering has only been a detriment because what it really turns into is removing Tails' capability in-general to have him just be tech support.

It's like an inverse of how Amy progressed. Amy went from just a fortune teller to essentially a magical girl using a giant magical hammer and being strong and fast enough to catch up to Sonic. But Tails went from racing against Sonic with his flying ability to relying solely on a mech in one game to then eventually sitting on the sidelines only helping through the Miles Electric or exposition or whatever else, alone. Like Sonic & The Black Knight puts Tails and Amy in relatively equal positions functionally, regardless of Nimue having way more screen time. But the difference is that the role Nimue plays feels natural for Amy's character, while the Blacksmith role for Tails feels completely reductive and destroys like 99% of who he is as a character just to focus purely on the fact that he's a tinkerer.

The character that was introduced to be Player 2 going through the whole adventure by Sonic's side, reduced to just a blacksmith who appears only once.

Seriously Evan is just a terrible fit for Sonic. She doesn't want to write cool action stories, she wants to write tea parties and therapy.

Does anyone else feel insane reading her stories and hearing people talk about her? IF you criticize her people say you're being sexist or mean. No this is literally an action franchise and she insists on writing fucking camping stories where the characters talk about their feelings.
Sage's introduction to the comic is just a sister bonding story for three months that ends in Sage asking Belle to be pen pals after recapturing Metal. It's not like we're doing characte r exploration since her favorite thing to explore is how everyone can be buddies and hold hands.

I'm sure her fanfics with no mandates are entertaining but her actual stories in IDW are cuteslop manhandled into an action story. It's like watching someone try to write Care Bears but with DBZ mandates.

Except the point of Bulma's character is that she is up her own ass and portrayed like a vein and shallow person compared to Goku who is pure and good-natured.

This is westfag101. Western characters historically have no narrative function. They are seen as just a collection of superficial character traits that fit into a plug n play style mold.

Yes if you look at Bulma as just "hot techs savvy girl paired with the MC and who drives the initial call the adventure, then sure. They are comparable.

But the point of Sally vs Sonic is that Sally is supposed to wrangle Sonic and be the mature responsible one. Bulma is not these things.
Bulma is hotheaded and immature and vain and a bitch. But she does grow to show she has a heart and becomes legitimately fond of Goku and they form a genuine friendship.

Amy Rose has always shown weird ass powers in Sonic X, Battle, 06 and etc.
But they were shown without explanation. They were abstract and came out of nowhere and that was part of the joke. Amy, being a regular girls, can do crazy things at moments and you will ask yourself "wtf was that???"

And while I don't mind Tarot Cards as part of the character, they imo make Amy's magic side too grounded.

>LABOR CLASS: blue to teal. This is what most folks are, including Silver. His big metal glove cuffs and boot-cuffs are his IDs. Teal-class are tasked with manual labor in the city’s massive algae processing plants; the main food staple is robot-farmed algae grown in massive patties out on the wastes, which is transported to the city to be processed into complete nutrient cakes, bio-fuel, plastics, and textiles. Silver frequently skips out of work, using his TK to avoid ID scanners and such. He trades fresh water from his hideout to bootleg food carts in the Night Market instead of relying on the daily algae-cake allotment he’d get for showing up to work.

Amy is as normal as Tails is.

Both Tails and Amy are underdogs relative to Sonic, and that's what matters. Amy shouldn't be treated like a real life human girl with no capability or special skill to speak of just to over-emphasize how "normal" she is. She lacked Sonic's speed and strength early on but made up for it in mysticism.

There is a panel in Archie where Eggman basically says Sally is the weilder and Sonic is the gun and without her Sonic has no aim.

NTA, I think this is partially a consequence of Player-2 syndrome. Tails has it better than other P2s because he was made to follow Sonic and cover some of his weakspots (eg.flying) but P2s in general aren't remembered nearly well as P1s. IRONICALLY, I think switching Tails and Rosy at birth so that the latter was P2 while the former was extended cast would've resulted in better writing for both characters in the long run, but hindsight is 20-20.

>>
>>575692119
Tails and Amy's introductions is core to their own archetypal roles, so swapping it feels wrong.

CD Amy being an NPC while S2 Tails is the Player 1.5 and Player 2, establish the core of who Tails and Amy are. And Sonic Adventure gave them both their own separate campaigns developing them further beyond that.

I mean, the baseline of who Tails is, as I always say, is like Robin or Simon the Digger. He's meant to be the kid that follows the cool mentor figure, before breaking out into his own and realizing his own potential. That's why one of his inspirations is Kid Gohan, and what his SA1 story was about.

The problem is that after SA1, this is never truly followed up on, and he's always relegated to just following or assisting Sonic without any real focus or development on his own. Which is what directly feeds into the "tech support" role as his tech side becomes the dominant trait and everything he ever did is put on the back-burner, which leads to being written like how he is in Forces only for everyone playing to see the blatant discrepancy.

Yeah the Blacksmith is part of the gameplay in the sense that you can go to the Blacksmith to upgrade your swords and what-not, but he only has one cutscene.

Sure, he's playable in Multiplayer as well, and I like that... but even still, a slingshot? Really? A whole game about swords, and this is a variant of the kid who follows Sonic around and does what he does, and wants to be like him, and he's not even given a sword of his own despite working on swords being his whole profession here....

>I don't agree with this at all, because his ability to keep up with Sonic is still the basis of how he met Sonic, and his character overall.
Sure, but the basis of how their friendship was solidified was through his tech. He could fly his plane, repair it and upgrade it while he stands on the wing, hair in the wind and fending off attacks.

If not for that, their bond doesnt really cement itself. I'd argue its one of the key differences between Tails and Amy because Tails provides utility to Sonic while Amy provides a conflict (Sonic may or may not like her but isnt down for relationships)
Its why I think some people want her to stop chasing him because they believe she can get more conventional approval and affirmation from Sonic the way Tails does. Though I find this way less interesting then thr cat n mouse thing they are meant to have.

I'm sympathetic to the concern, I really am, but I think when we are honest with ourselves, this just isn't true. All claims to how physically capable Tails is or was prior was always extrapolation or implication. In a real practice, Tails was always more just "tagging along" and #helping in actual practice. And that's to be expected because Sonic is the main character and is ultimately gonna be the one to stand ahead and save the day.

This is what I mean by it being a dead-end for his character. Because it reduces Tails to "Sonic Jr.". Its like how some Gohanfans want him to just replace Goku as the main character. It doesn't really work.
So playing up his tech is the only real logical avenue to make him excel in a way where he stands out while maintaining the integrity of his original concept. Because "wanting to be cool like Sonic" in a direct sense is not possible. But being cool like Sonic by being the best version of himself is.

I have the same problem with people that try to do this woth Amy as well. Trying to turn her visually into just a pink Sonic.

We have an issue in this fandom in general of fans just wanting their pet character of choice to just be Sonic+.

I think its telling that people saw Tails as a equal or even leading in SA2 and saw Heroes as a regression. It's not even that Tails himself actually regressed in Heroes, but relegating him to that role puts him in Sonic's shadow by default.

>Like Sonic & The Black Knight puts Tails and Amy in relatively equal positions functionally, regardless of Nimue having way more screen time. But the difference is that the role Nimue plays feels natural for Amy's character, while the Blacksmith role for Tails feels completely reductive and destroys like 99% of who he is as a character just to focus purely on the fact that he's a tinkerer.

As an Amyfan I find this really offensive. No, Amy being the calm wise soothesayer who tests Sonic's heart instead of the spunky yume who chases him and works out to impress him isn't any less "reductive" as Tails being a blacksmith. If anything, i'd argue its more reductive. Blacksmith Tails at least still feels like Tails. Nimue is a different character entirely wearing Amy as a costume.

>In a real practice, Tails was always more just "tagging along" and #helping in actual practice.
Except no, because even saying this is downplaying his entire character and making it seem like what the games presented just never happened. Which is unacceptable.

>This is what I mean by it being a dead-end for his character.
Seems like the opposite, when the tech stuff leads to the Unleashed-Colors-Generations-Lost World-Forces pipeline of being more and more incapable of doing anything to the point of being utterly helpless at his lowest point, when this debut was all about how he can keep up with Sonic, and his story in SA1 is built around racing Sonic through each level.

It feels like Tails is turned into a completely different character altogether with no shred of his original identity, because everything about who he is as a person is defined by the side that has the ability to fly and keep up with Sonic.

He was bullied because of his tails, became inspired by Sonic running by, grew to accept his unique trait, and eventually becomes loved and accepted as a hero by the city all on his own. His tinkering was always there, but it existed in-support of this narrative.

But now it's like all of that is completely erased, and all he has left is just "being the tech guy", to the point his own character traits are removed just to emphasize it even further, and all shred of physical capability to do ANYTHING on his own is erased as well. How is that acceptable?! How is that any good for his character, when it leads to garbage like Forces!? When all Tails has is cowardice without the courage to make up for it. When the only two characters in the story are just Sonic & Tails together, but Sonic is the only one doing everything while Tails only appears in cutscenes contributing absolutely nothing of value or being written completely OOC just to force a meaningless conflict that only makes him look worse.

I liked CR&BB and TestRun and Trial By Fire. One of the benefits of a comic is you can have the characters in scenarios where they aren't strictly saving the damn world all the time. We already have the games for that so I disagree that the comic having more light stuff is wrong or bad.
Fans actually asked for more light stuff, especially after the MV arc was so draining.

But sure, more action would be nice. Personally I think Test Run was great and had plenty of action

>Because "wanting to be cool like Sonic" in a direct sense is not possible. But being cool like Sonic by being the best version of himself is.
BUT HE'S NOT BEING THE "BEST VERSION OF HIMSELF" AT ALL! THAT IS THE PROBLEM!

We KNOW who Tails is, we've seen him at his best. He's far more than just a tech guy, and heck, he's barely even being that nowadays compared to the past, as well.

Tails had a whole side game where he took on an entire armada by himself with just bombs and gadgets he built in his workshop, before he even met Sonic. He built a giant rocket to space. He built the Tornado II, a superior version of Sonic's plane that's completely his own. He broke into Prison Island with the Cyclone just to bust Sonic out of prison, no questions asked. He had the Energy Ball arm cannon and magic hands in Sonic Battle, alongside his tail attacks.

Where is ANY of that nowadays!? The Miles Electric is a useful computer device, sure, but he's had a whole lot more tech to his name when he was being the kid who wants to be cool like Sonic, than he does now.

At the end of the day,
>Because it reduces Tails to "Sonic Jr.".
This is what the core of Tails' character generally is. He is the "Kid-Sonic", at his core. Even his tech side is built into that, because its inherently scaled to Eggman just as his flight is to Sonic. He is a young kid with the skills of both the main protagonist and antagonist of the series combined, with untapped potential to go even further beyond. His SA1 gameplay is "be like Sonic", and his SA2 gameplay is "be like Eggman". This is his narrative, one way or the other.

If this is the case:
>Its like how some Gohanfans want him to just replace Goku as the main character. It doesn't really work.
What you are ACTUALLY saying is that Tails as a character does not work in this franchise, period. That may not be what you intended, but it's what you're actually implying because this is what Tails' character is built on.

TVTropes itself is ass because it analyses media through this same western reductive lens, testing everything like a collection of database elements rather than narrative functions.
Its also a wiki. Its not based on anything concrete. People just plug shit in where they feel it vaguely resembles the trope.

People make fun of many alleged tropes on TVTropes all the time.
Using TvTropes as a rulebook for media analyze is hack behavior.

No its the character that is different. Sally is not an immature brat who uses her tech skills to get a boyfriend and a lifetime supply of strawberries.

They are superficially similar in that they are "headstrong tech babes" but substantively different in every regard.

This feels like a weird hang up to me. Ultimately these things are meaningless things that have nothing to do with the actual character. It'd be like saying Eggman should never be playable because he was made "the villain".

Those aspects are a part of their conception and inform that conception, but i would hardly say being "player 2 and an NPC" is "the core of their characters".

Thats kind of autistic.

I do agree that their arcs and how that relates to Sonic IS important to their character though. But I disagree that Tails has to focus on being Sonic Jr and Amy needs to remain an NPC background character is "essential" in any capacity or should be maintained.

>>575693861
>No, Amy being the calm wise soothesayer who tests Sonic's heart instead of the spunky yume who chases him and works out to impress him isn't any less "reductive" as Tails being a blacksmith.
I mean in the sense that she's a supporting character in the narrative whose contribution is through mystical stuff, that role fits Amy even if Nimue doesn't have Amy's full personality.

Amy shouldn't be written like Nimue personality-wise at all, Nimue is far too calm. But still, Nimue's contributions to the narrative fit an Amy-adjacent role far better than the Blacksmith does for Tails. The Blacksmith does not actually feel like Tails at all, he doesn't do what Tails should actually be doing. He's -just- a blacksmith who has one cutscene to fix up Caliburn, and that is literally it.

Honestly, I'd rather "Tails & Amy" both have far more presence in a story that is otherwise the best possible characterization of Sonic himself. Its an insult to both for them to be so severely shafted, but at least "Amy" got more than "Tails" did.

>>575693861
>Trying to turn her visually into just a pink Sonic.
>
>We have an issue in this fandom in general of fans just wanting their pet character of choice to just be Sonic+.
The fact of the matter is, these characters ARE built around mirroring Sonic in some way.

Tails at his core is functionally Robin or Kid Flash, the sidekick who is the kid version of the lead mentor. Amy is Minnie Mouse to Sonic's Mickey, so she's the girl version of the lead mascot. Even their own unique traits exist in relation to those roles. So naturally, growth for both Tails and Amy ultimately means "be more like Sonic" because that is literally their goal, from different directions.

What makes Tails and Amy unique largely comes from the fact they both have "half" of Sonic's character in different ways, and they're missing the other half which becomes the vehicle of their growth.

>when the tech stuff leads to the Unleashed-Colors-Generations-Lost World-Forces
It doesnt though. Tails using his tech wasnt an issue prior. Tails being like that in Unleashed has nothing to do with his tech and everything to do with the game becoming Sonic central to the active downplaying of other characters in relevance to appease boomer critics.
This is what i mean before by the main way his physical ability was in prior games was implied through gameplay. So when Tails stopped being playable, that perception evaporated.

I need you to calm down and take this with level head. Im not shitting on tails. Im asking you to engage with the observation while seeing where im coming from.

>>575695296
I never said Amy should remain an NPC.

I said being introduced as an NPC is core to her character, as the starting point of her character growth. Tails being introduced as Player 1.5 / Player is HIS starting point. The base of who Tails is, is inherently built around having the physical capability to do what Sonic does and keep up with him.

Tails and Amy's stories in SA1 have the same general conclusion, but from these opposite starting points. Amy has the heart, Tails has the skill, but they lack what the other has and have to learn to develop it themselves in order to be more like Sonic or be closer to that ideal in the way they want.

Tails' unique skills, like his flying and his tech, are what he can do that Sonic doesn't. They are what push him beyond just being another Sonic. But that should not ever mean reducing him to tech support. Just as Amy got stronger and faster, Tails should be growing as well through his own skills, and neither side should lose what they already excelled at from the start either.

It'd be fine if Tails took on more of a backseat role in Sonic's adventures, if he was having his own adventures on the side. But that's not what's happening. Instead, Tails has been reduced to an NPC at the cost of his own capability that he was introduced with, and this is detrimental to his character writing as well. Because it became virtually impossible to write Tails consistent with his S2 -> SA1 characterization because all of it is dependent on how capable and active he is. The entire meta era tries to keep him as the kid who follows Sonic around on his adventures yet paradoxically refuses to actually let him DO THAT so he's in this weird middle ground where he's there in cutscenes but because he's not playable, he never gets to do anything or even seem like he can do anything.

The games becoming "Sonic central" to the point that even Tails' character is functionally destroyed on a conceptual level, is not and can never be presented as a good thing.

Not when the very basis of what he was built to do becomes forbidden or ignored. What I often value is characters being true to their original conceptual foundations. Fact of the matter is, Tails throughout the meta-era has not been that. And no the tech itself is absolutely not the problem, because even there he's not doing much compared to the past either.

I don't like that SA2 stuck him in a mech and had him share Eggman's gameplay, but even that is better than what the meta era gave us. Sonic Forces, and what Sonic Unleashed started, simply should not have happened, period. Tails is rendered helpless and totally reliant on Sonic to the point of cowardice on his own, or being written severely OOC like in Lost World otherwise.

>>575696942
I don't know what you're talking about by "databasing" or whatever, and stop taking the comparisons I use so literally. No, they weren't thinking of Robin specifically, but "Robin" is the archetypal concept they were aiming for with how Tails' character was conceptualized. And Tails was made with largely the same mindset as Robin, in the sense that they were both made to represent the younger audiences.

>>575697085
I'd prefer if she was, but the baseline of how Amy was introduced between both CD itself and the manga is as someone that couldn't do what Sonic does and needed him to rescue her. And her story from then on through even Sonic the Fighters, and Sonic Adventure, is changing that narrative and proving she CAN do what Sonic does and doesn't need anyone to rescue her.

It's almost like this has consistently been her arc since... literally everything after CD. And maybe that's why people like her as the excitable tomboy who loves adventure and trains and improves to catch Sonic's eye while joining the fray with her iconic hammer that she's had for 30 years. She can have other traits and facets to her character, but really that's the core. That's the main focus and the draw. It's really just as simple as you said it.

Regardless, the baseline of Amy's existence is like Minnie Mouse being basically Mickey but female but its Mickey who gets to do all the action or have Disney magic and go on crazy adventures most of the time. Or basically being like Lois Lane or whatever, otherwise.

That's where Amy starts, just as Tails' starting point is being Robin or Kid Gohan, and both grow beyond those roles. Because that's what SHOULD happen with those archetypes. A kid sidekick is meant to grow and evolve being simply being the kid in the hero's shadow, and any female love interest character should have the same capacity for growth so that they aren't totally helpless and reliant on the hero as well.

If Amy were stuck as CD Amy forever and never allowed to do anything in the plot, she'd be having Tails' current problem, and it'd be just as bad. At the very least, Amy's personality is too Sonic-coded for that to make any sense long-term because she's too inherently strong willed, impulsive, hot headed, adventurous, courageous and a thrill seeker for her to NOT be a proactive player eventually.

Tails being put in that position nowadays is such a problem for a similar reason, he's been a proactive player in the plot since day 1 of his existence. But his personality is the opposite of Amy. Tails is timid and insecure, he's humble and modest about his own abilities, he's very gentle and soft compared to her whose a lot more aggressive and overwhelming by comparison.

Tails' physical capability, his courage, his strength and speed, exist in contrast to what you'd see on the surface. It's like ...

In Undertale, there's the Orange Soul of "Bravery", and its items are Tough Gloves for punching, and a Manly Bandanna. In Deltarune Chapter 5, this gets turned into an actual character. Is it someone big and tough like Knuckles? No. Its a tiny little mouse who struggles to be brave, yet still packs a big punch. That's what Tails is supposed to be.
