I actually want the silver game to not have blaze in it. not because i care but because twitterfags will virtue signal about misogyny and because sega adn sonic team reads twitterfag responses it could cost future silver gameplay and content to be cut down.

It's funny to remember how Blaze involvement in anything made it so forgettable except when she's next to Silver, while for Silver, he's praised the most when that leech is not even around.
It's hard to virtue signal for something that would not make these fags popular, that's the entire reason behind it in the first place.

They don't make sense either, but somehow, that's more acceptable in 2D. Also more acceptable in a late 20th century video game.

Unlike some past supplementary material, Sega and Sonic Team are working very closely with it, they're much more involved and already see it as "theirs" more than any previous side project.
This isn't something like Satam or Archie that they'd be fine with erasing since they didn't make it, they actually care about IDW.

There is too mcuh americanisms and OOC in it for me to believe it isn't just them letting americans do the marketing overseas, and it wasn't even canon in the first place until at least 2023 ish.

yes they tardwrangle them more to prevent an archie situation but that's the extent of it

What you people do not understand is that there is no such thing as canon. Neither Sega or Sonic Team give a shit about anything that happened. The past is only referenced if it serves whatever drug-fueled ideas <current director> has. Characters exist only as designs with loose traits applied inconsistently at the discretion of the story writer.

You can save them both in a new main game with good writing and gameplay, or you can vault them forever. Which do you choose? Whatever you choose, they do it together
>>
>>579653947
Even if they let the Americans play around with their characters, but that doesn't mean that they don't accept the end product as part of their brand, it's not new for Sonic Team, remember Colors and Lost World?
They probably don't care THAT much, since it's not something that they do fully by themselves, but it's probably still something that they think fits within their creation and are fine with adopting it into the larger brand, don't forget all IDW characters have been technically been co-created with Sega/Iizuka.

Colors is normal japanese story outside of dubisms, they are able to keep what is consistent in jp more. lost world is the only jp thing blatantly ooc.

that being said a side media that wasn't canon in the first place is much easier to dismiss than actual released games.

Ok but collab slop is a fad that'll get old eventually, maybe it won't ever be decanonized, but i don't see it as an impossibility either. it mostly depends on how much more popular sonic can get in japan.

If they didn't decanonize 06, Lost World, or Sonic 4, they won't decanonize IDW, it might be controversial, but there would be no benefit on doing so.
Also, I dunno how much Japan actually matters in this specific situation since we already know Sonic's popularity there is minimal anyway, getting rid of IDW wouldn't somehow change that.

Bottom-lining it, jap purists are the worst and are worthy of every single inch of karma thrown to them.

I bring up japan because frontiers and boc increased some of sonic's popularity over there and anectodally been seeing more jp twitter sonicfags lately. not saying it is enough but if it eventually gets enough they will prioritize appealing to homeland and west shit probably will get minimized in importance comparatively.

06 is honestly one of the more relevant stories to the series, along with sa2.

Somehow I doubt Sonic could get so popular in Japan that they would stop caring about the majority that are the Burger fans.
And even then, like I said, there'd be no point on decanonizing IDW, if anything, they'd probably just make a bigger effort to translate it into Japanese for their new bigger audience.

Kinda hard not to feel that way when most of the marketing and care goes to the furry-adjacent creatures.

Robots like Omega and Emerl/Gemerl get routinely forgotten about, the god creatures/alien races are usually one game end bosses with no longevity or treated like the Wisps, any humans not named Eggman or Maria barely exist.

Accurate. Most arguments revolve around archiefags trying to claim Spinball is canon and that's why the Freedom Fighters need to come back or some shit. There's also IDW fags claiming their comics are canon even though they conflict with the games. Also retarded SoA claiming things like Sonic Prime are canon to trick people into buying/watching it.

Yeah, and I never said otherwise. You could have said mainline/core, that's the appropriate word.

"Correct" isn't. That's just inviting more infighting and wars, which people intentionally word it out like that to show off their No True Scottman complexity syndrome and flex their no-life terminally online manchild asses. There isn't a "correct" Sonic, that's the point.

Galahad is supposed to be completely asexual and pure, well the knights aren't completely identical to the ones in the actual story but still.

I just feel like making it conform to trad roles or about bringing in secret feminine side or whatever is already too similar to either what sonazefags headcanon or what sonamy already is in canon.

It's hard to argue for a "true" modern Sonic because modern Sonic never had a consistent tone or character portrayals. Some stuff was carried between games and other stuff was forgotten. Honestly you can see that in Classic as well, though at least the core years of Classic (1991-1994) are fairly consistent, and the discrepancies afterwards are quite minimal

The initial Sonic Movie pitch made by Pat Casey and Josh Miller before even Sony's corrections was meant to
>show how Chaos Emeralds fell in South America
>they created "these characters"
>Sonic was already a hero and protected the Zone
>Robotnik one day stole the Emeralds and Sonic had to fight him in the US to get them back in order for the Zone to stay intact
>Sega liked it, but said it won't pass

>Sega said Sonic had to come from another world

Jeff made a different pitch
>Sonic as a kid, but he wasn't allowed to run
>Sonic discovers a way to get to Earth where he runs and he stumbles into Robotnik
>later they wanted to have Sonic on Earth faster, they didn't want to spend the entire first arc on Mobius
>they wanted Sonic to have a friendship with some kid, but this was scrapped
>and finally they settled on this Little Mermaid type of character

Modern/Classic really boils down to just a design preference, there is no objective truth to what's better. It really depends on if you like Sonic being cuter or Sonic looking cooler
Personally I prefer Sonic's design to be tweaked to better reflect the game and setting he's in instead of just having 1 static design
I hate how every single game now have to use the exact same Sonic design since Unleashed. That's why I don't like the current Sonic branding shit that Sega is doing since they try to make the Sonic series look as homogenized as possible with the same look and everything without any change that would keep things fresh

Frontiers didn’t really come close, basically every conversation had to do with Sonic in some way, all 3 of them needed Sonic to give them some sage (no pun intended) wisdom or advice. If Sonic Tram cared about them at all they’d actually give them each their own campaigns in the next game like Ian was hinting at, but they won’t. They don’t actually care about anyone besides Sonic and Shadow

Frontiers did add Tails, Knuckles, and Amy as playable characters but only later on and their stories were short. The next game needs to have stories for Tails, Knuckles, and Amy as long as the ones from SA1, and a better open world.
I think Sonic Team only cares about Shadow now, not even Sonic. It feels like Shadow does all the cool stuff now and that Sonic has never recovered the coolness he used to have in the 2000s games

The idea is supposed to be that Sonic is a rebel who gets a bunch of followers in his "gang". Its called a nakama.

Its a thing with its own merit and charm and is preferable because it lets the characters have their own lives and be defined by personal journeys that are complementary.

Because the latter forces you to have to ground them in a centeal setting and make their existences revolve around always being with eachother.

In Sonic Unleashed, Sonic just runs into Amy in Spagonia. She isnt there because they are always in touch and call eachother every day and thry go everywhere together. No.
Amy was there ON HER OWN for her own reasons because she wanted to go there herself. And then happens to run into Sonic.

People talk about how she revolves around Sonic in that era but despite her being less Megadere over him, she arguably revolves around him way more now.

At least before, when she found Aonic it was because she happened to or chose to of her own volition. Now she ironically has less agency.

You're taking both angles way too literally here. He's talking from a narrative/writing standpoint. A friendship is kind of meaningless in writing unless you do something with it. Sonic having a bunch of people who just sort of intersect with him from time to time gives more flexibility to let them do whatever without the obligation to make them some kind of emotionally bonded pair. I probably can't explain it as well as he might, but yeah, you're basically just looking at this too literally.

No, you got together because you happen to meet up because of your oen life situation (school, work, etc) resulting in you meeting eachother. You only really hung out deliberately on occasion.

No, chatting on discord doesnt count.

It's not a literally crime gang. It's more like youth culture clics. You're friends and you have your oen lives but you get together for your particular hobby or interest rather than your lives completely revolving around eachother.

None of this even matters anyway because there is no inherent "superiority" to makong them like the backyardigans or neighbors like its Boom or something.

From a narrative standpoint, doing so only limits the writing and characters, not the reverse.

I dont know how anyone can think Knuckles just being Sonic's brother who lives in a suburban house with him is better than him being his own character as guardian of Angel island and thr master emerald.

We're just collecting Sonic scrimblos like its 100Girlfriends or something.

>>579685795
You’re describing a situationship not a friendship. What the core 4 (should) have is deeper than that at the very least

>>579686139
>You're friends and you have your oen lives but you get together for your particular hobby or interest rather than your lives completely revolving around eachother.
Again, what is with you people and your views of friendship? There is no “devotion” or obligation to spending time with each other, you do it because YOU WANT TO, and at whatever frequency you want to. Having friends doesn’t mean you can’t have your own personal life, if anything of your “friends” make you feel this way, they’re not actually your friend, they’re using you. That’s what the game core 4 feels like more than any other version of it

thats true but i think it nails the aesthetic sonic team were going for at the time. it looks like if the original sonic adventure concept art was turned into a 2d game, which is pretty cool i think. id love to see a proper 3d game in the sonic jam style but i think thats a bit too complex for the scene in its current state, aesthetically nu-XG is very close to pre-redesign sonic, more than the mega drive or dreamcast games
>>
>>579690260
The east Asian script isn't intended for the western audience. That's what they were thinking, localized versions are for your market and you shouldn't care or know about the original Japanese because it's not adapted and approved for your culture and how they want the series to be perceived in your area

tbf with frontiers its just a pants-on-head situation all around. kishimoto made the setting and basic concepts, but all the dialogue was written by ian, who basically ignored it and just wrote his own thing, probably because he didnt even see what kishimoto was going for. and then kishimoto MTL'd the english script back into japanese and changed some things he didnt like to make it more in line with his own vision. but the field dialogue was handled by a different team and was closer to the english original. its just a complete incoherent experience all around no matter what script you decide to play with. sonic team just needs another maekawa because even when stuff is handled completely by the japanese like with forces it still flops because theres nobody there who knows how to turn those base ideas into a good story anymore

The English script significantly changed the characters' dialogue exchanges. In the English version, Knuckles confides in Sonic that he just wants to have fun despite having to guard the master emerald and Sonic then encourages him to "get out there and live a little". The Japanese version makes Knuckles say that he wants to know more about his clan's origins despite it being risky to his life.
The English version of Amy's exchange with Sonic makes her say something vague about sharing her love with the world while the Japanese version makes her verbally express love for him.
This is extremely unprofessional and unfair and it strips Amy of her biggest character trait in the English dialogue, not to mention that it also changes the motivations and goals of the Tails and Knuckles too. "It's meant to appeal to western sensibilities" is a stupid and meaningless excuse

He didn't MTL because he got the Japanese translation and was doing the final check, but he saw how weird it was and wanted to change it. Also, he changed everything and did it himself because there were no writers available; kinda why, if you play in Japanese, the story is almost completely different. I do remember him saying he went without sleeping to finish the script before the launch.
>>
>>579691978
Plus, localization has to do with replacing foreign cultural concepts with domestic ones. It's like finding the closest English analogue for a Japanese idiom instead of literally translating and explaining the meaning of the Japanese idiom. There was no reason for the English script of Frontiers to change Tails and Knuckles' motivations and goals and for it to erase Amy's love for Sonic. These things need to be translated, not changed.

>>579692397
>Forces had massive discrepancies between the English and Japanese dialogue too. The English dialogue made the characters jokey, sarcastic, and out of character while the Japanese one was in character
the changes for english definitely suck but the main problem with forces is just that its bad. infinite is potential man 2 but even worse. he has a concept of a backstory thats never elaborated on and his character never gets a conclusion. the OC is done really poorly and in a boring way. the way the whole war thing is handled is just really cheap and not good, theres no stakes or urgency. the world design is generic and not interesting, theres none of the stuff that makes sonic "sonic" other than sonic characters being present. a better writer could take forces and turn it into something interesting but it would probably be almost completely different in form from the current final game
>>
>>579693368
If you consider the sub-culture within the western Sonic fanbase, then it is a form of localization. They made those changes because they thought the west would respond more positively to them. Example: Tails mentioning Infinite directly in English

Is this why Kishimoto didn't change the English script to be more like the Japanese one? He simply ran out of time to do it?

Colors and Lost World also had language discrepancies. Jokey and sarcastic in English but in-character in Japanese. The worst part about this is that Ken Pontac and Warren Graff then clarified as a response to backlash that they didn't take liberties when writing the English dialogue and that Sonic Team had ordered them to write it like that. They sent a bunch of drafts and revisions to Sonic Team until Sonic Team approved of it 100 percent.
I fear that even if we do get a Japanese writer again, the lore team is going to whisper into Sonic Team's ear and tell them that western fans want the English dialogue to be super different from the Japanese one and Sonic Team is going to gullibly believe the lore team

of course but something just being in character doesnt mean its good. its one part of the pie. colors is probably the strongest post-maekawa story in japanese but it still has quite a few drawbacks, the story was still animated around the english dialogue. it exceeds in its visual storytelling and world design, which is basically the last of its kind in the series because all the artists left after gens. japanese lost world is "in character" but it doesnt really fix the nothingburger 0 subtlety story, bpd tails is still there, the stages still look like NSMB with a fisherprice aesthetic, it is still comedy focused the jokes are just different and sonic doesnt have the "roger voice" that makes everything he says sound weird. they tried to do a serious story for forces but there is just no writing talent at sonic team anymore.

This is adaptation, not localization. Localization is effectively just translation, or more accurately, translating product. If you produced a direct translation, that is also a straightforward localization. The problem in recent years is that this has become more of a buzzword and you have people trying to make them divorced concepts or redefining words. Like, say, Ian Flynn, who is not a translator, claiming he "localized" text, which he uses as an excuse for his wikidroppings, rewrites, and song lyrics...

I do wish there were a little more lore with New Yolk in general. Like it showed Rouge and Knuckles when the Chaos Council first took over, and they didn't look significantly different. How long did that city take to construct? Was Amy regular happy Amy? Why'd they pick her for their pet cyborg? Or maybe she was their cyborg before the city even started construction - following Sonic CD ideas, maybe she ran off to find her true love, but Sonic did not exist, leaving her captured by the Council instead.

I like to imagine this is what happened. She was forcibly merged with robotic machinery and somehow stripped of her kindness, empathy, and love for Sonic to be a ruthless killing machine. Just imagine how sad and horrifying it would've been for her to not have been stripped of her kindness, empathy, and love for Sonic and then she wakes up after the cyborg-ization procedure was done. She realizes that her right eye has removed and that her body is nearly completely encased by metal. This fills her with existential dread

The lore team already got exposed for erasing Amy's love for Sonic from her SOA bio and Chris got further exposed for saying that he would update her bio but never actually having done it. The next game is likely going to get released in 2027, Movie 4 is going to come out that year, and Year of Amy is going to be based on romantic love. You think this will successfully deter the lore team from further meddling with Amy's character?

This is what the Chaos Council would do to her if they were sadists. Horrifying. Forget Amy getting herr arms and legs cut off and replaced with metal ones while awake. Imagine her right eye being gouged out while she was wake.
Even if Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles somehow found a way to reverse her cyborg-ization, I don't think Amy would want to live the rest of her life with prosthetic arms and legs and a missing eye. She would feel like Alex Murphy from the 2014 Robocop movie. "Just unplug whatever it is keepin' me alive and end this nightmare"

I think that if SoA doesn't compromise on working with SoJ, and certain key people are changed or removed from their positions, things won't change. Even when the movie is released and Amy and Sonic start a relationship in the movie, things won't change, they will just play the long game and keep pushing their own agenda, but more slowly, with the excuse that the movie and the games are two different things. That's how I see things.

Rusty doesn't seem particularly upset with herself, and never displays distress at her body. She frees her flicky, but seems perfectly happy to utilize her body in the fight.
Of course, it is a show made for children, so they were never going to explore a potential existential crisis, especially not in the final episode when they're trying to end on a happy note.

I personally don't mind Shadow losing.

/sthg/ is Twitter and Reddit for people too gutless to attach a real name to the garbage they post. You probably keep Bluesky tabs open like a junkie, refreshing for validation from people even more broken and theatrical than you. Half of you will see someone discussing how Japanese writers handle theme or character on a site dedicated to anime and manga, owned by a Japanese person, and immediately start seizing. The fact that you cannot grasp the basic emotional and thematic machinery of a franchise aimed at twelve-year-olds is not Sonic Team’s failure. It is yours.
You're an autistic, chronically online retard who treats every story like a checklist of memeable one-liners and goonable moments, then you throw a tantrum when the writing refuses to bend over and service your brainrot. Deeper themes especially short-circuit you because you are so shallow you cannot relate to the emotional range of a mentally healthy literate adult. 'Durr why Shadow care about dead person?" Your feelings for anything evaporate the moment it leaves your immediate line of sight, like a goldfish or a particularly stupid dog. You are an animal.

You keep begging for another SA2-tier plot while the original went clean over your head the first time. Nobody with a functioning frontal lobe should waste real effort crafting a coherent story for you, because you are constitutionally incapable of appreciating anything past the surface layer. You are too lazy and too retarded. You skim the cutscenes, meme the memes, invent an entirely different narrative in your head, then declare the official one "shit" and accuse the writers of misunderstanding their own work. Just shut your brain off permanently. Never think about anything for more than a few seconds. The mere existence of people who can actually read and feel is an insult to you, because it forces you to confront the fact that you are inferior to the literate.
