Should Lanolin get her own mini-series?

Only if the writers toss the feminism aside and actually give her character flaws. That and make her a flirty cunt in order to cope with her shitty upbringing. Also, giving her a nice curve and a pair of titties to oogle at wouldn't hurt either.

>>149324777 (OP)
she should get fisted

>>149324830
>Also, giving her a nice curve and a pair of titties to oogle at wouldn't hurt either
She already has those, courtesy of Adam Bryce Thomas.

>>149324830
>actually give her character flaws
She already has those and that's why she's the most hated character ever.

>>149324994
Eh, still kinda modest I'd say.

>>149325025
I'd say she's more hated because she gets away with a lot of shit and hardly gets punished if at all. If she's going to act like a cunt, then why not just make her a villainess like Lien-Da or that Fox chick in the old Archie comics?

Make this a hot, hated bitch. Make the fans love her and hate at the same time, ya feel me? Get the dudes into it.

>>149325025
I have to agree. It's not her that's the problem, but the Restoration. Her character sits in its orbit and contributes to nothing but it; yet it has yet to serve any of the themes of the series. Its inclusion has been a black hole that devours everything the writers manage to scrounge up from the conceptual bedrock.

>>149325246
basically the writers have no fuckin' clue what to do with Lanolin.

I guess I just like me some bitchy chicks once in a while, but Surge is a good choice too. Although, I dunno would I rather be nagged to death by a moody sheep who needs to badly get laid or tasered by a cyborg with mindbreak syndrome?

Tough call.

Yes. I really want more of the sheep.

If there was a mini series involved Lanolin and her crew I would probably read it, but for me its mostly for Tangle. I feel like Tangle is a more fun character to site through.

>>149324777 (OP)
Let's be honest, nobody in IDW deserves their own miniseries.
All the good characters are dead, and noone deserves a Sonic Universe style spinoff, all the IDW characters suck.

Tough choice.

>>149325884
Well after complaining for hours, Lanolin would probably be one of those chicks that apologise with excessive physical affection. So, endless cuddle session while listening to really cringe-worthy tiktok videos. So typical modern woman behavior.

>>149324777 (OP)
>Lanolin
And here I thought you were talking about US Acres

Lanolin getting hated for getting tricked by Mimic is so unfair. She even apologized. What, you want every character to be flawless and never make mistakes?

>>149325112
>I'd say she's more hated because she gets away with a lot of shit and hardly gets punished if at all
You just described Sonic. Metal Virus is all his fault because he let Metal Sonic go after he tried to kill everyone. Metal goes right to Eggman and helps him immediately regain his memories. Then Sonic gets mad at Metal Sonic like it was some unforeseen betrayal. Shadow wanted to kill Eggman when he had amnesia but Sonic stopped him. They didn't even take him to jail or to the Restoration or any place near so they could keep an eye on him and swiftly respond at the first sign of trouble. They just left him in a remote village for him to get kidnapped. Surge wanted to kill Starline and Eggman and Sonic fought her because he didn't want her to kill them. He doesn't even try to form an alliance. He tells her no and then they fight. Sonic takes on the hilariously low stakes villain Clutch with the aid of Eggman of all people who then kidnaps Clutch and is now putting him to work. IDW is nothing but Sonic making things worse and escaping blame. Even worse is that anyone that gets on his case is then shit on by everyone.

>>149325998
long winded apologies aren't exactly an entertaining or deeply moving conclusion to what was essentially Lanolin taking the side of a murdering bastard, even if it may have been accidental. It was extremely boring at best and people are quite frankly sick of women in media getting a slap on the wrist for doing wrong.

>>149324777 (OP)
The losers on /co/ can write a better Sonic series (which would probably be as boring as Sonic Prime) , but I've seen comic books written by /co/fags and while they're mediocre their execution is a million times better due to not talking and appealing to the mentally handicapped and not mistreating 5 year olds.
Sonic's writers don't have children and aren't intellectuals, not even honest people.

>>149326019
Yeah, Sonic should've been punished too in one form or another for his idealistic naivety. I'm not excusing Sonic for anything. However, I can understand the hesitation due to sega being overly protective of how Sonic himself is portrayed. Lanolin on the other hand, not being a mainstay character, should have much more freedom, in terms of the writer coming up with an interesting scenario, where character development from drama could form and evolve, but the writers don't capitalise on it. A lot of readers are sick of Ian and Evan making excuses for their lackluster conclusions and bare boned story lines.

Lack of consequences, drama, interactions, it pales in comparison to the Archie run. IDW is frustratingly boring. Now you can say it's sega being cunts, or ideological limitations, but the writer's job is to find a way to write around these limitations to still manage to make an interesting enough story to attract readers and to maintain the current fan base. However, Ian and Evan don't seem to be capable of having the talent to do that.

>>149326105
During the "satanic panic" of the 80s and 90s, comics and movies and show and other media were also creatively oppressed by moral busybodies, but somehow, we still got a lot of decent entertainment that seem to still hold today. A lot of young people flock to the old games and films of past decades. So I hate shitting on people's work, but many creatives today in major media companies lack natural talent or even learned experience and if they do, it's severely handicapped by extreme political bias.

People aren't buying Western comics for a reason and IDW is apart of the problem.

Despite my criticisms though, I still love the bitchy sheep's design and the potential she has. I like fictional bad girls.

>>149326105
IDW can write some great stories for TMNT, but when it comes to Sonic, they are severely hampered on having such a small creative circle to stay in they aren't allowed to step outside of. And when its 90% of the cast who aren't allowed to deviate from the games, it makes it sabotaged from the start.

>>149326249
I'm they're allowed to deviate from the games to a reasonable degree, they already have, but they keep a few of the themes in place to stay within sega's standards, I'm sure they could bend the rules even further if they wanted to. They likely just don't have any ideas on how to do it.

>>149324777 (OP)
Why? To see how worse she can screw up?

>>149326267
I've talked to a member of the IDW staff, and he said often Sega will delay the shit out of the comics due to everything being nit picked to shit, and the language barrier being a problem. That it goes through their japanese merchandising branch.

>>149324830
>her shitty upbringing
What? Was that something that happened? She already has flaws, its being an idiot and unfit to lead a squad of soldiers.

>>149326310
Amy was originally the leader, but the readers bitched she wasn't leader material. Now Lanolin isn't good enough? What, you want everything to just be like Sonic Heroes every issue?

>>149326310
It's implied in some official art that Lanolin's mom and her dad had something happen, which would help explain Lanolin's disposition, but it's never mentioned in the comic from what I saw.

>>149326328
Ditch the whole fucking thing. We don't need the Restoration. This concept was shit even back in Archie.

>>149326286
Let's say I take your word for it, why even bother to even work in such a climate if it's that claustrophobic? These people must love the pain of being red-taped to death. No reasonable person would want bother producing this stuff if sega is as tyrannical as you say.

>>149326356
Most of the staff working on Sonic are fans who grew up with Archie.

>>149326019
>hilariously low stakes villain Clutch
Even more than Surge and Kit, even more than Belle or Starline, this is what I consider the nadir of IDW comics wasted potential.

>>149326360
I have a hard time believing that with how disrespectful they were when they ended the Archie series.

>>149326356
Many who also work on IDW are aiming for higher jobs in Marvel and DC.

>>149326396
It's a competition to see who can stuff the most corporate dick in them then. Maybe sega should sell off this IP to people who actually give a shit about. Assuming what you're saying is accurate.

>>149326409
You might get what you want. IDW has been struggling for years, and Udon has offered to take on Sonic.

>>149326412
Well damn, if sega isn't willing to expand the brand to guys again, which were the majority who bought this stuff back then. Might as well do that or just shelve the IP until less cowardly CEOs come in.

>>149326286
>IDW staff
>Udon
>Archie
Doesn't matter who's "in charge" if they keep hiring the same mentally retarded writers instead of blacklisting them from the IP.
>>149326286
The writers have nothing to do with that the writers suck regardless of what they do. However Sega are a bunch of cunts who act like a bipolar lazy boss who says "just make it good... NO not like that. I want this comic to feature Amy, Cream maybe their robot too instead of only Rouge, Omega and ... do not use Shadow as a main character .. you can use him as a secondary character ... what is this jobbing you speak? I don't care how hard he jobs just don't make him cry. Sonic & Shadow aren't allowed to cry, no I don't understand wtf jobbing is, just shut up and write it. These fucking nerds and their americanisms. Of course Shadow loses, he's a villain, but cool villains aren't allowed to cry, but they are allowed to lose. IF I READ THE COMIC? BITCH DO I LOOK LIKE I'M 12? I don't care if it's my IP, I'm on the economic side. I'm not a manchild. Do I look like I play Pokegayman? Put a chicken in it and make it gay just sell those comics to those dirty ameritards who don't know what's good. We're not selling it to Japs who have different expectations"

>>149325112
Girls aren’t allowed to be evil in IDWnic. Just look at how fast they redeemed Surge.

>>149327196
She was never really evil. She was kidnapped, brainwashed, angry at the person that did that to her, and was a nuisance at worst. Even almost killing Sonic isn't that different from half the people that are now Sonic's friends. Surge was a shitty villain. Her only appeal was in how bad she was at being a villain. Then she gets the taste of the hero life and got that dopamine hit from being cheered on. And she still gets to harass Sonic.

>>149325461
>I feel like Tangle is a more fun character to site through.

Isn't this bullshit since IDW delays their other comics too?

>>149327411
Comics from all publishers get delayed. That Shadow special is going to come out a year after it was supposed to. I wonder why.

>>149327423

Sega is extra anal with Shadow.

She should be bullied.

>>149327578
Heh, anal.

>>149327808
Why would someone pour corn syrup all over her?

>>149327808
She should bully me (segsually)

This character is so unimportant, she was essentially just a vehicle to make Mimic's schemes possible, and now they are done with him so she's just a leftover. There was no reason to promote her like a major character.
It's okay to have minor characters in some roles.

>>149328499
They needed a Sally.

>>149324777 (OP)
How many Sonic characters get side stories?

>>149328572
They didn't get one. Silver is the only main game cast member who even cares she exists.
Knuckles literally had a "who?" reaction to Any mentioning her.

I forgot, what emotion that sonic himself legally can’t show is she used for?

>>149328786
I thought it was loneliness for a minute when they went out of their way to show her confiding with Mimic's false persona because no one else liked being around her. But now I'm not sure that was intentional.

There's no way Lanolin wasnt an Archie port with the way she's introduced and characterized before the mandates leashed her potential, not to mention ABT's illustrations. She would have been a new antihero post-Archie metal virus if that had happened.

I understand the Mimic confusion, but I still don't understand the purpose behind having her accidentally destroy a building when trying to apprehend a masked Sonic. They even showed her react like she knows she fucked up. But what was this supposed to tell us about her character?
The Mimic situation could be a matter of trust, needing to get to know her comrades better, learning everyone's expertise etc...
But destroying the building just made her seem extremely incompetent, in a way experience can't fix.

Everyone who hasn't read the IDW comics wouldn't give a shit about these characters and they would be right

Lanolin can also be seen as Tangle and Whisper in one box, which is both disappointing (can't we just have breakout girls 1 and 2 get stories?) and infuriating (twice the potential and half the screen time).

>>149325822
so... The creator just wanted to remake USAcres!Lanolin as a sonic character in some way? Both girls are pretty much the same.

>Same name Sheep
>No nonsense bitches
>Considered the antagonists sometimes.

Its way too much of a coincidence.

>>149332134
Also any reason for him to ship her with Shadow?

>>149332202
Considering Shadow in the games keeps looking at Rouge's breasts, I can see him at least thinking about doing that.

>>149332440

No, the creator wanted another Sally Acorn.

>>149327808
I agree

>>149332440
Neither creator had any vision of what Lanolin’s role in the story was supposed to be. It seems like she’s going to be a girlboss at first but nearly every decision she makes ends up being the wrong one. She never actually gets any real focus, she’s always overshadowed by some other event the writers deemed more important like Tangle hurting Whispers feefees. Her biggest role was holding the idiot ball for Mimic so Evan can pretend he’s a master manipulator. Now she’s shuffled back into the background where she will continue to get zero focus.

>>149332202
>I'm the coolest

Sonic fandom is odd. They're jumping the gun constantly and it leaves them with selective memory. That contributes into Lanolin hate, and just a lot of general opinions in the fandom.

>>149329875
She wasn't, but she was another misguided attempt to introduce a "Sally" character. Mimic was the character was concepted to be in Archie, I believe.

>>149333291
A large part of the Sonic fanbase hates anything not made by Sega of Japan. Anything that isn't made exclusively with Japanese hands is horrible and not canon and probably Ian's fault. They'll go on social media and complain about something, usually wrong, and others will argue with them and all of this will get thousands of views and retweets and that's why the majority of online discourse is bitching over minor details and differences of opinion.

>>149324777 (OP)
like a lewd doujinshi? Sounds great.

I want more Sonic stories that feel like the red shirt shaggy saga where they were more willing to stick with a really limited cast to try out new ideas.

Most of the cast does kind of force a story to feel a certain way, Knuckles, Shadow, even Eggman, so narrowing it down to just Sonic, Tails, and Amy (if you must you can include the remaining members of Team Rose if you want anyone else to show up) gives you a huge amount of narrative potential to just do what you want.

We got something of that with the storybook titles and possibly Blade of Courage as well.

As much as it was hated I loved the Red Shirt Shaggy era of Scooby Doo for how bizarre it was and I want to see something like that for Sonic.

>>149333417
just read the manga bro

>>149324777 (OP)
Yes, her biggest issue is not having enough time showcasing her character and thought process. Most of her current panel time is really doubling as Tangle panel time and it shows. Just look at the Phantom Rider arc, we get ten trillion moments to look into Tangle's thoughts and we only really see Lanolin's at the very end. Which is why the ending doesn't have Tangle reflect at all either, the audience already knows her pov so her actions are understandable while Lanolin's don't appear that way.

Who has the pic of her just woken up, at her kitchen table, with an ash tray full of cigarette butts and a late rent notice?

Now who said anything about sympathy? More like pathetic as a villain. Surge was never a good villain. Her only good motivation was that Starline wanted her to be bad. When she broke off from him she lost all purpose in being a villain. After that she was a joke. She's too popular to be another boring villain you see once every few years so of course they're going to make her a hero and have her join the OC cast.

Wherever the writers want it to be, it's not very hard to make happen with a little imagination. If you're worried about it revolving around a boring construction project or the restoration, don't, Jewel is right there as the most kidnappable character of all time. If it were to revolve around said project instead of anything more interesting that'd be entirely the writer's fault.
>Where the fuck is Sonic?
Sonic wouldn't need to be there for a side issue but it's not like it'd be impossible to include him either, just give him something to do.

>>149331182
They adapt Sonic Frontiers.

>>149331182
Through some events that make it somehow less insane Whisper will shoot Lanolin. She's a wolf and she's a sheep, it is inevitable. This will lead to new trauma, and the ending is Tangle curing it with the power of lesbian/friendship.

>>149331182
Sonic runs off to another adventure. All the game characters follow him. The OCs stay behind and act like they'll see him again or that they'll ever appear again.

Speaking of Cream and Lanolin, I'd like to see them interact at some point. Lanolin's no-nonsense attitude coupled with Cream's bubbly and optimistic everything could make for a fun team. It'd be like with Tangle but featuring less Whisper-fueled drama and more reason for Lanolin to be lenient on her partner's naive outlook.

He'd be the complete opposite. Bro's autistic as fuck when it comes to affection. He didn't even hug Maria. MARIA. He also wouldn't give a single fuck about anything that comes out of your mouth if it ain't relevant to his mission.

>>149334046
To be fair, every single character feels like they were a failed opportunity. Good OC designs, very bad execution. These writers aren't fit for their job at all. Likely because they don't know how to write feminine characters and refuse to write masculine characters. Ian and Evan literally believe men and women are the same and that totally makes the cast bland as FUCK.

Jewel is a gem (ha) and she should have been an archeologist. Hell, if Sega wasn't so anal about anything past Forces being allowed, I could easily see her being a main character in a Frontiers adaptation.

>>149335726
Frontiers is a narrative ball of wax that I can't see going well in comic form.

Sonic comics should be written like Jojo's Stardust Crusaders (Minus all the death, of course)
I don't even know what else to say, that's basically it. If you're based, you'll get it instantly. The perfect combination between shounen and rubberhose cartoons, kind of like Kingdom Hearts. Episodic with monster-of-the-week battles that last around 4 issues (much like in Sonic Universe), and they have to be actual threats, not the gay octopus who has a knife he can't even use, Sonic needs to get all beat up and actually fear for his life. All while following a general arc with a final villain. That's it. They also go to actually interesting places and not "Random ass village in the middle of fucking nowhere (What do they eat?)"

I heard somewhere they are averse to doing story arcs due to drop off of interest. Many complained the metal virus was too long.

>>149336070
>Many complained the metal virus was too long.
Not only did it fail to justify lasting as long as it did but it was made even longer by bringing in the Deadly Six of all things.

>>149333348
>is horrible and not canon and probably Ian's fault
Well, the last one is kind of true...

How about a Tomb Raider style story of Lanolin uncovering a race of Dark Gaia mutants underground, and has to fight them off.

>>149334060
That's the one. Wouldn't be suprised if she's slipping a different kind of creamer in that coffee

Swimsuit Special when?

>>149336195

beep beep

She needs to have more sexy outfits.

>>149336070
They stopped doing story arcs because the comic could be cancelled at any moment and the storyline would be left on a cliffhanger forever.

>>149336195
When Ian drops the lesbian fetish and the pretend-feminist act and sega stops hating their male costumers.

>>149336102
I don't think that was a bad call, seeing Starline undone by his own metaknowledge and lack of real experience was fun.

(yeahyeah, AI slop but I still liked how it turned out.)

Goth Lanolin is too rare.

>>149336341
>I don't think that was a bad call
Forcing the Deadly Six into an already bloated and strung out story was a bad call.

Only if she is enslaved by Eggman.

>>149336398
That's the thing though, I can't think of a better way to conclude that arc. It was kind of a static fact for most of it happening, so how do you set up an ending for it?

>>149336498
>>149336385
>mobians.ai
gen locally or stop, these are awful.

>>149336477
First off I don't give a fuck about Starline's role in the story. He's a lackey. Just have Tails come up with a way to reverse things and Sonic is about to set it off and Eggman comes crashing in with some final boss type robot. Sonic beats it, maybe something extra happens and its a race against time to stop the zombie horde. Or maybe Eggman realizes he fucked up without the need for the Deadly Six and he begrudgingly works with Sonic to save the day. It's not supposed to be deep. It's a zombie story and once it gets long enough it's time to pack it up and end the arc.

>>149336520
It can pop out some good stuff now and then, these turned out pretty well I'd say.

>>149336385
>>149336498
Mobians.ai has come a long way from not that long ago where I only saw fucked up looking monstrosities that made even early AI look good.

>>149336195
Probably will happen one day, albeit Lanolin likely wouldn't be there. The other girls just don't ever invite her out, makes sense the first time for the fire camp thing because she wasn't major yet but she wasn't invited to the summer beach party either. If we ever get one you'll get a flashcut to the new Emeraldville base with her doing all of Jewel's paperwork before we jump back to the girls having the time of their life.

>>149336553
Agreed. I stuck around with MAI for a long time and good lord, their models have jumped in quality. Maybe not SonicDiffusion and fluffysonic, but with enough elbow grease I can get some good gens.

Those two still need some work, but the quality has indeed improved, I'll give these guys credit.

>>149336539
I can thread this needle. He hooks up the Warp Topaz to the faceship and starts mass-scattering them, but it backfires and explodes the virus still in production. He gets turned and left behind while eggy escapes with the Topaz and Metal.

All the same narrative beats, shorter endgame, and sets up the Topaz being able to counter the metal virus at the last minute.

Where is the pregnant art

>>149334046
I love how because it was disguised as a cane he got away with just strait up having a gun. Not a laser or wisp blast, just a bullet, and an apparently powerful one.

>>149336341
The only reason the plan didn't work was because Ian retconned the Zeti's inherent fear of the conch.

Even faggot /co/ could write a better comic as long as you put masculine people in charge and not soiboy retards and simps and especially not filthy rednecks who never saw a city in their life.

Yeah I think a basic premise like Tails changing forms as he eats more emeralds and challenges various characters to races throughout Sonic 2 the video game's locations would be great.

>>149334046
Part of Sega's instructions. No villain is allowed to rival Eggman. Hence why Naugus got nerfed hard in Archie to keep him from being able to be a threat.

>>149336911

>>149330086
>bonus video?

>>149336932
>Where is this one
The retcons to Surge and Kit's creation. Ian was setting it up that Starline made clones of Sonic and Tails but Ian was told by Sega that Starline can't do something that'd make him better than Eggman so it was changed to Starline abducting kids, brainwashing them, and installing a carapace along with the Metal Virus into their bodies. So Sega is fine with all of that because it was tech taken from Eggman.

>>149337206
>it was changed to Starline abducting kids, brainwashing them
Honestly? That's way more interesting than just regular old clones.

>>149336984
Probably not, they've had comics since forever. More likely they'd just have both going on at the same time.

If I had a nickel for every time I wanted to fuck a bitchy sheep named Lanolin I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice.

>>149337244

Why would Sega cater to their smallest market? These fuckers don't want their manga translated by other people and they just now say they're having them officially translated. And I bet it's going to take a year before any of that happens.

Did >>149338743 hit the mark there, Lanolin? You sound like you took that personally.

I suspect he's never read any of the comics at all.

>>149331182
They finally allowed to move to Frontiers?
Eggman finally gets arrested for his monstrous crimes?
Starline comes back and he's no longer an egg simp?
We see other humans from SA1,SA2, and Unleashed?

>>149331182
It'll end abruptly in the middle of a story arc.

>>149331182
It's going to end rather abruptly with no real send off, if there is one, it'll be extremely generic and half-assed like Archie seeing that's how Ian ended it.

Do you all think her wool's as waxy and slimy as real sheep with heavy amounts of lanolin in their fleece?

>>149336329
And yet here we are, over 70 goddamn issues in going on 80, with nothing to fucking show for it. The whole conceit of using your supposed borrowed time paralyzed, doing nothing like a deer in headlights, is so antithetical to Sonic as a franchise it's baffling.

They should be treating every issue like it could be their last by making every issue fucking count. They should go wild and crazy with it, make each issue a compressed adventure in itself if they were that worried about it.

Instead we're stuck with a bunch of useless plot threads that are guaranteed to never be fully resolved. All because these writers are cowards that fundamentally do not understand Sonic.

>>149336385
>>149336498
Kill yourself.

>>149324777 (OP)
OK hear me out, what if this Sonic The Hedgehog comic staring Sonic The Hedgehog from Sonic The Hedgehog had a spin off mini-series heavily featuring Actual Sonic The Hedgehog characters from the Sonic The Hedgehog series instead?

>>149336477
I can't think of a worse way to conclude the arc than going "wait a minute Super Sonic can fix everything in literally half a second, why didn't we do this earlier?"

>>149324777 (OP)
I think they should reveal that she's a sleeper agent that serves someone else

They should canonize her being autistic as it perfectly explains her behavior and guilttrips the fandom at the same time. You could then pretend it was planned from the start and that this was their gigabased way of representing autists realistically. No, the representation won't be some quirky socialite with reddit humor, gets support from friends and has an extreme talent for something. You get the reality instead, it's a bitchy person with poor social skills, widely disliked in-universe, her mother hates her, painfully below average at everything she attempts and is perennially unhappy.

Guess who's now a certified videogame character

>>149340702

You guys don't know bad until you read IDW's MLP. It's just as offensibly bad when Faust left, but the people IDW allowed to work on the dumb horse comics , the "writers" and their "artists" are The Room levels of bad. Especially the artists. Sonic has good art compared to it.

>>149336911
So Ian & the rest are just incompetent idiots who don't know how to monkey paw the easiest gullible race in existence.
>No villain is allowed to rival Eggman.
A clone of Eggman rivals Eggman ;)

A villain doesn't rival Eggman, the villain completely washes the fucking floor with Eggman.
A villain forces Eggman to work for them to not rival him, but Eggman is given a janitor job.
Eggman gets absorbed by the new villain so technically the new villain is Eggman ;)
I'd use the last one and give the villain the nickname Cell just to fuck with Sega.

>>149341202
Sounds like you're trying to pull a Penders and create your own Robotnik. Also the rule only applies to OCs. That's how the Deadly Six were able to kick out Eggman and take over things during Metal Virus. And Sega doesn't even like their Eggman copies. Eggman Nega can never be used or even referenced. He's only allowed in the Olympic games.

>>149332837
Damn... I really don't understand why she's promoted like she's equal to Tangle and Whisper.

>>149333926
I was gonna mention Knuckles already being the third member, but I don’t even think SEGA considers him the third member anymore
>what about the movies
The games aren’t the movies

>>149341245
>Also the rule only applies to OCs. That's how the Deadly Six were able to kick out Eggman
What a bunch of hypocrites. Deadly Six might as well just be OCs straight out of Super Mario.

>>149337374
Holy shit, she really is the same character.

>>149341281
Knuckles needs to have a good reason to leave the island. He can't be gone for too long. That's why Metal Sonic taking over Angel Island at the start of the IDW series forced Knuckles to go back and stay there.

The SEGA restrictions are good. Western artists tend to grind characters for short gains and so constantly reboot and create parallel universes to fix what they broke.

>ACHKK SHADOW don't job to Starline in disguise!
How is he not fired yet for his blunders? Instead he's hired to write for Frontiers' dialogue? Sega are goddamn cucks since Penders and since Gearbox.

>>149341293
Remember the good ol' times when Knuckles just went adventuring, air gearing, etc... with Sonic and company, and we laughed about what a bad guardian he was?

I miss those times...

>>149341741
I genuinely don't get how he's able to openly shit in one of the most popular characters when he simultaneously complains mandates are protecting the character.

>>149341741
>>149341754
>How is he not fired yet for his blunders?
Because the nice xitter, reddit and tumblr communities rally behind him and protect him like a sacred cow from "evil unfair criticism".
And they are so vocal, they actually made Sega think he could pull the game writer dialogue gig.

>>149341741
>>149341754
Shadow is protected in that he has to act a certain. Being arrogant and getting his shit pushed in for is part of the mandate. That's why Ian doesn't write him that much. He can't have Shadow be happy and have friends. He's supposed to be a loner that only cares about fighting strong people.

>>149341779
>He can't have Shadow be happy and have friends.
Like Vegeta.
>He's supposed to be a loner that only cares about fighting strong people.
Lime Vegeta.

>>149341779
>He's supposed to be a loner that only cares about fighting strong people.
He's a loner but he doesn't care about fighting strong people. He cares about filfilling Maria's wish on protecting the planet and its people. But unlike the traditional hero, he does it in an ends justify the means type of deal because he's the typical anti-hero. He doesn't care about rules and regulations, because he'll just brute force through anything because he could. He's like Sonic in that regard, but darker.

>>149341819
And he does that by fighting strong people and usually by himself. If he's ever with Rouge and Omega that's because it's part of an assignment.

>>149341720
>Even the movies did horribly over there. They really don't give a fuck about Sonic
Neither does the rest of the world. Mario and Stitch made an easy billion in a week with $100 million budgets. Mario made that billion BEFORE it got to Japan and S Korea. Sonic's a nobody in the grand scheme of things. He has very little appeal.

>>149341851
Let's not pretend this is suddenly an IP without tempered expectations. Sega has understood for a while that Sonic is a character who fills a specific niche. It's why these comics can continue to even exist.

>>149341846
>And he does that by fighting strong people and usually by himself.
Sure, but it's all for Maria. Dude's like The Crow. https://youtu.be/inUCmh3LY9Y?si=OzNU4Iajsl1fDadh

>>149341879
>It's why these comics can continue to even exist.
They exist because IDW's paying them for the license. Same deal as Archie. Archie didn't lose the license, but instead chose to not renew it to focus on Riverdale.

>>149341299
>American artists tend to grind characters for short gains and so constantly reboot and create parallel universes to fix what they broke.
Fixed

>>149341851
Sonic has the same appeal/popularity as Megaman & Astroboy which is next to zero. Megaman's last animated show isn't even talked about on /co/.

>>149341851
Don't start with that bullshit. The Sonic movies did well critically and commercially. Just because it didn't make a billion dollars doesn't mean it's a failure. It's night and day with Japan. I wonder if the third movie managed to crack a million over there.
>During its opening weekend in Japan, spanning three days, the movie achieved remarkable milestones:
>¥69 million (~$470,000) in box office revenue.
>By January 5, 2025, the film’s cumulative success had skyrocketed:

Meanwhile
>Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premiered in North America a week earlier on December 20, 2024, strategically timed for the Christmas season. Over its opening weekend (December 20–22), the film grossed an astounding $62 million (~¥9.73 billion), solidifying its position as the #1 film at the box office.

>>149341919
>They exist because IDW's paying them for the license.
And Sega wouldn't even be selling if they didn't know exactly what niche Sonic fills for American fans.

Why do fanboys forget you can make money without aiming the be number 1? That's literally how most IPs survive.

>>149342013
>The Sonic movies did well critically and commercially
Not as well as Mario and Stitch. Critics are pretentious snobs and don't see eye to eye with the audience and their tastes. That's why audience scores are what's important. Not tomatoes.
>It's night and day with Japan
It's not just Japan, bro. It's the world.

>>149341741
Ian’s dick riders on twitter and youtube give the games free exposure when he’s on them. Sega is currently pandering very hard to influencers and v-tubers. Firing him would cause too much pr backlash to be worth it.

>>149342013
>>149342063
It’s worth noting almost all of sonic 3’s revenue came from america and latin america and australia. Europe and Asia Pacific did not want to see it at all

Critically nowadays is more nuanced. Some fandoms will absolutely dogpile a movie with positive reviews just because it’s part of their cult fandom to call it “peak” even if it was shit. In cases like that movie critics are a lot less biased. In Sonic 3’s case critics were more fair and pointed out things like its weak story, constant mcu quips and how Tails didn’t do anything.

>>149342214
>Tails didn’t do anything.
Tailscel…..

>>149342230
Mind pointing out what he did contribute then?
The entire story is so weak that the third act is just sonic saying he’ll use the chaos emeralds he had the whole time and solo the conflict. Tails is only there for useless comic relief with the token gay indian. Knuckles is only there to save them last minute in the fall, which is also weak but he at least contributes anything.

>>149342247
Don’t bother. Sonicfags who self insert as the character just have a seething hateboner for tails.
If you criticise the story if any way they’ll start blubbering “oh you must be a tails fan then that’s the only reason you say bad things about muh sonic”

>>149342271
Sounds like a symptom of “chronically online-itis”

>>149342247
He’s there to look cute and sell merchandise. That’s literally been his role since his inception. Only braindead pedophilic self-inserters like you think he should have some grand role in the story.

No

>>149342493
My point is critism doesnt matter if Nintendo/TPC/GF sees people voting with their wallet. Specially since Scarlet and Violet is essentially the end point of the Wild Area from Sword and Shield, which also sold well. They certainly think they are doing good by their audience.

>>149342421
I just don't care about Tails, I don't hate him. So when he didn't contribute much in the third movie I honestly didn't notice. This is a passive reaction, not an active agenda.

>>149342526
criticism takes its payment in future installments.

Flynn working on the series at all is a result of Sonicfans criticizing Pontac and Graff’s writing.

>>149342538

It did not in this specific situation. GF literally doubled down on the Wild Area which was considered the least polished portion of Sword and Shield. And then they were awarded for it.

They always need a scapegoat to avoid having to take criticism or improve. That scapegoat is usually Tails cause he has the most to complain about, throw Tailsfags under the bus and you can pretend they’re all perfect. Also cause he isn’t one of the edgy tryhard hedgehogs the furfags imagine themselves to be

Those are fine because they have some merit from Sonic X and their age bracket.

This post makes no fucking sense in context of this thread. This whole thread was us criticizing IDW Sonic and talking about things that could be improved until you showed up, and Tails wasn't even a topic of scrutiny.

Tails and Cream aren’t even a thing in Sonic X or anywhere. They have the least “merit”

You’re just an absolute loser who literally gets triggered at Tails x hot girls because he’s not the boring bland male you self insert as.

“Nooo if you post Tails x Rouge or Vanilla you’re shitting up the thread because I want my self insert to fuck them” how about you just get off the computer and touch some grass instead you fat fuck

Yes? I don't like how out of focus Sonic is as character in IDW either, but I also don't like how, even with the OCs front and center, they haven't been interesting beyond "some of them MIGHT be gay".

This. Imagine being the type of social media brainwashed brainlet who has to look up a character’s age on a fanwiki before liking them. Then coming into 4chan and expecting us to abide by your rules of what makes you triggered. If this is you then seriously go back to twitter

Speaking of Tails, his part of the last arc was completely pointless, wasn't it? Did anyone actually enjoy his and Amy's stealth segment? Imagine if they didn't hog up so much panel time that could have been dedicated to Sonic's Phantom Rider stunt instead.
>B-but Lanolin has too much too
Wrong, she got shockingly little focus in that arc despite the Duo subplot and was part of a conflict with Sonic. She takes zero time away from him in that arc by actually doing stuff with him, Tails however steals time. What was even the point of the Tails stuff, to expose the obvious manipulator as manipulating in the shadows without actually doing anything? Why on earth was that a bigger priority to show us than Sonic doing Phantom Rider stuff, which was actually fun?
>>149342591
The closest thing to an interaction is when she's disqualifying Sonic from the race, Tails is behind him. But yeah they haven't really interacted at all, to the point where I'm not even sure if they know each other's names.

>>149344279
Amy and Tails barely feel like two characters when they are expected to play off each other. They function as one autonomous unit and it's extremely boring.

>>149343357
Bro, quit playing the victim when people call you out for acting like a spaz. They're not the problem, you are.

>Eggman Nega can never be used or even referenced
He absolutely can, Nega not being used is explicitly on Ian because he personally does not like him. Like, he's flat out admitted to using any sort of influence he has to keep Nega from being used.

And Frontiers is one of the best selling Sonic games. Using sales is a poor argument when Sonicfags are notoriously guilty of supporting outright slop.

Sonic 06 was a best seller and has people rabidly defending it to this day ffs.

>>149343353
Shadow, Tails, and Amy are all naturally designed to have shit fans.

>Amy
Deranged shippers and waifufags.

>Shadow and Tails
Autists love to see themselves as badass edgelords or cute little innocents, so the most autistic fans latch onto these two. Hence why you have people outraged that Sonic is the main character of his own franchise and not Tails or Shadow.

>>149341293
No the fuck he doesn't! That's literally a restriction Ian placed onto the series, and it's utterly pointless when it was never an issue until he made it one.

>>149344279
The whole Riders arc was fundamentally broken top to bottom, because the race itself was never anything more than window dressing.

>>149345093

>That's literally a restriction Ian placed onto the series

No, that sounds dumb enough to come from Sega.

>>149345251
Then why was this never something the series had until Ian came onboard, shortbus? You fucking retards love to blame Sega as a whole for Ian's shortcomings, no matter how much evidence showing that most of the "mandates" were made up bullshit, whether by fans or by Ian himself. It's easier for you to blame some faceless entity than to admit that you rooted for a perpetual fuckup to take the reigns of the entire franchise.

>>149345251
Sega doesn't even pretend to give a shit about the master emerald whenever it's not important to the story and never has

>>149345349

Well no, see, I've been watching Sega made stupid decisions since the mid 90s, so yeah, its very believable.

>>149341293
I don't even understand why the Master Emerald is a thing anymore. It's a magic MacGuffin that hasn't been relevant since SA1. I guess there's some story potential to it now because Frontiers showed it drawing the Chaos Emeralds to it, but if that's ever explained there'll be no mystery to it left at all.

We need more Lanolin fight scenes, I need more bell wispon in my life. She also needs to be allowed to just clobber characters with her fists and/or head. If her punching a bag is so intimidating that people thought she was abusing Tangle despite her saying nothing then she can absolutely beat the shit outta people.

Add Blaze to the naturally shitty fans as well. She belongs to all camps of deranged shippers and waifufags as well as autists who latch on to the quiet and stoic yet all powerful and flawless character.

>>149345349
Can you give me an example of a mainline game where Knuckles doesn’t have a good reason for leaving the master emerald unguarded? I can only think of 06 and that game was intended to be a soft reboot. Riders is a spinoff and the story in those games are clearly an afterthought. It seems to me that they always try to give him some excuse like in Heroes he wanted to stop Eggman’s fleet from conquering the world.

>>149342344

I think you can have a hard-ass female character and make it work. She just needs to be the butt of a joke when appropriate while also having some rarely-seen weaknesses where she cuts a little loose. If every interaction with her is some serious plot-related thing then no wonder people figures she's dull. But I haven't read everything with her yet.

It wouldn't be the first time a character was a little too concerned with following the rules or staying on-task, had a good character design and got over.

>>149346052

lanolin thread

>>149336932
It has to do with interfering with their brand. Eggman is the recognize villain of the IP, and having other villains around be able to one up him interferes with their image. So any villain that is made has to be either a henchman for him, or made out to be weaker than him.

That damn Ian! Doing what Sega has also been doing! He must be doing this on his own! Sega's not at fault!

>>149344911
Ian also has bias against the SatAM Robotnik ever coming back in any capacity. In fact, one of his first acts when coming aboard Archie was icing a big reveal of Robotnik returning to be Adam instead.

>>149347158
Physically-Revolting Dystopian American Robotnik is a good design and I will no longer pretend otherwise

>>149345925
>In Heroes they don't even bother explaining why he's with Sonic and Tails
>Colors DS has Knuckles going to the amusement park because he thought he was invited, with the ME only being mentioned because he found Rogue there as well
>Sonic Generations, he's just there for Sonic's birthday
>Lost World, he's just there to help out Amy
>In Forces he's part of the rebellion, with the ME not even mentioned
After Sa1, guarding the ME was never really all that relevant outside of some occasional throwaway dialogue. It was Ian that made it seem like an issue at all, to the point where he even wanted to destroy it because of the limitation he put himself into.

>>149347185
Tell that to the turbo autists who are either the Pingas brain rot tards or the purist weebs who only accept something if its japanese as legitimate.

>>149347227
I mean I love Pingas Man but I also love how the American Robotnik is the meanest gorilla nigger dictator in existence, and is so evil he actually wins sometimes.

>>149346754
>eggman nega has never been used in a game that isn't multiplayer
Rush is a multiplayer game now?

>in order to be in frontiers, knuckles has to be kidnapped from angel island
You know Ian helped write Frontier's story, right? He's directly attributed to writing the prequel short where said kidnapping happened. Before this Sega hasn't done anything close to that since SA1, where the ME was a major plot point. In Frontiers it's literally to justify a question that didn't need to be answered.

Even for the usual Ian defenders, this is just braindead.

>>149347158
That's only because of Ian's loyalty to the Archie comics he read, nothing more nothing less. SatAm died in Archie so he wanted him to say that way.

>>149347259
That is bullshit. Ian hated the idea of more than one Robotnik existing, and thought such a concept would confuse readers. He seethed hard on his podcast when Prime introduced multiple Eggman.

>>149341741
Ian hates Shadow and everything he stands for, maybe because he sees Shadows role(basically to second hero/co protagonist/rival role)from Segas eyes rightfully belong to Knuckles his favorite character, he'll never let him solo an overpowered threat that Sonic and Knuckles can't beat. Because he thinks Sonic and Knuckles(and sometimes Silver) are the only characters to be the special trump cards for being the most op hero of the cast and are akin to main character and main rival, Shadow is the third wheel guy to Ian, to be a hero but not a game changer hero the saves the day or world. Kinda like Trunks or Roxas.

>>149342421
it was same shadow schizo in both, I don't know how you guys can't tell by now

>shadow x sheep tits
when did this happen?

>>149347341
Ian read something about Shadow being Vegeta and is just plagiarizing that. He should feel some sense of shame that the recent Sonic movie actually managed to get Shadow's personality down perfectly.

>>149347158
>>149347341

Tails is boring and bland. And thr most generic everyman character who's a introvert nerd stereotype to self insert as. Thanks for confirming Tails sucks even more.

>>149347188
Part of the fandom shares some of the guilt too for actually buying into Ian's bullshit and meme'ing Knuckles for leaving the ME "alone all the time".

Though, by design, the ME would be better if it was smaller. The movies seemed to go on the right track, as it allows Knuckles to carry it around in his pocket spaces (not counting the small ME from that SA2 cutscene).

>>149349184
On one hand, I like ABT sneaking in as much boobs and ass as he can without Sega telling him to fix it.

On the other hand, I fear he will ruin Blaze's itty bitties the same way he gave Vanilla huge knockers (No, that last part is not a complain)

Tails and Silver also have the potentialfags.

>>149349775

NTA, but I've read this term a few times before, but never fully understood it.

Mind redpilling me?

>>149349938
It's a term born from battle shonen discussion.
Essentially, 'Potential Man' refers to characters who are noted in narrative to have great potential (enough to maybe even be the strongest) or are heavily wanked by the fanbase but rarely if ever live up to it.

>>149341299
>>149334060
Why does it seem appropriate for her to be a smoker?
>t. don't follow sonic comics

>>149350266
if sega wasn't ran by pussies for pussies, Lanolin would 100% be a chronic drinker and casual smoker. She looks like her childhood wrecker her and it's showing in her behavior.

>>149349494
I will give the people Sonic porn (officially licensed)!

Lanolin is the kind of lady that needed to be spanked more. I say we make some husbandos to correct that.

>Part of the fandom shares some of the guilt too for actually buying into Ian's bullshit and meme'ing Knuckles for leaving the ME "alone all the time".
That's sort of the issue in general. So much of the fandom is suffering from sunk cost fallacy. They don't want to every admit that Ian's writing isn't all that good anymore because they've made it their identity. So they'll gladly go along with whatever horseshit excuse Ian spits out, defeating the entire point of why they wanted him to begin with.

>>149349482
Very nice and saved.

Do Sonic characters really make people horny?

>>149352300

>Ages were decanonized
After about two decades of history? Lol, sorry, you can't get rid of something like that and expect it to be erased from everyone's minds.

>"Rookie, you say a word about this and you're getting a sound blast to the crotch. Lock the door and stand at attention, maggot..."

>>149352674
Not to mention the whole "the ages were decanonized" is just Sonic Team removing them from Sonic Channel so, most likely Western, fans stop bitching about Sonic still being labeled as 15 after Generations.

>>149352738
NTA, but in comics or games?
Don't get me wrong, I want Knuckles to power up and finally earn a damn super form through the ME, but I don't remember that ever being mentioned in the games (other than he can feel its power).

It's unfair that Guardian of the Sol Emeralds Blaze has a power-up from, when the Guardian of the ME doesn't.
