Wait, does the IDW staff want to evolve Amy into a legit leader who's taken seriously? That's just not who she is at her core, and she should have no expectation of being that. That's just not her niche, that's not her strength, it's painfully disharmonious with her archetype. But this panel makes that even worse. Like they're not just undercutting who Amy really is, they're mainly undercutting Lanolin and everyone that listens to her. There's something about Lanolin, a serious grown woman, treating Amy like some grand commander, that feels primally wrong. Amy's evolved a bit over the years to focus her heart better where it counts, and use her hammer better, but at her core she's still the silly, Sonic-obsessed dreamer we've known since Sonic CD, and she always will be. Her impulsiveness, unstable personality, and passion, define her more than fucking Resistance credentials. And if the IDW staff want to change that, well, they just can't, it's too late, it's stupid to even try. The Amy we've known for decades is already an iconic character. But anyway, Lanolin is discipline and practicality, she's like the exact opposite of what Amy stands for. Her deferring to Amy is a supposed seasoned commander saluting a lovesick pre-teen. The age gap makes it weird enough, but mainly, it's the clash of archetypes. It disrupts the natural hierarchy we expect from a serious character like Lanolin, submitting to someone so immature and emotionally volatile, and that undercuts the entire narratit. But then at the same time, Lanolin has no problem disregarding a serious character like Whisper. The comic makes it clear early on that Whisper's got the skills and experience to back up her authority, yet Lanolin seems to brush her off while elevating Amy, who's still mostly defined by being a silly cartoony little girl who swings a hammer. I don't think they're trying to write Lanolin as an unstable retard with horrible judgement, but that's they keep doing.
