Look at this guy. This is Sonic. There aren't "versions" of Sonic. There aren't "interpretations" of Sonic. There are adaptations of Sonic and most of them are absolutely worthless dogshit made by americans who either know nothing about him or want to change him into some shitty "comfort" character.

He's Sonic. He's great the way he is. He doesn't need your shitty changes. All he needs to be is free. He needs to embody that thing. That natural force. I don't even need to say the word, you already know it. Deep down, you agree that Sonic is at his best when he's portrayed correctly.
