Let's not pretend Amy was ever good. She was always a cancer on the series.

Sonic CD? What was her role? To get kidnapped. She was a damsel, a plot device, a goal for Sonic to achieve. She contributed nothing. That was her introduction to the world. A vomited out version of an idea scrapped from the first Sonic game for a reason. Too derivative of Mario.
Adventure? She's a slutty girl who goes shopping and gets tangled up in things way over her head. Her entire story is about protecting a bird and running away from a robot. Her motivation isn't adventure, it's getting out of the adventure she accidentally stumbled into. Her theme song is about wanting Sonic to stop running and "settle our lives." She is the literal antithesis of everything Sonic stands for. She is the anchor, the ball and chain.
What did she ever contribute? Tails is the mechanic and he can fly. Knuckles is the mountain and the guardian. Sonic is the wind and protagonist. Amy is the whiny, cock-hungry civilian who distracts from the actual plot. Her entire character, her sole reason for existing in any scene, is her one-dimensional obsession with Sonic. She's not a hero. She's a stalker with a hammer.
She was always an unnecessary token love interest who brought nothing to the table but forced, cringey romance plots that went nowhere. The series is about freedom, speed, and adventure. A character whose only goal is to end all of that for the protagonist is narrative dead weight. She was never good. She's just a walking talking pussy Sonic will never fuck.
