>>528807480 (OP)What is with this early baking? Is this a bestiefag trying to troll or an Amyfag trying to falseflag and make bestiechads look bad?
All I'll say is if this is a bestiebro, stop doing this because you're making us look bad. Our fun will get compromised by shit like that.

sally is only for sonic. Amy is cringe
>>528807338It's just you. The whole point of the recent incarnation was to mirror the golden age shorts. Methinks you don't actually know what Looney Tunes are or haven't seen them in so long that you've forgotten.
This shot right here from the recent movie. It's followed by a joke where the women has trouble getting into her car cause her tits are too big.
All the more head scratching on why Space Jam 2 neutered Lola so hard.
Choose your path, incel or simp.
If you were 5% more bait-proof, bestiefag would have died 3 days after that comic released
>>528806964>I was expecting an epic metal/batman showdown it was kinda disappointingIan doesn't understand Shonen. The artist is doing all the work.
>>528807542>Shonen isn't a fucking genre or style, the word means "boy"It's whatever boys like which is cool fights, hype moments, funny moments and cool characters doing cool things.
>Blaze is becoming the new Sally

>>528807842I love the Riders shoes. If the next Sonic game brings back customization these shoes need to be an option
Is it possible to talk about Amy without shipfagging of any kind?
She's grown on me since Frontiers and I want to see how her character develops since she's done with Sonic.
>>528807735>Is he gay?Nope
>>528808445Why are you forcing it? It's not fun anymore if you force it
>>528807480 (OP)Please stop early baking. Wait until we're at 800 posts at least.
>>528808357What does that mean? Blaze is becoming Sonic's leading lady in the West ?

>>528808568>What does that mean? Blaze is becoming Sonic's leading lady in the West ?HAHHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHA
no she's just made to be one only to be slowly vaulted.
>>528808568Nobody waits till 800, everyone bakes at 750
>>528808605>>528808696why are you flooding the catalog?
>>528808670>So you don't like AmyI didn't but I'm willing to give her a chance since Frontiers is the first time she wasn't annoying and actually showed potential.
>>528808730TLTS was kino and you have no taste
>>528808763I'm just an anon who likes the meme, I didn't create those images. Is your behavior the reason wht people say besties aren't beating the allegations?
I will stay on this thread
>>528808764So it doesn't mean anything, you're just saying things.
>>528808868Most generals wait until 800 posts or page 8, whichever comes first.
>>528808990Where'd the bestie thing come from anyway?
>>528807480 (OP)Amy isn't catching a break
>>528808727When is the last time she's shown romantic interest in Sonic? They even went back in time to take it out in Generations and Classic Sonic.
>>528808734>LateNot late. This thread was posted 20 posts too early. You keep breaking the rules just to push a shitpost anti-OP. Your thread got deleted twice just 2 days ago for that.
>>528809183Because autists will be autists.
>>528808947.
>I don't like Silver but after reading IDW I came around to him!>I don't like Sonic but after Prime and the Movies he has real potential for me!>I didn't like Luke Skywalker but after Episode 8 he's grown on me!>I don't like Batman but after Snyder--You get it. I don't think you deserve a say on the character
Amy deserves better treatment
>>528809075The DC crossover.
>>528808605>>528808696How is it that since Superstars released, Tripfags have consistently been some of the worst posters here?
>>528808954It's boring shit it's like a giant blogposting.
>>528809254That's not why it got deleted nigga. We were all there and it was deleted because the gore made people refuse to use it after the photo got removed which led to it dying
>>528808730Yeah the 2011 show was low point. So much so that in season 2 of that (the final season) they started drawing Lola with huge tits cause all the talking was boring.
Rest assured, Looney Tunes wasn't ruined. Tiny Toons was but Looney Tunes, we just need to get rid of the faggots gatekeeping Pepe and Speedy. Once that is done, everything will be fine.
>>528809374Tripfags aren't early baking.
>>528809342>The DC crossover.Then why should anyone take it seriously?
>>528809392Funny cartoon animals but Seinfeld is fun. Even Sonic Boom proved it
>>528809383The red eyes and purple smoke look like hearts
Kinda surprised that Metalkek is considered a bigger letdown than Cuckver
>>528809435Flooding the catalog is just as bad. Both OPs should fuck off.
The bugs bunny sitcom was alright for my 12 year old brain
>>528809408And because it was early baked. The second one got deleted after 20 hours of fruitless bumping.
>>528809557>muh catalognoboby cares about other generals
>>528809557Then quit fucking early baking, you retarded faggot. It's nobody elses fault that the shitposter keeps baking way too early so he can get his shitpost out as fast as possible, it's not fair to anyone else.
>>528809413well maybe i'll give a shot to the new movie, i am thirsting for old western animation.
>>528809517Metal Sonic is actually good, the best, that's why it's such a bummer when he's written like fodder.
>>528808947if Frontiers did amy any favors, it was giving her the spindash and boost. it had nothing to do with the dogshit dialogue.
>DC has a whole treasure trove of villains
>All Sonic has are Eggman, Metal Sonic, and the Deadly Six
>>528809698THEN REPORT EARLY BAKERS, NIGGER.
>>528809698That's why I said he should fuck off too, genius.
>>528809693Jokes don't register in that defective brain of yours, huh?
>>528809298Why do I not deserve a say on a character I didn't like?
>Whispangle hinting immediately after killing a guy
I'm getting RWBY Bumblebee flashbacks...
>>528808947>I like this character now that they're a completely different character!
>>528809698Somebody making another thread 5 minutes early means you should make another thread and flood the catalog? That's some retarded logic.
>>528809748DC is way older and bigger than Sonic. Sonic also didn't use Eggman Nega.
>>528809505>Even Sonic Boom proved it>even though they vaulted everything under tons of poured concrete"Today, on the daily cope..."
>>528809693It's impossible for anyone who likes sonic to be a stable or pleasant person
>>528809693Show 1 instance of Amy being a stalker in the past 10 years.
>>528809928You can always stay there with your samefagging friends, pedo.
>>528809984What vaulting bro? Not promoting something is vaulting it? It's a dead sub brand
>>528809952AMY, YOU FUCKING BITCH
>>528809976Good because Eggman Nega sucks, he isn't different enough from Eggman to warrant his existence
>>528809928/fast/ is slowkino, 4/sthg/ is fast shitposting
>>528809951You care about flooding the catalog but not about faggots baking 10 minutes before the bump limit? That in itself is flooding.
>>528810143He is if you know what you're talking about which you don't seem to
>>528809951>flood the catalogNobody gives a shit about that, backseat janny.
>>528810193>hating one thing must mean you support this other thingWe truly are Autism General, huh?
>>528810248>youre a backseat janny for caring about flooding!>reee muh early baking i cant shill MY meme instead of him shilling his!Retard

>>528807835No but I found that disgusting and cringe worthy, like most people do. I think the reason I find it so disgusting is when I was younger I watched an episode of Deathklok where they neutered some retarded kid and that stuck in my head.
>>528809748I know this place hates archie as a religion, but this crossover would have made more sense in archie, because archie actually had a shiton of villians beside eggman, even taking account eggman goons, bosses and henchmen.
evens, order pizza
odds, ration the rest of my ramen for today
>>528810703>Everybody else follows the rules except for the anti-Amy shitposterThe Tripfag flooding isnt following the rules. Just like its against the law to kill a pedophile.

>>528809505>Funny cartoon animals but SeinfeldExcept that wasn't the case. It was Looney Tunes on a massive BUDGET CUT. It's way cheaper to animate characters talking vs all the fluid cartoon shenanigans. Also super friendly to censors what with the no guns and shit.
It was Looney Tunes if done by Hanna Barbera. By that I mean, really really cheap. Didn't work out cause it got cancelled after only two seasons.

>>528811103Whats your beef with utg? Utg is fun
>>528811038You're allowing the early baking by posting in the early-baked thread. You're shitting on the ON TIME thread for not being an early-baked thread. You support breaking the rules, retard.
>>528811470Amyfags will never beat the besties allegations.

>>528811374Amy was never a stalker at any point. Unless you’re willing to count Tails as a stalker.
I personally blame Scribbles for all of that

>>528811482I have no beef. I go to utg because I like watching and partaking in the shitpost chaos
>>528811607You're just being deliberately stupid. Sonic invites Tails to go with him. Amy follows him without his permission.
>>528811593Now you're deflecting, pedophile, you were criticizing my lack or subtletly when calling you out for shilling a dead imageboard first. The truth is, your place is an empty shithole and sthg is thriving. Cope and kys.
>>528811856Sonic never invited Tails to follow him in Sonic 2, he just did. That would be stalking by your definition.
>>528811383I was taking specifically about villains man, I wasn't talking about the freedom fighters at all, I don't cara that much about them.
>>528811286It was funny and had good writing. People refuse to give it a chance until realizing it was a gem years later
Threads like this prove autists are losers with no worth to anybody. You lot are gross inside and out.
>>528811856The Sonic 2 JP manual, which was referenced in Sonic Adventure's story, twice:
>One day, a few days after landing on the island, Sonic noticed that someone was following him. When he turned around, he saw that it was a small fox. When the fox noticed Sonic, it rushed to hide behind a palm tree. However, when Sonic started running, the fox did its best to follow him.>Well, I guess I'll let him do what he wants." Sonic decided, not really caring.So Tails is a stalker.

>>528809748Unlike American comics, Sonic doesn't have many iconic, recurring villains. Most of his enemies either become his friend or get erased from reality.

Amy Rose is honestly a pretty bad character. She's stuck in this one-note, obsessive role, just chasing Sonic around and acting like he owes her something. It gets old fast, and she never really grows beyond that. Instead of being a strong, independent character, she’s just a bestie with a crush, and that gets tiring. There’s so much potential for her, but the way they write her just makes her feel like dead weight most of the time. I honestly don't understand why people like Amy or have the gall to ship such a shallow character with the titlesake of this series.

A girl having a one sided crush on a guy isn't either, Amy was just being overbearing. It's just that she's been doing it for such a long time, added with the fact that these are cartoon characters not really meant to stray too much from the status quo, that people started to understandably assume that she was a psycho. It's a shame too because she's a much more enjoyable character when Sonic isn't even around: helps the Flicky reunite with its family in SA1, convinces Shadow to help save the planet, offers to help Trip out after fucking up her mission to stop Sonic and friends. I can see why they want to change her character to be less Sonic crazy, but holy shit she's so boring now. Bring back Psychomy please, anything is better than what we got in Frontiers.

Then Amy has a lesbian phase and tries to join the Diamond Cutters but they also reject her.

>>528819813>Yeah, Amy is interested in Sonic, but he's not interested in her.False
Sonic does have an interest in Amy. The point is that Freedom > Romance, he's always gonna prioritize his own freedom and never "commit" to a relationship. Saying he's just not interested in Amy is massively missing the point, and makes it seem like Amy herself is a problem. No, the problem is Sonic himself and his aversion to romance/commitment.

There's room for criticisms against it but they apply to both Sega's mandates and Ian being burned out from having to reboot TWICE thanks to sega's retardation
But as far as character designs go, IDW is better than ever. It should be the face of modern sonic. Surge and Tangle are excellent examples of what sells to zoomers.

>>528819869People think knuckles is black because he was allegedly inspired by jamaican/rastafarian aesthetics, which might have some truth to it. Either way, he's a red echidna with light skin. Rouge is a white bat with olive skin. If you make human versions of these characters and aggressively alter physical characteristics like that, such as making knuckles or rouge black, it has the same effect as giving them green or blue hair. It's alienating.
There are still people on t*itter who get upset if you draw knuckles with his canon skin tone. These people don't like the character. They like their neurotic approach to virtue signaling at best, and at worst are just applying magical thinking to their headcanon.
Thoughts?
I think it looks refreshing.
>>528821190>Ancient Echidna cultural aesthetics are a mix of Mayan, Peruvian and some Mexica/Aztec.

>>528821772>>"amy is a pure, perfect romance for Sonic, let's just ignore the years of Sonic rejecting her advances!"The entire point of Sonic & Amy, is that Sonic has no interest in pursuing a romantic relationship with anyone. He is too much of a free spirit who loves adventure to ever commit to a relationship. Amy Rose is designed as a love interest within this concept, as a girlfriend figure always chasing after Sonic and smothering him in affection that he finds annoying or doesn't want. Amy embodies the concept of 'Girlfriend', period, and Sonic's reaction to her is his response to the concept in general.
It is not a disinterest in Amy, specifically. It's a disinterest in what she represents.
Amy Rose is the ideal girlfriend figure for Sonic, who is a Girl version of him sharing his values and ideals, always willing to follow him wherever he goes, and he still refuses making anything official.
Assuming that Sonic just doesn't like Amy is false, as the official stance is always that he does return the feelings in some unspoken way. The point is that the "problem" is much deeper than whether or not Sonic feels the same. Sonic could love Amy more than Amy loves Sonic, but he will STILL refuse to ever commit to an actual official relationship and he will STILL run off like the wind to the other side of the planet just because he can.

>>528817749Surge is easily the most popular out of the cast. The series also needs more villains aside from Eggman and the deadly shits.
They’ll need to workshop her. Modify her backstory so she’s not a mind-rape victim, tell Evan to go fuck herself and make her a proper villain, maybe drop Kit since nobody gives a fuck about him. But I can see her getting in a game eventually.

>>528823191Because it's basically the whole reason one of the franchise's main recurring characters exists?
I know this place is likes a lot of cracks ships, but whats your opinion of vectilla?
It originated on sonic x mostly as a side crush on vector part, now even sega got into the bandwagon and made it Canon in the sonic channel art.
Now in idw we have vanilla even making little moves on him, and actually being interested in vector, while vector spills his spaghetti not knowing what to do.
It's kinda interesting to me.
Porn artists you are supposed to make more art after this issue
>>528823086>bestiebot moving goalposts already
Sonic shipping debates are retarded because the person is either self inserting as Sonic or using one of his western characterizations because you know DAMN well it can't be the Sonic from the fucking VIDEO GAMES acting like a proper boyfriend.

>>528823279>She doesn't share his ideals, she wants to settle down with him and have a family,False. Amy wants an exciting life of adventure, thrills and excitement, and wants to keep chasing after Sonic while he runs freely. She does not have any desire to tie him down, at all, ever.

The reason Sonic and Amy never get together is due to Amy resembling his sister Sonia.
>>528824383Vanilla has never flirted with Vector. Everything she has ever done that looks like flirting can be interpreted as being nice.
>>528824449we get it, you're so desperate for female attention you'd take even Amy
>>528824468Is that in her notes?
>>528823913>>528824164Yeah I agree with the other anon, the chaotic mostly behave as brothers.
Charmy being there doesn't make vector or espio their parents. Sounds more like vector wanted cheap workers, and charmy was just there.
Americans need to get over their fear of relative characters looking like recolors since that's what Sonic Team did anyways for Sonic's family. If you want authenticity, Sonic's siblings and parents should just be Sonic with one barely-qualifiable difference.
You all reak of Ian Flynn needing things to be "grounded" and "Evened out". That's right, I called you Ian Flynn.
If Sonic remembered Elise, she'd be his one and only.
>>528807480 (OP)Sonic never had malice this extreme for Amy. Borderline 2000s DeviantArt projecting onto Sonic.
There was a literal rule in sonic forces that the OC creator wasn't allowed to make anything that might be more aesthetically pleasing than sonic, so it got nerfed into oblivion to what we could have had.
Likewise for any side material (IDW, knuckles tv show). You are not allowed to outpace the main games.

>>528824783Wrong.
Sonic made it clear to Elise that as soon as Eggman was defeated, he is leaving Soleanna and never looking back. He also loves Elise and Amy, both, as the test of love shows. It doesn't matter, because he still chooses "freedom" in the end anyway.
The only thing Sonic hates is oppression (being chained to a relationship)
>>528824439>Sparky is always wrongAgreed.
>>528824056Yeah that's not unreasonable to think, but there is not even a single shred of evidence that he's around, nothing hinted at the games, nothing hinted in Sonic X, nothing to even imply that he exists. In Sonic Advance vanilla gets kidnapped and there's no mention of her husband, who would probably be distraught.
Even in IDW and Archie (non-canon as it was) they go with Vanilla being a widow.

Only literal goyim packed like sardines in a can need "communal" bathrooms segregated by sex (which was invented literally to divide working goyim and break up unions by pitting men against women).

>>528828376Because his male bffs already have better friends.
>>528828420>bangs>clothestoo much, femSonic should be naked, clothes only slow her down
Silver has no dynamic with any character he's group with. Amazing.

Read it. ALL of it.
>He didn't play S Factor: Silver and Sonia
>>528828376Silver can't go anywhere without a girl attaching herself to him
>>528828521I don't remember Rouge and Omega capable of saving his stuck ass
>>528828749Still better friends.
>>528828695None of them are attracted to him btw.
>>528828576He's the leader of every group
Every character needs a bestie, love interest, and rival. This is how we fix the franchise.
Stop saying the word crap
>>528825221Filters out what? People with standards?
>>528828695You can really tell Sega didn't give Archie any notes about the gender character design rules until the reboot. Almost all of their Echidna OCs are just Knuckles in drag.
>>528828873Yeah one is removing a leech the others is just making them walk on their own.
Trunks the Hedgehog needs Gohan the Hedgehog and Goten the Hedgehog. After this we delete Blaze and Whisper from existence and the franchise will be saved.
>>528828939Art imitates life, every day all they time they're saying "oh crap oh crap oh crap!"
>>528828695The one that looks like a lesbian is surprisingly the one that isn't a lesbian.
>>528827785>>528828415>Boom tails had not one but two women lusting for him, one of them even became his actual girlfriend.>sonic x tails had to kill the love of his life>archie had the worst love luck ever, until he found mina.>game tails will stay forever alone.I'm glad the dude won at least in one universe.
>>528829015I like Sonic and Eggman
>>528829015i liked it better when i was 6
>>528826329Then fuck off to your own franchise
Why are guys so hyper analytic with Silver? feels like most of his faults could be found in every character
>>528828576He doesn't bounce off anyone, he doesn't complement anyone, he doesn't have any dynamic with anyone, his "rivalries" with Sonic and Shadow don't exist anymore
>>528829127Tails and Mina need more fanfics
>>528829260that would remove 75% of the posters here
>>528828078Thank you anon!
Stop fucking my boyfriend Tails
>>528829215What is this dumb shit? this could be acquainted with literally every character but Sonic.
>>528827879Take your meds, schizo
>>528829161>ShadowNiggahog caused every problem he "tries" to fix
Next thread should be in support of Amy
Next thread should be in support of Sally
Everyone is always shitting on Silver that they forgot that Tails and Knuckles aren't even friends in frontiers and Amy is not interested in talking to either of them herself. The Core 4 is a fucking lie. The entire idea that they have character dynamics amongst themselves is in IDW.
Even in Sonic X. Knuckles has NOTHING with Tails. Amy sees Knuckles and Tails as obstacles or means to get to Sonic and nothing more.
>>528829436Tails is fucking your boyfriend?
Fuckin' Rip anon, you're not getting him back.
>>528829464Silver lacks a dynamic with ANYONE, even SONIC himself. Almost 20 years later and he added NOTHING to the series
>>528829070Silver and Trunks should have picked the Goddesses
Next thread should be in support of me
Next thread should be in support of Elise.
>>528828141>>528828234There was no gore spamming Amyfag.
Next thread should be the Supporting Me remix from Shadow Gens
I wish Sally Acorn would stop sexually harassing me
>>528829687Why are screaming in the middle of sentence?
Humans should be turned into Mobians
>>528829684>The Core 4 is a fucking lieIt isn't. The core is Sonic and the three revolve around him.
Next thread should be in support of Chip
I'll bake. What do you want it to be about?
>>528829840I second this.
>>528829127Dude deserved it.
>>528829282I agree, that ship need more fanart along honails
>>528829963Marine's marines
>>528829014I don't think grown adults on the Internet bitching and moaning classifies as that. Actual people playing the games are liking she's not annoying.

>>528829127I would like to have zooey and perci on the main universe, both were cuties, perci had a very original design.
>>528829929Fuck outta here.
Now now, don't flood the catalog lol
>>528829887I gotchu senpai
>>528829127He lost in our universe though because Zooey is now associated with NTR
>>528829127Fuck yeah zooey. The only other fox beside tails that wasn't an asshole, in fact she was the most wholesome fox ever.
>>528829329Sounds good to me
>>528830221kek thanks, bro.
>>528830260Dreamcazt fanart is not the whole universe bro.

>>528830097They skip the cutscenes because they're boring as shit and "sonic shouldn't have a story" anyway
>>528824047Yeah, she wears European clothes. Tailcoat, tights, shoes, gloves.
>>528829687They'd have to agree on what his character even is in the first place for him to have a dynamic with anyone but 20 years later Silver still hasn't gotten past that basic step
>>528828695Silver's sex slaves.
