Sonic is the wind and if you disagree you hate Sonic

Have a lovely night, /sthg/

The reason many fans want Shadow, Knuckles, and Silver to have their own casts/stories is because all 3 seperated enough from Sonic to have independant stories, and Archie is proof of this, giving all 3 of them pretty good stories, companions, and villains that have little to no relation with Sonic.

Sonic Adventure will always be more classic than Meta Era Classic Sonic.
Classic Sonic as depicted in Sonic Generations does not look or behave the way Sonic did in the 90s.
Sonic Adventure resembles the actual classic era tone and style infinitely more than Sonic Mania Adventures does.
The style and tone of the actual classic era is more resembling of the 2000s home console Sonic games than anything released during the Meta Era.
The Sonic Origins animations are not representative of what 90s Sonic is like. There is a stark contrast in style and tone when Sonic Origins switches from the new animated shorts to the original animations from Sonic CD.
Most promotional material from the 90s would never be made for a game like Sonic Superstars, because it does not fit the style of Meta Era Classic Sonic.
The Meta Era was defined by its attempts to distance itself from the original concepts of the series, to redefine the style and tone to the core. Meta Era Classic Sonic is a result of that, not a return to form.
Sonic in the 90s was defined by a constant push for innovation, with a strong desire for 3D graphics and anything else that technological advancements could bring. Meta Era Classic Sonic is the complete opposite: it is defined by being stuck in a false, idealized past that never existed. The 2000s games are the natural continuation of the real classic Sonic.
Nothing will ever change that the OVA released in 1996, while Sonic Superstars is a modern game released in 2023.
Instead of relying on its own merits, Meta Era Classic Sonic tries to claim the successes of the 90s as its own.
Pretending any of the above is false is erasing Sonic's origin and identity to the core. Acknowledging that Meta Era Classic Sonic is in many ways the complete opposite of the original 90s Sonic doesn't mean Meta Era Classic Sonic material is inherently bad. Meta Era Classic Sonic can be enjoyed, perhaps even preferred, without lying about the past and the origins of the series.

Why everytime something stupid happens regarding dumb modern social political stuff, this guy always posts defending it like a bot? It this the penciller/colorist that likes to "hide" woke stuff in the comic? You know, the guy who has drawn his trans oc, just to prove trans "exists" in the sonic universe?
I swear everytime someone post his tweets is always the same.

Douge

>>537727156
The fact that the spanish you use sounds a bit odd and funny is endearing to me, besides these posts are hilarious as someone who actually speaks spanish

What about Blaze?

cute couple

Speaking of Knuxical, I could only find 2 or 3 drawings of it? Also

Neato

>>537727374
Tikal fanart always makes me happy.

>>537727338
NGL, Blaze is lame compared to those 3, but considering she has an entire dimension to herself, she also has potential for her own cast/story, what with her One Piece-esque world and all.

>>537727068
>>537727338
sure add her and let her have adventures with Marine

>>537727374
>>537727463
why can't they just bring these two back?

Do they...does he have a...you know.

You need to post something cooler my fellow strawhat

Yeah, I heard it before.

Did they

>>537727707
Perpetual pregnancy

>>537727537
Blaze the Potential Woman.

>>537727621
Like I said, Blaze could just have a lite-One Piece story. Island travelling, meeting local villains.

Nobody cared who he was after he took off the mask...

>>537727746
God, this is so fucking good. Honestly, it's a shame we'll never get designs like this in Sonic, all the new characters are too santizied

Also, work like this is what makes me remember why I love the mobian design so much, they work well with anything.

>>537727075
Or?
>>537727276
Who?

>>537727686
I've read just enough trap doujin to think of something. Not today though.

It's likely her way of coping.

>>537727707

>>537728043
>they ded
That can just be retconned, and I'm pretty sure they're not dead. They were in the Knuckles frontiers animation.

>>537727068
I'd be okay with Shadow having some more named Black Arms fags to job for him.

Silver I really don't give a shit unless somebody wants to do a fangame or fancomic with him in the future or something, he's a distraction from what the series should be. Just go play Gravity Rush.

I need Shadow femdom

>>537728176
Honestly, at the end of the day, Sega doesn't have enough money to do any of this shit. But I think Archie at least gave a small glimpse of the potential stories characters like Shadow, Knuckles, and Silver could have even when fully/mostly detached from Sonic's stories.

>>537727818
Rush Adventure is already one of the top five Sonic games in my book. I don't think Blaze needs anything else. They'd just screw it up somehow.

>>537728219
yeah I want to be dommed by fem shadow

>>537728219
Is he the dominatrix or

>>537727959
Yeah, I get you lad, but we know actual sonic main videogame sonic characters are usually very simple in design. Mostly on guys the details go to their gloves and shoes, while women have more liberty on the way they dress while all are fully clothed.
The most complex sonic animal sonic character are probably vector or charmy, vanilla too.

>>537728345
>But I think Archie at least gave a small glimpse of the potential stories characters like Shadow, Knuckles, and Silver could have even when fully/mostly detached from Sonic's stories.

Yeah but it kind of fucking sucked. Knuckles especially was a disaster and permanently ruined his brand, or would have if Sega hadn't already and the Movie writers weren't intent on making it even worse.

The only part of Archie I thought was done really well was the ending, basically, all the Unleashed-based stuff.

>>537728087
The dude gave me ptsd Vietnam flashbacks of idw transformers, G.I. joe and Sophie Campbell tmnt.
I honestly dislike him.

>>537728506
Wow this look like a cool rule 64 version of archie's sonic eclipse the darkling, I like it. He was a cool character.

>>537728087
>>537728580
Ngl I thought that anon was talking about the other Anon. Gigi obviously talks about gay retarded comic shit because he/she idfk works at idw

>>537728506
I disagree, alot of the preboot stuff could be salvagable if rewritten, it's not like the ideas and concepts behind the Dark Legion or Echidna Brotherhood are innately bad, Penders just was too autistic and serious with it, should have kept it light hearted.
>>537728475
Yeah, complex designs are basically only seen in Archie or IDW, or fan charcaters

>>537728813
What did you do to my boyfriends

>>537728045
Now I'm imagining her as some kind of fairy thing that only a chosen few can understand.
That, or Tails is a true Zorro.

>>537728045
>Honey saying in Spanish how she's super in love with him at the point she's making a small embarrassing monolog about it, thinking he doesn't understand.
>he replies to her in Spanish, something really unimportant in her monolog
>honey spills all her spaghetti in the most hilarious way possible.

>>537728710
She's a one-off Black Arms OC by BenshiR125

>>537728813
Yeah the whole dark ages are basically Ken penders and Karl bollers fault by an autistic fight of power. With a sprinkle of that editor who became a penciler because he wanted another paycheck, making horrible stories too.
Ken ponders wast the worst of all of them though, the other guys were the lesser evil.

It was satisfying to see people realize Sonic Generations was just yet another meta era game and nowhere near as good as everyone pretended for so long as soon as it was put next to Shadow Generations

>>537728793
That wouldn't make sense. That post wasn't a gotcha or defending anything, it was a reply to an anon who was unaware about something that was stated.

What happened to Paps
his downfall needs to be studied

>>537728997
That's actually adorable.
Having Honey rambling to herself about how attractive and cute Tails is and that she can't find any suits or cosplays that'll make him look better and Tails casually saying in her tongue that Amy told him red and blue are good highlight colors for him. She asks how long he's known Spanish for and he says he's known it before he met her. (This was not the first time she was outwardly rambling about how cute and hot she finds him.)

>>537729261
but people always loved the levels and gameplay compared with the shitty writing? the term sonic cheerleaders came from there

>>537729261
I mean, I don't know why you are exposing the obvious, the game was developed at that time. While shadow generations is using a more modern shonen/seinen style of writing from the frontiers era.
That's the whole reason the game was basically rewritten to add more details and being consistent with the shadow side.
>but flynn references
Yeah man I get it, the point still stands.

>>537729351
>What happened
>C-c-can I be part of the sekrit klub now guise?

The Hontails ship is like a fucking roach in this fandom. No matter how many times it gets fucking stomped on and rightfully lambasted, somehow, someway, someone revives talk and fanfiction about it and I have no fucking idea why because their literal only interaction ever was Honey beating the shit out of Tails.

>>537729630
you just described Tang

>>537726862 (OP)
Did they just straight up fucking ruin the mystery of the character in their debut issue? Holy fuck lmao

>>537729529
>I don't know why you are exposing the obvious, the game was developed at that time
Because for the longest time people praised it endlessly as one of the best Sonic games and pretended it wasn't part of the meta era, when in reality it started a lot of the worst trends from it

>>537729630
its literally tailstrannies
they have NOTHING they hate the other fox and the plant so they cope with that
its fucking sad to see

>>537729630
You lose if you gave importance of something you dont care about.
We had worst shitposter too like lc-kun/hb_lint or the actual tailsfag/character fag.
Shipping is annoying? Yes but we have worst things to deal here objectively, just ignore it.

>>537729261
I never thought it was that great. It's a great base for Unleashed Project, and the Classic Sonic gameplay is actually fun if you use the physics fix mod. That's about all I can say. There's a lot of shitty aspects to it.

If anything it reaffirms how good of a game Shadow Gens is that the reaction from most people is "oh this makes Gens look like shit" rather than "wow this is the best game since Gens".

>>537729790
Most Tailsfags don't like that ship because it's usually just used for an abuse fetish.

>>537729630
>their literal only interaction ever was Honey beating the shit out of Tails
Not true!
He also (nearly?) died on an apparent date with her.

>>537729725
yup and ended with eggman
this shit is never getting better

>>537729746
No one praised generations for the writing, the game is a love letter to the whole franchise, the game barely had a story.
People liked how the favorite stages and bosses got revived, be classic or modern, thats it. (Classic was reviving from the death from the first time since the 90's, it was actually a novelty at the time)

>>537729746
>pretended it wasn't part of the meta era, when in reality it started a lot of the worst trends from it

Everyone always acknowledged the writing was terrible and that it was the start of over a decade of franchise navel-gazing.

I think what maybe was not always properly acknowledged is how bad the 2D segments in Gens are when you compare them to Unleashed or Shadow Gens. But even back then people were complaining about it, but it was just a lot of "I'm sick of 2D segments" rather than actually calling out how much worse 2D segment design had gotten.

Lunar: Another OC that failed to land no matter how much the staff hyped the character.

>>537729630
>>537729790
>Fox is either the Archie one or the Boom one
>Plant is X
>Archie had the Koala, but, lmao
>Using either Amy or Rouge ensues a schizo ship battle
Which means the only people who latch onto Honey are the ones who hate ALL of the other options:
>Cream
>Wave
>Marine
>Sage

Fascinating

>>537727792
possessive lil guy

>>537729861
>>537729870
I genuinely like it, along with the mina ship, but as some said here I really hate the bdsm fetish this place have for that particular ship.
I don't know why the abuse meme posts even started

>>537729725
I can maybe understand if they were trying to do some kind of subversion

>>537729351
Evan playing it safe by diffusing responsibility saying oh she got approval from her coworkers that this idea might be good so if it gets criticized then the blame gets diffused ok

>>537730189
love how you forgot Mina aka the one that was post time skip canon lmao
Show how fucking dogshit that was

>>537730050
It's not just the writing. The whole game is just a lazy rehash with bad controls

>>537730149
>"I'm sick of 2D segments"
This was relatively uncommon before Forces. Generations never got criticized enough for it
The 3D parts are worse than previous games too

What if IDW was mandatory reading in schools?

>>537729256
Bollers was actually kind of fun, very "comicky" but that's what it was, not trying to be anything different or show up the games. Penders is just a weird sex pest.

>>537730373
You shatter my heart anon, in the end m, they had a solid marriage.
I get why people don't like it though, at least it had a happy ending with love and actual children.

>>537730298
I would probably like the ship if it wasn't used for abusive trash. The designs are cute. Hopefully if people like it we'll see some genuine content for it

>>537730545
I still wish he was able to get to his Metal Overlord storyline.

ROUGE LOST

>>537730468
I never said it was a good game myself. That up to the one who plays.
>>537730545
I will give him points because he was the one who tried to make amy relevant, until penders blocked him, still, he was as trash as penders but better than him just by a little.

>>537730298
because of this pannel and how easily Honey beat tails the faggot

I like the ship because I think the two look cute together and yes I am going to always bring it up every once in a while because there's hardly any attention given to Honey these days.

>>537730736
Man the whole archie sonic the fighters arc was a goat story, it revived breezie with a really cool design, Along with coconuts, scratch and grounder.

>>537729870
>bluepill: Honey destroyed Tails by making his head spin on the spinning ride.
>redpill: Amy's witchcraft destroyed Tails when she pulled out her death (skull) and tower (LIGHTNING) cards.

>>537730782
shipping her with Fails is not doing shit for your character
You should put her with Bean and Bark instead

>>537731104
Amyfags will never beat the besties allegations.

>Story starts off hyping up a new OC that might have some mystery and may be important sometime later.
>3rd last page reveals it was a complete nothingburger bait and switch.
>The bait and switch is Eggman is attacking a city again.

Literally what in the fuck was the point of this issue other than to be an excuse later to reintroduce Starline? I expect almost nothing from this comic and yet it gives me an issue that literally makes itself fucking pointless. I feel bad for people who pay for this shit dude. This is so bad it's genuinely bizarre.

>>537730702
Is that rouges bodysuit in panel 2 on the bed

>>537730468
>This was relatively uncommon before Forces.

Unfortunately we lost the /vg/ archives from back then as far as I know but people here were always complaining about it a lot. I hate that I've been here for almost 20 years.

>>537731029
Nta, but bark is busy lusting for amy in that regard. Along with storm for some reason.
Kinda funny amy attract barafags, and shes in love with a very skinny (but powerful) guy.

>>537731104
Which issue is this from

>>537731305
That's exactly what it is.

>>537731367
not as a ship bait but part of the team , specially after Fang ditched them

>>537731029
Nah, bean and bark are fine with fang tagging along.

>>537731321
To be fair I myself started coming here in 2017. I was always complaining about the 2D at least as early as 2010 if not earlier. I just felt alone in that before I found this general. I'm glad to see that screenshot

>>537731182
POTENTIAL MAN...

This comic is a fucking joke.

>>537731321
shadowslop its also boostshit by the way and even worse slop with gimmicks

Tails and Cream have a better relationship than Tails and Honey

The lack of pronouns is really forced and makes the dialogue odd. Just say he already

>>537731581
>and even worse
You can't get worse than Meta Era trash.

>>537731367
>Along with storm for some reason.
Yeah, what's up with that? Storm having the hots for amy, was out of nowhere.
But I will give it points for the comedic situation at least In the interactions.

>>537731254
They are allergic to having real villains
Everything must be some Steven Universe misunderstanding bullshit
>The skunks are just goofy jobbers
>The coca cola addict got LE CANCELLED
>The gay duck is fucking dead (maybe)
>The totally-not-androids got uwufied
>The giant salamader was a nothingburger
>Scrapniks are le heckin victims
And there's probably more bullshit I'm forgetting about
Fuck this shit

>>537731367
Not being able to draw like this make me suicidal

>tails and cream
its zooey the plant or mina (Barbie was better btu alas)
the others are just your fanfiction.Hell , SEGA is all on Marine/Tails(femboy)

>>537731798
Tailssissies...

>>537731496
Oh, off-site Sonic fans have always been dipshits, they were definitely lapping up Gens at the time like no tomorrow. It helped that reviewers loved it. This was in the middle of "we need to pander to balding genx losers who don't even like sonic but run gaming magazines" era.

>>537730975
The first seems more probable, but I *do* enjoy a good witch-burning..

Here I thought sthg were huge sonurgfans

>>537731581
I'm glad you're still here 12 years later anon...

>>537731857
Barby was BETRAYED and VAULTED by Ian Flynn for daring to be a love interest for Tails.

REMINDER
They ditched Fang
ITS HER CHANCE

>>537731973
More images like this pls

>>537731504
>It's a "they could have stopped it since the very beginning but the plot demmanded a retarded decision to artificially make it happen anyway" episode

>>537731798
Thinking about this logically for a second, this doesn't even make sense. How would Tails lose his grip on Sonic here? He's literally been directly hit and attacked while flying with him and didn't let him go.

>>537731648
Shadow the PEHhog

Lunar is a boy

>>537732121
Proof?

>>537732180
No eyelashes or breasts

>>537731973
Everyone blames Flynn when the actual guy at fault, was the guy who started drawing her as a late teenager in the early Archie days, when she was supposed to be tails age.

>>537731798
Are those Rouge's bombs from Sonic 2006? Cool

>>537732115
Imagine being Rouge in this situation and having a perfectly good plan going smoothly and having it btfo'd because Shadow is retarded and knowingly taking bait.

>>537732098
>ermm..... why didnt they just heccking solved the entire plot of the story on the first 3 episodes
Holy fucking autism nigga

>>537731798
They're not even friends, by the way.

*tinny Rhythm and Balance plays out of his ipod shuffle headphones*

>>537732284
Nigga Rouge is as strong AS KNUCKLES wtf don't tell me she jobbed to Tails...

>>537732284
Cute Tails!

>>537731857
This pic was just a gag about marine wanting to be the main lead, I swear people here have really strange fetishs.
Modern stuff rot everyone's brains, this used to be a solid gag before, bugs bunny did it all the time.

>>537730468
>Generations never got criticized enough for it
Because Generations' 2D sections played with a 3D space, Sky Sanctuary's three branching paths come to mind, they're not layered on top of each other, they're actually side by side, it's something the genesis games couldn't replicate because they weren't capable of doing so at the time, same goes for the G.U.N. Truck in City Escape Act 1 and the Death Egg Robot fight, so Forces dropping the ball more often than not is especially bad.

>>537732401
>Rouge is as strong AS KNUCKLES
When was the last time that was taken seriously?

>>537732495
True, but Generations was still boring to play, it was just more visually stimulating than Classic Sonic's stages in Forces

>>537732430
>Lunar making a meta comment referencing Shadow's backstory
>they
>kid
Holy fuck I hate IDW so much it's unreal

>>537732401
And he fucked her afterwards, too. Crazy.

>>537732284
I'm glad at least idw acknowledge rouge bossom, unlike sega censorship nowadays.

>>537732430
>>537732596
Wtf is wrong with Shadow in this issue? Holy shit, this is the type of retarded aggression I would expect from Knuckles.

>>537732663
Mandates.

>>537732663
The west is STILL on Shadow being diet Vegeta in personality.

>>537732596
Am I the only one who thinks this art is kind of bad

>>537732401
A character can't win all the time, what kind of rant is that?
This applies to every character, even the chaotix have won some battles.

>>537732663
The retarded troon cocksuckers at IDW can't understand him. They're just using an aggressive fanfiction version of him that never says Sonic's name.

>>537732472
It's only tailsfags and shipfags. Anyone else can see that it's just a gag.

>>537732663
I was about to say the same thing. Shadow is way OOC in this issue idk what the other guys were talking about with him being written in character.

>>537732753
This page, specifically, is really simplified. Maybe just ran out of time

>>537727746
Jinbei using blue haki...

>>537732740

>>537732430
>>537732740
>>537732596
Literally Boom Shadow level character assassination going on, lovely.

>>537732472
>>537732783
No one ever denied that it's a gag. It's also that Japan has good tastes and appreciates cute boys like Tails

Fuck I hate IDW Shadow so much. Americans should literally be banned from writing him.

>Shadow started a fight and lost it with Sonic and Tails for no fucking reason when Rouge already had the head start and things were going well for them.
IDW Shadow is reaching levels of jobbing previously not thought possible.

>Rouge jobs to Tails in one hit
>Shadow is retardedly bullheaded and lets Lunar escape
>Trannypedogroomer pronoun bullshit making dialogue awkward
I hate IDW

>>537732903
This is a very cute Tails.

>>537732903
So rather than let Shadow solve the issue then and there, they just let the thief get away and have to look for them all over again?

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS STORY

>>537732903
Cute!!!

so what's wrong with IDW shadow exactly? like I know shit has been posted here but only I don't care to see what's going on but it just seems like "IDW shadow" was a thing before this issue. What's so different from game shadow?

REDEEMNIC, nigga.

>>537732903
GREAT, THE FUCKING IPAD IS BACK, YIPEE KI YAY

>>537733164
The Miles Electric is cool and Tails just literally won a fight against Rouge

>>537733125
He acts closer to Boom Shadow than Game Shadow, but jobs like Archie Shadow.

Ima be honest. Usually I'll at least read this for free if it's conveniently posted here but the writers have generated so much anti-interest in this comic, I cannot be bothered this time.
Even when spoonfed.

>>537733125
He's a huge jobber who acts more like Knuckles than Shadow.

>>537733167
I like how their shitty attempt at an androgynous fails as soon as he takes off his mask. I guess even in Sonic the face never lies.

>>537733125
>What's so different from game shadow?

>>537733315
My question is: will everyone want to fuck him? And will he invent a new shipping meta?

>>537733167
I still cant believe that this arc is gonna last 3 whole issues.

>>537733257
NIGGA YOU WEAR AIR SHOES/CAN CHAOS SNAP WHAT ARE YOU DOING

>>537733247
I stopped reading like 8 issues ago. I feel completely apathetic and I hate almost every single person who's working in the comic.

>>537733315
Best attempt at an androgynous Sonic character I've seen is a female who hides her lashes behind bangs.

>>537733247
I don't blame you when this issue seemingly exists only to prop up and immediately shitcan a brownie points pronouns character. It doesn't even matter if he never shows up in the comic again, they're gonna reference him forever.

>>537733167
So is this like The Mask or something?

Thank fuck this shitty issue is over
That was horrible

>>537733167
>>537733315
I want to see what the rest of the head looks like. I also don't know if the outfit will be kept. I don't know why everyone immediately said this design looks good as soon as the mask was taken off. Also, I'm confused by that orange triangle, is that part of the head or the clothes? If it's the head then it looks weird. We need a better look at this character before I can say anything

>>537733247
I wish I did that,
holy shit the writers are writing for Steven Universe, not Sonic
This sucks dick.
Wake me up when the next issue of Sword of Courage is out.

>>537733167
>>537733421
There's no way that's how this issue ends.
There's no way bro. What the fuck was that? Why even make this a whole issue? Why did they even have Shadow and Rogue fight. I-What, what were they trying to fucking do? This was a complete waste of our time. Literally nothing fucking happens.

>>537733574
And people pay $7 for this?

Hey, remember how in IDW Shadow's first fight with Sonic, he warped from a clearing in a forest back to the village the fight started in, without an emerald since Starline had them all at the time?

Can you honestly explain to me why Shadow wouldn't constantly be warping when he seems to love spamming Chaos Snap in the actual games, he'll even warp for the sake of warping, but he won't warp here and now, why? I'll tell you why: because if he did then he'd succeed and that'd make it so the story plays out in a way that wasn't already planned out beforehand.

If this were IDW, Shadow wouldn't have beat Sonic in that animation.

>>537733589
The triangle is definitely on his head.

I'm disappointed he doesn't have giant gooey sugar glider eyes.

So, if I had to guess, Shadow and Rouge are just included in this to boost readership via Shadowfags and Rougefags because their faves are in an arc even though they won't really serve a purpose.

>>537733323
You didn't read the post? This isn't an issue about playing the games but NOT reading the fucking comic.
>>537733257
>>537733236
I see, I assume is just the writter nerfing him just to make sonic look better? that's my guess since I don't read the comics. I only remember the panel of him getting infected, which is the most retarded thing I seen shadow jobb to

>>537733753
This creature is cute

>>537733764
Everyone was saying girl until yesterday. I don't know why everyone says boy now.

>>537733764
Who gives a shit about this retarded OC?

>>537733421
I know it's supposed to be a scarf, but it looks like if Eggman had a pelican tier triple chin, and it's fucking disgusting

>>537733764
How is this even a question? He obviously has a small useless peen nobody can even step on

This issue isn't even filler, the comic is actively worse because of it's inclusion. This is just a waste of time.

>>537733764
I was leaning towards girl until I saw his face.

>>537733676
That was all because Ian had no idea how Chaos Control worked and doesn't know about Chaos Snap and just assumed Shadow can just use Chaos Control without an emerald and Sega was just retarded. I don't think we have seen Chaos Snap's range reach that far.

>>537733764
is there any sonic character who is female that doesn't have eyelashes?

>>537733816
No eyelashes, male Sonic characters can wear clothes, they just don't wear pants or shorts

>>537733696
This better not be Shadow riding Tails again

>>537733753
Alright. Maybe it looks better when drawn differently, or without the headwear. I think it's hard to give a full opinion on the design based on this one panel

>>537733676
Gamedow would have had Lunar by the throat in seconds and the comic would have been over.

I'm not opposed to them nerfing Shadow for the sake of the story but they're inconsistent and the story is retarded.

Bro I like how the entire fucking issue was just completely pointless
Like you could cut away 90% of the issue and the end result would have been exactly the same

>>537733869
Eggman's been letting himself go more than usual.

>>537733929
>male Sonic characters can wear clothes, they just don't wear pants or shorts
The Conductor outright debunks this.

>>537733696
based femdom moment

>>537733942
He probably should have had just a muzzle colored triangle instead.
I'm still thinking it's part of his hat thougheverbiet.

>>537734084
You're right, it would probably look better if it was white

>>537733869
Kek I also thought that. Bad coloration choice for the scarf.

>>537733960
IDWdow jobbed to Metal fucking Sonic -- the alpha jobber. It was over for him by that point.

>mask party
>no orgy
Explain

>>537734053
Trans male, no weener

I love that IDW is so bad and the staff are so retarded that literally nobody here tries to praise it anymore. For once we all agree unanimously that something is garbage.

I'm still trying to figure out why Shadow wants to fight Sonic and Tails so badly in IDW. Like I think at most you could say in the games that Shadow views Sonic as a direct rival and will happily spar with him but he wouldn't risk his mission or the safety of the world on just throwing hands at him for literally no reason WHILE Sonic is actively trying to talk him down.

This is legitimately the behavior of an irl tard.

>>537734158
Left for the fanart duh.
How many dicks should be in Luna's ass?

>>537733696
I cope, I mope, my head looks like dope
I seethe and teethe, I can't breathe
I am the potential man, my life belongs in a trash can

>>537733913
There weren't any emeralds in Forces, which is the one game IDW used as a springboard for itself.

>>537734193
>male, no weener
males have penises

Well now that we've been able to confirm that business is usual in IDW, let's talk about other, more important things.

>>537734256
My headcanon is IDW Sonic has Roger's voice so he's REALLY obnoxious and you just want to fucking kill him

Look at Shadow's behavior in this issue and remind yourself that this is supposedly a canonically "extremely intelligent" character with an iq of 200

>>537734402
Yeah, like jerboa cock

>>537734345
Female, no weener then

>>537734158
>>537734263
>How many dicks
One for every hole, including the eye-holes on the mask

>>537734240
I just read it. I don't think it's good, but I don't think it's garbage either. It is very middling. I like that it's Sonic and Tails on an adventure trying to solve a mystery and help some kid, the execution isn't very intriguing though.

>>537734471
Shadow is a low-key gag character in the comic.

>>537734402
Tails could have cured Maria.

>>537734570
can tails cure cancer?

Shadow was clowned on in Archie and IDW is made by Archie alumni, so these issues make sense. Shadow is just seen as a tryhard to them in, and in Jap speak, that would make him a chunni.

>>537734516
In front of Maria?!

>>537734741
BEHIND maria.

>>537734549
The thing that makes me so confused is they tried to do two things at once, didn't bother making either story point interesting and made both of those plot points so worthless that the entire issue has no reason to even exist in the structure it's in. If they wanted a Sonic & Tails vs. Shadow & Rouge fight they could have made that the entire issue and made it a decent fight scene with more development. If they wanted the OC to be more intriguing and a better plot hook then they shouldn't have just revealed him at the end of the issue like they did, at least save that for early next issue so there's something for the audience to be hooked on.
Then the switch of focus to Eggman in the last frame was also a showcase of how useless all of it was because they could have instead just started the issue off literally right off the last panel and made a story that actually went somewhere.

Not even good kush makes IDWslop tolerable. Damn...

>>537734808
She's too wide to get behind

>>537734668
He chooses not to so humanity can learn suffering.

>>537734549
The comic should just quit the whole mystery premise in plots. It's not good at them.

>>537733421
This makes no fucking sense
Why are they marching on foot, for hours, when it could be an aerial assault?
>Muh surprise attack

Imagine actually getting paid to write something like this.
>they don't get paid that mu-
THEY GET PAID FOR THIS!

>>537734878
Don't test me.

I bet you this entire storytline is just to introduce IDW's equivalent to Archie's Egg Bosses if Clutch's status is anything to go by.

>>537735053
Kit's advantage is being small enough to get inbetween any cracks

Sega should just pay me every writer's check to scribble out random nonsense instead.

>>537735104
Including surge's

This is what westniggers want when they say Shadow should move on from Maria

>>537735159
This, at least it would be funny

This should be Evan's last arc. Just bring Barnes in and see if he can actually "bring the hype" or whatever like he tries to claim. If he can't, we'll just have another writer to shit on alongside Ian and Evan. It'll be the Three Stooges of Sonic comics.

>>537735163
literally the only thing appealing to Shadow is his heart and Ian and Iizuka keep cutting it out

Why can none of these niggers write for shit and why is it getting them promoted to work on game content

>>537735163
He isn't proposing to Rouge, so I doubt it.

>>537735163
i am absolutely wary of people who want Shadow to forget Maria because of IDW specifically

>>537735247
Which one of them is Curly?

>>537735326
They should get Yuki Imada to write and storyboard for the games

>>537733421 Heres the synopsis of issue 82 >The Celestial Troupe strikes back! Sonic and Tails thought they’d be in for a fight with the mysterious thief Lunar, but what they really should have been worrying about was Lunar’s family! Meanwhile, Shadow and Rouge are still on their trail. >As enemies close in on all sides, will they be able to make it out with the Chaos Emerald and discover what’s really happening here?

>>537735283
>and Iizuka
It's not his fault bro

>>537735163
Silence anti white faggot

>>537735326
Because they don't care how little they're paid. That makes them valuable to corporations. You have no idea how available you get if you have no self-respect and accept pocket change as a wage.

Here is the synopsis of issue 82
>The Celestial Troupe strikes back! Sonic and Tails thought they’d be in for a fight with the mysterious thief Lunar, but what they really should have been worrying about was Lunar’s family! Meanwhile, Shadow and Rouge are still on their trail. As enemies close in on all sides, will they be able to make it out with the Chaos Emerald and discover what’s really happening here

>>537731019
On review, SHE

https://youtu.be/H-Zn98RCIHg

Where did the obsession with Shadow forgetting Maria start? People claim it's from Shadow the Hedgehog but even in that game he says he's here to fulfill his promise.

>>537734991
Eggman also has had cloaking technology since Sonic 1, when the robots he built weren't even intended for combat, just for finding the emeralds.
Newtrons can turn invisible, possibly even intangible since you can't break them by attacking where they were last seen, they're only vulnerable when they are also visible.

Open wide, sthg

>>537735473
IDW is an anti white comic. IDW staff hate white people. If you defend IDW you are brown.

Post the gif edit jerking off sonic snd knuckles

>>537735783
The what now?!

>>537735585
It started after it became clear that there are romantic aspects to Shadow and Maria's relationship, which triggers jealous shippertards who want him to love a different character.

>>537735829
She's been dead for 50+ years tho

Shadowbros who read IDW are basically begging for humiliation.

>>537735931
...And?
He still loves her.

>>537735763
Cute, is this official

>>537735585
Well first he LITERALLY forgot her in Heroes, seems to have recovered somewhat in Battle, then Shadow ends with him basically saying "I'm never gonna get my memories back oh well", then he didn't do anything meaningful until SxSh when they just retconned him back to what seems like Battle status.

>>537736045
He can still fall in love with someone tho right? It's not like he made a vow to fuck her dead body exclusively

>>537735829
pathetic

>>537735931
I genuinely believe Shadow's love for Maria prevents him from ever having a real romantic option ever again.

>>537736135
Probably not. Nobody could ever replace Maria. It would only get in the way of his mission to date somebody, he would consider it pointless. Even if he did somehow decide to date a girl she would always be second place in his heart.

>>537735462
Remember when you thought Sonic was the planet protector? Sorry, that's Shadow now too...

Keep going Iizuka, let's port over all of Sonic's actual personality to Shadow. Then I can just pretend he dyed his quills and changed his name between Mania and SA2.

>>537736283
hfomabros...

>>537736283
>Sonic was the planet protector?
the fuck is this cope? he was never that because that is not what it means to be free like the wind
Sonic is the spirit of the wind

I liked Shadow in 06 unironically.
He works for GUN
He occasionally teams up with Rouge and Omega
He works alongside Sonic when the stakes are right

>Shadow should move on from Maria
What could Maria be preventing that has anons upset? Hmm...
Does it prevent him from being cool? No.
Does it prevent him from going on adventures? No.
Does it prevent him from having a new story arc? No.
Does it prevent him from talking to people or having allies? No.
Does it prevent him from fucking anon's waifu? Uh oh...

The consequences of shadamy are unspeakable

Shadow fell for Maria because he hadn't yet been wounded by the trauma of the Ark raid, he didn't understand was loss felt like until he failed the one person he was created to save.
Even if he met someone like Maria again, he wouldn't let them into his heart like he did Maria, it's simply too late for him to do that.

CTRNF's Pitstop was functional before MTX were added, none of the prices were so high that you couldn't unlock everything in it just by playing casually.
They only added the Microtransactions after they got the good review scores they wanted.

>>537739394
Nobody knows. T

here isn't any proper team mechanics like in Team Sonic Racing. Other than Cortex and Crash getting separate talking masks, its all the same "beat Oxide" no matter who you play. At least Crash Nitro Kart did the team gimmick better along with giving original cutscenes depending on the team you are playing as.

>>537739779
>>537739301
Yup
This is the only thing that can kill Crossworlds and all the good will the game has right now
It would be the biggest most stupid move SEGA can do.

>>537739864
>isn't any proper team mechanics

>>537726862 (OP)
Pomni?

>>537739779
That's actually standard Activision bullshit. They did this in Call of Duty first i.e. launch the game clean then add season passes and microtransactions later.

In CTR:NF's case, they made the microtransactions worse.

Team Sonic Racing had a "Credits" system that you used to play gachapon and get new parts for your cars. It's in-game currency.

>>537740959
I see. Thanks

As a Shadowfag I want any future projects focused on him to try and craft a new cast for him instead of re-using the existing one.

I'm sorry, microtransactions in a game that's NOT free? Is this a thing? Am I so ignorant? No, it must be sthg who is wrong.

This is a lie.

If you're shipping characters then you don't respect them.

I'm not talking about giving him companions or exclusively about the movies interation of him, just the cast used in a story he protagonizes for.
Like making a new antagonist instead of using Eggman or taking Witchcart or having a different human deuteragonist instead of Tom and Wade.

So is lunar even going to be a long lasting character? It feels like they killed the mystery early.

>>537742787
uuu kys

>>537743043
He'll more than likely be around. Just like with Belle.

>>537743043
>>537743246
Dreadful

How the fuck did an AI come up with a more interesting plot where Sonic and Tails have to infiltrate a circus?

Lunar was such a nothing character Sonic had to fight team dark more than them.

Don't tell me Evan is making another character who we feel sorry for because the comic says so.

If Sage don't crumble Belle like this i don't want them to interact

>>537743578
Evan mostly does uwu wholesome stuff and you are expecting her to emotionally torture her oc with sage

>>537733696
Reference?

>Metal confirmed to be the black sheep of the family thanks to crossworlds
yeah i am thinking BASED
That sibing shit with Sage is now OOC.

>>537744515
any time a fandom meme comes up (shadow hates tails, amy is the new maria, or anyone trying to invent a new take on "Sonic is the wind" for other characters) I just dismiss it as utter bullshit.

>>537744224

So is Lunar just a character who we have to feel bad for 20 issues

so its obvious the lunar at the end is not the same guy they were chasing throughout the issue right

The meta era was the lowest point of this franchise and we're lucky that it survived. If you feel pessimistic about the series going forward, never forget how dire things were in the 2010s

>>537748035
That idea didn't cross my mind at all, so I guess the answer is no.

>>537748225
I loved the 2010s! Things were great back then!
It was an Era focused on Sonic and Tails and their special bond and their long-time rivalry with the nefarious Dr. Eggman Robotnik!
I wish we had more peak! Sonic Prime was great because it in many ways reminded me of the PEAK (meta) era!

>>537748303
he complains about the mask, is intimidated and surprised that Sonic is the person chasing him, isn't even sure if its a chaos emerald and doesn't know how he ended up with it.
The second Lunar i is a decoy who was handed a fake chaos emerald to take Sonic off the trail

>>537748409
Yeah, I think you made a good point, I'm just saying it wasn't obvious to me because I didn't think of that, and there could be other explanations (like being manipulated/hypnotized or something).

Based Tails you can tell Ian didn't write this

>>537748387
this pic but me on the left and bump on the right

>>537748387
It was the era of Tails being written OOC and verbally fighting with Sonic while sidelined in the cutscenes. The only game that fits what you described is Sonic 4 Episode 2.

You're using your brain, we don't do that here but yes, that's obviously not Lunar they're talking to right now it's their sibling

i like sonic forces

>>537749450
>what if SA2 but worse plus Colors but worse plus Generations but worse plus an undercooked avatar system
I kinda like it compared to the rest of the meta era, but it has nothing to offer that other games don't already do better. And one of those games is Generations, which was already a lame rehash of prior games to begin with

>>537749450
I hate you >:(

>>537749450
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>537749573
it was clear they still wanted to do something cool and edgy, but western localization babyfied the story and kishimoto babyfied the gameplay so it just ended up pathetic

>>537740321

>>537741346
No. It's like Kingdom Hearts where the characters footwear don't impact their stated heights. Sonic, Shadow and Silver are always the same height regardless of the shoes they wear.

It's Sonic RAAACIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

I think Eggmoon was a great episode and a perfect template for comedy focused on Sonic

ALL AROUND THE WOOOORLD

>>537746205
This is why they future retconned him. Imagine Blaze's world having Nega versions of every Eggman related character.

>>537750308

So is the un-brainwashed sugar glider still Lunar or was that a made-up identity?

>>537750129
Shadow Nega?

>>537750308

They should give Eggman Nega a name

>>537748035
but they killed mimic

>>537727068
I don't think Archie is a parameter to anything

In the games however Tails did get two spin-offs featuring unique villains, with the Kukkus being brought back in Blitz. So I think he could carry a small scale game on his own. Amy too though she doesn't have much of her own

>>537751423
With his future origin I'd figure he'd have his own name. If he's from the Sol Dimension his name would be Ivo just like regular Eggman.

>>537752082
>I don't think Archie is a parameter to anything
Preboot Archie is still the most thoroughly fleshed out Sonic universe to exist, better than the games, fleetway, X, or the movies.

>>537752556
Is Archie just used as blatant ragebait here?

>>537752692
Yes it's used to infuriate windfags

>>537752556
Ok... And it still isn't a parameter to anything. I didn't say anything about worldbuilding. And honestly Archie's worldbuilding just isn't that interesting, it's just a bunch of shit stitched together. And worldbuilding isn't that important to me as long as the individual stories are good

>>537752692
What do you mean? How am I ragebaiting?

>>537752832
this confuses me

>>537752836
>Ok... And it still isn't a parameter to anything.
It's a parameter to show how Sega could handle their side cast and expand their lore
> I didn't say anything about worldbuilding.
Character spin off stories would naturally necessitate more world building
>And honestly Archie's worldbuilding just isn't that interesting
Certainly better than anything the games, X, fleetway, or movies gave us
>it's just a bunch of shit stitched together.
It isn't, nice try, this actually applies to the games more than it does Archie. Hence the endless retcons in the games
>And worldbuilding isn't that important to me as long as the individual stories are good
world building is part of what makes stories good, hence why IDW feels so hollow no matter what they do, since their is no actual weight to anything they do.

>>537730702
>2nd panel

Treating Silver as a ship kid outside of the context of satbk is the most annoying trope in this entire fandom. You are literally worse than snapcube.

>>537752934
>Literally just shit on the games, Fleetway, X and the movies.
>Not ragebait.
Although, there is a high chance your post isn't in good faith as well and just trying to fan flames.

>>537752926
No I don't.
>>537752934
I know that some people hate archie, but the fact that they refuse to give credit where credit is due is so pathetic. The Archie comics objectively have done alot of things better than the games, and other Sonic continuities for that matter.

There's a reason why so many fan comics, fan animations, and fanfics take heavy inspiration from Archie, but not so much from X, fleetway, or the movies.

>>537753080
everything gets shat on in here bro. gamefags shit on everything that is "not canon" and moviefags think the movies are peak Sonic because it makes the most money. if you feel the need to get triggered it's your problem.

>>537752836
Dude, he's trying to create conflict by starting a continuity war. There was zero reason for him to mention those other Sonic media out of nowhere like that,

Since I assume most of you posting aren't american to be around this early, what are you up to /sthg/?

>>537752930
it doesnt matter when you can chaos control a baby to the future

>>537753080
>Literally just shit on the games, Fleetway, X and the movies.
Pointing out that Archie has aspects of it that are better than fleetway, X, and the movies doesn't equal to me "shitting" on them. Don't be so fragile, my guy. It's just a fact that Archie treats it's sidecast, world, and lore far better than any of other Sonic continuity has to this day.

>>537753303
Cute bestie

>>537753362
You can get your point across without putting down other media. You clearly aren't being subtle here.

>>537753303
>what are you up to /sthg/?
shitposting

>>537753062
you think so? maybe is as simple as having a new character to the main cast, having her interact with all of the sonic characters and is just funny having a loli drive a car that looks like one of the enemies

>>537753457
That isn't her name nor I am your bestie
>>537753502
Why is there a screenshot of this?

>>537753462
Actually, that's impossible, since comparisons are naturally about comparing what is superior and what is inferior. And in terms of the world building, the actual stories being told, and the way the side cast is treated, it is a simple fact that Archie was better then Fleetway, X, and the movies. You know that yourself, hence why you are so upset.

>>537753683
Yeah, you're definitely trying to stir conflict.

I just found an image of Amy wearing Maria's clothes and being fucked by Shadow
Is this in-character

>>537753683
now make linlin wear sally's actual outfit

>>537753342
Silver was born in the future. That's why he warps back there at the end of 06.

>>537753761
>pointing out facts means you're trying to stir conflict

Holy fragility. If I say the movies saved this franchise, that's not me insulting the games, that's just a fact.

If I say that X is what made Sonic popular with many kids in the early 2000s, that's not me shitting on the games, that's just fact.

I have no problem admitting when other Sonic continuities do things/sell more than Archie, yet here you are fucking FUMING just because I rightly pointed out Archie's strong points.

You're clearly some fag who's butthurt some shitty american comic handeled the lore, world, and characters of the IP better than the japanese side ever has.

>>537752556
>>537752692
Nah i unironically agree. I got super invested in later preboot archie , a lot more than most of the game stories

>>537753683
I'll respond sincerely just for the sake of it. I have consumed nearly every piece of Sonic media there is, as well as the cited inspirations for each.
I like most of it. I am no purist. I've been able to enjoy Archie, Prime, Boom, Underground. I've found a little something in each I can like.

Honestly though? I like the games most of all. I think there's a massive powergap between the games and other media. The two latest manga have only recently started to close that gap.

I can totally understand the appeal behind Archie's world.
Unlike the games it isn't a series of standalone projects with references to each other. Unlike the IDW comics it isn't a strange frankenstein of enforced canon and authorial freedom. But I still don't like Archie's world.
It feels like the setting only became treated as a consistent and lived in space after Ian took over, before then it was very much a session of authors trying to iverwrite each other, Penders copying concepts over from DC, botched political commentary (This also survived all the way into the Ian-Yardley era) and unexplored concepts.

Like Hope Kintobor's similarity to Maria, there is no shortage of happy accidents that make Archie look more cohesive than it is.
I don't find myself getting upset that it's not a straight depiction of the games, I'm fine with that, but I just don't like it. I like parts of it. I like the aliens introduced briefly in the early 2000s. I like that you can map out where the characters reside or hang out. I don't like the alien origin story for mobians. I don't like the incessant connecting of everything (The Robotniks) to the Acorn throne. I understand why these things were done. Don't like them.

And I have to acknowledge the elephant in the room. The Super Genesis Wave, when taken at face value, is a complete blight on the story. I like the reboot far better than the original run but it's impossible to overlook what a dark and gross concept the SGW is.

>>537754378
Anything related to having sex with other character probably is not in character. But I noticed a handful of fanart that depicts amy as some sort of reincarnation of maria or someone who is really similar to shadow. But that might be just amy x shadow shipper mentality.
>>537754462
oh hey cutout anon. I hope you are doing okay, I had messy sleep myself.
You do really wonder a lot about myself sometimes, huh?

>>537754290
Uh huh. Sure.

I just think the comics are cringe

Central Theme:
A question often asked in this game is whether or not one person should suffer for the good of the world.
Since Elise is used as a living seal for Iblis, the world is safe from destruction, but she obviously suffers from it and has to force herself not to cry so as to not release the god through her tears.
After being confronted about it by Amy, Silver wonders whether or not it's right to kill Sonic to save the future
Silver is reluctant to seal Iblis inside of Blaze, thus sending her into another dimension and out of his life, even though doing so will keep the world safe.
At the end of the game, when Elise has to blow out the Iblis Flame to stop it from ever existing, she is hesitant to do so since that will erase the meeting between her and Sonic.

>>537754850
06 is too nuanced and complicated for its own good.

>>537754606
>I like the reboot far better than the original run but it's impossible to overlook what a dark and gross concept the SGW is.

Based. I fucking love preboot and I'm sure the reboot is good, I've read parts of it and have heard many good things, but i just can't bring myself to fully read it and enjoynit because of what was lost. Especially with shit like how the echidna's were handled nesr the end of preboot; it makes me reel that so many plot threads and characters had to have been forcefully forgotten by everyone, and it killed the comic for me.

>>537740321
Shadow is Sonic's height
Rouge is taller than Sonic, shorter than Knuckles

I don't know why everyone assumes or wants Rouge to be Amy's height.

>>537754606
I am the same. I'm not a purist either, the more Sonic, the better. I love seeing these characters in new scenarios and settings. It's why I love fan comics and fan animations, since it's pretty much just that.

What's annoying is when autists come along and act like we need to worship the games as if this is some sort of religion and that the games are obligated to be liked because they're "orthodox". It's so weird to me.

Also, let's me real, if Archie was such shit, SEGA wouldn't have hired Ian and Evan for IDW or the games now. It's obvious they did something right with Preboot if they're still working with SEGA 13 years later.

Yeah, my main problem with the games after 2009 is their reluctance or inability to be interconnected like the Archie plots were. The games from Sonic 1 to SATBK were loosely connected to each other, unlike everything post-SATBK. although recently it seems they're trying to go back to that. However, Archie, even before Ian came along, still had some good stories, though yeah, Ian's clean up project of the preboot lore really makes alot of the Bollers/Penders content better in hindsight imo

I know this is a tough pill to swallow but Rouge is taller than Sonic and Shadow regardless of her shoes.
Yes, logically her shoes should mean she is shorter,. But you're looking at her character model and assuming it makes functional sense. It doesn't. Her official height is taller than them.

>>537754850
Silver sacrificing Blaze is undermined by the fact she wasn't in his life in the first place.

>>537754970
At least we have fan comics for preboot, like Sonic Retold or Archie Sonic Online

>>537755283
It's muh tanabata.

>>537755279
Very tough pill to swallow indeed. I'm not sure I'll get over this anon, you could've at least warned me to sit down before you told me.

>>537755261
Archie is pretty terrible though

>>537755261
That Sonia sure looks familiar

>>537755396

>>537755261
>Also, let's me real, if Archie was such shit, SEGA wouldn't have hired Ian and Evan for IDW or the games now. It's obvious they did something right with Preboot if they're still working with SEGA 13 years later.
It's because Archiefags gaslighted Sega into believing the fans wanted those hack writers on anything outside of Archie. They're only kept around because they're cheap.

>>537755476
Yeah, that's pretty cringe. I hate it.

/sthg/ is not gonna love Archie no matter how many times you call other continuities shit, call Ian a genius, or say how the cringe ideas were actually epic.

i hate sega because they didnt let archie conclude sonic underground but opted for a weak metal sonic story for sonic universe #50

>>537755468
how?
>>537755485
lol here comes the cope.

Why is Jet so FUCKING COOL?

>>537755391
also when sonic collects rings, they aren't added to his body mass. they just disappear and there is no explanation for the physiological status of them!

>>537755649
Why care about a conclusion when none of the original people involved were writing it?

>>537755649
There's a fan comic from ASO that actually gave underground a conclusion in case you didn't know

>>537726862 (OP)
Is that a boy or a girl?
>No eyelashes
Its a faggot!

>>537755279
Yeah the character heights aren't adjusted to their shoes. Blaze in her sneakers is just as tall as Blaze in her high heels.

>>537755389
The tanabata shit is external to the narrative and has nothing to do with the actual story and actively works against it. Silver's story in 06 is so poorly written that people assume she's from the future because that would actually make sense.

>>537755879
Yeah, I wouldn't know
Why would I care about some fancomic

Shadow loves Maria.

>>537756108
i usually don't fight sonic attractive at all but this pic is making me feel things

>>537755617
This. I'm sure another board would be appropriate to discuss that part of the media

>>537749883
>the characters footwear don't impact their stated heights. Sonic, Shadow and Silver are always the same height regardless of the shoes they wear.
That sounds stupid, so let's look deeper into it, if Shadow wore shoes with 5inch platforms, his legs would look proportionally shorter by 5 inches, just so he keeps having the same height as Sonic and Silver?
Sonic's already 3'3", if he would shrink by 5 inches when wearing 5 inch platform shoes, that'd make him look 2'10" but in dumb shoes.

I want, no, *need* to see how this works in an illustration, words will not and cannot do it justice, I need a fucking diagram. Do stilts count as shoes? What happens if Shadow wears stilts that are taller than Sonic is?

THERE WAS NO "PROBLEM" WITH AMYS CHARACTER, SHE WAS CUTE, SILLY, FUNNY, AND CHARMING, HER WANTING TO DATE SONIC WAS A GOOD RUNNING GAG (literally) AND THERE WAS NO REASON TO STOP DOING IT OTHER THAN SOME FUCKING FEMINIST OR JEW OR BOTH WHO NEVER EVEN PLAYED THE GAMES COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AND COULDNT ACCEPT THAT NOT ALL ART EXISTS FOR THEM SO THEY DESTROYED SOMETHING I CARE ABOUT.
I WANT AMY TO BE OBSESSED WITH SONIC
I WANT SONIC TO RUN AWAY FROM HER BECAUSE HE THINKS SHES ANNOYING
I WANT IT TO BE A FUN RUNNING GAG LIKE IT WAS BEFORE

>sending her into another dimension
Blaze sends herself to another dimension, Silver can't bring himself to do it. She goes Burning Blaze using the Sol Emeralds and seals herself. All these plot points gets dumped onto you before you even have a chance to process what the fuck is going on.

It's also not even clear why she needs to be sealed into another dimension. Like it almost would have been better if she had kept Iblis and then stayed away from Silver because she feels for him; that would actually be better for the tanabata thing. Instead she just abandons her people completely, apparently with the Sol Emeralds which would destroy the Sol Dimension according to Rush. Maekawa only gives a fuck about muh themes and he was better suited for the storybook games where his autism was self-contained.
