hot take:

Infinite would be much more interesting character then Shadow if sega decided to bring him back

It's peculiar that the same people who will shout at people who criticize the comics for not drawing Silver's eyes correctly will go on and on complaining over and over again of how Sonic's design sucks because they used a different tone of blue for him or gave him shorter quills

It's great that people agree sending death threats and bullying the writers is an awful thing that NOTHING justifies even if you don't like their work

I just wish less people turned the blind eye when Pontac and Graff were the victims. Where were the longass moral speeches when they were the victims? Only the "lord and savior" is worthy of the decency of posionating against the toxic behavior of fans?

I'm always baffled at how some people only hate Sonic Prime because Ian Flynn wasn't involved.

At how they went from avid defenders that could skin me if I dared to share a single critic about the show to rabid haters that will call me dumb and synonyms possible and skin me if I say I enjoyed the show after the day Flynn stated he wasn't as involved as everyone thought.

To these people the show's flaws aren't the reasons they didn't like it, just convenient vehicles they use as a justification to their irrational shift

The lack of japanese gijinkas in the western side of Sonic fandom is definitively curious considering the franchise is japanese

Why do they seem to only be an option for Espio? Why is the "default" for some characters, like Tails, Cream or Mighty persay, seem to be white american or european?

⠀

[sonic-takes]

Prime has its flaws, but the reason most people hate on it is because their beloved Ian Flynn was not actually involved in it and that's insufferable

Just replacing Elise by other female character doesn't fix '06's story magically. Imo, it just makes it worse

With the way people talk I expected Sonic to be a mess but I think Sonic actually is one of the least inconsistent series I've ever had contact

Stop trying to fit the gameverse with any other continuities and things fit well at most of time, yes we still have some inconsistences, but they are not 1/10 of what the people act like they are

cannot stress how much I do not intend hate here, but I have never been able to think of blaze and silver as a romantic pair. Like they are so platonic life partners to me, like I see fanart of them kissing and stuff and think wow they’re such good friends :)

if you’re going to insist sonic x is totally canon just because sonic team worked on it then you’d better accept idw is canon because it has those that work on sonic games now and stated to be canon by sega as well then

⠀

[sonic-takes]

current shadow is just boom shadow tacked onto game shadow with how much he’s total dumbass asshole now

⠀

[sonic-takes]

if you’re fine with sega characterizing shadow as a disconnected edgy loner that only cares about beating sonic and is an asshole about it then you’d better fine with sega characterizing amy as a passive level headed mom friend then

Forever disappointed that Surge got a redemption arc and that the one person causing problems between her and Kit now IS KIT

She had so much potential, we could delve so deep into her psyche, but no, let's waste it all.

In other note, I hate any "sToP aSkInG fOr pRoBlEmAtIc WoMeN" post pointing to Lanolin, I DID NOT ask for her, I asked for female villains. I was happy to receive Surge and they took away what made me happy about Surge.

there should be more honey the cat

everyone reading this should make more honey the cat

i agree.

[sonic-takes]

If I were the responsible to demand the corrections from IDW crew I would be so annoyingly strict. I would be six times as strict and limiting as people claim Sega to be now. I would make people demand Sega to fire me.

Wish more people would realize Shadow was never stated to be a fifteen years old and have never been assigned a precise age at all, as well as his 50 years since creation were NEVER used officially as a metric for his age
