boards.*4chan.*org/co/thread/99815256 remove the asterisks. Fair warning: 4chan users are very crude so you might see some unpleasant comments in-between posts. I might have exaggerated on the "flirting" but the bickering is definitely there.
SPOILER WARNING! I’m going to commentate on some panels ^^; ALSO- PRECIOUS ANON YOU ROCK, YOU ARE MY WORLD RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This is great! Not only is there character explanation going on, but there is also a dynamic clearly set up and evolving through the comic. She’s slightly frustrated with him and he’s blatantly doing his own thing (dismissing her complaints?). How cute is that? :D <3 <3 <3 It’s a good take on their old dynamic. Keeping some original stuff from canon, I see…
I love Sonic’s finger-walking gestures xD This is a real concern and Amy acts very cutely with her disappointments! It’s definitely more mature, but still ‘cutesy’ and I like that they retained that part of her character :) Showing more of her ‘smarts’ you could say. She really is, naturally, a born leader and well put together, Sonic just makes her weak-in-the-knees, so to speak lol
What a wonderful way to segue into her duties and how important she is. Strategy/Tactician is definitely good traits to count on with Amy. And you can see them really working together too.
Amy’s natural commanding/demanding spirit has been usually shown in negative ways like ‘bossy’ and ‘over-the-top’ or ‘uncaring for others vs. her own’ kind of way. (Cause she is caring!) I’m glad this shows the positive take on Amy’s ‘strong’ presence instead of what is usually perceived :)
EXCELLENT. The bottom panels gets me every time too. Sonic’s showing charm. Comradery with Amy. They’re talking and discussing it out. he’s told her what he’s doing and she’s agreeing with not changing him (And loving that about him) and they’re ‘tag-teaming’ which is honestly so beautiful that the writer gets THIS is Sonic and Amy. They don’t just always clash, though they have different priorities sometimes or what have you. They’re actually pretty unified. (though bickering happens with those you love most lol)
I’ve always headcanoned they have moves together, this made me so happy. They’re having FUN together. Sonic has FUN with Amy! People don’t seem to think that way about them and it’s sad. So this was important to set up ‘connection’ from the get-go. Well done.
Amy’s ‘pushiness’ is perceived well once again in a ‘comedical’ but not degrading to the character way. It’s shown in a sly, almost cheeky way which adds to the sass of Amy wanting it her way, but accepting Sonic’s lifestyle just as much as her own way of going about things. (Later on. lol referring to the comic as a whole as I go through this.)
Again, they’re TALKING. It’s a DISCUSSION. No one is controlling and this is extremely healthy for any type of bond/relationship with characters! They’re friends! They could be more! But look! They can talk things out!!! So crucial to include this.
The subtle flirting is genius, they’re working together, and their dynamic is almost spot-on to proper building. I’m just so… -sniff- happy. They can tease each other, it also shows that both parties are comfortable around the other. It’s a funny dynamic, but it’s a healthy one nonetheless. A mutual admiration and respect. Sonic compliments Amy (implied impressed) and Amy accepts Sonic for who he is and his ways (Implied romantic love.) but she kinda makes that obvious lol xD She’s flustered, that works for me. Different, nonetheless. But works for me :) I think it works for Sonic too xD
Mentioning Amy’s expert aim in the next panel made me so happy. He recognizes her strengths, and he happily charms her when the moment strikes him too. Gucci. 👌
Fawning fangirl has now grown into flustered crush. … I can dig this. Make her blush, Sonic, and I’m glad he looked spooked at her holding his hand awhile back too… it shows that he still reacts to her XD That’s important. He has to be affected by her charms too. (Shy boy? lol Awkward, yes. But reacting! haha)
AUGH. So important. SO SO important. He offers her to come along. He ENJOYS her company. (Flirting hint! He likes her too! He got a little flustered and charming back!)
“Heh…Well…It’s not like it’s all or nothing. You could come with me.”
OH MY GOSH. YOU SMITTEN CAUSE THE CUTE GIRL SAID SHE LOVES YOU FOR YOU. lol (He totally wanted her to come with lolololol But he was impressed and understood she chose the resistance over it. IT GETS LONELY HITTING THE ROAD BY YOURSELF, HUH, SONIC?! -I’m gonna give this Sonic a hard time, I can tell XD but that’s a good sign I’m enjoying myself!-)
She’s valued to him. And she willingly declines over the needs of others besides her own selfish interest in pursuing Sonic. SHE BRUSHED OFF TEMPTATION. She’s matured, he’s obviously fancing her, there is a definite ‘build’ to ‘romantic intrigue’ that can be touched upon based on this ‘building’ of their core dynamic. Well done! (Professor Oak’s voice from PokeSnap.) 👏 👏 👏
So cute. HAS TO BE METAL SONIC. That’s where my money is. I thought Infinite… but now METAL SONIC. MY BOY. YES. You didn’t realize Amy grew so much stronger. I’m so happy. This was so much fun. Until we come together again ;Db
