kek hell no. but palestinians don't have saudi oil

as it so happens, the mcmahon-hussein correspondence was part of when the crown decided to install the saudi royal family

the balfour declaration was when the english crown and rothschild bankers decided to create israel as a colonial satellite state to maintain capitalist control of the suez canal

it really depends on how capitalists can exploit resources which far right muslims get supported vs regular people who live in the middle east

P.S. CIA also helped saddam hussein take power because leftists had taken power from a monarchy before him.

But because all it ever produced are worthless Donut Steel OCs, neither Sega or fans want anything from it in the games.

Those excited for Tangle and Whisper gaining more ground as "canon" characters are just a bunch of tumblrinas and twitterfags excited at the notion of "confirmed" lesbians inside a Sonic game.

The OCs are ways to get around mandates and let IDW write what they want instead of actually Sonic. That's why Tangle and Whisper appear over double if not triple the times by now than more restricted characters like Shadow and Knuckles. I think Lanolin passed them already too.

I agree about the second part but aside from Whisper's team they really don't do anything with the OCs that they couldn't with the games cast which makes the OC focus even worse.

I have seen people cast Brenda Song as Tangle, but I don't know if Sega would go for that.

Because they can do all the little things the mandates forbid. They can make them cry, make them gay, and kill them, though with them coming to Crossworlds, the mandate hammer will probably starting coming down on them too. Better get back to the drawing board to make new OCs to replace the old OCs meant to replace the main characters.

Bud the fucking Chaotix themselves, actual game characters, barely get any time in the actual games, and you think their cute appearance in a random podcast makes them inducted into the game?
The Sonic community is the only type who'd be this desperate to take a one-off podcast and treat it as gospel. Though I guess this does mean they could get voice interactions on the Crossworlds DLC, so that will be less embarrassing. Or now even doubly embarrassing if they are released as mute Gmod-like skins the same month they get voices.
I expect them to be casted with generic VA you've heard a million times in other roles and for them to vaguely hint at a lesbian relationship, but in a way that's not commital because Sega doesn't know how to feel about that.

There's some good stuff in there. But his IDW stuff in general just reeks of poking at what he doesn't like instead of finding what he does. That's the core of why people dislike it: it's very negative and nasty and can't commit to its ideas because they're against the nature of the brand.

No, that's Amazing Spider-Man.

>>152371691
He also does the typical gen x/millennial thing of 'ruining the magic' on purpose. Eggman causes trouble and Sonic stops him, it's a perfect formula that just works, instead he's called attention to it like it's an unnatural cycle that needs to be broken and so now we also kind of have to see it as a problem because the story does. It doesn't help that he also shows Sonic willingly let Eggman get away because Eggman always gets away, but this ignores the fact that Eggman usually gets away/returns on his own and not specifically because Sonic just happily watches him go. It's just misunderstanding fundamentals of the franchise then acting smart for it.

They are the worst kind of gay, the type that the writers want to make canon, but the company doesn't. So they are this awkward "sort of but not really" situation where they can say things that MIGHT be interpreted as romantic, but also not. Basically what Adventure Time and Steven Universe had back in the day. Really it'd be easier to say it's not canon and put all the queer rep you want, but they wanted it to all be canon, so they fucked themselves. On that and everything else really. Maybe one day Sonic fans will realize that.

Tangle and Whisper aren’t gay. Just like Nite and Don. Both are just really good friends according to Sega.

>>152372113
>>152372163
>>152372191
There was a total drama season where a girl told a chick "you like me don't ya" and they ended the season as BFFs. Until I see a kiss and a date, they ain't a couple. I know the writers want them to be, but ultimately the big company doesn't want it. And if they can't confirm Sonic X Amy or Vector X Vanilla as official couples, what makes you think these two nobodies from the comics will?

>>152369736
Too much baggage, Archie has longed since burned the bridge with SEGA, DiC officially no longer exists.

Nite and Don were pitched and accepted as gay, Tangle and Whisper were not pitched as gay despite Ian and Evan desperately wanting them to be gay. That's the difference, that's the truth, and you're just going to have to accept that.

Can't Evan just introduce one or more new OCs that happen to be lesbian? Why do they NEED it to be Tangle and Whisper?

>>152371657

Tangle doesn't really serve much of a purpose anymore. She was created to be an audience surrogate character to get new and returning fans up to speed.

All she has left is being Whisper's tard wrangler.

>>152372640

But there was a reason, Ian asked "Can Sonic be like he was in Archie, pretty please?" and Sega said: "No.", so he went and threw a tantrum claiming Sega and its mandates limit their creativity.

>>152371407

Are you that surprised? This is the same fandom that take the voice actors doing non-sense improv as canon, just look at those who swear Shadow "I just love Latinas" Hedgehog is official.

>>152372806
Except the official Lore Master explicitly said that Chaotix Casefiles is canon, the Twitter takeovers have no such thing.

And the Shadow Latina things is completely fan-made.

Oh and Belle is jealous and keeps trying to act like she's better than Sage which feels like Evan seething. Of course she starts crying because she thinks Sonic likes Sage more.

Call me assumptuous but I don't think Evan would risk lying about her employer Sega on a public forum.

>>152373220
I doubt it. Even if he did survive being smashed by rocks he would still be mindbroken that all his plans and creations failed miserably. That was the whole reason Ian killed him off in the first place, the character really has nowhere to go.

No, he was killed off because SEGA found out his writer was a hypnosis fetishist.

>>152373827
Anon he was killed off because People were complaining that sonic IDW had no stakes so ian decided that it was a good idea to just kill off starline that pretty much it.

>>152373821
Then why do they never act gay? Why don’t we ever see them actually act like a couple? If Evan finally got her fujo dreams to come true you’d think she’d be showing their gayness off constantly instead of them being put in the background and inoffensively calling each other “dear”.

It took Sega years to notice that Ian was creating his own headcanons of their characters on his podcast. Tardwrangling their gaijin on social media just doesn’t seem to be high priority for them.

That first panel is 100 percent traced stock art. This comic has almost never drawn Sonic like that before this.

>>152373837
Ian’s Belle and Evan’s Belle are basically two different characters. Ian has a tendency to write all his female characters as girlbosses while Evan writes them as sad crybabies. Same thing happens to Surge.

>>152373883
Belle is Evans self-insert, I'm pretty sure she doesn't let Ian touch her

I still get the strong feeling it was Gigi's. Gigi was 1000x more obsessed with Lunar than Evan was, talking about him constantly. And Gigi has convinced Evan to put his tranny characters in the comic before (her gross buffalo avatar). Evan might've just taken Gigi's OC suggestion and added her own "abusive" parents to it

Its a pointless endeavour because Eggman will always come back as he is the main game villain, so its stupid to criticize a "cycle" that is the foundation of your entire franchise. Just like how its pointless to make him do really evil things like the zombie shit because he will be invited to the racing game next time. If they wanted to do that type of storyline, then dont connect it to the main canon.
I know one of the Mega Man games did that shit of "stopping the cycle", but at least in that game it was one short scene that was over quick. If that had happened in IDW itd be better than all this passive-aggressive shit.

>>152371691
>But his IDW stuff in general just reeks of poking at what he doesn't like instead of finding what he does.
At this point I'm not sure what Ian actually likes, or Evan for that matter.

>>152371784
No, because the comic is boring filler with no hype and the references are just the most mundane things or song lyrics. Saying they're shaped like your favorite character doesn't work either because the comics is restricted from using like half the characters from the games and the other half they barely use over their OCs because they can't insert their own gay headcanons onto them.
