Sega really are going to make them canon characters, aren't they?

>If the company that owns something
Should they own it? Suits at sega didn't make or even program Sonic. Half of them probably don't know what it even is beyond being one of the franchises on their spreadsheet.
Do you really want those lardasses deciding what's canon or not?

Well, according to the artist that drew her, Whisper IS black, so I wouldn't doubt it.
Tangle is supposed to be "Italian" though, or at least Italian-American

Not what happened. They're against established characters getting into relationships like the shit Archie was pulling. The writers were able to make a gay couple and a non-binary character with no issues.

Yes, unfortunately. Sega would have been completely fine with them being in an established relationship, but it wouldn't have made sense for them to be.
>>732221030
There is literally a canonical gay couple in an issue. Two guys who are in a relationship.
>>
>>
>>732220861
It has less to do with their sexuality, and just the fact that them being in a relationship is an already established part of their character.
If they're introduced as a couple, it's fine, but Tangle and Whisper weren't.

It’s been nonstop content for these ugly dykes lately. Years of neglect for the majority of the game cast but the red carpet treatment for these pointless unappealing comic OCs that can’t stay in their lane like the freedom fighters slop did. Genuinely the shittiest era of Sonic yet. What a dogshit start to this blue rat’s anniversary.

Pretty dark and depressing overall. At times it's by far the darkest Sonic's ever been, and at its best it's a short break for the characters to discuss their immense trauma over the latest disaster before the next horror story arrives.

I'm still confused about how that game managed such a positive fan and critical reception.
I had only played a month or so after launch and missed the DLC, but what was there was pretty whatever. Big, empty hub world, barely existent story, Amy ruination continues, non-speed mode that wasn't fleshed out enough as is tradition (the combat), individual levels that lack all personality and are just reskins of shit we've seen before, said levels are pretty forgetable due to not embracing 3D and using largely 2D segments still.
Hell, the fishing mode makes it clear how trash the rest of the game is as one full loot cycle with big lets you skip half the "content". Not to mention having you fish in the actual open world may have been to interesting so it's a good thing they avoided that.

I still think it's a considerable insult for Sonic Team to add crap like Pac-Man and Spongebob instead of actual beloved Sonic characters. I know it won't happen, but if the playbase bolsters after whisper and tangle it could determine the future for this franchise.

You guys think they're going to do a 180 and start giving voices to the dlc characters starting with them? Or maybe just these 2 because they're part of the main castlike it or not?Or most probably they'll be voiceless until a few months later when they finally start to give everyone voices in a free update.

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. She's not the spunky energetic newcomer anymore.

I hope so. Aside from Creeper and maybe the Pac-Man characters, the DLC characters should all have voices, even if it's only a few lines and sound effects. They feel less fun to play as knowing they should have voices but don't.

knuckles is important for any angel island ancient civ shit
shadow is too useful and has to often be writtent out
rouge works for espionage even better than the detective team
tails exists so sonic can talk to someone
silver is actually useless and shouldnt even be in this time line. they should use him properly and have him come back when the future gets fucked because of something relating to an event in the current timeline and that is literally the only reason to bring him back

I think it's necessary because Sonic might discover stuff incidentally while destroying things he dislikes, but he probably isn't going to follow clues or put things on a cork board. You could argue Tails would do that I guess, but Chaotix exists so Sonic team can write Lupin sometimes.

He took the words out of my mouth.
But to add, the people who were complaining about Amy's character were actually just retards Like Ian and should have been ignored. A ton of people loved Amy's character. And anyone who has actually played the games, knows she's multifaceted. The people who complained, were the ones who either didn't play the games, or are so hopped up on feminist juice, that they couldn't comprehend her character outside of the stereotype their programming told them she was in.

I noticed that too. It could be because Vector's the only intelligent character of the group, it could be because of the insecurity angle they're playing with him, maybe it's just bad writing, or maybe that's not Espio?
I'm genuinely curious who the thief is though. Mimic feels like the obvious choice if someone's going around disguised as other people (plus Whisper and Tangle are apparently involved and he's basically their main villain at this point), but since his flight core was blown up he wouldn't be able to imitate Rouge and he probably couldn't bust that door down. At this point the only feasible culprit would be Neo Metal since he has all the necessary powers but you'd think Eggman would know in that case.Whoever it is, I suspect that that's not the real Sonic locked up with Vector though. Just a hunch.

This. People are being massively disingenuous and as I said above, would have been mad no matter what SEGA did as they don't actually care about Amy, but only want to find reasons to be upset. Though I will say that Arnold didn't know Helga was a stalker. Honestly as much shit as I'll give the characterizations in Lost World, Amy was perfect in that game.

I don't know about Battle of 06, but she was good in Heroes and Unleashed. What do you think was wrong her depiction in heroes. Let me guess "She only cared about being with Sonic". The entire narrative of Heroes was much simpler than the previous games. So every character has simple, single motivations. Wanting to find Sonic is no more or less of a motivation compared to the others. And her motivations is *supposed* to be silly. That's the thing a lot of people don't understand. You're *supposed* to roll your eyes, "oh Amy..."

I love their characters and designs, and don't care if they're gay or whatever new boogeyman people believe these new days. I didn't even know they were considered gay from just reading the comics.
>but the flags!
You think I'm losing my time scrutinizing a comic for something I don't care about?
>but they're holding hands!
Friends do that all the time (female ones at least)
What I'm worried about is if their voices will be a good representation of their personalities. But I'm pretty sure I can get used to them with time anyway, since they do tend to change characters' voice actors from time to time anyway.

The only good IDW character but they still completely fucked up the blatant design philosophy of the series which is making each character have distinctive features, even the 3 fucking hedgehogs who are supposed to look similar took liberties.
Surge having Blaze’s high ponytail hairstyle is retarded, and I can’t believe they did it twice with Whisper who is even worse since she also has Blazes side hair shape too. Actual uncreative tranny morons. At least glad best girl Amy’s design hasn’t been aped yet.

I'm under the impression IDW is boring and not worth reading. I enjoyed Archie Sonic so I'm not inclined to believe that impression entirely if there's any similarity in the way characters are written, but Ian Flynn appears to be a hack now so I dunno, I really need to give it a shot.

As is the standard with EVERY licensed property to ever exist.
SEGA telling them not to show Shadow renting an apartment or living in a regular suburban household isn't "really zany", it's perfectly acceptable for a character like Shadow that always has a goal in mind and never rests unless he's forced to.
The fact that the animators chose to go about this by having him loiter in a cave instead of having him actively wandering the world as if he had a goal in mind, shows that the animators are also morons who missed the point entirely.

>>732246370
The problem is that Sega never lays out what they can do with the characters until they ask if they can do it. Like Shadow's entire backstory can't be referenced at all? Which I guess kinda can make sense since this is specifically the Boom version of Shadow but then what actually is his deal in the Boom version? What is his goal that you think he has? Sega doesn't know or care, they just want money, and then wonder why the people the license to adapt their properties decide to adapt their properties.
And this is especially frustrating if the people adapting the video game property tries to reference something from the actual video games and get told no sorry that doesn't count anymore. What does count? We're not telling you.

Not really. The stories are predictable and melodramatic, and all the new characters introduced in the comics are incredibly inconsistent to the point that the writers couldn't even agree on how they should act.
The lemur is a wannabe hero with a stretchy tail she swings and hits things with, The wolf has a wisp gun that can use multiple wisps and is sad because her anti-eggman team got murdered, and the green chick was hypnotized, brainwashed, and turned into a cyborg by a gay platypus so she could kill Sonic and Eggman for him. That's all you really need to know since SEGA has full ownership of these characters and can change them on a whim, so you can probably save yourself the hassle.

Penders can fuck off, but that list from Graff is annoying because multiple points are things that Sega did in their own games. If you're going to have people adapt your games in other media, then they need to actually be able to adapt the games instead of Sega going "no that stuff doesn't count."
>>
>>732247436
The majority of those are perfectly acceptable expectations, the ones that are questionable are all stem from the "two worlds" nonsense from when critics where whining about green eyes, humans, and Earth, and the rest is clearly whining from the writers that hate that they can't do whatever they please despite the fact that they're working with characters that aren't fucking theirs.

Archie was given no information on Sonic Adventure and was expected to churn out an adaptation on a deadline. they had to import a Japanese copy of the game and have the one guy in the office who sorta knew Japanese play through it and guess at what was happening in the story.

A while ago, I left the Sonic community (in the sense that I lost contact with friends who I used to discuss the series with) and it made me realize how juvenile Sonic's content and its community are. The movie director(?) supporting transgender mutilation fanart? The plethora of artists, who have drawn official media, spewing fag propaganda? The they/them nonsense coming from the SEGA higher-ups themselves? Character design censorship? I used to care about all of this, but now that I can take a step back and look at things objectively, it was silly for me to be so invested in something with the same sophistication as Barney or My Little Pony.

Does anyone else feels like Sonic became TOO "shit-talkie" lately? I don't know if it's the script or Rodger Craig Smith not doing it for me anymore but Sonic seems less like a "Hero with an attitude." and more like "He's sort of an asshole." It feels more pronounced in Crossworlds; many of his rival dialogue feels less like friendly banter and more like ...condescending quips, bordering on insults.

Everything you’ve listed alongside the fact that Sonic is becoming less of a video game franchise with multimedia content and more of a multimedia franchise that happened to start off as a game, getting more and more westernized, the top YouTube results when you search Sonic is Cocomelon tier garbage and AI slop and it’s fanbase turned into a Steven Universe type fanbase on top of Rebecca Sugar herself doing the music for Chaotix Files, I’m low-key starting to convince myself that Sonic isn’t for me anymore.
It’s never gonna go back to the 2000s Japanese anime windkino I loved so much as a kid, I might as well just stop caring about Sonic at this point and move on to better franchises that actually know what they’re doing and how to cater to me.

Idw makes more sense when you realize the writers dont understand this.
The focus on OCs and the downplaying of the game cast is because they aren't able to be any real steaks because it must return to game status quo. The way to get around this is to make the Journey of the OP game cast fun yet they choose boring OC melodrama instead
