Exclusive Clip!
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 | Exclusive Clip (2024 Movie)

We got a name

>The Sonic mystery woman appears in Tokyo during Sonic and Shadow's fight in Sonic 3. It translates to Professor Tori (literally means "Bird") and a date reads 12-30-24.

The UK premiere of the movie happened. So watch out if you care.

I think the name Tori has appeared before, according to the wiki Gerald Robotnik's journal sent to Tower is signed "Tory" In Japanese instead of singular T it has english.

>>11950
It matches up, I thought it meant Tails at first.

>>11950
It is! I was going to storytime Gerald's journal this weekend, but the note to Tower is written by someone close enough to the Robotniks to refer to Gerald on a first-name basis and to be in lawful possession of the journal after it was recovered from Eggman's base. It's also written in the style of an emotionally mature, non-egotistical and intelligent woman (as apposed to Eggman, who writes like an intelligent self-centered child). Another interesting thing is the writer of the note doesn't seem to have any sort of personal relationship to Eggman, referring to him as Dr. Eggman. Here's the note for those interested:

>Commander,

>Your request for tangible evidence of the ARK incident fifty years ago produced very little results. Your predecessor was quite thorough in erasing the cover-up operation. However, Prof. Gerald Robotnik's personal diary managed to survive. Ironically, we have Dr. Eggman to thank for finding it at all. This journal was recovered during the investigation of Dr. Eggman's stronghold following the latest incident with the ARK.

>Unfortunately, time and tragedy have not been kind to the journal. What you're holding now is all that remains of the original book. I'm afraid there is no way of recovering the missing pages, nor can I restore the damaged or redacted elements. It's a pity, as I would have very much liked to have greater insight into Gerald and Maria's lives too.

>Regards,
>T

>>11951
Now that'd be a twist! Tails is way more polite and energetic in his writing though and this person writes as if they have a long-term (likely professional, but that could just be due to the content of the letter) relationship with Tower. That would line up with Maria's sister as Maria treated Tower like a younger brother

Shut up IDWnic, no one cares.

Although Sonic's extended friend group seem to not hate the guy for what that's worth.

>>12161
Spoil your shit faggot
Fucking metal jobber lol, and yeah I think she looks fine. Amy is kind of team in Sonic's team comp as she like Knuckles is also a brawler with magic(?) powers, but unlike Knuckles she actually has a reason to be involved most of the time.

>>12164
>>12163

>>12163
Movie spoilers
lmao, 11 trillion Metal Jobbers. Did Flynn write this scene?
>>12164
Movie spoilers
Asian Amy? More like Pink Shadow amirite? They seriously gave her angular seme(top) eyes to Sonic's uke(bottom) eyes

>>12164
Don't let her around any dogs hew hew

>>12164
Sonamy will finally be canon outside of Sonic Boom and the old Nicky manga.
Which means
Sonadow had its fun. Time for Sonamy to take the top spot again.

>>12164
Nod to Metallix?

>>12170
That's a lot to infer from her killing jobber Trash, but these are kids/all ages movies so I doubt they'll get together in anything but a noncommittal, no labels, eye contact and a date way,

>>12170
Sega of Japan wants to erase romance and personality from all characters. Same reason why they want Sonic to have no family and home but those are things Sonic has in the movies because Paramount as well as any other Western company adapting Sonic thinks he should have in addition to love interests. Western Sonic almost always shows romantic interest in girls. Japanese Sonic? Not so much.

>>12166
>>12170
I really dont get the fans who still hope for something good and inovative out of Metal Sonic. When has that character been more than just an Eggman minion fodder ever since his Sonic Heroes days ?

>>12173
I hope romance isn't a thing for that Sonic. He might be a Western Sonic, but it doesn't feel right for him.

>>12175
Amy's only purpose is romance.

>>12176
Her purpose is being a girlboss now.

Green Hill's looking a lot more like Sand Hill right now
plus4chan's looking a lot more like REDACTED4chan right now

>>12168
>Which means
Here lies our dear Konductor, viciously murdered by a horde of angry fujos
>>12170
I'm hoping that won't be the case and they actually give her a personality and backstory beyond generic quipping action girl that's just as tough as the boys. Also, they already gave the becoming obsessed with Sonic after cyberstalking him from across the stars backstory to Tails
>second spoiler
On the plus side, those re-writes did clarify the reason Knuckles gets so mad at Sonic is because he ate Angel Island. Deepest lore!
>Still looking forward to the movie and I hope it breaks a billion.
Same. I'd watch anything with Carrey but even the scenes without him have been fun
>>12171
Honestly, adding in a girl Hedgehog is the only way to sidestep implying Sonic and Knuckles are experimenting. Tails has seen lots of other Foxes (and is probably too young for romance) but Sonic and Knuckles are older and have seen zero fluffy women. Without Amy (and Shadow), Sonic and Knuckles are literally the only option for each other. Yet another reason they should've added Rouge
>>12172
I'm still mad ;_;
>>12173
It's even worse. [spoiler]SoJ wants the franchise to feel like it's got all this deep lore (and the writers and even Iizuka clearly want this), but also want things vague enough so they can pivot the brand to pretty much anything. They've also got the awful habit of trashing anything they feel doesn't work, as if the fans can't handle multiple continuities. It'd be bad enough if they wanted to bury all Western continuities prior to IDW, but they won't even acknowledge the OVA or Sonic X anymore
>Japanese Sonic? Not so much.
He flirts in the various manga (and even had his own groupies in the first one!) and had the hots for Sara in the OVA and Elise in 06. You could also argue there was some romantic attraction between him and Blaze in the Rush games. Obviously he flirts more with Knuckles in every continuity except the OVA (they're both into Sara) and Underground (Knuckles kisses and dates Sonic's sister instead)
[/spoiler]
>>12174
In CD he had a cool design, was a genuine threat and had a similar personality to Sonic. Heroes built on this by making him a world ending threat that outsmarted Eggman, thinks he's the real Sonic and had a cool T-1000 liquid metal body. Now he's just a silent jobber with no personality and it sucks

>>12176
>>12177
WRONG!
Her only purpose is tarot now!

>>12178
Huh. I guess the spoilers don't work across multiple lines if there's a quote in the middle. At least the one that broke didn't have any movie spoilers in it!

>>12178
When does Knuckles date Sonia ?

>>12177
How /v/ of you to think so

>>12176
Damn, Sonic sure is lucky, he gets Amy and Surge. Two girls literally made for him.

>>12179
I don't get the problem people have with the tarot cards. It's just another tool she can use like her hammer, and being the magic one gives her another angel to work with. Honestly I'm not a fan of her movie hammer being mechanical looking, it should have always been a magic squeaky hammer.
If only the writers would do something, anything with her.

>>12179
>She already has wine aunt hobby.
Sad.

>>12182
She took down multiple robots on Sonic's level. What else am I supposed to think?

>mass produced metal Sonic
>Metal Sonic not jobbing
>Metal Sonic ever being comparable to Metal Sonic.
This level of delusion could only come from one person, is that you Metal?

>>12181
They're explicitly dating in the Tamersverse (i.e., the one true canon), but it was more implied in the original show. Their kiss is the last time we see knuckles, but we don't see Sonia flirt with anyone else in the final 10 episodes. If it hadn't been canceled, the next season would've had more episodes with Knuckles and more focus on their relationship
>>12185
>spoiler
I'm fine with it being something she can do, but it's not enough to be a primary personality trait now that they've removed the Sonic obsession. Even Boom Amy had multiple interests (arts and crafts, interior decorating, fuzzy puppy buddies, local politics/activism, obsessing over Sonic). I just don't like that she can turn her tarot cards into a car. At least give her a whole set of stage magician powers!
>>12186
lmao. That's the problem, she's went from boy-crazy as a hobby to a given up on boys spinster hobby
>>12187
That Metal Sonic's a jobber

>>12190
Why do you like Tamers so much his videos are just fart jokes plus doesn't he hate Sonic?

>>12190
I think the easiest solution is that Amy just learned over time that being too direct will just make Sonic scared and flee due to his fear of commitment. So she still tries to come onto him, just not as forcefully.

>>12187
That Metal's been a loser for a while/she whupping on copies

>>12191
TLDR: I get bored easily and Tamers produces something completely unique and absolutely compelling at a rate that puts every animation studio to shame

It's a lot of reasons really. I'm genuinely a fan of Sonic Underground, particularly its retro-scifi aesthetic and sense of progression (there's much more focus on continuity and progression than SatAM). Not to mention best boys Sleet and Dingo!
I've been a fan of Tamers ever since I caught this video around 8 years ago: Sonic the Hedgehog watches his lover, Bartleby dunk some balls.
I liked the unrepentant enthusiasm for the ship and the unique artstyle of pasting MS Paint drawings over stock photo backgrounds and had to see more. After watching the more episodic Sonic the Hedgehog - Great Cereal Crisis I was hooked. The comfy slice of life drama paired with over the top anime fights and early 00s Internet humor is extremely compelling and I think a lot of people just get filtered by the fart jokes and TTS voices.

I also like that despite the often bizarre and violent world the characters live in, the relationships are all written with care and a sense of realism that's genuinely better than anything you'll find in mainstream media. Knuckles and Sonia's relationship is extremely cute, but has a lot of ups and downs, with a common thread of them both trying to work out the sort of people they want to be, which causes them to drift apart as much as it draws them closer together. Aleena is a woman plagued with guilt and regret, having gone from Queen of Mobius to working class suburban mom trying to raise 3 strangers that are almost adults, all without the man she loves more than anything.

Sleet and Dingo are obviously my favorites. Mainstream media is terrified of showing anything but happy out and proud gays that never face any real discrimination and are essentially perfect. Sleet and Dingo constantly bicker and even betray each other despite loving each other dearly. They've been together for a long time, but until recently Sleet was still in the closet so they would fight whenever Dingo publicly expressed affection. This out x closeted relationship would've been resolved with Sleet coming out at the end of the episode if it was a mainstream show, but that's just not how real life works. Spoilers for how it was resolved: Sleet was in the closet for so long because he was almost murdered and gang raped when Dingo outed him in high school. Dingo did save him, but he never really got over it. It wasn't until he'd seen Sonic and Bartleby be affectionate in public, had a talk with Sonic about it, and had to defend Dingo's life that he was able to feel comfortable with himself. Importantly, he never actually makes a big public declaration that he's gay, just that Dingo is his and that he'll keep him safe

Also, Tamers doesn't hate Sonic. He hates modern Sonic. He's fine with the classic games, AoStH and SatAM, but doesn't bother with them since it's time that could be spent watching Sonic Underground

>>12195
I'm kinda surprised we've not seen anything like that in the Sonic franchise before. Mephiles does build himself up from a bunch of smaller shadows in his boss fight with Shadow, but we haven't even seen Badniks combine to make a larger robot. Eggman's probably a massive weeb so you'd think that's the first thing he'd build

>>12164
well I accidentally spoiled myself but luckily wasn't anything major, will say stuff shown here is pretty solid.

>>12156
it's not pointlessly cruel is it's at Silver's expense

>>12201
I'll be honest in that I hate all forms and iterations of Silver with the deepest bile in my belly but he's very much a character that feels like they don't know what to do with or how he's meant to be and is there out of obligation more then anything.

>>12201
How Shadow and Silver turned out is funny, Shadow became ruder and Silver became nicer.
Maybe they really are related?

>>12202
Fair enough. Sometimes a character just rubs you the wrong way. I do agree that they've got no idea what to do with him. He was supposed to have his debut game in 07 but after 06 bombed it obviously got cancelled. The only evidence we have of it was his VA putting it on his resume so they did get far enough to record lines. My guess is it would've solidified him and Blaze's roles in the franchise. Blaze's gameplay is suspiciously better working than Sonic's in 06 so she was likely going to be a playable character along with Silver. There really is a massive void around those two characters and a canceled game where they explore Blare's world would explain a lot
>>12204
lmao, I love how annoyed Iizuka gets when someone asks if they're related. I agree about Shadow, but Silver's only nice in the comics. He's a cocky prick in Team Sonic Racing. Here's some of his more zesty lines:
>Great! I'll take it!
>I won't let you slow me down!
>Let's show these guys some Ultimate power!
>Make way for the superior team!
>Move it!
>No defense against Ultimate Power!
>That wasn't very smart, Tails!
>Unf! We were allies once, Shadow!
>You'll wish you never challenged us!
>Back off, Shadow!

>>12216
I like these mobianized robots, Neo Metal is especially sick here, it would be a great design for Neo Metal Sonic 2 since the design really looks like someone who wants to be Sonic but cooler, but is actually Sonic but lamer.

>>12228
>someone who wants to be Sonic but cooler, but is actually Sonic but lamer
That's an absolutely perfect description of Metal. Sonic never tries to be cool, he's just a guy that loves adventure so his coolness is unintentional and effortless. Metal's so preoccupied with trying to be Sonic but cooler he's completely oblivious to everything else and keeps making the dumbest mistakes. In CD he copies Sonic's cool poses and spends the entire race showing off his own cool moves only to get trash compacted at the end because Sonic just focused on the race. In Heroes he tries to beat Sonic at friendship by copying the abilities of Sonic's friends, only for Sonic to share his super transformation with his friends and them to beat up Metal as a team.
Metal only has himself to blame for being such an absolute joke and that's why he's one of my favorite characters

>>12230
Funny, Sonic but lamer can also ne attributed to Surge, Scourge and to a degree, Shadow and Silver.

>>12231
It's the best descriptor for Metal since he tries to be Sonic. Shadow is something like a mid point between Vegeta and Piccolo while Silver is just kind of there.
Meanwhile Surge is just a mentally ill woman who likes attention and wants to have fight-sex with Sonic.

>>12201
Silver's well was poisoned before Evan.
>>12227
The issue with Silver is that everything about him is very contrived. He's the combination of Knuckles/Blaze's contrivances to appear in a story but worse. A short term character that they want to stretch indefinitely. This is why they don't know what to do with him so often, he's not built for it.

>>12227
I genuinely wish Blaze's world got more use since we've had Silver slurp up spotlight and his setting milked for all it's worth while Blaze has gotten scraps and is barely relevant in any of the comic adaptions, prime would've been perfect for her to appear but that show also really became tiresome on season 2.

It's been forever since watched Tron Legacy, I've also not seen Trong Uprising beyond Paige being fuckable and clips of Tesler being an awesome villain with good ol Lance Henrickson as his VA, that guy instantly elevates any bad guy

>>12239
Lanolin would sooner take her husbands tentacles down her mouth then ever do that to him!

>>12237
Blaze's world will only get more if they see money into making another game in it.

>>12239
It seemed insanely rushed, like they were just trying to tie up all the loose ends as quickly as possible.

>>12247
I don't get the rush really, they already missed the year of Shadow so they can't do any tie ins, there's already a Japanese SonicXShadow tie in. As well as pushing the Rogues for the tie in with the next racing game.
So maybe they're just rushing to a new status quo and time speak for post Frontiers, although that would make Surge look even more pathetic as by that time Sonic and Shadow both would have 2 transformations.
Super Sonic 2 and Super+Doom Shadow. Since his winged Doom form is treated like a Super transformation it's probably his SS1 equivalent now, and he goes Super while in Winged Doom form, only he doesn't get a color change now, which is lame.
Not to mention that Sonic and Shadow get stronger in between games and are already much more powerful then their base selves which boxed perfect chaos and metal overlord.
Honestly Surge is pretty hard to take as a threat, even if she has 'hurt' Sonic, just because we haven't been given a good reason to think of her as a threat.
There's a reason Toriyama's editor kept riding his ass about the androids until me made Cell.
In a bright side this stuff makes me fired up to write even more fanfiction lol.

>>12248
I'm reminded of a Roger Ebert quote about the film North: "There is an idiocy here that seems almost intentional, as if the filmmakers plotted to leave anything of interest or entertainment value out of these episodes."

IDW is like that. It's like the writers are intentionally putting out the most boring, low-effort shit imaginable.

>>12249
>Shadow
I honestly shudder to think what'll happen to him in future issues, given how IDW has portrayed him so far. I want to believe that he'll be written better after SonicXShadow Generations, but IDW has never been anything but a disappointment.

>Honestly Surge is pretty hard to take as a threat,
Exactly. She jobs about as often as IDW Shadow has. It's like nobody in the comic is allowed to be intelligent or badass except for Sonic and Eggman.

>In a bright side this stuff makes me fired up to write even more fanfiction lol.
Honestly, the past 14 years of media have really changed my opinion on fanfiction. I used to hate fanfic, but after seeing IDW Sonic, the MCU, the DCEU, the Star Wars sequels, all the shitty sequels to 80s franchises, the Hobbit trilogy, and so on I really can't honestly say that fanfic writers are any worse than the professionals are. They're honestly better in some cases. So go write to your heart's content; it can't be any worse than what the "pros" are shitting out.

>>12231
lmao, they're all some of my favorite characters! Well, Surge is kinda trash in the comics but actually interesting in fan works
>>12232
I wish they'd stop writing Shadow as a humorless grump. Even Piccolo and Vegeta crack the occasional joke

>>12235
>Silver's well was poisoned before Evan.
Agreed, but she's ground zero for uwuver
>The issue with Silver is that everything about him is very contrived
Honestly any character can be compelling in the hands of the right writer and we certainly didn't get that for Silver. He's got Sonic's act first, think never attitude but without his emotional intelligence, Knuckles' stubbornness and gullibility but without his sense of duty and specialist knowledge, and Shadow's cool powers and tragic backstory but without his own Maria o center him. All this along with his zesty personality should make him a very unpredictable and versatile character, but they just do nothing with it. Even something as simple as him being a psychic that's as dumb as a bag of rocks could lead to some interesting stories
>>12237
Even Silver's future is barely touched on outside of 06. We know it's terrible in Rivals, but peaceful in all the other games. I agree about Blaze though. We need a 3d game where she's a major character so we can finally see more of her world. Prime would have been a great place to explore it. I'm still mad they didn't just treat it as a love letter to the wider franchise and have Sonic and friends visit a different continuity for a few episodes Sliders-style and give the fans a satisfying conclusion to the ova, SatAM, X, Boom and Underground.

Tron Uprising was surprisingly good, highly recommend. There's like a dozen VAs in it that I absolutely love. It's even got Frodo and 7 of 9 from Star Trek! I'm looking forward to Tron Ares. It's got Jared Leto (aka best Joker), Evan Peters (best boy from American Horror Story) and Gillian Anderson (from the X-files)

>It's like the writers are intentionally putting out the most boring, low-effort shit imaginable.
To be fair, SoJ did want them to work more closely with Sonic Team, and they're the masters of that! Sonadow Generations is absolute trash and I'm still mad about it. Even the music's a downgrade. It's literally the only Sonic game I CBF finishing, and I've completed 06 and Rise of Lyric!
>Honestly, the past 14 years of media have really changed my opinion on fanfiction
I've been a fan of fanfics since I was a kid, mostly because it was the only place I could see same-sex romance. It's a shame it gets such a bad reputation, since a lot of it's genuinely better written than most mainstream media. 100% agree on recent media. The Hobbit and LotR are some of my favorite books, and was so relieved the LotR films turned out so great but the Hobbit was just terrible and pointlessly stretched out. Same with Star Wars. I'm a prequels apologist and I just found the sequel films overproduced and boring. I hear the shows and comics are pretty good though, and I did love Star Wars Visions.

Lien-Da and Surge have been so much fun

That makes sense

That's what I was planning to do! I'm also planning on fixing the code so I can actually archive /sssr/ again. Fingers crossed I can remember how the code works ;_;

*Shadow part I mean

>>12262
lmao I'm glad someone enjoys reading them! I actually skipped the Sonic/Classic Sonic parts since I've already played them and would just get mad at the dialog changes. I did find it funny they were so bad at making the changes it's now canon Knuckles is angry at Sonic for eating his island though

As for the Shadow part, I found the soundtrack remixes genuinely terrible. I can forgive a lot of things in a Sonic game (buggy gameplay, short/boring levels, bizarre overcorrections to appease non-fans, a lack of Sonic and Knuckles kissing) but Sonic games are supposed to have excellent music. A lot of these tracks had been remixed before (the Biolizard fight music sounds great in 3DS Generations, as do the remixes in the Shadow DLC for Forces) so they had no excuse. I'm not a music expert, but the tracks just sounded off, or had really weird style choices. That wistful and melancholy piano track from Frontiers getting sped up and dubstepped was a crime. Also, they removed Right There, Ride On ;_;

The levels were fine, but nowhere near the expansiveness and ambition of the original Generations levels. Generations had the best level design of any boost game by far and we didn't get that here. They remade dozens of levels from 3d Sonic games in Frontiers so it's not like they're out of practice

Gameplay was a huge letdown for me. They have the code for the combat-oriented Frontiers-style gameplay and yet we're back to Forces/Generations physics inside the levels again. They did let Shadow use the Forces gameplaay in the hub world but his combat's far worse than Frontiers!Sonic. It was genuinely more fun to play as Shadow in 06!

What disappointed me most was the Alex Mercer Doom™ Powers™. Shadow doesn't need wings, he's already got rocket boots and the ability to teleport, and he doesn't need to turn into a tentacle monster, there's plenty of smut about that already (seriously, there's at least 3 high quality doujins/fan comics about that). The real reason they're doing this is classic Sonic Team overcorrection

StH got criticized for having poor vehicle controls, and while they were fine in 06, the game was a flop so they're afraid to touch on those gameplay elements. They've tried to smuggle the vehicle sections back in with the doom powers, but ironically the controls for them are absolutely terrible. I actually gave up on the game when you have to fly up to the big floating eyeball in the hub world because the controls were such unintuitive dogshit

The whole premise of the plot was misguided imo. I get that Generations is a game that looks back on previous events in the franchise, but to go with the most predictable "Doom's back and trying to control Shadow again while shadow broods over Muh-Ria" was lame. At least switch things up and have Shadow pull Gerald and Maria into the present. Cause some actual change to the status quo! I did at least like the part where Rouge and Shadow switch out Sonic's emerald

I'm also not happy they shrank Rouge's breasts and covered up more of her cleavage. I may not be into the ladies, but she's one of my favorite characters. I love her confident femme fatale vibe and think it sends the wrong message that a person can't be both competent and sexy. Also, they covered up her back so now her wings clip through her clothes, which is such a rookie design mistake

>>12264
I just hope it allows her to be more like ABT's take on the character
>𝕏 discourse
Finally someone else is having fun with unicode symbols!
>Love bad girls so much.
They're the superior choice! Comics are supposed to be fun (take notes IDW!) and a guaranteed way to inject a sense of fun into the story is for the villains to have an absolute blast being degenerate gremlins. Having Kit, Maw and Kragok being the straight man to the more exuberant Surge, Starline and Lien-Da really helps make them shine I do hope Regina shows up sometime

>messed up spoiler
ahhh whatever

>>12261
>I unironically believe IDW is doing a good job if it causes more people to make fan works
At the very least, getting a lot of fanworks means people like the premise or the characters from whatever they're making a fanwork of.
Just looking at ao3, there are 2252 Sonic IDW fics with 644 and 633 being Whisper and Tangle respectively, 368 being Surge. Searching by other and genre tags gets us around 586 total works in the hurt/comfort/angst triangle with 200~ of them being Whisper, 190~ of those works being Tangle, and around 100~ of them being Surge.
There are 313, Canon Divergence or more story focused fics, with 118 of them having Whisper, 107 of them being Tangle, and 102 of them having Surge in them.
Surge being less popular isn't surprising, she came out in the third year of publication and Imposter Syndrome led into the fourth year of publication. Whisper and Tangle being more popular for their uwu lesbians thing isn't surprising, even if Whisper does just bring Tangle down. That's kind of just what happens to lesbian couples in male dominated franchises
But Surge seems to be pretty popular for more story based fics, about a third of all fics with Surge in them are story based and a third of all story based fics involve Surge despite her being half as popular as the next two IDW characters individually.
Although none of that is really surprising.

That X user has a point, but it's more of a symptom of a bigger issue with tone and how violence is portrayed in different genres. Sonic, especially in the games is very shounen.
So attempted acts of murder are brushed off rather easily, especially if a person looks like they're going to try better moving forward. Just look at all of Sonic's friends, they've all tried to kill him except for Tails, and Eggman in SA2s ending.
I think no matter what it needs to be not swept under the rug and have them just all forgive each other, Lanolin needs to change in response to this or it's just a nothing burger of a plot. Honestly I think about any direction could be good as long as it's written competently and Lanolin struggles.
>hate Lanolin more than him.
I don't think Mimic should hate Lanolin, if anything she's a huge help so he should like her.

>>12259
>So are Rough and Tumble good guys now? With Clutch out of the picture Eggman's the only villain left
Honestly he's the only one who won, it's in his best interest that the Restoration and Clutch wipe each other out and working with him was dumb in the first place. Sonic just got luckily this didn't backfire more and both Lanolin and Surge would be justified in being mad at him, especially Surge since the same Sonic who talked down to her is just being buddy-buddy with Eggman.
Although really this is Clutch's fault for being an idiot, and also a bit of Surge's and Kit's for not slapping his idiotic plan down when they first met him.

>>12271
I love how they went the path of shipping. I want to see how it starts in Frenzy. They've got to make children for those two.

CERO & The ESRB. Example, You know how Smash when introducing a character or cross promotion go "Smash Bros. X Kingdom Hearts" for example? Apparently, even acknowledging a M-Rated title can fuck with the ratings: that's why we got silly ass "Smash X DANTE" in North America.
>>12269
IDW is another case of missed potential in this franchise.

>Sonadow Generations is absolute trash
I'm sorry man, that sucks. I was actually planning on getting that. I should've known better than to think some nostalgia remix of a pre-existing game would be worthwhile.

>the Hobbit was just terrible and pointlessly stretched out
The Hobbit is literally my favorite ever fantasy book, and the movies are some of the worst I've seen in theaters. The third one in particular is basically just one long CGI fight scene. It's excruciating.

>I hear the shows and comics are pretty good though, and I did love Star Wars Visions.
I've thought about trying to watch the shows, but it's just hard for me to care about what happens now that Luke and Han and the OT cast are dead. I never thought that any of the other Star Wars media had a set of main characters as compelling as Luke, Han, and Leia.

>>12279
Ooh, that looks like fun. Can't wait to see how IDW will fuck it up!

>>12279
I'm glad IDW didn't get overtaken down by the year of Shadow. He gets enough as is, and we don't need another comic getting interrupted by a fad.
