Mimic had to die the same day all the major youtube uploads of the Ultra series did to....was gonna rewatch and catch up on Return of Ultraman/Ultraman Jack.

Is it a hot take to say that i found his death disappointing?

>>19681
Naw, we all did. If anything, we were all rooting for him to kill off Whisper so we'd never have to see her cry again and something would actually happen in IDW Sonic.

He survived and will be combined with Starline as one being.

>>19685
it's alright, even being my fave of the IDW characters didn't protect him from their biggest faults with new characters or anything regarding how they execute villains and arcs.

>>19689
I feel like IDW doesn't have balls to do good stories, and it's not because they're trans.

THE BIGGEST OOF OF ALL

>>19693
That's rough

Fuck yeah

>>19701
Rouge, why would you think OMEGA would be "sensitive"?

>>19800
lmao. You know, Sally being an important figure would probably cause women to start wearing less.

>>19802
Best fish princess! Too bad her family seem like assholes.

>>19801
Sally was the trendsetter for equality in mobian minimal clothing.
>>19804
They seemed to lighten up after the corruption left and Chaos was there for emotional support.

>>19808
>went on a tirade because the artist didn't draw a ship one time
Someone his age should not be acting this way.

>>19677
Such a lust for revenge

>>19811
Kragok literally got a goon squad as back up.

>>19809
what ship?

>>19814
It was sonally, and get this, the artist draws a great deal of it already. Yet he still decided to do that.

>>19817
So how is the final product?

>>19818
Oh I didn't order it, although I was tempted, this is just off of Penders' twitter. By all accounts they did a good job of printing it, but the recoloring of old issues just rubs me the wrong way

A “What If Penders wrote IDW?” Thread

>>19820
And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling anons, and your mangey Konductor!
>>19821
Why do I know so much about these fictional Echidna? Send help! Some notes:
Athair's now in the correct spot as Knuckles' great grandfather.
Janelle-Le (the first female guardian) was depicted as several different colors, but IIRC never pink until flynn wrote her.
Most would think that Sojourner's supposed to be after Janelle-Le, but instead has been switched with the sexy purple Thunderhawk. This is actually the correct order. From the letters page of KtE#21, it was initially (from oldest to youngest) Specter, Sojourner, then Thunderhawk but the infamous family tree has it Spectre, Thunderhawk THEN Sojourner. The letters page of StH#193 switched it back and that's the order Flynn used in the encyclopedia.
Spectre's next, and is correct in terms of hair color, although we never see him without his helmet in the comic.
Tobor's also correct, no notes.
Hawking's more or less correct, although it's a missed opportunity to not have gross almost-dead Hawking here.
Matthias is also correct. Fun fact: he's the guardian we know least about.
Next up is Jordan and Aaron, the only instance where we have a pair of brothers as guardians. Aaron died young, which is why the Brotherhood started the whole "traumatize your kid by walking into a fake wall of fire and let him fend for himself in the wilderness" thing.
Rembrandt's up next, and is also correct. Fun fact: he's the one that came up with the name "the Brotherhood of Guardians".
Harlan's correct as well, and again we know very little about this one.
Geordi La Forge from Star Trek aka Moonwatcher's next, and is also correct. Fun fact: he and Harlan wanted to have all Guardians involved with the training of the next generation, instead of tossing them out into the wilderness. Sadly they were outvoted.
Steppenwolf's one of my favorites, and was the first to actually be trained as a Guardian so is actually good at his job unlike super nerd Edmund. Steppenwolf's the one with the Batman-esque origin and is the one that banished the Dark Legion to the Twilight Zone because they liked playing Sega Genesis too much.

>>19822
Cringe thread, written by someone with an axe to grind. Flynn and Penders are two sides of the same retarded coin.

>>19829
A guy making fun of Penders shouldn't make you this mad.

>>19830
Mad?

>>19822
Decided to read it and oh boy do I have notes!

>In IDW, Sonic is treated a lot like an uplifting figure, someone who’s always looking to help others. That’s cuz Ian Flynn sees Sonic as an hero and actually plays Sonic games. Ken Penders however, sees Sonic as overly competitive and angsty. Cuz that’s his idea of a teen.
Flynn genuinely does not play the games, but neither did Penders, or Pontac and Graff, or the people that wrote the Boom cartoon, or the movies. You can 100% write a videogame character well without playing their games. Flynn gets several things about the games wrong in the Encyclo-speed-ia, likely due to looking up fan wikis. He also doesn't attend the Bumblecast videos where they're paid to play Sonic games, but does play the non-Sonic game ones.
Sonic is canonically recalcitrant and overly competitive hero in every incarnation and this is something both Penders and Flynn get right. Where they both diverge from the game canon is having him be rude and dismissive of Tails

>You know all those scenes of Sonic bonding with his buddies over small talk and playful banter between friends?
>Yeah that’s gonna be replaced by Sonic acting a dick to anyone that looks at him weird, banter replaced with overly drawn out exposition, and lame jokes.
Sonic canonically mirrors the people he encounters, so he's always rude to Eggman, and competitive and violent to Knuckles, Shadow and Jet until they end up in the friends/friendly-rivals zone. Also, lame jokes are a core staple of the Sonic franchise, and both Flynn and Penders absolutely love overly drawn out exposition

>Penders is very evidently not as big a fan of Sonic as Flynn, any reference dialogue will be gone.
>HOWEVER, that will be replaced by the most abhorrently awful attempts at trying to sound “hip” because Penders liked Old Luke Cage comics…..
>ya know, the racially insensitive ones.
I'm going full Penders defense force on this one, because those regurgitated song lyrics are fucking annoying and one of the worst quirks of Flynn's writing. Penders is an out of touch boomer given a drawing of a crocodile with a walkman and a description saying he's cool, of course he's gonna make him "hip". Also, those old Luke Cage comics are kino. They may be considered tonedeaf to modern audiences, but they have a black guy as the main character who despite ostensibly being in the hero business for the money, always ends up helping those in need

>In this hypothetical universe where Penders was actually allowed to still work on Sonic comics, I feel like MAYBE it would get to his head that focusing on Knuckles so much again would probably not work out
>So here’s a funny idea, what if he started becoming obsessed with SHADOW?
Yeah, Penders would definitely focus on Shadow. Like Knuckles, he's the cool new Sonic rival with lots of room to explore his past

>See the reason Ken Penders liked Knuckles over Sonic was because aside from just the former allowing for more creative freedom, he found Knuckles’ isolated status and heritage ripe for his passion project of writing a story about an animal geopolitical soap opera.
>And I think knowing Penders’ surface level reading comprehension, he would probably see Shadow as a perfect replacement that could fill a similar role.
>Shadow has alien heritage, is isolated from the rest of the group most of the time, and SEGA had less eyes on him during 2018.
Agreed, although I'll add that Shadow was one of Flynn's favorite characters to write in Archie, but hates writing for him in IDW because Sega disagrees with his characterization of him. It's a big part of the mandates discussion

>Ken Penders injected A LOT of blatant Moses imagery and religious babble in his stories as well as “borrowing” ideas from superhero comics for his Knuckles lore. Ex. Superman, Black Panther, etc. so he would probably apply a similar method to Shadow.
It wasn't just Moses! There's a lot of biblical references in Penders' work despite him not being religious.

>Ken Penders would probably look at the scene of Shadow being shown imprisoned in the future by Mephiles during 06? Well Ken Penders would probably beat that image into her head at every opportunity he could so that he could portray Shadow as a Jesus allegory allah Zack Snyder.
lmao Penders already did this with Knuckles! Knuckles is literally the miracle-performing and prophecy-fulfilling savior of Mobius, who died for their sins before being resurrected.

>Hell given Penders’ obsession with Marvel, I wouldn’t be surprised if he straight up turned Shadow and Black Doom into Silver Surfer and Galactus.
>Not in terms of character but in the idea that Shadow was once like a semi-disciple of Black Doom for a short time but-became a full-blown hero.
>The restoration will still existc it’s not like Penders hated the Freedom Fighters but I feel like Penders never cared for Amy and also because Penders ya know he doesn’t do the whole “Women in power” thing (Cuz he cannot write a woman to save his life-
Penders would be drawing from Star Trek to fill in the Doom stuff if anything. Also, Sega's few notes on Amy was that she's a Sonic-obsessed ultra-fan who's convinced herself she's Sonic's girlfriend. I'd also like to point out that Penders did a genuinely good job of writing Julie-Su and only fucked up writing Sally when his pet Geoffrey was around

>SO, I feel like he might try and make Tails the leader. He would probably make a few lame jokes about a kid being the leader of a government agency. OR alternatively if he just wanted to write a Sally clone, he would probably vandalize Whipser’s character to fit that role.
Tails as a leader would be interesting, but Flynn and co literally did that with Lanolin! Also, Whisper has no personality to vandalize

>Oh also speaking of Whisper, I actually do think Penders WOULD see as a perfect replacement for Sally.
>And if you didn’t like Whisper’s soft-spoken, capable, timid, personality.
>You’re not gonna like the trophy-wife/generic action lady way Penders is gonna write her as.
Don't tempt me with a good time because that sounds way better than current Whisper

>Oh also, Tangle and Whisper will have no chemistry and Penders will probably lean into Silver being her main interest.
>Not because he’s homophobic or anything but do you actually think Penders has the balls to put any gay subtext into his writing?
>Intentionally?
I mean, they don't have any chemistry anyway amirite? Also Whisper x Silver is cute. Penders is an incompetent writer, but he is an ambitious one. He did make Rotor gay, and looking back you can see what he was trying to do, even if it was so bland that even an Archie-obsessed homo didn't pick up on it. FWIW, he does make the relationship between not-Rotor and not-Cobar explicit in TLSC. I'll also say that Flynn and Penders are both excellent at (unintentionally) adding gay subtext to Sonic and Knuckles

cont...

>>19832
>Speaking of Silver, it’s hard to dictate how Penders would write Silver as he’s never worked with the character before but we can assume maybe he glossed over a few wikis and would write him as either an overly highly capable cold badass unlike in IDW or just a one note dick.
Silver is canonically a highly capable cold badass AND a one note dick, so that'd be a genuine improvement from uwu-ver

>a lot of people don’t care for the way Flynn’s Sonic tends to monologue or show such prowise over his achievements and his own hopeful demeanor.
>And I can see why, but if hypothetically: it was even worse.
>What if, it was even MORE tacky?
>MORE, self indulgent?
>Here comes Penders!
That's literally how Kirby wrote Marvel comics so that's intentional on Penders' part. Also, it's one of the many writing habits Flynn picked up from Penders

>And he will also instead of spacing out each character’s introduction between individual issues, he’ll just dump them all into one issue, and you have to follow each one spouting their own backgrounds, hopes, dreams, quirks, etc in the most unnatural and painstakingly long way!
As apposed to the stretching of single-issue plots across four issues IDW is lousy with? Not defending Penders here because he's just as guilty of this

>You may not be able to understand what they’re saying, and that’s because you don’t speak Penders-ese, so lemme explain, *ahem*
>“NOTICE MT WRITING, NOTICE MY MESSAGING. I KNOW THERE’S A CHARACTER AND A STORY YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT, BUT LISTEN TO HOW PROFOUND I SOUND”
Again, this bombastic style is classic Kirby, and while I don't really care for it, I can see why Penders did.

>Also any scene of the bad guys that tried to build up tension, intensity, and conflict between the characters will be directly spelt out to you either by text boxes, the dialogue itself, or by other characters in the background.
>Also subtly be damned, no room for fan theorizing.
lmao, they're both guilty of this!

>Unlike the regular IDW comics which aside from the Metal Virus tend to focus on more lighthearted, albeit kinda annoyingly low stakes escapades.
>EVERY arc in the Penders IDW comics, will be like a war storm like the Metal Virus arc except gorier and having even less of a point.
I mean, I wouldn't mind fewer annoyingly low stakes escapades in IDW...

>Oh also because unlike Flynn and Stanley, Penders is WAY more trigger happy with killing characters.
>You may think this would be upgrade as it adds consequences to the story, but it isn’t.
>Because they’ll only ever be in a few issues where they barely do shit and then leave.
Penders mostly killed off minor characters in a book with a frankly bloated cast, Flynn and co kill off some of their most interesting characters when there's way more interesting stories they could tell with them. I want more Starline! I want more Mimic! Also, let's not forget that one of the first jobs Flynn was tasked with in Archie was to massively prune down the cast
cont...

>>19833
>Sorry Jewel, sorry Rough and Tumble, you guys are not long for this world…..
I honestly think Penders would like writing Rough and Tumble

>You know how Flynn at least tries to have Tails go through character arcs and develop slowly over the course of the story?
>Ken Penders will in one issue write Tails like a wimp, then write Tails as a military officer, the write him as a conflicting monster, and the comic will-
>act like he’s ALWAYS been a badass. Despite that never being established and borderline contradicted at many previous times during the story.
Characters can be more than one thing! Also, they're both terrible at writing Tails

>Not that IDW doesn’t have some contradictions itself but instead of it just being because of constantly changing writers, it would be because Penders has the memory of a senile grandpa.
It's literally the editor's job to ensure that there aren't contradictions between the plots of various writers

>I have a feeling Ken Penders wouldn’t give up on Knuckles entirely, after all he is his bread and butter.
>While the Echidna stuff won’t exist obviously I have a feeling that given that there are other inhabitants on Angel Island.
>Penders would make Knuckles way less laidback
Knuckles isn't laid back at all in IDW!

>He would have Knuckles always either training for higher strength like a muscle head, keeping out unwanted inhabitants off the island if they even step on a twig, or just have him brood in the sky.
>Think Black Adam, except utterly sauceless.
>Like Dwayne Johnson Black Adam.
Knuckles has always been kind to the inhabitants of the island and violent towards outsiders, and frankly Flynn has him brooding way too much

>Because Penders for some reason just hates writing Knuckles with the rest of the gang he will still be just as isolated from most stories like in Archie, however because Julie-Su doesn’t exist he can’t fall back on her to be Knuckles’ doting housewife.
That was an editorial decision so that Penders and Bollers wouldn't contradict things. A proper editor would have been more directly involved

>THAT’S WHERE ROUGE COMES IN.
>Yeah I’d imagine Penders would write Rouge way more femme fatale and way more touchy-touchy with people to get her way, but because Penders would probably make her the main love interest for Knuckles…..
>Okay how do I explain this?
Touchy-touchy femme fatale Rouge is kino and she and Knuckles have excellent chemistry (it's no Sonknux, but it's still very good)

>You know how a lot of fanfic writers and will write Catwoman and or Black Cat as overly clingy, unrealistically infatuated, and completely in-self sufficient if Bruce or Peter aren’t looking at them 24/7?
>That’s how Penders is gonna write Knux and Rouge.
>Be afraid.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a hyper-competent, intelligent, and flirty person like Catwoman wanting fuck a hyper-competent stoic grouch like Batman. It's what makes their relationship fun, and Knuxrouge and Sonknux are fun for exactly the same reasons

>Also the comic will promise you over, and over, and over, AND OVER again that everything that happens is for a reason.
>You can decide who you are!
>Except if faith says otherwise.
>Everything has a reason!
>Except when it doesn’t because the editor wanted this plotline to end.
Again, this long-form plots that never receive a satisfying payoff are absolutely endemic to IDW

>>19834
TLDR: Penders is an incompetent but ambitious writer, and Flynn has picked up a lot of his bad habits
>>19828
Wouldn't be a proper Surge comic without her getting btfo!
>>19829
Yeah, the guy's def got an axe to grind
>Cringe
Looks like they removed it from the word filter ;_;

>>19835
>Looks like they removed it from the word filter ;_;
I didn't even know there was one. In my defence, I was pretty tired when I wrote that, if I had more mental wherewithal I would have been much more eloquent.

>Jim Shooter Dead
Damn

>>19836
It’s so nice to see Omega actually show up in a comic
>>19837
This comic always cracks me up with how on model the guys are despite the girls being extra curvy
>>19839
Cringe used to get filtered to bueno. I think a lot of people just stop at Flynn good, Penders bad and ignore that Flynn grew up as a massive Penders fan and that many of Penders’ writing quirks have propagated over to Flynn. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing, but ignoring it ignores what makes Archie Archie. Frankly people should be talking less about Penders and more about how the modern Sonic comic is under the grip of a very close knit cabal of ascended Sonic fans with a very specific interpretation of the franchise that doesn’t necessarily gel with Sega’s (or Archie’s!) interpretation

>>19843
>Cringe used to get filtered to bueno.
Oops, that might significantly change the context of my comment over at >>>17461, which is a series I am actually very appreciative of, I was just actually saying "Bueno" for real.

>>19677
I don't believe for a second he's dead, his body falls into a the water below with his entire central mass intact.

>>19847
Yeah, he needs something more. I always liked the idea of him having Wisps of his own, like the Cube Wisp Wisper has on her team was Mimic's former partner.
One thing I really didn't like about the last issue is that Whisper didn't really use her Wisps. Like they aren't just tool, they're people, but the story steadfastly refuses to acknowledge them as characters or give Mimic real depth instead instead of trying to make him be sympathetic.

>>19847
I always thought if he could shoot ink like either sticky globs or as flammable hazards for him to scrape his knife against objects to ignite them would work

>>19851
Oh joy, Sally gonna get some Archie-style trauma!!

>>19840
RIP. He really was an editor's editor. I can't help but wonder how different Archie Sonic would've been with him instead of the clowns we got
>>19845
lmao, maybe genuinely using bueno instead of bueno broke the filter!
>>19846
We don't really know how his powers work but I could see his shapeshifting have a regenerative component. I want to believe!
>>19847
I'm surprised no one but Sonic's attempted to straight up merge with the Wisps. I could see Mimic altering his body to make use of their various abilities
>>19848
They did a whole thing earlier about how they're her companions when Surge kidnapped them but it seems they just kinda dropped the whole Wisps as characters thing. They literally talk to Whisper!
>>19850
That'd be cool
>>19851
The artist's clearly having a lot of fun with the panels and angles here, almost as much as the Konductor is coming up with new logos for the characters to say!
>>19852
It's not legally an Archie fancomic without it!

>>19853
Probably would have whipped Penders into shape
I imagine something like this: Crap Crap MegaCrap | J Jonah Jameson in Spiderman

>>19855
*And the other writers too!

>>19851
Sally teetering from being strong willed as Sonic to a complete breakdown is an interesting trait. Even if it came out of the messy back and forth she got, if done well, I think adds to her.

>>19852
>>19853
As is tradition.
>>19857
Instead of getting mentally fragile as tragedies pile on like in the Archie comics, she starts off that way and gets better with Sonic's help. Unfortunately he's become an emotional crutch for her.

>>19851
Sally should really get a therapist considering how much psychological abuse she gets in the entire franchise.

>>19854
Human versions of Sonic characters are always fun
>>19855
Oh man, that'd would've been so cool. Imagine not having pages wasted with upside down family trees, paraphrased holocaust poems, terrible maps, and "data files." And that's not even considering all the nonsense that took place inside the comics! Also, you wouldn't see Shooter double dipping as Romy Chacon so no Tommy Turtle either!
Jameson's unironically my favorite Marvel character and those Spiderman films nailed him perfectly
>>19856
It's fun to point out Penders' (many!) flaws as a writer, but Bollers and Flynn had their issues as well. Not Gallagher though, he's absolutely perfect and the Forty Fathoms Freedom Fighters deserved their own spin off series! Seriously though, his stories were a lot of silly fun and him having Geoffrey just guard a doorframe is one of my favorite Archie moments
>>19858
It's a 50/50 on whether Shooter would've erupted in a the biggest Jameson rant or just retired after reading Penders' pitches
>>19859
>Instead of getting mentally fragile as tragedies pile on like in the Archie comics, she starts off that way and gets better with Sonic's help.
The early comics starting off as lighthearted comedies unfortunately blocked off having this more realistic take, so it's nice that you're able to explore it here
>Unfortunately he's become an emotional crutch for her.
I think that's what they were trying to get at with the infamous slap, not that the writing really conveyed it well! Sonic's role as the infallible hero that pretends not to take Robotnik seriously and always has a witty comeback is in a sense Freedom Fighter propaganda. Sonic's antics are almost designed to be easily retellable stories that can pass amongst the other FF groups and civilians, showing that Robitnik's defeat is just around the corner. The idea that Sally has slowly started to (at least subconsciously) buy into the hype that Sonic will always be there to save the day, but is suddenly faced with the fact that he's not is an extremely compelling one
>>19862
The only character I can think of that doesn't need therapy is Wyn. Even Remington has to deal with the fact that he arrested and witnessed the death of his father. Not to mention the traumarousal of having Lien-Da as your aunt!

>>19864
Yeah, it was pretty clear once he got back from space he and Sally were going to pick up exactly where they left off, and I think that's what all the fans wanted to see. From our point of view they'd said they loved each other before getting separated for an IRL year of issues, so the unspoken payoff was for them to finally get back together. It's just so weird, like Sally's all ready to go into the field to rescue Sonic from drowning in #132 but is all a-bloo-bloo-bloo by the end of #133 and full slap by #134. My headcanon is that Bollers was infected by the Sonamy mind virus half way through #133 and needed to torpedo Sonally to make way for infinite relationship drama
>spoiler
lmao, even when Penders is right, he's wrong!

Comics and derailing romantic couples is such an annoyingly common and frequently occuring pattern. Though it's usually an active character derailing element that hurts female characters, the one major example of it damaging a male character is of course Hank Pym. Maybe Hank and Sally should team up considering the commonly known event that damaged their reputation literally has the same name plus both are pretty great characters that filter subhuman troglodytes.

>>19866
Yeah, every major writer except maybe Bollers was explicitly pro-Sonally, but everyone except Gallagher seemed to want some shipping drama before they settled down. Even Flynn wanted to put them through the wringer.
As for why Bollers had the strange about face I guess Gabrie could've had something to do with it, but it probably came from higher up. We did get the weird magazine-style cover mandate and that anime-esque back to school issue around the same time

>>19868
It's so frustrating, just let us have the characters be happy in their relationships! It really does feel cheap
>Hank Pym
Yeah, that was absolutely outrageous how they did him dirty

>>19871
That was so confusing. Nicole and Robo-Robotnik are both from this supposedly alternate future, but it's actually the future of the zone where Sonic and the Freedom Fighters became cyborgs, but somehow got de-roboticized sometime between the present and that future? You'd think Sonic and the FFs would go warn those guys, or at least blow up that space station he ended up uploading his mind to
>Maybe it was a middle finger to Penders.
I mean, Penders certainly had no problem walking all over Bollers' canon so fair's fair

>>19874
Surge sure been shipped with various people in fan art.

>>19875
Sadly I never did. One day I'll do a as thorough a search as possible to see if someone did.

>>19874
I wish Zeena had more porn

>>19873
>great art
>unique take on Sonic and his world
>updates frequently, and with entire chapters
>suddenly dropped on a cliffhanger
*sigh* And that one was really good too
>>19874
Finally some toxic lesbian romance that would improve IDW instead of dragging it down!
>>19875
It's one of the few things I don't have, but would very much love to have
>>19876
I think Surge and Amy could go interesting places
>>19935
>zeena (937)
>remington_the_echidna (6)
It's not fair ;_;

>>19822
Penders actually responded
>What makes you think I give a damn about being an influence on the franchise? People either enjoy what I did or they don’t. The rest is noise.
Well I wasn't expecting to agree with Penders but here we are

>>19946
They made Tails cool for once! With this animation, I like to see it as Tails helping this kid like how he was long ago.

I love how retarded the twins are. They cannot help being the reason they fail.

>>19944
Mighty No.9 got clowned on hard and I don't think Inafune ever really recovered from this fuckup. At least IntiCreates kept on trucking.

>>19958
I dunno why there's been so much Sonaze art in the past year or 2 but i'm happy after so long been getting more. Surprisingly never commed any for myself oddly though I'm currently in different fixation mode then Sonic stuff currently.

>>19952
IIRC Mercia was the only place that ended up deploying them
>>19953
You know, it's funny to think that like the Archie Sonic Adventure adaption, Chaos can't be crammed inside the Master Emerald here because there's a chaos-infused megalomaniac with a fancy cane and a thesaurus trapped inside it
Without spoiling anything, I do like Tikal and Chaos' roles in this continuity, especially since their game roles are kinda redundant in the Archie continuity
>>19955
>At least IntiCreates kept on trucking.
I actually like their stuff more than Megaman
>>19956
lmao
>>19957
They had great chemistry in the Rush games and it's a shame we didn't get more of them (the games and Sonic/Blaze interactions)
>>19960
Considering the last game where Blaze had any significant role in the story was TSR (or TMoStH), I have no idea. We have been getting some nice Sonic Channel art of her though
>I'm currently in different fixation mode then Sonic stuff currently.
Back to Marvel no doubt!

>>19961
actually it's back to Ultraman and Godzilla at the moment since Marvel interest is on low until Cosmic Invasion or do some watching/reading. Mainly Ultraman fixated since finished X's show plus his movie, watched Omega's first episode plus hoping to watch show as it's new which will be nice and am starting Geed soon since the Ultraman Zero era is one of my faves/major viewing experiences so be fun to see the sorta finale to Ultraman Belial. Figure purchases a plenty to lol obviously so will need to increase my shelf space sometime.

Also yeah I fucking love Sonaze, so much visual perfection as a duo plus genuinely enjoyable chemistry means i'll take almost anything with them together interacting and I wish we got a game or major comic arc that gave a lot of focus and cool stuff for the Sol Dimension.

>>19961
>>At least IntiCreates kept on trucking.
>I actually like their stuff more than Megaman
They did kinda perfect the 2D Mega Man gameplay. Copen & Kirin(from Gunvolt 3) are pretty much X & Zero on crack.
>>19962
Cosmic Invasion looks like it's going to be a fun Beat Em Up.

>>19853
>Surge kidnapped them
Yeah, it retrospect it ended up being really half-hearted, which is a shame as there's a storyline there about Surge and Whisper starting off as antagonistic due to understandable reasons and then bonding over kicking Mimic's ass.
That and despite being part of the world the Wisps feel very discontented from it.

>>19959
Shodan?

>>19966
It is.

>>19964
I'm begging and praying that Hank Pym gets into Cosmic Invasion or at least give me characters I didn't know I wanted

>>19963
I'll use the vagueness of you saying Silver will be in it to be that he only shows up at the beginning briefly to get jobbered out by the new threat heading to or if from the Sol Dimension and then he's promptly flung back into the trashbin with no further appearance, a win win for me.

>>19968
I wanted Wendell as Quasar. Nothing against Phlya, but I like Mr. Vaughn. I'm hoping for War Machine, Cyclops, Nightcrawler or someone from the OG Thunderbolts like Songbird or M.A.C.H-1

Duh, he's standing on his husband.

I know this isnt a game focused thread, but does anyone know where I could find an ISO of Sonic 06 ?

>>19962
Fair enough, I never got into Ultraman, but do love Power Rangers and Godzilla
>>19963
See, I don't think enough people realize the inherent comedy of Blaze having to babysit her cocky airhead twink friend
>>19964
>Copen & Kirin(from Gunvolt 3) are pretty much X & Zero on crack.
They really are!
>>19965
Surge and Whisper working together would've been way more fun than what we got
>That and despite being part of the world the Wisps feel very discontented from it.
For a post-Forces comic that establishes early on that the Wisps are sticking around to help (well technically the Forces comic does this), they're pretty much just treated as item monitor boxes with eyes

Such a cute couple 😍
>>19981
They're just really really close frenemies!

Fact check: true!

I'd recommend the Ultra Series, it's a lot of good fun with some pretty profound episodes but absolute wacky antics also depending. Though it's also a ginormous franchise with hundreds of episodes, dozens of movies and varying continuities/universes. Also there's literally only a handful of Godzilla films not seen and it's cause never got the DVD release for them, specifically the original 1954 Japanese Gojira, Godzilla Raids Again and Ghidorah the Three headed monster.

>>19993
Aww, that one actually hurts since he was my Vector growing up. Cancers never a good way to go

>>19992
You'd be crazy not to listen!
>>19993
Shit. He did a great job of Vector, and considering it was Sonic X, played the definitive version of him
>>19995
Highly recommend checking out FMA/FMA:B for those that haven't seen it. It's right up there with Soul Eater as one of my favorite Shonens
>spoiler
Vector as Tucker, Vanilla as the mom that "mysteriously disappeared", Cream as Nina and Cheese as Alexander
For the other homunculai:
Pride: Easily Kit, but Charmy would be funny
Wrath: Probably Max, although Gay duck would work well with Kit
Sloth: Bark
Greed: Nack Second Greed: Monkey Khan
>>19996
I mean, Knuckles and Envy are definitely my favorite characters in their respective franchises! Remy's obviously my favorite in the Archie canon
>>19998
I'll have to check it out. I do love the old Godzilla films, but then I'm one of those absolute monsters that loved Godzilla 2000. In my defense, the cartoon was really good!

>>20002
And don’t forget about the karate bugman! It’s one of the big 3 of Toku!

But where do I find the game in that messy index ? The search doesnt look up everything for a match of the title.

Oh~ delightfully devilish, Mr. TP. I MAY draw something related to related to this (when I can get off my ass and draw something)

I shouldn't be surprised that people had a problem with the latest TailsTube, blamed it on Ian, only for it to be written by Tyson.
>>19989
>It's nice to see little touches like this
Originally I was planning on Mecha Sonic charging at Antoine while he had his sword out but couldn't bring himself to using it on him but that was too many panels for one thing.

>>20003
I'm pretty sure they showed up in Power Rangers, so they're technically part of the canon!
>>20004

Maybe this will work? You'll have to ctrl-f to find it since it's all one big list
>>20005
I was definitely disgusted when I thought of it, so it's clearly the right choice
>I MAY draw something related to related to this
Fingers crossed! It's always appreciated when we get some OC art in these threads
>>20006
>I shouldn't be surprised that people had a problem with the latest TailsTube, blamed it on Ian, only for it to be written by Tyson.
B-but it had Sonic and Knuckles flirting! I honestly didn't see any major issues, aside from the fact that Sonic canonically doesn't wear socks. Those white parts are part of the shoe. It was nice we got confirmation that Angel Island moves, but doesn't rotate. I feel so vindicated! The Rouge art was very cute as well
>Originally I was planning on Mecha Sonic charging at Antoine while he had his sword out but couldn't bring himself to using it on him but that was too many panels for one thing.
I think if I've learned one thing from reading all these fancomics, it's that less is more. Too often we end up with dozens of pages where nothing really happens all because the author wants to make sure the plot is properly telegraphed. Getting the most out of limited panels really does improve the flow, and while it may make things a little more subtle, I think encouraging readers to pay closer attention keeps them engaged
>>20008
Sonic's gonna straight up kill these two by the end of the comic

>>20010
>thing I didn't like is now good because someone else did it
Why do these types of assholes have to exist.

>>20012
No one really worries that there's so many Batman interpretations, but Sonic is somehow serious business. Like, Sonic from its inception had two separate cartoons and ongoing American, Bri'ish and Japanese comics, all with different sets of characters and tones. Even game-only fans have to reconcile the tone of Colors with that of SA2 (although I will argue that game Sonic has had a consistent characterization throughout every game).
What's particularly frustrating is when fans don't realize that just because the social media has the official VAs doesn't mean it's canon. It's just Sega trying to engage with fans between games. The Sonic commercials where he leaps out of the tv were never canon either! Sonic Live doesn't count
>Being a Sonally shipper gives me such a sense of superiority.
You won't be so smug once I finish my M25YL: Sonknux edition! Not only will I replace Sally with Knuckles, I'll replace Julie-Su with Sonic, so there's double the Sonknux! Actually Sonic and Knuckles reluctantly going to visit Knuckles and Sonic on Angel Island after Sonic and Knuckles had a falling out would be better than what we got
>Everyone has to make their own fankids while Sonic and Sally have actual kids in the future.
Technically in several futures!

>>19989
>Don't copy that floppy!
Okay, I can't prove it, but Penders 100% had a hand in the sequel to this. Consider these facts:
>very pro-copyright theme
>stilted teen dialogue
>little to no understanding of how computers work
>music that is totally hip and happening (also the rapper is called DP, lmao)
>an attempt to cover a serious topic that is wildly inappropriate for children to watch (prison rape)
>dancing klingons for absolutely no fucking reason
Don't Copy That 2 (Official Sequel to Don't Copy That Floppy)

>>20013
Some people really hate Ian and anything bad has to be because of him. Once that's removed then they have less of a reason to hate it and if it turns out to be by someone they like then they have to do a 180.
>>20014
Not to mention that Sonic has so much fanart and endless fancomics and they're not canon and rarely completely in-character.
>You won't be so smug once I finish my M25YL: Sonknux edition! Not only will I replace Sally with Knuckles, I'll replace Julie-Su with Sonic, so there's double the Sonknux!
That's another thing to laugh about. All those edits where they replace Sally with the character they'd rather have Sonic with. Because it's the closest thing to canon they can get. See? I must sound smug as fuck.
>Technically in several futures!
Sadly one set was nuked and the second set was erased from existence.

>>20009
Found it I think. Thanks dude !

>>20002
ah your thinking of Godzilla 1998 which did have a great cartoon despite it's contentious film. Godzilla 2000 is where Orga debuts and confirms Goji has a healing factor

>>20008
this monkey is to smug for his own good

been trying to dig in the ride website the comic where it has tails becoming a sterroided monster but i can't find it, you guys happen to know the name of it?

>>19995
That is a terrible haircut for Shadow.

Does anyone know which comic he's talking about here ?
Timestamp is around 5:14 in case the link doesnt take you there.

Yes that one, thank you conductor!

It's has to be Chaos Diamonds 3, but as a connoisseur of edgy older Tails kino, he should have read Darkness is not all Black instead.

Also, someone in the comments mentioned Tails Extreme as another possible candidate, do we have that one archived ?
