The Sonic the hedgehog thread V.7 2017 its been generations since the last good sonic game

Kinda but it wasn’t done this badly.

He gave him a hard time once in SA1. Amy is annoying, she won’t take no for an answer it’s either run or be married. It’s a joke but when it counts they team up effectively.

Tails just seems like he’s there to be there. The writers don’t have a clue what to do with him. He barely speaks compared to everyone else.

Hey look Smashbro having a kneejerk reaction, who didn’t see that coming?

Hey look Smashbro reacting to what he’s seen so far. Big difference.

Man youare passing judment on these characters entire personalities off of sound bites. Sonic rolls his eyes once now hes a total asshole? Your making mountains out of molehills.

SA1 wasn’t the only time he give Knuckles a hard time. He shitted on him in the Rivals games, Advance 2 & 3. Any other indicants is drawing a blank.

I’ve seen other scenes. He’s definitely more modern day snarky hero who’s always right.

Also the shit they say in gameplay is like stuff written by autistic minecraft players so that’s one hell of a disconnect.

Rivals counts? I thought that was more of a licensed product than an actual canon game. Regardless it’s called “rivals” so you have to see that coming.

Advance 2 I know he gave him a hard time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijMnZe1C3QU

But that’s not dickish at all, he got himself caught… again! And then tried to play it off like it was out of his hands.

He’s simple, earnest, bit nuts about his job but never plain stupid.

Knuckles is a moron he gets duped or does something dumb all the time.

The writing is made to appeal to kids, this is a kids franchise man.

Rivals counts for several reasons. It’s technically Sliver’s first game meeting the cast since Sonic 06 retconned itself. It also has the canon backstory for Eggman Nega. The game is called Rivals because the entire premise of the game built itself on the 2 player competitive race mode from Sonic 2.

Sounds like they read Tails Gets Trolled…

But everyone is a jerk in multiplayer focused games. Even Princess Peach is a total bitch in Mario Kart and did you see that death stare Luigi has?

Interesting though, fuck Silver. Just a general comment.

That’s a good point except, the 90’s cartoons were also for kids. So was every game up to this point.

Yea and they all read pretty much like this does.

Hey, we got proof that Knuckles isn’t that smart when he skipped Leg Day.

What Knuckles, are you racist against kicks? Is it Punch or Die for you?

That is what everyone needs to keep in mind. Sonic has a lot of older adult fans, but the LIFEBLOOD of the franchise will be using the cartoony designs and characters to hook the little bastards while they’re young.

Gotta disagree, recently started watching the 2nd DIC Sonic cartoon and it is really good.

Sonic Adventure was not made just for kids.

Yes it was.

I don’t know, it has the real world the art based on graffiti art the whole Gamma situation that was really sad and yet really happy.

Maybe kid’s stuff was just better back then.

I don’t really have a stock in this franchise; I don’t care if this game or show does well or not. But justifying bad writing by saying “it’s just for kids” is the reason why so many terrible kids’ media gets created.

It’s a very slippery slope. On one hand I do have stake in this somehow and I want it to be enjoyable, but on the other hand I wonder if being critical of it will even make a difference when I’m not even the focus for Sega. You have a point, just because it’s for kids, doesn’t mean we should expect less of it. I get the feeling that Sega does have the ability to make it completely enjoyable for all ages, just hire the right writers. But I don’t think they’ll do that, cause the possible fans they could get from making it smarter could just alienate the kids that they want to pull. And they don’t want adolescents, they want snot nosed elementary schoolers, so I imagine it’d be easy to lose them.

But a good writer knows how not to alienate those who don’t catch every single joke, right?
