Amy was legit super fun to play as in the Advance games where she could do high jumps with her hammer and stuff. In the first game she couldn't spindash or turn into a ball at all which added an extra layer of challenge and a bit of different gameplay feel to her.

https://twitter.com/SonicMovie/status/1074853082159243264 Paramount tweeted this a few days ago, not sure if this is a joke or a glimpse of the movie design. Either way I hate it. Larryb fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Dec 22, 2018 |

I really liked Amy in Sonic Advance 1, she felt unique in a way that still fit really well into the Sonic mold. If they could do something like that for Mania or Mania 2 I would love it

Pastamania posted:and the bit where Mania massively outsold Forces for a fraction of the production budget Has this been confirmed? Not the budget part obviously, but the sales. This is true from the leaked steam sales, but I don't think that's going to account for much since I always thought Sonic was more of a thing on consoles.

Started a replay of Unleashed today. It's depressing how that intro CGI cutscene probably cost more to make than the entirety of Forces.

I still remember one of the early blurbs for the show that was pretty funny. It was pretty much like this: "Watch the antics of a cast of enjoyable characters, and Amy Rose."

The second season ended last fall, I don't think the show was cancelled or ended or anything it's just between seasons, but I might be wrong It was a legitimately funny show, so I hope it gets another season

She's perfectly fine in most other games and media. It's not that Sonic doesn't like her, it's that he doesn't like being tied down to one place.

I don't like Sonic Boom, but I love how enthusiastic Eggman's VA is and I feel bad that he had to do Sonic Forces.

I hope he’s Eggman forever. He’s the best, even though I’ll always have a soft spot for Long John Baldry as well.

To be fair, I don't think Robotnik has ever had a bad VA as far as I can remember (I'm not too fond of Gary Chalk in Underground though, he sounded too much like a generic cartoon villain).

My favorite Mike Pollock story from his interviews is the time SEGA moved away from using the 4Kids VA for the games. He mentioned how his agent/manager told him he got invited to audition for a new role and he was all "Waiiiiit a second, this new role sound way too familiar." And how when he went to the audition (or got the role, I forgot), he noticed he was the only one from the 4Kids dub cast to still be there and was all "Haha..ha...this is awkward "

Her paranoid rambling exists for one off gags and non sequiturs, but otherwise the punchline is just as of then that she's the voice of reason or making a good point.

Jim Cummings is a legend, but everything relating to SatAM Sonic is cringeworthy and embarrassing. Even as a kid I kept being annoyed because it had nothing to do with the games. The only things about Sonic that should be gritty are Shadow and Infinite, because they are hilarious.

In fact the only american cartoon that really seemed to get what Sonic was supposed to be about was the more slapstick oriented AoStH (and even that had its share of problems).

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was high art and should be revered by all Sonic fans. I still get Scratch and Grounder's theme stuck in my head and I wanna make it my ringtone someday. HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAA!

SatAM is about as grim and gritty as a Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles episode.

Yeah, Sonic is not a series that should be made dark and serious and honestly works best when it just embraces the inherant goofiness of the main concept (superfast hedgehog fights egg-shaped manchild scientist, both of them are assholes in their own way) wholeheartedly. Which is another reason why I enjoyed the Sonic Boom cartoon for the most part.

I just don't think some attempts at drama are bad. Everyone talks about how Sonic having anything more serious than Eggman trying to ruin the environment is cringey, while Mario, which is often perceived to be the "softer" and more childish series, is allowed to have subplots about Rosalina's dead mom and a spinoff rpg about summoning a demonic queen. Obviously there's a line but I think Sonic's stories can have fairly complex topics and even death and be just fine.
