i've always wondered what the comics do with chaos. on top of ian probably being able to do something interesting with him, i'd expect like, penders would've had to include chaos in the story somehow. chaos did kill off knuckle's entire race, afterall

There's apparently a quote from Rouge that's "Mother always said there'd be days like this."

I never really thought of any of the sonic cast as having families, aside from Cream, so for some reason that has me shook. Does Sonic have a Mom and Dad somewhere???


I still can't believe people thought this was real.

The lesson we can learn from TSR is that Big is the only trusting character, and Blaze and Amy are racist against tanuki.

Friends the show only uses the first verse where "no one told you life was gonna be this way". Later verses do tell you mother told you life was gonna be this way, but nobodies ever heard those verses.

This quote is more similar to the Shirelles song, Mama Said, where "mama said there's be days like this"

Mecha Sonic in S&K was awesome and I thought he had a cooler design than Metal Sonic. I loved his cocky hands-in-hips charge-up stance on the Master Emerald.

I wish he'd get at least some of the love Metal Sonic did.

Yes, the original Robotnik died way back in issue #50 and aside from a one issue reappearance way later on never came back in any capacity (as far as I remember anyway).

Not entirely sure why they bothered with the whole mess to be honest when instead they simply could have done what Fleetway did and just have him put on some new clothes.

Fleetway Robotnik was the best, he was absolutely giant and looked like he ate babies for breakfast.

Also I hope they use some of the new comic characters in the games because Whisper is a precious baby with a kickass gun.

I loved the absolute way they didn't give a poo poo when they 'adapted' the Sonic Adventure design, he just put on a new coat rather than making him look like the Adventure Eggman.



Of course, the Adventure adaption was the last story they did prior to going into eternal re-runs until it was finally cancelled so they probably didn't give much of a poo poo about doing a faithful adaption. That story had almost nothing to do with Adventure other than having Chaos (who was nothing like the game version other than being a water monster that wanted the Chaos Emeralds and sonic takes a trip into the past and meets the ancient Echidnas (and Knuckles was there, implying that he gets thrown into the future or goes into stasis or something eventually).

Technically. Post-reboot he retroactively became the original Robotnik thanks to the Super Genesis Wave rewriting history.

They were talking about the UK Fleetway comic which Penders had nothing to do with, not that that makes it much better of course.

Nah, this was the UK comics. They were pretty restrained with the Echidnas, you saw some advanced technology on the Floating Island and only one other echidna appeared in the comic (other than the Adventure adaption) who ended up being a villain.

The difference is that Scourge actually acts and talks like evil Sonic, as opposed to being an evil (or morally ambiguous) guy with super speed who has an entirely different personality from Sonic.

And given that Sonic is already kind of an arrogant dick, it works really loving well.

Just make him look exactly like he does in the games imo. It's not like it'd be any more jarring than what they had going.

The blu ray extras for this thing are gonna be hilarious. "The original controversial trailer that took the internet by storm!"

He's possible still gonna have blue arms based on that image, which is gonna make people mad still, but I really don't care as long as the overall design is right.

It's just like, man, even with executive meddling, how do you look at this shot and think it looks acceptable:

Sega at the very least had an all hands meeting right after the movie trailer. Aaron Webber (social media guy) had to arrange for someone else to do the Sonic live stream that day because he was in the meeting (needing to promote TSR so close to launch.) Later in the evening was when they announced they would change Sonic.

Yeah it’s the same guy, though to be honest while it has improved somewhat I’ve never really been a big fan of Kirk Thornton’s Shadow voice.

Knuckles’ actor did change though, the new guy’s not bad but I miss Travis Willingham.
