Here’s some more information, apparently the show deals with the multiverse in some way:

That sounds terrible honestly but they could potentially surprise us (I’m not holding my breath though).

I'm entirely unsure what you could mean by that. Since when have cutscenes started not being as long as they need to be?

Sonic 06 mainly. Same problem as Kingdom Hearts where characters leave massive pauses before replying and the music and sound effects are just missing.

There’s a cutscene where Silver returns to the present and he complains about the noise the crowd are making. Not only is there no crowd, there’s not even any noise.

06 also had a scene where an actor flubs his lines and they left it in (they also sometimes alternate between calling the thing Mephiles was trapped in the Scepter of Darkness and the Book of Darkness).

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I wish I had the power of will to sit through the Megaman cartoon to make a more concrete speculation of how this trashfire will go. What I do know of Megaman Fully Charged from watching like ten minutes of an episode, some clips, and reading three issues of the comic that was made after it was clear they were never going to get another season:
Low energy and very mild hijinks. Love to mess around with the lore like having Wily be Megaman's age (his dad is more Dr Light's peer or something) or New Original Character who is just like megaman and is later revealed to be an earlier model: Namagem. Turns out Megaman starts having PTSD flashbacks as he remembers how he used to be a war machine used solely for the subjugation of robotkind and Dr Light committed many atrocities in the name of mankind against robots.


I don't where this is going. Down to the logo I'm rolling my eyes. SONIC all cracked and breaking, called PRIME and talking about multiverse. The blurb about saving the universe and self-discovery and redemption soon followed by ages 6-11. I think it'll on large strokes be another Megaman Fully Charged where a dumb edgy expanded story is planned but doesn't make it to the air because the week to week episodes are weak AF.

I'm usually pretty willing to give cartoons a chance. Sonic Boom was pretty great once it found it footing, and even before that it just had an issue with forcing itself to be an action cartoon for every third act. But this is raising all sorts of red flags. And the talk of multiverse stuff really cements that it's tying directly to the games for bad reasons.

1000% sure there will be a scene where this Sonic looks at a statue of Classic Sonic and goes "How can I live up to your legacy?"

I wanna joke about it, but I'm sure the actual thing he needs to redeem will be even stupider. Probably ran too fast and ruined a thing. Maybe killed a whole universe.

That loving Sned posted:

I know the story in Heroes was an afterthought, with the writer having to come up with something for each team to do after everything else in the game was decided on, but it’s still really bad. The characters were all simplified and had nothing interesting to say to each other despite talking constantly during gameplay.

Something I appreciate about early video game cutscenes is how they were as long as they needed to be and not a second more. SA2 and the PS2 Ratchet and Clank games were like this. Sure they could end pretty abruptly, but they’re so fast paced I don’t mind sitting through them again on replays.

Team Rose and Team Sonic were pretty awful and all of the characters involve just. Had everything stripped out. Sonic reacting to Shadow being alive like "lol how 'bout that" is one of the worst cutscenes in the series. It was the beginning of Tails losing all of his development from the Adventure games and the Master Emerald never being acknowledged again.

Team Dark was okay. Rouge actually showed some real emotion, like, she actually seemed to give a poo poo about Shadow, which was interesting development for her. Omega was single-minded, but he was designed that way and he also indicated he actually cared a little about Rouge and Shadow at the end. Shadow's amnesia plotline was....fine? As a set-up to ShTH even if that game sucked out loud.

I still want a Team Dark game with actual decent writing, those three characters have the most interesting dynamic in the series.

Team Chaotix came in with no baggage from the Adventure games, so they were pretty fun. They just bounced off each other and told a little detective story with a really funny payoff. Also, Vector had the best line in the game.

There's all kinds of places they could go from here but all of them would require them to choose something and then stick with it for a couple years, and, worse, would require them to iterate on it over a couple titles instead of jumping about between styles and design approaches like it seems they have been, like, I don't care if you pick Unleashed or Colours or Lost World or Generations as your template just pick one and make three more. Anyway I eagerly await Sonic's pivot to open world.

With another Important Anniversary approaching fast, the time is once again right for management to tell the team to just freeze whatever they were experimenting on, slap some content in to pad it out, and market it as a fresh new start for the franchise
