Sega seems to let the base Freedom Fighters (Sally, Rotor, Bunny, and Antoine) exist in Sonic media even if they don't ever appear in the games, I wonder if the movies would include them at some point? Would the movies be wild enough to introduce Ixis Naugus?

sega only cares about game characters and they don't care about characters from the comics or cartoons. the reason they don't care that penders owns some obscure comic characters and recolors of existing characters is because they never had any intention of using them anyway and don't want to waste the time and money fighting him in court over the rights to use the skunk self-insert that cucked sonic the hedgehog

Part of the point of rebooting the entire thing (aside from making a clean break after switching studios) was to bring the comics fully in line with the games, so all Archie original characters are unfortunately completely gone.

I did read some of Flynn's Archie run and it was good, and it's a real shame some of the characters are gone, but they've done a great job of filling out the IDW cast. And given that Tangle and Whisper have appeared in two mobile games already, Sega appear more receptive to crossovers, even if it was probably just to help market the new comic.

Hell, I’d kind of like to see Tangle and Whisper appear in a proper Sonic game one day for that matter

no one has ever killed anyone in sonic except for that firing squad that executed an old man and that soldier that shot and killed a small child but no one else has been murdered

Oh well dang, I thought all this time those four were getting a pass. That's kind of disappointing, I still like those characters

From what I remember, Flynn has talked about the possibility of bringing them back, buuuut a) it would need Sega approval, and they barely acknowledge them anymore, b) they'd probably have to revert all the way back to the SatAM characters to avoid any possible entanglements with Archie over evolutions of the characters, and c) you can't just have them take over the IDW cast, so they'd be an occasionally-appearing support group at best. So, still technically possible, but don't get your hopes up.

yeah i love the og freedom fighters (+ nicole, nicole pwns) and the archie reboot was very kind to them, but i've come to terms with them never showing up again

the reboot in general has been the best part of archie sonic, free from all the cruft and bad artists of the early stuff. i can only imagine how cool idw sonic gets

After the end of Sonic & Knuckles, the series was split into two, Classic and Modern.

Thus began the era known as the Sonic War.

It was already split between CD and 2

Then 2 and 3&K

My parents wouldn't buy me a Sega CD because it was too expensive, in hindsight this was the correct decision but goddamn I spent years dreaming of playing Sonic CD. Then I played it when it was emulated on literally everything and eh, it was ok. The JP soundtrack was banging but the jumping sound, who on earth signed off on that?

CD is the one I've replayed the most outside of S3&K, there's an exploratory aspect to it that 1 and 2 don't go for that really scratches an itch for me.

My parents bought me a Sega CD for my birthday, even though I was a shithead who didn't deserve it. I remember hyperventilating and almost passing out from excitement as they set it up. Soon after, I bought Sonic CD for $20 from a blockbuster and my life has been on a spindash downward corkscrew ever since.

It genuinely took me over a decade to figure out the intended method for that stupid thing. I used to have Sonic and Tails do specially timed jumps to eventually physics my way far enough down to short hop off the platform.
