This makes this hard for Mega Man himself since he 'chose' to become a super fighting robot. They're given more personality and follow Wily out of their programming, not choice. To use a Mega Man example there are a few running themes from the now cancelled Archie comics. Not too dark but knows what to emphasize. I don't so much depth to make the franchise complicated but I do need to see that things arent always bright and cheerful despite the pastel colors. Sometimes you are just saving a princess, stopping a egg-shaped mad scientist, or defeating an army of robot masters. We don't need nonsense on how /mario promotes communism, Wily is actually the hero of Mega Man, and Sonic may or may not be a real hedgehog. We don't need MatPat 'theory' levels of depth to some franchises like Sonic and Mario. It’s Robitnik.Ĭlick to expand.I can relate to that. It misses the whole feel (anyone see that fanmade vid, Mario Warfare, with a live action Toad wielding dual uzis? ).Īlso, I’m really picky when it comes to the Robotnik/Eggman name. It’s like whenever someone tries to do a grizzled, live action Mario.

Adding in melodrama, making the world darker, upping the stakes to dire, world-ending crisis levels, & changing the whole backdrop to a war setting complete with COD-lite dialogue just kills it for me. And I’ve never read any of the Sonic comics.įor me, Sonic is a bright, cheerful fantasy adventure.

I’ve watched a LITTLE of each of the Sonic cartoons, but haven’t liked any of them. Sonic ‘06, Unleashed, Black Knight, Lost Worlds, Colors, etc. I’ve never played the Adventure games on Dreamcast or most of the 3D stuff. I wasn’t very far into it when I got distracted by other games. Admittedly, I need to go back & finish Boom. I’ve also played through a couple modern ones like Generations, Rush, Rush Adventure, Boom & stuff like Smash where Sonic makes repeated appearances (and I enjoyed them all). My experience with the Sonic franchise centers mostly around the classic Genesis games & Sonic CD. Probably cuz Bucky was always about a war from the get go, whereas Sonic began life as a whimsical adventure game with heavy fantasy elements.īottom line- I’ll never watch that again, & i’m Just thankful that classic Sonic is still remembered in great new stuff like Sonic Mania. Somehow it worked for Bucky O Hare & the Toad Wars, but it loses me here. I do still love seeing him onscreen, but just wish he did more.Īll the resistance stuff & military lingo just comes off as jarring. I loved it when Classic Sonic (& Robotnik) showed up in Generations, but here he’s practically forgotten about for nearly the entire story & given nothing to do. It’s like they can’t decide what this game wants to be, so it tries to be everything. One second they’re going on how Sonic’s been held captive & been getting tortured for 6 months, & the next minute they’re making chili dog jokes. Just finished watching the entire cutscene/movie complete with all the dialogue bits from gameplay segments & inbetween level stuff. It just didn’t capture the feel or tone of those early Sonic games that it was supposedly drawing inspiration from. Forces, I guess, was the response to that criticism but as expected Sega/Sonic Team missed the point.Ĭlick to expand.I’ve tried watching it before, but could only ever stomach a few episodes. Some fans, like myself, didn't hate the light-hearted approach from the earlier games but took issue that everything seemed self-aware and laid back. Some like the looney tunes antics from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, others prefer Sonic with an actual conflict and stakes. I'd never believe it myself.Īs for the tone, it varies between which segment of the Sonic fanbase you ask. 'Emotional' and 'Sonic' in the same context without a hint of irony. Its not all drama as there are episodes just spent adventuring or causing trouble for Robotnik but the show did have its emotional moments.

There's his Uncle Chuck who Sonic wants to free from Robotnik's control and fails the first time, we see him upset that he couldnt save him. Its nothing traumatizing but it made him more 'human' for lack of a better term. I mean there's an episode showing Sonic's fear of Robotnik roboticizing Sally and how its effecting him. Satam, although it had some dud episodes (anything staring Dulcy or Antoine) most of it was solid. I mean this is the same team that gave us 'Baldy McNosehair' and tried to run it into the ground as a punchline. Though the difference is Sonic Team cant write a story to save their hides.
