Sally Claus?

Don't want to sound like a chode here, but: "Amy was never blindly obsessive" Have you played Sonic Heroes?? Or Sonic Battle?? Or Sonic Riders?? Or even Black Knight where she beats the shit out of him after the credits?? The only games she's not obsessive or sidelined in are the Adventure Games and *Sonic Shuffle*. I don't like what Ian is doing either, but come on man, be for real. :L

In Heroes she was helping Cream and Big. Yeah she wanted to find Sonic, but she put Cream and Big first. That scene with Team Sonic is always misinterpreted because it’s a call back to SA2 and she’s obviously just teasing him. She wants to prove herself to Sonic.

In Battle she’s certainly trying to impress Sonic by taking care of Emerl, but it’s also established that she’s got other things going on like teaching a class in self defence to young women. And even then she’s still protecting Emerl with her life.

In Sonic riders she joins the Grand Prix to get close to Sonic, which isn’t out of character. But she’s also the only one who directly tries to catch Eggman when he finds Babylon Garden. Like she’s not even really kidnapped by Eggman, she willingly chases after him.

And In Black Knight she gets stood up on a date by Sonic, boy had it coming.

Amy’s motivation is usually focused on Sonic, but reducing her solely to being obsessive is a disservice to her strength as a character. Amy is no different than Tails, she chases Sonic around because she admires him and strives to be like him, it’s just portrayed in a more traditionally feminine way. If Amy’s obsessive, then Tails has gotta be too. It’s a double standard.

And it’s fine to not like how Amy was or to prefer how she is now, but for me it feels like most of the flack Amy gets is misinformed and inaccurate.

“Everything Amy has been criticised for is based off of bad faith arguments or willfull ignorance. She was never blindly obsessed or a crazy fangirl, she always had her own thing going on and she was the heart of the group.”

Tell me you’re blinded by nostalgia without telling me you’re being blinded by nostalgia.

I’m not. Play the games.

So I'm probably gonna be all hands on deck for this year's Christmas video. So in the meantime, how about we do some more #AskTheSonicGang stuff? #SonicTheHedghog #sallyacorn #bunnierabbot

Do you think that they're going in the right overall direction with Amy's character now? Of course there has been a MASSIVE overcorrection but I personally I HATED 2010's blindly obsessive Amy much more than modern Amy. What do you think would be a good balance?

It might be interesting to see if they take her character in an entirely different direction too, but we'll just have to see.

You must be new here.

I'm not gonna go into a big discussion, but in short I absolutely hate what they've done to Amy as she's one of my favourite characters. Everything Amy has been criticised for is based off of bad faith arguments or willfull ignorance. She was never blindly obsessed or a crazy fangirl, she always had her own thing going on and she was the heart of the group.

But anyway like I said, I'm not gonna get into it.

So, I saw that you made a video about your thoughts on Shadow Generations’ story…

Have you ever thought about making one for Sonic Frontiers’ story?

Yes, but it would probably be very long and I don't have a lot of nice things to say about it.

Amy gives you a pep talk.

I’m your Fitness Instructor comic, did you sneak in a Space Jam reference lmao?!

(Work your body, work your body, make sure you don’t hurt nobody!”)

I'm not sure that's really a reference. I think that's just a common fitness phrase.

Do you believe Amy is a Sally ripoff or vice versa?

Tons of ppl use this as a reason to hate one or the other, so im jist curious

Nah, they couldn't be more different from each other. I think there's a discussion to be had with modern Amy is written now and how that could be compared to Sally, but nah.

[pixelrushiguess]

I forgot to post the new animation here.

Favorite Creepypasta?

So… I just finished Shadow Generations, and I just have to say, it EXCEEDED my expectations!

THIS is what Frontiers should’ve been! The story was actually GOOD and didn’t waste time on pointless lipservice (Looks like SEGA kept a tighter leash on that rabid dog Flynn this time 🤣)! And the emotional moments actually HIT! (That ending gave where Shadow sheds a tear as he skates away me MAJOR Sonic X vibes)

I guess my only gripe with the story is that they never truly properly explained how Black Doom came back from the dead (remember The Rise of Skywalker how people were upset how Palpatine was brought back with poor explanation? I’d argue Palpatine’s resurrection was better explanied than Doom’s).

But that final boss… MAN! That was, undoubtedly, the most EPIC final boss in the entire series since Unleashed!

What did you think?

Dunno, haven't played it yet.
