(edit: some of my tags were remooved after I hit post so to summarize the missing tags: I rambled more and was sick more and ended up just wanting people to enjoy the iteration and reiteration of Sonc Honk and his Fronds and the world and story they live in)

sonic character analysis is like fighting over which spiderman is the objectively correct one. sonics is superheroes in the way where everyone thinks they know their guy better than anyone else and we are all WRONG

#It's so bizzarre to me how- to some big sonic fans- sonic is some concrete thing #(i don't worry about the less invested sonic fans- they'll obviously have a less thourough knowledge of The 'Hog)#(also I'm a bit sick right now so sorry for typos or nonsense on my end)#like #sonic has seen so many iterations new and old #(SatAM is older than Knuckles)#so much of it eventually ends up being built off of or mutating from other prior ideas #some of it evolves due to ''outside preassure'' AKA usually whenever Sega fucks up and gets scared #(see: 2006 with Sonic 06 AND the Ken Penders lawsuits)#(see also: 2014's Sonic Boom)#Sonic is a snarky arrogant asshole and kind of a bully- and the hero who saves the world just because it's fun #Sonic is deeply compassionate and rather introspective- he likes to run and he likes to fight and he does what is right to help others #Sonic only really cares to live his life- one of adventure and freedom- fighting because it's fun BUT understands the greater importance...#... of his battles are to grant freedom to others and that's how he justifies his battles BUT at the end of the day would rather...#... the world be a peaceful place where everyone COULD just live their lives to their own whims #Sonic's world has no humans #Sonic's world has a human millitary group called GUN #Sonic's world is a separate planet/dimension from OUR world which is home to humans #Sonic's world is the distant future of our world after a nuclear apocolypse #We've had at least 3 completely different world maps JUST in the games #i'm ranting becuase this is fun #point is like #Sonic- the character; world; and franchise- are like #mercurial or whatever #(again I'm sick sorry)#it shifts and iterates #I've seen fans put Tails into Sonic Underground as a fourth adopted sibling AND IT'S GREAT!!!!!#Sonic Forces brings in the Golden Gate Bridge from SA2 while detaching it from the real earth city of San Francisco and that's FUN!!!!#(seriously adore that details- bringing in that bridge was a small stroke of brilliance)#(I'm dying of sick)
