an interesting thing about 90s sonic media thats only based on the original 2d games and nothing else is how they get certain character design elements or lore details wrong but theres not many games to go off of at this point and this was also in an era where sega didnt really take much control over non game media and just let those writers and artists do whatever . so you can kinda see where they would have gotten that idea from. like yeah sonics super form being a completely separate person who sometimes attacks his friends blatantly contradicts the games but back then the games hadnt really given us any reason to believe thats NOT what happens. so .

#yeah fleetway and archie both got parts of the emerald lore wrong at first but the games hadnt really explained it in detail #so can you really blame them for getting it wrong #and then theres also little design details that contradict the games like in fleetway sonic #knuckles' little crescent mark on his chest is colored/drawn as if its a necklace?#and then theres the quill style they gave amy that obviously came from that one art of her from sonic cd #where her quills looked different due to the pose her and sonic were in #like yeha these contradict the game designs but if there wasnt much official art of them or a strict set of guidelines on how to draw them #yeah i can see where they would get this stuff from #feel kind of bad saying they got stuff ''wrong'' when this is a different universe so its technically not wrong #but you get what i mean #fleetwaysonicposting
