It’s mildly insulting to both Sally and Lanolin that people who don’t remember Archie are saying Lanolin is the new Sally. And I say this as someone who hates Sally Acorn.

Honestly, it’s tiring that anytime there is a leadership role given to a woman in this series, people immediately assume said character is ripping off Sally. Sally was bossy, and obnoxiously commanding. Sally was girl boss princess. Sally will let you know she is in charge and it’s not a question who is in charge.

Amy’s leadership of the Resistance was way more diplomatic as she gave Sonic a lot of more leeway than Sally ever did in Archie pre-Wave. Amy Rose accepted Sonic’s decision to operate independently of the Resistance and Restoration almost immediately. Her tenure was marked with community rebuilding projects that she self-admittedly states were beyond her. Sally would have relied on Nicole for rebuilding projects while she operated the military and field missions with impunity. Sally was the person who connected with Freedom Fighters around the world. She was the point person and absolutely would not have let Sonic just willy-nilly do whatever the fuck he wanted. Even in peacetime, Sally, infamously and not unjustly given Archie’s setting, wanted to tie Sonic down.

Jewel is more of a supervisor than leader as she is far more likely to delegate positions towards others to prevent centralized authority. Sally is literally royalty and frequently butted heads with the council and her own father, the King, anytime her decisions were challenged. Sally in Jewel’s position absolutely would not have let Tangle go do her own thing. She wouldn’t be satisfied with desk work. She would have had a conniption.

I can’t speak to Lanolin’s character yet as we only have so little but people are pointing to her butting heads with Sonic being similar to Sally’s interactions with him. First off, Sally’s Freedom Fighters were not volunteer based. She vetted every single one of the members save for Tails whom she thought was too young. Lanolin’s volunteer squad seems to be a revolving door situation in terms of participants so as the organizer and leader of the team, she has to lead off of the approval of the team. Throughout the issue, Lanolin is seeking coordination and cooperation. Sally would not have bothered because the only uncooperative element on the Freedom Fighters was, you guessed it, Sonic. He was the one that she and Antoine had to reign in. Sally would have relayed to the team immediately that this was a stealth mission. Lanolin assumed that they knew that it was a recon mission and Sonic and company would act accordingly. The Freedom Fighters are Sally’s Knights/Royal Guard/City Watch. Lanolin’s volunteer team is the Restoration’s proactive offensive force.

If Sally led the Diamond Cutters and IDW/Games Sonic, it wouldn’t have been Tangle yelling at Whisper for thinking of going solo. It would have been Sally as she does this with Sonic frequently in Archie. Sally wouldn’t be discussing with Sonic in terms of tactics. She would be arguing with him. And Sally would have been a lot more fed up with Tangle’s shit. And more importantly, the narrative would have agreed with her versus Lanolin whose discussion with Sonic is more, “Well, they both made great points and neither aren’t entirely wrong.”

If I could some up the girls’ leadership styles.

Amy Rose - community leader/influencer

Jewel - Community Organizer.

Lanolin - Neighborhood team leader

Sally Acorn - Commander-in-Chief/General.

If anything, Sally has more in common with Sonic Rush 1 Blaze which makes sense since they are both Princesses. The difference between those two is that Blaze is fully capable of leading her own charge and had to be convinced to ask for help sometimes versus Sally who would never even need to be reminded of such.

Sally should not be the ubiquitous girl leader in Sonic the Hedgehog.

I'm actually surprised no one has pick Fleetway Sonic as the worst Sonic since I Know they bitch and moan about how mean he treated Tails.

Next, why is Underground! Eggman the worst? The dude tried to MARRY SONIC'S MOM! That's fucking funny and his good version design is awesome too!

They should have put Satam, that versión of Eggman is as cliché as It gets. Ew.

Also WTF when did this horrible version of Rouge came out? And Bean? Someone tell me where they are because I don't Know their origins.

And finally I belive that 06 Blaze was peak Blaze too even if confusing for some. Idk about rivals! Silver, I only Know He stole from Tails.

That's All.

SonAmy is one of the funniest pairings to me because, on one hand, SEGA doesn’t want to ever officially give Sonic a girlfriend, stating that it’s not in his character to be “tied down.”

But on the other hand, they still went out of their way to design him a whole love interest, has had multiple romantic moments and hints shared between him and said love interest in the games, comics, and cartoons, and even markets merchandise of the two as a couple.

“They’re not a couple! …But we’ll still present and market them as such, because we literally created her to be his love interest.” – SEGA, probably

How refreshing it is to see an instance of Sonic in the printed medium that uses potent emotional displays like crying correctly instead of resorting to them as cheap tricks to make the writing look more profound than it actually is *CoughArchieSonicCough*

I know I’d take the Sonic X Shadow Generations Manga and its depiction of Shadow being moved deeply over Maria’s dedication to him even in the face of an entire squad of GUN soldiers any day over those cringeworthy ugly-ass Yardley panels of off-model Shadow pissing through his eyes uncharacteristically when he meets a digitised Maria.
