The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog: Can We Get More of This?
No joke. You might have noticed from my sudden return to activity after a while, but I really, really liked The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. Gaming April Fools jokes are quirky and weird by nature - that’s the point. But every once in a while a game developer will release an April Fool’s joke that is so fun and unique in its quirkiness that it takes off and completely captures the audience with its charm. Sometimes these are even on purpose - attempts to test the waters and deliver some fun at the same time, like the trailer for Fighting Ex Layer. Sometimes it’s probably not, but... maybe it could be. I think that’s what The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog could be.

I‘ve been a Sonic fan for a very, very long time. I’ve loved most games in the series for the whole length of that time. There are few Sonic games I could say I outright dislike, tbh. But something I’ve long felt the Sonic series could’ve benefited from way back when was a stronger spinoff game. I think people give spinoffs a bad rap just on principle. “Why make disposable spinoffs when we can focus on making mainline games?”, people say (Sonic fans are also a bit unreasonably petrified of alternate gameplay styles). But I think that’s the missing the point. Spinoffs are a major part of what gives game series their identity - especially family focused series like Sonic. Not just because they give accessibility to a wider range of gamers, but because they make a buffer zone. Main line games take a long time. You have to wait years to see it, and if it has problems... well... that’s the reputation of the series for the next few years until the next game comes around. Spinoffs, however, mean that there’s always something involving the character out there to keep people interested. I means that if even if one game isn’t so good, there’s always others out there delivering quality. It gives the series something to look at at all times, and that gives it longevity. So why think about Sonic, a series about super speed and hi-momentum platforming, and make a visual novel spinoff? Visual novels are slow by nature, static images and careful deduction. Well... you make it for exactly the reasons everyone loved Murder.
People like these characters. People really like these characters. They’re fun. They’re all unique from each other. And they bounce off each other so well. But Sonic fans rarely get the chance to really experience the characters. Sonic’s long had a problem of loads of characters without quite knowing what to do with them. Characters like Rouge, a jewel thief primarily used for spy parodies, just plain isn’t going to be in most Sonic games - the games don’t have those kinds of plots often.
But that’s where a visual novel shines. Visual novels are all about going from scene to scene interacting with large swaths of characters, quirky conversations and unexpected character and plot developments. It’s not just that you can use tons of characters, but that you can give them center stage far more freely than you can in a platformer or a more action-focused plot. Sonic has been absolutely killing it this past year with adaptations and projects that were all about exploring the characters and what makes them fun, and Murder’s just the latest example. All the characters get segments to themselves to show off, tell jokes, and be fun - it’s silly and cartoony, charming with lots of character moments and eccentric turns, and it’s perfect for Sonic. So I really want to see more of this sort of thing!

We could get more parodies like this - hey, if Detective Pikachu can be a thing, why not more Detective Tails? Or we could get more involved stories. Something more Adventure-esque, or something more Saturday Morning Cartoon-y like Colors. Or a mixture of both! Character focused, or whole cast all at once just like this. Another everyman as the focus character, or one of the cast - Tails actually makes a very good protagonist for this sort of thing. The sky is the limit, here. Even this little April Fools joke gave us a surprising amount of worldbuilding and fun ideas I hope get revisited someday. Plus, it has to be said that visual novels take an entirely different creative process than platform games, and this game indeed was made by a third party, so the crowd nervous that any spinoff could take away from the development of the main titles doesn’t really have much to worry about: in the end, these would be made by different teams. It’s just a good idea all around. So I really hope this doesn’t get abandoned. Give us the continued spinoff visual novel / point and click adventures of Sonic and friends. I imagine any future ones wouldn’t still be free, but sure I’ll pay for it. Why not? I mean, you’ve got a perfect premise right here:



Eggman Industries’ Famous Eggscape Rooms! They’ll scramble your brains. And maybe your lifespan.

Okay, I have another idea: a spinoff with the Charles' children who are like a modern Holmes and Watson but gender reversed.
They would be: Nic and Norman Charles.
Ideal casting:
Tom Holland as Norman Charles
Izabela Vidovic as Nicolette Nic Charles
They would be perfect!!!

I miss a couple like Nick and Nora Charles in today's media; can anyone make a movie starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster as the Charles'???


They're perfect as the new age Nick and Nora Charles!!!
Or even a Fred and Ginger movie!!!

Thinking about the current X-Men serieses, and how they have framed Rogue and Cyclops as the new Xavier and Magneto. And I have to laugh at the beautiful storytelling set-up of -
Xavier's first student, his most loyal soldier, who Xavier most likely considers as a son (more than his own tbh) and who he had hoped would follow in his footsteps, becoming the successor to the role Xavier's best friend took on during one of their many 'splits' as he rails against the system.
The daughter of Magneto's most trusted General, who was a member of the Brotherhood of 'Evil' Mutants, whose power is 'stealing' others' abilities and life force dedicating herself to protecting the world and guiding its people to a future of harmony and understanding while playing within the system.
The narrative symbolism is just 😘
#x-men#rogue#cyclops#scott summers#marvel comics#i am still big mad about how krakoa panned out because the potential in that storyline could have lasted for YEARS#however there are a few things about the x-spinoffs i like#jean and storm getting their flowers for one with their own solo series - despite controversy surrounding jean grey's artist#and putting rogue front and center#also i am a SUCKER for the trope where the rebellious kid takes on a leadership position as they mature#and it was LONG overdue for Rogue because they kept nerfing her at every turn to stunt her growth#she's now the boss#and also here for the trope of the lawful good character seeing what 'following the rules' gets them and deciding to play by their own rules#even if it makes them 'the bad guy'#which they tried to do with cyclops during a v x and the phoenix 5 but it didn't execute entirely properly#at least spinning out of the mess with orchis and scott's banana republic trial it makes more sense for him to pursue the path he chose#long rant in the tags lol

One thing that is now unfair to ask is...what is Nine's name? Look hori treated him as an afterthought but his lack of origins works better than the comical twnko's origins.
Yes his family was all killed thanks to him but ...I can't help to think that scene was too ridiculous.
We never saw anyone mentioned them again, not even shig. (He remembers them in MVA and we do see the disgusting human puppet hori flay around) But that's it.
So Nine...
Im not one of those people who think a new character needs to be related to a pre stabelished one. Nine doesn't need to be a Todoroki, Shimura or hell even a lost Midoriya (hahahahahahaha as if hori would care for this family)
But ....imagine if Nine was related to Oboro, somehow, wouldn't that be interesting?
Maybe, maybe not.
Oboro's character became a thing to turns Aizawa into a better character...and fails. Kuro was sacrificed for nothing.
The thing about Shigaraki/Tenko backstory is that it feels... a bit overdramatic?
Well we can say that about his whole character, but the part of his backstory in particular when he kills his family is so exagerated for the sake of shock value that it kinda feels comical.
Horikoshi tried a bit too hard on make MVA feel like the edgier and "different" arc of the series, but the contrast in so big that I can't take it seriously.
Especially when Hori already nailed a dark tone without being super explicit or over the top.
Take the simplicity of Eri's backstory for example:

No blood, no unnecessary violence, just two panels giving a basic idea of what happened to Eri's father and yet the image of those clothes lying on the floor is much more haunting and eerie than the enterity of Shigaraki backstory.
Why Horikoshi stop being subtle with his storytelling?
...
Anyway going back to Nine real name, or the lack of one, I think it's interesting how that aspect of his character adds to the underlying theme of how AFO and Garaki dehumanize people, especially the ones that are part of their experiments.

We know very well how AFO doesn't view other human being as persons but rather objects that belong to him. This starts with his very own twin brother, which name Yoichi means something like "my first possesion".
And just like Nine, number 6 from Vigilantes was a child which whole life was modeled by AFO. They both are just numbers without a real name.
In this case the idea is presented even more explicitly because Six was a child who suffered some kind of amnesia and couldn't even view himself as a normal human with a face.
He even died as a monster without ever know if he had an identity outside being the number 6.
It's funny how you mention the idea of Nine and Shirakumo being connected somehow, as isn't the first time I've hear that.
It's interesting notice how they share this common theme about sky and clouds as part of who they are (Nine's name also is supposedly a reference to the term "cloud nine") both Nine and Oboro are individuals willing to sacrifice their own lifes for others, and ironically both of them ended being experimented by Dr Garaki.
I even have the headcanon of Kurogiri being the "Number 7" in this line of experiments were Nine and Six belong, as sort of missing link between Six and the sentient nomus.
I probably should make a post later explaining better this idea.
And yes for Horikoshi, Shirakumo was just a diposable character to make Aizawa look cooler and more edgy.
While the author of Vigilantes clearly invested a lot of effort on making Oboro a real and memorable character which complements Aizawa rather than just being an accesory. But that topic deserves it's own post as well.
P.S: I have an idea of what real name we could give to Nine, but I keep it for me at least for the moment.
#mha critical#bnha critical#mha nine#bnha nine#shigaraki tomura#shigaraki#Number Six#mha six#oboro shirakumo#mha shirakumo#bnha shirakumo#bnha meta#mha meta#mha eri#mha rewrite#bnha rewrite#Again the “prototypes” subplot has crazy missed potential#Six got a decent arc and screentime at least#Maybe because the writer of Vigilantes knows better what to do with these characters#Wish Nine and Shirakumo got proper extended arcs in the main story rather than being spinoff exclusives

#no of course i’m not salty that adventure time gets endless spinoffs and most other major CN shows#were just given more content while SU - at one point the biggest fandom by far - gets nothing#of course i’m not bitter that despite SUs insane reach and popularity warner bros might consider it more ‘controversial’#due to the dumbest people in the room only ever hating on media its popular to hate on with zero critical thought about the other shows#and said criticism being in the worst faith imaginable constantly for years leading to WB potentially devaluing the brand#despite SU being the best of these shows precisely because its willing to be more complex and not always take the easy route#not to mention while being hated as an ‘sjw’ show and ‘too gay’ for the most deranged grifters to get clicks off#of course i’m not bitter about any of that. that’s so sillyyyy you’re silly#steven universe

Soooooo, I may combine 3 out of the 4 wips I have going on rn and just make them into a Ranger Reyes spin off fic. All three of them are plot lines I would’ve put in it anyway 🤔 I would just have to come up with several more plot lines before it could be a done deal…
#911 lone star#911 ls fic#ranger reyes spinoff#here’s another thought I’m throwing out to the fandom#I might be in the business of looking for potential collaborators if I do decide to tackle this monstrous project and make a spin off fic#I could become a fan fic show runner 😂😂😂#on another note#I wonder what would happen if I wrote a spin off in screen play format and then just subtly sent it to Tim and Rashad 😂#the temptation is there fr

The Axolotl is a being associated with death, the afterlife, and rebirth, guiding souls through to the other side and helping them reincarnate. (As far as I can find) Xolotl, the god for which the animal is named, is a psychopomp as well. Dogs, the animal he's associated with, are guides for spirits in the underworld. Additionally, he protects the sun every night as it travels through the underworld, a cyclical cycle of "death" (setting sun) and "rebirth" (rising sun). Sounds similar huh?
This makes me wonder: in the Gravity Falls universe, did mesoamericans know of The Axolotl ? Which name came first ? Did mesoamericans have the god Xolotl, made contact with The Axolotl, and give it that name ? Or did they have contact with The Axolotl, and from there it became Xolotl ? I feel like it's not a coincidence that The Axolotl and Xolotl share similar roles AND are etymologically related AND of all the things it could've looked like, it looked like an axolotl from Earth.
I just think it would be interesting...we know Bill has had impacts on human religions and civilizations, so why not other powerful beings? How might've The Axolotl contacted humans in the first place?
If you're knowledgeable about indigenous mesoamerican religions and this is inappropriate/inaccurate let me know and I'll edit or take it down.
#this is also a stretch but i wonder if the colour factors in too#albino axolotls (the pink ones everyone knows about) dont survive well in the wild#in the wild theyre mostly brown/black with mottled appearances to blend into their surroundings#most people dont know that so i imagine its nothing important but like. what if it was. i dont know how much background knowledge to expect#idk. just thinking about the axolotl. and the other nonhuman characters#i think theyre very interesting and have lots of potential. esp the henchmaniacs#i would watch a spinoff show of like. shorts of the henchmaniacs doing stupid shit#or even like character backstory exposition dumps. just like worldbuilding yanno#i wanna know more about this multiverse#anyway uhhhhhhhh tags yes tags#not tagging for bill because i only mention him in passing#gravity falls#gravity falls thoughts#gravity falls axolotl#the axolotl#brick wall

Do you think we will get a Keenry spin off? I am 100% sure we will. I just wonder when it’ll be announced.
Do you think they would wait a couple of years to announce it or it would be announced this year at a later date or next year?
I feel like there’s soooo much they could do with a Keenry spin off considering their ending. Like, competing in tournaments, travelling the world, domestic keenry. Fluff, Angst, Keenry going on dates, and so much other things.
I think it could be done SO well. I don’t really want #those CK writers to be THAT included in the spin off. we need actual writers, people with common sense and people who KNOW how to write.
I also want 10+ episodes in a season with episodes an hour each. Like, I’m sorry I’m really not playing with them when it comes to a Keenry spin off.
With #those writers they’re bound to fuck something up. Jon is teasing so much, so I am very optimistic.
But it hasn’t even been announced and I’m already stressed lol😭😭
AAA sorry for the late reply, but here i go
Do I think there will be a spinoff? Girl, there BETTER be a spinoff or i am gonna scream. The amount of teasing + tanner wanting to do it is giving me so much buzz. Honestly, no clue when they're going to announce it, but hey the sooner the better. I fw all your ideas for the spinoff + some more ideas such as Brandon FINALLY being in the show again for more than 2 minutes, tory and robby finding out the truth about kreese and silver, robby winning a tournament and standing on the podium with tory, and hey depending on how long this spinoff were to go maybe even a proposal at the end (is that crazy?? that probably is). If we get this spinoff, it would likely be a limited series, but if there's multiple seasons then like a proposal would be nice hehe BRO YOU'RE ME. YOU'RE LITERALLY ME. #THOSE WRITERS WOULD SCREW IT UP. I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS.
#cobra kai#ck#robby keene#tory nichols#keenry#tory x robby#robby x tory#someone on discord was like “i dont think they would do it bc i dont think tanner and peyton would rlly wanna film just the two of them”#girl did you ask them#how tf do you know#tanner LITERALLY said he wanted to do it in front of peyton who didn't seem opposed to the idea#peyton and tanner may not be besties#but they are good friends and i genuinely dont see why this couldnt happen#if they do a binary bros spinoff and not a keenry one imma cry#i FINALLY got hawk off my screen#and there's more potential for a keenry spinoff#not even being biased it just genuinely sounds more objectively interesting#sleepy’s asks#tanner buchanan#peyton list#brandon nichols#john kreese#terry silver
