Heads up: Sonic Prime discussion in 2025

I fucking love how Sonic Prime asks the question “who would Tails be without Sonic?“ and the answer they gave us was: he would be lonely, he would angry, and he would be an actual bad person.

The tragedy of that is such an interesting take on Tails. He’s a happy guy who’s heroic and adorable and just lovable all way round. His character “flaws“ aka what the games establish he needs to work on is his self-image and confidence. like, I can almost see a version of a game or a series that has Tails wondering who hed be without Sonic, and the answer they would give him would be “youd still be fine on your own, cus ur strong in your heart blah blah nlah“ but Prime doesnt DO THAT.

Sonic prime says Tails would be worse off alone. He wouldnt be sad, he wouldnt be crying on the floor, no, he would be ANGRY. He would hate the world and he would trust no one and he would not hesitate to manipulate situations for his benefit. He would do bad things and work with the enemy and then become his own enemy because the world has never given him anything good in return. I love how the existence of Nine makes Tails as a character 100 times more tragic than before. And remember: Nine isnt meant to be an Evil version of Tails, he is just Tails who never met Sonic.

Assuming that Nine is essentially our Tails without the part where Sonic comes into his life (and obviously a few more changes. I hate that fucking eggbaby btw) it basically tells us that Tails, the happy, adorable fox is very much not some sort of “golden hearted boy“ who is unmistakenly good or innocent. That’s just what he was able to cultivate from Sonic raising him. But thats not Tails. Not really. There was so much hate and anger in him that was abruptly stopped because of Sonic coming into his life. Its just so tragic how much of Tails, (a character who worries about being too dependent on others) life is ironically, VERY MUCH depentent on others. He wouldnt be happy without Sonic or their friends. Sonic prime basically said: “Tails cant find happiness on his own.“ and i just love how much that fleshes out his character.

Tails is a happy child who’s a genius and who can be sassy and who is the most adorable little guy all around but aint no way was that ever a given. Tails could be angry, he could be a bad person, there isnt much needed to make him into one. Tails was LUCKY to be taken in by Sonic. It’s tragic. Its ironic. Its SO COOL.

I love this goober and the many, many implications you can find after only hearing like, three seconds of his backstory and one episode of Sonic Prime. My poor baby 😔

THROW THAT BABY INTO THE SUN, I HATE IT SO MUCH ABORT THAT THING

i got physically ill drawing that first image because i had to draw the baby

[descendant-of-truth]

The absolute DELIGHT I felt when I saw this was UNPARALLELED you have no idea

And then Sonic's reaction was EVEN BETTER

"Anyone but Big" followed up with the most dramatic "HOW COULD YOU, NINE?!?" Sonic is capable of producing with the animation to match

You can turn Sonic's team into robots to fight against him and he'll be angry, but Big?? DESPAIR. this is the worst possible outcome for him. Big wasn't even a fighter, he's literally just Sonic's homie, too good for this world too pure

Nine's response playing it completely straight and being 100% serious made it even better, like it somehow enhances the absurdity of the whole situation

And finally: Sonic being so completely thrown off by the existence of the Froggy Nuke that he doesn't even try to dodge it

EASILY one of the funniest sequences in the whole show, I love it here
