"But why would Sonic still be friends with them why wouldn’t he denounce them or treat them like the villains they are? Why won't he realize they're just evil?"

First of all, has it perhaps occured to you that Sonic loves/cares for them no matter what they do and doesn't want to hurt them if he doesn't have to? Has it perhaps occurred to you that he doesn't see them like irredeemable villains and it's not because he's a dumb dumb idiot?

Second of all, haha keep talking and I'm gonna unroll my character analysis essay. "They're just evil" yeah that's rich. Bet you thought the ending of the series was about "redeeming" them too, huh?

#sondread #sonine #sonic prime #sonic the hedgehog #knuckles the dread #nine the fox #I'm gonna be a prime sonic defender forever at this rate #Anyways I channeled the me from between seasons 2 and 3 who was frustrated at seeing the stuff people were saying about my favs #Prime Sonic somehow seems to compel people to start foam at the mouth as they call him stupid and deride him for being hopeful and seeing #the good and people #and then somehow the people who are willing to be okay about Prime Sonic's tendency to try to save everyone and towards self sacrifice #can only believe it as long as sonic stupidly and naively believes his beloved friends are good people as these 'friends' so skillfully #manipulate him #Then when Sonic sees them at their worst canonically those people start foaming at the mouth when he doesn't instantly denounce or try to #imprison/kill these characters #It makes me less frustrated when it comes to Dread because I can get what people are seeing and unfortunately whatever talk transpired #between Sonic leaving the yoke in s3 and everyone else coming to fight Nine happened offscreen #You do have to dig at least slightly beyond surface level interpretation to get the reading that Dread is more than just an evil guy who was #pretending to not be #(although I would have thought how he originally tried to save his crew from experiencing him at his worst by keeping himself away from his #obsession would mean something but I digress)#With Nine to believe that he's always just been evil and manipulative to Sonic so he could backstab him you quite literally have to ignore #everything we see across the whole series and the feelings that come through in the final episodes of seasons 2 and 3 #and ONLY believe that what Renegade and Shadow say about Nine (and the chaos council in s3) is canon #And yes I do think that if you thought S3 was about redeeming certain characters so the ending could be happy go lucky then you are missing #the point of what Sonic Prime tried to say and of Sonic’s own philosophy #I daresay you missed the point of some of these characters as well if you think their arcs are about how they end with them redeeming #themselves so they can become good people and therefore deserve life and a home #fandom wank #i just be ramblin
