#when soo many of his ''original concepts'' are just recolors of existing characters

I could see Ken Penders point with saying how similar the Sonic Chronicles games were to his Knuckles comics and getting upset with that since there was in fact a lot of similarities, granted they were all based around alot of common tropes but he did 'there's a secret society of Echidna, one of the leaders is evil, girl Echidna defects and helps main characters save the day' first in official Sonic media. And considering that his own comic was tanking and Chronicles was set for something like a promised trilogy then yeah, I'd be upset too. But then there's other things like him trying to claim Scourge (Penders made Evil/Anti Sonic but it was Flynn who gave him the redesign) or even trying to claim that it was his idea to make Sonic stand on the wings of the tornado and then I just stop caring.
That and he's trying to sell Sonic NFTs and thinks that he owns Shade because Sega hasn't uses her since the lawsuit.
yeah thats the thing i dont think its inherently bad for him to want ownership of stuff hes made and i can see where hes coming from with the sonic chronicles stuff but then like you said he does things like take sole credit for scourge despite most people who like him liking him based on what other artists and writers did with him, act like he owns the concept of knuckles having a dad, claiming ownership of and selling nfts of designs he didnt make after getting angry over anything similar to something he did being used, etc etc . so no he really doesnt deserve to be defended lmao
#also its wild how he acts like hes the king of originality and everyone else is copying him#when soo many of his ''original concepts'' are just recolors of existing characters#or otherwise heavily rely on stuff that was already there and wasnt created by him to exist#or are just very common tropes or concepts that are too vague to reasonably claim ownership of#not thatmaking characters like that is inherently a bad thing but you cant act like you came up with all that stuff yourself you know#asks#not to mention all the bad stuff hes done/said outside of the specific context of the arguments over ownership of characters#he just not a great guy all around#pissed me off when people went ''hmm... maybe penders is a good guy actually maybe we were too mean to him''#just because he said he was gonna leave twitter over transphobia or whatever
