If Sonic Boom canonizes Sonamy do you think the games will follow suit?
Protagonist romance ALWAYS ruin stories
>>93284774
Maybe?
SallyxSonic is finally dead.
>>93284837
it was a thing though, at least.
>>93284830
Not necessarily there are shows that do it well, and they ship tease this couple so fucking hard it be less annoying to just say they we're officially a couple.
In fact usually the protagonist shipping fails because they ship tease it forever without actually hooking up and it gets really annoying.
>>93284774
I like that this ship is canon so Amy can stop being a psycho stalker and Sonic can stop being a beta faggot.
>>93284892
I mean, Canon shippings always feels off. I wish most writers treat girlfriends as best friends.
>>93284892
>Not necessarily there are shows that do it well
This is usually the point where you provide actual examples.
>>93284892
Romance takes away the story focus and a lot of time that could be used to important character development, is a parasite.
And honestly if you're in the middle of a suicide mission to save the world would you even think about starting a long term relationship with one of your teamates isntead of focusing in the fucking mission?

Sega went out of its way to kill romance in the comic, so I doubt cartoons have any more freedom.
It's a Sega mandate Sonic NEVER return Amy's feelings. Naka's decree before he jumped ship.
Sucks.
>>93285177
star vs the forces of evil has good shipping.
>>93285461
Come on you can't be serious.
>>93285180
Sonic has a lot of time to chill.
Pretty much every game from Unleashed to Lost World had this tone.
>>93285488
I really wish I wasn't.
>>93285488
Japan, man.
At least he likes her in Boom.
>>93285488
He's right about Naka. He was very stern about that.
Now that he's gone, hopefully someone will make sure his words are followed.
>>93284892
>there are shows that do it well
Alright, name them.
Actually, to any anon that might read this, name the cartoon/anime that made romance right and made the show better becouse of it, i guarantee you're wrong.
>>93285561
Naka's been gone for years, nearly a decade now.
And did you mean his words are NOT followed? Because they basically have been this whole time.
>>93285177
>>93285675
No, followed. Let Amy stay alone and miserable. The only person she should be with is the underside of an 18-wheeler.
>>93285766
>>93285766
Wow, bitter much?
Anyway that's basically what'll happen, so you're good.
>>93285474
It was literally just star mentioning 3-4 times that she thinks Marco sexy and upset why she didn't asked Marco to the reproduction rituals with him instead of letting other female individual to do the job
who the fuck cares
>>93284837
>>93284879
WHAT?
What happened?
>>93285990
The Archie comics were cancelled.
>>93285612
It was fine in Wakfu, off the top of my head. But in general, it's terrible.
>>93285990
The comic's dead, man.
And Sally will most likely never be used in anything ever again.
>>93285612
Dragon Ball
Naruto
Ranma
>>93285990
Archie went batshit with handling the property. So only in game relationships available now.
>>93286102
>Dragonball
>Naruto
Ok now you're just saying random series now right?Those were TERRIBLE ones
>>93286192
>Dragon Ball
>Terrible
Maybe YOU have shit taste.
>>93286081
>>93286133
Did Archie or Sega finally cave in and officially announced it, or is it still speculation?
>>93286102
>name the cartoon/anime that made romance right
>and made the show better becouse of it
>>93285794
>>93285799
Boco has a special kind of autism about Sonic. He spergs out over SatAM, too. Just ignore it and him.
>>93286235
by romance yeah they are fucking TERRIBLE
>>93286282
Z is generally agreed to be better than Dragon Ball.
>>93286281
Subscribers got refunds and its "on indefinite hiatus".
The same term they used to describe Mega Man.
>>93284774
>implying Sega cares what a spinoff does
Next you'll think the Freedom Fighters will get in a game.
>>93285766
Still autistic about best girl, I see.
>>93285766
>>93286328
FUCK you
>>93285705
Just sucks that Toriyama seems hell bent on ruining it now.
>>Chi-chi does literally nothing but nag and put Goku down
>>Goku had gone full retard and is revealed to have never kissed Chi-chi
Dragon Ball should have been left alone.
>>93286065
It is finally official?
>>93287029
It's not official until Ken Penders takes credit for its demise.
>tfw dating a cute autistic girl who loves Sonic and dresses like Amy every Halloween
>we play Sonic games together while she rests her bare feet on my lap
Life can be cool sometimes.
>>93286065
>>93286081
>>93286133
Wow that sucks hard, cause I was rooting for them before they retcon Amy being an annoying rapist. Not that I mind it.
I guess people are taking it relatively well?
>>93285612
Gossip girl with Blair and Chuck...
>>93287923
So she's just naked with a blue vest?
>>93288047
Even if the Archie comics AREN'T cancelled, Sega basically forced Archie to kill the pairing of Sonic and Sally, so the new Sally design is just Sonic's friend.
Personally I feel the pairing never really "worked" for the most part. They felt very forced as a relationship, same way Sonic felt forced into SatAM.
>>93289364
Yeah, that was something I couldnt overlook. From what I seen, no other girl really felt right with Sonic, as far as love was concerned. Just for lust, sure but no one else really meshed well with him to my memory.
>>93286805
Boco will never not be autistic. In fact, I think it's a trait with most namefags.
>>93286908
>never kissed Chi-chi
Wait, WAT. Now, I just lost the last string of respect for Goku.
>>93285612
last airbender
>>93292011
Short version, the made a joke in DBS where Goku wonders why anyone would put their mouth on someone else's.
Long version, Toriyama has gone full autist recently about people seeing Goku as kung-fu Superman and is legit trying to make him as unlikable as possible. On the plus side, Funimation is pretty open about how much they hate this and will probably change it in the dub.
>>93286908
>Goku will fuck his wife and not even bother kissing her.
Wow, what a piece of shit. He probably cums in 10 seconds, and falls asleep right after too.
ShadAmy > SonAmy
>>93292314
>Goku lost his virginity and is still kissless
Hot Take: Knuckles x Amy
>>93285612
>>93292992
>>93293174
Shit taste
>>93289277
Check your eyes.
>dresses like Amy
>>93293263
Actually, >>93293174 if you're referring to Knuckles & Amy in Boom, than you have decent taste
>>93292256
>>93292314
>>93293071
To be honest, Goku is kind of just a dumb, fighting caveman. It wouldn't surprise me if he fucked Chichi in the most animalistic and unromantic way possible.
Literally the first ship I ever sailed
>>93293993
Those are two cute rats
>>93285612
I kinda agree with you, I can't think of a lot of shows where the romance was so well done that it improved the series.
However, using Garfield as your reaction image reminds me of that comic. I think the strip did improve when Jon and Liz hooked up. Allowing Jon to have something nice in his life made his constant pathetic fuck-ups a little more easy to endure, and changing the status quo was sort of refreshing.
Sonic is never allowed to grow up, right? He is supposed to be that cool dude (possibly a teenager?), maybe never accepting his love for Amy is supposed to be a representation of conflicted teenage/young adult emotions. (I'm not ready for this/I don't know what I want).
I hate Boom Amy outfit
>>93294640
Stop
>>93294640
>>93285612
> cartoon/anime that made romance right and made the show better becouse of it,
easy wakfu
I was actually reading about Ken Penders the other day and a lot of the fallout from the legal issues he had with the rest of the world.
I found a list of mandates Sega gave Archie Comics and those in charge of other Sanic media.
It said that Sonic can't go steady with Amy because it ruins their dynamic.
I'm not sure if this counts for Sonic Boom or not. But I kinda figure that if it happens, it will happen first in the games.
>>93284774
>>93284879
Okay can someone explain to me why Sega and Archie went for to different relationships? Seems like a lot of unnecessary bullshit because Sega wouldn't accept Sally or vice versa.
>>93295867
Because Sally & Amy were made at the same time for practically the same purpose.
>>93284774
>their kids are purple
You think something as simple yet brilliant as this would be more common, but this is the only time I've seen this done.
>>93292089
Nice joke f a m
>>93285612
>name the cartoon/anime that made romance right and made the show better becouse of it
Nanatsu no Taizai
>>93285488
Marketing.
The eternal "maybe" status keeps Sonic looking young, appeals to boys young enough to think girls are gross, and keeps it ambiguous enough to still sell mercy that implies they're a couple, like the cutesy keychains they put out.
It's designed for max revenue.
>>93286908
Every single bit of retard-Goku is Toei and the newbies jumping in.
Toriyama changed Goku as a character dramatically during Buu to get away from being pidgeonholed.
>>93296197
Man, I'm surprising that Elizabeth actually got better as character exactly because of Melodias.
>>93296887
Her character was never anything but Meliodas in the first place, might as well expand on that.
>>93285461
He can still date her and fuck her and marry her and have kids with her without returning her feelings though.
that's a story id like to see
>that one time Eggman went fucking bonkers and nearly killed his nephew
>that one time he reset the universe
Jesus Christ I want to know what the writers were on when they wrote this
>>93284774
Sadly, I haven't seen anything new on the net since the latest season.
>>93297221
A deadline to make an alternate world work and a reason to reset continuity for the latter. A reason to make Snively relevant instead of constantly going back and forth on his development, that establishes Eggman's Empire and opens up room for more interesting stories and ends with Snively in a genuinely new situation at the end for the former. Really, the logic behind both stories is very easy to see.
Also Eggman nearly killing his nephew was a separate story from going bonkers, but that ended up going nowhere so it as just a typical comic book plot twist.
>>93297221
I love how they took off his glasses in the arc where he went nuts, and showed him with the black and red eyes he had in the cartoons. It was a creepy, unexpected sight and it gave those panels some extra impact.
>>93284774
No. Japan has shit taste. And even if they didn't, their version of Amy is too crazy and violent.
Does Sonic even like Amy as a friend anymore? Seems like all of the games have at least one scene where they go out of their way to show Sonic is disgusted by her. The only game I remember where he isn't is Unleashed.
>>93284830
No, it only gets social media websites riled up.
>>93297476
>Does Sonic even like Amy as a friend anymore?
Probably not. He just keeps running or acting annoyed. Can you blame him?
>>93297476
>Does Sonic even like Amy as a friend anymore?
The only game where he really doesn't is Heroes. In Unleashed, Colors, Generations and Lost World he's at worst amiable with her.
>>93297476
>violent
u wot
>>93292992
Shadouge is better
>>93297665
He's another "doesn't know shit about Sonic, but still posts about it" type.
>>93284774
Nope.
>>93285612
Arrow
>>93289277
Amy isn't Sally.
>>93297221
I can just hear Jim Cummings saying this
>>93297627
In Boom its implied he does (well more than a friend if at least a little)
then again Amy isn't really that annoying in Boom
>>93293812
There's absolutely no way Chichi didn't kiss him, though.
>>93298534
Sonic normally sees Amy as a friend in every continuity. Boom does seem to be the first one where he may see her as more than a friend, tho.
That being said it doesn't even matter, since Boco has a huge hate boner for Amy, since she killed his dog or something.
Is it true that Boom Amy doesn't have a stalkerish crush on Sonic? (her character's only real personality trait)
>>93298685
It's a secret crush.
>her character's only real personality trait
Hilarious.
>>93298685
It's more of a mutual relationship rhey never acknowledge at this point.
>>93298685
In Boom its more mutual but never stated. There are a few hints and jokes about it here and there
>>93284774
>If Sonic Boom canonizes Sonamy do you think the games will follow suit?
Sonic games can't be spicy.
Sonic is only for Tails.
>>93298984
>Sonic is for Knuckles
FTFY
Best girl wins
