I would rather go back to talking about why sonic porn artists are shit than that garbage the last thread ended on.
>>
I think a lot of ideas that were used in the Penders era was very very good. Including the Romance stuff. Although I also feel that he lost his luster when he started actively sabotaging other writers and was being an egotist.

I kinda miss the wild free range the comic had before the mandates.

>I think a lot of ideas that were used in the Penders era was very very good. Including the Romance stuff. Although I also feel that he lost his luster when he started actively sabotaging other writers and was being an egotist.
That's because half of his ideas were ripped from better media. And even then, a lot of the romance stuff you probably liked wasn't him. It was Bollers
>>
>>144214439
The potential that Penders' ideas had were what interested Flynn the most, if I recall. It was his implementation that squandered it all, as you said.
>>
>>144214439
90s comics in general had a lot of shit in them that were charming but not necessarily executed well. The idea of the Egg Grapes is a fine idea that was cheesy enough to be something Eggman would actually make while being one of his most diabolical and devastating creations. However, I cannot agree that the romance was an aspect that was good. If anything romance should only be present in passing at the very most.
Also >>144214604

>>144214825
Not either of those anons but the only romance I would like in the comics is Antoine and Bunnie having cute moments together since they're married and all. That's about it. If any other married couples get introduced then I guess they can have cute moments too.

I appreciate the feedback. I understand that having limits can be helpful, but I miss when the comic would do anything to catch the reader. Personifications of concepts like Vertical & Horizontal? Humans AND not-quite humans? Fucking Aliens out of nowhere that ended up being the origin of life as it was? Crossovers with Maxx AND Sabrina?

My All-Time favorite wacky thing the Sonic Comic did was Moses teaming up with Robin Hood. Shit was cash to me.
>>
>>144215549
I kind of miss that too, but I like it and hate it for the same reason. It didn't feel like it belonged in a Sonic comic. Granted, that was half the fun of it, because you would never expect this kind of shit in a Sonic comic and it made the world feel a bit more trippy and unique, but it also added some really dumb shit

I recently came across someplace that was complaining about Austin's inks ruining pencil work quite some time ago. The fact it continues to this day proves Archie's not gotten any better about its staffing choices and that we have such good artists on the book now is more luck than anything.

His inks tend to remove the smoothness from a lot of smaller lines. So the end product comes out a little more jaggy than before it got inked. I personally think all pencilers should ink their own pencils so at least if they fuck it up they ruined their own drawing.

This is something only a casual observer would say.

Inking is an entirely different skillset than pencilling and can be extremely difficult, especially when done by hand. It's not just about choosing which pencil lines are important, but also dictating line thickness, fixing errors, determining how much of the shading is left to the colorist, creating art that will actually be readable in color, etc.

It's fucking hard. You want to see how hard, check TSI's poor attempt at re-inking an Endangered Species cover over at the Archie Online forums. Austin was one of the greats, and part of his problem isn't as much that he's not trying as his inking style being suited for the angular, striking style of 80's Marvel rather than the thin, soft curves of modern Architecture Sonic.

>>144220459
>This is something only a casual observer would say.
Nice high horse.
I understand what all goes into inking but no one knows how to follow an artist's lines like the artist that drew them. Part of me thinking that a penciler should ink their own drawings is implying that they know how to ink properly.
>>
>>144220994
>Nice high horse.
I'm just going from experience. It's not the kind of thing most drawfag's would say.

I can't imagine most actual pencil artists wanting to ink by hand; I have a hard enough time inking digitally.
>>
>>144221372
Me either. It's a personal ideal that I think would only work in certain cases but work well in those cases. It would also depend on the pecilers.
>>
>>144220994
Inking is hard as hell, and if I pencilled for Archie, I know for a fact I wouldn't want to ink my own work.
>>
>>144221601
Well now we're just changing the whole statement. Of course it works well for some people, you've got people who exclusively ink their pencils. The idea that--in a "perfect world" where all pencillers are great at inks--all pencillers should ink their own work is so dismissive towards professional inkers and sounds like a misunderstanding of the entire process. It dismisses inking as if it isn't just as integral as coloring for a finalized, colored page. If we're talking about that kind of ideal, why JUST the inker? Why isn't this person also the writer and colorist and letterer and editor so their vision isn't compromised? It's an inherently belittling statement.

>>144225738
>How would Sonic react to not being the fastest?
Considering he got pissed at Jet for even insinuating that shit, I'd say pissed beyond belief. Metal Sonic could briefly move faster than him in CD, but it overloaded his systems, so Sonic can go the fastest for the longest period of time

But I thought Sonic's whole deal was being "the fastest thing alive"
I wouldn't think he'd care too much about machines being faster than him, otherwise he'd probably be incredibly insecure over the existence of hypersonic aircraft
And any and all spacecraft, for that matter
>>
>>144226697
>I wouldn't think he'd care too much about machines being faster than him, otherwise he'd probably be incredibly insecure over the existence of hypersonic aircraft
He wants to be the fastest PERIOD. I don't think he'd mind if spacecraft or planes went faster, but for something like Metal Sonic, he'd certainly mind
>>
>>144226697
I think he'd take some issue with Metal, since he is a metal robot version of him. I figure he'd want to be faster than him rather than just an aircraft.
>>
>>144226056
>>144226697
Well, you also have to consider Super Sonic. Super Sonic probably is much faster then anything we've seen in Sonic's World.
>>
>>144222826
Came back and didn't expect someone to get so triggered over this.
>why JUST the inker
You want to know the similarity between penciling and inking? They both involve the linework. You want to know what penciling and coloring don't have in common? The fucking linework. Have an actual counterpoint to what I think instead of pulling something out of a hat to use. The only belittling statement here is yours for assuming I'm looking at this negatively when the only person that has said Austin doesn't fit is you.
>>
>>144226697
I think Sonic would care about robots/AI. Maybe not so much aircraft or totally mindless machines, but I think Sonic would probably want to be faster than Metal, Silver Sonic, Shard, random badnik, etc. even if they aren't "alive"

Hell, I'd see him thinking of it as sort of a challenge that Eggman built his own Sonic to match him speedwise. I mean, he just straight up races Metal in CD rather than traditionally fight him.

Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds?

I'm saying this again because there is no other reasonable alternative: this HAS to be the opinion of a casual observer. Nobody who has ever inked or colored a piece or art would be this ignorant.

To put this in perspective, we have to remember you're proposing an ideal world where all pencillers do their own inks. You're suggesting that since the inks take the place of the pencils on the final page, the lack of an inker would stop pencils from getting fucked over.

The problem is every other member of the team is just as important. Colors can convey tone, setting, mood, relationships and even levels of action. A bad lettering job can cover up important parts of illustrations and break flow and ruin the reading experience. A bad editor can fuck with the art, add bad effects to the colors, tamper with the script. Shit pencils can be a waste on good inkers and colorists and completely fuck the writer over, and a bad writer can be so vague that it screws the work from the start.

There's nothing wrong with saying "I hate X's inks, the pencillers should do it instead" because that's a judgement on the relative skills of several artists. Suggesting that pencillers should just do their own inks universally is just a ludicrous misunderstanding of how comics work on the level of moronic comments like "Ian shouldn't have to listen to an editor" and "Why do they need a separate person to write the words?"

Keep at it with pointless jargon like how "triggered" I am, though. You're nearly as bad as that moron who thought there was only one definition for tone in writing.

More like where pencillers that can ink do so to their own work. Might want to work on your memory and/or reading skills.
>still going on about all that shit that has nothing to do with pencils and inks
Either keep focused or fuck off. I'm not going to keep arguing my point if you're going to go off on tangents related to things other than PENCILS and INKS.
>is just a ludicrous misunderstanding of how comics work on the level of moronic comments like "Ian shouldn't have to listen to an editor" and "Why do they need a separate person to write the words?"
No, it's not and even if your false equivalence comparison was correct, it would not apply to me because I never said that.

>>

It's not specifically about the CD art style. The image depicts something that's actually faithful to the source material, instead of random peyote fueled plot lines, batshit random characters and settings and style that have fucking nothing in common with the source material.

>>144245580
The source material for the comics was both of the cartoons: SatAM's setting with AoStH's tone. That's because the comics, if you include the mini-series, predate Sonic 2. The first year, again including the mini-series, predate CD. Sonic 3 came out when the comic proper was already at issue 10, Sonic & Knuckles at issue 18. Keep in mind this is also before the days of the Internet, so information on the games was limited to promotional material, and it was pretty much impossible to get info on Japan-exclusive games. Part of the reason why the Adventure adaption sucked (in addition to having to be shoe-horned into Penders' autism) is that they had to import a Japanese copy of Sonic Adventure and rely on anyone who spoke Japanese because Sega didn't give them info on the story.

So like I said, the comics were originally adaptions of the cartoons, not the games.

Honestly I have higher expectations for this than I do any hypothetical Classic themed game that would come out this year. The art alone is selling this for me. Hesse's pencils with Herms' colors? Fucking match made in heaven

Fine then, the cartoons are what's fucked.
And so what if they couldn't get direct material from Japan; the games existed. They could play the games. Just that alone shows such a drastic difference between them and the cartoons that the cartoons and comics are pretty much in name only.

>>144248979
Are you retarded?
The cartoons have the following in common with the games:
Sonic, Tails, and barely rings and Eggman.
Not even these things are depicted the same, especially rings, which function completely differently in satam and don't even exist in aosth besides one episode where they're colored fucking blue. Eggman is renamed Robotnik and has a totally different design and personality. Nothing about the cartoons makes any sense in relation to the games. 99% of the material from the games, from settings to plots to style, are entirely absent, and tons of random shit is thrown in instead.
The comics did take from the games much more, but the representation is all kinds of fucked and it's mixed in with even more bizarre random shit that doesn't make any sense and has zilch in common with the games.

When you're talking about adapting a video game series that has had a grand total of one game with a second in the works and turning it into two syndicated cartoon shows and a monthly comic, sticking to the game material ends up being a very bad thing because it handicaps creativity so much. Granted SatAM probably went too far in the other direction, but it still turned out better than a games-heavy adaptation would've been.
>>
>>144250515
Ha. Hahaha. Hahahahaha.
The general message of Sonic was present in Satam and his more cartoon aspect was present in AoStH.
Both the shows and comics worked with what they had and took creative liberties with what was provided. Ian managed to straighten out most of the canon problems in less than 2 years and with the reboot has made it almost exact with the game universe with a few additions.
>>
>>144250515
>And so what if they couldn't get direct material from Japan; the games existed. They could play the games
In the case of SA1, it's because the game wasn't even out yet. If I recall, Sega was doing this for all things Sonic-related, basically forcing them to tie into SA1 without giving them a copy of the game, and since the game wasn't out yet in America, they had to wing it

Marron is the replacement name for the version that "is" Rouge's mother. Basically Nega Noir.

>>144276192
A few boorus (X and Furry have her but I'm not sure about Dan or Gel, wouldn't be surprised if there was more), rule34 (dot) xxx, e621. And what I meant by having her tagged as both I mean one picture with both tags. Most of these have both "Noir_the_Bat" and "Marron_the_Bat" as tags with different pictures under each.

And hell, I even found an old RP site with an RP profile for her that I believed is abandoned.

>spoiler
I've read that a few times but I'm falling asleep at the keyboard here so I'm a bit confused, sorry about that. Maybe in the morning it'll be obvious to me and I'll feel dumber than usual.

And sorry about asking you about old shit so much.
Also I actually like Noir's design but I'm still not sure if I think it fits "Rouge's mother" or "Older Rouge" better.

First there was Noir, mother of Rouge. With the time her look changed a bit and I decided to try making her a bit different than that. So there are two. Noir the Bat who is not related to Rouge and a nice person, and the old nasty Noir, who I've renamed Marron.

Alright, thanks and stuff. One last thing and then I'll leave this subject alone for now.

I just checked gel and dan, only gel has her under the "Noir_the_Bat" tag. Also of course there's the chance that all of these sites and others have pictures of her under just "tagme" or no tags at all even.

Any booru or site like that, that requires the users to get any tagging done instead of requiring the uploader to include a minimum number of tags or else it won't let them upload is pretty shitty. Any site that requires someone to make an account there before it'll let you add tags is even worse. Rustles my jimmies when shit is not tagged correctly.
I'd say go ahead and call me autistic but where the hell do you think we are?

I really wish they'd just give Tails a solid character and not make him an underaged self-insert, /ss/-bait character.

I'm just really getting sick and tired of all these Tailsfags projecting their shit onto him. Honestly I'm willing to take an even more extreme version of Lost World's Tails if it means giving him a solid character.

Actually yea, you know what. Make him an edgy ass, stereotypical pre-teen/teenager. That'll probably be the best thing to happen to him since his debut.
>>
>>144284058
I kinda want to disagree with you, but i don't

>>144284058

He was sorta getting this vibe of "tired coder" in the comics that was pretty good pre-reboot.
>>
>>144284198
At which point in the pre-reboot because I remember that when Ian took over he pretty much ignored Tails after House of Cards until the point to where he was actually decaying as a character. Eventually that carried over into the post-reboot and we got something from him in the Sonic Fighters arc but since we've had nothing.

Personally I believe Ian just doesn't like writing or even dealing with Tails and I can't really blame him. The character is essentially mandated to be nothing but a sidekick with barely any personality.
>>
>>144282073
Sonic the Pachinkohog
>>
>>144284481

More just the fact that he's always in the computer room in the background, just doing shit, eating donuts.

You're right though, he was sorta just a background character for a little while there.
>>
>>144284481
Tails should be the straightman to Sonic.
>>
>>144284481

Thinking about it now, it's extra weird that the reboot has been so barren for tails, considering Tails Sky Patrol AND Tails' Adventure are confirmed canon in the comics. I guess his games were more interesting than him...or, at least, they won't let him get as interesting as he should be.
>>
>>144284857
They can't do that in the comics because Sally already fills that role. I'm talking about a personality that fits both the comics and the games.
>>
>>144285290
just write him like Boom Tails. He's competent and over confident, intelligent and surrounded by people who aren't, but he doesn't look down on them, jsut becoming frustrated once in a while.
>>
>>144285290
How the hell do we fix Sally? I have no idea, even when she became a robot people wouldn't stop kissing her ass.

Honestly the Slap is looking more and more justified, because although it made her dislikeable it at least gave her some character.
>>
>>144285191
Well, honestly when you think about Tails since Ian started he's really just been treated as a punching bag.
Pre-reboot:
>Get's heartbroken (Even though this plot line was universally agreed to be stupid as fuck it still counts.)
>Father turns out to be actually stupid.
>Mother is a legitimate manipulative sociopath.
>Fights his best friend and it only ends in a "I promise I won't wrong you again :^)" There wasn't really any sort of make-up for what Sonic apparently wronged Tails on.
>Thrown into the background.
>Gets shut down or talked above when trying to communicate with his anti-self in a fashion that almost seems like he's being treated as a child.
>Has a Kuckoo rival that outclasses him in every way.
>Rival never shows up against him again. Just fucks around with other characters so the issue is never resolved.
>The Kuckoo themselves end up being big-bads for the FFs as a whole to deal with instead of just Tails' problem which effectively turned Tails' Universe arc into an introduction to another enemy. Retrospectively it wasn't even about Tails.
>Tails noticeably no longer has a big impact on anything. Most of the time he could be non-existent and it wouldn't matter.

Then we get to the post-reboot:
>Has to relive his memories of his parents.
>Literally does nothing more than sit at Sky Patrol with the occasionally ground trip.
>In Sonic Fighters he get's his ass whooped within a few pages.
>Although he's said to have impact on the story he rarely ever does.

I can kinda see why a lot of Tailsfags dislike Ian now.

Sooo basically what Rotor's turning into?

Honest truth, even as a kid I never understood why Rotor was a character. Tails already fit his bill, and it never seemed to me that he had a purpose that wasn't filled by tails.
>>
>>144286396
The fact of the matter is that regardless of the writer Tails seems to be stuck in this personality limbo where if they try to give him one he'll just stomp on someone else's.

That's the biggest problem when characters go undefined for as long as Tails is. You end up with a character that is no longer able to be defined unless you deliberately make them grating or unlikable.

Which is why I said >>144284058

The saddest part is that I'm a Tailsfag and honestly I hate how Tails is now his role in almost all the media besides the Boom TV show has been reduced to inconsequential or plot exposition.
>>
>>144286639
Even Rote surpasses him at this point.
>>
>>144286639
>Tails seems to be stuck in this personality limbo

That's because he's been shoehorned into weird roles. Tails is Sonic's sidekick and he can fly, where'd all this inventor bullshit come from?
>>
>>144287504
Honestly I like him being an inventor. It gives a more balanced aspect of Team Sonic. You have Sonic with Speed, Knuckles with Strength and Tails with the brains.

I don't think Tails being really smart was ever the problem. The problem was that despite having all this to work with, they never expanded upon him or gave him a goal outside of the immidiate plot or any real aspirations to begin with.

The problem isn't his powers/abilities. The power is that he has nothing defining him as a character other than said abilities.

It's like how people nowadays identify themselves purely by the sexual orientation.

"I'm gay."
"And?"
>>
>>144287776
No, it doesn't work because the Brains would some manner of authority over the others, while Tails is not even close to being Sonic's or Knuckles' equal. He's the utility guy, he can fly, he can swim, and he's almost as fast/strong as the other two.
>>
>>144287973
The possible reason why he doesn't have much authority over Sonic and Knuckles is possibly because he's literally half their age maybe?

Regardless I don't think it's his inventor stuff that holds him back. Because even if we did get rid of that we still have the personality problem. He has no goal or aspirations and as of Lost World he's hardly a good sidekick. So hypothetically if we were to get a semi-sequel to Lost World that continued that trait with Tails but then gimped his intellect exactly what would he have at that point?
>>
>>144288153
As far as I'm concerned the games are already fucked in terms of having decent characters or a plot so that's irrelevant.

As for the comic, Tails being the smart inventor-guy basically makes him an apprentice to fucking Rotor instead of Sonic. That is absolutely unacceptable.
>>
>>144288374
Well considering that it was Sega of America's fault for not getting the point across that Tails was an inventor to begin with...

I mean yea, Tails was buff to hell in Adventures but you can't fucking tell me a child fixing a propeller plane engine and being able to manually fly it isn't something a brainiac would be able to do.

What I'm getting at is that Rotor stomped on Tails position if we want to get technical but that's irrelevant because as far as the comics are concerned Tails is thoroughly fucked regardless. There is no place for him to be in because of the sheer amount of characters already taking up roles he could fill.

>>144288564
He's the Gohan, the kid with potential. He's able to keep up with Sonic, and unlike Knuckles/Shadow he's loyal and helpful.

Yes, but what exactly does this translate to for the comics? There's fuck all of a role to fill there.
>>
>>144288709
Basically >>144288805

It'd feel out of place and Sonic is already constantly surrounded by other characters anyway.

So ultimately both the comics and the games have a problem with his character but for separate reasons.

The comic's issue is that there are simply way to many fucking characters.
>>
>>144288805
>>144288908
Either he sticks with Sonic or he's the stand-in when he's not there. It's not that hard.

I like how they send down Antoine and Sally to fight giant robots while Tails stays in his shitty airplane to provide support. How weak do they think he is?
>>
>>144286639
Well there is a way to give Tails more personality. Just make him like he was in Adventure/Adventure 2. In those games he learns how to be more independent from Sonic and he learns how to be more courageous. The first thing he does in Adventure 2 is break into Prison Island to save Sonic. He's confident, but not overly so, and acts as the strategist of the group. Notice how nearly all the actions that the heroes take in Adventure 2 because of Tails' influence. He frees Sonic from Prison Island, finds out where Eggman and the Chaos Emeralds are, and comes up with a plan to stop the Eclipse Cannon.

Another thing to note about this is that even though he does come up with most of the plans that the heroes follow, he doesn't act as a leader, most of these plans are not orders but suggestions that the heroes follow. So he's a clever strategist and inventor but not a leader, and he can't really think on his feet as proven by how his plan was dismantled in Adventure 2. As for a more defined personally and ambitions, work with what we see in Adventure 1. That is, Tails' goal is to work for the public good by building inventions that help people and stop Eggman. So portray Tails as a kind person that works hard in order to make people happy and to create genuine positive changes in the world. The only problem with these traits are that most of them are already taken by Sally and Rotor, because Tails in SATam was just a useless little child.

So, lets discuss it. What role could this two tailed shitbag actually fill?

Sally - Tactician and Leader.
Sonic - Face and Hero.
Rotor - Mechanic and Ship Command
Bunnie - Heavy support and sweetheart.
'Twan - Secondary support/all round guy.

One thing that is missing is something sleuthful like a spy. Going around and sabotaging shit, since he's got the brainiac thing going, he can hack shit and plausibly do a whole lot of other stuff, but, it brings with it more Rouge /ss/

Sticks with Sonic, breaks off when he has to, gets something borked for the team.
>>
>>144289273
>Either he sticks with Sonic.
Not possible with how big the cast is. Sonic's adventures needs to have other character join in with him lest those characters also become decadent and decay.

>He's the stand-in
That's what Bunnie is for.

Also on the topic with your Gohan-esque thing. That would still make Tails smart since Gohan is the second smartest character in the entire franchise, next to Bulma. In terms of Good Guys at least.
>>
>>144289446
I agree with you 100%.

The two biggest problems are:
The games are being written and created by a bunch of hacks and the Comic book is overstuffed and crowded with Characters.

Adventure 1,2 and Sonic Battle is pretty much picture perfect Tails in my eyes desu. Sonic Riders had a bit of his personality too.
>>
>>144289524
Yeah, but he still fights. He doesn't sit in a control room and aim turrets.

>>144289463
He can fly. Do you know how fucked you are if you try to fight someone who can fly?

This might be an interesting thing to see develope, especially since foxes are known to be naturally cunning and sneaky.

The Rouge /ss/ though would be a negative side-effect though.

Pic related, but what does it have to do with this context? Nothing I said subtracts from any other ability, just putting down a plausible role for him that might bring out some more personality. And one like this fits his independence thing.
>>
>>144289773
Flying isn't really a role nor is it relevant when every other character has access to a machine/ability that let's them fly anyway.

Also, in the comics Ian has deliberately shown us that Tails is inadequate when it comes to combat.

I have an idea. Why not take a page from Sonic X and make him fight in mechs/battle armor? He can provide support the Sonic and the others as well as fighting on the field with them, and it would make him a much more useful character overall.
>>
>>144290038
I don't like how that's shown him to being competent in combat when in-context it was pretty much just a sucker punch that Metal simply did not see coming.
>>
>>144290176
That could be his niché. Like Luigi, everyone forgets about Tails. Everyone forgets that he's basically a slightly slower Sonic who can fly.
>>
>>144290162
Almost every single one of his triumphs in combat was due to him either sucker punching someone or them just not expecting it. Except for the case when he fought Mecha Sally where out of fucking no where he had super strength and for some reason was able to tear through metal with his Tails even though that was never a power he had before or even afterwards.

Fuck I mean Honey, a clothes designer, was able to just toss his straight out of the rank even though he could have stopped himself if he had tried to fly so even in a 1 on 1 combat scenario Tails isn't too fast on thinking.
>>
>>144290390
Tails is naive, that's supposed to be his weakness.
>>
>>144290451
You still have the whole part where it seems to be a deliberately recurring theme that he tries to avoid head-on combat.

Shit even when he was about to fight Sonic he made sure his head was turned before he threw a punch because he knew he wouldn't have gotten one in there anyway.

My point still stands. He isn't a competent fighter. He's good at maneuvering and sucker punching though.

Tails doesn't need all the action you Mongolian. He's the sidekick for a reason, he also happens to feature in almost every issue so I don't know what you're going on about. However, this, or anything else that is plausible, is *something* he can do.

>>144290170
It's nice I suppose, but Rotor kinda filled that role both pre genesis with his battle armor wannabe iron man suit thing, and post genesis by being a ship commander. Also Bunnie, to an extent, fills that role as well with her blaster cannon.

>>144290176
Not only that, him being naive or not, I felt like it was written in solely because he lost to SOON. He did manage to crack Metal's face though, which I've never seen done.

>>144290390
Tails was shown to have super strength with his Tails in a few games, Adventure and Advance (I think, never played it.) where he used them to attack.

Hell, that tail swoop attack was straight up the most OP thing in Adventure 1.
>>
You know what, I'll just say it outright before this get's heated.

I don't think Tails should be defined in a combat role primarily. I don't think it suits him as a character nor does it add onto him.

I think he'd be better as >>144289446 and >>144290170 stated. He uses mechs and gadgets to help him fight.

How come no character is allowed to keep up with Sonic on their own?
>>
>>144290916
>What is Shadow
>What is Metal Sonic
And that's just counting speed.
I'd go so far as to say that Knuckles and Amy could go toe to toe against Sonic if he didn't have too much space to move around in.

The biggest problem with Sonic is that right now he is literally one of the most overpowered video game characters to date.

His base form at this point is straight up god-slayer and he has several canon forms all of which can shit on literal entities of nature with little to no effort.

The point is that no one CAN keep up with Sonic because Sonic is just THAT powerful at this point.
>>
>>144291097
Shadow has jetboots, was created in a lab and knows magic. Metal Sonic has a chaos emerald.

I don't mind Sonic being fast, but Tails somehow keeping up with him despite always being left off-screen is sort of the whole point of his character.

Sonic couldn't cause a tenth of the carnage that characters like Lo Wang, Duke, Sam and motherfucking Doomguy could. Sonic can't even chase down master plan. Not refuting your point, just that it isn't completely sound. Sonic is the good guy and good guys always win after all.
>>
>>144291279
Not since Adventures, which pretty much cemented him as a separate sort of powerhouse.

In terms of powerlevel Sonic is untouchable and he already has two rivals that can keep up with him.

A good question to you would be why can't Tails have his own niche? Why does he have to always follow behind Sonic to play catch-up? That mindset has already gotten us to the position we're at with him now.
>>
>>144291639
Again, he can fly. He doesn't need to catch up with Sonic because he can just fly to where he's heading.
>>
>>144291696
He might not catch up, but he keeps up. Sonic may be the fastest thing to run on the face of Mobius, but that doesn't stop Tails from being the fastest to fly over it.
>>
>>144291696
Okay so then what? Is that all he can do? Just fly as fast as Sonic can run?

I mean shit Amy has more capabilities than that.

Furthermore Sonic hardly needs aerial support since his homing attack actually homing onto aerial enemies is a canon thing so Tails' usefulness in flight is redundant.

That's a very small and limited roll you put him in since now he's only useful on the very extreme occasion that Sonic can't use his homing attack.

Honestly, one of the biggest problems he has is that since he's "Sonic's sidekick", apparently that means he's not allowed to interact with anyone fucking else. Have we ever seen him have any meaningful interactions with Amy? Or Knuckles? Or even Shadow? (Outside of getting bitchslapped into the next dimension by him in X)
>>
Sonic's thing is Speed. Tails is Sonic's Sidekick, so his thing is Flight, which is something that is inherently tied to and very similar to Speed. Because of this simple fact, Tails has to be capable of doing most of what Sonic can do, to some degree.

It's similar to characters like Knuckles, Metal Sonic, or Shadow, who's abilities are defined by being equal to Sonic in some way.

Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Metal Sonic, and whoever else have abilities that are largely defined by their correlation to Sonic's abiltiies.
Example: If Sonic can run at the Speed of Light: Shadow can move at the same speed, Knuckles can punch with an equivalent amount of Power, Tails can fly fast enough to come close enough to lightspeed, etc.

Honestly Tails had been decaying as a character even before Ian took over. Hell, every character not named Sonic, Sally, Fiona, and Shadow was essentially rotting, and Fiona's only there because of the bullshit love triangle

That doesn't invalidate the point you're making, just pointing that out
>>

Except almost every Tailsfag on here is damn near retarded as well because 90% of Tailsfags just like Tails because he's easy to self-insert as.

95% of them like him for the porn and then you have the last 5% that don't nor do they like him as a self-insert.

And the oppressive government that was using loopholes in itself to jail anyone who questioned the King/Queen and eventually people started over flooding the prisons so they eventually had a choice between either killing them all off for what they said or shipping them somewhere else to maintain rule.

I'm not saying USA is better numbskull I'm just clearing up the fact that Britain was literally shipping away hundreds of people because they ran out of room in their prisons because they kept on locking up people just for simply doubting the government and used the guise of religion to do so.

USA itself is it's own shithole but hey at least we're not literally getting cucked out of our ethnic existence by middle-eastern immigrants...yet.

I'm a Tailsfag myself so typically I stay away from the topic altogether because it generally makes me look bad but this has been the one exception of Tails discussion that didn't turn into shitposting.

Most Tails discussions usually end up with either shitflinging or it just goes straight into cringtown.

The "Tails should fight Sonic" discussion is a prime example of this.

Not only that there have been multiple /sthg/ polls that showed that most people dislike Tailsfags because they are clearly the most autistic of our bunch.

But we didn't have a Tails drama for a good time. Why bring it up out of nowhere?

Also saying Tailsfags are autistic while saying you are a Tailsfag is calling yourself autistic. Which is rather funny seeing how everywhere outside this general people views Sonicfags (not the character, but the series) as autists.

Grandmasters of the Dark Egg Legion didn't see much use unless their names were Lien-da or Beauregard. But the heroes simply didn't have very many distinctive allies, with most of them having been soundly and cleanly replaced.

Kirby as a franchise is a god damned mystery as far as corporate entrepenuership and even game design goes really.

The franchise itself is targeted at little kids and people who genuinely do not play games too much so the games are made to be extremely easy however for some reason the fundamentals of the games make it easy but at the same time extremely fun so you end up with this weird thing where your demograph is still getting targeted while you always have a surge of fans from other part.

The story is at a whole 'nother level of fuckery since there is actual fucking lore in the games and anime that actually makes sense and while the games themselves only have a very loose plot they almost always align with eachother so you actually have a solid timeline of events while also have backstory.

The anime itself was also rock-fucking-solid with it's story as well as comedy.

Kirby honestly is a very well made franchise even though it has really no right to be. It's probably one of the most solid franchises Nintendo has when it comes to story as well.

Not him but the Council of Acorn was irredeemably shit. They did absolutely nothing but hold everyone back for the sake of nothing but their own selfish power but yet right up until the last few issues we were supposed to believe they were good guys.

The Council of Acorn is genuinely the worst idea Ian ever had when it comes to the comic books in my opinion.

Do not EVER fucking put politics into a comic book that is targeted at children. You will never fucking get the message across clearly and furthermore it'll only serve to corrupt and dilute the plot whenever they're brought up.

If you are going to bring in politics then you at the very least need to show them in an equal part of good and bad light however the Council of Acorn was nothing but fucking horrible.

Have you ever played a Metal Gear game? I wouldn't say there is some Penders-tier bullshit in the series, but there is. Kind of like how almost all of the male villains are legitimate assholes (except for Big Boss, Zero, and maybe Solidus) while the female antagonists are "tragic" dindu nuffins. Sound familiar?

Something on par with Metal Gear Solid, Snake Eater, or Peace Walker (which have a pretty good intrigue-to-logic ratio) could work, but anything more "deep" than that would have to be seriously rewritten. Or better yet, not imitated at all.

I would argue against that, since they took some weird liberties, like the Cappy town and having several of them as common friends/allies of Kirby (let alone sentient), as well as Kabu and the warpstar whatever that's about.

You know, if the GUN book had some political schmucks, I see it playing out better solely for the fact that Shadow and his crew are basically a Black Ops team, so they're not exactly bound by the law.

Let's say a Mega Man show were announced, what would you expect the show to be like?
Probably about Mega Man battling robots through metropolises, factories and strange worlds, taking robot master weapons, invading Dr. Wily's castles and fighting super machines, slice of life moments when Mega Man is living with Dr. Light, occasional run ins with the likes of Proto Man and Bass, and maybe some undertones of man and machine AI free will philosophy stuff.
Makes sense right?
Let's say that after the Mega Man show was announced, it's revealed to be a sitcom format where Mega Man, Roll, Light, and Proto Man are living together in an apartment, and Dr. Wily is the comic relief who's not really a threat and shows up sometimes for laughs, and that's all it is.
Would that make any fucking sense? Would that be excusable at all?
People would be confused and up in arms about such an awful concept, especially since, here's a chance for a Mega Man TV show and what the fuck are they even doing.
Maybe novel and entertaining at most, but fucking stupid and shitty.

Let's say a Sonic show were announced, what would you expect the show to be like?
Probably about Sonic running through beautiful and surreal landscapes, exploring locales like South Island, action set to funk, pop and rock music, destroying badniks and rescuing animals, fighting Dr. Eggman's machines and saving islands and sometimes the world, collecting the chaos emeralds and going Super Sonic on rare occasion, maybe travels with Tails often, occasional run ins with Knuckles and Amy, maybe some undertones of nature vs technology philosophy.
Makes sense right?
So let's say after the Sonic show was announced, it was revealed to be a sitcom format where Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy live together in an apartment

Fans have a right to be pissed, but if the show was as surprisingly well written as Boom, it'd be fine. Fuck, it'd probably be better than whatever the fuck the Man of Action cartoon's going to be.
Because for what Boom's trying to do, it fucking works. The jokes are well written and the character interactions are incredibly solid. Honestly it's the best Sonic show, though not like there's competition (OVA doesn't count because it's an OVA and not a regular cartoon, but if it was then it'd be better than Boom)

It was originally a series that was cancelled and the remains compiled into a movie.
Of course, Boom is the series that should get episodes, not the OVA, that makes total fucking sense. God forbid we have a Sonic series that's actually good and faithful to what it was. Nah, the problem is that Sonic needs a FRESH TWIST, a NEW BRAND IMAGE.

>They and you are fucking idiots. How is posting SANIC as an OFFICIAL PR for the series a good job you imbecilic fuck?

because the self-depreciation and memery shows to the public that at least one person at Sega is at least mildly aware of the current state of the franchise and isn't afraid joke about it, while generating a lot of publicity at the same time

That wasn't me so, there must be someone else.

>>144368369
I'm going to be honest, the writing in Boom is good, and the humor is sometimes good. I won't deny that, but the problem is that this is all the more depressing since it's quality put into the worst thing possible. It justifies undermining the official series for this shit. It shouldn't exist. It's cancer and it's only fueling cancer in the fanbase that kills Sonic further.

the current state of the franchise is bad BECAUSE of shit, tasteless memes and the direction it's been taking since 2010.

That's already a fucking retarded reason, but even so, there has to be a balance. Posting shitty memes over and over is stupid and just shows how much of sad bastards he and anyone who enjoys it are.

He isn't an actual threat though. If he was Sonic would lose.

Yup, can totally imagine Mike just talking like normal. Those witchcart siblings are fucked if they don't manage to get away in the chaos that comes with fighting crystal metal sonic and the rebrained washed witchcarters along with the dark gaia monsters.

Too bad about Shade being apart of that piece of shit Sonic Chronicles game I didn't mind her too much even if she apparently was a complete ripoff of a comic character I don't know. I doubt Sega or the comic writers will ever touch Tikal again. especially with her being dead and all unless they go through the Sonic adventure plot for some reason.

Gotta have a weak mind. All of the Egg bosses are definitely not that, you can't be weak minded if you joined Eggman out of your own free will. Especially when several of them already know the shit he's done. They have an uphill battle ahead of them and considering the mooks they brainwashed before are already ruffed up, Eggman's goons really only have to worry about the monsters and metal sonic.

I think the implication is that the cybernetics are all internal, and thus the crystal magic can't reach it through the living matter.

My theory on the Council of Acorn is that they were intentionally awful, because they represented an anxious and insecure populace. You know, that thing Elias is supposed to be helping with by being a heroic king, but failing at because he's young and inexperienced.

There was a plot arc there. And it could have been non-shit. But then we got into a Pender-bender, and now here we are asking why everything was so horrible for two years straight.

You see this would make sense if Ian had actually written them to be in a bad spotlight but they never were up until the very last few issues in the story and by that point it was too late, the damage was done.

The biggest problem with the CoA is that they were meant to be right and just even though everything they did always caused more problems and only served to stagnate or hold down the plot.

Not to mention that on an individual level ALL of them were pieces of shit.
Penelope: That asshole who thinks she knows better.
Hamlin: That other asshole.
Rosemary: Legitimately tried to have her son and his friends court martialed or at least labeled as traitors. (I still do not understand how the hell Ian thought this was a good way to write a mother figure.)
Rotor: Became irrelevant completely for the longest time.
Uncle Chuck: Probably the only tolerable one.

Then there was that new girl who showed up and ended up trying to correct their mistakes because it was obvious that at that point Ian knew he screwed up with them but as I said, this was literal years after the damage had been done. There was no redeeming the CoA no matter how hard Ian tried.
>>
>>144390708
Considering the endless interruptions around that time I assume he had more important things to think about.

And politics probably shouldn't be a part of Sonic anyway, unless it involves a drooling Naugus accompanied by a Geoffrey blowing the fuck out of everyone.

>>
>>144391129
>Yeah, to show the inevitable conflicts of a shift in government
Except none of their decisions made any logical sense even on a political standpoint. They were literally used just to artificially lengthen plots or to force plot points that would otherwise not need to happen and because of that Ian tried to write them in good light even though nothing they did was good and he didn't realize that until it was too late.

>and when time came to show the overall benefit there were a million other plotlines that needed to be wrapped up instead.
This was honestly a combination of Ian wanting to do the Mecha Sally arc to begin with and then the Penders incident kicked in.

You may think that they were intentionally bad but that doesn't excuse them for doing nothing but corrupting and polluting the plotline. If Ian really wanted/needed to get rid of those characters he could have simply written them out of the story.
>>
>>144391481
>corrupting and polluting the plotline.

I mean this in no sarcastic manner, as I do not recall the specifics of that period with immense accuracy, and do not currently have the time to look up and read a swath of 10 or so comics in a row. But:

Was the pacing of plotlines and storytelling at the time damaged in some capacity by those events? I thought the loss of a "home base" leading into the Team Freedom and Team Fighters concept was a solid return to form. I can't think of anything that was actually slowed down in a meaningful fashion.

>They kicked out Nicole after the Mina concert with little to no thought about the repercussions of such furthermore they also seemed to have entirely forgotten that Nicole pretty much saved all their asses during the Iron dominion.

Them letting in Naugus was on it's own level of stupidity since literally 3 out of the 5 members of the council have directly suffered and seen how Naugus works yet they still allow him to be King (eventually being nerfed to a glorified council member) even though literally all of them knew he was bad news and the whole fucking point of democracy is to establish and change laws when the need arises which pretty much makes their entire existence fucking moot.

I choose to file that under "Amadeus Prower and his wife Rosemary are fucking idiots." It's a pretty long list, but a few more entries won't hurt any.

Seriously. If I was told that Tails's parents were evil and just looking to weaken the nation to make it easier to take over later, it would all make more sense. Even their characterizations would, come to think of it...

Rosemary wasn't stupid. She was just a manipulative cunt who only cared for herself. Need I remind you she emotionally manipulated her own son to break 2 laws just to get her husband out and then just let him fight his best friend without trying to counsel or calm him down even though she knows that his friend is basically fucking god.

Rosemary is the Locke of mothers.
>>
>>144396240
Pretty much what I was driving at. Hell, Amadeus isn't any better. His behavior makes it hard to see him as anything other than the King's disgruntled general. For all his talk of standing for the commonfolk, his revolution changed very little. The Kingdom of Acorn went from actively corrupt to passively corrupt, but there was clearly no real vision for how things ought to be, save that a king should not have real power over it.

If anything, Rosemary and Amadeus seem to be excellent foreshadowing for Miles. A shame nothing ever came of that.

I don't really know what you meant when you said "seem to be excellent foreshadowing for Miles." unless you're implying Tails was going to turn evil at some point or something.

There was still a ton of cool stuff, though, but you can always find something not so good no matter where you start. Even the reboot isn't immune to this.

I was going more for the idea that Miles is a self-obsessed prick, and so are they. We're not sure who raised Miles, but we know Tails was raised by the Freedom Fighters. They taught him to be inspired by others, and so to be humble without losing one's own pride.

Miles does not have this. He's a smug douche, yes, but even moreso he's someone who thinks he's special, and is offended by the idea that someone else's 'specialness' (real or perceived) could possibly be of value. He's basically drowning in envy over nothing, because he's small and weak and not all that good at those things he's decided arbitrarily to be his and no one else's.

Mr. and Ms. Prower's revolution makes more sense (to me, at least) if viewed as them literally being deeply offended that someone had something that they felt they wanted but could not obtain.

tl;dr Tails is a sidekick, and thus his dark side involves a lot of envy. His parents represent that in many ways even better than Miles's own self-satisfaction does.

So for those of you outside of Canada, Canadian postal codes are six digits of alternating letters and words. The postal code S0N 1C0 does in fact exist, assigned to the village of Hazenmore, Saskatchewan. No other S0N 1C postal codes exist.

First of all, it'd be pretty difficult considering the character was based on salvaging several different shitty stories. The current book is trying to start with characters being decent out of the gate instead of finding ways to spin shitty characters.

Second, everything about Lien-Da runs contrary to the current objectives of the book. She's a cheesecake character who got depth later. You're not going to get a character like that again because the current staff is both aware of and not prone to playing into the internet's need to fetishize the book's female cast. They make characters to be entertaining first and foremost, so you're not gonna get another hourglass-figured woman running around in a skin tight catsuit.

You can make a character who's as big of a bitch as Lien-Da easily, but the aesthetic and pseudo-complex narrative around her aren't coming back.

The Nocturnus were an homage to the Dark Legion from the comics, and Shade was Julie-Su in that she defected from the Nocturnus and is shipped with Knuckles. In execution they're fairly different, and a sane person would be fine with their work on one part of a licensed franchise being referenced in a different part of that franchise. But Penders isn't a sane person.

Shut up you dumb cunt, Tails has agency and is a Freedom Fighter - key word, freedom fighter, he fights for freedom.

His father was locked up unjustly, fuck off if you say >b-b-but RIOTS

Tails logically, in character and morally, intervened and broke his father out. He would have done that anyway because the law was corrupt.

>>144439094
How about a nice game of
Sonic Shuffle.
>>
It still astounds me there are people, not just dumb SEGA forums idiots, people in these very threads who don't get the simple as fuck intent Flynn wrote into the story and confirmed outside of the story.

Absolute Monarchy is dated and bad, King Acorn was corrupt, Tails parents fighting for democracy was good. Sonic was only conflicted because of personal ties to Sally.

Nicole having unlimited nanite power and control over everybody's lives was a legitimate concern and the Freedom Fighters proximity clouded their judgment to the growing concern and actual problems of the people.

The Freedom Fighters were set up and behaving like a lawless millita group, which was good when Robotnik ruled the entire earth, but not acceptable once normal society had resumed. They needed oversight or a reformation. Ignoring all council laws was a bad thing.

At least with the reboot this solves all those problems one way or the other.

The games are funny, they very subtly suggest that over the course of the games that Amy and Sanic have been getting it on together on a regular basis, but Sanic is too cool for a proper relationship.

Sonic Adventure - Amy was all about being his GF

SA2 - Amy mentions marriage 'n shit

Sonic Heroes - Darling Sanic

Sonic Battle - Amy all about having kids

There's probably others but it's been a long time since I touched a Sanic game really

Never seen that confirmation, but okay. Seems like a weird way to tell those stories, what with all the overt bureaucratic corruption and what-not. (see: Naugus, Hamlin)

Personally, the idea that general public anxiety derived from lack of effective protection against an ever-increasing number of threats might lead to a growing resentment towards those protections deemed unreliable - I.E. monarchy, Nicole - is plenty enough to justify the depicted events.

The thing about the Freedom Fighters being a lawless militia group is where I do disagree though. The concept that law means anything at all when public security cannot be even mostly guaranteed is disgusting. It's the exact same self-indulgent authoritarian trash that makes Absolute Monarchy awful in every way. The part where an elected body is doing it changes nothing.

>>144440517
While I understand the intent and agree with it, the problem is that way too much of that was told rather than shown. Max was a non-issue and Elias was both not a shitty ruler and considered a hero for wanting to get *his* throne back. The "good" of the council was immediately undone from a storytelling perspective when they gave an obvious villain the throne for retarded reasons and then went along with the majority of his decisions. The Freedom Fighters' independence was never actually shown as a bad thing outside of brief "they don't respect mah authoritah" moments. The only legitimate issue was Nicole, and even that was done in a retarded way; she still had control over the city and the only time that was an issue is when she was "mind" controlled, so their solution is to tell her to not have a physical form in the city via the honor system.

So while I can see the reasons why those plot threads were created, they were executed horribly.

Literally everything you just said in that post is nothing but head canon. It's barely worth a rebuttal because literally everything that the CoA did regardless of what Ian's intent was, always fucking backfired...always.

In the old continuity the Freedom Fighters were a direct arm of New Mobotropolis military, with all the benefits that entails, but acting lawless and going rouge when given orders.

In the new continuity the Freedom Fighters are a private organization, if they break the law, they're not representing a government.
Sort of how a private investigator can get evidence dirty, but if police break the code they're corrupt.

Then I suppose military incompetence falls to the reality that the Freedom Fighters had no standing orders for when shit goes horribly wrong and the higher chain of command cannot be consulted. Which is every time something goes wrong, because New Mobotropolis is front-line territory.

Or, you know, Sally was kind of expected to make shit up on the fly, and concept that she was always supposed to magically come to the same desired conclusions of her people without forewarning or discussion is ridiculous.
