The characters. It's a common mistake to draw them like cardboard cutouts, all you need to do is study basic depth and shading to make them "pop out" more, know what I mean?

I'd post the DrawLoverLaLa references, but I don't have them on my phone.
>>
>>155131101
Well, I've been doing perspective studies, though of course once you start inking you lose that 3D aspect I feel. Shading is something I need to work on but I'd rather get the fundamentals and form down before moving on to that. Someone suggested drop shadows as basic thing, I could add that but I'd rather not work on an image forever. You do have to say something's done otherwise you'll do it forever.

>>
>>155137481
I'm not denying that, I'm just saying it's easy to figure out why people are so quick to report. The fact that the janitor is so willing to delete everything reported (no doubt caused by the fact that as a Sonic general he assumes the worst) makes reporting a much easier thing to do here.

Why don't they just cut the act and flat out make that intentional. Play it up for laughs or something? Maybe the others follow her only because they're her friends but secretly know she's just an awful leader?
>>
>>155140591
Or alternitavely make it a character development thing. She either has to acknowledge the fact that she's incompetent and give the leadership reigns to say, Nicole or Rotor, or force herself to learn how to be a competent leader

Because if she was right every time and made all the right decisions, people would scream omg, what a Mary Sue. She's just young girl with a lot responsibility doing the best she can.

>>155140882
>She's just young girl with a lot responsibility doing the best she can.
Sadly her best isn't enough. I kind of wonder if Eggman just lets her win sometimes, you know, get her morale up, and then crush her dreams and plans horribly. In fact that's kind of what he did, isn't it?
>>
>>155140591
>>155140872
Character traits that are played for laughs don't work narratively in the long run. People will end up getting MORE frustrated that she never succeeds than they already are.
>>
>>155141231
Well you could just go with the alternative and make it part of her character arc by either having her overcome it, or do something interesting and have her admit she's a shit leader and step down. Perhaps either disbanding the group or handing over leadership to someone else
>>
>>155134006
You have worst taste than >>155132253
>>
>>155140591
>Maybe the others follow her only because they're her friends but secretly know she's just an awful leader?
Sonic and crew aren't the kind of friends that would do that to her. They'd let her know she wasn't doing well and either encourage her to improve or find something else that she is good at.
>>
>>155140591
Not this shit again
>>
>>155135873
What was it?
>>
>>155141373
You do have a point. Perhaps after figuring out she doesn't really have a place on the team anyways, she'd just go back to Mobotropolis and become a normal princess, since she is really damn good at diplomacy, just not anything else.
>>
>>155140882
Of course her plans shouldn't work out all the time. There wouldn't be any tension if they did. However, her plans almost never work out, and she almost never comes up with a improvised or backup plan to make up for it. Instead, the other characters' competency just fills in for her incompetency. She also doesn't act much like a strong leader. She always seems unsure of herself or guilty for failing. This would make sense if the reboot had started from the very beginning of the series, but it's been many, many adventures for Sally to hone her leadership skills.
>>

>>155137193
I don't like Scourge because despite people saying he's a "Parody" he is played extremely straight and it doesn't act or even look like a parody at all especially since the comic treats him as an actual threat.

I'm glad he's gone desu. I've never liked evil/anti characters that much to begin and even less so when they're never given proper comeuppance.

>>155141310
>>155141541
I personally don't think permanently relocating or killing a character counts as "fixing" them, but it may be best to set Sally on the sidelines and let the rest of the Freedom Fighters handle things themselves for a while, just to build up some individuality between the members. Maybe she got injured and needs to recuperate?

Some have worked out, like in Spark of Life, the Chase, getting the Chaos emerald out of the mines, whatever she was doing at the beginning of the reboot, I've forgotten a lot. The splitting of the planet and the dark gaia crisis is likely the biggest threat they've ever dealt with. It makes sense she would make mistakes.
>>
>>155141982
I dunno, I think this could be a good way to improve her character. Although injuring her is a good idea. Have a mission go wrong, have her break a leg or something and have her restrained to a wheelchair for a bit. That'd be a good time for self reflection and a realization that she's just not cut out for this whole military leader thing
>>
>>155142136
She's cut out for it, she just needs to be better at her job and focus on the group rather than her own problems. Sally isn't the type of gal that quits.
>>
>>155142332
She isn't the kind of girl who quits but she is the kind to realize when things just aren't working and her own limits. That's why she's step down from leading the FFs to focus on being a regular princess and her diplomacy, which she IS good at
>>
>>155141835
Scourge is a parody in that he's an ocdonutsteel and he knows it, which he's desperately trying to change. Why do you think he had everyone take on unique names and started calling anti-Mobius Moebius? That's what all his big talk when he went super was about. He wants to prove that Sonic is the lesser hedgehog in an effort to affirm that he's not just a copy. Despite all his big talk, though, he's a massive coward at heart, which is why he backs down the moment Jules showed physical resistance, or when he was depowered in prison and was simply trying to shrink away and hide from everyone else.

>>155142510
Are you sure you're actually trying to find a way to improve Sally and not just push her to the sidelines because you don't want her to be a main character?
>>
>>155140437
I am. I don't hate her, but I don't like either. I do like her in post-reboot, however.
>>
>>155142617
I'm sure I'm trying to improve her. It'd be an interesting new direction for the character and force one of the other FFs to lead the group and it could be a fun change of pace
>>
>>155142785
That can be done without her permanately leaving, you know.
>>
>>155142617
Yes he does, It's no secret there is one very anti-sally guy here that takes every opportunity to say what shit character she is and should be off the FFs.
>>
>>155142785
But your way to improve her is basically to quickly give her a final character arc then push her to the sidelines forever. That feels like less of an long-term improvement and more of a quick cut out.
>>
>>155142876
Right, but it'd be more effective if she did. I did offer the alternative of her stepping down as leader, but she can still be on the FFs as say, backup>>155143043
You could still have her fund the FFs and occasionally provide diplomacy on their behalf, but she wouldn't be planning missions or going out into the field or on the Sky Patrol anymore

Sally would be best if she was just written like she was in the early comics. Leader of the Freedom Fighters, snarky but in the friendly sense, competent but not to Mary Sue levels, banters with Sonic but it's still clear he doesn't really take orders from her, ability to indicate when someone is far downwards inside of fermented milk products.
>>
>>155143340

SOMEONE HAD A BAD HAIR DAY
>>
>>155143142
But you're just turning her into a side character that would show up even less often than Mighty and Ray, who barely does anything we can see is actually effective. No one really sees King Acorn as a prominent force behind the FF despite us being told he's their primary source of money.

Anything that doesn't feel natural in transition is just dumb storytelling. You're also trying to change a character that the majority are already fine with.

You sound more and more like an armchair quarterback calling into a radio show say, "they should just get rid of all the coaching staff and hire new ones that will win all the time immediately and don't need time to have a proper transition or time to build things up."
>>
>>155143541
>but isn't that what people want
It sounds more like that's what you want and you're projecting it onto everyone else. People want her to be believably competent without being a Mary-Sue, not thrown off to the sidelines.
>>
>>155143541
That might happen temporarily after Unleashed, now that her dad's a recovering pancake.

Lately she's been on the upswing though with initiative and perseverance. It's not like she doesn't have any victories at all to work off of. Saying she should just quit and go away to improve her character makes no sense.

>She would be much less important, but isn't that what people want.
The same people who want her to be retarded, or who want Nicole to just be a flip-phone?
>>
>>155143541
>Why retread old ground when you can take her in a new direction?
Because that old ground hasn't been present in over 20 years, and with the other changes in the comic since then (more game characters, Eggman is a serious threat instead of a comedic buffoon, etc.) then her interactions with everyone else would be relatively new.

And besides, it's a Sonic comic. While I'm not going to say plot and character development aren't needed, you don't need to have years-long character arcs in order to have an interesting story.
>>
>>155143818
She can be competent, just not as a leader, but as a princess and diplomat, which is what she's always been good at
>>155143816

She's been a leader for over 20 years and has become really boring. At least this would spice things up a bit for her>>155143827
Actually Unleashed would be the perfect way to Kickstart this arc. The kingdom needs a leader, she realizes she's not a good strategist, so she tries it for a bit until he recovers. Then back to business as usual but she remembers that experience and how good she was at it

>Not saying to immediately cut her. Have a series of missions go horribly wrong, have her get injured, and over the course of a few issues, build up to her decision to step down
Why? That's a dumb idea, especially for a character that's been there nearly consistently for near 25 years.

>She's been a leader for over 20 years and has become really boring
To who? Just you? As that's what it seems to be.

>The kingdom needs a leader, she realizes she's not a good strategist
Considering that she has been before as a great strategist, that's just factually wrong.

Just read another comic if it bothers you so much that there's a character you don't like being predominant.
>>
>>155144143
>She's been a leader for over 20 years
Really she was only "leader" for the first 5 years or so. Once Max came back he was the designated leader figure and Sonic was the defacto field leader with Sally getting involved with royal family drama for a fucking decade. Even when Ian unfucked the situation, she was still back home dealing with the council more often than she was actually leading the Freedom Fighters. Then she got roboticized.

The reboot is the first time she's actually been the bonafide leader in 20 years and it's being squandered with her having a bland non-character.
>>
>>155144675
>and it's being squandered with her having a bland non-character.
Which is why I'm suggesting this new direction. Instead of continuing to squander her, put her on a new track
>>155144671
>Just read another comic if it bothers you so much that there's a character you don't like being predominant.
I'm mostly indifferent to Sally, but I can recognize that she's a weak link in the comic right now and I'm trying to fix her
>>155144671
>Why? That's a dumb idea, especially for a character that's been there nearly consistently for near 25 years.
So that something interesting can happen to her and take the comic in a new direction and a new status quo.
>>155144671
>Considering that she has been before as a great strategist, that's just factually wrong.
You mean pre-reboot? She's not a good one in the reboot, and since this is a fresh start, you can do things with her now that you couldn't do before

>>155145108

>>
>>155145202
Those diplomacy character traits you are wanting to accentuate are already on a different character in the comic. So it'd be useless to just make another version of that character and slap it on a Sally name.

Even though she hasn't appeared yet in the comic, Ian has said that this would be Elise's character traits he'd use as part of the United Federation
>>
>>155145515
>Those diplomacy character traits you are wanting to accentuate are already on a different character in the comic. So it'd be useless to just make another version of that character and slap it on a Sally name.
You can have more than one diplomat you know, with varying degrees of relevance to the overall comic. Sally would be a fairly important side character, just not a main character, plus she'd have a different personality and backstory than Elise
>>
>>155145845
>You can have more than one diplomat you know
Just like you can have more than 1 type of leader. As in, Sally is just fine as is.
>>
>>155146085
>Just like you can have more than 1 type of leader. As in, Sally is just fine as is.
Yes you can, and Sally doesn't have to be a leader of the FFs or a field leader. She can be a diplomatic leader or the leader of a nation rather than an army

>>155146450
that's opinion, not fact. Not everyone feels the same that you do.
>>
>>155146168
Sally has been the lynchpin of the FFs since childhood, regardless of the universe. They are her friends, family and court. No matter how bad of a leader you think she is, she most definitely would not be more motivated or qualified to be a royal chair-warmer.

Nobody has really had a great opportunity to shine as an individual since the reboot, but tossing any character aside against their legacies will just be insulting.

Another option has already been presented, which is to return her to the early 90s characterization. While that would be a bit of a retread, it'd be preferable both to what we have now and your laughable excuse of a "solution."

Maybe it's because I grew up watching ReBoot, but I have no idea why people struggle when it comes to having a strong female leader character presented as the equal of the male hero protagonist without being overbearing or overshadowing. It's not as difficult as people make it out to be.

The problem I find is that in SatAM she *is* overbearing and overshadowing, essentially becoming the gurl powah stereotype in the second season where Sonic is made to be as dumb as a pile of bricks and Sally is always right, even when she's wrong.

Personally I just don't care about Sally.

Why is Comics Eggman such a psycho? Seriously, we have Archie Eggman who was going to use the mass roboticizer to blow up everyone's , including his own troops, tech and enslave whoever survived, and Sonic the Comic Eggman gleefully tries to kill everyone on several occasions. Even SatAM Robotnik wasn't that crazy.

It was touched on in an interview:

Julian and Snively were part of a space expedition from about 2200. Julian attempted to take over the colony, but his technology got out of control, and he wound up destroying everything, narrowly escaping with his (and Snively's) lives.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, a nuclear holocaust had destroyed human life, and the animals who survived mutated into sentient beings and built the society which you see in the form of Mobius. Einstein's ideas of the passage of time during faster-than-light space travel kick in and thousands of years have passed by the time Julian and Snively returned to find this "Animal" world. Julian thought that in the land of the four-pawed critters, the two-handed man is king, and so he set about to take over.
>>
>>155165175
Yeah but it was really dumb and it's not even canon anymore
>>
>>155164660
I kinda think that StC Eggman was the darkest of them all by the end.
He sorta did an Issue 200 thing where his constant defeats led to a mental breakdown, but instead of going "fun bonkers" he went "black depression" and from then on his schemes were basically murder-suicide ones to take the entire world out with him.
As I was like a 10 year old kid at the time it was kinda uncomfortable to read; your favourite childhood villain dropping his entertaining world conquest schemes to instead pursue a death wish.

Because westerners generally prefer a more serious main villain instead of a bumbling comedic buffoon. There's still room for comedy, but as the bumbling henchmen or one-off bad guys with the main villain still being serious.

>>
>>155169043
>Yuji Naka: To tell the truth, his name has not changed. Robotnik is his real name and Eggman is a common name taken after his shape. Possibly, it may have been Sonic, who uttered this alias for the first time! I feel, though, Sonic uses this name affectionately, rather than trying to make fun of him.
So when Sonic called him Eggman, he wasn't really trying to insult him? I guess that explains it, maybe.

What kind of personality should reboot Nicole have? I think she should lean more towards a monotone and blunt straight man who has no tact because she's a computer. She doesn't really understand emotions or social cues or any of that stuff. She's mostly used for hacking terminals, exposition, that kind of thing. We rarely if ever see her lynx form

>>155172143
Nah, she's too emotional to go for what I want. They want me to believe she has no grasp on emotion but it seems pretty obvious she has a grip on sarcasm and emotions, so what's the point? If you're gonna make her have trouble with it, ACTUALLY MAKE HER HAVE TROUBLE WITH IT. Make her a lot less emotional, and even questionable as to why Sally would consider her as much a person as herself
>>155172254
>Right now Sally and Nicole have way too much overlap in character.
This. Make Nicole the robotic voice of reason to Sally's blithering anxiety and incompetence. She can still be a leader, but she needs someone to help her get her shit in order

Just wanted to add that eventually she'd develop emotions and stuff, but unlike before, we get to see it unfold in real time. So we get to see the first time she's genuinely happy, or sad, her first laughter, her first tears, her first joke. We get to see it happen so it feels genuine rather than developing it off panel

Booru has been updated, will tag later/eventually.

Fireden seems kinda fucked, in addition to anons noticing deleted posts not archiving consistently, multiple times threads just stopped archiving early and one thread failed to archive at all. I had to use another archive to see the rest of the thread and that site doesn't save pics from /vg/. 99% were able to be saved from fireden or one of our drawfag's tumblrs/imgur/whatever.

I am missing one pic, though, and that is a Blaze and Silver "Back to the Future" pic, so if anyone has that saved, please post it or upload it to the booru.

As always, if you go through the booru and don't see a pic you made for /sthg/, feel free to upload it.

I'm fine with Sonic just being "a guy who loves adventure", but I can see how some backstories like Knuckles or Silver would be beneficial. Maybe we could actually see Blaze's kingdom instead of some shitty little islands. Or we could find out what happened to Tails' parents.

See>>155180404

In fact, Shadow having a massive backstory and complex motivations makes him an even better contrast to Sonic because while Shadow has a laundry list of reasons as to why he does what he does, Sonic just "is". He is who he is and that's good enough

I wonder a lot, yes.
Do I want it actually developed in game canon? No.
Two reasons:

One, I don't think a Sonic-y, adventure-y type game should be full of long, meandering exposition on the past. I want to play muh vidya, not wallow in years-old exposition. Even in Chronicles with loads and loads of text they kept the dialogue in the here-and-now, and that's the right way.

Two, I don't trust them to not fuck it up and rustle everyone.

Whenever you upload to the booru, it adds tagme no matter what. Thus, it's been a problem since the start.

Now, whenever I tag after these large uploads, I try to do it as quick as possible and it is slower to remove it most of the time.

If there is a way to mass edit all of them to remove it, then that'd be cool, but I'm unaware of one and I really don't feel like going through 1800 pics to remove it.

Hey booru-anon, or anyone else familiar with boorus - quick question:

I was trying to set up Hydrus to pull images and tags as a sort of backup. Haven't put a whole lot of time into it yet, but it seems that for some reason it can't parse tags. (Works fine for other *.booru.org sites)

I took a look at The Ride vs some other boorus and the tag sidebar looks different when examining the element. I don't see any tag namespace that most other boorus (even from booru.org) seem to have.

Any idea if our booru is running an older/different version? Maybe namespaces were never set up?

>Comics don't count btw

>>
>>155187302
I wouldn't know, anon. I just upload and tag. Looking at other boorus, I find it odd that our taglist and search is on the right side while all the other boorus I've seen have it on the left. That said, most are running the same version of Gelbooru as our booru does (Beta 0.1.11)

I dunno if the admin is even still around, but he/she might know more, but I have no idea how to reach them.
>>
>>155187926

Well thanks for the uploading/tagging, that's a great service. I've been lax updating the comic archive again, since the Mega link is 2-3 months behind right now. Good reminder for me to get that squared away.

As to the booru difference, there are one or two people I'm aware of that might know/be the admin. Guess we'll see what happens.

>>155193075
I'd recommend it, they're a nice little bunch of British goodness, without the drama and horrific writing that hit Archie back in the 90's.

I mean some adaptations were off a bit, but only because Britain got the game story told to them in a kind of "So there's this water demon and Tikal, and they were ancient, right, so you get the gist right?"

Also Fleetway Robotnik starts off goofy, and then slowly turns more menacing and then suddenly you have the insanity that's more than even Ian pulled off.

Also sometimes Mighty will say BLOOMIN and that's always hilarious to read.

It was more because they had already touched upon the history of the Echidna and needed to fit Adventure into what they'd already written.

The manga is really good, I like it because the author actually fleshes out every character. like nobody is a background character, they're all really well written and it's hard to dislike any of them because the writing is so charming.

even if you don't read it, you've got some fantastic arcs to look forward to in the anime. All Might versus Noumu is the tip of the iceberg in terms of fight hype levels.

>>155200921
Pretty sure later on Robotnik's body got destroyed and his brain was uploaded to a computer, then he made a robot body. Or maybe his physical body got fried and he could barely use it anymore so he made the switch. Can't remember it as well I should.

And Sonic got blamed for something and was exiled so now he saves people in secret because he doesn't want to be arrested.

This was definitely pre-Online, by the way. If I wanted to shit on Online's plot points I could do that easily.
>>
>>155201106
Nope, those are both Online things.
>>
>>155201106
Neither of those things happened in the Fleetway comic. I know the second one happened in Online.

The only times I can remember the Fleetway comic doing something like that, other than when Robotnik ruled everything, was when Super Sonic seemingly destroyed all of Sonic's friends (he didn't) and so Sonic tried to stay hidden to avoid anyone else being hurt, but that was resolved literally the next issue, which turned Super Sonic into a separate independent entity.

Eggman tries on two separate occasions to level an entire metropolis and kill millions of people just to build a fucking theme park, and it's only because the second option (a fucking nuke) was a dud that it didn't work.

>cherrypicking the animal friends specifically and not referring to the other points I made
Like what? That his animal friends include a pig and rabbit? He already has two rabbits as friends, a pig is no stranger than any of his other friends, not to mention both were based on the animal friends in the classic era games. One of his friends happens to die? There are dead characters in the games too. Tikal living with Knuckles and Robotnik being a robot? Neither of those happened so you're complaining about nothing.

Why didn't you respond to that? Couldn't come up with anything as a rebuttal?

Regardless, you didn't bring up anything that is "common to the entire franchise, including the games" besides Sonic having animal friends, which is a broad generalization of what I said. Everything else was "YEAH BUT IT WAS IN THIS ONE GAME SO IT COUNTS NYEH NYEH"
Tell me, in which Sonic game does Sonic have an anthropomorphic pig friend that is literally a reskinned Tails?
>>
>>155180170
It always bothered me that Sonic himself never had a backstory or real motivation for heroism outside of "just cause". Every hero needs some kind of driving force. Batman had his dead parents, Superman had the morals instilled in him by the Kents, Sonic has nothing. He needs something m. I dunno, like he saw his parents die at Eggman's hands and he wants revenge, or Eggman burned his home down, or he was in an abusive situation and ran away and doesn't want others to suffer, just give us SOMETHING

Also
>anthropomorphic pig friend that is literally a reskinned Tails
If memory serves, this was before Tails was a tech genius.

>>155202974
The western game origins which StC is based on gave Sonic a driving force.
>>
>>155198423
The OVA is so damn fun and cute.
>>
>>155202903
First off, Tails wasn't a tech genius until the 21st century. Before that he was just "the kid." This is common to almost every western Sonic work. Second off, how is a pig friend any worse than a fox, echidna, crocodile, chameleon, bee, armadillo, squirrel, cat or rabbit friend?
>>
>>155203093
But that's a sign of incredibly lazy characterization. He does it "just cause". A hero, even in a franchise for kids, needs some sort of driving force, a motivation, a backstory so we can relate to them and they can be a character instead of being a bland cutout
>>
>>155203217
>until the 21st century
>SA1 was 1998
At least get your facts straight.
>>
>>155202695
By that retarded logic Eggman is edgy in Colors because he enslaves aliens and tries to use a laser to level the planet. You really want to argue that Colors Eggman is edgy?

>he already has two rabbits as friends
And they're a child and the child's mother who have only appeared in a significant role in a few games and were missing for quite a few. They're not "some cool dude who fights alongside Sonic and friends who everyone knows and loves and gets killed during a crisis and everyone's sad about it forever".
And I'm going to reiterate the fact that the pig is basically a reskin of Tails: a genius engineer. And it's especially weird since he starts out looking like a talking pig on hind legs and turns into a human with a pig head who wears jeans and a shirt.
>they're based on the animal friends in the classic games
The ones that are literally just animals that Eggman traps in robots/containers and scurry away as soon as they're freed and contribute nothing to the games on their own. And Archie's characters are based on the characters from one of the TV shows, so what? They're still shit.
>There are dead characters in the games too
The only real dead characters are ones that have been dead for years before the games actually occur.
Shadow "died" but then came right back in the next game because he never actually died.
Sonic "died" but was revived by the Chaos Emeralds. This was also in the worst game of the series.
Tell me how those equate to Johnny's death.

I get it, I was mistaken about the Robotnik and Tikal things. It's been a while and my memories of Fleetway got muddled with Online. Sorry.

>Tell me, in which Sonic game does Sonic have an anthropomorphic pig friend that is literally a reskinned Tails?
Sonic 1.
Fleetway didn't make the distinction between Mobians and Mobinii or whatever Ian's calling them these days.
It was assumed that the cute animal friends were the same class of creatures as Sonic himself, because back in 1992 nobody outside Japan (if even there) knew any better and it was perfectly plausible that the difference in sprite size was just gameplay/story segregation.
>>

I seriously have no idea what your actual argument is.

>>
>>155203824
In that game all the pigs were just freed by Sonic and run away once they're free. They don't stop to say "THANK YOU SONIC, YOU'RE MY FRIEND" to which Sonic responds "NO PROB PIG-BOY MY COMPANION WHO I RELATE TO ON A PERSONAL LEVEL AND HANG OUT WITH ON OCCASION". You can barely even make a case for Sonic knowing these animals individually. It's like Superman saving all of Metropolis.

Honestly I'm with this guy. The original characters in Archie and Fleetway are all shit and should not exist. In fact, any adaptation of Sonic should be exactly like the games, because anything original they do is always shit. Like the original plots and locations are shit too
>>
>>155203670
>Tell me how those equate to Johnny's death.
Johnny stayed dead. That has a tad more impact than, y'know, not staying dead.
Plus, he was one of the main characters.
>>
>>155204123
Yeah, and the comics made up a shitty story with shitty characters. Now you're getting it!

Besides, if they really wanted Pigboy to be a significant character in Sonic 1 they could easily have done so. It's not like the Genesis was the Atari where all of the story had to be told through blocks.
Actually, scratch that. The Atari could still display text on the screen that could give characters backstory. So basically Sonic 1 had no excuse if they really wanted to make the animal friends significant in any way.

You practically made the case as to why they're completely different. Nice job.
Here's my follow up question: why did Johnny stay dead if he was a main character that could easily be revived? Basically it's just the same generic character death trope. No point to it, no significance other than "people liked him".

I'll just say this. Adventure 1 and 2 eggman are probably my least favorite versions of him. He doesn't have any of the pizzaz. The showmanship, and the childlike evil nature. He's as generic as possible. He's just evil and smart. He doesn't really get the semblance of a personality back until Heroes.

I may have imagined this because I can't for the life of me work out where I would have heard it *from*, but I think the logic was that by issue #185 there wouldn't be many readers who had collected it religiously since issue #1, so they could reprint stories and it would still be new to *most* of the audience.
>>
>>155204497
Fleetway reprinted stories in an attempt to gain more young readers. Shortly after, the sales completely fell, because nobody wanted to buy the exact same stories they already had but with a brand-new cover.

>>155204610
>Tails didn't actually become tech genius until 98
>Fleetway started in 93
Tails was still just "Player 2".
>>
>>155204497
Because they were still making money and reprinting meant they didn't need to spend money on new stories. Fleetway's general policy was that there would be enough reader turnover after 5 years that there's no point making new stories. Their Sonic comic wasn't the only one that suffered from this.

>>155204739
>hooray, Super Sonic is finally gone for good!
Literally never happened. At most he was sealed away in another dimension.
>>
>>155202974
Why can't it be, Sonic saw eggman put his buddies into robots and said "Hey, stop putting my friends into robots"
Stop trying to be edgy and have it be revenge fueled or involve death. Because that's missing the point quite a bit and would Certainly change Sonic and Eggman's dynamic.
ie. It would make sonic's lax attitude to Eggman's plans in Heroes or Colors seem a lot more cruel and heartless if we're assuming Eggman's don horrible atrocities to him personally.
Sonic the Hedgehog is simply not that sort of narrative.

By the time Tails was a genius in the western canon the comic was a year from being cancelled.

Doesn't matter if nobody speaks Japanese and Sega doesn't tell them that Tails is supposed to be a genius.

The original western origins for Sonic and Robotnik aren't edgy.

Not to intrude, but Tails was never a genius in the American/European manuals. That's why he never invented anything in international media. That's also why the Chaotix acted so hip and generic in their introduction to the Archie comics.

>"Nobody dies" is perfect for a lighthearted comic that adapts the games. But nope, gotta make shitty original story and shitty original characters and then kill one off in the most boring way possible.
Exactly. Why can't the comics just be adaptations of the games. I doubt any Sonic fan who's only played the games wants these shitty original characters and shitty original stories. They want something familiar like the characters, locations, and plots from the games. Sega needs to pull the license and just make them in house already

Well that's a problem, because that's what we should've fucking gotten to begin with, and with the Archie reboot, Sega should've put their foot down and DEMAND they be exactly in line with the games.
>>
>>155205279
I wouldn't have complained about the first one because that's absolutely fine for a lighthearted comic that adapts the games. Cheating death would actually make for a better story than Johnny's boring permadeath.
A generic character death that occurs for no reason is always bad.

Because they're fucking garbage fanfics that only exist because Sega doesn't give enough of a shit to have them be like the games.

Why can every other video game cartoon and comic understand that they need to be like the games, but not Sonic?

Since the reboot Sega has been putting their foot down as much as they reasonably should, which is to say only to preserve the integrity of their existing game characters (and even then there's been a decent amount of leeway). Sega does not pay Archie advertising money, therefore the comics should never be straight game adaptations. Archie pays Sega to license their characters for the purpose of telling original stories.

Just because they're not identical to the games doesn't mean they're not advertisements for them.

>>155206097

Pick just about any video game cartoon from the 80s or 90s that isn't Sonic. Go ahead. Most, if not all of them are a lot like the games

I dunno man. After whatever it was, 150 issues of schmaltzy generic comic stuff, I seem to recall it was kinda nice to be thrown a curveball like that.

Your argument SOUNDS like the absurd ravings of a troll, but I'll akratic and give you the benefit of the doubt.
Because I sort of agree with you that the splurging on Original Characters is unnecessary.
But if you kept the comics as EXACT blow-by-blow retellings of the games, you'd never get things like the Grand Battle Kukku fighting Wendy Witchkart's co-opted badniks in Eggmanland.
And I find it even more difficult to believe that anyone wouldn't want that.

You're conflating two separate things.

Sega got pissed off at Sonic crying and told Ian to run a less bonkers ship than Bollers/Penders, which is exactly he did from like issue 170.

The Pendering was a totally separate event and in no way initiated from Sega's end.

>>155207401
You're being completely retarded. All Sega cares about is making sure the relevant game characters act more-or-less like they do in the games, sometimes. Yes, that includes changing a scene so Sonic doesn't cry as much. But beyond that they don't give two shits about what original characters and storylines are in the comic as long as Archie pays their licensing fee.

How could you possibly have inferred that?
Sega put their foot down ONCE, in more than two decades, and that was in response to the crying Sonic cover.
The Pendering was Archie cleaning house, on its own, in response to Ken - not Sega - sperging out.
>>
>>155207592
I'm saying that it is very possible for them to easily do away with Archie's nonsense and make the comic in their own image. You all insisted that Sega doesn't control the comic at all and can't do that.

>>155207687
Both of those statements are wrong.
Sega made sure that Sonic basically didn't cry much at all anymore, and that included forcing scenes to be completely altered. See here: >>155207034
And the Pendering was Sega FORCING Archie to remake the comic because they didn't want more self-important ex-writers suing them.

Sega controls how their game characters are portrayed in the comics. That's it. If Sega wanted to control the entirety of how the comics is written then they'd need to pay the costs for the writers and possibly even make it in-house themselves.

Best ship for Shadow is his own internal brooding, and maybe swiss rolls.

Shadow and Rouge are the best friendship for each other though.

You are literally retarded.
Penders sued Sega exclusively because of Sonic Chronicles. Then Sega took action and removed Penders characters from the Archie comics so they wouldn't have to deal with him anymore.
Once again, you are retarded, and you know nothing about what you're talking about.

Okay dipshit, here's what really happened:

- Penders sued both Sega and Bioware, not Sega exclusively. This case was tossed out of court because Penders couldn't prove he owned the characters, and eventually it passed the statute of limitations.
- Penders filed copyrights on "his" characters from the comics.
- Archie sued Penders to nullify those claims, but couldn't produce his original contract to prove he was on a for-hire contract.
- Case was settled; exact terms unknown because the settlement was sealed.
- Archie and Archie alone made the decision to reboot the comic in order to remove all pre-Ian material, both to get rid of Penders' characters as well as all other early characters to avoid potential future legal issues.
- Sega had nothing to do with anything beyond getting Penders' lawsuit against them tossed out.

If all Sega wanted to do was get rid of Penders' characters then they would've told Archie to do it back when Penders sued them in the first place, not years later.

Inform yourself about facts before exposing yourself as a brainless twit.

Basic logic would tell you that after Sega had to lawyer up after a frivolous lawsuit over alleged infringement of characters, it would force a removal of all characters associated with the person that sued from all media in order to avoid another frivolous lawsuit. Especially since Archie fucked up by not producing the contract.

You still have literally no proof, which means your claims are inaccurate until you can prove otherwise. The burden is on you.

>There, instantly recognizable by any fan
If someone has already played Secret Rings for instance and see a direct copy of the beginning into comic form, they are likely to ignore it making it impossible to recognize if they do. Those that haven't played it won't recognize anything either.

That doesn't say anything about Archie comics and Archie alone being responsible for the reboot. It just says it happened.

Sol Badguy vs. Sonic

Who wins?
>>
>>155215785
Here's a way.

"I'm not a fan of the comic. I don't think it should be done the way it is currently and would be in favor of changes, but I understand others may not feel the same as I do."
Concise and simple to not seem like a shitpost. Instead of, "It's shit, everything I don't like should be erased entirely and people should have to deal with it to suit my tastes."

Do you have to do it this way? No, you don't have to do a God Damn thing. Just don't be surprised or upset if people call you out or accuse you of things, that's just how the World works.

The only thing I've said that is remotely close to that is that I don't like most of the comic's original plot and original characters and would be in favor of direct game adaptations.

Okay here's a very brief summary.
He's a scientist who decided that it'd be cool to infuse himself with the very essence of magic and now he wears a total of 1134 inhibitors to prevent him from going full power form and destroying the entire solar system and possibly even the universe.

He has destroyed several gods and god slaying weapons but is otherwise extremely lazy and doesn't use his powers unless absolutely necessary.

Archie was responsible for the reboot because it's their comic that they produce, period. They'd have to ask for permission from Sega to use legally disputed characters because Sega is the one issuing the license for the comic and might not like it if Mr. Lawsuit Penders came knocking again.

The last shit I fling about this, is that if anybody truly believes making the comics into direct cyclical rehashes of the games will drive people away from their game controllers and start reading comics, then they are wrong. I'm done.

The point of the comics should be to advertise the games as they come out, not to make monthly rehashes. Only make comics around the time new games come out, to advertise them. That's how it should be

How am I wording things "the wrong way"? I have explained my points very clearly and I am not the one who has resorted to replying with "this character should be wiped from existence" or "fuck off comicfag" to anyone remotely referencing the comic.

I like Sally, but I'd love to see Clove just casually upstage her with some superior mission strategy.

And then the epic bantz between Cassia and the FFs as they cure her of her illness, remove Clove's freeze switch and all kick ass together would just make it perfect.
>>
>>155218620
Sega still has joint ownership and co-publishes it. That means that the comic isn't exclusively owned by Archie as you claim
>>
>>155218775
They have their name as co-publisher because they hold rights to the IP and are giving the license. Writing, drawing, etc. are all done by Archie and staff hired by Archie and all comics are printed by Archie.
>>
>>155218657
I'd assume there might be banter, but from then on they'd be a supporting role, not on the front lines. Especially since they don't have an army of badniks supporting them anymore.

I want this just for Sally getting pissed and constantly trying to find ways to upstage Clove, who's pretty much her superior and Sally just gets more and more desperate until she kicks Clove off the team in a fit of jealous rage
>>
I want Clove to stay a villain and just be better at Sally in strategy
>>
>>155219354
How the hell is Clove superior to the leader of the Freedom Fighters? That's like saying Rotor is superior to Eggman.
>>
>>155219190
They own nothing but the characters used and the comics with them in it by extension.
Please pay attention to what I'm talking about instead of throwing a fit about something I didn't even bring up, asshole.
The decision to reboot was Archie's. Period. They had full control over how they got rid of the things that might get them into legal trouble later, the only hand Sega played in it was telling them to fix the problem and if it ever happened again they would pull the license.
>>
>>155219354
>I want dark ages Sally back
>>
>>155219452
This works too. Also still keep the desperation element as Sally gets shit on every time she tries to outmaneuver Clove and gets more and more desperate to prove she's a good strategist
>>155219494
She'd be better as a strategist. It's clear she has a good head on her shoulders at the very least
>>155219539
It'd be played more for laughs than anything. Besides, it'd be more fun than the Sally we have now, and really expose the fact that Sally has 0 self confidence
>>
>>155219509
>the only hand Sega played in it was telling them to fix the problem
That would make Sega responsible for the reboot, the thing you've been arguing against for the past hour.
>>
>>155219054
I don't see why they couldn't be combatants. Unless they got their cybernetics removed, they would still have strengths more or less comparable to Bunnie. Rotor, Tails, even Nicole could help provide the upgrades.

And I mean, Clove's got a schythe, bruh.

>>155219494
She served Sally like a tennis Ball in Hidden Costs.

>The "Sally needs to leave/become a joke character" guy has now entered the fray

God help us, shot posting levels have been raised to twelve. TWELVE.

She wouldn't be a joke character, she'd still be the same character overall, just really frustrated that she's being upstaged on HER OWN TEAM
>>
>>155219675
>>155219612
Being better than the President at checkers doesn't make you the President.
Having a better strategy than the leader of the Freedom Fighters doesn't make you the leader of the Freedom Fighters. If it was about who's better than who, Sonic would be the leader because he carries the team.
>>
>>155219704
I don't hate Sally I just think her and Clover having some kind of rivalry would be cool
>>
>>155219642
No, that would make Sega responsible for the lack of non-Ian, non-game characters. Archie is entirely responsible for choosing to reboot the comic. Period. Got anything else to say about it? Then shove it and spin because I don't care about your mental gymnastics. The engine of the car provides the driving force but it does not steer the car.

I'm not saying for Clove to be the leader. In fact it'd be funnier if Clove was on equal terms with everyone else and the strategy she randomly suggested at FF meetings (And likely came up with on the spot) just happened to be better than Sally's (Who literally pulled an all nighter that night coming up with her plan)

Not even that. Archie was perfectly capable of settling with the authors of all the characters for their use. They just didn't, because that would be absurdly costly to them, probably, and set a precedent that Archie didn't completely own those characters in the first place.

Why the fuck are you using Wikipedia as a source?

Here, look at the legal info at the bottom of this page. This is from the most recent main comic. Notice how it says "Published monthly by Archie Comic Publications, Inc." Notice how it says "This product is manufactured under license from Sega of America, Inc." Notice how the only thing Sega is stated as owning under the official legal info is just the copyrights and trademarks to Sonic itself. The comic is published by Archie, under license from Sega. Sega does not own the comic itself.
>>
>>155220171
>They just didn't, because that would be absurdly costly to them, probably, and set a precedent that Archie didn't completely own those characters in the first place
Of course. Welcome to Archie. I'm only taking into account likely solutions and that involves them just getting rid of things that could cause issues.
>>
>>155219902
You're the only one doing mental gymnastics here friend.
>Sega was responsible for removing the Penders characters...
(which is part of what I was trying to argue, by the way)
>...but it doesn't count because Ian was the one who had to write them out of the comic because he's the writer
Being responsible for removing the characters means that you're responsible for the reboot. Period.
Or do you think that it was possible for those characters to just magically disappear in the story that was currently running?
>>
>>155220268
>now the English teacher is throwing a bitchfit about Wikipedia
Yeah, no. Here's your one and only (You).
>>
>>155220163
Basically make Clove the Gary fucking Oak to Sally's Ash AKA Clove is just 3 steps ahead of Sally every single time, but unlike Gary, she's not even doing it on purpose and that's the part that pisses off Sally the most because Clove is just casually upstaging her at everything and damaging her already fragile self esteem
>>
What the hell are you idiots even arguing about at this point?
>>
>>155220282
>Being responsible for removing the characters means that you're responsible for the reboot. Period.
Nah. There were many options open to them. What was chosen simply showed the intelligence of the editor and writer, which again are part of Archie staff.
I'm not going to tolerate your bullshit like the other anon so you can fuck off if you don't like getting shit on for your flawed thinking.
>>
>>155220518
>there were many options
And what were those options, if you're so smart?
>>
>>155220473
I gave proof that you're wrong, so you're seriously trying to argue that unsourced text on Wikipedia is more credible than Archie's own legal information.

As you said, simply having them disappear and if Archie wasn't financially in the shitter what >>155220171 said among others.
One of the most stupid ones is just arbitrarily changing the appearance and name of the characters.
I don't know what you hope to get out of this post since it really adds nothing to the argument other than proving you wrong further.
>>
>>155220726
"Archie's" (read: Ian's) own writing is much more of a biased source than the Wikipedia article. A biased source is not a valid source.
>>
May I suggest a "peace and serenity" edition for next thread?
>>
>>155220490
I was thinking more along the lines of having Clove come to be sort of a mentor for Sally in that regard, cooperatively helping her become a better leader while Sally can help offer Clove friendly / comradely support during her own transition along with her sister's.
>>
>>155220629
Ian was already in the process of writing out Penders' characters before the reboot, hence why Thrash stuffed all the echidanas in a bag and the Mercians were replaced with a new Freedom Fighter group.
>>
>>155220885
>things that would literally make no sense in the context of the comic's story are a better option
Good to know that you're admitting that you're retarded.
>>
>>155220947
First off, Ian doesn't decide what goes into the legal information.

Second off, how the fuck would information that's legally required to be both present and accurate be more biased than an unsource claim on a Wikipedia article?
>>
>>155220986
That's actually a pretty good idea. If I was making this out to be a serious thing in the comic I'd go with that route. Though for shits and giggles let's just make Sally incredibly frustrated because it's driving her nuts

Okay now I DON'T want to cause some kinda shitstorm but I have a genuine question.

Can the comic characters really be considered bad because they're 'not in the games' when they've been around for such a long time they've outlasted and predated a LOT of the game characters and events. I mean it's the longest running video game adaption in history. It started from the cartoon that was around before nearly everyone bar the classic 6.

Surely they've earned their right to existence. I mean yeah they've never been in the games bar a cameo in spinball, but by the same logic they've never actually been in a shit game. So they're already better than say, Silver for example.

I just don't get the hate for the comics, at this point they're just as historic if not moreso than half the game casts. That deserves some recognition, no?
>>
>>155221114
So who decides what goes into the legal information?
>>
>>155221312
Probably Archie's legal team. And before you claim that means it's biased, Archie can legitimately be sued if the legal information isn't accurate, whereas some random anonymous guy on Wikipedia is under no such scrutiny.
>>
>>155220986
If this ends with Cassia transitioning into a hologrammatic form like Nicole this would be a pretty good setup.

You can offset the sadness of Cassia's failing body by having her become a fun ghost type hologram that hangs out with her sister and after all that trouble, to have her sister become literally nigh on invincible that should be the biggest relief for Clove who can then finally go apeshit on eggman with a holo angel at her back, phasing through walls and knocking out power and distracting bots so clove can wipe out eggman bases and shit.

And Nicole could be like a mentor to Cassia and teach her all about how the digital world functions, which in turn teaches the reader and explains the concepts.

I'd LOVE to see something like that.
>>
>>155221501
>If this ends with Cassia transitioning into a hologrammatic form like Nicole this would be a pretty good setup.
What the fuck. She could just have an actual cure made for her, or something less insanely fucking random.

But on the other hand your idea is batshit insane enough to work. Also she no longer plays vidya, she's IN the vidya.
>>
>>155221258
A big part of Sonic's early success - maybe not as much as fast gameplay but whatever - was that he was a broadly appealing icon across many different mediums. It was fun watching things branch out back then, and I'm glad the comics are different from the games, because I like having my expectations and imagination challenged month to month. I like not always getting what I expect in that regard.

>>155221501
A holo-hacker Cassia, eh? I like the cut of your jib. I think our ideas could work together, anon.
>>
>>155221720
There is no cure for what Cassia has anon. The only cure is SUFFERING. So this way they get their dramatic death angst wringing. Clove gets to go apeshit because her sis is a ded. But then they get the comic book happy ending of Nicole isn't ded she's just in the handheld. I mean uh, Cassia.

Plus t makes Cassia literally invincible without being OP. And she can be a pain in the ass and sass people shooting at her and laugh when it goes right through them, and pretend to be spooky. The literal Ghost in the Machine.

You could argue that it's only because she's so robotic now that she can transition, so we don't just start turning anyone who is dying into holos too.

Sometimes I wish Sega of America didn't alter Sonic so much. I mean, in the 90s, the entire canon was completely different between SoJ and SoA, down to the world, the characters, storyline, EVERYTHING was completely different.

The Western Sonic and the Japanese Sonic were two completely different characters when you really think about it. Same with Tails, 'Eggman and Robotnik', Knuckles, Amy, the Chaotix, Metal Sonic, and whoever else. The very core of the franchise was different. I can get making slight tweaks and alterations to make it suitable for America and Europe and wherever, but outright changing the very essence of everything?!
