I met Aaron Webber at the sonic 25th anniversary party and we talked for a bit.

Let me tell you all hes super cool, but god damn was it soul crushing. Its kind of like meeting your hero and he is everything you wanted him to be. They say don't meet your hero but I did. We talked for a bit about him being in sega and everything, and I talked about how big of an inspiration he is. A fan to community pr manager, thats the dream.

I remember too when I shook his hand and i said I hope our paths cross again and he said im sure they will. In a genuine tone, mind you. I know he was probably saying that because I'm some autist, but for months after the party that stuck with me. I flew back home and contemplated my life, I wanted to be like Aaron and be involved in Sonic as a franchise through marketing. I messaged Aaron on Facebook, he never responded but he read it, and I basically said im going to pursue my dream of working in the sonic division. That was 2 months ago.

Since then ive lost hope, i cant compete with these college kids and shit. Its pure luck, even Aaron said he was just in the right place at the right time. I know you gotta believe in yourself, but it really is a pipedream. We all want to work for sega and sonic, but none of us probably will. Everyone around me told me I couldn't do it. My girlfriend said sega was dead, my brother made me realize ive got nothing to offer, and my friends said I was being stupid. Nothing hurt more than when I met the person i admired so greatly, gave me my drive back, only to realize my dream was unachievable.


Don't go too far down the rabbit hole guys, you won't like what you find.

I do like Sonic 1 GG's map - the idea that Robotnik/Eggman hid his base way up at the top of a mountain, and that Sonic would have to climb through increasingly difficult areas to access it.

work on what you want to. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If it makes you happy, go for it.

Even if to get your foot in the door is do QA or be the fucking janitor. Just do and learn everything you can to achieve your dream. The main key being, is to build relationships and get to know the people that can and will help you achieve that dream.

Don't give up anon, I'm fucking serious. DON'T FUCKING GIVE UP!

Just so you know, I'm slapping the air right now.

Dude, if your dream is to work in the Sonic department. Just do anything and everythingto get to that point. Get away from the negative influences in your life, they're pulling you do.

Look at fucking DiGi Valentine and TRiPPY, worked with the NiGHTS community for over 10 FUCKING YEARS and only then after they were able to help FUCKING SAVE NiGHTS through fan campaigns and worked super hard, again for 10 FUCKING YEARS, did they finally get a job at Sega of Europe doing art designs, QA, and other work. It was their LITERAL DREAM in NiGHTS that they eventually achieved it through long and hard work.

If you want this bad enough, you'll fucking do it.

Dude, fakes and phonies all over the world have achieved so much with very little potential or drive. Heart and desire are what it takes to break through and claim what is yours. You need to have an 80's mentality about this. You can light the dark when they hear your heart of thunder! If they can do so much with so little, just imagine what you can do. You can do anything. Infinite potential, the wonders of humanity. If this is what you want, embrace it dammit, or I too will be slapping at air. I'll slap it hard too. Just saying.

Great, you wanna do marketing. There's a bunch of free courses everywhere, even on YouTube, or how to learn marketing. Look up your local collages and do marketing classes.

Meanwhile, look up job opportunities that are available at SEGA. See what's available and send in applications. Doesn't matter if you know the job or not, learn on the fly and bullshit yourself to get the job. If they find out that you know jack about the job, oh well, tell them that you want your foot in the door and want to do fucking anything to get it. Obviously don't be a maniac by hanging around the premises, but try to be civil with them to show them that this is your dream and you mean fucking business.

Look at fucking IAN FLYNN. Look up fucking OTHER M. Look at what he acheived because he fucking KEPT GOING.

I'm mildly annoyed by Meropis.
For all Ian's talk of wanting to stick closer to the games, Meropis just... isn't, beyond "Look here's animal people".
There's no connections to game characters or game scenarios or game locations made whatsoever. There's nothing and nobody to do with the games on either side of this arc, other than the Chaotix being brought in as ringers.
For fuck's sake, we had an entire game about piracy, Rush Adventure. Throw Whisker or Johnny into the mix ssomewher. Otherwise I'm gonna forget this is an arc in a Sonic comic, given that it presently seems to be "OCs in OC Adventures in OC Land with special guests The Chaotix"

It's not going to tarnish your name when you send it in now and then if they reject it, you work on it and send in a new one and they'll see how much you improved.

You wouldn't care about them anymore than the OCs so I don't see what's the difference.
>>
>>158542996
This. Doesn't take much effort to justify them being there either
>>158543031
The difference is that it's using what's already there instead of making up new shit for no reason. You could literally just pull from the game characters forever and nobody would notice. All you gotta do is occasionally introduce a new locale if you have to, but the games have so many different ones you can get away with that too. There's literally no excuse to have OCs at this point and the fact they're there at all tells me the writer is too inept at telling stories with the source material that he needs them in order to tell any kind of story

Oh here we go with this shit yet again.

Also, none of this matters, because the games do not have any established undersea setting(at least not one that isn't in another dimension), so in order to have aquatic adventures, the comic has to make one up. Gotta come up with new elements if you want new stories.

Not like there's a million water levels. Oh wait. You can come up with new stories while not making up anything at all. Hell, have the Chaotix end up in the Sol Dimension and have to find their way back and come across Johnny and Whiskers, who are back now

That faggot who used to sperg out all the time that the comics should be frame-by-frame retellings of the game was unbelievably obnoxious... but there has to be a happy medium between that, and "Here's Meropis, a setting I pulled entirely out of my ass which doesn't even use the game characters which are thematically appropriate for it".

I think Eclipse was Ian doing it spot on. Take the Black Arms - a loose / ded thread from the games - and combine it with Wisps and the Master Emerald in a crazy scheme that throws game characters together in unusual combinations (i.e. Shadow + Knux).

Whereas Meropis and now with added pirates seems to be just "The OCs we already had are not enough! Pour MORE OCs on it, that'll work!"
>>
>>158543353
It's what companies want bro, they want passion. And a specially designed cover for your resume is just one of those things that can do it. It's never a bad thing to at least try, companies know this.

I believe in you dude.
>>
>>158543315
>Not like there's a million water levels.
Yeah, but there's no aquatic characters in the games. The frequent complaints about OCs are ostensibly a desire to avoid redundancy, but there's nothing redundant about a group of characters filling a previously empty niche.

Worst part is that the stuff established during Unleashed will never get followed up on. Instead we'll just keep getting more and more OCs because the comic has no idea what its doing anymore

Chao Garden, different types of chao, the little shrine and the Mystic Melody are all game elements anon.

And you'd just fucking do the research and bust out an amazing marketing idea.

And I know you'd come up with something great.

There's a difference between "They have a plot reason for being here" and "They have a meta reason for being here".

NOT having Johnny and Whiskers in a pirate arc is indefensible on the meta level. They're pirates, it's what they're FOR. It'd be like having an arc about the Battle Kukkus but just involving some named mooks and not involving Speedy or Fukurukov or Battle Lord "because they were all somewhere else at the time". Might be true plot-wise, but it's still ridiculous.

There's no way to justify that and keep true to the character, which is an important element of storytelling.

Ha, wooow. Your argument is literally "I can see the future, I know this will never happen so I'm already mad."

Even though this issue already brought back and expanded upon elements thst were introduced in the past.

>>158544329
>Even though it's literally been said that this is the end of the "introduce and establish" phase.
Which is why this arc is introducing and establishing a brand NEW set of characters. Don't believe his lies, this is all arcs will be from now on. Using established characters to introduce brand new groups of generic OCs who get dumped by the end of the arc

And if SEGA says "No, they belong in Blaze's world," then what?

Have the characters go there whenever there needs to be a pirate arc, which probably won't be that often anyways

I'd take less issue with the current... issue if this were actually being followed through, but, as previously mentioned, it is apparently not enough to create a city of OCs and then revisit them for a new story
What's happened is we got a city of OCs and revisited them for a new story AND THEN got a -literal- boatload more OCs dumped on us.
Meropis was bad enough when it was "Explore game locations or characters in new interesting ways? Lol no, I OC U" Land.

Anon, Sonic characters cross dimensions as easy as going down to the shops. Your entire argument is "But Muh Sol Dimension", and it's a really shitty argument because Sonic and Tails crossed over in the games accidentally by just flying through a sea storm.

From what I remember of the guy he was into his science fiction a lot and wanted to portray that in the games, so no humans, the oceans and landscaped being portrayed in a universe without them, and the dangers they faced.

Hold up.

How did Rouge know where Udina was? Does she make a point of knowing everything about everyone of even minor note? Did she know the princess had joined the pirate crew? How? And for that matter, how did Echo know to go to Rouge for this information even though she doesn't seem to know shit about the surface world? And yet she knew how to find Rouge, and knew to bring high price jewelry as payment?

I have questions.

Bullshit. The FF didn't know shit about Udina. If they did, they would happily tell the Queen out of good will towards their new allies.

The only way this makes any sense is if Rouge really IS creeping on everyone, and keeping the dirt on them for herself until someone comes along to buy it off her, which she "subtly" advertises in the right places so that everyone, even out-of-towners know to go to her for the hot scoop.

Ouch, the feels. If it's such a big deal for you, I can only encourage you to improve and get better at what you want to work as, and slowly get involved in anything that relates to what you want to achieve. Look at the different fan sites and how they're closer to Sega, try to get closer to Sega any way you can.

Also, really think if this is what you want to do for a living and not something that got in your head because of Sonic and Aaron.

Things may take a lot of time and effort but you'll be surprised at what can be accomplished with enough dedication. Good luck anon, don't give up.

Cause the whole point of Mania is paying tribute to and continuing the classic games, and Amy wasn't playable in any of those outside of spinoffs. Plus the general gaming public is still stuck in the "Sonic's shitty friends" mentality, and any more playable characters outside of the classic trio is likely to evoke cynicism and venom from them.

Maybe if CW/HC/PWG makes another 2D Sonic in the near future she'll be playable. That's what I hope, since she's fun to play as in Advance and the romhacks that implement her into the classic games.

Holy cow, only just saw the Sonic Mania footage now, it looks fantastic, but there's one thing that's been bugging me.

Why on earth are there so many people saying the characters look 'over-animated?' What does that even mean? It looks too appealing and smooth for a game done in the Genesis style?

I don't want to be a contrarian here, but I didn't really smile at these. The 'Do you wanna fight a snowman' got a nasal exhalation as did the 'Steel Donut' but none of the expressions did anything for me.

I think it may be down the fact that comedy is based upon surprise, and that I expect Hesse to draw silly faces. Maybe I just prefer it when I see human beings making silly faces rather than cartoon animals, it's like they're almost too simplistic for me to find amusing, or maybe not exaggerated enough? Am I alone in this? Is it just the style? because I do enjoy a funny face.

To be honest I didn't get the punchline until now. Metal Sonic being the combination of the three destroyed robots. However that's not really much of a punchline as Metal Sonic never really came across as an 'OC' to anyone. It's really just a lot of amusing references and happenings (like how the 'BOOM' is in the Sonic Boom font), it's all fine but it's not *that* funny.

Nah, just maybe cause it's a cartoon for kids who like a bit of that there slapstick and references that they'll get, and then we get to chuckle at references such as OC-001.
As for being funny to everyone, can't be helped, just not your humour.
Although not smiling at the Amy one weirds me out, that's solid gold.
Yoto must be pleased.
>>
>>158594165
I understand what you mean. The punchline honestly cracked me up though. Also while Metal Sonic truly isn't an 'OC', I think the joke is that Eggman tried to create something original, but failed to come up a good one. When he'd mixed those robots together, he created an "OC" who is basically a "Robot Sonic" as a joke to make fun of fans who make OCs who are basically "_____ Sonic"
>>
>>158594547
Saying something is for kids isn't an excuse and you know that, I like a lot of cartoons and comics that are targeted towards children but this just doesn't do it for me.

I really ask this because I *am* a Sonic fan, sort of, and the comic is the one facet of the franchise that gets discussed the most regularly here, let's face it. So the fact that I'm not enjoying it despite the fact that I normally do enjoy these things (I loved reading the Darkwing Duck comic and a lot of the old Disney stuff) makes me wonder if it's just something wrong with the comic itself, or if it's just the environment in which I'm reading it in, i.e. here (like watching a movie at home as opposed to a boisterous cinema).

The Amy one is good, it's a classic gag but I feel that it's one that would have worked better in motion, when you read it on the page you already see the punchline before you've read the setup, if it was on the next page it would have worked better.

I feel it's a good enough excuse, I mean, when I watch Sonic Boom and see straight up slapstick or the obvious jokes I don't tell the writers they aren't writing for me, but I get what you mean.

As I said, I feel it's just a case of what you said, environments and different people and all that.
The old disney comics are grand.

I have a bias against comics in general, I feel books and film can do what comics do but better, the fact I read the Sonic and Mega Man comics are a testament to how much I like franchises I suppose, but I agree with you on the page setup.

I don't know man, entitled to your opinion. What do you think of the main comics?

Amy was alright in both the Adventure games with Sonic, who was still a bit nervous around her but not much. Sonic Heroes (and X) was where Amy's thirst for Sonic's chili-dog and Sonic being terrified of her begins. At least in Lost World, Amy is a lot calmer and Sonic is cool with talking to her now.

I actually prefer these Mega Drive books but I am a classic guy so that's to be expected.

The main book is... well, I don't find it funny, and I haven't really been 'wowed' by it. I mean, I've just never had a moment when reading it where I'm smiling and nodding my head at how awesome or ridiculous the situation is. Now that may be because Sonic is already in a fantastical setting so it doesn't really feel like it's breaking grounds when you have an underwater car or something that in a comic set in a realistic environment would be considered a little out there. However even in comics like Judge Dredd or Martha Washington or even AoStH or Mighty Mouse the New Adventures to an extent where you have all sorts of weird stuff happening all the time it still manages to have those sort of 'man this is just crazy' moments. Or of course those really awesome moments of action or stirring adventure, basically anything to give me an emotional response, I don't get that with Sonic.

Dare I say it, I feel I would have enjoyed this book more if I read it during the dark ages, even if it went out of character, you still had moments where things just went completely nuts like Titan Tails, I laugh at that page every time. True, it's not laughing at it for the right reasons, but it's still something to laugh at. That said I do think the comic is better now, but maybe it's just gone a bit safe, or it's just because we've been doing the Unleashed arc and we're only now going to start getting proper stories.

>>158596990
Come on now, single panels or faces can be funny. The proof is in the very website we use. Not to mention that we have the whole of the off-panel page and the Amy gag.
>>
>>158596812
Who has the worst flanderization out of the cast? Tails, Amy, Knuckles, or Shadow?
>>
>>158597447
In the games? Knuckles
In the fanbase? Amy or Shadow.
>>
>>158596853
It's shit.
But don't take my word for it! Try it yourself!
>>
>>158597378
Of course single panels can be funny, but that has nothing to do with the quality of a gag in the context of execution.
That's like watching a bunch of Vines from Ghostbusters and saying it's not a funny movie cause those 6 second clips didn't grab you.

Some times a panel can work as a reaction image but it's not CREATED for the purpose of being stripped out of the environment. That's an after effect. There are reaction images that are funny as snapshots that aren't actually very funny jokes in context. They're not even remotely judgeable on the same merit.
>>
>>158597791
Well that doesn't really change the fact that I didn't find these particular panels funny. Are you saying that no-one else should find them funny because they were posted out of context? Because clearly other people did find them amusing.
>>
>>158597105
This page was so good, I love it so much.
>>
>>158598082
No, Christ. You said yourself that comedy is based on surprise, so not being amused after someone basically saying GET READY FOR A PUNCHLINE shouldn't be shocking. But more importantly you can't judge the quality of the gags or the book from those panels.

You're being told the punchline without the setup and then judging the whole joke based on it.
>>
>>158597105
why does he smell like fireplace?

would've thought that wouldn't put Amy off, guess she has certain "standards" afterall
>>
>>158597378
It's amazing and awe inspiring for kids, the target audience. Of course we've seen shit like this before with other franchises and all that.

But it seems you're a lot more cynical with yer thinking when it comes to this franchise.
I'll be honest, I'm not overly animated when reading anything, but I'll smile at shit like Espio's Blasphemy or little nods, but I don't know man.

If the comic doesn't get to you that much, how come you're reading it? Just cause it's Sonic related? I mean it was the only reason I took an interest in it until I realised it was great as it's own thing.

Ah well, hopefully you enjoy the new comics.

You're kind of saying a joke should still be funny if you only hear the end, anon. That's silly. Even if sometimes it does work, who really wants every single joke to be punctuated by a HILARIOUS reaction face? That's 15 year-old Youtube tier comedy. It's okay sometimes but it's also okay to just have some subtle fun acting.

Where did I judge the whole book? I've said things about the main book but I've never said 'I don't think Mega Drive 2 will be any good based off these panels'. I'm just saying that while other people are liking these faces and panels, I'm not, and I've gone over why I'm pondering that.

>>158598562
>It's amazing and awe inspiring for kids, the target audience. Of course we've seen shit like this before with other franchises and all that.

That's a fair point, and I would be interested to see a kids perspective. However I still feel that I should be able to laugh, smile or just really get into the story or characters. There were parts of Mega Drive I did like, and there are parts of the main book which I've enjoyed but not enough.

As for why I'm reading it, well, it's here, so I might as well. And as I said it is the main topic of discussion here.

>>158598902
You're projecting a little here, I said single panels and faces *can* be funny, not that they *should* be funny. The person posting those panels clearly thought they were funny as did some other people in the thread. As for the whole goofy face thing, again, you're projecting, one of my favourite things about Chuck Jones are those deadpan expressions and reactions he does in so many of his later works.
>>
>>158597726
Ignoring that his naivety has been flanderized into idiocy, has Knuckles always been an hot-headed and easily ticked character? His portrayal in S3&K had him as a trickster who taunts you every time you fall in his traps, in SA1 and SA2, he was more of a serious, mature and responsible but quite cool-headed character, and in Heroes, he was like a mixture of the previous games I just mentioned where he was very chill, outgoing and likes to joke and tease with his friends.

Slight nugget about '17 from a Q&A with Iizuka.

"is PR2017 made from the same thread of Generations?
No, they are different. PR2017 is similarly planned to include classic 2D and modern 3D stages. However, in addition to that there will be a new component."

I'm getting real tired of that guy's bullshit.

Sticking to your question, I'd probably go to /fast/ to regroup if we don't come up with a better idea. My biggest fear is moderation. Perhaps doing a general on some 8's board would be a good idea in the long term if 4chan is kill, instead making a board for ourselves and having to moderate it ourselves too.

He did with Colors but they chose a couple of clowns over him with that one.

He's been around since (or around) the beginning, so that's good, since it means he'll likely stick around. I'm unaware of how many people have been here since the early early days.
>>
>>158621697
I know /fast/ is 8. what are the other two?
>>
>>158623075
I think the poll that was done had a good two dozen of us. I know I've been around since the marathon on /co/. The ride was better.
>>
>>158623120
/sth/ is also 8 and I believe he's talking about 8's /vg/ as well.
>>
>>158623120
8.

/sth/ is a different Sonic board and there is a (dead) /sthg/ on their /vg/ that's still on thread one.
>>
>>158623075
I know I left for a bit after the initial exodus to 8, and ended up returning specifically because all the Sonic discussion was dead, but I've been around since the /v/ ride.

Because she is extremely talented at her craft and extremely cute.(barely 1.45 m tall) She is also funny and quick-witted which makes her good to have around for events/livestreams.

There should be one perfect path in the level, as complicated as it may be.

A path that you can complete the level without ever stopping and turning, just using ramps and shit. That's what makes it feel truly rewarding, when you can master the level and never have to stop and break flow. Green hill paradise act 2 did it. I mean shit.

I liked the dynamics, but disliked the art style post-pilot, the writing, and the uneven character focus.

Rotor and Bunnie hardly figure into season one and may as well not be in season two, Antoine has no character development despite being an archetype that doesn't work for static characters and getting frequent appearances, Sally is bland like paper and her utilization is almost sexist at times (I'm not one to say that often but she's given more value as a vagina than a person, leader or royal figure in WAY too many episodes), and the moments of charm and wit are scant and mostly relegated to Sonic and Robotnik.

The idea's nice and the archetypes work, but the writing is abysmal, more or less.
>>
>>158652575
This is more open-ended than it seems. The games have never stopped introducing new characters. Colors introduced the Wisps, Generations introduced the Classic cast and Time Eater, and Lost World introduced the Zeti and the Deadly Six. These all technically count as characters.

>>158652807

But no seriously, wonder who they could put in.
I'd be up for a new character, provided it was done well.
Doubt it'd be an edgelord and we've got our fair share of rivals, be they cocky like Jet, edgy like Shadow, or serious like Knuckles, and all the girls as a whole make up for a pretty round ensemble.

Although the news is vague, I like that we have some new information.

However, it's still pretty vague. For instance, Classic stages will be in 2D and Modern stages in 3D. The Classic stages may or may not use the same engine, and the Modern stages might have Adventure-esque full 3D instead of the 3D/2D of the recent games. Or it might not.

The "new component" could be anything.

Lastly, the new character could be a protagonist like Blaze and Silver, a deuteragonist like the Deadly Six, or a monster of the week like the Ifrit or the Time Eater.
>>
Remember that when the Chaotix were brought back for Heroes, Iizuka's mentality was that they're brand-new characters unrelated to their appearance in the Chaotix game or Fighters (Espio). We also have the Hooligans referenced in Mania with implications that there might be more than just wanted posters. So my guess is Iizuka is going to do the same thing to another previous character that he did to the Chaotix and reinvent them, with them only appearing as an NPC outside of gameplay.

That character will of course be classic Amy

So it looks like Project 2017 is going to introduce a new character.

Would you rather:

Sidekick
Rival
Villain
Love Interest

Maybe this new character would be like Shade? A character who you'll never see again after their debut?

I'm probably the only one, but I kind of want to see Shade again. Just to see what would she do with her life after she, Sonic, and the others had defeated Eggman and save the world. I could imagine she will feel complicated due to her being trapped in the Twilight Cage for a long time.
>>
>>158669935
Shadow isn't the 'rival' character in the general sense, because he's another Sonic. Knuckles is the only true Rival, other than maybe Jet.

Amy is the only true love interest in the Sonic series sense. A traditional love interest can't work because Sonic and commitment don't mix.

Shadow's the kind of rival that, like Metal Sonic or ... Silver...., is an alternate depiction of Sonic, putting Sonic in a situation where he faces himself. But someone like Knuckles is the kind of rival that has all the abilities to stop and oppose Sonic, with an idea of "X is better than Y" or something.

Knuckles is more of a friendly "rival". Shadow was originally Sonic's rival throughout SA2 and somewhat Heroes, but he's helped Sonic in other entries like Heroes (Metal Madness), 06, Colors DS, and Generations.
>>
>>158674169
(Continued)
Jet, however, is the only rival as of yet to actually make Sonic angry and remain his rival in all the games he's appeared in.
>>
>>158674169
My understanding of a true "Rival Character" is the one that usually becomes the 'Friendly' rival, and would often be depicted as the Best Friend if there isn't a "Sidekick" best friend, or maybe alongside the "Sidekick" best friend.

while we do have a few sperglords, the normal-person/sperglord ratio is far better here than any other sonic forum. i consider myself to be a normal person and i know for a fact that a lot of you are normal people too. there has been lots of good discussion here about the games and comics with interesting opinions and ideas you won't find on other sonic sites.

shitposting is fun in doses, especially when someone is actually angry.

there's nothing wrong with occasinal waifuposting or husbandoposting. the comic in particular has a lot of lovable characters

Yeah, but for a character that was made to be a rival character to the main character, he doesn't really fill that role anymore. I think the last time Sonic and Knuckles had a straight up fight was in Adventure and I think some of the handhelds.

The examples I listed, Kevin 11 from the Ben 10 series and Riku from Kingdom Hearts eventually became less 'rival' and more 'best friend' over time, but the idea of them being "the Rival' still existed. It's usually just their debut that their Rival nature is at it's strongest.

Call me a Segafag but I don't think the SatAM characters should be the main characters in the comics anymore.

The show was cancelled over 20 years ago and yet they're still the main Sonic crew.

DESU I don't think they should have OCs in the comics anymore. They have enough game characters to last them years. It reeks of incompetence that the writer needs OCs to tell a story, as if they're using them as a crutch
>>
>>158682127
>Do we a character like that?
i don't think so

The actual discs came later after the game sold very well.

When DTR released, there were boxed versions for the PS3 that only came with a code and a pin. Why, nobody knows.
>>
>>158682234
OCs only work if they look and feel like a real character Sega would've made.

They have to be as authentic as possible.

Didn't Ian said something about that Sonic, Tails, and Amy will be doing their own things after the SWC? Also, I wouldn't mind the FFs taking backseat and all, but they are supposed to be close friends with Sonic since the other game characters besides Tails, Amy, and maybe Knuckles are not that close to him.

>>158682234
Honestly, to build a world for the comic characters to be in, and a comic having to be an ongoing thing rather than a game to game thing, to have backstory, the amount of characters in Sonic just isn't enough.

For Sonic and Eggman to have an ongoing thing lasting possibly hundreds of issues, there needs to be other shit going on, and there's only so many times characters can interact with each other before you have to introduce new elements.

But you're the same faggot I know you to be.
What did you think of the Mega Man comics?

Sonic has quite a few friends, they're just off doing their own things most of the time.

>Rouge is with Team Dark
>>
>>158681891
I think the SEGA just shouldn't be as closely affiliated with the Freedom Fighters as they are. They're good as allies that they team up with every so often, but Sonic doesn't seem like the type to want to be tied down to the Acorn Kingdom (and by extension, neither do Tails or Amy, since they mostly follow him around). Still, just having the core 3 or 4 game characters at the forefront of every story would get boring fast, especially since SEGA is so strict with what they are and aren't allowed to do or say.
>>
>>158652562
It's gonna be someone tied to the plot like Chip.
>>
>>158683071
But why do you need comic characters or backstory for most of them? You don't. Nor do you need an expansive continuity. You can have each issue be a self contained adventure
>>
>>158683271
True, and it could work like that.
But for a comic series you want some continuity.
So you know, you get people to buy every issue so they don't miss out, business and all.

I guess the only thing I can say is, the people who buy the comics, kids and adults alike, mostly enjoy the characters and the storylines. Ok, in Ian's run at least, I can't account for Penders run.

Also Ian if you're lurking I've got a new job I'll pay for the comics.

Outta curiosity, name me one comic that did a straight up adaptation with no new characters that tried to go on longer than 20 issues.
Even the great Scrooge comics introduced new people.
>>
>>158682918
Eggman must have finally learn how to take control of monsters without them turning on him. Hell, he was actually doing alright when he was controlling the Deadly Six if it wasn't for Sonic kicking the conch shell into the oblivion.
>>
I think the FFs would be better if they were antiheros
>>
>>158682918
Probably because he just turned it into a robot entirely, taking away whatever free will it had/might have ended up having instead of just going with the usual plan of
>awaken ancient evil being
>tell it to do things
>hope it doesn't tell me to fuck off
>>
>>158671405
I'm taking it with a pinch of salt because of how vague the information is, rather. But it still makes you think about the possibilities and how they could royally screw everything up. Also, it's fun to react
>>
>>158672258
Imagine if they had, how much more polarizing the games would have been.
>>
>>158672676
These kind of comments are always followed by a huge shitstorm that completely contradicts them.
>>
>>158681891
They were originally made so Sonic can have some friends but since new characters have pop up they're now largely irrelevant.
>>
>>158685678
So they need something to stick out to stay relevant. We have a ton of heroes in Sonic, but not enough anti-heroes outside of team Dark
>>
>>158684658
He didn't turn it into a robot. It was already a robot that he found in space.
>>
>>158685968
This, we already have enough heroes but having new villains is never a bad idea.
>>
>>158686194
Well, the FFs would be anti-heros at worst. Most of them anyways. Bunnie would teeter on the edge between anti0hero and villain. Think Jason Todd when written as a bad guy
>>
>>158686135
The Time Eater wasn't mechanical when Eggman found it.

Come to think of it, my ideal backstory for her is really reminiscent of Jason Todd

Robotizing it was how he tamed it.
>>
>>158686729

Too bad Eggman didn't do the same thing with the Zetis. Granted, it was Sonic's fault for kicking the conch shell away, but if Eggman had robotized the Zetis like how they could have done to Tails, things would've been good on his part.
