->''"So VideoGame/SonicFrontiers… decides to tackle Tails' [[BadassDecay mishandling]]… '''very''' directly. And, ah, you know, many people really like this; many people really appreciate the… formal acknowledgement. I understand. I get it. But lemme tell ya anyway… '''[[TropesAreTools why I don’t… like it]]'''.''

->''"To paraphrase what’s going on here, the game is, in essence, saying, 'Yes, Tails was an asshat in these games– special mention to [[VideoGame/SonicForces Forces]]– and yes, his writing has been… [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall wildly inconsistent]]! But if you just think about it like everyone having their bad days, uhhhh… it’s… it can be like, character growth! There. Boom. Patched that right up. All better now!'''

->''"Except, I don’t think it is. In fact, I think you’re just making it worse, and I really wish you would just leave it alone. Look, I’m all for embracing the past; I don’t like it when media franchises pretend that shitty things don’t exist. Believe it or not, I would ideally '''want''' Sonic Forces to be contextually relevant, because it’s supposed to be [[TheBadGuyWins a major historical event]]. But when the character study of Tails in your atmospheric “open-zone” experience is literally defined by… him being a bad character, does that '''really''' convey the message you’re intending? Are we really supposed to like Tails if all we have to say on him is whether or not he sucks?''

->''"Instead of telling a new story with Tails that could be remembered for years to come, we’ve opted to '''extend''' his terrible reputation into one more game! Tails '''could''' just be written really well, and it would naturally convey that he’s moved on from being a bitch-baby; like, you don’t need to canonize— to '''[[ShowDontTell explaaaaain]]''' everything. I think the audience is perfectly capable of filling in the gaps here, just as they tried to be when it came time to make headcanons for… the previous depiction. You could claim it’s being transformative with a concept that didn’t work, but what actually is the arc here? Tails learns that he has to become a hero in his own right, deciding that he’ll go it alone in a future endeavor? Well, that sounds nice, it really reminds me of— '''VideoGame/SonicAdventure. VideoGame/SonicAdventure2. VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog.''' [[WaxingLyrical 'If I just follow you, I will never see the light!']] It’s [[ResetButton back to square one]], disguised as some coming-of-age story!''

->''"(…) And that really is all we’ve got for Tails here, by the way. It’s not like this is some background element, it’s not like there’s layers to this; the game truly [[NeverLiveItDown can only offer commentary on his sidekick status]]."''

->''"When we discover that the other stories in this trilogy were just '[[IMeantToDoThat practice runs]]' for the Monk's plan in this story, the writer is as good as saying that those stories were irrelevant as he ploughs on and does something intriguing with the formula himself. It's the equivalent of having three Master stories in a trilogy, and the bearded wonder making a grand speech in the final adventure declaring 'those last two schemes of mine were never meant to defeat you, Doctor, they were just practice runs for this -- my Masterplan!'"''

->''"''Stigma'' arrives midway through the second season, and seems to confirm the prognosis of so many pop culture commentators eager for blood after the failure of ''Film/StarTrekNemesis''. ''Star Trek'' is just the walking dead, at least in this iteration. Something radical is needed; something new. It might not be enough to save the franchise, but perhaps it can redeem the show."''
