"Why do people like this episode?" Because they have an opinion too, ya' know. How could this be a Tails Torture Porn? Just where did you come up with that idea? Who said that the writers wanted to torture Tails or ever play it for laughs? Did you ever think that maybe they genuinely wanted a moving tearjerker? You're also implying that media of any kind is never allowed to have any moments of sadness, well there is anyway. Could you explain how Sonic was "derailed?" Because you did not explain how at all.

Review of Episode the Last 2 Episodes
Episodes 77 and 78. These episodes suck... even in the original Japanese version. I know what you all are going to respond with, "that was an amazing tearjerker, don't hate on it!" I respond to that with, "The only "amazing" thing about it is the voice acting, and it never excuses the atrocious writing." as well as the rest of this review. This is mean-spirited and cruel EVEN FOR A TRAGEDY. It's clear that this would be a Tails Toture Porn (which I wouldn't be surprised if Sonic Boom starts doing often, considering Tails is at the receiving end of most jokes in that trailer) had they played it for laughs... and they only didn't because it was the finale and because the show hasn't done a torture porn prior. They have Tails kill someone who he is really close to... and another person he's close to smiling as it happens. What in the name of...? Sonic's character has been butchered by this episode, and very little of it is actually enjoyable. Then... we have the 4kids dub... which makes everything I've pointed out WORSE and removes the charm of the voice acting... There is very little good that came from this episode other than people crying... and is that really what you want to do with entertainment? Cry? No, you want to either be entertained, or have your heart warmed... not broken, and if it has to be broken - give the moment a reason. Episode 68 of this show develops a character, Romeo and Juliet (I think it's pretty weak by Shakespeare standards, so it's a safe comparison) proves a concept wrong by playing it realistically and tragically, Samurai Jack uses these moments for both reasons and to show how Samurai Jack has developed, Avatar The Last Airbender episode "Tales of Ba Sing Se" uses it to show why Iroh was developed, etc. This episode does none of that. This episode derails characters, and fills the entire third season with dread and unfortunate implications. Why do people like this episode so much? Why did I like this episode so much (as a kid)? I'll never truly know...
