** The ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' retcon suggesting that Classic Sonic was from another dimension was similarly disliked by fans, being seen as suddenly making the timeline a lot more confusing and coming off as an excuse to bring Classic Sonic back whenever SEGA feels like it [[note]]That said, as [[https://twitter.com/soniclorepost/status/1276673044543688704?s=61&t=m7fiT1CG-Id-jG9aSe-vEw some]] have pointed out, Classic Sonic being from another dimension was likely a [[DubInducedPlothole mistranslation]] stemming from translators misinterpreting the Japanese word "Sekai" (the Japanese word for World), which can have a variety of meanings and has been used by the franchise in the past to refer to things like different time periods[[/note]]. Fortunately, Episode 4 re-retconned things back to ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''' explanation as Modern being present Sonic and Classic being past Sonic. While what, if any, ramifications this presents to the franchise long term are yet to be seen, fans are at least happy to have a more coherent timeline again.

* SalvagedStory: The implication of there being two worlds (one inhabited by Sonic's kind and the other inhabited by humans) was heavily disliked by fans (and even those who are directly involved with the franchise, like Sonic comic writer Creator/IanFlynn) due to how confusing and convoluted it is, on top of the games never hinting at there being two worlds, and was often seen as a flimsy excuse to keep non-Eggman humans out of the franchise after the infamous ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Sonic 06]]'' and the polarizing ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed''. It even went with the name "Two Worlds [[DeathOfTheAuthor Theory]]" despite being stated by an official source. The first episode of ''[=TailsTube=]'' would go on to retcon this in favor of having one world, explaining that anthropomorphic animals live on smaller islands, while humans live on bigger countries. This has been met with widespread praise by fans.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: During Episode 3, Knuckles proves to be {{Adorkable}} in his own ways and is fairly calm... though he loses his cool at the idea of letting ''anyone'' near the Master Emerald, even Tails, threatening to throw the poor fox off the edge of the island if he tries analyzing it. But he's still calm in [[TranquilFury another sense]], at least.
** Likewise, his [[BluntNo blunt]] response to learning about what The Sonic Scoop is. Dave B. Mitchell's deadpan delivery really sells it:
--->'''Tails:''' This is my show, "The Sonic Scoop," where we talk ''all about Sonic!''\\
'''Knuckles:''' Oh. ''({{beat}})'' No thanks.\\
'''Tails:''' Uh... wh--\\
'''Knuckles:''' I don’t want to talk about Sonic. Is that all? ''(gets in close to the camera)'' How do I turn this thing off--
** Eventually, Sonic crashes the party and starts twisting his dreads over his isolated lifestyle. Knuckles, ever the hothead, loses his patience and proceeds to show them a "special rock" he found so that he can demonstrate what it can do: break the communicator Tails sent him to host the interview.
--->'''Sonic:''' I dunno, I-- I feel like ''any'' rock could do that.

** During the first episode, there was a mysterious purple haired lady who appeared right alongside the other humans that has not appeared prior. Many fans have speculated that the woman is a character that will appear in ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers''. The fact that the game's English scriptwriter, Creator/IanFlynn, replied to these theories with #Knowingsmile (which he typically uses as a way to tease things that he can't reveal yet) has only added fuel to the speculations. The ''Frontiers'' theories were ultimately {{Jossed}} by the game's release, as she makes no appearance in the game, leaving many to speculate who and what her deal is.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The show has gone to clear up several aspects about the franchise's lore that were criticized by fans, as well as get several characters' personalities back on track to consistency, an aspect which many fans have been heavily critical of over the years.

** Episode 3 received overwhelmingly positive reception for dialing Knuckles' characterization back to his more stoic ''Adventure''-era self rather than continuing on with the hot-headed persona he was [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] into afterwards, being serious and straightforward yet still able to make informed decisions or take a joke every once in a while. VocalEvolution also resulted in many fans becoming more accepting of [[Creator/DaveBMitchell Dave B. Mitchell's]] performance, even over Knuckles' [[Creator/DanGreen previous]] [[Creator/TravisWillingham VAs]], due to coming off as more natural as opposed to the impression of Willingham's performance from ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing'' and ending up sounding similar to Ryan Drummond and Scott Dreier's takes on the character from the ''Adventure'' era: a stern, yet somewhat laid-back tone.

** The second episode finally clarifies one of the more infamous plot holes in ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', that being, the absence of G.U.N. during the game's events. As despite being a powerful military organization, they were nowhere to be seen in the game. The episode explains that they have been decimated by the Eggman Empire.
