Line #1 YMMV/TailsTube


1	* CharacterRerailment: 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 person 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: stern, yet somewhat laid-back.
2	* EpilepticTrees:
3	** 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 she is and what her deal is.
4	** There was brief speculation of a ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' remaster thanks to an edited screenshot of the game's opening appearing in the first episode (this did eventually happen, though whether the screenshots in question were intentional hints or not remains up for debate).
5	** The fifth Episode has Sonic noting to the gang that it is coming up on the "anniversary" of [[VideoGame/SonicSuperstars their adventure on Northstar Island]]. Alongside the rather obvious nod to the upcoming game, Amy also mentions that she wonders if she can invite someone, with her last words fading out before the episode's end. This has gotten fans speculating about which characters would appear next on ''[=TailsTube=]'', from characters like Cream the Rabbit or Tangle the Lemur, to even Trip the Sungazer since Sonic mentioned the setting of ''Superstars'', and given [[spoiler:her HeelFaceTurn, it's looking most likely to be the latter]]. Mostly jossed when the following sixth Episode had Team Dark as guests (Shadow, Rouge, and Omega), though the door is still possibly open to allow the aforementioned characters as guests in future episodes.
6	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
7	** In the third episode, while Knuckles is a little uncertain about how to use the new communication technology that Tails gave him, and does end up breaking it by the end, he's willing to use it and even asks in concern if Tails was in any kind of trouble when he does contact the echidna. Goes to show that, while their interactions are somewhat limited, the two are indeed as close as Tails can be with Sonic.
8	** In episode 6, after Eggman crashes Tails' little Christmas party, Tails gives the scientist a gift, a book called "102 Things to Build on a Rainy Day". Eggman is ecstatic as Sage wanted to do more family bonding things.
9	** At the start of Episode 6, Shadow came when he heard there was a crisis, only to find out it was a gift exchange and Chaos Control himself out of Tails' place. Shadow then comes back to Tails' house after hearing the commotion that came from Eggman's prior crash. When he sees that Tails actually left him a gift, he is curious enough to open it. When he sees the card says "have an Ultimate Holiday," he brushes off as "ridiculous," before conceding it is a little chilly outside and puts the scarf he got from Tails around his neck. Not only does Shadow soften up for the Holidays, he looks adorable wearing the scarf.
10	* SalvagedStory: The series itself is aiming make the canon of the franchise a bit more cohesive to newcomers and longtime fans, which has resulted in some changes that were appreciated.
11	** 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.
12	** 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 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 worlds and 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.
13	** Episode 5 has Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy reminisce about Mighty, Ray, and Fang, along with offhandedly mentioning Bean and Bark as members of Fang's gang, which seems to suggest SEGA is starting to loosen up on their [[ExiledFromContinuity embargo]] on letting the three show up outside of the Classic games.
14	* UnexpectedCharacter: Fans were taken by surprise when episode 4 featured a brief cameo of Max the Monkey and Mach the Rabbit, two characters who were conceived for, but [[WhatCouldHaveBeen ultimately scrapped]] from ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 Sonic 1]]''.
