YMMV / Where Was My Hero...?

Go To

  • Awesome Art: While the original story and SonAmy continuation already were fairly well drawn, special mention as to go to the Interquel; especially noticeble for the backgrounds, which went from rather under detailed to gorgeously drawn.
  • Bizarro Episode: The "Time of Month" short, which is rather lighthearted compared to the other parts.
  • Catharsis Factor: As the Hate Sink page explains. Miles' murder of his Bullies, gets played as this, and is pretty much Karma for their mistreatment towards Miles and his precious bird. As he finally manages to release all of his bottled up hatred on them, with the only method that they can understand. The Interquel makes Miles terrified of what he had did to them, but he gets over it very quickly, and doesn't express any regret, which makes him come to a point that he had did what he had do, to remove this said trash out of nature.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Miles' backstory in this story eerily matches up to the backstory of Nine in Sonic Prime, with both forced to grow up all alone and becoming colder because of it. Some viewers even called the take from Sonic Prime a rip-off from this comic due to how similar the two Tails ended up. They both even have some form of cybernetic enhancement that takes the form of additional limbs or appendages (Miles' six spider-like tendrils and Nine's seven additional robotic tails respectively.) Thankfully, Nine never crosses the Moral Event Horizon as of Season Two like Miles does, choosing instead to grow a spine by constructing his seven additional mechanical tails in order to defend himself from his bullies, though he is still very isolated and hardened in his personality and eventually steals the Paradox Prism for himself to create a dimension where he can be all by himself. But folds to Sonic at the end, which left his battles to be All for Nothing, as he gets convinced by Sonic to not shatter the universe, in return, Nine was left with nothing, but to watch Sonic leave him, once again all alone.
  • Informed Wrongness: Paired with Values Dissonance. Both Sonic and Miles, experience this when they manage to do something that seems in character to them, but yet...so out of place.
Sonic : I never thought that something so wrong, could ever feel so right.
Miles : I never thought that something so right, could ever feel so wrong.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Miles, you can't feel nothing but sad for the guy, after seeing him go through such abuse and even ultimately becoming a Villain at one point.
  • Like You Would Really Do It: Despite Miles's threats of destroying the city, he never does so, as it was all a bluff, there wasn't like a explosion or anything when the timer ended, it was his time that will come to an end.
  • Moral Event Horizon: The moment Miles made the order to execute not just everyone, but children as well, as Sonic deems him as Beyond Redemption in their last speech. Which results in Miles being stabbed in the heart with his own invention.
  • Signature Scene: Miles sitting in his throne, like a king he is.
  • Stoic Woobie: Miles, as he never complains and says that he is fine being on his own. Although Cream still becomes part of his company.
  • Special Effect Failure: While the artwork for the most part is beautifully drawn, one odd occurrence happens in the Interquel where the village fire uses obviously photoshopped in fire effects. Even stranger considering the original story had them drawn in like normal.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Although Interquel series, tries to show what Miles did after burning the village, it never gets finished completely, and his stay during the village or prison is never shown. It would have been so interesting to watch Miles try to pick himself up and follow his Badass Creed to some extent, how he wound burn bridges, take over the city, and find the will to live for.
  • Tear Jerker: THE WHOLE THING.
