I can only speak to personal experience given that I've kept myself divorced from the fantasy as much as humanly possible. I liked Colors when it came out. It was fun. Still is. The writing was bad, but that was easy to ignore. My opinion on the game hasn't aged well over time, but that initial reception was positive. For reference, by that point, the only Sonic games I actively disliked were '06 and Unleashed. My opinion on Unleashed has even migrated to mixed over time.
I feel confused too.
Honestly, stop You two. I think I can trust Geek Critique when he could offer some historical context about Colors.

...That's...not my intention? And I'm sorry if you or anyone else has been feeling that way. Like...I can only talk about my own experiences, and yea, not every experience I've had with Sonic has been a positive one unfortunately.
But me bringing that up isn't meant to be some type of dig at people or anything, I'm just literally talking about things I've experienced is all. I do this in every other thread and aside from one recent incident where I acknowledge I went out of line, I haven't really experienced much pushback.
Like if me bringing up experiences I've had in the past bothers you and others, I'll stop. But I feel like it's a bit weird to discredit my opinion on the basis of it not aligning with the popular one.
Like...this is literally just how I speak...

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.You both are fine, it's just that the discussions was going nowhere. I feel Geek could shine lights to the topic better because he collects info from old posts from the fandom.
Regardless, Flynn stated that Sonic Origins overwrites the canon of the original games. There arent huge changed, but i'm sure someone will nitpick.
For some reason, Sonic Spinball is canon too. What does this mean? Not even he knows.

The only canon that really changes is that Amy had her hammer before Sonic Adventure, which, uh... Okay sure.
Nothing really changes all too much by virtue of most of what was added being stuff that was said in supplementary materials already, like Amy's Tarot cards.
The real loss was Sonic Boom. Toot Toot just isn't as catchy, fight me.
...if the only significant change is Amy having a hammer than Flynn's statement is weird.
My only bug with Sonic Origins is the same problem everyone else has with the soundtrack.
I think that’s where her hammer originated actually. (Edit: ninja’d)
Ngl the stuff I’ve been seeing from Frontiers lately seems a lot more promising than I expected. Also, even tho the memory angle is definitely excuse to reuse assets and level layouts it seems like it’s something the devs aren’t trying to hide. Like Sky Sanctuary has Chemical Plant enemies and Dragon Road’s layout.
But I’m hoping not every level theme is ripped straight from Gens.

I think the Origins version of Sonic and Tails’ first meeting is different from how we previously saw it in the games too (I think in SA 1?).
Make beliefs reborn! Myths in mind rethought! Question all that's known!
Darkspine Sonic joins Sonic Forces Mobile?!? What?!?

Hrm.
I feel like I've been here with you too. You say something implicitly nasty, make some kind of off color implication (no pun intended) or import an opinion from some negative forum you've been to, people turn out to not agree with you about it, and then when they call you out on it and it becomes a debate its a lot either goalpost moving of "I don't know what you're talking about," or "I didn't say it, those wacky fans amirite" or "why are you ganging up on me?" (or in this case, both).
And it's only ever on this thread, too. You're fine everywhere else, which is why I usually let it go. But it also feels like we're always getting arguments and negativity in here as a result of you doing this, and like... come on dude. The posts are right there.
