Yeah. Because Tyson has some good observations on the Sonic cast, this has made some Japanese-only fans to herald him as "the good one", despite the fact his writing credits are very few.

It's just the weirdness of the fandom. He is an excellent artist, nobody would deny him that.

[up]Wait, I read Boxer Hockey once. Did not know it was the same guy.

Watching Sonic Prime. Does anyone else feel like they put way more effort into the New Yolk setting than any of the others?

Ok I see now why Sonic Prime cannot be canon

Big said that because of a food incident, he can't smell! This contradicts Sonic Héroes where he has a great sense of smell to know where Froggy is!

0/10 worst adaptation ever!

This just means that Prime takes place after Heroes, and Big got into a horrific accident inbetween all those games he wasn't in.

That's the reason why Big has been absent for so long. A horrible chill incident that he is only just now recovering from.

As someone who has never read the Archie comics, it is utterly baffling to see how protective people get over Sally Acorn.

And don't tell me to read them, because I'm not going to.

It's apparently the time of year to randomly suggest that a troper should read Archie comics...

Series of choice, of course but it does have to be branded "Archie".

As someone who read Archie Sonic as a kid, Sally is decent but I’m surprised she still has a major following.

I still remember her slap though.[lol]

[up][up][up] That's fine, I'll just recommend you watch SATAM insteadtongue

I'm assuming most of the shall we say, devotion, is due to Sally predating Amy as a possible love interest for the Western side of fandom (possibly due to the aforementioned toon predating CD. Even if it didn't, most people in the west likely first knew of Amy via Adventure or Sonic X)

Yeah, my Sonic cartoon of choice was Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog.

If I want dark asthetics I'll go to Sonic Underground because at least that is goofy as hell.

If you were a Sonic fan who grew up with the series in the early to mid 90's, Sally was the love interest on the Western side of things.

And it was the longest lasting romantic relationship in the entire franchise. Sonic/Sally were an item for a very long time, and even after they broke up, they kept their feelings for each other.

Given how unreasonable Sonic fans tend to be about...anything, its not too surprising people clung super hard to Sally.

Like in a franchise where people complain about the color of Sonic's eyes or the shade of his fur, does obsessing over one of his love interests really come off as much of a surprise?

Unlike Sally, the shade of Sonic's fur actually matters.

It tells you which version of Sonic you're looking at.

I suppose age may be a part of it; I'm definitely part of the generation that hopped on the bandwagon during the Adventure Era, instead of the classic era, so Amy has always been the main love interest for me.

I'm glad I was just a bit too young to get into the western-created adaptations, or more specifically to end up in that part of the fandom.

Well, that, and the fact that I rarely got into any media other than video games at all as a kid.

My very first introduction to Amy was in Sonic Heroes.

Specifically her boss fight with Team Sonic.

“ Sonic, this time there’s no way outta marrying me. “

Call me a psycho, but I do miss silly Yandere Amy. It added some edge to their dynamic.

I was never really into Sally/Sonic or Amy/Sonic in and of themselves, though from a writing standpoint I would say the former managed to get more out of the relationship because there was an actual romance there. Amy's thing with Sonic has never felt like it progressed or change that much because of the core dynamics of how they write the characters so its not quite as interesting. Its why the Boom TV series was such a breath of fresh air because the interplay between them could finally be played with and changed up depending on the episode.

If those two are the options, then Sonic should remain single.
