I just assume "poorly made OCS" mostly refer to recolors. Out of the IDW cast, only Kitsunami could be called one.

Ironically he's my fave.

I mean, Surge is based on the glitched palette Sonic from 2, and IIRC that's the same source as evil Sonic's redesign.

Just like Starline is based on Knuckles' glitched palette from Chaotix, and supposedly Kit is based on a glitched Tails palette.

Oh, they're going the Mortal Kombat route of turning glitches and errors into whole-ass characters.

I love it.

Is there going to be a Blue Knuckles and red Sonic character?

I think Kit was based on Blue Knuckles, but was a Tails counterpart because Blue Knuckles' level end screen was Tails.

Re: Ian killing off his own characters is one of the reasons why I adore his writing. It gives the cast a sort of mortality and if given dire, life threatening stakes, it in turn makes the work more engaging in my opinion. As long as there's a satisfying payoff, I'd like to see more of that.

Putting your favorite character on the chopping block is a risk I'm willing to take.

It gives the illusion of stakes anyway since we know the main cast aren't in any danger of dying.

Doesn't negate that other point.

I'm amused that for a while Flynn's detractors pulled the idea that Starline was an Author Avatar of him. It even got to the BK, where he was mildly amused.

That's kinda like how prequels work.

You make a prequel to a movie and call it, like, "The Adventures of Jane and Bob". And then the main characters are Jane and Bob from the original plus these five other new characters you introduced.

Everyone knows Jane and Bob are in the original movie so there's no real fear that anything might happen to them. But the characters who aren't in the original movie? All bets are off.

Or how in Transformers stories, the characters that don't have toys on shelves have the highest chances to die.

[up][up][up]If anything (assuming it's not an especially light work), characters debuting in prequels have significantly increased chances of dying.

Sonic has died before but it turns out to be a fake robot that looks exactly like Sonic, a simulation that Robotnik designed, a clone of Sonic that died and that is just Fleetway. Archie and Idw probably had fake Sonic's deaths too.

Well, obviously Sonic's died. We just had a totally-canon visual novel about Sonic's definitely-real-and-final death!

Sonic died in canon once.

And then that game was retconned.

In more ways than one, too.
