What makes it creepier is when the surviving Twin absorbs the remains of its deceased siblings.

Hey, he actually did it!

Shame they didn’t show him trying to force Lego into making a bad Sonic built like he promised in the first vid.

The answer to the joke in the video of why do you knock before you open the refrigerator door: there may be a salad dressing

So weird sorta Bechdel Test question: How often do Knuckles and Tails talk about something other than Sonic, or in a conversation that doesn't include Sonic, in the game canon? I've kind of felt for a while like the second movie explored their bond more (which is to say, at all) in its last scene than the games do. Maybe there's something I missed in Heroes?

Even in the Boom show, I feel like they both interact more with Amy or Sticks than they do with each other.

I'm not sure how close Knuckles and Tails are to each other. The games never really explored their relationship with each other that well and at least in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie, we do get to see them interact with each other without Sonic, so that was nice. I wish we have more moments between Knuckles and Tails in the games.

I love animation, TV, movies, YOU NAME IT!

They don't because they hardly talk to each other at all.

Its kind of funny (and a little sad) how limited the interactions are among the main cast who the other groups have far better chemistry, even Team Dark despite Shadow being a pseudo-protagonist himself at times.

That animation has been nothing but a curse.

Should've just waited until the game came out.

People critiquing the new animation.

Some people "disliking" the new animation.

And a well-liked Sonic composer using really terrible wording in response to that.

It was a pretty generalized statement about overly nitpicky fans who don't create anything themselves should accept the stuff that "brands" give them, in regards to the trailer, because it was free.

It's clear that it was just a heated response to the worst of those fans who don't really have tact in their critique.

It was a very general statement, but based on the wording it seemed to be pent up frustration for the undeniably Unpleasable Fanbase this franchise has, and the tendency to Accentuate the Negative, people acting like they know more than they do, as well as fans obliviously shitting on the hard work that people put in.

I saw the opening and the quote but missed the criticism. I don't really get what was worth criticizing in the opening, anyway.

In other news, I've done everything in the main game now, except for the Action Chain Challenges, and a lot of Ouranos Island's Memory Tokens. I'm saving Ouranos for last, and will finish the game again with my crown. After that, I'll finally write a very positive Steam review. I still have yet to finish the Cyberspace Rush and Battle Rush modes. I haven't started the former and stopped after the first island on the latter. Then, once all that's done, I'll do a New Game Plus. Not sure about Extreme difficulty or not for my first replay. I want to beat it that way at some point, but I also want to be overpowered. I've also been avoiding the spoilers for the next DLC wave. I'm hoping to be surprised.

The actual criticism is fair.

It's of a much lower quality than the Mania and Origin's animation.

—-

From what I understand it was trying to be much more ambitious with the way shots look and those fancy camera movements...but that cost of the actual animation and weaker drawings.

There was also some 3D usage and it lead to choppier animation overall.

Rouge is 17? I thought she was much older for some reason.

Rouge is 18...

Actually, Rouge is age: Young Adult/Legal Adult

Amy is age: Tween

Blaze is age: Teenager

Cream is age: Child

Marine is age: Child

Vanilla is age: Mother

Numbers don't exist anymore, specifically for this reason.

Every Sonic character's official age is always 2 or 3 years younger than you likely think they are.

Due to the series' use of independent child heroes and everyone being placed into uber serious dramatic plots.

None of the characters can consistently act the way I'd expect them to based on their age.

When you make characters act their age, you get that storyline from Archie where they sent the freedom fighters to school.

These guys live in a world where you can own a house or apartment as a small child, things are different.

...were they not aged down for that? Or was that just the cover art?

On a completely separate note, I'm not sure what going to school has to do with a character's actual behavior or personality.

School is a societal obligation, not some character trait that kids have.

Oh yeah, the Archie comic did have them go to school at some point.

Though wasn’t Amy aged up due to some magic ring?
