It's more that it's on tiktok. Aka a platform that would prolly get Banned in China (ironically) and the US both.

Growing up watching Tiny Toons, Pup named Scooby Doo and Tom & Jerry kids, I was slightly hopeful the franchise would've produced something within the same vein.

Instead, we got... A Tik Tok show. Doesn't look like they de-aged the cast, just turned them into some weird baby-chibi hybrid.

Disappointed? Yes. Not surprised? Also yes.

It's Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy...

De-aging them would've led to a pretty obvious result.

Thinking about it, this is literally the safest way to fill that void for Spin-Off Babies without actual babies, aimed at actual babies, SEGA can produce. If they want Sonic's popularity to grow around the world, boiling the simplicity down to this makes that easier.

Honestly, I'm not that excited for the new Sonic and Friends series, since it looks like it's geared towards a younger audience. But, if this series turns out to be good, then I might give it a try.

Someone noticed that in the tail-end of the Fast Friends Forever video, there's shots from cutscenes in Sonic Heroes.

Still probably means nothing, right? Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence?

It means these guys don't really have appearances in CG cutscenes post-Heroes. What, were they gonna use the shot of everyone running from Shadow's game?

It's to announce a surprise new sequel to Sonic Heroes. It will be called Sonic Villains, and each of the four teams will be comprised of different villains from across the Sonic franchise. And also Team Dark, because they technically qualify for both.

With Sonic and his friends deciding to go out on vacation, all of his nemeses come out of the woodwork to try and steal the Chaos Emeralds for themselves.

Hmm, what teams would there be?

  • Team Dark: Rouge, Shadow, Omega
  • The Deadly Six
  • The Babylon Rogues
  • The Hooligans: Fang, Bean, Bark, and possibly Trip (all four letter words that can be both nouns and verbs with different meanings, huh)
  • The Hard Boiled Heavies
  • Eggman's Kids/Clutch: Sage, Metal Sonic, Orbot, Cubot
    • Alternatively a team of the various metal versions of Sonic
  • Team Put on a Bus: Johnny (Captain Whisker is almost definitely dead), Infinite, the Shadow Androids outside of IDW comics
  • IDW mercenaries: Rough and Tumble, Mimic

And then of course Eggman, Nega, and THE END are out there, but not liable to make a real team of any sort anymore.

Humorous inclusion of Team Dark aside, there's actually a lot of villains and anti-heroes. I'm probably even forgetting some. Though unless Infinite comes back, only the Deadly Six could believably be a major villain in a major crisis that doesn't involve Eggman. Most of the others are either small-scale, or work for some version of Eggy.

Speaking of the teams idea, I had a neat idea once for a Sonic game where villains were a team-up of Eggman's most intelligent and dangerous creations: SAGE, Metal, Heavy King, etc.

With the gag that while Infinite is in the game and is a recurring boss, his whole bit in the story is that he really wants to join the evil team-up but they won't let him.

It's kinda weird how as far as the games go, the Classic games era introduced a ton of still-active (relative to their time period) antagonists, with them being retroactively added:

  • Classic: Eggman, Metal Sonic (multiple, but I'm just counting the main one), Wendy Witchcart and her gang, Fang, Bean, Bark, Heavy King (potentially the other heavies), Trip
  • Adventure: Shadow, Rouge, Omega
  • Boost: Nega, the Babylon Rogues, Johnny, Orbot, Cubot, the Deadly Six
  • Modern: Sage, THE END

I'd say if they're gonna bring back Starline as well, they might as well go with Sure and Kit and have it set before they broke free of his control to avoid/mitigate trauma related Unfortunate Implications

You can also make the case for Team Prime with Kit (Fly), Dread (Power) and either Rusty Rose or Chaos Sonic (Speed)

The idea of a a Sonic Villains game kinda slaps, actually.

I find it funny people are bring the Babylon Rogues up for this. They're not really evil even if they are jerks. They'd basically end up as the token good team when compared to everyone else.
