Here's some food for thought about Black Doom's survival—you think the Time Eater brought him back to life, or retconned his 'death' in Shadow?

I think the Time Eater took out of time before his death and the Time Eater's defeat by the two Sonics will cause Black Doom to return to his original time.

I don't think Sonic team likes ideas they did not originate, which means ideas that are exclusive to purely Western media (the DIC shows, Archie by extension, Chronicles by plagiarism) and X and the OVA by coincidence.

Didn't Shade recently get an acknowledgement on a website or something?

[up]Sonic Chronicles was in the Encyclo-speed-ia. Shade was shown with the alien species from that game. Only the content that Sega owns appeared in that book. Sonic Pokect Adventure had some copyright issues to it, so it was one of the games not included in it.

Question:

Favorite “slow ballad” credits theme in the series? (Referring to the slow songs that play after the Final Boss has been beaten from Shadow to Frontiers, so sadly Open Your Heart, Live and Learn, Sonic Heroes, Knight of the Wind, and character themes don’t count

My top 5:

  • 1. Live Life (Black Knight)
  • 2. Dear Father (Frontiers)
  • 3. Dear My Friend (Unleashed)
  • 4. Never Turn Back (Shadow)
  • 5. My Destiny (‘06)

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

1: Endless Possibilities

2: Knight of the Wind

3: Fist Bump

4: I'm Here Revisited

5: Ungravitify

Also, Pariah talked about the comics. All I'm gonna say is, don't expect him to sing praise about Frontiers' story when he gets to it.

I don't expect him to be any positive in the near future. It's how the fandom rolls, and he is a fan.

Barring Geek Critique, Somecallmejohnny (plus SGB/BSC), Clement, and Johnny Vector, I don’t engage with a lot of Sonic fans on You Tube.

Most of them tend to be kinda toxic and hold a great disdain for the era that came after their childhood era.

Game Apologist built his entire channel off of seeing the positive in underappreciated parts of the franchise.

Admittedly, some of his last couple of videos have been more negative out of disappointment with missed potential in the Knuckles show not focusing on Knuckles and the slow pacing of the recent part of IDW comics, but still, I wouldn't say toxic.

I'm skimming that video because I don't see a part where he's explicitly talking about Frontiers, but a lot of his complaints appear to be "the IDW comics aren't using the characterizations that the games have, so that instantly makes what the comics are doing bad."

The only point I agreed with was the first story arc being bland.

Yeah, the first arc of IDW was So Okay, It's Average, feeling like a sort of retread of Sonic Heroes, but the Metal Virus arc, even with its Arc Fatigue, gave it a much needed jolt.

The comics are good. They're in a kind of lull right now, but thats mostly just because we aren't in the middle of a big story arc.
