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)
New variants are coming to Sonic Forces Mobile!]]
It warms my heart to see elements from the Sonic Channel website get incorporated into stuff that isn't Japan!
Okay, so what are your top 5 favorite main themes in the games?
Here’s my list:
- 1. Knight of the Wind (Black Knight)
- 2. Open Your Heart (Adventure)
- 3. Un-Gravitify (Zero Gravity)
- 4. Live and Learn (Adventure 2)
- 5. I Am…All of Me (Shadow)
Honorable Mentions: Sonic Heroes, His World, Endless Possibilities

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!- Live and Learn (Adventure 2)
- I Am... All of Me (Shadow)
- Endless Possibilities (Unleashed)
- Open Your Heart (Adventure)
- Un-Gravitify (Zero Gravity)
I decided to rank the top 5 ending songs that aren't also the main theme while I was at it.
- Live Life (Black Knight)
- I'm with you (Frontiers)
- Never Turn Back (Shadow)
- One Way Dream (Frontiers)
- Number One (Sonic R)
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.

No rain could douse the flames that burn within me!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.
AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!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.
"That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another."

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?
The Protomen enhanced my life.
