Netflix's Sonic Prime

By the by, I will have to keep an eye on the future character pages of Prime. The adaptational tropes get troublesome at times.

Okay, having seen the concept art myself this...actually looks pretty interesting. If the writing is good and the art style's appealing I could probably try watching this.

The pictures weren't meant to be released, someone branched the artist portfolio and leaked. The artist is in danger of losing his job.

So, were those photos supposed to be public in the first place?

Nope.

x2: Seeing as the original artist's specific page for the series is now a 404, it's a hard "yes, this leak was never supposed to happen."

Yikes.

Does anyone have an ideal number of seasons they want for this show? If so, what are they?

However many it takes to tell the complete story that the creators want to tell. No more and no less.

Kinda early to tell since we don't know if it will be good but I guess it's better to have more things than less of it. 65 episodes are usually enough for show to do all they need to but if it's good, I might want a season or two more.

It's a Netflix show, so it won't get more than two.

No, Netflix really won't let the show get past two seasons.

That's not necessarily true for animation. Camp Cretaceous is on its way to its fourth season. Castlevania got four seasons as well. She-Ra got five, I think? CV and She-Ra also got to end on their own terms, rather than being cancelled. And a sequel is now in the works for CV.

Also, one of the examples that article uses is Luke Cage and that's just misrepresentation right there. Disney blanket-cancelled most of its MCU shows (The various Netflix series and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) after launching Disney+ so they could bring it all in-house. IIRC only the Hulu stuff was spared and that's because Hulu is a sister service to Disney+.

Netflix has also let The Dragon Prince go until it finishes its story.

That only applies to live action shows.

Animation is way cheaper which is why they can get more seasons.

We really can't have new shows anymore without some kind of "leak" these days can we.

Probably not. But then, we're still in the middle of a pandemic and studios are still tight-lipped about virtually everything, so I can't really blame some people for trying to discover stuff they're not supposed to find out if only because they're just plain bored.

Long as none of the leakers go to Voltron lengths.

Tbf studios sometimes leak intentionally to drum up support and as free advertising.

Not saying its happening here but something to note.

The Voltron stuff was incredibly overblown, too. Someone snuck some photos during a visit to Studio MIR, but there was never any actual blackmail.

I'd say I want it to go from three to five seasons. Three cuz' that's the maximum we ever got (allegedly two given Sonic X's second season was more or less included in the first, plot-wise), five bc I'm salty on how Man of Action's last show's fifth season was neglected.

I don't care too much how it gets divided up, but I think 52 to 78 episodes would be a pretty solid run. Of course, how many episodes I'd like to see of this depends on how much I actually enjoy the final product.

Still, Netflix is really weird about their seasons, so at least they better not pull something that damages the pacing.

It really depends on the plot of the series and how good the series is. If they are telling a story that's meant to last two seasons, then let it be two seasons. If it's a story they are telling that's meant to last five seasons, then let it be five seasons.

So it's confirmed that Ian Flynn, writer of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, is consulting on Sonic Prime. What do you think about this?

I think things are gonna be alright.
