Yeah, and outside of Metal Sonic IDW Sonic doesn't really try to change anyone, he just makes it clear to them that they can if they want......and even then only if they keep insisting for him to say itH didn't do anything there, Silver came around on his own and he was like "cool"
Sonic is ok with people changing their ways despite all the trouble they caused him, but he won't put the effort to change them, that's done by other characters or they come to that conclusion themselves.
No one said they shouldn't have dialogue tho?That does not mean they should have no dialogues
He makes It soundNo one said they shouldn't have dialogue tho?
Tch, yeah right! No way I'd have the balls to project my personality as strong as I do if I were!Shake exposing himself as an introvert confirmed?
One of the best IDW issues is a Metal Sonic one without dialogue.That does not mean they should have no dialogues
Are you referring to the Reflections one shot? Because I agree with you, it's not only one of the best issues in the IDW Sonic run but also one of my favorite pieces of media involving Metal Sonic.One of the best IDW issues is a Metal Sonic one without dialogue.
Heavy, heavy agree. It's kind of fitting, and ironic, that the most notable Sonic duplicates have received storylines (an unfortunately small snippet in Metal's case) that delve the farthest into the psyche of a machine and questioning personhood. It's why I'm always singing Scrapnik Island's high praises.Are you referring to the Reflections one shot? Because I agree with you, it's not only one of the best issues in the IDW Sonic run but also one of my favorite pieces of media involving Metal Sonic.
T'was raw. Honestly, I'd like to see Metal Sonic get his own 4-issue miniseries that carries the weight Reflections did.Especially when the comic gives off the vibe that Metal deals with existential dread due to both his inability to fulfill his purpose of ending Sonic, and the realization that he isn't the real Sonic after all.
Yes. You said it well.Are you referring to the Reflections one shot? Because I agree with you, it's not only one of the best issues in the IDW Sonic run but also one of my favorite pieces of media involving Metal Sonic.
I've said this a very long time ago, but what makes that comic so special to me is it's likely the closest we've ever gotten to getting a deeper look into Metal's psychology and how it ironically feels despite being nothing more than a machine. Especially when the comic gives off the vibe that Metal deals with existential dread due to both his inability to fulfill his purpose of ending Sonic, and the realization that he isn't the real Sonic after all.
What I want, partially, is something I don't think we'll ever get. SEGA wants Sonic to be as all-ages and marketable as possible, but, I want the writers and artists to have more freedom with tone, direction, and content within. Those can't exist with what it feels like SEGA wants, so. I also want Sonic to stop being treated as if reality literally is orbiting around him, but, that is a franchise-wide issue, for me. Sonic always must be important, can never be wrong, and must always come out on top no matter what.This has been in my mind for a bit.
Sonic Question Time: We all know IDW isn't exactly known for its riveting and engaging arcs (even if several do fit the bill). I'm sure we've all been exasperated at least once with the book, so I ask; What direction would you like to see the IDW Comics go in? (This can be in terms of the story, the overall tone, characters you'd lile to see become important, etc.)
Personally, I'd like the IDW Comics have an all-out-war sort of arc that bands together all the built up heroes and villains across the previous issues. The Scrapniks, Clean Sweep Inc. (ugh), Surge & Kit, etc. Something that ties everything together in a neat little bow before blasting the door open for more creative arcs down the line.
Ai generative Anythings would be better off ceasing to exist, truly.Now if AI gets smart enough, someone Will make metal Sonic
In fairness, the last tidbit is partially cuz of his protagonist syndrome but I agree on the two other points. The Annuals and Anniversary Specials have been better at giving others the limelight, Tails' 30th in particular since Sonic's arrogance actively f*cked him up. Never being wrong is more of an IDW-centric issue, though, despite their attempts to cast doubt on it narratively.What I want, partially, is something I don't think we'll ever get.

That's boring as hell, though, for me, to be truthful.
His simple appreciation for life is certainly an admirable quality.Part of why I like Sonic, for what I feel him to be, is that I feel he sincerely cares for individuality. He cares for life, and existing. He loves that things are real, really. But I like that he can be a jerk, and can feel so sure and confident in his beliefs that he can maybe sort of tunnel vision himself.

I like to think he was a bit more constantly rude when he was younger, but, he's tried to mellow out a bit. Partially for Tails's sake, but, yeah. I want these characters to be able to change, both positively and negatively, to have permanent scars upon their memories, for things to happen that are bad ( and aren't wished away with the real superpower of teamwork ). I legit want Eggman to take advantage of, like, a housing crisis to make Eggmanland. I want him to use the faults of the money-focused world to his advantage whilst Sonic aspires for and lives for the positives of existing. Those two things inherently already clash in our world, and I feel it works perfectly for these two characters. ( Plus, it's not even morally-gray. Sonic's just right, and Eggman's just wrong, so you wouldn't even need to change their representitive dynamic. )
But, no, i guess ( its fine)

Yeah, that can be put in the general request thread.
Burning Blaze finally got an official render after about 19 years later (From Sonic Forces: Speed Battle / Sonic Dash), shouldn't we be replacing it with the current render?
I just noticed how wierd it is that Blaze's hair is only on fire starting from her ponytail.the hair on the side of her head should be that way too, but I guess they didn't know how to make that look good?

Go to the All-Purpose Request Thread and ask for Blaze's profile to be unlocked to add the imageI think i posted in the wrong thread. i went to the image requests thread
I do extremely enjoy Worlds Collide, and Worlds Unite is really cool, too. But, I don't enjoy the rest of Archie Sonic, really. Archie Megaman is lovely, though, I feel.I think you would like the Archie Comics.
Rereading through Archie is often a slog ngl, I've had a Rotor profile in the works but man... It just drags on a LOT sometimes.I do extremely enjoy Worlds Collide, and Worlds Unite is really cool, too. But, I don't enjoy the rest of Archie Sonic, really. Archie Megaman is lovely, though, I feel.
Even 06's storyline had time-space warping elements.Damn,how couId someone draw such an incorrect conclusion when there's half a dozen examples of warping in SA2 alone? Most of which are crucial moments to the plot.
How much of this is Ian saying "this is how this canonically works", compared to "for what I know, this is how I think it works"? Additionally, how much of this is "SEGA created and has legal license over the character and worlds of Sonic The Hedgehog", though?Ian being flat out incorrect (again). He said Chaos Control doesn't "warp" anything,"you just move while time is stopped". I didn't know the Ark & Black Comet just willingly scooted out of the way suddenly because the clock was frozen. He also said Chaos Emeralds can't dimension hop(Chaotic Inferno Zone & Cyber Space say hi).
His "WoG" really is one of if not THE most useless.
Blaze flew outside of space-time, immeasurable speed ‘06 base characters.It doesn’t matter, he's objectively wrong if that's what he said.
"That's not his speed! He's using the Chaos Emerald to warp."He said Chaos Control doesn't "warp" anything,"you just move while time is stopped".
Get bro OUT of the kitchen.His "WoG" really is one of if not THE most useless.
Get bro OUT of the kitchen.
"That's not his speed! He's using the Chaos Emerald to warp."
Also... Lol
Get bro OUT of the kitchen.
It matters if we're trying/wanting to paint a target on someone. We can't just see that Sonic has blue fur and go "wow, another ian mistake", and then claim he invented the color blue.It doesn’t matter, he's objectively wrong if that's what he said.
i mean but he is also the one who would put most of this in a story.The context of this statement also matters. Is is really "word of god"? Is it simply because he said it? He isn't Scarlet Witch, his words don't will reality's shape. Him expressing his thoughts does not mean he's saying "Sonic told me himself that it wasn't speed but the Chaos Emerald".
ok why he does not believe in nullspace being infinite?( This comment is replying to Alexander. I didn't see your message when sending this, I'm sorry, Axiom Virgo. )
And all of that would need to be checked over and approved by SEGA. And, also, I would disagree. Ian has expressed that he does not believe Null Space is infinite in size, but he did write it as being such in the Encyclo-Speedia. Even if Ian believes a specific thing, that does not mean he will write it into canon.
