a missed opportunity was to have echidnaopolis fall into fascism genuinely. rather than have it be a conspracy by the dakr legion, instead just...have nazi echidnas taking power, tired of sharing space with their long time enemies the dingos, who exist to show how wrong echidnapolis' hypocricies and war crime are, to show how even knuckles new home has rotten people living in it. but no, can't do anything to show the people of echidnapolis can have bad people among them. no just make the dark legion the bad guys for no reason. Just blame it all on the dark legion. I agree, the dark legion SHOULD have a more varied portrayal.

One more video before bed:

Love TTYD but the original will always be superior to me. Love the story, the partners, and the boss battles better. SO GOOD. :) truly hope it has a remaster as well.

don't worry Mammoth Mogul, I think you're cool

My main takeaway: Robotnik spends his entire life building world dominating robot armies because he's too lazy to swing an axe

WOW, just WOW. I’ve never seen final space but I have heard of it via shorts and clips on KZbin but I never seem to be interested enough in the show but I did think it was really good. However hearing these news I’m just… disgusted at the state of the world. That such a wonderful show was denied a second chance, denied a legacy, even denied being remembered, it disgusts me that shows, no, ART like infinity train, coyote vs acme, the owl house, and so many more wonderful things are being deleted and forgotten all in the name of greed. Your right Lowart, these companies, studios, and streaming platforms DESERVE to die, this world knows nothing of art. This video is like everything I wanted to say. Watching this video is like looking at a mirror

Never knew that people hated the level design. I always thought that most of the zones were unique.

6:07 I hate the Yankees, LFGM

The thumbnail is straight up blasphemy, you better repent

did u change the thumbnail to have silvers aura or am I crazy

Lowart NOOOO DONT ABBREVIATE SONIC ADVENTURE 2 AS SA2 NOOOOOOOOO

I’m so weird bc I had fun with this game!

I was pretty young when I watched final space and I loved it despite its issues. I was so mad when it was canceled. I hate when shows get canceled. Final space was amazing. So many shows I have watched are getting/have been canceled. Final space, Good omens. Stuff like this is just depressing.

Seriously? Where can I read and find the Sonic Archie comics online for free please

wow either they totally forgot about the petrified overlanders or they didn't think about sonic forgetting about them when trying to kill eggman would look...kinda bad. And they likely did it jsut so they could stop the overlanders from being such a THING in the story. course they could have always retconned it. Sonic knows some magic people, maybe he could have called in a favour, teleport them to a save spot. Or maybe not, because why should Sonic care? it's not like he's a good persona nd it's not like one of them was a dear friend of his.

I was rewatching this while working on something else; I inititally watched through this in its segmented form because I wanted to explain to a friend what Archie Sonic is like because it's uh. IT'S REALLY SOMETHING. But watching the breakdown of the comic leading up to 125 (I came in on... is it 98? the one with the really sick Spaz art of Sonic cosplaying as Strider) and your opening remarks about how you were more focused on the gameplay reminded me of something that I want to share. (BIG BLOCKS OF TEXT BELOW THE READMORE) As a kid, while I was initially fascinated with Sonic due to his atypical-for-the-time attitude and the fast gameplay (my cousin introduced me to Sonic 1 on the Megadrive when I was 4), when I returned to the game through the PC port of Sonic 3 & Knuckles (the "Sonic & Knuckles Collection", which came with a whole heap of music from other Sonic games, as well as a huge folder of artwork), something that really stood out to me was that Angel Island felt like a real place (despite the gamified nature of it). Knuckles getting around through shortcuts only he knew about (which was true even when playing as him), the mechanisms hidden in the environment, and the way that even game mechanics were justified in the aesthetic - for example, the flipper platforms in Angel Island Zone look like they were log constructions that someone actually made - all gave me the impression that there was an actual world there, and that there ONCE was a civilization here, but no more. Sonic Adventure, in contrast to Mario 64, really took this idea and ran with it: Mario 64 explicitly sets its levels as pieces of fantasy, in pictures, but Sonic Adventure wanted you to believe that there was a whole world that Sonic existed in, even if you didn't see all of it. For me, this silent worldbuilding - and it often *was* silent, because of the expense of voicework or just the inability to include it in 2D games beyond bitcrushed soundbytes - is what set Sonic apart from its competition and is what kept me a Sonic fan even into the dark days of post-SA2. Archie Sonic, once it began to settle on its "slice of life in the apocalypse" style, really scratched that itch for me, and I remember when I first picked up that comic and read it that I was really excited to learn that it wasn't just Sonic and Tails out here taking names - they had a whole community that they were part of, and that community was also part of the action, even if they were only playing a supporting role. (I never saw SatAM so the pre-existing ideas from it were entirely foreign to me, and I initially thought they were an Archie creation... oops.) Even after the first of the big resets, when Ian Flynn completely took over (and may Flynn's god reward him in his heaven for his deeds), there was still very much that sense of an ensemble cast, even if that cast was limited. Unfortunately, SEGA really messed it up by demanding a second reset and then just as *that one* was finding its feet after it was forced to do an awful Sonic Unleashed adaption, they canned it (at least IDW picked it up along with Flynn's staff, by the look of it). IDW is a good successor, but it hasn't yet reached a point where it can really deliver an "everyone is here" type event like 125 did, and seeing ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE work together was genuinely amazing. Unrelated to the main point, but since the era of Archie Sonic I'm most familiar with is that kind of 'accidental(?) black comedy' period, I think at the time I would have been... twelve, thirteen? At that point it was very difficult for me to find humor that I actually enjoyed, because what was being flagged as 'mature comedy' was South Park and The Simpsons (which by then had begun the great downhillening), and comedy aimed at children wasn't exactly much better, so Archie's black comedy found an audience in me, at least, and I thought it was hilarious.

it was really such a good idea to take such a divisive character like geoffrey st john, an egotistical, arrogant, self righteous asshole who acts like he knows better than everyone else and is oh so much better at being a freedom fighter than everyone else and thinks everyone should jsut shut up and listen to him...well, why not jsut make him an out and out villain? one who beleives he's doing the best thing for everyone of course, one whose arrogance allows him to be mislead by an obvious villain and who cannot comprehend he might have done something stupid or even worse something that would hurt everyone, but still ultimately a villain in his own right. aslo that shot of him in Endgame looking down after he's given (rather rushed and out of nowhere) reason to beleive sonic's innocence? that doesn't read as remorse to me. That looks more like disappointment, like he was given reason to be justified in disliking sonic and get rid of his rival once and for all, but now he's in the wrong, he's the BAD GUY, and that makes him unhappy. Because he doesn't WANT sonic to be innocent, to be the hero. But that's jsut me reading into things XP

Scourge is like that one meme that's like "I heard you like bad boys. Well, not to brag, but I'm literally bad at everything." Except he won't actually admit that... yeah he kinda sucks. It's funny but really sad to see at the same time.

its so funny that Who, of all characters, is brought back in a big way near the end of the comic

Yo, lovely video! I grew up with Balloonshop too and Olan has been super inspirational to me. Just wanted to say that Joss Pursley is trans and uses a different name now. I'm sure this wasn't a purposeful oversight on your part, but I think the deadnaming and misgendering here should be addressed somehow (description or something).

I don't like the Attack on titan ending because to many plotholes and contradictions in the end, to many Flanderisation on the charakters and ignoring or giving not enough charakter development and consequenses. Another thing to much Red hearings. One thing about

Ngl, but i remember buying the switch twice with 2 models the switch lite, and the switch oled. I got bored of both systems except my experience with the switch oled has been getting worse, I've now been subscribed to a cloud pc gaming service and I'm now looking to get a real pc hybrid console for christmas. To me, nintendo is such a dissapointing company, now don't get me wrong, nintendo makes great games it's just they're committed to making bad decisions in terms of being a business

One of the craziest moments of my life was meeting Olan in person at his soda shop. He wasn't planning on being there, and it was basically right at closing. He is extremely introverted, which was surprising. But he gave us free t-shirts just because we said we loved his videos!

I think a lot of 2003's flaws can be summed up in one big issue 2003 instead of building up and paying off plot points in a satisfactory manner, ops for evoking kneejerk emotional reactions from the viewer. Hence the Terminator, Rose's entire plot, Ed's constant meandering, Mustang attacking Bradley's home.

Great video bro, this is crazy to see all of this behind the scenes craziness.

Something people often miss with the 2003 adaptation is that most, if not 'all' of the "filler" episodes serve one very, very important purpose. They setve to give Ed and Al 'life experience', these characters were merely children when we first met them. They had to grow up as the story went on, and the showrunners nailed it, it's a long journey before we reach the final episode, and every element counts towards it.

The worst part of people saying shit like "At least its not 06!" Is the incredible irony of the fact that 06's level design is actually really fun, its just everything else causing problems. Forces is just terribly designed from a map/gameplay perspective AND its story is offensively bad. But at *least* it isnt Colors

3:48:52 maybe he forgot that he can just force anyone to open the gate like he did with Mustang 🤷🏼‍♂️

Fuck capitalism

The levek design is good like looks at forces reimagined, like go play it. Well if longer.

6:50:03 “TTFN” - it’s short for “ta-ta for now”

Bro I’m 32 and I remember watching this show religious as a kid. I honestly had to come pay my respects to such an epic time of my childhood! 90s baby’ show

The ending single-handedly made the story’s message change from: “the cycle of hate is a terrible terrible thing that will eventually destroy us all” to “uh…fascism is bad but only sometimes”

Sonic frontiers and generation remaster ty for coming! I thought sonic games were dead after forces 😂 next I want unleashed remaster.

J'imagine que tu ne feras une vidéo de ce genre là pour tails?

I never really read the stories with Silver in Archie Sonic because i didnt really care too much but after seeing this description on him, now im gonna read it! Also its good to see that Scourge came back for another AD, what a guy.

ultimately, Eren being a genocidal villain who was originally the hero of the story is far more compelling than having it be he was the hero but only pretended to be evil even though he still did a genocide which somehow makes him the hero even though he murdered a lot of people. Like seriously, trying to make genocide a HEROIC ACTION is KINDA FUCKED UP

I’ve been falling asleep to this video for days, it is truly a masterpiece

I love your voice it’s so calm !!! Nice video btw

I really love how finitevus came out of nowhere to become a really compelling archenemy to knuckles, like how enerjak and the dark legion was SUPPOSED to be but never really committed to beign that compelling as archfoes. Finitevus, regardless of his motives, acts as knuckles' dark mirror. While Knuckles has a deep respect and love for echidna culture and society because he never really looked too deep into it or its flaws, Finitevus DESPISES it. After all, were it not for echidnaopolis he wouldn't have been transformed, let alone marked for death by them because he was different. Knuckles respects the past but finitevus cares only for change and progress, regardless of what sacrifices need be made for it. They both have a deep love of the more magical side of echidna lore, but finitevus twists it, caring only for how it can be used to destroy, to hurt. and most importantly, knuckles doesn't hold a grudge to his people despite how many times members of it have harmed him and others, while finitevus seems to be driven partial from said grudge. the fact they are mirrors of each is called out blatantly but also shown later on when they fight each other and give their own versions of a chant, with finitevus' version using words that are direct opposites to ones knuckles uses.

6:55 they also forgot Gwens stockings xD

The people who actively shot a project like this in the foot should not have jobs.

What bothers me about Ashes turn and Foxes death isn't that it happened or that it's what caused here to change sides, it's the fact that none of the characters ever bothered to point out that Gary had literally no control over that situation, including Gary himself. Hell Bolo actively makes it worse.

im still hoping for the Lions blaze gets picked up

niiiice vid!!!

I think it's brilliant about the first episode the first couple episodes and the first season in general unlike the Sopranos where you thrown into this character that already is in the life of crime they've been doing it they have their tenure they've been a seasoned criminal. Breaking bad first season it's Walter White a schoolteacher that probably could've amounted to huge things in life but cut short because he sold the company gray matter which we find out later so you see a man is not the most successful every day person like you and me could be your father and he has a disabled son baby on the way that was unexpected living a low class income you can slowly see the innocence wiping off more predominantly in the episode where he kills crazy eight and his cousin the scene with the bike lock choking him to death saying "I'm sorry I'm sorry" crying that whole season you can see a man changing not for the good and his mind it's for the good for his family but reality is for the worst that's what makes it so brilliant you can relate to Walt maybe he like your dad your family maybe he's even you and you feel like if I joined the gang or was in crime maybe my life would be better NO it's a a dirty facade!

I feel like the big reason people disregard Unwiished is the Werehog Sure it has good boost levels but there is only one boost level compared to the 3 to 5 Werehog levels per country The werehog sucks in Wii and you'll be spending the majority of the game in night stages)

Talking about Balloon Shop unlocked a core memory of mine. Me and my friends would quote the "I'm enjoying a treat, Derrick!" line all the time.

I heard about the manga's betrayal after finshing the anime and have never been so happy to get spoiled before picking up a manga. I just can't fathom to this day why the author made this choice, it ruined this wholesome story entirely :c

ALTERED CARBON another amazing property that was perverted and thrown in the trash before it could be fully realized and brought back to quality it started out with
