The Perfect Classic Sonic Comic | Sonic Speed Reading

[@SilverHyozanryu]

I really enjoy how Classic Amy's infatuation with Sonic is treated as alot more sweet and wholesome. Don't get me wrong I do like how Modern Amy can be really feisty and confident but I like how Classic is more like a genuine crush that she's embarrassed about, it's very natural.

@Sonic Same with Rush and 06, honestly. His utility in these games begins and ends with explaining stuff and delivering an object or two that another character could have found just as well themselves. It’s just that at least in these games, he wasn’t written so blatantly out of character that it drew negative attention.

[@Red_Ryry]

@@rainpooper7088 I mean to be fair they did learn from that with rush because he did more stuff in rush adventure. Say what you will about that game but at least he was building and designing things that actually helped and pushed things forward. When it comes to tails it really is mostly a matter of finding things for him to actually do, let him tinker or commit sabotage. Let him actually help. That’s what his character has always been for.

[@johhnyboy.6655]

@@baval5 i've seen SatAm, and greatly enjoyed it in middle school/early high school. Jaleel is fine for that world and that specific version of Sonic, but that sonic (to me) is a very very different flavor than game Sonic. I just can't see it working, especially with characters like GameTails, Classic Amy and Classic Eggman, versions of characters Jaleel Sonic never interacted with (to my knowledge anyway). in my mind, there just isnt chemistry there. In Eggman's case, both shows' interpretations of Eggman were retooled from the games to foil Jaleel's Sonic. So Vanilla Classic Eggman next to Jaleel, that just gonna be an underwhelming mashup Ian Flynn isnt my favorite writer atm, but I appreciate thst he writes Jaleel Sonic in a way where readers can "ignore" that voice if they want.

I personally feel that Classic Sonic should’ve been his own timeline rather than a whole universe. Makes more sense. Other than that I’m absolutely sold on this. I am surprised that Sega let Ian Flynn keep Bean and Bark’s characterization from the Archie Comics as mercenaries who get in the way of Sonic and friends considering that they’ve made lots of mandates as to not let the writers change the characters too much. Also even if unlikely, how would you feel if a Sonic Mania sequel were to have characters from SatAM appear!

[@charliekahn4205]

Bean and Bark haven't shown up since StF anyway. Although they and Fang did compete in the Fighters Megamix along with the car from Daytona 500.

I guess Sega can't tell the writers not to change a character too much if said character didn't really have much of a, well, _character_ to begin with.

[@brennocardoso334]

To me, Ian Flynn just fits perfectly as the current Sonic writer for IDW publishing. He knows how to write the characters in a way that not just complements their personalities but, like you've said throughout the video, maintains loyal to the source material, and brings back interpretations of themselves from other games. The world building, Original Characters and stories adaptations just feel vivid with him

[@pokeluis2002]

I absolutely love how the Heavy King is heavily inspired by the SATAM interpretation of Eggman, being a clone of the doctor himself, with all the high intellect and ruthlessness, but none of the naiveness or pettiness of the original Robotnik. If they continue to do these Classic Sonic spin-off comics, I hope that once they introduce the other robot Sonics (Silver and mecha), they all get some sort of unique trait that makes them stand out between the other robot clones. Especially mecha, If he’s as proud and merciless like in his SMBZ version, it could basically be like the 2nd coming of jesus

The 30th Anniversary comic's main story was the first piece of Sonic media in a long, long time that actually felt like Sonic to me. Fun, but not completely lacking in stakes. The characters felt like themselves again, the story felt right tonally, everything just felt right to me. It's not perfect, there were definitely little things here and there that felt a bit off to me, but all in all, this was easily the most fun I've had with a Sonic comic since... well ever, really. This is much more in line with what I want out of Sonic as a series. Not a pure comedy, dramatic epic, serious war story or even a depressing apocalypse scenario. Just a fun adventure story, one that knows when to be funny and when to be serious. It was a good time.

I agree 1000% with this video title.

Part of me still wishes they'd just bring in the classic characters into the modern cast so it could all be under one uniform universe, but Sega has a real knack for introducing new characters and not doing anything interesting with them after their debut game which sucks.

Interesting thing to note: What if "Seasons of Chaos" helps to explains why Eggman never revisits old plans? He builds Heavy King to be his servant, only for him to turn on Eggman.

Perhaps Eggman, after reused plans always turned on him/fail over and over, became paranoid and never returned to old plans to avoid the mistake made with Heavy King

Literally. This is what made Classic Sonic LOVED and REMEMBERED for me. It went back to the roots and reminded me who Sonic TRULY was. Same with Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Eggman. And the same reason why I wanted to see the other classic characters (Mighty, Ray, etc...) to show up in the Modern games as one entire timeline. It could literally be a happier world back in the day (as nostalgia is usually known to be like) and as Sonic and Eggman and the rest grew with the world and universe, the light, happy tone slowly faded into the background to allow room for the darker, serious, and epic/grandiose stories of Modern Sonic. There's so much potential....

I literally just got this book and I screamed like a little girl when I saw Metal Knuckles

I hope all of the stories are included in the new deluxe book! I’m super excited.

I love how they took SatAM Robotnik's character traits and put it in Heavy King, it works so well.

Personally I kinda hope all the classic characters who don't have modern counterparts stay classic exclusive the way there's modern exclusive characters. Also I love how Heavy king is basically SatAM Robotnik (though I hope they do stuff to make him stand out and not be generic evil for evil's sake like Zavok) and how they revived the old Robotropolis capital building with the old genesis makeover.

I cannot even imagne the joy on his face as he turned the page and saw metal knuckles

One of my favorite moments: HEAVY KING: "My Badnik forces will conquer the world. I will rule as its Metallic Overlord." [Metal Sonic looks expressionless yet inspired.] [Dr. Robotnik notices.] DR. ROBOTNIK: "Don't get any ideas! Get in there an stop him!"
