Tails' argument with Sonic after he breaks his dad out of jail is honestly super good. This unbridled frustration with Sonic that had been rising for over 20 issues, finally coming to a head. Tails letting everything erupt, phuaically taking that anger out on Sonic, and Sonic taking the time to realize that while he never meant to hurt his little bro with what he did, that doesnt excuse the fact that he did.

I remember reading the Sonic-Tails fight like it was yesterday. And then I saw them "fight" in Lost World and oh the disappointment.

[@devinhamb6586]

You know what's ironic, when Tails pinned down Sonic to let his parents escape, Rosemary wants to go back for him. But Amadeus told her not to because their son has been fighting with the freedom fighters against Eggman and other villains while they were in space, which shows the amount of faith he has in his son. Basically Amadeus, a man who hasn't seen his son for years, treated him as equal, before Sonic did despite Tails being with him longer.

[@otamanvasyl9949]

@devinhamb6586 Amadeus is a general that fought in the Great War. I believe that he has the way to see how good of fighter/mature Tails really is. Also, unlike Sonic, he never saw Tails as a "Kid". (He was robotisazed on the day of Tails' birth. Therefore only saw his as young man who spent majority of his time fighting.)

[@tntsonic7482]

I find Archie Tails very interesting, especially in the way that we litterally saw him gradually grow up over the courses of more than 200 issues of comics. Plus he has some batshit insane lore. Great job as always!!!

Crazy supersonic, as well as his reflection zone counterpart, can actually just rip chaos energy out of anything when they utilize a green mist.

[@Your7T7]

@@Browhatisyoudoing Actually, Fleetway Super Sonic is stronger than God Robotnik. His feats weren't that good, but that's because we only saw feats from Super Sonic WITHOUT the full power of the True Chaos Emeralds. Right at the very end of the comic, Fleetway Super Sonic absorbs the True Chaos Emeralds, and so gains all of the same powers God Robotnik wielded. To further hammer this point home, the Fleetway Comic's writers outright state that Super Sonic is the strongest antagonist in the series, confirming that yes, he was indeed top 1 after that very brief stint at the end. Though that just makes it all the more interesting to imagine what he'd be like if Sonic got stressed again and transformed... like, I can hardly imagine a Low Multi Super Sonic running around and causing infinitely more havoc than God Robotnik ever did.

House of Cards gets better the more of the comic you've binged up to that point. If the last fourteen issues of the Penders era are still fresh in your memory, House of Cards can go so far as to reframe all of their horribleness into the low point of a character arc it then provides the triumphant resolution to.

[@verymelonman12]

Damn Archie Sonic was probably the best incarnation of all the game cast. Yeah there were downs, but the ups from later on made those downs worth it.

[@TheBuckweat33]

This. The comic is unique in that the inconsistencies during the early era created the depth of character in the later ones. By taking elements generated by writers handing the characters in a loosey-goosey fashion, the Flynn era staff was able to create *believable* characterization unlike any Sonic the Hedgehog canon, or even other works of fiction. Muddled beginnings made for deeply rich and satisfying endings, and it’s something that people underrate. Because Tails was inconsistent at the beginning, later writers could weave such contradictions into a tapestry of personality that created an extremely deep character study into Tails. Everyone is inconsistent and has different, often juxtaposed, aspects of their personalities that make us real and unique. The inconsistency turned harmony of Archie Sonic is what makes the narrative and its characters truly special because it reflects our own unique personalities.

[@bowserbreaker2515]

@@TheBuckweat33 That perfectly describes why I love this comic. By being so inconsistent and crazy, it feels so satisfying and strangely real once you see the great stories it told.

I don't exactly have a favorite Sonic character, but I do have a favorite relationship: Sonic and Tail as brothers. Every entry into the franchise gets a pass or fail from me based on how well this relationship is represented. Archie had me worried at times, but came out shining strong!

[@CooperDooper38]

Having never read the comics, but following the games and feeling like I have a good idea of what his game self should be like if it were written well, I see a lot of differences here, especially in his early characterization, that are intriguing. I figure if his game self was written well, and the character writing was a focus from the beginning, he would've started off as a very nervous sidekick. Like, he sticks close to Sonic not just to help him, but because he's afraid of being forced to fight on his own, which would lead into the Adventure arc nicely, and that arc would also begin a long running arc of him growing from just "I can handle some things on my own" all the way to the point where Sonic and him feel like equals. I'd love to see him grow to the point where he's more like current Archie Tails, for sure. I also feel like they really tried and missed the mark of having the "Sonic and Tails fight, but end up closer than before" thing in Lost World. The writing was already not fantastic, but then you're gonna tell me that you're trying to have the takeaway from the fight be "Sonic needs to trust that he and Tails can handle things together" and then you're going to have the cutscene before the final boss show Tails decked out in dangerous weaponry, and Sonic is just gonna say "I'll handle this" and Tails plays no role in the final boss fight? SUCH a missed opportunity for a Zelda-eque collaborative boss battle to reinforce the themes of cooperation. Also, seeing Tails' parents for the first time and realizing they kinda look like my character is wild. Cooper really could be like, a parallel universe version of his dad lol

[@KineticAquadex]

While closer to the game version of Tails in background, there's a really great mini-arc for post-reboot Tails in the Champions tournament arc that re-iterates several of your points here, as you may know. After being knocked out in the first round by Honey, he's understandably upset at having his pride wounded, but while watching a later fight Sonic helps to cheer him up by reminding him how much of an invaluable teammate Tails is to him. Then, later, Tails is able to get the jump on an escaping Metal Sonic before he gets away with a Chaos Emerald where no one else is able, and times it for when the venue's defenses come back online. It's great seeing Tails not being judged for being a little petty/moping and later redeeming himself in his own eyes, and the way Sonic declares him the winner is just the cherry on top.

The IDW run Tails is fantastic by the way. He's clever, confident, he's skilled and able to physically throw down while still being an intelligent fighter (one scene he calculates the trajectory of a thrown gas bomb on the fly and then catches and tosses it back with his tails). And is consistently the first one Sonic turns too whenever he gets in over his head. Also he's an unrepentant smartass and pragmatist that keeps Sonic grounded with his level headed analysis of everything.

[@dantefredul6326]

@@hoobadoobamaster8551 As awesome as all that sounds, those things (outside of characterization obviously - "characterized" is a very broad term lmao) don't really have an impact on the quality of a character. Example - Sonic from the 2022 movie matures from the 1st movie, has plenty of characterization, and is easily on the stronger side of the Sonics (partly due to the chaos emeralds taking the Sonic Adventure incantation too seriously) - but how many people would say he's better than Sonic CD's Sonic? Or the OVA's? Or any of the Adventure games? Obviously he develops more, but sometimes, believe it or not, development does not define a quality character. Sure, it can define Tails if you want it to. In Archie he was always going to develop as long as the publication ran long enough - in a sense, developing was his purpose. But in media like the games, it isn't the case.

Meanwhile canon tails: "I gotta believe in myself... OH GOD SONIC HELP ME PLEASE"

[@JBoehmGames]

I feel like a lot of folks forget that despite all his tech and book smarts, Tails is still just a pre-teen kid, and lessons don't always stick immediately with them. It takes repetition and re-assertion for certain lessons to be learned permanently, especially ones that shape one's personality. So, even when considering the context of the games and Tails learning his self-worth in Sonic Adventure, he still knows deep down he has Sonic to rely upon should worse come to worst--you even get a bit of a glimpse of it in his death quotes in SA2, calling out Sonic's name. And that reliance became the status quo for him in most of the future titles when he spends most of the games afterwards playing a support role to Sonic rather than going on his own adventures to grow himself, so by the time of Sonic Lost World, Tails has his boosted confidence, but he still idolizes Sonic and seeks his approval, which is what leads to their feud in that game. And when Sonic Forces rolls around, watching Sonic lose and be presumed dead shortly after, it breaks him pretty badly and sends him back to his base instinct of cowering for Sonic's protection. It's not until Frontiers that Tails starts to realize that he needs to get away from Sonic in order for him to grow as a person, and his high intelligence starts meshing with his emotions a bit better as he gets older. Granted the characters will never actually properly age in canon, but you can see that his past experiences and seeing the Koco of the past go through similar hardships causes him to look inwards, reflect, and internalize a lot of stuff that's happened over the years. TL;DR: Just because you have a big life lesson epiphany doesn't mean you're going to change overnight. Making those changes takes work, which Tails doesn't really realize until Frontiers. And it's a similar story in the comics, where Tails repeatedly makes similar mistakes and it's not until much later that he begins to realize he needs to start growing up and taking charge for himself.
