Well shit, I guess I misunderstood something at some point in the show. I thought that combining all the prism shards together is what would bring the original world back from the dead since these alternate worlds are just the shards of the original world. Piecing the shards together meant piecing the alternate worlds together; combining all the shards would bring back the original world, but at the price of all the shatter worlds cause once the shards are fused together, the alternate worlds will be fused together and cease to be. Sonic’s world would be back, but all the shatter worlds would be gone. I thought the reason Nine was so mad at Sonic’s plan to combine the shards together was because Nine realized that if Sonic brought back the original Tails, Nine (and all the other Tailses) would cease to exist. And that’s why Nine kept insisting that he is real, he’s a real living person and he doesn’t want to be erased. I thought that Nine wanted to create a new world and stop Sonic from bringing back the old world because bringing back the old world means getting erased. It looked like Sonic would be caught in a moral dilemma where he would have to make a hard decision: should he let his home world and everyone he knew and loved stay deceased so that the shatter worlds and all their peoples can continue to exist, or should he play god and resurrect his home world, but at the price of erasing all the shatter worlds and everyone in them? But I guess that’s not what was going on. Guess it was stupid thinking this show would have the balls to seriously challenge its protagonist and have a ending that isn’t a perfect happily ever after.

[@2ndspringtube708]

I do like the show ,but I thought the same as you at season 1 and I agree

[@the-silly]

Dude, this is crazy, I had the exact same thought when the show began! It seemed like the most logical way to explain the whole Shatterspace and Paradox Prism situation. I compared it to the way they figured out how to beat the robots in the Grim -- but in this case, bring back the "Alphas" (in this case, the original crew like Tails, Amy, Knuckles, and Rougue) -- erase the variants (Nine, Rebel, Knucks, etc.) and basically make them cease to exist. I was hoping for that to happen because I wished for the show to redeem itself because I wasn't really into it at first. There's also the matter of Nine himself. He was such a compelling character at first for me. The idea of a Tails who was never saved by Sonic and was instead tormented for years only to develop issues when it comes to trusting others and having to fend for himself sounded like such a good idea! But I could tell it was going to go to waste when they made him a twist villain, because as you said, god forbid a kids show has the balls to give the heroes a challenge and have a compelling story that shows that not every tale will end in a happy ending.

[@E-6481]

Super dissappointed they didn't bring the chaos emeralds in for the final battle. Like, we saw Shadow drop the green one at the beginning, so I thought they were setting up that the other emeralds were still around and were eventually going to be collected. Instead, they just... never go back for it? And they barely mention it like maybe 3 times after that? IDK, I think an emerald hunt would've been a better use of time than wasting *3 damn episodes* on the final battle.

This season really gives off the vibe that they had no idea how to end the show. So they just have the characters endlessly fighting the same robots over and over until they just don’t and the show just stops.

[@aaronjohnson4404]

I think the problem with the finale is that they dragged it. Literally the last four episodes feel like the same, with Sonic fighting Nine, and everyone fighting robots over and over again. It just felt like a long loop. I also feel like more could've been done with the shatterverse, maybe have Sonic go to a familiar universe, from Sonic X or an old Sonic game?

[@2ndspringtube708]

I do like the show ,and I can understand he didn’t go to a familer universe due to the shards thing but I do agree the last few episodes felt about the same ,I was watching them back to back but I didn’t know which episode I was due to how similar they were

[@Mewdo45]

That is the biggest issue I have with the finale. It feels so dragged on yet the conclusion feels so rushed. The finale didn't need to be 7 episodes long

[@ixiahj]

Sonic flip flopped a lot in this season. "I'll surrender myself to Nine so no one gets hurt" then later "If Nine catches me its game over." They lost the plot and had no idea what they wanted to do.

[@draconomega]

[@user-mo2gb8ez8d]

Honestly, the way Sonic was written in this show feels like a childish loser that tried so hard to be cool. I'm sorry but this is just my opinion.

[@Mewdo45]

Honestly it annoyed me how sonic acted stupid and was never called out for it. When everyone was in the safety and protection if the egg legion or whatever they are called layer. Sonic felt he had to save variants of hes friends, hence risking everyone else's safety. He is told its a dumb plan and it'll get everyone killed. Yet some how him ignoring them and endangering innocents to help people who beleive are hes friends is an act of "heroism". The show does this a lot by making sonic do dumb things just to move the plot forward

Huh??

[@someone6531]

The Chaos Emeralds should've at least had a purpose in the plot.

[@apersoniguess_]

Biggest missed opportunity that has me annoyed is the chaos emeralds. Shadow had one but lost it pretty much immediately after ending up in the shatterverse, and he never attempts to get it again. He brought it up in passing in season 3 and I was HOPING it would maybe lead to him Investigating the void to find it, and also maybe that the other eneralds survived the shattering since, well, they're literally chaos emeralds, and that they would be used to properly reform Green Hill, but nope. At the end of the show Shadow just manifests the green emerald out of nowhere and prompty leaves.

[@BLUECHAOSEMERALD_]

It's insane how they managed to ruin such a solid set up for a finale Kinda sucks knowing that since this season got such bad reception, they most likely wont do a sonic show with this style of animation or even voice cast

[@vgmaster9]

What we really need is a proper Sonic anime.

[@von8572]

Overall I think Sonic Prime is good show. Though, S3's ending was... rushed and not written right. I have rewatched S1's Ep1 a lot because I really like how the show started, I had really high expectations on S3's battle scenes especially now that Nine has the entire Paradox Prism rebuilt that he may use it for more scarier and fearful powers and might even do some "reality-bending" things. Even expected Sonic to wield the powers of the Prism (unlike the usual Chaos Emeralds) and defeat Nine with it and have a better ending than this.

[@DanielKariuki-er5gi]

3:42 I know Netflix told them the show was allowed for 24 episodes but I feel like there was a lot of better ways to end the series than this like maybe they could have convinced Nine to extract the prism power out of Sonic's body and save all the shatterspaces in episode 5 and then we could have spent the last two episodes in Green Hill and see some more stuff with Sonic in his original world with his original friends that's my idea for the finale of the series I think that would have been way better than what we got also I originally wanted to have a scene where Sonic and maybe Shadow tell everybody about the crazy adventure they had around the shatterspaces and maybe tell them about Nine but that's just me though does anyone like my ideas?

For the longest time, I thought that Nine's hostility was because Sonic, after trying to befriend him, basically said "screw you, I want mine back" and that this would outright destroy Nine and the everyone else in the other worlds. But no, everyone would have been okay anyway, and this was conveyed so poorly.

[@madnessmar]

i have so many questions the “ending” left so many gaping holes. what happened with the other shatterspaces? can they exist without a crystal shard? is there still a way to access the other shatterspaces if they do still exist? was Nine actually forgiven? was Shadow reset too then Green hill timeline got reset he has his chaos emerald again so i wonder if he remembers anything. also where did he take the crystal at the end? what was that looming shadow that was about to attack Sonic and his friends at the end?

[@Externity-iq7sk]

Shadow: its over Nine! *me resisting the urge to say thousand*

[@Nene23285]

I still can't get over how Sonic was getting through to Nine, and then stands with his friends to fight against him. When they fell in the labratory, Sonic convinced and made them promise to leave Nine alone. He couldn't have done that first? 😭

[@ZeeecksLegends]

Having finished it yesterday, I can only say that this show just kinda exists. It doesn’t break any new ground within the series and it doesn’t accomplish anything spectacular. It offers us what’s probably the WORST version of Sonic to date, and a narrative that’s so uninteresting with what it does offer. Why make a show about the Sonic Multiverse and not use the ACTUAL Sonic Multiverse? Instead we’re left with pirates, a dystopian city, and prehistoric times. It’s a real shame, because Prime had the setup for something great and it doesn’t stick the landing. Credit where it’s due, at least the fight choreography was pretty good

[@ZeeecksLegends]

And the insistence from the show’s devs that this show is canon is just laughable

[@lordadz1615]

They throw out the word cannon to hyping people up. As far as many fans are concerned it's not canon

[@noahfoley5576]

While it is not a masterpiece I do think season 3 was perfectly fine as a conclusion. There were absolutely flaws but overall I think the plot wrapped up satisfyingly enough, and I realize now that despite its flaws I ended up caring about the fate of most of the characters. (Just not the Eggmen personally) And I think a lot of the voice acting was very very well done. Shadow, rouge, and tails sounded wonderful to me. Now that the show might be over I'm glad it happened and think it was done well, but still shouldn't remain canon. I see all the time people criticizing Sonic's characterization and while I agree that Sonic is far from perfect writing wise - being kinda dumb, unfunny, and overall just not like his game counterpart - I think some of it boils down to giving sonic a character arc which often doesn't happen in the games. And that works in the games because its what makes Sonic so great because his character helps, supports, and works through others fears and problems, notably Chip in Unleashed, Merlina in Black Knight, or Tais in Frontiers. Sonic in the games rarely ever has any internal struggles which works for the games. But for a Tv show it becomes a lot more interesting and works better to give Sonic an arc which Sonic fans aren't very use to and I think it makes the show a lot more interesting to watch and ultimately satisfying to watch its conclusion in season 3. So yeah, that's just my take I think it is fine and reasonable to very much dislike it XD. I'm glad it was made.

[@Tails_The_Fox92]

This show was like a dream for me. It had cool fight scenes, good animation... was the story the best? No. Was the finale bad? Maybe. But I still feel like this is one of my favorite shows I've watched in a while. I understand and agree with most of the criticisms, and I myself still don't want this to be canon lmao. But still, I feel like this show is way too dogged on. At the end of the day, it's a show for seven year olds- can't expect shows like that to be good. TLDR- I like the show but Sonic Boom is still better

[@the_black_belt_drummer]

Also you forgot to add: Sonic tries to show his friends how much he missed them by treating them to some chili dogs and for no f**king reason they’re like, “you’re being so nice to us. Are you ret**ded or something?” And right as Sonic’s about to explain everything, a big ass explosion, a random shadow hovering over and…credits roll. Just like that.

[@dreamsofcyxes4187]

Nine genuinely worked for a bit as a morally grey villain,the way he ripped sonic's front with the "you're just doing this because it's the only way you can live with yourself" was actually so good and it was understandable that he didn't wanna just be reduced to nothing because sonic just wanted to fix his wrongs and ignore the countless lives he created with them

In my opinion I enjoy it and Sonic Prime Season 3 has a few problems and the one problem is that Shadow didn’t get as much screen time but I enjoy it and I really don’t like how episode 4,5,6 are just episode were they just fight and it can get a little boring at times. My favorite part in episode 7 and that’s the last episode, and my favorite part was when Shadow was holding Sonic and running to the Green Hill portal. Another big problem is that the ending made no sense and Season 4 is not happening at all. Great video SF Productions)

"Miles worse" i see what you did there~ :o

[@justaboy3403]

Great video you made dude. I agree on many points like the streched final fight ,the screen time was given to inferior marketable variants of the sonic cast instead of shadow and the cliffhanger was annoying. I really like the fact that the ending defeating eggman with his friends showed how much sonic developed and made the show feel meaningful. I like sonic prime but it could be shortened. Instead of Sonic collecting the shards in season 2 they could done it in season 1 the episodes would have sonic meeting other varients of sonic's world while collecting these damn shards and the final season could been 4 to 5 the maximum

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

Sonic Prime as a whole is just not good. Sonic fans are blinded by their love of Sonic and the general lack of good Sonic media before 2020, that's why they're so bias in favor of this series. To be clear, I don't think Sonic Prime is offensively bad, it's just very "meh".

[@donathan2933]

What drags season 3 is how repetitive it is. Season 2 ending on a great note, kicking off the third season with an amazing first episode only for the rest of the season to be dragged out by tiresome fights, Sonic constantly trying to reason with Nine and the latter’s rushed redemption arc not to mention the cliffhanger. I like the show but this season is not for me

[@alphathedemon8887]

I can't believe it took me all this time to realise... but they straight up pulled an 06 on us at the end. 😐

[@ShadsTH1]

I actually quite enjoyed the show despite being an older fan. Of course, it has its issues, but I still had fun watching it. I was afraid of what they would do in Season 3 because I didn't think they needed seven episodes to finish the plot. My fears were proven right, sadly. I don't actually mind filler as long as it's enjoyable, and I think I would get bored of the fight scenes if I gave the show a rewatch. Even then, though, I can still acknowledge that filler is filler and that it doesn't need to be there.

[@CHICKENRAN34]

Idk I was hoping for like some Prism Sonic showdown but instead we got a 3 episode battle where Sonic needs to talk to nine about his feelings. Still was fun to watch but missed a lot of potential. Also thx for streaming the 3rd season on discord! 👍

[@derekmundo6084]

I respect that you don't like Sonic Prime and you have your reasons. I personally like Sonic Prime, but the finale felt very boring, and I have my reasons: 1. Sonic has to solve his problems with Nine with the power of Love (something like: Nine don't be the bad guy, this isn't you) and that was very boring, because it reminds me of Steven Universe, and that show was boring as f*ck 2. It feels repetitive and sometimes the characters are (a bit) annoying (with some exceptions) 3. Until episode 3 we know that we only get to see the characters fighting with Robots over and over again like it was an endless war, with less dialogues, less interactions, etc. 4. Tiny animation errors. And 5. The Writing in the later episodes felt completely off. It was great in the other two seasons (in my perspective) but it looks like everything went downhill. Having repetitive episodes, annoying characters, you get the deal. So that's the bad stuff from the season. And now the good stuff: 1. Shadow is still a very great character, having great moments in the series and actually doing great stuff 2. The animation is still smoother and solid, still having the squash and stretch thingy, and it still has great action scenes (sometimes). And 3. That one reference to Sonic Advance. It was nice from me Overall, I can see the horrible downfall from Sonic Prime, Season 1 and Season 2 are great, but season 3 was the opposite of the other two seasons. Bad Writing? Annoying Characters? repetitive episodes? They wasted too much potential for that finale. I will have a rating from every season of the series (at least for me): Season 1: 7/10 Season 2: 8/10 Season 3: 4/10 It's fine if you like season 3, because it's your opinion and you have your reasons

They should have wrapped it up with Sonic telling the story. Now if there isn’t a season four it’s gonna be a show that ends on a Cliffhanger without a proper ending. I hate it when shows end like that. I don’t hate much, but I hate it when that happens.

My only prediction is that Prime is a similar case to the movie universe in which it’s not canon to the games and is its own seperate universe.

You described everything perfectly, I felt like I was shit on for the ending all the characters, Worlds, everything didn’t matter bc they reset time🤦🏻‍♀️ They left on a cliffhanger not knowing who their up against. I’m very convinced I could’ve wrote a way better version😂 Sonic just was a spoiled brat while everyone else was ‘trendy’ (all side characters) one thing I did like though was Shadow’s character setup and doing a different concept of Shadow and Sonic working together but I suppose for the series it didn’t even matter🫤 I wish everyone had more and bit different personalities especially sonic. There was no growth with the Chaos Council, no Character development.

actually he can shadow even without the prism energy was able to leave Ghost Hill using his speed and the green hill gateway is still open so sonic can do the same thing as shadow and leave Green Hill using his speed but there is a problem i don't think that sonic will be able to enter the others universes because the energy that enable him to is gone unless he somehow find out a way to do that

So true for the first point. At the end, the scene where he fell in the chasm, or even the whole idea of him going missing, was just useless. I don’t know why they had to make Shadow disappear for some episodes but that was pointless.

[@eclipse8640]

I feel like something that really hurt season 3 besides Shadow's gaping void of a presence was definitely just the static location. At least in previous seasons Sonic was consistently bouncing around from shatterspace to shatterspace keeping things fairly fresh, but the show didn't get that advantage in season 3 Honestly something that would've been cool would be to kinda mess around with the idea of crumbling shatterspaces that was only briefly touched on at the start We revisit old areas except they're all decaying and the layout is warp or something to that effect Have the battle in multiple locations, have some kind of macguffin to find, I don't know The most frustrating part to me was that Sonic had the ability to just run to the top of the tower the entire time to stop Nine and didn't for the sake of "You have to stay with the team, Sonic!" Which sure, that's a fine lesson to have in a show targeted towards a younger audience, but I think making it much more of a risk to actually charge ahead would've been better rather than leaving it overly vague as a "bad idea" when he ended up just doing it anyways later on I really enjoyed Sonic Prime at first and season 3 definitely had some great moments too, but it's a shame that it ended up coming to such a lackluster conclusion. The animation was still super good at least

[@likeabossgaming4381]

Some might debate the continued existence of the Shatterverse after the restoration of the Prism, but one things confirmed for certain at least; Sonic remembers the events. And with Shadow escaping with the prism, who knows; there MIGHT be potential for Sonic to get tails to safely tap into it and reopen portals to shatterverses... if they still exist. Which id wager they would, due to the shatterverses remaining stable after Nine fixed it. It was just Sonic that was in trouble, because his energy was a critical ingredient. But regardless, even if the shatterverses still exist, whether or not Prime's events transpired or were undone in the other Shatterverses after the Restoration remains up in the air, since maybe everyone else forgot and ONLY sonic (and MAYBE shadow, idk) remembers things. But yeah, either way, doubt this narrative is gonna get an extension in any other media platform. Might be interesting to get a game adaptation (with hopefully a narrative upgrade), but thats a pipe dream.

[@jordanyoung1437]

They should have had the shatter space characters continue to exist in the paradox prism as Sonic and Shadow escape it and return to green hills. Or something like that so there won’t be a time reset

[@Gnidel]

Wasn't that exactly what happened? I thought Green Hill was restored to a state few seconds before Prism was destroyed, but other universes are hard no time reversal.

[@jordanyoung1437]

@@Gnidel You’re right about Green Hill being restored, but because Sonic returned back home a couple of seconds in the past, he never broke the prism like the first time around meaning that all of his adventures and shatter-verse friends never actually happened or existed. What I meant by my first comment is that when he returned home time would remain continuous. So from his friend’s pov he would’ve broken and disappeared with the prism then miraculously exit the prism with it being restored. And perhaps looking closely at the prism he could see reflections of his shatter-verse friends.

For me i loved the first two seasons, aspecially the 2nd with the constant tension of moving through the shatterspaces, s3 really dissapointed me.

To be honest I don't really like the season as well in my opinion especially the end and I still don't know why my dumb brain think when I first heard about sonic prime I thought sense it Multiverse show (I think) they're going to bring different versions of sonic like movie sonic, classic sonic, sonic boom and original characters as well until I realized it wasn't possible.

[@TheBester7]

i think the show was pretty nice, but not decent. the pace of the story was way too slow, some episodes were poorly written (as you said), some were boring (especially the 3 fighting episodes), it has a lot of missed potential, some stuff felt very random or incoherent, and i would have liked to see more interesting stuff, related to the sonic series or not. it doesn't only have downs tho. the animation and visuals were great, the global story was somewhat interesting, the songs were also great (like that ending credits theme), some episodes were actually very interesting and fun to watch. Season 3 however really felt like a "filler season". They wanted to end the series but had no idea how to do it. There could have been something cool, but instead we got this boring fight, which takes an hour, and then you ask yourself "wait, its still not finished?!?!". Then the sudden plot twist at the very last episode really felt forced, and i think we could have got something way better. An epic battle, where Nine would literally control the reality for example... but no we got a stupid robot fight. The ending scene felt unfinished, it needed more. We could probably have seen more, or some new connections between the parallel worlds. Maybe they could have lived together, or something? Nah timeline got reset and everyone simply forgets, except sonic. Disappointing ending tbh. I'd say the show was pretty good, but had a lot, A LOT of missed potential, and a lot small things that could have heavily improved it. It sometimes felt slow, or boring, but it has ups and downs. I actually enjoyed watching it with my siblings, and it was pretty fun to watch it together! 7/10

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

I've yet to see Season 3 of Sonic Prime, but that's because I have a particular distaste for that series. I've always preferred the lighter, comedy-based Sonic cartoons (Adventures and Boom) over the darker, action-based ones (SatAM, Underground, X, and Prime). I was mostly mixed on the first season because I liked the concept of Sonic travelling to different dimensions and meeting different versions of his friends, but wasn't a fan of its dramatic tone. I was hoping to see more new dimensions in the second season, but it just gave me more of the same. Other issues I have with Prime is that its incarnation of Sonic is clumsier and more prone to making mistakes he's unable to fix, a huge step down from his video game counterpart (it also doesn't help that his friends constantly berate him for it). Finally, Prime is another victim of the Sonic cartoons' curse, in which the season finales tease new seasons rather than try to end on a proper resolution. Every Sonic cartoon I've seen unfortunately suffers from that curse. Maybe someday I'll work up the courage to see Prime's third season, but it's probably not something I'd want to go back to after seeing it.

[@lilyaka9194]

The trailer gave me the impression Sonic would be on the run throughout the different worlds, Nine constantly on his tail(s) 90% of the season was the fight in the grim, New Yoke got two episodes, No Place got one, and Boscage, my favorite world, got 0 Been bamboozled

They just wanted to use Shadow as a plot device. Nothing about his character really was acknowledged beyond his rivalry with Sonic.. which is faceted and has its own lore, but in Sonic Prime, its so watered down. Its just the one-off perception of Shadow rather than the years or story poured into him as a character. He was disappointing.

[@benraven9087]

For me, Prime started off really promising with S1, dropped the ball completely with S2, then got some redemption, but not enough with S3. Despite the drawn out climax, I was still enjoying it way more than S2's repetitive plot points and annoying writing and would have said it was still good overall if it weren't for that absolute DOGCRAP final episode! I swear the writers must have been high because they just rushed the entire thing. It's like they couldn’t wait for the show to end.

[@vergames.]

I completely agree with the 3 episodes long fight. After round 2 or 3 I was like: Oh here we go again. I also started to wonder where Shadow was, like is he dead or something? Not that I believed that but I found it strange that he was still stuck in there. I mean he did say that the army kept him down there but still... It is Shadow we are talking about? But that aside. I don't think that everything was just a complete reset at the end. Yes their world did go back to that moment. But I think it continues where it was left off... aka right before it went all go wrong. The very end of the show also showed how this can be true. The council came into their world in the last 40 seconds of the final episode. At least that is what I assume from the sentence Sonic said: "You gotta be kidding me". The council didn't knew about the other worlds before Sonic came into theirs as we saw in season 1 episode 6 in the first 5 minutes. Therefore if it indeed was the council, it can't be reset. The council only figured out about these other worlds due to Sonic. And I think it continues where it was left off as it stopped existing after that. So nothing could be happening in between. At least... that is my theory 😁

[@Iminfinity1773]

I agree 100% It started off good, but season 3 was just deluded prime sonic playing with nine's feelings. He was all "I need to save tails" instead of "I need to stop nine". Even after he saw sails and mangley "die". which hyped me up for a moment because I thought he was actually going to get serious and take nine down which would make at least ONE interesting scene, but nope, he still played favorites and tried to reason. And it was annoying asf. Sonic was the villain imo.
