Im glad people dont really call other sonic characters just another sonic like ( girl Sonic for Amy, Red Sonic for Knuckles) and thats it is far well known now, thanks to the movies and the fans who saved it.

Trust me, lots of people still do it. Specially old people who don't know it.

I just like the addicting fast paced gameplay (of adventure, classic and boost formulas), the music in most of the games, the character designs and the fact that some games do actually have stories with cutscenes. And I also like the variety in media and game genres the series offers.

@samirrabdelah5178 Well, I'm mostly a fan of shows like Sonic Boom and Sonic Prime! I also like the designs of the characters :)) I'm no hardcore fan or anything, but I think the whole franchise is awesome

[@samirrabdelah5178]

​​@@FunkyOrchidsi like the action , deep and mature side of the franchise but i prefer the idw commic as a series to follow if u like the caracters and the serious n deep situations this commic ill be a master piece to u the boom series makes me pass a really nice time by watching it , we dosent have the usual world saving or the plots of that type but it was and it gives some place to the 2010 years comedian sonic and evry caracter have pretty commic way of speak but the shadow caraterisation was really disappointing to me and the netflix series was having a good action side with some of or serious situations like the survive of sonic and shadow or nine with his caraterisation but its not really my style because i prefer what purchase the lore and put it like he is , some thing who keeps and prefer sonic like he is , like the x serie be cause he successfully keeps the lore or putted the most of his element like they are wish its a proof of a lot of respect for the franchise and a love of sonic like he is like the idw did in a better way but the problem with the netflix serie is that she's made to discover or make sonic at the form of an netflix serie wish it means that the show ill make some of the netflix public or the people's who's check the new and popular things discover the franchise , or the show ill represent the franchise on this wrong image because sonic and he's franchise wasn't targeting just the youngs public or all the families so by making him for all the ages they change the sonic caraterisation by giving him or making more for childs and acting some times like a child and the public ill thought that sonic was always acting like this and they can say that all the franchise or that sonic in all the franchise or generally was like this , and i doesn't like how he didn't listen to others without caring about them inmthe serie like a child because if he was doing or acting like this by experienc or was going to proof how he didn't listen to others by maturity i was going to like it because i hate seeing sonic having a reputation of being some thing simple and for the childs contrary to he's really caracterisation wish it makes him more carefull to people especially who are in danger or face a hard period and he was taking the things easy by maturity and experience like on the black knight game i would prefer to get finally a popular apparition by a show or a movie who's shows what's realy sonic because if the series wasn't popular or very official for the franchise and was like the boom series i was going to let him pass because sonic team have the rights of making some thing different on a show at the place of going farther with the lore but thats when this content or this show or movie ill have any impact on the reputation and the image of sonic and by seeing how proud are sonic team of the serie and the movies this time and how she wanted to make him official or popular or making it represent the franchise , ill create a huge impacts to the franchise and what people think about it or seeing it and he’s fans however is this show use a different time line or don't want to use the franchise or the lore to not making any perpetual impacts on the lore of the franchise i want to the people to know why are we really fan of sonic and what's the real sonic and how butyfull are the franchise and why and how he gets fans like this because am seeing a lot of people prejudice the franchise without respecting it and he's fans or asking why did it have this fans and how people to this maturity love something like this , by seeing sonic something more fore the childs than mario by it self and doing allredy comparison with this franchise and mario?! and i know a very very popular and good reputed frenche youtube channel as an example who always when it talks about sonic they prejudice it or say somethings wrong and bad about like they are seeing it like some thing for the child's with fans who like it like a child's because of thier lasts knowledge of him (the movies) but this channel respect evry franchise and they do fan service for theirs fans by being interested by thoes franchise and allway saying good or sharing deep knowledge about why do people like this franchise and why is it so cool if u understood the frenche language i can give u the name of channel its have multiple channels but they all start or have this name (trash) seriously that's are he's real name and they have a channel about games (trash bandicoot) or about animes and mangas (manga trash) and more (sorry of making the comment so long i need to stop telling my life so much(and why am i always making my comments super long automatically)).

Ah yes eating your Sonic toasted bread and drinking your Sonic energy drink while being dressed up in a Sonic t shirt. There's literally so much Sonic merch out there that you could make most of your house Sonic. That's pretty insane ngl 😅

[@KittenCCC]

One thing I got to point out is that i do disagree is that shadow 05 has a good story and good writing looking at the Japanese version which is the cannon version. The theme is identy since his memory loss and question who he is. Sonic and friends say he is the hero and the gun commander thinks he is a monster and eggman just thinks he is just some experiment, and it's dosen't help that shadow think he is a android. That's why the diffrent paths exist to show what shaddow could have been what he could have been a hero or a villian. but at the end he chooses his own path and that's why "I am all of me" plays and bit of "live and learn" it's a send off to shadow and after the final battle he decides to leave his path to not care about it anymore. and go into a new direction in life, which also explains why he joins G.U.N in 06

Hate to say it but with Archie out of the window, Mario factually has more depth because there is objectively more lore and backstory for a lot of things. The princess being captured in Mario is a reflection on the series being a modern day fairy tale, and Sonic vs Eggman (whether or not it’s what ohshima wanted) is basically a nature vs machine Captain Planet story. Both series have core tropes that the world building is based around. And the multiverse in sonic doesn’t mean anything if there isn’t as much depth as Archie had and IdW is proving that going back to a big lore filled world that made Sonic so interesting pre forces isn’t the end goal or even allowed by Sega. Like… I’m sorry to say but one RPG for Mario can typically bring more lore into its series than the entirety of IDW and I feel like that’s a problem for sonic to be lacking when Mario is literally known for it’s main characters being static and at this point are getting more development than sonic ones post 06. I can keep going but the point is it’s annoying when sonic WAS the one getting as much of not more lore than Mario at one point but that’s not the case anymore and it’s a real possibility that Sonic will be left behind very far in that regard. Sonic Unleashed critic response is what made the characters fully static when they used to not be between SA1-06 which is why fans try so hard to fill in the gaps for why things are the way they are in the series

[@w3tblnk3t]

@@CawthonMobile honestly I hear ya- Sonic lore has become stagnant and it’s super frustrating, I’m all for Mario getting more in depth lore tho and I hope it keeps going in that direction :D I love mario

so what makes me a really fan of sonic are he's mature , serious and deep action side (especially the dark ages) with his various caracters for all the styles with a very deep or nice characterisations without forgeting that sonic was made and are better when he was targeting a mature public with the black knight game or the idw commic and the scenario of the adventurs , and 06 (if we forget this famous scene with the princess) and more (and the animated gameplays like on forces or sxsg wish it makes the games like a real actions movie) and when i was a child i discovered sonic by chance with the mobile and flash games and of curse as a kid i was pretty easy to amaze wish it amkes me and kept me weakly a fan of sonic easily by chace and with the time by discovering what is sonic more and more by checking more unknown games by chance cause of their lack of popularity i was starting to knowing what's are really sonic and starting to like the franchise more and more by growing too , since the 2010 years cames out and sonic team starts to target a 3 years old public with the horrible movie and the respectless netflix series (wish they are made to represent and makes the netflix and cinema public discover all the legendary franchise on this gruce kidy cringey image!) , but its hade some thing , a miracle who changes this scandalous turn and it’s frontiers wish its marke a starts of a new ages a better ages and mature witsh he will makes sonic being it self like he never was before in a mature new age this time without forgeting that's i discovered the idw commic on the same time wish it makes me know that’s sonic have just started , and sonic x shadow generations will be the beginning of the beginning... really and what sonic team needs right now too are an real animated movie who's dont touche the lore this time like idw respect the lore and franchise and loved it like he is , and the movie and netflix didnt , cause sonic are great like he is and he’s action , deep , serious and mature and he’s very characteristic side will make he’s franchise a perfect spot to make an animated movie who could wins oscars and (nearly) all fans will like it and he will makes a new real f..ans and gives the best representation or discovery of the franchise , perhaps an movie based about or follows the idw commic... this turn to a new age and this butyfull franchise was all thanks to the ambitiously and non stoping runing and the keep learning from the falls , sonic team wish she ill try to always find another way across the frontieres contrary to the rats wish they are nintendo

@@samirrabdelah5178 you can even say the same thing for spectacular Spider-Man avatar The last Airbender or even Scooby-Doo mystery Incorporated the dcau cartoons or the Kung Fu Panda movies or TMNT of 2003 and 2012 and the reason why those cartoons are good or because they were allow to talk about mature topics in a digestible sense that kids can understand and it's good for adults as well because when we watch those cartoons as kids we would definitely come back to watch them again then a bunch of episodic cartoons that goes nowhere and I do like cartoons that have stories in them or a beginning to end plot those are the type of cartoons I like more because to be honest cartoons are not just for kids because after all cartoons and anime are just another form of art because watching cartoons or anime allows us to escape the everyday things of the real world because every once in awhile we do have that escapism in our mind and watching cartoons and anime does help with that then watching a live action movie or watching a true story movie
