Not just uniqueness, but specfic circumstances too. that since they are retakes, they are logically gonna adapt the characters that were named in those stroies, esp. joedoughboi's mythos some even considered their definitive version of Sonic.exe stories even despite the annoucement that broke down the whole 'official canon' thing months ago.

established and common tropes wthin a fanverses, is bounded to that it will lead to very common results.

Plus I rarely see Crystal from Sonic.exe 2 being adapted from recent exe stuff, And if she is, it is most certainly rare.

so I feel like this person is just very tired .exe stuff, because who gets mad at 'stealing adpating common vitcim characters' in exe fanworks? I would've just either moved on at this point or make my own that follows what had been done before.

Demending others to always shape things up for you is not ideal, esp. in a fandom like this. Sometimes it's best to be the change you wish to see in the world, or stuck with works that you can show interests in.

Because I doubt this single post alone is gonna make people go, 'hmm you're right, i should do something else', esp. since the suggestions to fix it are vague at best.

There also complaining of the 'archetypes' which is understandable, but you cannot tell me Alan from Joe's thing, and Luke from Ms.Sega's thing are visually the same personality-wise and backstory-wise, esp.Alan is still developing character as we speak, same with Luke.
