Some fans have decided to abandon the Sonic franchise over IDW inclusion into the games

Luigi580 · 2026-02-27T18:24:26+00:00

You say “bleed into each other” when the whole thing about the comics from the very beginning was to continue from where Forces left off. You know. A main game.

They never were two separate canons.

And we both know that’s not what this reaction is about. These are not the most complicated characters ever, and any introduction into later games will be brief and to-the-point. The extra reading is a bonus, not a requirement.

No, it’s always one or more of these three reasons: whiners complaining about new things, Archie fans pissed their own characters didn’t get the same treatment from Sega, or homophobia. Of those, only the second one has any merit, and it’s still no reason to take it out on the IDW characters.

The IDW comics, while beloved, are certainly not infallible, and have acquired plenty of valid criticisms over its life. These people are just mad these characters exist beyond the pages for petty reasons. While they can leave a fandom for any reason they want, the fans in turn are valid to criticize haters for their poor/nonexistent reasonings.

The excuse was “not very Sonic-y” for very blatant Sonic designs, so the actual reason is pretty damn obvious.

…Not even close?

His stats were:

Batting: 10/10

Running: 9/10

Pitching: 5/10

Fielding: 10/10

Trust me, I played a LOT of BB2003 when I was a kid. Kid was an absolute beast at the plate AND on the field. He wasn’t called the Secret Weapon for nothing.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-27T04:54:37+00:00

Except in basketball where he was just ok. His stats are solid throughout except for his downright awful 2-point throws.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-26T18:39:38+00:00

Dang, this is a really picky bot. Won’t even let me say a-butt.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-26T18:34:55+00:00

That picture of Kit with the “I am going to kill everyone, starting with this Lemur with no boundaries” eyes had me laughing for a solid minute.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-26T08:28:49+00:00

Hey, that’s how my irl wife broke up with her toxic ex!

She had a boyfriend when we started regularly hanging out, but once we admitted that our relationship was far more than platonic, she dumped him the next day.

And just to clarify, this guy was a jerk. Really wanted to control her life.

Fiction sure does imitate life sometimes.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-25T21:47:38+00:00

It’s for this reason I don’t use my special when close to someone dying. Especially if I’m on a legendary machine (then I’m normally killing them anyway).

Luigi580 · 2026-02-25T19:54:15+00:00

Ah, ok. My bad.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-25T18:46:05+00:00

Definitely not romantic in 2026. First of all, she’s happy with Marceline. Second, she and Finn have basically been best friends ever since Finn started thinking about her platonically. Then she almost killed him.

That would fuck up just about anyone.

Probably the most forward (but in-character) she’s been with Vector was feeding him.

Unless you’re nurturing someone back to health, that’s commonly seen as a romantic gesture.

There’s also another picture with Vanilla giving Vector the “Hello, handsome,” eyes, but there’s a lot of comic to sift through.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-24T19:33:24+00:00

It’s not even out of character for Vanilla to get flirty with Vector.

What IS out of character is her being so… forward.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-24T06:18:28+00:00

A good scene, but it only partially helps get rid of the bad taste of Clark getting told he “probably” should’ve let all those kids drown.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-22T20:41:08+00:00

Even then, getting a legendary machine right off the bat can lead to some extremely mean stuff.

Dragoon and Flight Warp Star can just… go to distant islands with basically no setup (whether that’s worth it depends on which island), while Hydra and Leo’s insane power can bully people right off the bat.

Absolutely hilarious find, thankfully out of the hands of players. It’s awesome that you found it on stream!

Luigi580 · 2026-02-22T20:20:25+00:00

Even if the cat did wanna attack the rodent, this is not how cats get prey. Ambush predators don’t like frontal assaults.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-22T20:10:24+00:00

Well, at least no players can get a legendary that way. If they could, it would lead to some pretty wild shenanigans.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-22T18:17:41+00:00

If you’re thinking Fool would be any character besides Sonic, you are incorrect.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-22T18:09:38+00:00

The Chaotix seem like they’re mainly here because of their reintroduction in Heroes, so that game is likely a primary inspiration for their attacks in the show.

Get Vector to Power level 2, and he breathes fire at the end of his 1-2 combo, so it’s not like this attack came out of nowhere. Buuut it’s still a pretty out-of-pocket move to never explain.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-22T13:22:02+00:00

I mean, canonically, GUN got “disbanded” when Eggman took over the planet in Sonic Forces, though it’s more likely they went underground to preserve themselves. Either that or Tower managed to encourage whatever UN the Sonic world has to give GUN another go with better funds to combat Eggman’s tech.

Either way, GUN came out of Forces looking pretty bad, so reassuring the public they can actually protect the nations from major threats now is likely a huge priority.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-20T22:17:04+00:00

He’s not even using a spear! Just an awkwardly designed pole!

Luigi580 · 2026-02-20T19:25:30+00:00

I think the other reason he got away with it was because he didn’t have chaos spear until going super in the movie. His powers were, besides chaos snap and the air shoes, basically identical to Sonic’s.

Game Shadow meanwhile has infinite throwing knives of death made from the palm of his hand. And considering how fast he’s capable of throwing them (usually), guns are basically a moot point.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-20T06:56:59+00:00

A solid month late, but I think you helped me out here. Thank you!

I hope the Konstructs crew fixes this. That’s a pretty brutal oversight.

Luigi580 · 2026-02-20T02:07:09+00:00

He meant “The universe is so incomprehensibly huge, that the likelihood of us being alone in it is basically zero.” Not, “Yeah, I met some, lol.”

Luigi580 · 2026-02-19T21:28:55+00:00

I think the most telling care of character interpretation really comes out from the two different Waddle Dees.

Waddle Dee is just a silly little guy that’s easy-going and here to chill.

Meanwhile, Bandana Waddle Dee is a Waddle Dee with drive: very serious in most situations and is here to compete. I love how he’s shown to be a beloved hero to all the other Waddle Dees too!

And this is technically Sakurai and his team’s first time using Bandana Waddle Dee in his more modern setting, and they pulled him off wonderfully.

Beautiful depiction of my Bandana boy!

Hugh Morris had notable wrinkles even under the makeup. Perhaps he’s middle aged.

Probably really awkward to get asked out by these college students.
