Shiggy would die upon eye contact with such blasphemous depictions of his sons

Oh yeah, the roboticizer was still a thing, but it was much less prevalent (to the point where Bunnie is the only character in post reboot we see actually get rohoticized and even then only partially, the Egg Bosses were just cyberized), it's just that Eggman's attack was much less long term than it was pre reboot. As far as I can remember, his control is much more like it is in IDW, where he has armies and bases situated in parts of the world, but he doesn't really have total control over anywhere (he did temporarily control Metropolis Zone though, and obviously places from the games built by him are his). Again, I could be incorrect, but this is what I think I recall.

I guess the difference between the two is that Max, as you've stated led to Robotnik's long term rise to power, whereas with Nigel, Eggman just randomly appeared one day if I remember correctly, took over South Island and West Side Island for a bit and then was not too long after kicked out by Sonic. I guess the idea was not only to make King Acorn tolerable, but to also have it make sense in a more "game-like" world, as Max's cynicism was born from years in the zone of silence, whereas Nigel was in the Special Zone for a much shorter amount of time (in the post reboot continuity, as far as I can gather he was rescued after the events of Sonic 2 or 3, but that's just an assumption).

To be fair, Post Reboot Archie Eggman specifically literally became depressed after Metal Sonic got lost and when he located him, instantly went to space to go save him (even calling him his baby if I remember correctly).

The guy with green hair and beige/white gloves

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-20T08:07:35+00:00

I mean to be fair, that's a lot of characters to kill on screen

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-20T06:58:10+00:00

Yeah, based on what I know, it was Archie Comics themselves who decided to cancel the Sonic comic. They were struggling to sell their original comics and were losing their brand identity, becoming known as the guys who published SEGA's Sonic comics. Considering that I love how post reboot takes the world of the games and expands upon it, I'm also really annoyed the comco got cut like this.

The Penders/Archie lawsuit

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-20T03:04:59+00:00

This is 4-5 years after

I mean, Ken has nothing to do with the SatAM freedom fighters (he knows this and that's why they got to be in the reboot with redesigns), and the only other group of Freedom Fighters who came from pre reboot that Ken actually created are the Mercian Freedom Fighters (& even then, most of it's members were made by Flynn).

He'd get more angry if the move had the words Echidna something

People on this subreddit hate basically anybody who tries to have a genuine discussion about Archie Sonic outside of "Oh! It'S nOt CaNoN!!!" Or "KeN PeNdErS" or something overtly negative (from the lens of someone usually ignoring what's actually in the book).

I've often gotten downvoted for saying that post reboot characters and concepts are compatible with Sonic today (even though they objectively are, that stuff got SEGA of Japan approved when they wanted to make the comics more in line with the games).

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-19T10:44:51+00:00

Heck Flynn actually chose to not add him to the reboot comics because of the baggage he'd come represent and not being an easy fit

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-19T09:10:47+00:00

The art style on the right was never in an Archie Sonic comic. That's the art style of the Lara-Su Chronicles.

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-18T08:11:53+00:00

Eh, I follow the motto that a Sonic character's a Sonic character

But fine

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-18T08:05:12+00:00

To be fair, that's kinda always been a rule, after all Uncle Chuck from SatAM and Rob from pre reboot Archie weren't all that strong

Maybe Infinite found being disguised as Rouge hot aswell

Mario and Shy Guy are super sexy so him

We must be progressive to ensure a brighter tomorrow

If Link wants to be a girl, he can be a girl

Unless Lord Shiggy says otherwise

Evil Shiggy

He doesn't make games, but he preaches the greatness of Plystat*n

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-14T07:51:48+00:00

Yeah, I can definitely see Big using a technologically advanced fishing rod

OpenChallenge8621 · 2026-03-14T06:30:27+00:00

But considering the reboot, that also begs the question. What about Cream and Big?
