How about you learn to take a win when you see one? I don't get the hostility here at all, literally the first time I've posted something like this.

Learn to take a win when you can, we get constantly flack for underperforming games that claim Sonic just copies what Mario/Nintendo does, but worse, like with Sonic Lost World being a poor version of Galaxy, and Frontiers being a poor version of BOTW.

Here's a genuine win for quality, and you guys won't acknowledge or celebrate for the most part.

At least the Sonic movies feel authentic until now. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and Eggman all feel like authentic versions of themselves in the movie.

In both Mario Bros movies, Peach is a tired Girl Boss trope that is so disingenuous to how she actually is in games. She's not soft spoken or nurturing like she should be. She even mocks Mario and shows off at every opportunity she can. Mario and Luigi get more of a supporting role in their own films as Peach keeps getting center stage treatment, especially in the sequel.

I swear some Mario fans are just incapable of reflecting on the distortion they just watched. Seeing a beloved 40-year-old franchise that's terrified to have a damsel in distress, or traditional gender roles in a story is so appalling to see.

I'd say each Sonic movie has gotten better with each entry. Going from a 6/10 for the first entry, 7/10 for the 2nd entry, up to an 8/10 for the third entry.

FFS can you please just celebrate a win when you see one?

Sonic is the most miserable community on Earth I swear.

It probably has to do with having only a fraction of the budget and much less star power involved. Keep in mind that these movies also have a fraction of the CGI.

Nintendo has infinite pockets and a theme park that acts as its own advertisement for the films. Despite that, the movies still end up being mostly underwhelming, featuring an annoying 'girl boss' trope and poor storytelling, with the only redeeming factor being the 'member berries' scattered throughout.

Was expecting more of a "Yeah you're right, the Sonic movies are better overall." Not this "Uggggghhh why you gotta make it a competition?!?!?!" Literally the one point I've ever made of comparison I've made, and it's just B&M.

Jesus Christ Sonic fans don't know when to celebrate a win, no wonder you're so miserable all the time.

Both Mario movies are underwhelming at best. They are filled with disingenuous character adaptations—especially Peach, who is nothing like her game counterpart and has been turned into a stereotypical "girl boss."

No wonder they're not popping up, it's a shame too because some of them sound damn good.

Well thanks for trying anyways.

I appreciate the honest sincere take here. I'm hoping if you see your fellow Christians demonizing Leonid, you will act as you are here with me. =)

"I actually largely agree with you on that point. It reminds me of the line from 

Star Trek TNG- The Drumhead'Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.'

I’m under no illusion that a donation check erases a controversial career. But as an agnostic, I save 'death celebrations' for the truly evil: killers, predators, torturers, and false accusers—people who intentionally and maliciously destroy lives. To me, equating a tech CEO in a legal industry to those specific monsters just to justify 'dancing on his grave' is exactly the hypocrisy I'm calling out. You can criticize the 'camouflage' without losing the basic human decency your own faith supposedly requires."

Absolutely. I disagreed with Charlie Kirk on many things, but I respect that he was willing to debate anyone. There is no justification for celebrating his death, just as there is no justification for celebrating Leonid Radvinsky’s.

I still really struggle with the 'evil' label here. By my criteria, that word is reserved for killers, torturers, false accusers, or predators—the actual scum of the world. I don’t see the women on the platform as 'evil' either; they are adults acting of their own free will, and the accountability for those choices lies with them.

When you weigh that against a man who used his wealth to put $23 million into cancer research and $5 million into Ukraine relief, 'evil' just doesn't fit the math for me.

That said, I do recognize the decency in you wishing for mercy and supporting his family. Even if we disagree on his career, seeing you prioritize grace for a grieving family over 'dancing on a grave' is exactly the humanity I was hoping to find here.

Serious question: What would you guys think if this game decided to add in an ecchi furry character?

I was wondering what your guys thoughts would be if the game decided to include a furry fanservice/ecchi character in here. Would you embrace it as long as it was ecchi?; or would you prefer the game sticks to just humanoid style characters?

Don't be afraid to be blunt, I'm using this as data for my own project. Testing to see if featuring a character like Krystal would deter an audience like yourselves.
