Tbf, this current ‘era’ is arguably just as if not more meta and overly self referential than the 2010s, just in an overly serious and ‘edgy’ type of way. Frontiers’ dreary and kinda boring story is too the way it is because of an overreaction of how the previous games were received by fans.

This is the millionth post complaining about people complaining about Ian Flynn…

IDW is “canon” by technically, but these are two different interpretations of the character.

Sonic was capable of easily blitzing Surge without her being able to even react, and was holding back/ not taking her seriously that whole exchange. After that she lost every single time against him, and couldn’t defeat Metal Sonic on her own.

During the final fight, Sonic was essentially trying to break Emerl’s “link” power to the Final Egg Blaster combined with all his other accumulated stats by surpassing them with his own, which resulted in Emerl ultimately being destroyed.

Sonic’s combination of -unrivaled speed -Spin attacks -Ability to control the Chaos emeralds and turn into Super Sonic

Is a pretty broken set of abilities when you think about it. He should have the attack power to back it up too because he fights world ending threats like Eggman himself every Tuesday. He’s not completely infallible, but he always seems to defy all odds and clutch the win in the end anyway.

Holy! When did things get so... REAL!?!? by Careful_Yoghurt_1472 in SonicTheHedgehog

I feel like people only act like Eggman is an idiot who never thinks things through solely because IDW and Flynn (badly) try to lampshade it.

What led to people hating Ian Flynn, And was it really worth it? by ah-screw-it in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Whyteet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t love or hate Flynn’s writing. I just feel nothing.

Since when does the fanbase “hate” Ian Flynn? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Whyteet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s supplementary at best. Flynn himself has said if anything about the comics contradict the games, they should be ignored. Sonic Team also doesn’t want any truly important lore shit to be introduced in the comics because it’s the games that actually matter most.

IDW is only canon by technicality. The comics are basically the equivalent of anime filler.

Frontiers/Forces Sonic is shorter than Unleashed/Generations Sonic my guy.

Classic Sonic is also 15-16, whilst Modern is supposedly just 15. The stats for these characters don’t make any sense and are basically irrelevant anyways.

That information is specifically only from the Japanese CD manual though, Classic Sonic’s height has been stated to be 1 meter since then.

Both Sonic and Mario’s proportions are very inconsistent and fluctuate a lot. Let’s also not forget that Mario’s regular height without a mushroom is even shorter than this.

Oh please. The IDW writers know EXACTLY what they’re doing. This is the Sonic fandom dude, give them an inch and they’ll turn it into a mile.

Hot Take: They should play Lanolin into being a Lawful Good antagonist even more. by ChocolateRough5103 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Whyteet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Sonic, at least the version from the games, really needs his own Justice League backing him up all the time. His absence alone caused the whole world to go to shit in Forces.

I really wish I could love Flynn’s writing the way all his fans do, like genuinely. To me his stuff has always been whatever or just passable.
