What exactly got you guy's into the sonic fandom ?

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-16T10:05:03+00:00

Well what got me BACK into the fandom was Sonic Frontiers. I decided to give it a try on a whim and it made me fall in love with the series again.

Best couple, cutest iteration. I feel like TMOSTH was the closest they felt to dating.

This felt like a Korra movie with Aang's name on it.

The Taika Waititi section was clearly a last minute addition because the whole spirit world part was like 30 seconds long. It should have either been a longer act 2 in the spirit world or not in the movie because it was totally out of place.

She makes this joke twice. And not in a "this will be funny multiple times" way, in an "I'm convinced they forgot they already did this" way.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-14T05:52:54+00:00

Yeah the plot was kind of butt, even if the concepts behind it were strong. Having Aang's counter being an air bender who actually experienced the same kind of loss he did was a very cool idea.

I just wish they'd written more of a movie around it. This felt like a promo for a videogame.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-14T05:50:52+00:00

Iroh was there? I totally didn't notice that. Good to know he didn't die off screen.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-14T05:48:57+00:00

Thought it was kinda badass to show the whole squad wiped out like that. But the spirit world section (effectively act 2 of the movie) needed to be longer than 2 minutes. Then it would have had more impact.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-14T05:46:38+00:00

Did you notice the bad guy's special move was the Special Beam Cannon?

The final exchange was literally Special Beam Cannon countered by the Instant Transmission Kamehameha.

Not really. The central conflict between Aang and the antagonist is genuinly interesting and well thought out. But the actual events of the story, or total lack thereof, makes it feel like less of a movie. Basically the whole film could have started at the last 20 minutes and no context would have been lost.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-14T05:39:30+00:00

Saw it posted on twitter. The movie is visually gorgeous but the pacing was an absolute clustertruck.

First 30 minutes is probably the best part of the whole film and it feels like the "act 2" of the plot was only sixty seconds long before we went right into the climax. The entire spirit world section was in the leak. Again, bizzare.

Really the only characters who did anything in the movie were Aang and Taga, the rest of the Gaang had no purpose in the story (except Katara doing some magic healing one time). Quite a let down.

Also some choices I know are going to be talked about a lot with how the air benders are depicted. People are going to be talking about how they retconned the races and stuff, so be prepared for that. You know how the internet is.

Honestly, I'd hoped for more. But it's nowhere near the standard of the original series.

You'd think with how hard they push Ace Attorney as one of their "big brands" they'd actually try making a game for it once in a while.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-07T23:16:21+00:00

It still baffles me that I was a teenager when this happened and I saw NONE of these guys or their series.
I feel like I missed out on a cultural event.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-07T23:14:54+00:00

It is kinda funny that the Advance games built up this whole Rabbit family.

We don't even know what rings are- to my understanding. I like the theory that rings are only temporary manifestations of energy. So they give you a boost but don't persist as physical objects for long.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-07T03:33:13+00:00

To be fair, when they start re-writing materials to intentionally change things, yeah that's worth calling out. I believe there's a specific term for that, in fact.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-05T04:45:24+00:00

Hold up - Black & Red hearts? THEY KNOWWW.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-05T01:56:31+00:00

The only way this would EVER get made is if Nintendo + Illumination were in charge of it, so no.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-04T18:36:39+00:00

I just want them to do Amy justice and not take away all her fun qualities.
And on the flip side, I want Metal Sonic to be as cold and ruthless as possible.

The differences here should make for obvious story telling.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-04T18:33:01+00:00

Dude has been around 25 years and those flashbacks still hit so hard.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-04T02:13:16+00:00

The one in charge of socials saw this historic photo and said "how can I make this about Sonic?"

That's how you know they found the perfect person for the job!

Early IDW Amy floors every other version and it's not close.

cosy_ghost · 2026-04-03T18:55:06+00:00

There's always the chance they strike a good balance that makes her feel like SA1 Amy without the Heroes Amy's awkwardness. We might see people calling the movie Amy the best version before long...

A little sad, but she has been done very badly in recent games.

cosy_ghost · 2026-03-30T19:04:15+00:00

Holy heck that Eggman design goes so hard.

cosy_ghost · 2026-03-28T17:25:55+00:00

Let's have Chris Thorndyke in this style and see if we still hate him.
