Its pretty okay but it does have its moments.

Is there an episode recommendation list? There's a lot of clunkers but some of the good eps are really good.

Season 2 seems to be a lot better than Season 1 in general.

Oh really?


I haven't got the grip of it.
Looks like it can be pretty fun or really bad in any given moment.
Like it can be self-referential in a good way but also fail miserably in most jokes.

I started with season 2 and the writing is surprisingly sharp with lots of intelligent jokes that kids would definitely lack the vocabulary/context to understand. The voice acting and characterization is also exceptional–except Knuckles who is entirely predictable as "the big and dumb guy," but still gets predictable good jokes. All the actors do amazing.

It's not an action-focused show at all. It's generally episodic slice of life stuff/sitcom stuff with some obligatory robot smashing thrown in near the end.

You really, really, really are autistic.

I'm not a Sonic autist, I just watched it on a whim and I was surprised how good it is.

watching a show for little kids and enjoying it is pretty autistic.

I'm going to tell you something shocking but these shows are made by adult professionals.

I'm glad to hear it, OP. It's nice that you can find a show you can enjoy.

Mostly because how self-aware they've become.


Hey Holla Forums

So is it still on at 6 AM on the weekends? You'd think that they put reruns on during the weekday afternoon so kids can watch it after school.

That's something I wouldn't have predicted.

No one could.

I think so

It was nice too bad it won't get a season 3

why tho?

Maybe Capcom copyrighted it?

Maybe, someone check the wiki

Just checked. Gives no real reason for it.

Maybe the Japanese don't like anything with a boom to it.

...

This was something I didn't think would happen but it happened anyway.

How is post-modern humor and Chris-chan references funny?

It recognises the monstrosity of the fandom, you gotta loosen up user

Shoot

Not the type of Sonic series i wanted(comedy heavy instead of adventure) but I think its doing its job nicely.

...

Only now I just realized they now use "Dr. Eggman" everywhere because it's easier to lip flap

It's more because that was his original Japanese name and Sega went from hyper-localisation to trying to normalise everything.

I assumed it was because "Robotnik" is American anti-Soviet flavored and might incense Russians.

I know, I was just trying to think if there was more to it than that

No, because 'Robotnik' is supposed to be his real name. They still used it in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 (Eggman's grandfather is Gerald Robotnik).

Not to mention the fact that Sonic came out long after the wall came down and the same year that the Soviet Union collapsed.

On the flip side a lot of the egg theming was retained in early localizations, like the Death Egg

...

I want to -hug Sticks

QUIET, TAILS!!

I want to marry someone to Sticks.

...

Mods better bumplock this thread.

Because of what happened to the old "EU" OCs?

She was in one of the Olympics game, I think Sega are a lot smarter about copyrights now than they used to be.

Why?

Diagnosis: Autism

Prognosis: Incurable

Sorry OP I think it's terminal.

From what I heard the Archie comics authors contracts allegedly always said that any character created for the comic would be owned by Sega. But there's no way to prove it since they somehow managed to misplace them.

Before or after the Pendering?

Before. The Pendering happened because Archie had no way to prove that Penders didn't have the rights to the characters he created since they couldn't find his original contract. Sure, they might have been able to win in the end, but that would have cost both Archie and Sega a lot of time and money. Sega decided it wasn't worth it and demanded that Archie settle it quickly or lose the license.

Sonic's voice is terrible in this. His voice is better suited for characters like Henry on tamers.

I enjoyed the Sonic Boom games on the 3DS as it was more of the same. Apparently, the Wii U version of the games are bug ridden, and they're on my to-do list.

The show is fairly good. Better than most of the schlock they've been churning out recently on the tv and much better than the shit SEGA has been pumping out since 06.

Not much in the way of lore building, but there's a fair number of jokes that really hit the mark, and the characters are done well, aside from Amy who is now magically competent and Knuckles who is not Sonic's chummy rival.

I enjoyed the episode where Shadow appeared and they mocked all the edgy kids.
I also enjoyed the episode where they mock our Lord and Saviour, the Mayor of CWCville; Christine. It was an average episode, but the salt she gave in return was great.

The 3ds one was the only good version

Don't bring up the voice, the last thing we need is a Sonic voice war.

His voice is still better than the 4kids guy.

Remembering the Sonic voice actor war of 2006-2009 makes me nostalgic.

There is always the comics.

Not for long. Archie is going to tank soon and will sell everything that isn't Archie to sutvive.

I bet Disney is going to buy them.

I don't think Disney gives a shit about Sonic. Most have speculated IDW will buy the liscense.

Because its obvious that after the failure that was Boom they want to get rid of everything Boom related as soon as possible.

There was a war? All I remember is that people just wanted Ryan Drummond back

I honestly don't get why besides nostalgia. As much as I now associate Roger with Boom Sonic, I'm not really sure if Ryan can emote as well as he could when playing as Sonic. He sounds too memetic while Roger is pretty professional. Then again maybe it's the material. Also Jason kind of got better in the last few games he voiced Sonic. I'm probably the only that liked OVA Sonic's voice.

I thought Ryan was the best at a pure heroic Sonic voice while Roger is the best at being snarky asshole Sonic voice. Jason was okay and OVA is my ideal Sonic voice. White was just mediocre.

Not him but at this point everyone knows how bad the fandom is, its beating a dead horse and it's like we get it there was a shitstorm over blue arms.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Sonic should have just died with arcades or something. The games themselves were designed for such and the era is game. Almost everything after that era was a train wreck and nobody knows what the hell to do with the IP anymore.

At the time it was because Sega had their voice actors for the Sonic games, and 4Kids chose not to use Sega's actors but to use their own for Sonic X. Sega Japan came in and said there can only be one set of Sonic actors, Sega America and 4Kids had a contract so the Sega actors got fired and replaced with the 4Kids actors, who everyone hated before but then really hated after that.

Now that the 4Kids actors have themselves been replaced it's less of an issue. Personally I stopped paying attention to Sonic so I stopped really caring.

I completely disagree. SEGA's development butterfingers haven't really smudged Sonic. In fact, his enduring appeal in spite of repeated bungles just proves how timeless he really is.

It's too bad they keep screwing the main series up, other studios are doing great work with the IP in side projects (for example, UK's Team Sumo with All Stars Racing and the French animation studio doing Sonic Boom cartoon).

Sonic's the immortal guardian spirit sent from the 90s to keep ATTITUDE alive, yo. He's also a non-SJWed positive heterosexual male character who's not a bloodthirsty psychopath or a castrati. I hope he stays around for another 25 years.

Sega just couldn't keep their shit together.

I honestly hope Sonic stays around forever.

Which is a shame because the voice 4kids voice actors were just getting good at their roles but eh.

They kept the only good one, which was Mike Pollock. 4Kids was generally cancer. Good riddance

...

...

Right now they're cashing in on nostalgia with Generations 2 and what looks like a ROMhack. I wonder what they'll do when the Sonic nostalgia bubble bursts and they're forced to put forth new ideas again.

That's really beautiful user. Sonic really is the hero we need.

It seems hard to give Eggman a bad voice though, possibly because the character practically demands to be as over-the-top as possible

His new voice is pretty good.

...

Would you rather bathroom humor than?

Both are equally shit.

The guilt episode (I think it was episode 9) was interesting. BTFO victim and guilt culture bullshit while mocking natives. The show seems to shit on PC constantly like when Amy complained she got shit roles because she's a girl and Stix completely outstaged her.

Surprised to see an episode like that nowadays. then again it airs on a near dead slot.

True

For obvious reasons.

...

Yeah, no..

How can someone who draws a lot of pictures on a daily basis still be on the level of skill they had over a decade ago?

I have the same problem, The body just refuses to cooperate, even if I know what is wrong, my dexterity level is the one of a baby fused with an old lady with Parkinson.

IIRC he only does the lineart and mass produces the porn through Brazilian sweatshops.

Monkey genes

Practicing isn't enough. You also need constant feedback and challenges.
If I spent 100,000 hours playing chopsticks on piano, I wouldn't be a concert pianist.

All the feedback i get is always "do it all over again!" same shit really. I haven't finished a picture in almost 3 years because I always have to remake it from scratch and it is always wrong according to everyone I ask. I am tired of people telling everything I do is shit despite me sleeping at 2am trying to figure this shit out and getting up for work at 6am.

Fuck drawing, I give up.

Are you taking classes?
Of course a layman is not going to be able to tell you where you're going wrong. Unless your work is so awful that an infant could see the mistakes.

Get a professional to look at your work

This

Personal study is always better.

Personal study is limited. At some point you will have to show someone your work. That is, if you're interested in improving and don't just want to draw for yourself.

I hope not. Sticks is a fun character.

Agreed

This still pisses me off. You have a highly profitable franchise ad you air it when everyone's asleep.

I don't think 4chan's /ic/ as "layman" they are like /g/ but with drawings.

I just know i am wrong, but I don't know what is wrong and how it should actually be.

Cartoon Network does that with any show made and owned by third parties

This is why most of them have gone with Nick

Nah, Archie is not going to take down their best selling comic.

They're making moves to do so. If Sega want to pull the licence and give it to someone else, there's not much Archie can do

And even second parties, given how they treated DC cartoons until Teen Titans Go.

This is why network television is dying

For what seems to be going down, it isn't Archie's decision.

agreed

Why is this? Is it because it takes no effort to animate and write?

Yep. Also, a lot of parents won't let kids watch "violent" shows, so making a supposed comedy is a much safer bet.

Shame

Depends on who is teaching you. I wouldn't go to an art school in America these days, it's nothing more than a daycare for rich kids.

...

While I did mention classes I didn't necessarily mean you'd have to go to an art school to get a professional to review your work.

It used to be at comic cons or whatever you could get professional comic book artists to look at your samples. I don't know if that's still true, everything's become so corporate these days and companies/artists are probably afraid that some crazed aspiring illustrator will show them their samples then sue them for stealing their ideas when the company/artist ends up doing something even vaguely similar.

fuck you Sonic

I'M LOSING MY SHIT SO HARD OVER THIS

Ridiculous bleeps will never not be funny.

Its a classsic

One thing I'm going to miss about Boom is Amy's outfit. Fuck, those thigh-highs make her look so good.

We need more nice anons.

god damn that game sucked.

Fuck you I liked it.

I liked it. Played on both 360 and PC. I didn't know how much of a hack Mr Shitface was back then, so I enjoyed it for what it was - A goofy third-person RTS disguised as an action hack&slash game.

Sonic Channel actually admits that she exists as a character, so I think at the very least she'll continue to be around after Boom inevitably bites the dust.

That's a badger?!?

And Sonic's a hedgehog, what's your point?

Sonic at least sort of looks like a fucking hedgehog

Honey badgers aren't the only badgers out there user, and considering the designs of characters like the echidnas I think the fact that she has darker fur over her eyes is close enough.

It still guaranteed DF would never make another ambitious AA title again

I was thinking more European Badgers but okay

Oh shit Sonic Channel is still around? I forgot that place existed for years until now.

People used to confuse her with a squirrel character from a portable game or two

Actually, user…

Jack Black himself actually took the helm of finishing the game after Tim basically gave up. So it's honestly more his game than DF's.

Has she even shown up in any other games but the other sonic rush?

Double Fine seems to have a big case of 'effort lasts as long as the director's manic episodes'.

bump

Sticks was made by Sonic Team for the Sonic Boom games. That's why they include her on Sonic Channel promos and why she was in the olympic game. She's an official Sonic Team character.

They only keep screwing it up due to the bipolarity of the fanbase and gaming magazines on what exactly they want the franchise to be. People complained about the serious plots and extended cast after 06, so they decided to focus on Sonic, Tails and Eggman only from 2010 onwards. They also hired Ken Pontac and Warren Graff to write the games, so as to make them more suitable for children. Hence the simple plots with (bad) humor. And they did that until Sonic Lost World. And then Sega of America was given their chance, so they made Sonic Boom, but decided to follow in the steps of lizuka and keep Pontac and Graff. They also hired newly made Big Red Button to make the game. Of course Sonic Boom failed, and set back the progress Sega had made with Colors and Generations. Now we're back to the drawing board.

But i'm hopeful Sonic Forces will turn that around, again.

Give it all to Penders, I say.

GIVE IT ALL TO PENDERS!
Penders will Make Sonic Great again.

Is that you Penders? When is Lara-Su chronicles coming out? You said "coming out soon" like five fucking years ago.

I'm confused too, he seems to be confused as to whether he's developing Lara-Su as a game, a comic, a cartoon, a novel, or anything at all. I think Pending Penders has to put the crack pipe down and actually do some fucking work.

He's been settling on it being a comic. And get this, he thinks he will revolutionize the comic book industry by making the comic app-based. Apparently Penders thinks literally no one else has thought of this yet despite Marvel, DC and even fucking Archie making their comics available via apps and there being existing comics made as apps.

HELL NO!

Well you look at that

Speaking of Penders, did he ever try to sue Sega and Bioware like he originally planned? Or did he think that would be pushing his luck?

First phase yes, after that no idea.

get off of Holla Forums ken penders

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE HER!

I can't put my finger on it why, but she doesn't seem that way. Maybe because it's because her design always seems to stay the same, while Sonic and friends were changed for Boom?

Sticks was the only character Sonic Team designed for Boom. Everyone else was designed by someone either at Big Red Button, Sega of America or some other unknow corporation or something like that. Sticks doesn't suffer the Sport Tape curse so you can obviously tell she wasn't made to fit the aesthetic of the group.


Look at this, this is official Sonic Team art. Plus pic related. She was also featured in two of the anniversary Sonic Channel comics alongside the main game characters. She was the only Boom character to show up. So who knows, she probably exists in the main games too. Maybe she'll show up in Sonic Forces.

Wow she looks like marine but with different quill style and eye color.

Me neither, but the clips and few episodes I've seen actually seem really good. Especially that episode where they poke fun at Chris chan and make references to Misery. Pretty high quality stuff.
Its just a shame they gave it such a shit time slot. It's like CN wanted to kill this show.

Marine and Sticks don't have quills, their hair is just fur. One is a racoon, the other is a badger.

They actually sended it to Boomerang so yeah they're pretty much trying to kill it because they don't really own it. But Sonic Boom has the best ratings of Boomerang so either way it would just be dumb of them to kill it when it does well even in the shittiest network. Something must be worked out eventually.

Much more Netflix

In terms of writers, everybody seems to like Ian Flynn, while my personal favorite is Benoit Grenier.

Franchised shows dont do well anymore

You sure?

It's a pretty good show. Really enjoyed those new Sticks and Amy episodes. I ain't no furry but I gotta admit they can be pretty cute. Though this show in general can be really adorable sometimes.
