what you see is what you get, just a guy who loves adventure!
I like Sonic because he's a cool guy, he runs and he's as free as the wind (TM). I like his little cast of friends who show up and do whatever, Shadow's cool. Like Sonic is just cool to me.
It definitely feels like in my hazy memories that I watched Sonic X alongside the 4kids kirby dub but my experience with sonic is all over the place in terms of games and fan content (mostly flash content)

I also read through archie sonic! The thing is about Archie sonic is that it’s technically also a continuation of a cancelled cartoon that being the Saturday morning DiC comic which then branched off into becoming its own take on the modern continuity alongside still having like the American freedom fighter lore right up until the very complex legal case involving BioWare basically going “hey can we copy your homework” for the echidna lore which then led to a author of the comics (Ken Penders) getting very annoyed about that which then basically leading to like. The entire canon being wiped out. It’s as weird as it sounds. The megaman crossover comic was used to cause the universal wipe as well.


The reboot was neat, for being like a sonic unleashed adaption and also like, reestablishing the world. Lotta adventures of sonic the hedgehog characters came back, Dulcy got a redesign but I liked her old vaguely dragon tales esque design, Breezie came back, uhhh…. They turned Sonic’s dog into like an actual mobian. I think various fan comic characters like Zielo made random cameos during events for some reason. They had another crossover with Megaman. Then it got cancelled.
The freedom fighters haven’t been seen since which kind of blows because Sonic Forces would’ve been the perfect Segway to just having them like. Show up.
As much as I’m a sonic fan I’m kind of terrible at actually playing the games outside of a select few of them and most of my other experiences were either watching shows, reading comics, or watching other people play, outside of the advance games, which I think they’re really nice looking, but also, some really good sprite work for all of the cast between here and battle. (The lore tie ins of shadow and this robot guy Emerl and then like in Advance 3 they rebuild Gemerl and he becomes Cream’s friend… that was nice.) I'm hoping to change that maybe next year since I bought a bunch of 3D games from steam.
