3. Pay more attention to the characters. The characters should take on the plot, not the other way around. Think over the character's personalities so they are more relatable. Make Sonic more caring and less selfish. Give Knuckles actual qualities to balance out his stupidity and him being a jerk, qualities, not jokes. Make Tails more interesting, have him make progress in his inventions. And, by god, give Amy a consistant personality. Chose what kind of character she's supposed to be, mature or immature, because she can't be both. You should also make clear why the characters like each other. Knuckles doesn't trust Sonic, then why does he stay with him though? Sticks is weird, but everybody likes her anyway. Why? In the current Sonic Boom TV, the good guys also turn on each other way to easily. Give them conflicts that need actual emotion. Develop them, so they'll become something unique. It's what made the episode Tails' Crush so charming. Each character had little understanding of romance but they tried their best to help with Tails interest in Zooey. It would be nice to learn more about the characters as individuals though, such as was Sticks abandoned? What is Angel Island like? How did Sonic and Tails first met? Will we have more SonAmy shippy moments? Are you serious? This episode was pretty much the reason I brought this up. It's every cartoon romance story ever: The kid character wants to impress the girl of his dreams but he doesn't know how to talk to her and gets advice from his friends, but nothing ends up working in the end, he impresses the girl by being himself. They didn't even make the characters advice something new, it's just the usual: Be cool, be romantic, be manly stuff. And well, Sticks' thing, but it was obvious this wasn't gonna work. And Zoey has no personality, constantly runs away for no reason and obviously was created to be Tails' crush. I mean, she looks like Amy and Tails did a gem fusion, how much more evidence do you need? No offense if you liked it though, opinions I guess. It is every cartoon romance story ever. Each episode is catered for children and run for 11 minutes so they need good stories that teach good morals for the modern audience.

Whats important is also what oppotunities in stories it open up. TailZooey is a thing now in Boomiverse. It may not be brought up again or it will when needed for stories and when so how will it move things around? Would we want to see their relationship blossom? Develop? So on...

If you look up "Sonic Boom SonAmy moments" half of these moments are just "Sonic interacts with Amy but the shippers go crazy about it for no reason moments". And most of the SonAmy moments that are SonAmy moments are the most generic romance thing ever like in Ep. 3. Sonic X had better SonAmy moments, but of course, noone remembers these becuz Sanik X suckd. Let's face it: Boom Sonic and Boom Amy barely share any chemistry and SonAmy is never going to be more than a running gag in the show because Status Quo is god anyway. Itt's these "moments" which make their relationship special.

Keep in mind, this is the usual Sonic the Hedgehog, it's "Sonic Boom", a unique Sonic universe which I dub "Boomiverse" so of course things will be different. The small "SonAmy" moments in the Boomiverse are comparible to that of disney's Ariel and Prince Eric. The two had chemistry but started off trying to get to know each other with simple ways to express it due to the fact Ariel was a mute. It's these things that make us go "D'aww" and it's these things writters like to string throughout the series as long as possible to make the Sonamy fans want to see the conclusion.

Yes, Boomiverse Sonic adn Amy are just friends, but there is indeed chemistry there bubbling and unlike Sega amy who openly express her love for Sonic that she stalks him, Boom Amy is much more reserved and personal to the matter that we'll see the shipping in a brand new Boomiverse perspective. How it unfolds we'll see as it unfolds.

Using Knuckles for this would be really insulting. It's insulting enough that he has barely anything to like about him, never solves his own problems and constantly gets beaten up because comedy, but this plotline would destroy his almost dropped backstory of him being a guardian and his parents probably being dead (in the Archie Comics, Knuckles' father even sacrificed his life to save Knuckles) forever. I've actually had a story in mind that ties in with the Lost Crystal of Power, or the very least the Master Emerald equivilent of the Chaos Crystals.

Angel Island in my ideas is an island that levitates just above the ocean and is inhabited by echidnan jocks. "YOU NEED PROTEINS BRAH!" "HOW MUCH CAN YOU LIFT BRAH?" "CHUG-CHUG-CHUG!"

The reason why Knuckles left the island because he was more meat headed than the rest of the echidnas that he became a liability. But he was summoned back because it was time to take up his duty to guard the "Master Crystal". So Knuckles has to choose from his heritage responsibilities or to stay with Team Sonic.

The story continues that Knuckles foolishly looses the Master Crystal to Dr. Eggman, but he and Team Sonic get the Crystal back and the elders decide he's better off as a guardian if he's with Team Sonic.
