User blog comment:BlueFlametheAman/Sonic Boom : Rise of Lyric review/@comment-5241844-20141116043553

Am I the only person who's sick and tired of seeing so much negativity regrading the Sonic franchise especially Sonic Boom as well as some of the newer Sonic games. I also can't stand certain fans who think the series sucks nowadays because it doesn't have dark and edgy storyline. It also irks how they claim some of the stories in the games aren't like the comics or Sonic SATAM, now don't get me wrong I'm rather neutral when it comes to the comics but SATAM on the other hand is... [Flame Shield up] really, really, REALLY BORING! Unlike most people, I actually found the humor in Sonic Colours funny as heck and I laugh at every single cutscene because it was so well done. Plus, why do most Sonic fans think SATAM's writing is good? Just because it's gritty doesn't mean it's always going to be good because if that were the case Frank Miller's All-star Batman & Robin would considered a masterpiece compared to other comics that have better writing and better art. Besides I found SATAM's writing to be so dull and so bland I would rather read all the Twilight books than stomach through all 26 episodes. As for the Sonic Archie comics, like I said I'm rather neutral when it comes to them, but I honestly think that they need to end, soon! I don't really know I just think they need to end it before it's too late. Mostly because I'm sick of the fanboys constantly saying the comics are soooo much better than the games, even though it weren't for the games, the comics wouldn't exist. One thing that really grinds my gears is that there are TOO MANY MULTI-PARTERS! Would it kill them to cut back a bit, seriously does every single issue of the main comics have to have so many multi-parters. This is why I like Sonic Boom because they each episode is self contained and I can followed it with ease. When it comes to comics especially web comics (or any form of media in general) one needs to have some sort of balance. For example Brawl In The Family has a good sense of that when it comes to their comics they always have one-shots as well as entertaining and often heart warming story arcs. Granted I am rather sad that the series has ended, but maybe it's for the best.
