I also find over-used cliche's boring and mostly bad.

But my favourate cliché I like which excuse recolours, is the "evil double" cliché. And while I disagree with Penders over "different motives or personality", I liked how when Anti-Sonic became Scourge, he decided to become more of his own hedgehog but being just as fast and as predictable as Sonic, still used that against Sonic to be his evil double. Im fine with how Scourge is written but I only dislike his design and origins of being a double and having the writers work themselves up from there rather than coming up with an all new original character AND design like Razor the Shark and such.

Everyone got really ticked off when Penders claimed Evil Sonic (Not the Scourge re-color) even though he also claimed he wasnt going to use it in any of his books even though he could. He knows he is wrong, and now he believes its too risky to use it but is just too stuck up to say otherwise. Claiming an evil double as your own is like getting Pikachu, giving him a Snidely Whiplash hat and mustache and claiming "Uhcakip" as a completely original character.

This is why I compare Penders to Chris-Chan who believes combining Sonic with Pikachu makes an entirely original character.

It's also why I'd be totally OK if Scourge and maybe Dr. Finitevus be replaced with Ashura and Wechnia given not only would they fit the part being the right kind of recolours to replace the roles, but have some tie-in to the games, albeit as glitches than canon.
