@98.18.59.230: Well, whether you like it or not, Archie is indeed canon, since it's supported by SEGA ever since it's inception in the early 90s. It's just simply a different universe from the games made by Sonic Team. "Making Amy seem more crazy than she actually is"? If you ask me she acts quite similar to her game counterpart, and is in fact maturing as a character lately. You're still not providing any solid evidence regarding this matter to support what you're saying about this. Then again, I thought this was about Sally upsetting Amy, not Archie downplaying her for whatever reason?

For someone who claims to love the comics you seem more than willing to bash them, state how "too many people believe everything from the comics" and dismiss their canocity (assuming this is the correct word to use) on a dime, in an all-caps rant no less. I'm sorry, but I'm having a bit of a hard time believing you when you say that you actually like the comics.

"I just don't like it when people make fan-characters that are in love with mainstreams who already have a love interest."

Like I said before, the comics are indeed canon, but they're not in the same canon as the games are since the comics are set in their own universe. That means that any Archie-created Sonic characters are canon as well, including Sally. And which "mainstreams" already had love interests in the games? SonAmy isn't canon since it has yet to actually happen in any official Sonic continuity, so it's just as much as a speculatory fan couple as most other Sonic fan couples are, and affection seen in SonAmy is usually one-sided on Amy's part anyway. Compared to couples like SonAlly (which, of course, is an official couple since it's happened in an official Sonic continuity that's supported by SEGA), SonAmy doesn't really hold much water. If you had just said that you simply didn't agree with the kind of romance seen in SonAlly, I wouldn't have much of a problem with you disliking it because everyone is entitled to like what they want to like in romance.

Amy being a 12 year old in a 16 year old's body occured because Archie needed to adapt the characters' designs in a way that doesn't look like it happened for no reason. Amy had her design updated when she made a wish on an ancient artifact known as the stone of Acorns (I think that's what it's called...) to be older so she can help out with the Freedom Fighters, which caused her to obtain her current design in the comics now. Does that clear up any confusion you may have had?
