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.

And more SonAmy shipping moments? Really? I know you're not the only seeing this and I'm not trying to be a jerk, but these SonAmy moments can barely be called SonAmy moments. 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.

I'm okay with them showing Angel Island as long as the don't do that awful, horrible, terrible plot with the idiot/loser trying to impress his parents and his friends helping him but in the end his parents find out he's a loser and the outcome has no impact on the character whatsoever. 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.
