Have you ever considered that Sonic heading towards an early grave is because such negative attitudes are breaking Sonic down? I don't mind your opinion, but can't you it kept to yourselves and not smite it on others who is actually enjoying Sonic and ruin that experience?

Sonic means a lot to me and though I may not agree with everything Sega does, I ultimately let bygones be bygones and find some positivity in what is given. Why can nobody else just accept that stuff happens that you cant change and just roll with it, because that is all we can do, instead of fighting and ruining it every step of the way. You might realize that it is not so bad after all. Sonic and all his universes means a lot to me, so if you don't like it, just do us passionate fans a favor and leave, because some of us are enjoying and can spread that enjoyment instead of breaking it down. You seem to have the impression that I hate Sonic in general or something. That is not true or else I wouldn't spend so much time here.

I understand what you mean about negative attitudes toward Sonic in general and while I often rip on Sticks for being a Conspiracy nut, I do believe that the reason for Sonic's dip in popularity is because of Nintendo's shenanigans in order to get Sonic fans to like Nintendo more. I don't have any solid evidence to back me up on it though just logical business reasons why they would. It's just a theory of mine. (It's like, whenever theres a new Sonic game thats actually good, critics say "AWESOME! THIS WILL SAVE THE SERIES! NICE!" and then the next Sonic game which is okay, critics are "BAD! THIS KILL THE SERIES!" as if Sonic has 0 rep every new game. Whats with that?)

I like Sonic. THE Sonic. I enjoy his games and when it comes to being a Sonic fan and keep up with the stories and lore in the games even if it is limited compared to cartoons and comics. I have enjoyed pass Sonic cartoons like AoSTH, SatAM and Underground and I was once on subscription to Sonic the Comic until it stopped publishing. at the time I didn't realise about seperate continuity and when I did my attention and interest became fix on Sonic himself.

When it comes to honest oppinion I can't deny a bad cartoon when I see one nor poor story writting for comics. This is why I've been complaining a lot of late over Sonic Boom and Archie Sonic because it's a double heap of WTF? I complain because I expect better because I know Sega can and have acomplished such things for cartoons and comics based on Sonic, such as AoSTH or popular past Archie stories. Why must we suffer a dumbinng down of Sonic entertainment when in the 90s it was better? It also concerns me what impression these cartoons and comics have on our younger Sonic fans as well. Such as Archies excuse to reset Mobius by mashing one timeline onto another as decent storywritting or just some picking out a basic idea and filling it with random pointless gags for an average Sonic Boom episode.

Yes I also complained about Sonic Lost World despite being immensly popular but my reasons is because the gameplay is not to par with what Sega can really do but I am suspicious that theyre not entirely to blame either, as said Nintendo Shenanigans I can't proove.

Now I know to some I am just spouting more hot air. That it is a matter of oppinions and that what is appropriate to what I as an individual like shouldn't be used for everyones expectations, I get it, I have seen such lessons on Ponychan. If people enjoy watching poopy shows then by all means, I won't stop them. The point I am making is that I won't say what is poop without my reasons. Even if it is of Sonic because I love Sonic so much that I should be honest with him just as much as I should be honest with myself.

I will however apologize if my oppinions have been a drag and all, but as long as I am asked for my oppinions then I will be honest about them. And here I thought that I was the only one who was honestly bothered by Archie's choice on the storytelling department. The storytelling is comparible to monks not sure how to finish writing the Holy Bible and decide to copy-paste pages from Book of Mormon to it and hope no one will notice. Now that would be quite problematic, wouldn't it, good sir?

While not in such a holy sense (I considered using othe rholy books but thought best to soften my analogies unless I go around with a Flame Shield), it's how I see it. An unfinished story in one hand, a brand new story in the other... http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj619/Pilot_31/tumblr_lmputme3co1qa6q7k_large.png
