Rise of Lyric is the main game, right? Then how come Lyric is in Shattered Crystal? Didn't they free him in the beginning and beat him at the end of RoL? Weren't they all like "Teamwork ftw" in RoL and went the complete opposite route in both SC and the TV show with the characters arguing about who's in charge and Tails being Sonic's "sidekick"? How is that supposed to work if RoL is a prequel to both? Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was one thing, a single TV show. It only had to get continuity in itself but Sonic Boom is an entire spin-off franchise that has no right to be this disjointed. AoStH at least didn't treat the heroes like jokes. Knuckles and Sticks in Boom are nothing but joke generators. "Haha, he's stupid and incompetent, get the joke?" "Haha, she screams random stuff in a grating voice that turns out to be true, isn't that hilarious?" The personalities of Tails and especially Amy vary from episode to episode and Sonic is a bored jerk for the most part. Our heroes, everybody! Pretty sure that they can save the worl.., uh, I mean the deserted island far away from the mainland with no significance whatsoever that has about 20 people on it who act like jerks most of the time. In AoStH, they made the villains stupid and incompetent and gave them annoying voices, but you're not supposed to be rooting for them and the personalities of the characters were consistent. Plus this show mostly got it's comedy from slapstick and you can work slapstick into pretty much every story without ruining it, that doesn't work for flat characters though. To do a half-decent saga, they would have to go a more RoL route with the writing and that route isn't used in the TV show.
