Ugh

It’s one minor detail that doesn’t add s**t to the story, Sonic fans are always nitpicking the most unimportant things… like goddamn.

Oh no, Amy is actually showing character development and isn't just a fully regressed version of her character from the Adventure games?

Like Amy offering Sonic a cupcake and Sonic just ignoring it is so funny and cute imo.

It really doesn't matter. It added nothing to the story and no one cared until they changed it

I care.

Don't get me wrong, I agree her lovesick behaviour is pretty much a running gag that has run into the ground, but it's still a pivotal part of her personality that she openly and honestly loves Sonic the Hedgehog. And I admire that about her as a fictional love-interest for Sonic. At least she's open and honest about her feelings, than ship-teasing us with unresolved sexual tension, secret crush bullcrap.

In Sonic Generations, we clearly see this with her attempts to glomp Sonic in the birthday opening scene and when she's rescued, her wish to flirt with him.

It is something we all know, something that's been established since 1995. Amy Rose loves Sonic and shows it on her sleeve.

But, if Sonic X Shadow Generations are going to retcon the birthday opening scene where she doesn't attempt to hug Sonic or her rescue dialogue, to make it that they're just friends. Well to me, that's not retconning, that's "lying". Both to those who haven't played Sonic Generations before and to those who have.

If they don't want Amy hounding after Sonic any more, then sure, but at least make it more organic for her and not be completely removed from it. IDW#2 best exemplifies this.

This Amy still tells Sonic she loves him, but puts her responsibilities for the Restoration first before her desires with Sonic, especially after Sonic offers for her to come with him on his adventure. Both are showing maturity here.

But I don't want Sonic Team pretending Amy never liked Sonic that much and enforcing that lie through Sonic Generations.

I mean, why? Is Amy's love for Sonic no longer "cool" or "PC"?

I bet Disney would never pull this crud with Minnie Mouse.

And then she tells Classic that Sonic is cute, but he keeps getting cuter like

@Mystic Monkey I completely agree with you!

I'm sick of this.

Ah yes. Her character is now ruined because she is no longer the creepy love stuck stalker anymore. Something fans honestly found annoying about her since like Adventure.

Like seriously, how does this "ruin" her character?

In the opening cutscene, she still cares about Sonic (wanting to hug him, being close to him, and handing him cupcakes, honestly the change make Sonic look less mean (for lack of ability to use more adult term), since he isn't shoving hand in her face, but she still love Sonic)

And she doesn't flirt with him as hard, ok? Like she still like Sonic guys, she just isn't the creepy stalker anymore (for good reasons, because that character architect kinda sucks).

Like, the only thing we didn't like about the changes was how they didn't fully reanimated the cutscene (both because Shadow's cutscene are very expressive and fluent, so it kinda makes the base cutscene kinda stiff, and because changes like this or Knuckles classic Sonic cutscene look less odd)
