I agree. The end of Sonic 2 is probably the most difficulty I've had with a Sonic game. In general though, I find that Sonic games tend to not nearly be as difficult as many other platform games. Like, compare classic Sonic games with classic Mario games for instance.

I tend to think of all the games as taking place in the same continuity with the exceptions of Spinball, Mean Bean Machine and the Boom games.

Honestly, this is an uprising sparked by a black man being killed by a white cop. When has any uprising caused by such an event disproportionately been commited by white people? Never, to the best of my knowledge.

That sounds extremely unlikely.

So I've been watching Hunter X Hunter recently. It's good, but am I the only one who feels like the show is almost kinda to smart? By that I mean that sometimes the narrative gets so preoccupied with intricate games featuring intricate rules that this elements overshades everything else. Like, my God, sometimes the narrator will just go on and on and on and on with exposition and it gets kinda frustrating.

And of course people have used the protests as an excuse to loot. Jesus Christ, some people. What the fuck does stealing a TV have to do with fighting racism? 🙄

Personally, I actually agree with both the "old Amy was annoying" and the "new Amy is bland" notions. So basically, I don't think much of the character in general.

Just a reminder that flanderization isn't always bad. Ned Flanders himself would never have become one of The Simpsons most popular characters if he hadn't turned ultra-religious. That's what makes him funny.

I forgot about the movie. But yeah, it wouldn't be surprising if a lot of the kiddies that went to see it will soon enough start flocking to the online fanbase. Time will tell.

Per TV Tropes lingo, a newbie boom is when a franchise sees a sudden major influx of new fans. You know, like what happaned to the Lord of the Rings fanbase once the movies were released. And I'm wondering, when was the last time the Sonic franchise saw such a boom? I'm asking because honestly, personally, I'm iffy regarding whether the series has actually seen such an event in over 15 years. I think the last major newbie boom was the one that took place in circa 2001-2004 due to the combined efforts of the Gamecube ports of the Adventure games and the airing of Sonic X. Or am I wrong? I suppose certain releases could potentially have sparked similar reactions, such as Generations or the Boom cartoon, but I'm not sure if they actually did.

Digimon has a special place in my heart as it was one of the very last of my childhood cartoons. I think it started airing here in Sweden around 2000 or 2001, at which point I was 13 or 14. I didn't watch it religiously, but what I saw of it was entertaining, and I could tell that it was objectively a better show than it's rival Pokémon. Pokémon was fun as a phenomenon (I loved trading the cards, playing the games, ect) but as a show it was very bland.

This thread... so many lost members. I miss Frozen Nitrogen. 😪 In regards to the topic, nobody is a bigger bully than Eggman. I mean, he enslaves and kills people to get what he wants. A person doesn't get much worse than that.

I never played the game, but didn't Amy once threatened Cream with violence in Sonic Battle? Because if so, then that's definitely going way to far with the whole psycho-angle.

On the whole, the Boom franchise was a dud. The TV series was well written though, and Tails strangely managed to stay more in-character in that show than in the Pontaff-games.

The characters official ages is one of those things that I've always been fickle about. And the very simple fact is that, in terms of the games, classic Sonic was said to be 16, but with the modern redesign his age was ret-conned as 15. It's as simple as that.
