The gift that keeps on giving

>>132157986
It may be hard to see but Eggman is quite pleased.

>>132157986
Wait, didn't we already do the Sonic VS Knuckles comic where they get the power of Dark Gaia?

>>132158015
What could that be?

>>132158015
>>132158029
Ohhh, never mind.

>>132158034
Sonic's pretty hyped!
>>132158003

>>132158029
We did the first chapter of it. There's two more that came out. Looks like it'll be weekly.

>>132157986

>>132158050
Aww, they look happy to see each other!

>>132158070

>>132158064
ROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAR

>>132158015
Eggman is enjoying his plot to make the Mobians even more furry.

>>132158034
>literally using a Dark Gaia minion + Chaos Emeralds as a fuel source
I'm sure this will end well.

>Its a webstool
I hate this format

>>132158133
They're your friends too, Shadow.

>>132158170
Time to die Eggman!

>>132158170
The welcoming committee is here!

>>132158173
same, scrolling through is annoying

>>132158188
Does Eggman really think a bunch of Egg-Pawns will stop them?

>>132158173
>>132158189
Basically the curse of the Webtoons format.

>>132158188
Omega's jealousy meter is spiking and he doesn't know why.
>>132158173
It's not my favorite but I'll take it over nothing.
>>132158180

>>132158209
Shadow's pissed and wereSonic is having fun.
>>132158208
>Does Eggman really think a bunch of Egg-Pawns will stop them?
At the very least they slow his guests down but these seem to be stronger than normal.

We better get were-forms for the other three out of this.

>>132158209
Omega is definitely feeling a lot of RAGE right now.

>>132158218
With Sonic's decreased speed as a werehog, I'd say Knuckles would have an advantage.

>>132158189
Not just scrolling you can't do much of anything interesting with one panel per page and most of the time there's barely even a background, they have to make everything big for smartphones so every fight is a close-up, there's probably more problems but whatever, i'll stop souring the thread

>>132158218
>Shadow releasing his inhibitors
Oh fuck. Those must be some strong Egg-Pawns.

And Sonic has gone full BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD now, so he's no help.

>>132158233
If this was IDW, Knuckles would have a lot more stuff to pin on Sonic. And he wouldn't be wrong.
>>132158227
>We better get were-forms for the other three out of this.
I want EVERYONE to have were-forms!

>>132158233
Knuckles is shockingly reasonable as a were-echidna.

>>132158254
Going up! Again.
>>132158245
At the very least it speeds up the process of busting badniks.

>>132158272
Eggman, you got some splainin' to do!

>>132158254
E-Even the mobini and the Chao?

>>132158284
Support them anyway you can or want!
>>132158259
I like rational Knuckles. At least they're both not totally out of it.

>>132158284
>Shadow: Or do you want me to piss on your wife again?

>>132158299
RIP CUBOT AND ORBOT
>>132158288
Everyone. Even a hulked out Tower making a cameo.

>>132158311
Shoot him, Shadow! Figure out how to reverse things later!

>>132158254
>>132158299
The worst thing the were-forms seem to do is elevate their anger and abrasiveness. Which, combined with them already hyped up from a sparring match, means they're just looking for any excuse to throttle each other.

>>132158325
Do you have a phantom ruby you can mix into that as well?

>>132158339
>eggman: i trademarked that name, too! i get royalties for every issue of this series!

>>132158311
ORBOT AND CUBOT ARE FUCKING DEAD

I think this is one of the rare few comics where they actually get killed.

>Everyone. Even a hulked out Tower making a cameo.
Honestly, a comic where everyone gets permalocked into were-forms could be cool. Sorta like the endgame of the Metal Virus with everyone and everything being converted, but everyone still has their minds and personalities. They're just angrier and fluffier.

>>132158405

>>132158444

>>132158444
Mobians can survive atmospheric re-entry and the void of space, so they'll be fine.

>>132158426
Omega would've killed him by now. And shot his body some more.

>>132158426
>>132158441
He was stunned at the revelation that Eggman was evil all along

>>132158458
Oh Shadow, you should've gone for the head.

>>132158458
Smug Eggman.

>>132158471
>being smug at a consolation prize
Should've killed him when you had the chance, Shadow.

>>132158484
And what is that?

>>132158471
You could have killed him Shadow, damn it.

>>132158484
He's gotta take his wins somehow. Even if he fucked it all up to begin with by not just blowing his brains out.

>>132158502
And that's the end of this issue! Looks like it updates every Monday so we'll hopefully have the next one next week. Now let's move on...

>>132158521
Now let's get a brief glimpse at Light Mobius. This is a cursed timeline but it has promise.

https://www.deviantart.com/dsai-andrew

Also, Gaia Complex updates every Friday.

>>132158551
The major difference here is that Julie-Su isn't with Knuckles, it's instead Tikal. And considering she ends up as a monster and imprisoned that makes things worse for him.

>>132158565
TWINS BORN just doesn't have the same ring as TRIPLETS BORN.

>>132158422

Went back to reading some Archie issues, decided to read the Knuckles comic since they kept crossing it over with the main issues. I'm honestly at a loss on how to explain it. The Sonic issues are decent, some are pretty great, others are meh, but almost the entire Knuckles run was bizarre:

-A city of Echidna's is suddenly a thing.
-All those random guardians they kept introducing, and mostly did nothing
-Pretty much everything involving Knuckles and his people
-So many fucking issues where characters are just talking about random shit and doing NOTHING at all, my favorite are Locke (Knuckles dad) who will sometimes ramble about wanting to help or do something for his son, only to do nothing at all or change his mind for the most asinine of reasons.
-The run also ends on a meh note, I got to the last page only to go "That's it? This is how you chose to end your comic?"
-Everything involving Julie-Su, she's just introduced and shoved into the cast awkwardly, then they try having her get with Knuckles with the "soul touch" bullshit. Seriously, for most the run she just exists, and I honestly had no clue why she even stuck around.

>>132158582
The 30 Years Later Sonic Universe arc covers all of this with the only difference being Julie-Su and Tikal.

>>132158565

I'm not surprised after seeing so many edit variants of the future issue. There's one that replaces Sally with Amy. Some of them replace Julie-Su with Tikal. Another replacing Mina with Cream. And there are combined versions of those. It's crazy.

>>132158593
>that Tikahos face in the fourth panel

>>132158597
JJJ pls.

>>132158647
A bittersweet ending. Now there's seven pages for a story that takes place in Light Mobius. First four pages were already translated. This summary and the remaining pages were translated by a helpful anon that translated Tails Forces.

>>132158670
Light Mobius would be a great place to really go crazy with stuff like powers and OC's. No more Eggman so you can use other villains or make your own.
>>132158655
Vacation time for all of us!

>>132158633
Someone is 100% jacking it to those were-forms. No doubt about it.

>>132158647
It's honestly fascinating how crazy the official Light Mobius stuff made people, to the point they'd outright write out characters like Sally, Julie-Su or Mina, regardless of how it imapcts the overall plot to force their ships. Fascinating, but also sad.

Tails getting with Cream sounds fucky in a different way than him getting with MIna.
But, maybe I'm just letting a certain fanwork live rent free in my head.

>>132158719
Not that many Sonic characters have powers, at least not in Archie when you think about it. Most were just skilled in conventional ways. Might be better to introduce more naturally powerful characters.

>>132158699

We end this on a cute note. This page came out in January so while it's been a while since the artist made a page (they're currently doing lewd commissions it seems) there's still a chance we'll get more. Now for the last story for the night.

kinda wish there was more comics about the light mobius i liked the concept and i wanted to see more of the future freedom fighters

>>132158742
Most of the more mystically inclined characters were amongst the Guardians or things closely tied to them like the Ancient Walkers. There were other people gifted with powers, but generally not a very massive amount.

Personally, I always interpret more powers cropping up in kids across Mobius as just being a sort of thing that happens with more and more generations over time.

>I can see Tails and Cream working
I can’t, honestly.
It’s like saying “hey, let’s pair these two characters who have absolutely 0 common interests but whose personality is exactly the same.”
Pairing the most meek, milquetoast, gentle character with the other most meek, milquetoast, gentle character is the most boring shit you could ever come up with - it’s not wonder there are so few comics actually focusing on this pairing instead of having them in the background as a pair the spares copout for Sonamy comics, and those that do exist are always horrifically out of character. It requires you to rewrite Cream’s personality from scratch either to make her have any reason at all to hang out with Tails, or lobotomise Tails and have him act like a 6-year old who colors with crayons and hasn’t learned his ABCs, to justify him hanging out with Cream because if you don’t pretend that Tails acts like a toddler then you can’t come up with any reason the team mechanic would hang out with the team toddler.

It always comes across as very forced and that’s why I’m not surprised there’s so few comics actually about them. Very few people actually obsess about them specifically, they’re just a cutesy pair the spares aesthetic for when fans of other characters wanna pair Amy and Rouge with Sonic and Knuckles and wanna force Tails to cleanly fit that triumvirate without being concerned if it’s at all interesting.
As it stands Tails doesn’t have a well-made or intended love interest who suits his character. I wish people would just accept that or maybe wait for one to exist before forcing him to be rewritten just to badly fit Cream because they think they look cute in the background.

>>132160809

Post-Colors maybe. Before that? Nah.

>or lobotomise Tails and have him act like a 6-year old who colors with crayons and hasn’t learned his ABCs, to justify him hanging out with Cream because if you don’t pretend that Tails acts like a toddler then you can’t come up with any reason the team mechanic would hang out with the team toddler.
Both AOSTH and SatAM Tails (as well as early Archie) act like actual kids their age, so you could easily pair them up with Cream if you truly wanted to enforce the ship from this perspective.

>>132160809
Kind of feels like you just don’t like Cream.

>>132160809
I don't really ship characters but from what I've seen it does feel that more often than not, Tails and Cream get paired up because "they would look cute together" and not much more than that so I agree to some extent.

>>132161206
It's Tails posting from one of his 700 proxies.

>>132160809
They’ve never even spoken to eachother in the games or in Archie, lol. Which probably makes sense

>>132162011
Cosmo wasn’t intended to be Tails’ love interest until more than halfway through the season, which is why they were also so forced. The only reason they liked eachother was because they were nice to eachother, which is a terrible basis to stand on when literally everyone was nice to Cosmo

>>132160809
>... and those that do exist are always horrifically out of character.
My only gripe with this critique, is that most contrarians to a particular ship use it to no end, but then completely ignore it if it applies to a pairing they like. Seems very dishonest.

>>132161663
>>132161275
Like 90% of Sonic Ships, they are the result of pic related.
Oh, and 9% is just characters who exchanged a few words... and don't you don't want to imagine if they happen to touch bodies.

>>132162061
Shut the fuck up Ian.

>>132162076
>Like 90% of Sonic Ships, they are the result of pic related
No they’re not, because Tails and Cream have barely even appeared in the same scene together. They don’t even satisfy that logic.

A lot of ships can work if written well and since we're in a fancomic thread then that shouldn't be a surprise. We had an Espio and Blaze comic that was actually good.

>>132162086
Looks like someone's ship probably falls under that category (Not referring to CreamTails, just in case, referring to another one still unknown to us).

You know exactly what I mean by that Bob's Burgers meme, so stop pretending. Tails and Cream already stand next to each other more than enough in Sonic X, anyway.

This is an undeniable truth. Even the crackiest of crackships can work if written well.

The real question is... what constitutes good writing?

>>132162128

Got it, Cream needs a dad.

>>132162097
There was also that one comic with a Nciole and Espio kid, and whilst we never saw his parents, it was still apparently a ship that happened.

>>132162152
That's Vector.

>>132162158
>it was still apparently a ship that happened.
Anon, I knew some fujos who shipped Tails and Metal Sonic back in the early 2000's.

The logic?
>Tails likes machines
>Tails likes Sonic

>>132162158
>That's Vector.
B-but... Sonic is grabbing Vanilla in that one scene... t-that means they l-love each other and are meant for each other!!

>>132162158
>>132162180
>let's check out what's the most frequent ship on e621
ho

This isn’t a uniquely Cream thing. Tails doesn’t have any relationship with any of the girls. He barely has a relationship with the boys.
>Amy: has never spoken to Tails about anything that isn’t Sonic. Not even friends, just mutual “Sonic’s shitty friends”

Like maybe the problem is Tails just needs to do something without Sonic there, every once in a while.

>>132162180
By that logic, Sonic has bred Amy several thousand times and has had enough kids to fill 10 football stadiums.

>>132162171
Fucking wild.

>>132162192
The only version of Tails who has anything close to a functional relationship with the other boys is Movie, and that's purely in the sense that they're brothers. He might have more (and better) characterization and relationships than in the games, but Movie Tails likewise lacks any romantic relationship options that can be seen from a shipping standpoint.

This sort of thing is pretty much a problem of Sega being trash and incapable of allowing anyone to have a proper identity or connections beyond "friends with Sonic" and sharing the same space occasionally.

>>132162213
The movie was this good

>>132162215
There are people who hate the dance and bar scenes, but they gave Tails necessary expanded characterization and identity beyond "kid who just follows Sonic". Movie Tails would be just as bland and without clear identity as the game continuity's version if they didn't take the time to give him and Knuckles all this little character moments.

>>132162213
I wouldn't pin it all down to how SEGA want the franchise to be, other characters have friendships away from Sonic. I don't mean romance, just friendships.
Amy and Cream are their own duo (sometimes)
Team Dark is the best team this series has ever made
The Chaotix are their own trio, whether for comic relief or otherwise
Knuckles and Rouge are rivals, and the comics show Knuckles and Shadow as rivals, and he has his backstory with the Echidna families and the Nocturnus
Eggman and Metal are father and son
But Tails is just a keychain. He's the one character it feels like SEGA don't want to associate with anyone else or have a life outside of Sonic, and it's annoying as all hell.

>>132162234
Refusing to let Tails have a life or interpersonal friendships outside of Sonic has got to be one of the weirdest things SEGA has ever gotten anal about. No wonder people are always characterizing him as a psycho who needs Sonic around to keep him from completely ruining everything in his path.

>>132162192
>Like maybe the problem is Tails just needs to do something without Sonic there, every once in a while.
Unlikely in any official capacity. Or anything as far removed from Sonic Team as possible. Maybe Tails can get another pen pal.

>>132162234
>Sonic "dies" in Sonic Forces, leaving Tails alone
>portal opens up
>Classic Sonic spins out to be Tails' new buttbuddy

>>132162271
>Or maybe something as far removed from Sonic Team as possible.
Let me word that differently. Tails' character will improve the farther away he gets from modern Sonic Team. He did alright in the past.

>>132162234
The thing for me is that certain people seem to think that the characters remain static and don't move or do anything in between games.

Can one say with a 100% conviction that Tails and Amy absolutely don't interact in their daily life? Or that they absolutely don't get along?

And I'm not saying like meet up every day, but cross paths from time to time and even have a chat, or Amy asking for Tails to fix a clock or fridge.

>>132162215
No offence
I'm dying of cringe
Seriously no offence, you can enjoy your stuff

>>132162535
Don’t worry anon, like 90% of everyone died of cringe at that scene. It’s even worse because it’s ripped off from Alvin and the Chipmunks 3, same song same damce same everything. It wasn’t bad enough they had to be cringy, they had to power their cringe with fucking Alvin and the Chipmunks.

>>132162320
This wouldn't be a complaint if we were ever actually shown them doing that. Sonic Team fumbles "show, don't tell" so bad that we literally have to speculate outside of canon.

>>132162581
I think you (and that other anon besides) just have shit taste.

>>132162591
This.

>>132162320
>And I'm not saying like meet up every day, but cross paths from time to time and even have a chat, or Amy asking for Tails to fix a clock or fridge.
Sorry, you're only allowed to have twitter Sonic sharing snacks with twitter Eggman.
If it wasn't for the comics you'd think they didn't know one another existed.

Crazy how many characters in Sonic have so little interaction with each other.

Speaking of shipping, who would Blaze's casual partner be? Who would take that hit for the team to keep her coming around to save the day at convenient junctures?
We all know no-one wants to move to her world and she can't stay on Mobius for longer than a one night stand.

>>132164283
Rouge, because she is made believe that the more breast milk she drinks directly from the sauce, the more her own breasts will grow

>>132164283
Isn’t it already Silver? Sonic media seems to regularly imply it, even in their themesongs in 06, though not yet hard-confirm.

>>132164765
Silver isn't always around and may one day not return if Sonic and his boomer generation stop literally destroying the world.

>>132160809
Finally someone who gets why the pair sucks. May as well pair Tails/Rouge and justify it around them being smart and crafty.

>>132162192
>Wave: Arch-Rivals…in 2008. Have never spoken or met since
Looks like someone havent played sonic riders at all because there is a scene where wave interacted with tails

>>132165093
Finally someone who gets that pairing Tails/Cream is just as stupid and nonsensical as Tails/Rouge

>>132165221
yeah but Tails and Rouge is hot.
Plus they have a complementary dynamic.

>>132165093
>>132165221
>>132165249
yeah Tails and Rouge are fun because one's a nice sweet boy and the other's manipulative and mean
I don't really care about how much they actually meet in the games, but Tails and Cream just will never do it because it's nice and sweet kid with nice and sweet kid. Cream is just a genderbent Tails but without any interest in tech. Where's the clash? It's boring as fuck, there is no dynamic.

>>132165249
Hmmm...
>>132162076
>"Most contrarians to a particular ship use it to no end, but then completely ignore it if it applies to a pairing they like."
>"Seems very dishonest."

>>132165221
Yea. They're both retarded. With how Sega writes, it'd make more sense for Tails to just stick an onahole on Metal than either of them.

>>132165249
I admit it'd be more interesting to read than T/C fanfic even if it is a reach and reqauires ignoring R/K, R/S, or R/M.E.

>>132165339

>>132165221
"Tails/Cream is just as stupid and nonsensical as Tails/Rouge"
>>132165249
>"yeah but Tails and Rouge is hot."
The hypocrisy lies in trying to justify one over the other based solely on personal opinion and tastes.

People who like Tails and Cream may like them because they are just cute and wholesome together. Maybe those people don't like powerplay, just characters that get along (And even if that is bland, they are entitled to like their bland shit).

In the end, in order to work, both ships need an equal amount of distortion to the character personalities anyway.

>>132165466
>both ships need an equal amount of distortion to the character personalities anyway
They don't though. Rouge already likes to tease Tails in multiple games, and Tails seems to be attracted to her. They've fought and interacted a bunch of times.That's an actual basis for liking their dynamic.
Cream and Tails have literally barely even spoken to eachother, ever, across the entire series. They have no dynamic and have never done anything at all together.

>>132165369
>With how Sega writes, it'd make more sense for Tails to just stick an onahole on Metal than either of them.
So what you're saying is we need Rabbot to come back?

I just think /ss/ is kino

>>132165528
>Rouge already likes to tease Tails in multiple games,
Sonic Battle, where else? (You can count the kiss on Sonic X, if you like)
>and Tails seems to be attracted to her.
Game, scene?
>They've fought and interacted a bunch of times
I remember their fight in Sonic Battle, are you counting the encounters in Heroes? After that, what else?

>They have no dynamic and have never done anything at all together.
Pic related, which you will probably dismiss because it goes against your headcanon.

>>132165466
>The hypocrisy lies in trying to justify one over the other based solely on personal tastes.
The irony is that the TailsRouge shippers are the first to laugh at other Sonicfags triggered by that ship.

Yet, here are a few seemingly very triggered over TailsCream... which, come on, isn't even a threat to them... or is it?

>>132165598
>I just think /ss/ is kino
If only they were as honest as you are.

>>132165615
Are you arguing for or against anon, or just factuality?

>>132165615

Sonic Battle, X, Chronicles
>Game, scene?
Battle, Tails losing cutscene, X, tournament arc
>I remember their fight in Sonic Battle, are you counting the encounters in Heroes? After that, what else?
Sonic Battle, Riders, Chronicles, Rivals 2, IDW
>Pic related
wow, so standing next to eachother counts as a dynamic now? Color me astounded
>>132165641
I'm fucking fine with people liking Tails and Cream, none of this matters. I just think it's boring, me liking one thing and not a different thing is not an attack on you, stop acting like an eternal victim.

>>132165722
>I'm fucking fine with people liking Tails and Cream, none of this matters
Excellent, you could start acting like you claim.

>I just think it's boring, me liking one thing and not a different thing is not an attack on you, stop acting like an eternal victim.
Well, I'm not the one triggered because my ship was called stupid and nonsensical

>Rouge teases Tails in Chronicles
Do you have the scene?

>Battle, Tails losing cutscene, X, tournament arc
So, headcanon.

>Riders, Chronicles, Rivals 2, IDW
Very well, haven't played Rivals 2 and Free Riders (Because Rouge was just multiplayer in the other 2), so I'll take your word that they interact and fight.

>wow, so standing next to each other counts as a dynamic now?
I love how you delude yourself into thinking Tails seems to be attracted to Rouge, yet you can't use your active imagination to draw some conclusions as to what is happening in the stills of the Advance 3 Epilogue.

>>132165696
At this point, I suppose just factuality?
But truth to be told? I'm not even sure myself at this point. He lost me with the "Tails seems to be attracted to her".

>>132165872
>So, headcanon.
In case you need my take on those scenes:
Sonic Battle
>"Young boy gets flustered over mature lady teasing him"
Sonic X
>funny reaction to what is obviously intended as a gag.

>>132165872
>Tails is blushing and stammering madly at her kiss in Battle, has literal love hearts flying and his tongue turned into a heart shape in the X Battle adaptation, then passes out
>"n-no you're just delusional if you think Tails budding lovehearts at Rouge are meant to show attraction!"
lol

>>132165912
kek, beat you by 5 seconds >>132165911

I have a felling that the fucker who keep posting tails and Rouge shit in /sthg/ is here on this thread

>>132165936
Poor Tails... trapped in a loveless relationship. At least the sex must be nice (for him).

Ahora, fuera de broma... igual me pregunto ¿cómo diantres google llega a tal conclusión?

>>132165911
>Young boy gets flustered over mature lady teasing him
Aka attraction. You don't start flying lovehearts and passing out at someone you aren't attracted kissing you

>>132159161
I like this new outfit, the oversized clothes emphasizes her innocent little girl look.
Hope to see her in action soon.

>>132166006
>You don't start flying lovehearts and passing out at someone you aren't attracted kissing you
You don't see much anime or read much manga, do you?
The flying heart is to represent the kiss not Tails reaction to it, just watch the clip and see the timing and position of the heart when it shows up. Tails reaction is the face he does.

Now, you could say Tails twisting his tongue as a heart could count, but again, I'll disagree because the whole thing is supposed to be a gag, but not like I will manage to make you understand the difference, anyway.
What I love is that Tails interacts with Cream way more than he does with Rouge in Sonic X, and they seem to get along quite well there, almost to the point of being... friends?

>>132166122
>Tails and Cream friends in Sonic X
Non-sense! They can't be friends!!

>>132166122
The scene being funny doesn't discount the fact it existed. Whether for a comedic "gag" or otherwise the scene implies that Tails is flustered because he is attracted. It was even an adaptation of the same kiss from Battle, just recontextualised because X's battle arc happened inside an arena.

>>132166122
>What I love is that Tails interacts with Cream way more than he does with Rouge in Sonic X
as a third-party to your conversation, they probably didn't. Or if they did, it'd be neck and neck. The only thing I even remember them doing specifically with eachother was building a sandcastle in the background of one of the episodes because Amy forced everyone to go to a beach.
Not arguing anything, just that X was terrible. An entire anime series about the Sonic characters literally living in the same house and yet the cast spend all their screentime doing shit with OC Humans instead of eachother. Atrocious.

>>132166190
>The scene being funny doesn't discount the fact it existed.
I'm not saying it didn't exist, I'm saying it was intended as a joke.

>the scene implies that Tails is flustered because he is attracted.
No, the scene implies Tails is flustered because he was kissed and by someone considered a hot lady in universe (and out of universe too, of course), just like in Battle.

Kids have different reactions to something like that, some will jump and scream "icky", others will turn red like Tails did in Battle, but at the end, it's all the same reason: they are embarrassed, like a kid would. Sonic X decided to change it by making Tails pass out as part of a gag of how Rouge managed to defeat him.

>>132166237
someone told me to watch X in Japanese because it fixes everything and it was equally as terrible if not more. And they do the cringy anime thing where the ending song is some melodramatic sad romance song with Amy and Sonic standing in the mist staring at eachother for 3 straight minutes with absolutely no realtion to the lyrics, it's almost comically tonedeaf compared to Gotta go Fast. Almost like the problem is the dull shitty episodes instead of just the music/dialogue.

>>132166237
They have more scenes together, actually. Like Tails being the one who figures out Cream is depressed because she wants to see her mom (through a flashback of him going to see her pick up flowers). And they also played together in the water in that same beach episode, Tails was playfully splashing Cream with his Tails.

But, yes, I absolutely agree with you. Even though I liked X, I do agree it was terrible. Specially, a terrible waste... which is sad, cause I really enjoyed their adaptation of SA and SA2, even with Chris forced into the plot.

>>132164846
There's not going to be a case where Sonic and his generation aren't wrecking the world, no matter how much Silver convinces himself.

>>132165696
Just base factuality so contrarian shippers can be held accountable for their raw hypocrisy.

>>132166237
He and Cream do in fact spend significantly more time together than they do anywhere else, moreso than what time Tails and Rouge spend interacting. But overall, Sonic X is garbage that does every character dirty.

>>132166470
In fairness that's like saying 0.000000000000001 is above 1. This >>132160809 anon is entirely right, they really don't have a dynamic. But also this >>132162192 anon for the fact Tails doesn't have a dynamic with anyone

>>132166507
*is above 0, fuck.
Time for bed.

>>132165872
>what is happening in the stills of the Advance 3 Epilogue
Let's see:
>After finding Gmerl in the beach, Vanilla and Cream take it to Tails for repairs
>Seeing Tails expression, he happily agrees to the task
>Seeing Cream, she probably wanted to see how he did it, and asked Tails if that was OK, to which he probably said yes
>Cheese is seeing carrying a wrench, meaning he and Cream are probably assisting (or trying to assist) Tails by bringing him equipment he may need
>Cream seems eager and curious, which goes along with ther Sonic Channel profile that states and I quote: "She is a hard worker who works hard at everything she does, and has a thirst for knowledge and curiosity."

>this thread

>>132166600
happens every time someone mentions Rouge and Tails in the same sentence. nice digits, btw

>>132166507
Well, yeah. Like I said before, the only version of Tails who has any significant interactions with other characters is Movie Tails and that's currently limited to his family. Modern Tails doesn't have a functioning dynamic with anyone other than Sonic and that's only as "the sidekick" nowadays.

I guess if you really want to say there's a dynamic he has, it would be with Cosmo. But I wouldn't really call that "functioning" since he couldn't admit that he loved her before she had to die.

>>132166559
>and has a thirst for knowledge and curiosity.
>Tails is an inventor with a great wealth of knowledge and understanding, and has been on many adventures
So there's a chance.

>>132166611
Believe it or not, the ones to blame are those that said Cream and Tails this time

>>132166660
Actually I'm putting the blame on >>132160809 for blowing it up and the anons arguing over game canon in this thread of all places. We've even done comics that paired Tails with Cream although I don't remember if there was complaining about it then. If you're one of the anons arguing over this then do everyone a favor and just stop.

>>132166652
>So there's a chance.
If certain Sonicfags actually took the time to read the damn profiles in the official site of the franchise (even if one doesn't read Japanese, GoogleTranslate/DeepL do a fine job), they would understand the characters a little bit more than enough to make accurate conjecture regarding their relationships.

>>132162192
Well he might do. Sinse you can't say anything definitive about sonic characters because even if something seems solid it'll be contradicted next game, hense all the fan autism about what sonic "really is" or whatever the fuck

>>132167114
>Really is that the only character listed on Sonic Channel that Ian and company are not allowed to use is Sticks
Of course that doesn't mean they can just go and use whatever character whenever.

They probably need to propose a good story so Iizuka can greenlit an appearance by Tikal, Chaos, Gamma, Chip and other one-time characters.

Marine would be that case, the right story for her (In Iizuka's eyes, at least) was still not pitched to him until now.

I think it's a shame that a series that is aimed almost exclusively at kids, rarely has characters that kids can actually relate to.

Like I get the whole power fantasy aspect of the big strong cool teenagers, but I think its a good opportunity for Tails to interact with the other kids and form some kind of connection. It's not fair his only relationship to people

Like seriously, when was the last time Tails actually acted like an 8 yr old? Not only would this good for the boy to get out of the lab & open up, but it'll help develop characters like Cream,Charmy & Marine. Or just give him OC kids to be his nakama - but Tails needs to spend less time with the grown ups. Who knows what corrupting influences he picked up from Sonic alone.


>>132162215
>>132162231
>. Movie Tails would be just as bland and without clear identity as the game continuity's version if they didn't take the time to give him and Knuckles all this little character moments.

It's almost like Tails was supposed the focus character according to all the marketting but then the studio got an A-List Celbrity to voice Captain K'Nuckles, so they switched up the focus on Sonic's first (non-metal) rival.

>>132168280
Sonic Team is clearly focusing on Sonic and giving everyone else the barest of scraps. You're only going to get expanded upon characterization in cartoons and comics.

>>132168280
Tails doesn't need to spend less time with the teenagers, he just needs to spend less time with Sonic. The teenagers are the main characters and the most interesting ones, and Tails is the sole young main character, so just let him hang out with the other mains sometimes. Fuck, he had his own rival in Wave back in 2010, let him butt heads with her again instead of being Sonic's redundant yes man.

>>132168280
Sonic Team will never ever let anyone other than Sonic get characterization. You need the other media for that.

>Who knows what corrupting influences he picked up from Sonic alone.
Tails already knew how to make napalm by hand and has committed several counts of murder in the games alone. He was always a bit psycho.

>>132168378
>Sonic
>characterization
lol
lmao

>>132168361
Agreed. Sonic himself is the most boring, empty, obnoxious character in the series and the fact Tails must be handcuffed to him at all times is mind-numbing.

>>132168397
By 'characterization', I mean the bare minimum of whatever they pull out of their ass and smear onto the flat cardboard caricature that is post-Colors Sonic, which is more than the rest of the cast get. I know that he stopped having actual character years ago.

>>132168108
I er, I don't see the pec lines as that but then I don't look at artists who depict that soooo I'll sit tight and not say anything.

>>132168280
Tails did get shafted a bit in the movie compared to the other two. However there might be a bit of hope for him, so according to the site that reported the existence of the Knuckles show before any one else, they also said that their source talked about there being a high chance of a Tails solo movie to be made if the success of the live action series continues. I want to believe but I also see this as something of a long shot.

It's pretty weird seeing how people are interpreting stuff they hear about Frontiers. The whole ghost Amy thing and the memories from that "leak" and people are really hyped for the game. Come to think it I think that's mainly from Sonamy shippers.

>Tails doesn't need to spend less time with the teenagers, he just needs to spend less time with Sonic.

But he only spends times with teenagers mostly because those teens want to spend time with Sonic. possibly. because they want to do disgusting, horny teenage things to him

While it's kinda funny for Tails to be Sonic's keeper, what's the harm in letting him have friends his own age?

>The teenagers are the main characters and the most interesting ones,
>Tails is the sole young main character, so just let him hang out with the other mains sometimes.

But outside of Sonic, the only other main teens are Amy & probably Knuckles. I trust that you are cognizant enough to realize that everyone else is just a glorified guest star.

Tails would only hang with Amy because she wants info on Sonic & Tails would only hang out with Knuckles if he has something to do in Angel Island.

Otherwise, the teens are about as interesting as Sonic - which is not much to harp
on.

>Fuck, he had his own rival in Wave back in 2010, let him butt heads with her again instead of being Sonic's redundant yes man.

As much as I'd like the comeback of the Rogues, I would much prefer a rival that doesn;t have /ss/ overtones.

He needs a bully character to puts him down & motivates Tails to rise up & kick their shit. Why not bring back the Battle Birds & have Speedy be his rival instead?

We cost Unofficial Conducter a blowjob. Mission Accomplished.

Sonic doesn't need a V8, he needs an ambulance.

Classic-split anon. Also, even without said mandate against Classic characters tapering in the Modern era, Sega greatly discourages attempts to bring back defeated villains, even in spinoff media. There's no chance of the Battle Birds coming back ever outside of MAYBE an IDW mini.

I've heard of it, and I didn't bring it up because last I checked the Battle Birds weren't mentioned. It's also an IDW Sonic Classic special so not only does it not have any bearing on the main book whatsoever, but it doesn't impact Sega's stance on the game continuity in the slightest.

As far as the games are concerned, the Battle Birds and Wendy's Witchcarters are dead and never returning. But hey, at least IDW gives us SOMETHING.

>Witchcart's face when Tails pulls out the holy hand grenade and sends her back to hell
It's a classic special, hard to fuck it up so I have hope

IAN DON'T FUCK IT UP, GIVE US THE SCHIZO TAILS

Knuckles just gave Sonic brain damage

>>132172435
Wouldn't be the first time. Remember that Archie issue when Knuckles, to stop Sonic being controlled by Eggman, just socks himself nobody's business.

>>132172601
n-no..what's the issue number?

>>132172888
I forgot which one but it was hilarious.

>>132173369
aww

>>132169680
A rival for Tails would be fun but yeah I doubt they'll do it any time soon.

>what does ss mean
Well you see Tails in Japan back in the 50s there released a manga called Tetsujin 28-go starring fictional 10 year old boy detective Shōtarō (正太郎), who gained a cult following among those attracted to fictional boys aged 12 and under as he was the first manga protagonist to ever be a young and cute boy instead of a typical middle aged adult.

The unexpected audience appeal of this inspired many more Shōtarō type characters to be created over the next 4 decades, including Goku in the first 100 chapters of Dragon Ball and Rin Kobayashi in the massively influential Shojo manga Please Save my Earth.
This subculture eventually though not yet came to be known as “Shotacons”, an abbreviation of Shōtarō complex (正太郎コンプレックス, shōtarō kon-purekkusu)

Due to various factors Japan experienced a massive boom in Shotacon manga in the 1990s, the first ever anime adaptations of modern Shotacon series, and the founding of Shotaket - the first annual convention of Shotacon appreciators. (1)

No wait, maybe Kit in IDW if he doesn't get redeemed

>>132174043
Among these anime adaptations were several that playfully mocked their own Shotacon audience with main characters who were blatant pastiches of the women who enjoyed this genre, and their exaggeratedly shameless perversion around the topic of young males, including but not limited to LET’S Nupu Nupu and Haunted Junction.

The latter series, Haunted Junction, was of especial importance, as on the 27th of April 1996, and again later on the 2nd of April 1997, this series became the first ever published manga, and the first ever published anime, to use and even define the term “Shotacon” within its script - in reference to tritagonist Mutsuki Asahina - a violent and moralless highschool girl determined to collect a personal harem of young boys aged specifically 12 and under.

Now having been made official, defined and translated, the term Shotacon was free to spread to the Western demographic as english-speaking audiences were able to seperate these works into their own genre through reference to this term. In addition the West constructed a unique verbal seperation between Shotacon as seen in heterosexual works, and Shotacon as seen in Yaoi - the former category being rebaptised as ‘Straight Shotacon’.

>>132174061
As the Straight Shotacon genre was further built upon in the turn of the new millenium, a manga was published in 2006 titled Jormungand - wherein a dark-skinned 11 year old child soldier named Jonathan Mar is hired by an albino weapons salesman named Koko Hekmatyar to act as her bodyguard.

Though initially ambiguous as to the relationship these two characters shared, it gradually became clearer and clearer that this relationship was romantic in nature. By 2008, the sexual tension between the two characters garnered Jormungand favourable popularity on the Straight Shotacon board of 7chan (labelled as /ss/ on the board titlepage). Leading 7chan, in relation to this beloved but not yet consummated age-difference couple, to coin the phrase:

“Hey kid, wanna /ss/?”

The Archie Sonic comics were always bad, they were never good.

>>132174092
Well, you learn something new every day

>>132174048
Kit needs to get a reason to rival Tails first. As it stands he doesn’t have any goals beyond helping Surge beat Sonic.

Fascinating.

Sure there is a lot of Tails x Cream content

>>132174043
Wait ... Detective Conan didn't come first?

>>132175006
My favorite kind of Tails x Cream content is where they both have happy lives and nothing ever goes wrong. Then the real suffering begins with no breaks

>>132175180
I see you too enjoy Happy Days.
