Unofficial Sonic Storytime: Re_Boot

Since this comic is on hiatus and it’s been a while since we first covered it, now’s a good time to do the whole thing! Metal Sonic is recovering from a beating and he’s not sure what will become of him. It’s time for him to make a move! But what’s his end goal? Will he succeed? What will Sonic do about it? Will we ever find out? Who knows? This is Re_Boot!

https://www.deviantart.com/pastelmangos

Question: What do you think about a fanartist getting a job working for Sega/IDW? Not just some light work but something substantial for years.

Also, last thread had an update for Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, Eclipse, Survive, and Turtle Power. Check the OP of the last thread for posts replying to it.

Well, there has been a good track record so far for a significant amount of them. Sometimes, it look like doing a good fanwork is the equivalent of a solid Resume for Sega.

Perfectly fine with it normally, but with the increasing mandates on everything, it becomes impossible for them to actually do any major changes or create interesting stories - so it also doubles as a curse for even the most interesting and creative writer. Like, Hydroxian would be fucking gimped if he had to write for IDW Sonic.

Sympathising with a robot's free will is always so bizarre. If he doesn't "want" to stop attacking you it's because he's programmed to attack you, a robot needs to fulfill its function like a living creature is programmed to eat and breathe

Metal does have free will though - he could literally stop whenever he wants. He doesn't because he unironically thinks he's the 'true' Sonic, despite technically not being bound to the "HEDGEHOG PRIORITY ONE" thing anymore.

Yeah but he thinks that, or in Heroes IDW recognises it's not the case but compensates for that by trying to become "a better Sonic", because he's programmed to think that. Tails easily could've removed that part of him in IDW but Sonic insisted that they leave it in, and then they pretend it's possible to redeem him when he's inbuilt with that pathos as his prime directive.

This. Tails coudl have genuinely given IDW Metal room to grow or choose for himself what he wants to be, but IDW Sonic is a retard who has unironically overdosed on his own copium and told him to leave in his literal murder programming because "muh freedom of choice". It's the same bullshit with Surge and Kit.

I still have the absolute madlad opinion that IDW could make all kinds of money officially printing out anthologies of fan created content.
Granted, this would probably mean hiring some poor sap to go through said content to make sure they're not putting out the Murder of Me or Blue Prisoner, but given the ride has guys doing it for nothing I think Sega could get some folks to do it for a living. Or at least as a part time gig.
No.137170820

Sega's too paranoid of people doing stuff with the official characters. The best you could hope for are stories with virtually only OCs doing random stuff that amounts to nothing and never gets acknowledged in the main comics. But Sega would likely be scared of another Penders situation. Lots of opportunities to capitalize on fan autism and Sega wouldn't want any part of it.

The problem is that his forgiving nature always comes back to bite him in the ass, and he never seems to learn from it or get humbled.

Pretty much everything bad that happens in IDW is because he spared Mr. Tinker's life, and he's never even questioned himself, even after the Zombot apocalypse.

>>137172258
Agreed. It has a self-contained plot that doesn't revolve around some stupid OCs crying, and it actually lends Sonic's forgiving philosophy some credibility.

If the rest of IDW were that good, I'd easily call it one of my favorite new comics.

Hell, Surge is the closest we get to having him even vaguely show any signs that he's not a total psychopath a philosophy that is literally unhinged and he STILL brushes off the actual legitimate criticisms of his "muh freedom" philosophy in favor of all but trying to tell her that she should just deal with the fact that she and Kit were kidnapped, had their original personalities erased, and were then turned into kill-drones to get rid of and replace Sonic and Tails. Something which would have never happened if Sonic had either killed or locked Eggman away somewhere (or better yet - just let Tails remove Metal's murder programming/inherent loyalty to Eggman) or thrown Starline into a volcano.

EVERY issue in IDW is caused by IDW Sonic being retarded and not putting an end to people who will never once try to redeem themselves, or at least allow others to grant lasting punishment fo them for their actions.
No.137172623

Not to mention, it's a problem that could easily be solved if they'd let go of the "Edgy Serial Killer Eggman" characterization from Archie.

If you use one of the more comedic characterizations of Eggman, Sonic sparing his life makes a little more sense. But no, he happily pours the Metal Virus on the town that took him in, and Sonic still seems to think he's got a shot at being a good person.

It's like having an all-loving Shonen protagonist go up against villains from Law & Order: SVU.

I'd say that evil Eggman is the only thing the comic has going for it at the moment. He's edgy and threatening and sticks out like a sore thumb from even the other villains. Everything else about the comic is boring. Squandered potential and all that. I don't want to get into a blaming session over the writers so I'll say everyone is at fault. No compelling characters, no world building, no overarching plot, etc. So might as well have Eggman be a bastard and have fun with it. His fight with Starline was so much better than Sonic and Surge's fight.

That's true, shit at least happens when Eggman's on the rampage. Without him it'd just be Tangle and Whisper crying and apologizing to each other for 20 issues straight.

Seriously though, why haven't they come up with better villains? They have the entire game cast, plus Tangle and Whisper, all pitted against a bunch of completely powerless villains like Clutch and Mimic. How is this supposed to be compelling?
No.137173272
>>137173141
>Seriously though, why haven't they come up with better villains?
Literally not allowed. A villain with any degree of real bombast or the capacity to take the stage and be a real threat would immediately take time away from Eggman, and SoJ INSISTS that Eggman be the primary threat in everything. Frontiers is the first piece of media in actual decades where Eggman gets totally sidelined in favor of other villains and it immediately shows that Sonic is at its best when Eggman ISN'T the sole focus. Even then, his creation still takes up the majority of the villain role until The End is revealed.

I also suspect this is why they aren't allowed to use or reference The End in IDW, despite it not only being the most recent big bad, but being very explicitly not dead. It being present would make the very notion of Eggman being a threat completely dead in the water for the duration of its appearance, and SoJ hates that - to them, the franchise can only have one villain who is an actual threat.
