Damn mobians and they're lack of SexEd,

I like it and will always continue to like it but I wish it didn't get thrown around when people like penders came on board with his shit.

Hey now!

It's such a shame.

>>140975748
Maria with the crazy eyes

>>140975776
Now for the not so based aliens.

It's alright. I don't have any strong feelings towards or against it.

Hi Shadow.
We thought you were dead.

>>140975819
Holy kek, also based archie for keeping the broken moon as a thing.

>>140975795
They can do some crazy things.

>>140975836
Bernie looks so much better as purple its insane

>>140975836
Sonic and Sally sucking face and Eggman with that punchable face.
>>140975822
>We thought you were dead.
He got better.

>>140975748
Maria's looking a little scary there.

>>140975836
Hedgehog mommy kisses

or

>>140975856
Chipmunk princess kisses

Which way, blue mobian?

>>140975856
Rouge to the rescue!
>>140975830
Someone has to keep it canon.

>>140975858
It’s the Robotnik genes acting up, please understand

I wonder if the decision to bring back Shadow was all Boller's or if Sega had a say. This was just a few months before Battle and Heroes.

>>140975705
>Question: From the start of this series to this point, what do you think of Sonic and Sally’s relationship?
It doesn't work long term and that's why the comic took so long to make them an actual thing and even when it does they have to split. The fans of it will never accept this, but it's a fact. Sonic's character is inherently isn't made for a relationship.

>>140975705
>From the start of this series to this point, what do you think of Sonic and Sally’s relationship?
I don't really care, feels like a lot of just pointless drama.

>>140975881
No. Corbin is dead.
>>140975835
Some things never change.
>>140975850
Yeah. Not sure why she's blue now.
>>140975879
Sonic doesn't have to choose.

>>140975881
>>140975907
>tfw a beautiful, morally ambiguous bat woman will never swoop in to rescue you

>>140975907
Good news followed by danger!
>>140975889
Maybe they were told what was happening by Sega for once and were able to get ahead of the curve.

>>140975907
>Yeah. Not sure why she's blue now.
Wait wasn't she always blue or was she purple in the original prints also F

Just got here, what's the state of my favorite character Corbin?

>>140975881
>Pres tells Ivo to fuck off
President for President of Mobius!!

>>140975927
I see Shadow's instincts are intact.
>>140975896
Damn.

>>140975927
Damn he's like 16 and wanting to get married. Also yes, sonic would be a consort than a king. dumb penders.

>>140975956
Oh my god, he's been pissed on!

>>140975955
Sleepy prez putting us all in needless danger. And a GLASS dome, are you fucking kidding me? This isn't the wall he promised us!

>>140975956
Sally has dealt with Sonic & Knuckles fighting for no reason enough to stop this before it happens.
>>140975901
>pointless drama
All according to Archie keikaku.

>>140975956
"I just lost a fight I need to win SOMETHING"

>Max: Well he might be a low born buuuut....oh, what the hell. Go for it!!

>>140975981
Sally tard wranglign Hedgehogs as is tradition

Wait, is this the arc where we discover the TRUE origins of Mobius?

>>140975981
Eggman looks like he's laughing his ass off.
>>140975921
Same dream but I always wake up when I start to unzip my pants.
>>140975938
I'd have to check the originals but the stuff with Kirby showed her purple.

>>140975981
>Poseur? Hah! You're not even good enough to be my p

>>140975956
How does Tails know who Shadow is? He wasn't involved in the SA2 adaption.

>>140975981
I swear, Sally has magic diplomacy skills, cause this is a recurring thing from no on. Whenever there's an argument, she can just instantly shut it down. It's fucking amazing.

>>140975927
Bollers Max is so much better than Penders' Max that it's not even funny.

>>140976011

Max is continuing his based streak.
>>140976003
So many years of experience.
>>140976004
Yes.
>>140976020
Well... you see... uh... play the game to find out!

>>140976011
>That Rouge

The second Max saw her, his eyes popped out of his head and he leapt from his wheelchair barking and clapping like a seal. He didn't even listen to what she had to say, he was totally for it.

>>140975705
>Question: From the start of this series to this point, what do you think of Sonic and Sally’s relationship?
It's very cute. Has its ups and downs due to bad writers or Sally having schizo moments, but overall wholesome. Not my favorite Sonic ship, but it's what this continuity needs.

Now if only Tails could have the same. Sigh.

>>140976082
Pour one out for our proud man-child.

>>140976051
Tried to warn Earth about The End's Piss Pool, Earth Earthed out like usual when it comes to "different" things.

>>140976051

>>140976108
Oh come on we all know it was China. They probaly ate what was left of it too.

>>140976082
HOLY BASED
>>140976103
oh yeah he died

>>140976103
Sally and her amazing body has some research to do.

>>140975748
Spooky Maria.

>>140976108
Personally, I blame the Chinese looking for new boner pull ingredients

>>140976108
>>140976126
Too bad it didn't land in Japan, they would've made a porn star out of him.

>>140976131

I WAS WRONG
IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG

>Stu: Who's these Dickheads?!
>Rob: Why these charlatans do not face us like men!
>Ivo: GET OUT OF MY HEAD, CHARLES!!
>Spectre: Oh what now?!

Isn't it revealed later that one of Eggman's ancestors were responsible for that Xorda being captured and dissected or something?

>>140975981
I wish Shadow had had more interactions with the Freedom Fighters.

>>140975776
The Bem being so nice whilst also being very mysterious and pragmatic is a strange shift from how alien beings in Sonic usually are. Wonder how they'd get along with the Ancients.

>>140976152
No fucking way?!! Mobius = Earth?!?!?!

>>140976152
And now for the REAL story of this issue!
>>140976104

>>140976177
>call out that the last story was a recap
>proceed to do another one
Like I said before, I'll give Penders a pass. Just this one time. But it's still dumb.

>>140976192
Shadow's like a year old.

>>140976152
Wow, she found that out fucking easily. Like, only a few minutes.

>>140976197
dimitri made knuckles go through super puberty

>>140976124
>Sonic: How?!
>Spectre: HE FUCKED UP, THAT'S HOW!!
>Locke: Spectre, please
>Spectre: Oh, don't worry Max! Maybe Locke here will Blast them with the Chaos Microwave! Since that went SO well!!

>>140976051
I imagine the Xorda are like the Combine from Half-Life. Their offering of "peace" was more or less the total subjugation of humanity as a vassal planet as part of the Greater Xorda Empire

Or maybe it's like the Qu, where the deal would be extreme genetic modification to humanity because the Xorda see themselves as hyper-intelligent beings doing this because it's part of their godly plans

>>140976197
Yep. That stuff indeed happened.
>>140976129
>oh yeah he died
F
>>140976143
Imagine what she's thinking.
>>140976149
Butler-O's.

>>140976165
Yes, but that's not until Penders' brief run after Bollers leaves.
Ivan Kintober, born June 6th, 2006. Yes, put into numbers, it's exactly what you think it is.

>>140976131
I just want to point out that Nicole gets to spend a not insignificant portion of her day rubbing against those hips.

>>140976177
Dimitri?! You gave your life for that cheese-eating echidna?!

>>140976152
So we can blame the Overlanders for the Xorda attacking right now?

>>140976108
It was the bloody Irish!!

>>140975790
Either that moon is really close to the foreground, or that Xorda ship is absolutely titanic.

>>140976222
Kind of too late to fight being dead. Should've done something sooner.
>>140976189
COOOOOORBIN!

>>140976224
I used to play my gameboy while on the can. I wonder if Sally's the same with Nicole?

>>140976223
I know what it says. Edgy.

>2006
And of course a fucking zoomer ruined everything.

>>140975819
Shadowbros...

>>140975836
Very cute Tails.

>>140976223
>the Earth was destroyed because of a zoomer
Damn, Penders was ahead of his time

>>140976222
>Power rivalled the Ancient Walkers

You want to say Knuckles can obliterate Aurora right here and there, since they are canonically her superiors? GO!!!

>>140976239
FFFFFINALLY!
>>140976214
Like Peanut in Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law?

>>140976239
Well, no. No you don't. You're legally not allowed any of that. Blame Penders.

>>140976218
Man, the Qu are ASSHOLES.

>>140976103
>Max, why do you have Locke's phone number under "Sugarlips"
>Locke, why is Max's phone number under the name "FuzzDaddy?"

>the Xorda still being assmad after 3 millennia even after they nuked earth into oblivion
Was it autism?

>>140976264
And here we have red non-shriveled Athair. Also, Knuckles is triple dead at this point.

>>140976264
I did some research and found out that knuckles was green for approximately 2 years and 5 months. All that time and he did fucking nothing with it. Fuck Penders

>>140976264
You mean he could have just turned off the green whenever he wanted?

>>140976285
Here comes one of the better and sadder milestone issues!

>>140976295
Knuckles did stay in character by being a blithering idiot. Phenomenal cosmic power, itty-bitty brainspace.

>>140976152

>>140976342
...Is it wise to let Max be the one talking with the trigger happy xenos?

>>140976342
Yes, god, don't let them read Max's thoughts. You'll start an intergalactic incident.

>>140976342
That does seem like autism.

>Aurora: Also back on Mobius everyone you love is going to get smoked by a bunch of aliens from outer space lol. Now get your ass in that portal, red boy, or else you aren't getting some Aurora action

you'll see why the Xorda halfass everything they do

>>140976291
>two and half years worth of comics
>it goes absolutely nowhere
And this is one of the many reasons we shit on ol Kenny boy so much. I can only imagine how pissed the readers must've been at the time.

>>140975856
D-Did Eggman just forget that he tried to kill them all via Chaos?

>>140975776
Shadow doesn't have to deal with thinking he’s an android in this continuity. He gets a nice simple resurrection instead of the convoluted poorly explained bullshit Sega came up with.

>>140976329
>The attack dates correspond to the days of fury
That doesn't make sense. The days of fury are an ongoing cycle. There were a few days of fury like a few months ago in-universe.

>>140976365
Since this is Mawhinney I have to guess this is based on some Transformer or old mech.

>>140975881
President is fucking great, but holy shit is Archie Eggman ruthless. Literally "I'll just off you in a traffic accident then install someone new in your place to take over" - what a madman.

>>140976365
>Scan shows that despite having huge, luscious hooters, hips for breeding and a puss-puss with the power to enhtrall any man or female machine, there's just too much human DNA in you. I wonder how that got there.

>>140976400
Yo, a clear power level

>>140976400
Max, you fool! He didn't pinky swear!
>>140976366
>yes! destroy them all! destroy everything made by eggman!

>>140976359
>>140976363
>Max: I shall discuss--
>Everyone: NO!!!

>>140976400
>Moe eyes Eggman

>>140976415
He's back from triple death to double death.

So do the Xorda exist in every zone or just this one? Because there's no zone where humans live. So I assume we get wiped out in every existence for being total dickbags for no reason.

>>140976435

1) Great line from Sonic. Can't shit on it.
2) So technology just falls apart when it gets near the Quantum Dial. Yet, Nicole is perfectly fine. That has to be some bullshit regarding being from the future. Girl is quite literally built different.

>>140976811
The broken moon does make for a nice visual.

>>140976811
Pay close attention, everyone! The character known as Sally is about to transform into a fairly vile individual.

>>140976829

They dissected their one (1) peace emissary.
Don't get me wrong, that's terrible, but the sheer pettiness of the Xorda really puts their whole "we come in peace" thing into question.

If Archie tried to fabricate a Naka letter there would be serious fucking blowback from Sega. Despite what IDWfags would want you to believe Sonic Team never hated the Archie comics.

>>140975705
>From the start of this series to this point, what do you think of Sonic and Sally’s relationship?
It's hopelessly inferior to their relationship in either of SatAM's seasons. Sally's tends to be written like ass in Archie, which makes it difficult to even view her as a character, let alone Sonic's friend or love interest. It's like they go out of their way to make her as unappealing as possible. When she gets the opportunity to just be her, whoever that is, chances are she'll be an asshole. And not the fun kind with an arc, like Antione was, just a sad asshole wrapped up in an endless stream of drama and bullshit.

>>140975995
>Max: Well he might be a low born buuuut....oh, what the hell. Go for it!!

Took him long enough to come around. Thanks Bollers! I guess you're not a completely useless writer after all

>>140976082
Penders must've been seething when Bollers kept on trying to override how Max was being written

>>140976291
BEHOLD! The GREAT GENIUS of KEN PENDERS!

The Echidnas are so awesome and important to the story because they... they... DO NOTHING! Here's why this is GOOD..!

https://youtube.com/watch?v=IvVp3mR9ckE&t=53s

>>140976817
That's more how Ian Flynn writes Eggman.
But to be fair, this Eggman killed his Sonic once and wasn't satisfied with having done it with nukes so he wanted a do-over.
It's not very consistent with what Bollers himself wrote for him to be happy Sonic's dead. Maybe he figures it still counts because it was his giant robot that brought him there?

>>140976466
>The last two panels

I am in tears bros, I love these moments so much

>>140976533
>You will make a fine battery until you starve to death

Archie Eggman was truly something else and I'm all for it

>>140976817
IDW Eggman would probably be pissed because HE wants to kill Sonic. It really depends on the Robotnik. I know AoSTH, SatAM, Movie & OVA Ivo would probably dance on Sonic's grave regardless how he died.

>>140976708
>Bros... he did it... Chaos Knuckles used his god powers for something.

Another example of another writer taking something useless from Ken and making it... at least more useful than before

>>140976239
>>140976264
>>140976435
So, based on the previous thread, Aurora was the one who gave Locke the 'dream' about Knuckles being a savior in the future, right? But now that he's dead and WANTS to come back to life to save his friends, why was she so against it? She just gave Locke a dream about Knuckles being a prophet why does she want to cancel her own prophecy?

>>140979083
>>140976727

As I said, I'm tearing up. I'm still getting emotional over these Sonic comics, I can't bros....

God dammit Bollers

How the fuck could you be behind such moments like these and then completely fuck things up with the slap later. Of course, the artists paint the scene really well but still.

A true moment of the true Sonic and Sally

>>140978198
She knows all about the Game and how you play it

>>140976441
I don't get it what does this page imply about power? That knuckles go to echidna paradise?

>>140978916
Ken has got to be delusional to some degree. Ego is one hell of a drug. He still has these delusions of being in infallible genius all these years later to top it all of, with no public regrets.

>>140979364
He needs to take some meds for real

>>140979335
it's all about control and if you can take it

>>140976844
One of the best. This story right here is one of the many reasons why Archie Sonic is my favorite continuity despite all of its bullshit

>>140979326
There's a nefarious reason. Once they get together, separate them. Get them back together, then break them up. Then have Sally almost marry someone else. Then have Sonic date someone else. All for drama. That's how Archie viewed Sonic and Sally's relationship.

>>140979342
It says that Knuckles is in a realm outside time and space, implying he is outside/above entire multiverse, and later, on the next panel, it says "moments later, on a higher plane of reality", which also I think supposed to mean that there is at least another dimension above the multiverse, but it doesn't make sense since in that case there would be infinite Auroras and infinite Ancient Walkers from across the entire multiverse, hanging out in the same realm, since canonically there is infinite Knuckles' which leads to infinite brotherhoods, so I and Flynn himself intereprets it as there being a Chaos Force for each Zone, which does still make each zone a multiverse-sized construct, but still has Zone Cops as top of the food chain

>>140976862
What was she before and what was the retcon again?

>>140979148
Deem Bristow nailed Eggman's joy to Sonic's death.

>>140979442
It also makes sense, since Master Mogul completely absorbed Chaos Force and still somewhat struggles with No Zone unlike every other zone.

>>140977556
>It still boggles my mind that he worked on this comic.
What Boggles my mind is that if it weren't for him joining these comics and making one of his first multiverse/multiverse cop stories in them, Spiderverse likely would not have existed as how we know it today.

The Spider Society is the Zone Cops but reworked for Spiderman

>>140979615
Between this and that one sonic comic that just tells a spiderman story beat for beat in the same style, I'm all the more convinced that Sonic and Spiderman have so much shared dna it's insane

People like to blame Ken for everything but Bollers should also get shat on for writing the slap.

Honestly Sally slapping Sonic for just coming back as if nothing happened while she has been in a living hell is understandable, and what we got *almost* works, it's just written purely to cause romance-related drama and it's in very cringy and bad taste. How Bollers wrote this is unforgiveable.

And I love Jon Gray so much in general. And during the slap, he drew everything much more exaggerated than he usual did and it makes the whole story feel like a weirds nightmare.

>>140979714
>Penders being an NFT bro

Were any of us supposed to be surprised about this?

>>140979751
Sally definitely pegs Sonic and you cannot convince me otherwise

By default, sure, Sonic is the hero of the story and kicks ass but clearly he can also be somewhat shy behind that gleaming shell, and would definitely be the sub in bed.

At the very least, Sonic and Sally are both switches and they take turns

Gonna be a while before this finishes downloading for me, but has anyone checked this out?
Looking at the list of stories included, I already think that the Cold War story with the Artic Freedom Fighters should've been included. And I don't know about Sonic Kids stories coming first

>Trim the fat and remove filler. Most stories from the gag era and Sonic Super Specials and such can be completely skipped with nothing of worth lost. The series should be paced out evenly and consistently introduce and build on major plot threads in a manner similar to Ian’s run. Condense the story, removing unnecessary, overly convoluted, or straight up horribly executed plot points such as Mammoth Mogul stealing the Sword of Acorns and defeating Enerjak, the Freedom Fighters going to school, Dulcy’s abusive boyfriend, Mammoth Mogul replacing Tails with a copy, etc etc.
>Give each volume a definitive start and end and make each chapter within a volume feel like one whole storyline. Streamline specific storylines like the Sword of Acorns subplot to feel like one linear narrative, fit neatly into a rough approximation of a trade paperback issue.

>>140980101
>Introduce lore and build on the world in a pace similar to the original comic post-issue 30, culminating in issue 124’s reveal. The series wasn’t originally written with this lore in mind during the gag era, so lore will be sprinkled in at a reasonable pace throughout the early stories such as moving Tales of the Great War to right after Uncle Chuck is rescued, or opening the comic with Sonic Kids to set the tone earlier. Avoid leaning too much into Ken’s exposition dumps, but alas they are they main source of lore and pretty much need to be included.
>Focus on storylines and characters that will go on to be built upon in Ian Flynn’s run. No need to build up characters such as Dulcy when they get dropped in that run. By the same token, storylines I don’t particularly care for in isolation like Mina becoming a singer will become the basis for Ian’s stories and thus are included. Yes, this includes “the slap”.
>Keep stories that develop the characters while toning down “soap opera” elements of the comic, such as the Geoffrey and Sally romance subplot, which is removed entirely and instead reduced to a one-off comment during Endgame. Unfortunately the subplot with Evil characters impersonating the main characters and Evil Sonic hitting on all the female characters has to stay as it’s pretty integral to some early Flynn stories.

>>140980101
>>140980126
It seems pointless to me, to try and separate the good stories from the bad, because not only is that ultimately subjetive, but you're going to have to keep unpopular plots around because Ian builds up on them.
Most of Mammoth Mogul's stories have been shit, but you need them if you want to work up to Ian's take, he referenced everything, even DESTINY.

it's really not Bollers fault editorial demanded a love triangle and constant will they/wont they even then the slap is seriously overblown there are autistic manchildren who unironically still seeth about it and harras Bollers and the artist about it to this day

>>140980866
So either it was all Boller's doing or he was had zero spine and could not competently write the slap any better than what he did.

Still his fault either way.

>>140980866
Well the harassment is indeed a bad thing. Aside from that I'm willing to lay most of the blame on Gabrie but since I don't know who came up with what I'd give lump Bollers and Gabrie in on it and just leave it at that. But it doesn't matter because Ian comes in and cleans it all up and makes it better before everything goes to shit due to Penders and Sega.

>>140980917
Should Sally be lashing out at Sonic? No. Could that scene be done better? Oh, absolutely. This is not the direction I would want Sally to go in as a character, and if you ARE gonna have them fight, the slap wasn’t written with the care required to make fans sympathize with both parties. The fact that we see everything from Sonic’s perspective with barely any insight into Sally’s certainly doesn’t help. But this does not come out of nowhere. It’s easy to find lots of fans online calling Sally all sorts of names because they think she just flipped out on Sonic out of nowhere. But she didn’t. Sally having some sort of breakdown had been foreshadowed for several issues, and the reasons why make sense. No, she shouldn’t have lashed out at Sonic, but this isn’t just her going “Oh no, my period! Let’s nuke England!” as so many have made it out to be. (And hell, the comics already had a lengthy history of treating Sally even worse than this, with Gallagher making her the nagging girlfriend who bickered with Sonic all the time and Penders sympathizing more with her shitty dad.)

Based Symphoposter

>>140981012
>the slap wasn’t written with the care required to make fans sympathize with both parties.

That's my point.

I still argue, however, that the slap could have worked. It's just that it was written simply for the sake of writing shoe-horned, chaotic drama.

Sally should not be lashing out at Sonic, but with everything she was going through, I can understand why she would, this of course, doesn't make it okay.

>Genocidal War from Robotnik.
>Childhood trauma that is now teenage trauma from fighting killer robots.
>People dying.
>Nearly lost her dad.
>Dad being a jackass and trying to kill people he is scared of.
>Both parents trying to force her into a marriage she doesn't want.
>Finds out she has a secret brother that her father brought out in order to replace her if she doesn't comply with his demands.
>Her fiancé literally "dies".
>Has to process that for a year.
>Fiancé suddenly comes back like nothing ever happened, and seems to be ready to almost die again.
>Tries to keep everything together and try to lead more effectively but keeps being held back by her father.

There's probably some other things I forgot to mention but Sally has gone through a lot.


But still, this doesn't make what she did right and Sally should have faced more consequences for her actions later on (still gets back with Sonic in the end tho) in the comics but this matter gets dropped like a hot potato.

>>140976453
>Classic shadow

>>140981319
Again, this was supposed to be a turning point in which Sally bottling up all this crap and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders finally leads to her breaking. It’s a dramatic low point to build back up from. The problem is that Bollers left the series only a few issues later, and Penders and “Chacon” never did much with this. So in hindsight, many view this as her randomly snapping “for no reason,” because the followup stories that would have explored how she’d been bottling up her feelings were never actually written. But it’s not hard to figure out what’s supposed to be going on in her head if you actually go back and look at the preceding Sally scenes

For the most part, this is just run of the mill relationship drama for Archie Sonic. You see this kind of shit all the time in serialized media. Characters date, but the writers need to keep things ~spicy~, so they break up, see other people… then inevitably end up back together, and the process repeats ad nauseum. You ever watch Scrubs? You know how JD and Elliot are obviously love interests from episode one, but they had to do that will they/won’t they shit for years and have flings with other characters to keep up ratings? Yeah, it’s just that. For Sonic, there’s also the added pressure from Sega, who never allowed Sonic to be in any stable relationship for very long. Several writers have talked about how this limited what they could do with Sonic and Sally. Do I like that this cycle of drama is the norm? No. But after over 200 of these comics, I’m used to it

>>140981319
The conflict came about because right before the final fight Sonic promised to marry her and then at the party he turned 180 and walked out on his promise because he didn’t want to change his routine of fighting Eggman.
It’s not that she’s angry because she’s crazy and irrational and been through a lot, she was angry because she had a point and he broke his promise to her based on her reasonable expectations.

Penders basically turned him into Jesus anyway so Bollers just partook.

>>140982951
The Walkers could have handwaved away every villain in the comic if they ever actually wanted. It wasn't for a lack of power, but nebulous 'God works in mysterious ways' reasons/laziness. Hell, they literally had access to a dimension entirely composed of chaos emeralds, when the crux of most of the early comic is that just a few would make whoever had them unstoppable.

>>140982984
I’m glad he found a way for knuckles to finally do something with that shit. I bet ken was fuming too.

>>140976415

Or maybe it’s just jealously. I don’t know. Either way, I don’t blame you. I hope you manage to find someone who can be a good person for you who you can be happy with.

I can't believe Sonic's dead, and after Knuckles came back to life just to be with him ;_;

>>140983005
Pretty much. Like, Mogul at any point could have strolled in and bitchslapped Robotnik and the FFs to death even sans his Master Mogul form and there'd have been little to reliably stop him. Al and Cal COULD have directed their rage at the guy who actually blew them up once he returned but they didn't in favor of going full asshole. Aurora could have solved basically everything at any point but refused on the grounds that she's a manipulative psycho. Etc.

Chalk it up to Penders snd some of these other writers insisting that the cosmic guys keep being vaguely ominous and esoteric without actually solving anything.

>>140976435
Rereading this with added context really makes Aurora come across as the worst.

>>140983048
I guess also the whole deal that currently Archie Sonic just continues to exist way, way past it's originally perceived cancelling date. They just gotta keep it going, and it literally took Penders going full suing-mode for Sega to finally cut the cord on the whole thing.

She taught me the Sally and Sonic handshake.

I highly doubt she cheated on me, I would have figured it out, I have my ways. However, she certainly did not put in the same amount of effort into the relationship ship as I had later on.

If she did cheat on me, oh well. She will screw up her own life and it’s not my problem anymore. I’m not going to let that concept live rent-free in my head unlike other anons here.

Many versions of Eggman would be happy if Sonic died, but some wouldn't. Game/Modern would swiftly get bored or listless without him to challenge him (and would likely swiftly end up dead if he was the one who caused it), Boom wouldn't be happy at all because he genuinely thinks the world of Sonic and wants to be his friend behind the snark and villainy, nor would X Eggman be pleased at news of his demise.

SatAM, OVA, AoSTH, Underground, Movie, and Archie are the versions who'd gleefully laugh at his death. And of those, only Archie and MAYBE Movie would rejoice at him dying by anything other than their hand.
