SatAM's Sonic Deserves More Credit | SatAM Character Analysis
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- The SatAM version of Sonic the Hedgehog is my favorite version of the character, and for the show's 30th anniversary, I decided to analyze his character in depth. In this video, I'll go over many aspects of his personality, from attitude to intelligence and show why he deserves more credit compared to other versions of the blue blur.

"This is a Sonic who cries" AS💥HE💥SHOULD💥BE💥ABLE💥TO
The reason why the other mainline sonics can't cry is because they were designed to be the perfect being
I mean, he cried in sonic prime so it does count in the mainline…
@@DanielAntovskiNot really, Most versions of Sonic have their own unique flaws.
One of my favorite things about the Sonic franchise are the different takes on the characters. Seeing someone give their respect to a version of the character that hasn't been given as much attention as others is refreshing and fun to see. Great video.
Aw, thanks a bunch! It's definitely something I've noticed a lot. Even within the SatAM fandom, Sonic's often sidelined in favor of his fellow Freedom Fighters. I don't see as much in-depth discussion about him as, say, Sally or Bunnie or even Robotnik, which is fair, but he's always been my favorite aspect of the show.
Regarding Satam Sonic’s intelligence, I like to think there is a difference between book-smarts and wit-smarts. Book-smarts being what Tails usually embodies in other versions. Good with machines and knows big words. Or villages from the comics that know magic and stuff. Wit-smarts being what you described. Good at battle strategies, using the environment, looking for weaknesses, and of course the cheesey one liners.
Oh, certainly. SatAM Sonic's intelligent in a different way from Sally, and I think that's what makes them such a good duo.
I like how SAtam Sonic often nicknames Robotnik, Ro-butt-nik, in this show. hilarious nickname for that villian.
Finally, someone actually notices how the comics changed Sally's personality. 😯
Not just that, they bastardized her character & ultimately killed her when she became Mecha Sally. Sure, she returned in the post-Second Genesis Wave reboot, but it was short-lived, since the Archie Sonic comics were cancelled in 2017 and ever since, the Freedom Fighters have been left to past memories, since SEGA of Japan HATES its American counterpart and only owns the Freedom Fighters due to the fact that SEGA of America created them and as such, even if the Japanese running SEGA now dislike the American Sonic continuity, they sometimes drag them back out when they want an exercise in nostalgia (for instance, having various comic covers & even full pages of the Archie Sonic comics included as bonus content in the PS2/Gamecube/Original Xbox release of the 16-bIt Sonic videogames collected together under the umbrella title of Sonic Mega Collection Plus).
While SatAM has my absolute favorite version of Robotnik I've admittedly never given Sonic much thought. It's nice to see he's got more to him than first appears!
Yeah, that's a pretty common sentiment, tbh. SatAM Robotnik has a very *distinct* presence as this very menacing, cold, threatening version of the character that stuck with a lot of people, but with SatAM Sonic, I think people tend to overlook him in favor of the other Freedom Fighters, like Sally and Bunnie. It's so funny to me because Sonic was what drew me to the show above all else. xD Kid me adored him.
Without a doubt. He was a legit scary villain.
One of the things I love about SatAM Sonic and SatAM in general is that overall Sonic and his friends aren't completely overthrowing Robotnik, they live lives and constantly ruin his plans but at the same time they're already in a losing situation and at times it might feel like they're in a losing battle and despite the inner feelings they have about it they (especially Sonic) don't let that stop them from living and fighting. Even if it strays from the canon it at the same time is just the same under a different lens, Robotnik wants the world to be in a way he imagines it and Sonic against all seemingly impossible odds fights against it and inspires others to fight with him. It's why on rewatches I just can't help but love every episode with the characters under all that context.
Sonic Satam is one of my favorite things in the Sonic franchise, one of the reasons being Sonic’s characterization.
I watched various Sonic TV shows when I was younger. I always loved them, they were so cool to me back then, haha. Maybe I should make some time to rewatch this one…
I always took the 'toaster' line as him trying to push Sally's buttons.
Personally I’d love to see more Sonic content like when it fully releases I’d love to see an analysis of Prime Sonic and/or Nine.
Sonic Prime is really interesting! I can definitely take that into consideration. I'd also love to do a vid nerding out about the excellent way Adventure 2 builds up to Live and Learn throughout its OST.
@@Dorked an SA2 vídeo? Awesome!
I know what it feels to love an otherwise unpopular portrayal of Sonic’s character outside of the respective series’ fans; the Fleetway comics iteration is one of my favourites, up there with Adventure 1 & 2 and Black Knight.
I love both this and the official canon tbh. Out of all the Classic Sonic portrayals, I always felt this (and by extension the Archie Sonic) were the closest to a personality I feel he would have if Sega wasn’t afraid to let him talk in his appearances. Heck, considering he was almost voiced by Jaleel White in Generations, it does indeed seem like Sega at one point agreed. Side note but I do like that Sonic’s bond with Nicole would eventually lead to her being sentient a la Vision if the series continued (Archie did do the Nicole/Vision thing too but as far as I remember neither continuity had Sonic involved). Kinda reminds me of the OVA where Sonic had an effect on Metal, SA1 where Amy had one on Gamma or Battle with Emerl
This entire video summarizes everything I love about Sonic's portrayal in SATAM. His personality, Jaleel White's performance, and just how Way Past Cool he is. :) Excellent video, Dorked, and happy 30th anniversary, Satam! :D And I would love to see more Sonic the Hedgehog content from your channel!
Thanks! :D I'm so glad to see others who enjoy this version of him, and I really do love Jaleel White's performance in the show. He just puts so much heart into it, and when I think classic Sonic, this is the voice I always hear.
Oh yeah, I always thought the Griff/Ari plots were super weird. Not only did Sonic and Sally trust one but not the other, swapping roles with each, but each said "There ARE no other freedom fighters!" in both episodes, and were surprised to learn that more existed. It almost feels like Griff's episode was just forgotten about when Ari was introduced.
I think people tend to lump the DiC Sonics together since they're all pretty similar on the surface, so it's nice to see what makes Satam Sonic unique while still being distinctly Sonic tackled.
heck yeah! sonic satAM was HUGE to me growing up! i never get tired of hearing peoples nostalgic memories off this show
I watched Sonic Underground a lot as a kid.
As a fan of both SatAM and Archie Sonic I really appreciate this video, hopefully it can still reach a large amount of people and maybe even make some of the detractors appreciate this version of Sonic some more.
That's like expecting a rabid star wars fanboy to give Star Trek a fair shake. Not impossible, but pretty close.
Looking back at it, this comment does seem pretty naive and maybe even a bit childish, but that just seems to be how I am when I don't fully think my words through.@@Idazmi7
@@greflog
It just shows that you have an optimistic outlook and faith in humanity - both are good traits. If only more people would meet that expectation.
Satam sonic is underrated as hell good video
Man, I loved that show, I watched it religiously every day after school I'd watch reruns of Sonic SatAM and Sonic Underground
There's something so nostalgic about sitting down after school to watch cartoons like that. I feel ya.
happy 30th anniversary SatAM! one of the best sonic cartoons EVER! i was 9/10 when this first came out when i watched it! i just can’t believe it’s been 30 years!… 😢 Thanks for making this fantastic video!! 😊❤
Thanks a bunch! c: And no prob. SatAM is one of those series that's always stuck with me, and I come back to it every now and then. I remember downloading those really small real player episodes on dialup internet before the DVD release. Good times...
@@Dorked lol hey! i remember those days! i download plenty of cartoons via WinMX back in the day via Dial up! lol XD wow… those were the days… makes me wanna cry… ;_;
The SatAM cartoon (and early issues of the Archie Comics series) were my main exposure to Sonic as a young kid. I was aware the games existed, but never got into them. I loved the characters and world building of SatAM Sonic more.
I love both SatAM and Sonic Underground.
i love watching in depth videos about sonic despite not interacting with the series in any other way
Eyy, thanks! c: Sometimes it really is just fun to watch video essays just to see the passion the essayist puts into it, so I feel that.
I was also introduced to the Sonic franchise via SatAM!! As well as Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Underground. I watched them all on Netflix when I was really young before I played or even knew of the existence of the games. This is a great character analysis, I love SatAM Sonic dearly. And I will always adore his ridiculous little quips 😅 "Juice and jam" will always live in my head
Always great to watch your analyses, even for stuff I'm not so familiar with!
Eyy, thanks! That means a lot. c:
I always love it when you make videos about things that you really like, even though I don't know most of the media.
They're always fun to listen to, and I appreciate that you generally look at the good side of things.
I hope more people watch this.
Thanks! They don't typically perform as well, but sometimes I just gotta make a video because I wanna talk about something and hope that others care enough to check it out anyway.
This was a great overview of Sonic’s character. It’s very impressive how the writers were able to make sure sonic wasn’t one note when his most in your face part of his personality is often his go to. Great job
Oh, dang! You're the guy who made that really good Archie Sonic analysis. O: Thanks for the kind words! Really enjoyed your own breakdown, too.
Hey thanks for watching it! Keep up the great work.

That part made me bawl my eyes out....and Ultra Sonic too.
Those momenets were just so heartbreaking and it kinda had a lastijg impact on me. When I finished the series, that one moment kept popping into my mind and dreams for almost 2 months straight, and i kinda found myself crying for 10 mintues on a....regular basis. Uncle Chuck really sticks to ya hard
Uncle Chuck's episodes are really solid and easily some of the best in the entire series. He's such a compelling character, and his dynamic with Sonic is so warm and wonderful.
@@Dorked couldn't have said it better myself. He's a true MVP. And thankfully, in the comics, he's permanently Deroboticized. Wish he got a proper ending too
This is fantastic.
Satam is such a special show. Sonics characterization is AMAZING.
Characters need to have flaws to be believable, and I love how this version of Sonic is a bit more flawed but has a heart of gold.
I miss Sally and gang so much,😭
I've been seeing so much sally hate in the last couple of years and hate for satam. I am just so sick of people crapping on the classic sonic stuff. There is so much effort put into stuff like satam or sonic mania. There is a reason people hold satam in a high regard and I am sick of being gaslighted into thinking its not. Thank you for making this video.
Same. It's incredible how much hate this show gets for having writing quality.
This video is so interesting... While I know nothing about Sonic, I still really enjoyed it- it's really clear that this is a subject you genuinely enjoy discussing and analyzing, and that's just really great to see.
I was able to understand all the points you've made in this video, you've described this version of Sonic really well so that even someone who doesn't know anything about Sonic as a whole can see what type of character this version is.
Overall, great video- I'm definitely looking forward to more of your content, both the ones that are UTDR related and those that are about a different topic like this one.
It's good to hear that the video was still accessible even if it's a topic you aren't as personally familiar with. That's always a goal when I do these kinda character breakdowns, so that people can still get a general idea of who they are even without the full fandom context.
@@Dorked It was really well done, it's always great when I can get an idea of who a character I don't know much about is from your videos alone.
Overall great analysis. I've had my own quibbles with SatAM (mainly with its portrayal of Robotnik), but I actually *do* think Sonic himself is written pretty well. And I really think your analysis of him did a great job of explaining why his character works.
In a way, the bones of game Sonic are still there - the brashness, the playfulness, the attitude. It's almost like that same archetype living through very different circumstances resulted in the differences we see in the show, which I think make sense for how he's written there.
ikr robotnik is so much better here and is actually treated as a threat instead of a joke like he is most of the time.
@@Blanktester685 I think you misunderstood me. I was not a fan of SatAM Robotnik. It's fine that you liked him!
But I *like* silly, fun, lovable goofball Eggman. I feel like SatAM Robotnik is just too... *dull* for my tastes. He mostly sits around in a chair and doesn't do cool stuff like pilot big awesome mechs to fight Sonic directly with. He doesn't build all that much himself either - he builds some of the robots on the show, but many of them are outsourced to Snively. He's just a very hands-off version of the character, and his character's a bit too one-note for me.
Like I said, it's fine if you like him, but I feel like he lacks the flair, the showmanship, the *personality* that I always like seeing in my Eggmans/Robotniks. (On topic with the video, SatAM *Sonic* is fine though.)
@@DrMechano The reason BUTT-nik is the way he is in this show is, he's kind of already won. There's a reason why the Knothole resistance are called Freedom Fighters, because they're fighting to free Mobius from Dr. Robotnik's control.
I've never seen this show but from your description of this version of Sonic, he sounds a lot like Papyrus. And everyone loves Papyrus.
You know, he kinda does have Papyrus vibes! Boastful and cocky, but also really kindhearted and just as eager to boost others' morale as he is to stroke his own ego.
I watched this version of Sonic in TV when I was very young. Very good video!
This video was way past cool. And I 100% agree with your perspective on this Sonic. SatAM is not only my favorite show but literally have maybe my favorite Sonic characters. This show did a good job establishing a world for Sonic and having a great well tell story and characters with very good character development. And Sonic is literally one of them when it comes to his character and how he interact with others. Great video. Also just subscribe to your channel. Keep it up with some more content and even SatAM content
I’m glad to see an analysis on SATAM like this, especially after noticing a recent wave of hate towards the show. Great video!
Yeah, the hate on twitter was so weird? It felt really mean spirited, especially so close to the show's anniversary.
@@Dorked yeah, it was really weird. If I’m remembering right people were bringing up things like the concept art to show how much SATAM “ruined sonic”. There are things to criticize about the show but the recent hate it got felt really rude and unnecessary
@@blueloops7437 That's so weird because it was unused concept art? Probably unused for a reason.
@@Dorked yeah, it was a piece of concept art of robotnik specifically. he was a green monster thing?? And even though that design was never used people were saying how the creators never cared about sonic as a series at all :/
I grew up with this show, so to me, this my personal favorite take on the character, funny enough this was also my introduction to the character!
I've been really into the nature of canons with different iterations lately, the ways those iterations differ in characterization and why, both in-character and in a meta sense. So this was such a cool video to see, especially since Sonic is one of those canons I've been thinking about. I enjoyed this a whole lot and have subscribed for more character analysis, I think whatever you go on to tackle will intrigue me!
Eyy, thanks a bunch! :) I love overthinking characterization. I think it's a nature of all the years I've done fanworks, haha. And RP. Big nerdy stuff.
To this day, SatAM is my favorite iteration of the character and his world.
YEAAAH SO GLAD TO SEE THIS TAKE!! Recently rewatched the show and yeah SatAM sonic is one of my favorite versions of him!
I love boosting the algorithm.
But really, great video. It deserves more views than it currently has
A lot of this is consistent with how Sonic is portrayed in the Archie comics too. Tho at times he's flanderized even more severely for the most part his character remains consistent.
I 100% AGREE WITH YOU! Sonic himself in this show is the most real & human he has ever felt to me (more than Robotnik or Snively). The show’s environmental message being portrayed as a rebellion would be a million times more engaging to kids than just straight-up lecturing them like “Captain Planet” as kids can easily identify with rebellions like the one in the original “Star Wars” trilogy.
I feel like “Sonic SATAM” is one of the few Saturday morning cartoons of the 90’s (& all time) that SHOULD be remade today! It’s all about looking for the RIGHT creative team to do it justice, & I can think of a few reasons why it should be remade. There’s the fact that animation & technology have come far in the last 30 years, TV shows are as popular as movies these days & not just a little brother, & with a bigger push towards eco-friendly everything, a “Sonic SATAM” reboot under a different name like “SONIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS” would probably one of the best cartoon reboots since the “DuckTales” reboot! WHAT DO YOU THINK?! 😊
Love to see someone talk about satam in 2023,this show was one of my favorites as a kid.
:> Always happy to bring in that nostalgia and share in the memories.
So I do wanna see an episode or two of this series--thanks for bringing it to light!
It's been over 10 years since I watched this show. I was a kid so I didn't remember much of it. I didn't know it was still possible to find it. Thank you for including a link to the playlist in the description. Can't wait to watch it with the ability to pay attention this time.
Yeah, no prob! It's actually really nice that Wildbrain has the entire series up for free, considering that it's also paid on Paramount+.
this show was my childhood, and this analysis made me very happy :] thank you for making it!
Great Job! Love SatAM and love to see people share their thoughts on it. 👍
I always enjoy watching your character analysis videos. They're very informative, and it gives me more appreciation to a character I already liked, or see a new perspective to a character I didn't like or understand well.
I'd love to see more Sonic stuff! I love your style of video essay.
i absolutely adore satam, and more specifically the thing that hooked me was sonic's relationship with his friends. he has nicknames for all of them that we see immediately, and he cares so so deeplyfor them. and as you said, he boasts about them just as much as he does himself!! he is so multidimensional here and so so fascinating
Eyy, thanks for the kind words! I definitely second everything you said about SatAM Sonic. c: It makes me happy that others appreciate him, too.
I grew up with Jaleel White's Sonic performance. While his portrayal is pretty jarring when compared to Modern, it's still a Sonic that I cherish.
this was an amazing video, that really opened my eyes to a part of sonic i don’t have much experience with, i’d absolutely love if you did more videos about sonic
Aw, thanks! :) I'm always happy to use my platform to share the things I love and perhaps even inspire others to check them out. SatAM is old enough that a lot of fans are probably only aware of it through word of mouth, which is why I'm so happy it's easily watchable on YT.
An excellent video. And good work shouting out Season3. SatAM is the superior version of sonic. 100%. Instead it branched off to be the gimmicky version, which has had it's ups and downs to say the least as a franchise. The SatAM production was a labor of love, and sega couldn't have given free license to a better crew. Ironically, they would eventually shut down this spilt reality version of sonic in favor of... Werewolves, space dragons, and gimmicks which feel like even now the franchise doesn't know what it's identity is.
The SatAM world was deep, full of conflict, flawed heros. Sometimes they failed. Sometimes they had to deal with their failures and grow as characters. They were well developed, the world was deep and full of potential. And there was always this feeling of doom, but then knothole and their relationships were the sanctuary. They had everything to lose, everything to gain. It's a shame that it was cut down in it's prime. And the only chances that it ever had of bringing back this world or characters was ultimately destroyed by Ken Penders. Oh, what it could have been. I grew up in the 90's. SatAM was my favorite show, and it will always be the true version of Sonic to me.
Oh, and thanks for playing all of those bangers in the background. Even from the cancelled saturn game!
This video is super good and nostalgic. It really warms my heart hearing someone talk about and address several different instances of Sonic's character throughout this series. I don't think I've ever heard anyone really mention the episode with Griff, which is why I'm so glad to hear it talked about now because it's one of my favorite episodes from when I first watched the show.
Great character analysis dude 👏. This came out well
Yes! A Sonic video! I remember I always looked at all the scrapped zones and all of them looked awesome.
❤❤❤❤❤I love Sonic the Hedgehog every since I was a little girl!!! My first introduction to Sonic was.....the video game!!!
his cheesy quips has honest to god changed the way i talked since i was little and i love him for it
Very nice video. Likely the one with the most in-depth analysis of Sonic. Though I kinda wish you would also focus on the other characters of the show.
It’s nice to see dorked review sonic media
I hope to see other non Undertale videos =]
(Note:I’m not implying I hate your Undertale videos . It’s just interesting to see your opinions on different series)
No worries, I totally get it. I'd like to branch out more, but the algorithm can be a cruel lil' beast, so I usually gotta fall back on 'safer' video topics as a cushion.
I could not possibly agree with you more than I already do. This was such an underrated show and deserved a better finale ending than what it got!
The best cartoon, the best portrayal of Sonic and the darkest Robotnik. It could have easily gotten a seven year run. Baffles me that there exists people who don't like it.
As a Sonic fan who loves obscure and interesting discussion, I REALLY want to see more Sonic videos and analysis. Please do continue Dorked.
C: Thanks for the kind words! I'll definitely consider doing so in the future.
One of the good things about Sonic being a big franchise is that it allows for so many different takes for the character. Some have more attitude and others are more relaxed, but it almost never feels out of place, at least to me. I really appreciate what this version of Sonic offers along with other versions of him and I think people should allow these different takes to coexist and maybe even try to experiment with the them in the future.
i adore satam so much
Finally got around to watching this. I never really cared about SatAM, but I can definitely see the appeal of this version of Sonic. He is a bit too whippy and narcissistic (regarding how much he compliments his looks) for my liking, but with the way you described him in this analysis, especially the Season 1 version of him, he's actually not that different from game Sonic: a street-smart and rebellious free spirit who's loyal to his friends and has a heart of gold. Even when he has the responsibility of leading a whole team of rebels, he's always ready to do his own thing. It's interesting to me that even with the circumstances of SatAM and all the trauma it gives Sonic, he's still able to be like that.
Pretty cool SatAm video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. c:
Happy 30th anniversary to one of the best sonic cartoons out there!!!
I was introduced to the show last April, and ive been a fan ever since.
And Sea3on is definitely keeping the determination
It was really nice to see someone else who loves SatAM Sonic talking about him! While he's not my favourite, I really loved watching the cartoon when I was younger, and I rarely see anything about the show on the internet. Good stuff chief!
Definitely would love some more Sonic videos from you in the future :3 Your grasp of the Undertale characters is already great so I'm interested to hear about what you have to say about one of my other favourite franchises!
As for the video itself, I've started watching the first handful or so episodes for the first time a couple of months ago and I do have to admit that some of Sonic's lines were a bit grating to me - it's less his attitude because I think he needs that to give his more heroic traits a sharper and more interesting edge but more so the dated 90s lines itself I guess...? I do want to watch the entire show at some point though. I love the premise too much not to (that's what hooked me in Sonic Underground after all, back when I was little). I feel like if I can get through the worst of Archie and Fleetway to get to the good stuff, then I think I should be able to handle what is probably only a mild annoyance for me in this show. I want to like it damnit! :') (and this video definitely helps)
I really like this cartoon. I saw a lot of It on Netflix when I was younger. I really don't understand why it says much hate as it does, it's really good.
What a great video!
I hate to say Antoine was my first comfort character.😔younger me was a mystery.
If it's any consolation, kid me thought he was hilarious. xD And Archie Antoine's cool, too.
soup the soupy
But what KIND of soup?
@@DorkedFrench onion :)
I was blessed with a dvd copy of the whole show in my youth
I binged it over the course if three days, and it was amazing.
I became a Sonic fan in my toddler months and it was very likely that the cartoons and the fact that blue is my favorite color are what caused that because it's obvious that I was way too young to play any of the games at that time in my life. It's totally hilarious that that 90s DIC cartoon version of Sonic calls Robotnik, "Ro-butt-nik." Lol. Comically silly nickname for that mad scientist.
Also have you ever heard that in April 24, 2022 a UA-cam video got released that holds a recording of a cover version of the SATAM theme song with the Crush 40 lead singer (Johnny Gioeli) singing the lyrics of it instead of the person who originally sang that show's theme song?
YOU DID IT!! YOU [[Funky]] LITTLE [[Worm]]! YOU BROUGHT US THE ANALYSIS!!
I KEPT SAYING I WOULD... BUT NOW IT IS HERE. Balance is restored. Now I just gotta do the Ventus analysis when I'm less headachey. xD
Sonic fans: "SatAM Sonic is too dumb."
Boom!Sonic: "Hold my chili dog."
More seriously though, while I can't comment on the SatAM Sonic specifically (going to have to watch that now that I know it's on here!) I'm a fan of the headcanon that in general Sonic basically has ADHD. So he's actually fairly smart, it's just that his thoughts zip along as fast as he does - which leads to him not always thinking things through (and also makes it super easy to botch the time travel landing zone if it depends on concentration. In this case those intrusive chili dog thoughts wouldn't even have entirely been his fault) It's also why most versions of the character can't handle being bored or sitting still. Which, honestly, makes it even more conceptually interesting to see a version of the character who's been forced to spend an entire decade having to just bide his time for the most part.
its been so long since ive seen SatAM i should watch it again sometime
It's a really fun watch! I think the real trick is to treat it as its own universe w/o comparing it too much to the games. It's definitely a series that means a lot to me. c:
one of my favourite things is his design in the cartoon... THE BACKPACK! i don't know why, but it makes him look so cool for no reason!
I usually just watch your content for Undertale/Deltarune but I decided to give this one a watch, and I really enjoyed it! I’m not even a sonic fan but honestly I might check out the show now because it sounds pretty cool.
I wasn’t even ever noticed of this video definitely watching it
I'm doing my algorithm part. I hope this blows up. SatAM is my fave Sonic. I grew up with it and the old Genesis games and Adventure 1+2.
Aww, thanks a bunch! It's a slow start, but I also did post it at a weird time of day. xD
I think it is implied executive meddling had a lot to do with season 2 being less intelligent initially, and then Hurst required control as the series progressed, moving back towards the original vision.
Finally. Another SatAM sonic enjoyer
SatAM is one of my big childhood influences. Loved it since the 90's. c:
@@Dorked It was my first exposure to the internet. I will always look up clips of it. And i loved it
Honestly I took awhile to watch this because I wanted SadAm to get needed context and stuff but I definitely think you should do more sonic stuff.
Holy moly, Dorked made a video on Sonic? Rejoice! Rejoice, I say!
Good video
Great video! Jaleel White's Sonic will always be MY Sonic. I'm somewhat of a casual fan of Sonic bc of SatAM and AoStH. I like some of the games but those cartoons just easily have my favorite versions of the characters because of how cheesy he is. I'm mostly an AoStH fan so this analysis was nice to see because it shows how he's a deeper character in SatAM.
Rather interesting analysis for a version of sonic I've never been familiar with. Rather curious if you'll do one involving fleetway sonic. Unfortunately being a fleetway fan is hard, since almost everyone really only talks about super sonic. A *certain mod* not helping things either. So I kinda wish there were more videos talking about fleetway sonic and that there's more to him then just his super form.
I'd have to familiarize myself with Fleetway first, since I'm an American. xD The comics I grew up with were the better known Archie ones.
Not only does it need more credit, it needs to be made canon!
I grew up on Sonic Underground, so...
I did gain a new appreciation for this version of Sonic. Not that I ever hated this version of Sonic, but I do enjoy a Sonic with more layers to his character. Thank you for making this video.
It makes me happy to hear that this has given folks new appreciation, 'cause I feel like he sorta gets lost in the crowd of other Sonics, e.g. Archie, Fleetway, etc.
Tell ya what, Dorked: as a fellow Sonic fan, I thank you for making this. We need more non-UT/Sonic content on this channel! With your style of making vids, it's always a fun Ride Around Town™!
To be honest, I never really watched SatAM or knew what it was about exactly, but your vid? Yeah, got me to considerin' watching the show. Seems like something I can enjoy!...when I have the motivation to watch it and the time to, lmao. Yeah, always had it hard with watchin' series...
Also, wanted to say that even though I didn't watch the Kingdom Hearts video(s), I DO still watch your non-UT analysis content, such as the Paper Mario video! And tell ya what, still a fun time.
ALSO, wanted to say that I love how you spread the canon stuff in the UT fandom, such as the Mandela Effect of the Red SOUL and the fact that UT's in the future - I never knew about that, honestly! And also, thanks for maming the Neutral Run videos. De-facto, they are even more terrifying than the Genocide one because there are monsters that the effects LINGER on, making things more sad. (Oh, and Undyne's death is just fucking unnerving, especially having seen it myself.)
...This is a pretty little detail but OH DAMN DORKED SWORE FRR?!?! /J
Nah but fr, kinda took me by surprise with you saying "little shit" with such casualness, een though you practically NEVER swore in your other videos. This is really small, but yeah, little detail that got me a bit surprised, haha.
To conclude, this is another awesome video from Dorked. Good job as always gal, keep it up, but don't forget about yourself as well.
(P.S. - Also uh, this is kinda old probably, but how did that crowdfunding for your home go? Sorry, I don't exactly remember the details, but just wanted to ask since I remembered in the process of writing this comment.)
Thanks for the kind words and support! It's always nice to see people engage with my other work because UA-cam can be actively punishing whenever I step outside my usual niche. x_x As for the fundraiser, the work was done but my mom's basically been having to pay it back as a loan. So not the full 19k at once, but it's still inconvenient. Blarg.
I have practically no idea about Sonic other than some basic facts. Clicked in order to boost the video, actually enjoyed it because I can feel someone being passionate about a show they like.
