July 13th, 2022 Question Timestamps: ------------------------------------------- 1:48 - Which group of alien conquerors in the Sonic franchise do you like more, the Black Arms or the Metarex? If they fought each other, who do you think would win? 7:05 - So Dr. Eggman make's Badniks. Belle was made by Mr. Tinker who was Eggman's amnesia induced good alter ego. Does that make Belle a Goodnik? 7:23 - As a Full Metal Alchemist enthusiast Ian, tell me, what do you think really worked with Nina's story arc and the way it's told? Currently writing a similar tragic tale, and could use some insight on a story I like from a writer I admire 11:30 - Some fans seem to be a bit divided on how Sonic is characterized in the IDW comics, particularly when it comes to his whole "trying to give the bad guys the freedom to choose a better path" kind of thing. Some even see it as him "forcing" them to change or trying to "pressure" them to be good, going so far as to compare him to a "I can fix him" type of personality. People even think he was being a "dismissive jerk" to Surge, when really he only just met her and didn't know what her whole deal was. While I personally don't see it that way, I think this is very well in-character for him and issue 50 really does get this idea across of him wanting to share his taste of "freedom" with everyone else, I was hoping to give you an opportunity to try to clear the air and explain exactly what the intention is behind focusing on this side of Sonic, as I think fans are really misinterpreting the message. 14:58 - In Encylospeedia you dub 2 Chaos Controls making time travel "Dual Chaos Control". While from 06, Shadow gives no indication they just learned this. I understand why it won't be used again, but theoretically, why not go back and save Maria? What would a world like that look like? 16:15 - Potential StH #50 spoilers: Despite knowing he was brainwashed into being loyal to Surge, Kit is still clearly obsessed with helping Surge and shows no indication of wanting to break this behavior. Since Surge had more sessions than Kit, and her main programming involved hating and wanting to destroy Sonic, would it be accurate to say that she's also still enslaved to her programming and that's where most of her feelings still come from, she just doesn't question it like she did in Imposter Syndrome #1 because there's enough context for her now to rationalize a reason to hate Sonic? 20:30 - Hey Ian, in light of all the various "Moebian version" of characters we get, one I've yet to see too see is Moebian Uncle Chuck. Now we know that Evil Jules was neglectful of young Scourge but what about Evil Chuck? Did Evil Chuck give Scourge his first leather jacket and sunglasses? Did Evil Uncle Chuck teach Scourge to be a hellion? Is Evil Uncle Chuck just Ron Perlman from Sons of Anarchy but a Hedgehog with a cool mustache? 22:14 - Hey Ian, just figured I’d be a pal and check in on ya.I hope your cranium and cheek bones aren’t straining too much from the sheer level of knowing and smiling too much! Having to know and smile for about a Year or so really must be tiresome. Make sure to unknowing frown on occasion to rest your knowing and smiling muscles! Oh right that’s not a question-Uh... Kyle, Ian. Ice cream cake. Yay or Nay? 23:01 - Do you think Boom Sonic could transform in to Super Sonic using the Chaos Crystals? The Crystals and Emeralds seem to be rather similar in power and nature, but each crystal seems to have some sort of elemental name such as the Shock Crystal or Tidal Crystal. Despite there being 8 of them, are the Chaos Crystals fundamentally the same as Chaos Emeralds? 25:51 - Yo! Mighty Man of Flynn! Are you still holding your breath for a Dofus Book 2 movie like I am or are you just happy to get what you get at this point? 31:35 - Alright answer me this mr "scientist". It's a national tragedy! Cream trips on Froggy and Big almost falls on Cheese, the two decide there's no other way to settle this than a trial by COMBAT! Who wins? Who loses? And how much collateral damage is caused in the process!? 33:20 - How come Sonic never arrest Eggman? It’s not like they’re above putting the bad guys in jail given that Rough and Tumble got arrested twice. Mimic was too dangerous to be left free and even Zavok was arrested after the metal virus situation. So why not Eggman himself? 37:03 - So Ian, Now that Starline has some uh... free time. What would happen if he decided to interact with other villains? How would he react to Bowser? Would Kamek get mad? Would Mario be in trouble? 42:34 - I was recently playing through Sonic Adventure and noticed something weird in Act 2 of Red Mountain that I was hoping you could shed some light on. There is some strange imagery in some of the decorative assets such as graves, crosses, and glowy creatures behind bars. These things bring some dark implications to the Floating Island. What is buried in its volcanic core? Who are the prisoners and what are they made of?? 43:53 - Ian even though this is treading into lost hedgehog tales, what was O'Knux's new personality going to be? and Anti-Espio's personality? I would laugh if his personality is a combo of AkaNininjer (the ninjas sentai that dont hide) and Naruto Uzumaki the brash loudmouth ninja 45:11 - Given how #50 is very explicit about Eggman actually planning ahead, what was the reason behind your stance shift? Was it fan backlash? Sega's input? Involvement with Frontiers? Or your own reassessment based on things like the Egg Carrier 2 from SA1, his plan in Unleashed, etc? 48:12 - If surge lost a bet and had to do whatever Kit wanted her to do for a day but it can't be anything he knows she wants to do or she tells him to. What would Kit have her do, how would she deal with it and once the day is up how bad would Surges Revenge be? 49:35 - When it comes to writing for comics, how do you find a good balance for fighting scenes? Not something on the scale of Dragon Ball epic galaxy-throwing, but more of 2 parties come across each other and have a disagreement, just to keep it vague and open for the kind of writing or genre. I feel there needs to be a good balance so that there's a good bit of action to reward the reader, but not go on so long and blow the production budget. 53:00 - With writing characters, you always want to make sure you have an idea of who they are and what they are like in the universe they live in. One important aspect of that is giving those characters flaws, either it is a bad temper or a point of view that is different from your own. Recently, however, many people, at least to me, seem to have viewed those flaws as bad writing. To make a long question short, what do think is the best approach to handling those kinds of criticism thrown at you, and how do you determine what is bad writing on the writer's part, or rather when do you think that what the character is doing is right for that character's goals and personality? 57:56 - Ian if you were to adapt the Mega Man Zero series how might you expand on elements we saw in the games? Particularly elements like the 4 Guardians and their personalities? 1:00:32 - Is SEGA willing to accept pitches for powered up states not granted by conventional power sources (the emeralds)? Like Excalibur and Darkspine Sonic. Maybe we can get psuedo-super forms for characters who are normally allowed to have them like Amy and Rouge. 1:04:49 - It's time for another DeAtH BaTTle!! Who would win: Uncle Chuck or Chuck Thorndyke? They're both old, wise scientists who have aided the party in immeasurable ways, but in hand-to-hand combat, which one of the Chucks would reign supreme? If the two could call upon their friends for help, would the Freedom Fighters or the core Sonic X cast help tip the scales? 1:06:38 - As a bit of a follow up to my question regarding the potential placement of Team Sonic Racing after the Metal Virus, since we don’t see Zavok again until the beginning of Bad Guys when he’s imprisoned, would you say that he either escaped or was rescued by someone like Eggman or Dodonpa before racing and ultimately getting imprisoned, or did someone like Eggman or Dodonpa break him out of prison in order to race only to send him back to prison after? Do you have any ideas or head canon as to how this could have happened, or perhaps a completely different scenario? I’m interested in how you would approach squeezing this in if asked to by SEGA or IDW. 1:07:44 - Who were the remaining members of Mogul's Four Elite? 1:10:05 - From a story standpoint, would there be any use for more E-100 series robots? 1:10:47 - If Surge is based off of Sonic DNA, can she potentially go Super? ------------------------------------------- 1:11:47 - Thanks to those who support the show 1:14:05 - Outtake 1 1:14:20 - Outtake 2 1:14:31 - Outtake 3 1:16:26 - Outtake 4
Dr. Starline ends up in the Kingdom Hearts universe: Starline: ok so you have 12 version of yourselves, 4 of which are your different incarnations and 8 you force your essence into them. You harassed all the worlds to force the guardians of Light into a war. Then scouted out the 7 princesses of hearts just in case of a emergency and you sent your strongest member to get the guardians. What could possibly go wrong (Sora resets the timeline and defeats the org members) Starline: HOW?! Xehanort: honestly this boy is a enigma
Starline arrives in the Pokemon World Starline: so sorry you lost that little bout, Giovanni, but no matter lets just rally our forces and overwhelm this kid through sheer- where are you going? Disbanding?! SIR IT WAS ONE FIGHT!
The only one of the Elite Four you named was Ixis Vale, a bird of some kind, which I believe you derived from an exclamation of "Vail's Bones!" back in an early Karl Bollers story.
Adding on to this, there was a neat retcon that Vale's remains was connected to the wind in Windy Valley. The remaining three presumably were tied to other elements, though that's conjecture
...By any chance, have you heard their answer to the question "What kind of ice cream flavour would each of the Sonic cast like" (August 9th 2021 if you're curious)?
With all the crossovers Sonic has had, I'd actually love to see him meet the Power Rangers. I know they are different, but there is enough DNA there, I think. They share similar themes, they fight robots, and they both tend to do so with cool rock music!
1:00 Just say "slash" with no back or forward. We'll figure out it for ourselves. 2:30 I feel like Black Arms have a liiiiiittle more identity. 8:00 I forgot, who was Nina (checks). Now I remember. WAAAAAAAH! 36:00 Oh god, this is perfect. We need Flynn as Wes. 43:20 Do echidnas have a thing with ghosts? Sandopolis, Boom Boo, those things. 45:30 Did Eggman "plan ahead" in #50? He just quickly came up with a solution using the tools he had. Okay, he had googles prepared, but that's not the plan, just very obvious precaution. 47:42 Kyle, I'm very mad about it. 1:04:20 Big's real name is "Medium". He's constantly in super form, it just won't turn off. 1:09:30 In Secret FF story of Sonic Universe (SU 43 or 44 I think) you showed one of them, a bird lady, Ixis Vale
Hang on, Yellow Zebraman the Metarex (I don't know his name and I refuse to Google it) is yellow, loves eating and is an alien. Zomom is yellow, loves eating and is an alien. The Deadly Six was even more unoriginal than I thought! Also, since Ian didn't answer the Metarex vs Black Arms part of the question, I imagine the Metarex would win, since Dark Oak beat Super Sonic whilst the former was in his base form, whereas Super Shadow defeated Devil Doom when the latter was in their most powerful form. Even if the Black Arms managed to get the upper hand, there's always Final Mova, which could just self destruct and destroy the entire universe.
Question: I wanna ask about Surge's inevitable reformation. I mean, is that how her power works? You squash her and then she re-forms back into her original shape? What we see makes it a bit unclear what exactly her regeneration does. Is she immortal?
Scenario: For whatever reason, Sega asks you to write a story that involves Chris Thorndyke in a big way, but you may use him in any context as long as it's still in the Sonic universe. How would you go about doing it?
Question : If Eggbosses would have an opportunity to quit Eggman, maybe in some king of a desperate catastrophic for Empire situation where either control panel over their cybernetics got destroyed or some Enerjak-like energy either stripped them of their cybernetics or just made them unaffectable by Eggman, how many of them would Stay with Eggman?
Do you know if Sonic 4 is considered canon? Since Episode 3 never got made the story was never “complete” so I wondered if that affected its place in canon. If it is canon, do you know when it takes place?
I can tell you I'd rather see over designed Power Ranger (Super Sentai) style villains than second rate Mario villain knockoffs. And like Power Rangers, Sonic fights a lot of Kaiju. Tails also have a transforming mech and in Sonic X it's pretty big! Also like Sentai, Sonic is associated with his poses.
26:00 Well actually you need to prononce the S at the end of Dofus, since it's a proper noun and these are invariable. :3 Also, the whole thing about Ankama is that all of their money comes from the Dofus MMO, which isn't as popular as it once was, so the studio is lacking funds.
Hey Ian, i've been wondering.. in issue 3 of impostor syndrome, Starline mentions that he's the only one who can maintain Surge's and Kit's enhancements. So now that starline is taking a... "break" with no plans to come back, does this means Surge and Kit now are in a race against time to figure out how to maintain their upgrades? specially Surge, since her enhancements are directly related with movement, and things that are in constant use can deteriorate faster.
Question: How would you incorporate NiGHTS (who pretty much counts as a Sonic character at this point) into IDW. Would it be something extravagant or something more simple like them visiting the dreams of various the children shown throughout the series like the park ranger's son and Cream?
You are tolled by Sega to bring Sonic Says into the modern comic how do you fit it in? PS Orbot and Cubot would be there instead of Scratch and Grounder.
1:01:02 So that's why the Chaos Emeralds have to be sentient in one way or another, like the whole Mjolnir thing. "You don't deserve the Super Form because the Great Chaos said so."
@@fort2558 Well. Not the biggest shark to jump. Some bs like: Chaos Emeralds work like batteries just fine, but if you want to go uber, you have to be "worthy"; or Chaos Emeralds just don't care what they used for most of the time, they don't mind the ..chaos. I dunno. The male hedgehog rule is stupid. P.s. Also I didn't mean to word it this way in the original comment, but it would make sense why Eggman can power his stuff, cuz it's Chaos, they do genocide. Idfk.
Hmm… The Starline Isekai adventures sound fun, but how would that same concept translate to RPGs and their plots? Platformer villains like Bowser, Wily and Eggman are «designed» to be easily defeatable. But RPG villains tend to be written to be more «competent» or have more cohesive plans at least. Unless they are shadowy forces like Sephiroth or the like. Would probably takes a bit of the fun out of inserting Starline into things I can imagine...
technically Based on TailsTube#2 when eggman speaks about forces as his last conquest or whatever, that would put TSR before forces. Unless something down the line places it after forces
The word he used was "campaign", which can either mean "an organized course of action to achieve a goal" or "a series of military operations intended to achieve a particular objective". If the former was meant, then it kinda fits, but if he meant the latter, then TSR could still take place after Forces.
@@lerona.martyr3811 I've spent too much time in my life wondering about stuff like "what happened to Blaze at the end of 06". I am so very thankful that we have the comics and TailsTube (at least it gives some semblance of an answer) to elaborate on that stuff. We wouldn't know why the Wisps are suddenly on Sonic's world, why a phantom Metal Sonic was used in the place of the real thing, what happened to G.U.N. etc.
@@J.R.Unbound runners mentioned about why the wisps are on earth tho. but i agree with the metal sonic thing. The idea that SEGA is actually trying now to clean up the lore and really organise it is probably making alot of us happy
@@lerona.martyr3811 The amount of "2 worlds is dead!" celebrations I saw surprised me, honestly. You'd think after 06 and the like that nobody would care about it anymore, but I guess it goes to show how much people love Sonic's world. And wow, Runners originally had that explanation? I'll go check- SEGA WHY IT WAS A YEAR COME ON I WAS JUST PRAISING YOU

20:30 - Hey Ian, in light of all the various "Moebian version" of characters we get, one I've yet to see too see is Moebian Uncle Chuck. Now we know that Evil Jules was neglectful of young Scourge but what about Evil Chuck? Did Evil Chuck give Scourge his first leather jacket and sunglasses? Did Evil Uncle Chuck teach Scourge to be a hellion? Is Evil Uncle Chuck just Ron Perlman from Sons of Anarchy but a Hedgehog with a cool mustache?

The only one of the Elite Four you named was Ixis Vale, a bird of some kind, which I believe you derived from an exclamation of "Vail's Bones!" back in an early Karl Bollers story.
Adding on to this, there was a neat retcon that Vale's remains was connected to the wind in Windy Valley. The remaining three presumably were tied to other elements, though that's conjecture

47:42 Kyle, I'm very mad about it.
1:04:20 Big's real name is "Medium". He's constantly in super form, it just won't turn off.
1:09:30 In Secret FF story of Sonic Universe (SU 43 or 44 I think) you showed one of them, a bird lady, Ixis Vale

Even if the Black Arms managed to get the upper hand, there's always Final Mova, which could just self destruct and destroy the entire universe.
Multiverse time travel should be the only way to do the time travel story, since a system that allows paradoxes is not a good system.

Well actually you need to prononce the S at the end of Dofus, since it's a proper noun and these are invariable. :3
Also, the whole thing about Ankama is that all of their money comes from the Dofus MMO, which isn't as popular as it once was, so the studio is lacking funds.

"break" with no plans to come back, does this means Surge and Kit now are in a race against time to figure out how to maintain their upgrades? specially Surge, since her enhancements are directly related with movement, and things that are in constant use can deteriorate faster.
'Break'? he's DEAD!
Question: How would you incorporate NiGHTS (who pretty much counts as a Sonic character at this point) into IDW. Would it be something extravagant or something more simple like them visiting the dreams of various the children shown throughout the series like the park ranger's son and Cream?
How would you write the Deadly Six in a Sonic X Miraculous Ladybug crossover, can Zeti be Akumatized?
You are tolled by Sega to bring Sonic Says into the modern comic how do you fit it in? PS Orbot and Cubot would be there instead of Scratch and Grounder.
There was Ixis Vale, but that was about it.
1:01:02 So that's why the Chaos Emeralds have to be sentient in one way or another, like the whole Mjolnir thing. "You don't deserve the Super Form because the Great Chaos said so."
That would be nice but then eggman also couldn't use the emeralds for his big death machines he still can use them to power em
@@fort2558 Well. Not the biggest shark to jump. Some bs like: Chaos Emeralds work like batteries just fine, but if you want to go uber, you have to be "worthy"; or Chaos Emeralds just don't care what they used for most of the time, they don't mind the ..chaos.
I dunno. The male hedgehog rule is stupid.
P.s. Also I didn't mean to word it this way in the original comment, but it would make sense why Eggman can power his stuff, cuz it's Chaos, they do genocide. Idfk.
@@Tyulenin i agree the male hedgehog rule is stupid as heck
Hmm… The Starline Isekai adventures sound fun, but how would that same concept translate to RPGs and their plots? Platformer villains like Bowser, Wily and Eggman are «designed» to be easily defeatable. But RPG villains tend to be written to be more «competent» or have more cohesive plans at least. Unless they are shadowy forces like Sephiroth or the like. Would probably takes a bit of the fun out of inserting Starline into things I can imagine...
This was the beginning of the isekai adventures, I’m guessing?
Question oh bumblefellows
Does rush take place before or after rivals in the timeline
Whoever makes the thumbnails either needs a raise, or needs to be fired.
I’m not sure which….
You're welcome. I'd apologize, but I'm not sorry about it!
Hi Ian Flynn, do you miss me commenting in the comics? I’m very lonely here!
technically Based on TailsTube#2 when eggman speaks about forces as his last conquest or whatever, that would put TSR before forces. Unless something down the line places it after forces
The word he used was "campaign", which can either mean "an organized course of action to achieve a goal" or "a series of military operations intended to achieve a particular objective". If the former was meant, then it kinda fits, but if he meant the latter, then TSR could still take place after Forces.
@@J.R.Unbound yea it could. SEGA and there wording always does stuff like thus when we want a clear answer. ITS INESCAPABLE
@@lerona.martyr3811 I've spent too much time in my life wondering about stuff like "what happened to Blaze at the end of 06". I am so very thankful that we have the comics and TailsTube (at least it gives some semblance of an answer) to elaborate on that stuff. We wouldn't know why the Wisps are suddenly on Sonic's world, why a phantom Metal Sonic was used in the place of the real thing, what happened to G.U.N. etc.
@@J.R.Unbound runners mentioned about why the wisps are on earth tho. but i agree with the metal sonic thing. The idea that SEGA is actually trying now to clean up the lore and really organise it is probably making alot of us happy
@@lerona.martyr3811 The amount of "2 worlds is dead!" celebrations I saw surprised me, honestly. You'd think after 06 and the like that nobody would care about it anymore, but I guess it goes to show how much people love Sonic's world.
And wow, Runners originally had that explanation? I'll go check- SEGA WHY IT WAS A YEAR COME ON I WAS JUST PRAISING YOU
16:19 nooo they skipped the kit question dammit even in question he is still being ignored
Oh poor Doctor Starline. Just hope you never end up in Final Fantasy.
