  • In this series of videos, I begin my in-depth review and analysis of the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series. In today's video, we cover the first half of the Metal Madness Arc covering the introductions, reintroductions, and everything these comics have to offer. I'm reviewing this series as both a Sonic-mega fan and also from a narrative analysis point of view to best praise and critique these comics in all the ways they deserve. So let's finish off the Metal Madness Arc, shall we?

    I think rouge was speaking metamoriphically when she said "looking for the strongest threat" as she was referencing neo metal sonic.

    Hey, Nick! Glad to see you again with another IDW review. Regarding Silver's destroyed future as a continuous plot thread, would it be better if SEGA/Sonic Team retconned that and make Silver stay in Sonic's timeline? I can understand why some fans are annoyed with Silver randomly coming back on a whim. One could argue that if he stays in the present with Sonic, his overall purpose/motivation wouldn't feel redundant.
    I agree with what you said about Sonic and Silver's dynamic. Sonic's confidence and cocky nature, mixed with Silver's inexperience and dorky nature creates a nice counterbalance between them. If Silver wasn't from the future, I'd happily ship him with the Blue Blur. (I headcanon Sonic as bi, accepting anyone regardless of gender).
    I still appreciate Sonamy, but shipping in the Sonic fandom is like an experiment. I like to expand my horizons. That's what makes it fun and unique. Whether a ship is canon or not, all that really matters is the potential that ship has and how one views it from a different angle. How do you feel about my approach with this?
    Also, the debut of Dr. Starline is a nice way to wrap up the end of the MM Arc. When I first learned about this character, I initially assumed he was going to be a "Snively" wannabe, but I'm glad I was wrong about that later on. As I saw more of his accomplishments throughout future issues, he immediately became my favorite villain in the Sonic series. Much more than Zavok or the Zeti by a longshot. Mephiles and Merlina were memorable, but Starline outshines them in terms of design and popularity.

      I think the ships are fun but not really the point of the series. I think people often see characters as friends and fill the blanks in their mind with things that aren’t there, but as long as it’s all in the name of fun and views aren’t being forced onto others I don’t think any shipping or head cannons are harmful.

      @@ItsNickForShort That's understandable. I can already imagine Silver's first date with the charismatic Blue Blur. Sonic being the suave gentleman carrying Silver bridal style when they're travelling the world, Silver cooking chili dogs for Sonic, and their first kiss at Seaside Hill during a calm and relaxing sunset.

    7:03 I audibly uttered the phrase “They’re Vegeta-ing the fucking hedgehog!”
    I like Vegeta but Shadow isn’t supposed to be Vegeta. He’s supposed to be a foil to Sonic just like Vegeta is to Goku, sure, but they don’t have the same motivations

    Wait when has Shadow been been interested in working in teams outside of Team Dark or helping in situations that have nothing to do with him and are outside his interest?
    Maybe it's something in Battle? I haven't beaten it yet, though I know part of why he's interested in Emerl is related to his past.
    I do have some problems with his characterization in IDW (mainly a certain scene in the Metal Virus saga and how he treats Rouge), but his antisocial nature and the tinker situation are not a problem for me.

    • @shupasopni
      @shupasopni Рік тому

      Granted, yeah I don't remember him ever being interested in seeking out strong enemies for the sake of it besides Sonic, who is as far as I know the only person he ever seeks to challenge for any sort of ego reason outside of maybe Extreme Gear racing in that one game.
