January 17th, 2022 Question Timestamps:
2:38 There has been some criticism of your portrayal of Eggman by having other villains upstage him, and for stating on a previous episode that "Eggman never, ever has a solid plan. It's always a big execution, but he never settles on the details." This seems to have been interpreted as you saying Eggman never plans for ANYTHING ever, despite him having made and executed many master plans successfully before. Could you clarify this and expand on your thoughts behind Eggman and his character?
7:11 If given access, would Omega use a Nuclear Warhead directly on Eggman's base or would he prefer a more direct assault to personally end the Dr.?
8:22 I know SEGA are a bit strange when it comes to romance, but any chance there’ll be a bit more focus on Sonic and Amy’s relationship in any of the upcoming issues? Will the feelings that they have for each other be explored a bit more, particularly on sonic’s end?
9:20 Question for Ian and Kyle that's not Sonic related. Have either of you seen Flash Gordon or the Highlander and if so which one do you prefer and why? Is it the Flash with the campy fun insanity or is it the Highlander with the Samurai Swords and weird accents?
13:42 What’s your opinion on silvaze, the ship and/or the friendship, personally I personally love both aspects of that, you don’t have to answer this question if you don’t want to can’t, I just wanted to support the show
16:05 Is there any little mundane interactions between the IDW cast that you don’t think would be enough to pen in a comic but you’d imagine would occur off panel?
17:49 How would Whisper take it if the Diamond Cutters were revived, but for evil?
20:36 Dr Eggman has had many deadly mechs over the years, like the Death Egg Robot, or the Egg dragoon to name a few. Which are your favorites, and which do you hope to potentially see in the Sonic movie universe?
25:32 So Ian, while we all eagerly await for Sticks to eventually make her debut in IDW and all the shenanigans that will come as a result of it, do you think you'll be taking a deeper dive into Sticks character and exploring what makes her tick when she finally gets to appear? In an interview with Hiroyuki Miyazaki when discussing Sticks for Sonic Boom, he described her as a socially awkward character who isn't the most trusting but has a good heart with her having a genuine desire to be close with her new friends ( Sonic and co). I know we all joke about Sticks being a 4th wall breaking conspiracy nut, but there is more to her character than just that and it feels like Boom didn't fully explore that to its full potential.
28:25 So Metroid Dread has been out for a few weeks, and no spoilers for anyone who hasn't played it, but given you've illuminated on it in a previous episode, what are your thoughts on the game overall? What did you think of the Supreme Chozo antagonist, and do you think Samus was given a good characterization compared to previous games?
31:35 Hey guys, I'm sorry to bother you at work, but I had a question. Regarding the Chaos Emeralds. Are there guidelines of what they are or are not able to do? Or what you can or cannot do with them? I dont just mean using them as the solution to a problem, but if you wanted to focus a story on them.
33:48 You say rings are just a gameplay mechanic but since rings are referenced in sonic rivals 2 When knuckles needs to collect them to fuel his emerald detector and silver and espio needs to gather rings to restore silvers powers So they have to be canon unless sega says sonic rivals 2 is non canon Did they say it’s non canon please tell me they did not.
37:56 Has there been any official word on what exactly happened to the Super Emeralds?
38:05 What would Starline be like as a Dungeons and Dragons player? Would he be really rules lawyer-y? Or would he only play as the Dungeon Master?
39:21 Seedrians. They're plants, right? Sooo.. could you pluck a leaf off Cosmo's head and eat it? How good do you think a Seedrian Salad would be? What kind of dressing would go best? I've been trying to eat healthier lately, so this is relevant to my interests.
40:28 Okay, this is technically a Frontiers question but one you might be able to answer. Next year will you be attending conventions (PAX, E3, etc.) To promote and talk about Frontiers or is that tbd?
42:51 What was Starline's civilian life like before he gave it up to work with Eggman? How many bridges did he burn to work with his idol?
44:17 Cards on the table....Ian...Kyle...what are your honest thoughts about Chris Thorndyke?
49:24 After hearing you guys broach the topics of the Sonic movie and upcoming Prime series, as well as the future Netflix Mega Man series, it got me curious about how you would envision a live action Legend of Zelda series. I believe one was originally planned for Netflix years ago but Nintendo canceled it for some reason. But if there was to be a new effort, how would you want to see it handled? Should it adapt any particular entry? Be it's own thing vaguely influenced by the classics such as Ocarina or Twilight Princess or even Breath of The Wild? Or should it just be like a self-contained movie somewhat? Also who should be cast as who?
55:18 Around this time last year I started to really get into the Sonic IDW series. I know this is awhile back, and I apologize if this question was already asked. But I remember back in issue 8#, Silver said something along the lines of “it’s okay if you prefer to work alone. But it looks like to me you’ve put together quite a team. And I’d be proud to be apart of it.” Was it possible someone was foreshadowing a possible relationship in the future with these two? I also really liked how Silver was a complete fanboy for Whisper. And when they were on Angel Island and it was all or nothing for what was left the team. Despite the grim setting, Silver gets immediately excited when he hears he will be teaming with Whisper. Although it might not have been really that long, I really enjoyed their chemistry, and just how excited Silver gets when he’s around Whisper is pretty endearing. If Sega ever started to allow relationships in the comics. Could this be possibility?
57:28 The talk of last episode (12/15/21) reminded me of a conversation I had about super heroes killing with my old college professor. We discussed how Batman and Superman feel like killing is a moral failure, probably because their training to fight injustice started as children, while characters such as Captain America and Iron Man (being a soldier and military industrialist, respectively) aren’t completely removed from seeing killing as an option, not a desired one and a last resort but an option nonetheless. My question is, are there any characters un the sonic universe that view killing as an option. I think the implication is there with Shadow, but what about other GUN agents like Rouge and Omega?
1:01:21 There's a theory that when the Hulk snapped everyone back to life in Avengers Endgame that he may have re-killed a bunch of those people because where they got snapped back to was different five years later - people on airplanes who reappeared in midair and fell Wile E. Coyote style to their deaths, for example. So my question is... did anything like that happen with the zombot virus? There were a bunch of zombots trying to get to Angel Island right before the good guys saved the day. Zavok even scooped a bunch of them out of the water. Was there anyone trapped underwater or under the wreckage of Eggman's face ship when Super Silver yeeted the metal virus off them? Maybe some who suddenly woke up and found themselves in the middle of a desert or on top of a mountain? Trapped in a burning building? In the tiger enclosure at the freaking zoo?! Do they even have zoos on Sonic's world?! I demand answers, Mr. Flynn!!! ...and by demand, I mean ask politely. Please and thank you?
1:04:54 Have you thought about using the Special Stages in IDW Sonic?
The show tries to make Chris relatable while also making him part of the 1%, and also a student at the nicest school you'll ever see. The Japanese version does a better job at portraying his abandonment issues which helps him be more sympathetic, particularly in a scene that was cut in the dub where we see his parents leaving him when he's much younger, promising they'll be back sooner if he behaves. He takes that to heart and tries his best to be good, only for them to not come back any sooner, and he realised they were just lying to him.
But yeah, that one moment at the end of S2 where he endangers everyone because he doesn't wanna say goodbye to Sonic hurts his character a lot. But in fairness, Sonic also shares 50% of the blame there because he went along with it until Chris got over it. S3 builds up his character a lot better but I don't know why they decided to be like "Oh he's a blackbelt now, so he can fight alongside Sonic and his friends! Eeeeeexcept he can't because he de-aged and lost all his fighting ability."
I think Chris is fine overall, he definitely gets hated on way more than necessary, but he does fail at the role he was meant to fulfil as a surrogate for the audiance.
19:45 aww their first quarrel as a ship, hope their relationship comes out if this even stronger!
IDK why but the way Ian delivered the line “what do you mean he lost?” Just killed me XD. It had a plankton energy to it.
Whisper is one of my favourite characters, I love her arc and I identify with her, because I'm partly like that. Sonic helping her to open up to others and Tangle getting closer to her, so that in a very short time they become friends is very nice. And because the character is so cool.
Helen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> chris.
Interesting character dynamic with Sonic, lovely episode.
There's literally an entire cutscene in Unleashed dedicated to SA-55 pointing out that Eggman doesn't think ahead. SA-55 mentions that Eggman already had the emeralds but then tossed them out into the vacuum of space along with Sonic for no reason. Plus he unleashed Dark Gaia and had no way of controlling it and got blasted away by it.
That's also why SA-55 is the worst part of Unleashed. We don't really NEED the flaws in Eggman's plans spelled out in-story, and logically speaking, Eggman building a robot that does that is very against his character.
But I'd also be more than happy to launch Orbot and Cubot straight into the trash can, so what do I know?
@@YourUncleBenis huh?
@@gracekim25 You heard what I said.
seriously sa 55 i have no idea what that is
For Zavokyle, we ride the Algorithm Quest!
Adding on that question about which Sonic characters would kill. I do think Espio would be fine with killing someone himself, where as Vector would probably be in the same boat as Knuckles & Rouge really.
Words have never been so true on Ian's opinions on Chris. You were standing on your soap box there for a min, my guy. Straight up fax.
Toss a coin to your Witcher but it’s tingle. I would watch that
Timestamping my favorite parts again ^-^
18:35 Zavokyle & Strings on this Ship (I was literally wheezing at this part)
36:12 Rude Tutorial
1:00:37 Cream would be most likely to kill someone
When it comes to Sticks, I’d love to see her in IDW. Any form really.
Fine, Sticks comes to IDW as a non-sapient slug that doesn't talk.
You see, she took that form to root out all of the non-sapient slugs that control the government. THEY'RE the reason there's no money!
I didn’t love Boom, but I’d be fine with Sticks coming back. She was a very creative character.
43:00 I like that answer.
Good to hear you feeling better Kyle. Now for my question. Sonic and Blaze must have a very high metabolism due to their super speed. Do Sonic and Blaze eat like Goku or does Sonic eat like Goku and Blaze has class?
2:40 1st question
Long Time No See!
Question:
Mobian Biology 101. Superpowers: Some guys like Silver have vaaague excuse for their powers. Others like Rouge might just be good genes and cardio. But then we have Cream or Tangle. How?
Is Mammoth Mogul still around, giving powers to good little children that eat their veggies and brush teeth before sleep?
Are they random mutations ala Tails, in this cartoon world meaning magic tail and insane butt muscles?
Or can all rabbits fly with ears but they are all just cowards?
How would you imagine Tangle, Silver, Starline, Rough & Tumble, Surge & Kit, and Deadly Six interactions with Miracles Ladybug cast.
Found this:
You say rings are just a gameplay mechanic but since rings are referenced in sonic rivals 2 When knuckles needs to collect them to fuel his emerald detector and silver and espio needs to gather rings to restore silvers powers So they have to be canon unless sega says sonic rivals 2 is non canon Did they say it’s non canon please tell me they did not.
33:50 the Rings are *Game Meccanic*
Glad to see you back, Kyle! Your absence was felt!
Also, I'm blaming all of my erotic Bumblekast fanfiction on Ian, so don't worry too much about ship talk.
I like how Amy is winking and nudging Blaze in the thumbnail, like she's saying, "Hey, you should listen to the Bumblekast. Heh."
Also, welcome back Kyle!
I’m glad Kyle is feeling better.
rest in piece, Chris Thorndyke.
Just here to bring attention to the glory that is #ZavokKyle
Mmm I didn’t know Chris was whinny 😅
But um yeah the suggestions you made to fix him I totally get 🤷♀️
5.12.22
Due to the similarities, is Uzume tennouboshi/Kurome ankokuboshi from Megadimension Neptunia VII related to the Phantom ruby if not created it? @bumblecast
27:20 she definitely wasn’t used as the butt of jokes as often as Sonic and Knuckles.
Q&A Question: When Cosmo returns to the series (Games, IDW comics or both), could her older sister Galaxina also be spared from her death and join her little sister on her adventures with Sonic? #SaveCosmo/#SaveGalaxina
Big gets into a three way car accident with Starline and Mimic, Surge is in the back of Starlines car and Cream is in the back of Bigs. Mimic is also packing heat. Describe the chaos.
34:00 Rivals canon......
Good to hear you're feeling better Kyle.
I think SEGA’s holding off on IDW using Sticks as they may have plans to have her appear in Sonic Prime.
They're back
Hay Ian, Kyle, welcome back and hope you had a happy new year. Also, your picture of this podcast date is set for 2021 not 2022. Just letting you know. 😅
Curses, I thought I'd scrubbed 2021 off of everything! -Kyle
Lol you just destroyed Christopher Thorndyke. But wouldn’t you say you had a helping hand in his character/development. After all, you did write some Sonic X comics.
Hey Ian and Kyle, what are your favourite intepretations or storylines of spider-man?
Ian keep ships out of the comics! Like you said let the shippers fight amongst themselves lol
Boy, Flynn REALLY doesn’t like Chris. I found Chris boring, but I don’t hate him.
I’m from the far-off year of 2024. What happened to Kyle?
Ah, COVID. I figured as much based on the video timing. Sorry that happened!
Glad to have you back chief
9:00 I honestly never get tired of the chase.
Not to bring up the Ian/Kyle ship discussion again, but did I hear Ian's voice turn into Miss Piggy? And then into Kermit? Oh dear 🤣
They’re back.
again, and about time too
Are there posibilities of create a Lynx like a new character? Like a new partner to Blaze for example? Blaze need a new adventure partner to complete the group of Blaze and Silver. I think would be a nice addition.
Between questions about Starline and the chaos emeralds I hope there comes an opportunity to touch on how he got them all for Eggman. It was cool how it played out to have them for The Deadly Six to get but it raises questions about how they should generally be kept out of evil hands, what the heroes should do if they need them in general and why nobody (particularly Starline proving capable on a whim) has retaken them, or even just a single one to always protect, to utilize in any current designs (unless I’m missing something from not having not kept up to date on the Zeti Hunt or Imposter Syndrome arcs.
-but if we’re gonna alternatively question rings then we gotta ask the real questions here. Is Channel Pup’s Bee Theory real?! Sega can’t hide the truth forever...!
AH Good to hear Kyles on the mend!
19:04 lol, Zavokyle.
17:26 totally agree. That’s one of my main criticisms about Sonic Boom.
They're backkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!
Main takeaways:
Zavok = Kyle
Kyan (KyleXIan) confirmed
I suppose the most satisfying way to do a Styx arc that might work is have her confront any trauma etc that has made Styx the way she is but instead of it changing her she accepts herself
52:52 Why would any ever wanna make a LoZ thing grounded? That sounds horrible!
32:15 wait a fucking second.. Ian?
2:47 well, Eggman does get upstaged by lots of other villains in the games and cartoons. And he’s known for being impulsive and not thinking things through.
26:18 sometimes black comedy.
