How Tails Became The Worst Sonic Character

  • Aside from Sonic & Eggman, I think it’s safe to say Tails is the most popular character in the franchise. He’s been around only one year less than his spiky blue friend and man what a crazy 29-year journey’s been for the kid. Over the years Tails has seen many different iterations and all have been of differing degrees of quality. His cute and lovable energy hasn’t been enough to protect him from being absolutely obliterated in recent Sonic The Hedgehog stories. From being portrayed as a wimp, overly needy child, and an absolute jerk; it hasn’t been an easy road for the two-tailed fox. Find out how Tails became the worst Sonic The Hedgehog character in this video!

Meanwhile in Forces, if Sonic is left idle, he doesn't do anything. Not even blink! Are idle animations a big deal in the grand scheme of things? Ofcourse not, its just a little thing. However if you can't take the time and care to focus on the things, how can you possibly expect the big things to get the proper attention they deserve?

      More like they didn't want him to be the latter because that would threaten Sonic's standing. They don't want him to be Miles "Tails" Prower-just Tails. Even though his tails are what allow him to be fast and combative on his own as well as flighted and pun names are geeky by definition. Or maybe they just want his real name to reference his VEHICLES, or him being a Sonic fanboy. Or maybe Takashi Iizuka just doesn't get the pun, which would be typical of him. Or maybe the devs don't want to stump the Japanese audience with a pun on a Western measure of speed. Whatever the logic, _they certainly don't want him to be fast._

    In sonic Chronicles, Tails is still kind of an information machine (constantly reminding you to save your game), BUT they still managed to make him have an interesting character. Sonic left for a long time, and Tails was forced to take a leadership role in his absence, even helping knuckles protect the master emerald. Lots of things have changed since Sonic left, and Tails is one of them.
    Just goes to show that you can use him for exposition while still giving him some character.

    Tails is a character I've always appreciated as a sort of softer side to Sonic's more radical nature, I feel it compliments the overall dynamic well. Since he's a younger character I feel as though discovery is the best path for him. In Sonic Adventure he discovered his inner strength, in Sonic Forces there was the potential for Tails to discover his inner weakness and come out stronger because of it, but the story failed at that. Tails has the potential to discover so much more about himself and the world around him and I hope this is something that gets focused on in the future.

    Tails had downgraded by an insane amount. I loved him so much for many reasons. His adorable design, his personality outside of writing, he's pleasant to listen to for the most part and had his own character arc in the Adventure games. Even with bad writing, his voice keeps me from disliking him more than I already do. Sonic Adventure 1, Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic X is where he is at his best. He's a great mechanic and some of his creations actually amaze me, he's one of the smartest characters in the franchise and outsmart most of his friends who are older than him, he's a caring person and is willing to help and protect his friends like he did with Cosmo, he became more independent and was able to do something without relying on Sonic and he's just a nice guy to have around before he became a wimp and a total jerk, which both frustrates me and breaks my heart seeing a beloved character fall so low just by shitty writing. Sonic X Tails is my favorite honestly. He was at his best in Sonic Adventure, but Sonic X has my favorite version by far. He's still the cute, friendly and smart yellow fox we all love, but he was also kind of a badass, especially in the final season. He's such a lovable guy that I felt sorry for him when he's upset. He also showed bravery and the determination to protect his friends, even if he can't win, as shown that he confronted Shadow, who is stronger than Tails and won't let anyone stop him and Tails decided to fight him and didn't give up. He used ways to stop Shadow in his tracks, moving from place to place from laser walls invisible to the naked eye to sending Shadow into the Sonic Power Cannon, which fired him out. He nearly succeeded if not for the fake Emerald Shadow had used for Chaos Control. He fought against Shadow, even if it causes his death to protect Cosmo. And now to mention the best part of season 3, which is my favorite season surprisingly despite the fanservice and awesomeness of the Sonic Adventure games animated in the show. The friendship between Tails and Cosmo has to be the best part and match perfectly with each other. I love both characters a lot already seperatly and having them together makes me adore them. Tails and Cosmo developed an unbreakable bond and seeing then together makes me happy. They are so adorable and Tails tries to help her and comforts her when she doubts herself. He even has grown to love her and he did anything in his power to protect her and keep her away from Shadow. Seeing Cosmo's death devastated me, not only because one of the most underrated and my personal favorite character in Sonic X dies, but also because of the reaction of Tails. He cares so much about Cosmo that he can't shoot her, because he cared more for her than anyone and when he pulled the trigger, he was left devastated from losing her and that's heartbreaking. Tails used to be number 4 on my favorite Sonic characters, but due to how horrible he's treated lately made him drop down to number 6. The only thing keeping him from getting lower on the list is that his voice is still nice to hear and the ones who voice him do a good job voicing him. Imagine hearing the Tails from now with good writing.

I really do. I hate it because it is unfair to him and unfair to his voice actors who are good choices but can't seem to get any good lines at all. Honestly Pontaff should step down. He has been ruining these characters for a decade or in Tail's case making him worse. I hope with all my heart that Tails can be good again and every character can be good again in either a game, movie, or tv show cause they all deserve it especially our favorite two tailed fox.

    I personally don't like the movie interpretation of sonic because he just seems like a kid finding his way in the world which is supposed to be tails' role. I like how sonics theme in sonic adventure 2 describes him to be, someone who already knows his place in the world. somebody who understands life is limited and precious and lets people live life how they want to unless it interferes with life (like how Eggman enslaves animals). Sonic lives life his own way and although he is still learning about the world, I feel he's way too clueless and childlike in the sonic movie. In the games and comics, sonics a hero. In the movie, he's some kid with superpowers and it feels like a massive downgrade of his character to me.

    Yeah he is awsome in Sonic X. Its actully a really interesting take on this. Unlike Adveture and Mania Tails in Sonic X he has very little combat capabilties but his tech genius thing is turned up to eleven. He, an 8 year old fox boy, build a giant space ship, with warp function, an energy shield, laser weapons, a security system, a hangar with a bunch of space jets and that giant Sonic Power canon. He serves as both enginier and capt of the ship and the fact that he is in physical combat relativly weak makes it honestly cool to watch him try if he got backed in to a corner. When he tried to Protect Cosmo from Shadow it was cleaer he was willing to fight till his last breath. There is somthing beautiful about the weak taking action.

    When it comes to tails, or most sonic charcters, they tend to suffer from the same issues found in the series that it partially takes inspiration from: the writers don't really know what to do with characters outside of their initial appearance. None of them really have over arching goals, and the story structure for sonic games isn't so dynamic that charcters can fill various positions in them.

    1. They were new, never-before-seen-at-the-time enemies
    2. He was outnumbered, and more than likely couldn't gather the courage to fight them all off before Sonic arrived, the TItan especially.

I think it also helps that for the rest of Unleashed Tails is on character.

    I was angry at everyone for bringing Tails down and I always said that that moment was a perfect development moment for Tails because he had to act angry at some point.
    Yet over the years I had gotten so used to it then I find myself agreeing with those people yet just now when it was mentioned in this video I immediately remembered how I stuck up for Tails with that scene and I hoped that I wasn’t following the bandwagon of everyone saying that it was a prime example of how out of character Tails was.
    Yet thanks to Ricardo aka Speed Super Sonic I FINALLY understand why people hate it for he actually did bring up my first thoughts over that scene which was Tails had to be angry at some point but what makes it so out of character is that he never learns from it. Now I finally understand why people hate it so much and I don’t have to feel bad about following that bandwagon and have it be my own opinion and not just follow anybody.

In Sonic X I don't like it when Cream and Cheese crys more than the other Sonic characters and gets scared the most sometimes. In one episode I don't like it when Cream gets mad at Chris and running away crying. She crys the most and she is younger than Tails. Tails is 8 and Cream is 6. At least Cream fights Emerl in one episode of Sonic X.

In their leisure time, Tails gets high on his mechanical projects like a crazy scientist, and never stops doing stuff, while Sonic's just a lazy ass... But when shit hits the fan, Sonic takes over and Tails goes along like a backup hero, ready to take the lead role if needed. It's a great duo dynamic!

    Its depressing that Sonic Team just doesn't have the passion to write an interesting story arc for Tails like the Adventure days. Not only that, but other characters like Knuxs, Shadow, and rest of Sonic's main buds who are just background characters with barely any personality or purpose. Knuxs might not be the smartest tool in the shed, but still Sonic Team royally disrespected Knuxs character in Boom and Forces. Im not even a Knuxs fan, but man Sonic Team might as well keep Knuxs guarding the Master Emarld cuz it's depressing to see how Sonic Team made Knuxs dumb as bricks. For Shadow tho, I low-key kinda wish Sonic Team ended of Shadow in SA2 and never come back cuz basically his full on Vegeta the Hedgehog. I like Shadow's arc in SA2 and especially 06. It's cool that Sonic Team written Shadow's arc in 06 where worked with G.U.N. (Literally enemies who took everything from Shadow and want him dead) and had a nice relationship with Rouge n Omega. Kinda wish Sonic Team continue the story of Team Dark instead of Shadow being Vegeta the Edgehog, but I guess Sonic Team just can't figure how to continue Shadow's arc like the rest of the characters.

And instead of him hiding in a corner, Eggman or the other villans could have trapped him in some kind of forcefield or something while sonic was being beaten to a pulp. That would have worked.
