June 21st, 2024 (Mini) Question Timestamps:
------------------------------------------
0:10 - You're tasked with writing a 6 issue Multiversal Sonic story starring IDW Sonic with Archie Sonic, Fleetway Sonic, Manga Sonic, and French Sonic. What do you do?
2:00 - In the Mega Man comics, we've seen Concrete Man and Splash Woman before they sided with Wiley. But what about the other Mega Man 9 Robot Masters? What plans did you have to integrate them into the comics?
*(This is briefly returned to at **4:51**)*
3:59 - Nicole is going through the virtual network and ends up in a strange new world called the Amazing Digital Circus. How does she interact with the people there?
5:04 - How far into the story did you plan for the Mega Man comics?
7:55 - If you had wrote all the way to the Mega Man Legends, how would you have handled the ending? Would you have left it as the games did or would you have written your own personal ending to end things on a happier note?
9:46 - In Archie Comics, one of the alternate realities is a Sailor Moon inspired world with Sally as Sailor Moon, Amy as Chibiusa, and Knuckles as Tuxedo Mask. Which Sonic females would be the other Sailor Scouts?
12:26 - In Archie Solicitations the next cancelled Sonic Universe Arc would have explored the Freedom Fighters individually. First Issue starred Antoine and Sonic, second starred Bunnie with Blaze and Marine, third starred Sally, Nicole, Cream, and Amy. That would mean the fourth part would be with Tails and Rotor. What would that story had been?
13:12 - What plans did you have involving Quake Woman, had the Mega Man comics been allowed to continue?
14:20 - Say you're tasked with writing a comic series where you're adapting card lore from Yu-Gi-Oh! archtypes. Which Archtype would you write a story about first?
15:16 - For this last question, how about we revisit Worlds Unite with a hypothetical scenario where you were allowed to do two more worlds? On the Sega side is Aero the Acro-Bat, on the Capcom side is Ace Attorney. You can even choose the robots that would be sent to these worlds and the characters that are leftover from the recruitment montage to recruit the characters of that respective world. So go ahead and let your creative juices flow!

Tails, Eggman, and Nicole become contestants on Jeopardy. Who wins? The child prodigy, the scientist of many years, or the computer?
I remember the Sailor Moon thing was before Amy used the Ring of Acorns, so she was still young.
Just throw the Albaz lore at Ian. Most of the work is there, all that's left is to add dialogue and the job's done. A jrpg-esque story with a main character that turns into a dragon, that practically prints money.
Hey Ian and Kyle, I've been binging your podcast for a few months while I'm working, you two really help me maintain my dedication, so I would like to know, what do both of you listen while exercising?
Lost Mega Man tales would be cool! I'd love to see where you were going with Quint and the Stardroids. That said, I have to ask, are Lost Hedgehog Tales only Pre-Super Genesis Wave, or are they also Post-Super Genesis Wave? I'd love to see where you were going with Naugus and Eclipse.
14:20 If there ever was a yugioh comic series based around certain archetypes, I'd like them to do something with the Duel Terminal stories. There’s a lot of stuff to mine in both that and the cards themselves, and despite finding some of the archetypes really cool to look at and fun to play when I was younger, I always struggled to care about any of the lore. It felt like trying to connect to the characters in Lord of the Rings by reading Wikipedia’s plot summary, so I'd prefer it if they just retold it in a way that makes me root for characters and care when entire factions are erased.
Then again, they’ve already made a manga for Sky Strikers, so they’d probably do that rather than a full-blown comic.
If we talk Yu-Gi-Oh archetype, Eldlich The Golden Lord would make for peak villain just on the lore alone and if we add his drip, 100 percent villain material for potential goofy story in the same setting that Allies of Justice are.
absolutely agree, and absolutely not because I myself am an Eldlich main (and no, I don't feel guilty)
@@michaelgiuseppesalvatore4912 *one day, we shall dethrone the Silver Castle*
Sometimes I think if the Freedom Fighters ever came back, some of them might get along well with the IDW characters.
Nicole would get along well with Belle for example if her reintroduction meant she was an abandoned AI
3:59 Background for The Amazing Digital Circus and some personal speculation:
The amazing digital circus, from an in-context mechanical standpoint, seems to be a piece of VR software that permanently captures the users' consciousnesses... and possibly their bodies though that part is pretty unclear and based solely on a brief view of an abandoned very 90s looking VR headset hooked up to a very 90s looking computer in a very 90s looking office space at the end of the pilot. Everyone ends up as a fun (and very 90s edutainment program coded) animated character which seems to at least partially reflect their personality, especially their flaws. I'm going to make a confident guess that, upon finding that out, Nicole would be IMMEDIATELY concerned and probably consider how to turn this into a rescue mission, either back to meat-space or to her own networks which are probably more stable. ESPECIALLY when she finds out that eventually everyone who has ended up there before eventually ends up having their personality and digital avatar degrade into glitch-inducing destructive madness (a process called "abstraction" in the show) and then kinda just gets... archived. Presumably aware the entire time.
All of the main drawn-in human characters kinda fit personality archetypes, at least thus far, and would probably interact with her accordingly.
Pomni (looks like a toony jester) is the newest and kind of our PoV character. She is extremely anxious, and tends to succumb to panic, fear, and confusion as she runs into the weirdness of the world, but, at least so far, seems like she's an ultimately good person who can be pretty resourceful when the chips are down. She still wants out, at least so far. I suspect she'd get REAL clingy with Nicole, seeing her as a hope of escape with the ability to make it happen.
Raggatha (the red-headed Rag Doll) is outwardly very gracious, polite, welcoming, and selfless, but definitely bottles up her true feelings and existential dread too much. A new, very nice person like Nicole who is also a potent and kinda alien entity who might make dramatic changes would, at a guess, turn all of those dials up.
Zooble (the collection of miscellaneous objects) is generally abrasive and aloof, but we also haven't really seen enough of them for me to feel confident theory crafting.
Gangle (the ribbony figure with a* ceramic mask) wears her Comedy mask over her Tragedy mask, and shyly behaves according to whichever is visible. Her comedy mask falls off and breaks very easily. Between Nicole potentially providing much needed emotional support and possibly being able to make the Comedy mask a bit less fragile through her digital capabilities may be able to help Gangle maintain a more stable emotional state for a while, if not perfectly.
Jax (the smug, grinning rabbit) seems to live off of schadenfreude, if not outright sadism, saying that he likes to "see funny things happen to people" and being kind of a jack... rabbit, yeah, that's the word. Ethical dilemma of letting him back out into the world or potentially letting him anywhere near Nicole's network vs just leaving him stuck there, probably. He probably has insecurities going on, but we don't know that 2 episodes in, so not enough info to speculate from on that.
Kinger (the chess piece) seems kinda senile and may have lost his wife in the Circus since we see a room with a picture of a Queen chess piece dressed similarly to him on the door and she isn't around. He is easily startled, hides in pillow forts, likes insect collections (or at least verbally fixates on them), and seems oddly knowledgeable about stuff in his more lucid moments. Different ethical dilemma about how to properly care for and respect someone in that kind of situation.
Caine (the funky Ringmaster with a head which is just teeth with eyes in it) is the probably-AI running the place. He generally projects a showman-like personality, but when things are going off track he gets stressed Kermit energy. We do NOT know enough about his motivations, but vibes suggest he might not be comfortable with a probably-more-potent Virtual Intelligence showing up and wanting to fix things and might not handle it super well, especially since we've seen that he (and the Circus in general) is more than a little buggy.
For the curious about when Ian Flynn mentioned where Classic Rock and Roll were, it was on the New Year's Eve 2022/New Year's Day 2023 installment.
Thank you.
The Amazing Digital Circus is at the time of writing only 2 20-25 minute episodes long. It's really good.
3:59 Background on TADC and Personal guesses with what VERY little (2 episodes) we've seen so far, I suspect that Nicole would be... concerned. It seems to be a VR system running on 90s tech that pulls people in permanently, based on what vague, ominous hints we've seen so far, and eventually their psyches degrade enough that the... AI(?) that runs the place (Caine) just kinda... archives them. Alive. In a digital hole, presumably forever.
I suspect that Nicole would quickly turn it into a rescue mission. At a guess, most of the interactions would be as per the character archetypes that seem to have been established so far. Pomni would probably be hopeful for escape and stressed at the other implications of the situation, Ragatha would be gracious and polite but probably bottling up some kind of existential dread, Zooble would be... I wanna say aloof and indifferent but quietly interested, but we genuinely haven't seen as much of Zooble as anyone else, and Gangle.... Gangle would be interesting in that her shtick is that she wears a Comedy mask over a Tragedy mask, and when the Comedy mask is on, she's happy, or appears that way, but it falls off and breaks extremely easily. Nicole may be able to provide enough emotional support (and digital prowess) to help Gangle's emotional state be at least a bit more stable for a while.
Jax and Kinger get... interesting. Jax seems to live off of schadenfreude if not outright sadism. He likes "seeing funny things happen to people," and I'm pretty sure that Nicole would N O T vibe with that. Result? Who knows, but it would be... possibly an ethical dilemma. Kinger is straight up going senile, and we don't have a tonne of other details? He might really likes insects (or at least fixates on the idea of insect collections) and seems to have an impressive amount of understanding about what it means to be a digital construct in his more lucid moments, but the implications of all that are unclear. I have my head canon (as we all do), but I don't know for sure. Also, he might have been there with his wife (?) but if so, she's gone now. This also seems like a very different ethical dilemma which would be interesting to explore.
The real wildcard is Caine. We know VERY little about Caine other than that he has wacky (read: admin) powers within the Circus and runs it, making "adventures" for the rest of the cast on a daily basis to keep them entertained, presumably the original purpose of the Circus as software, and is probably an AI. Probably. We do not have enough information to know how he would react to an extremely powerful Virtual Intelligence like Nicole showing up in his space, but there are enough hints to make me suspect that the answer might be "not well." Especially since we don't actually know how he feels about the current nature of the circus since he always presents as a showman outside of a few moments of hesitation or panicked insistence.
TL;DR: It would be VERY interesting, but for the most interesting ones we don't know enough to make very accurate predictions yet.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a lost mega man tales. I would pay an arm and a leg for both that and the lost Sonic stories book
I thought Rule 63 Robotnik was Queen Beryl in Sally Moon?
Sailor Scouts (Guardians. Senshi. Whatever you prefer)
Moon = Amy. She's can't be Sally, she's far too childish. Combined with her lovesick nature she is Amy at her pettiest.
Mars = Blaze, no contest. Fire, strict, elegant. Anime version is a different, but manga is very close
Venus = I would go Tails (smart, had no friends, self doubt), but if we stick to gals then Nicole is as good as we can go.
Jupiter = Hmm. She's duality, strong and protective, yet girly and gentle and excellent cook. I'm tempted to go with Vanilla (tall as well), but if we're going with younger crowd, Bunnie seems alright.
Venus = Tangle. Venus is a wild one, coming with outlandish plans, jumping without thinking.
Tuxedo Mask = Sonic, although I think Shadow would pull it off too.
Chibiusa = Cream. She's a bit bratty, but not enough to be Marine. Plus think of her toy, Luna-Chee
Saturn = Sage. Dark aura and isolation fits both of them. Optionally Whisper.
Uranus = Rouge. Uranus isn't that mean or selfish but only Rouge has... confident attractiveness.
Neptune = Honey. Someone to match Uranus confidence, with a bit more level headed approach.
Pluto = Vanilla. She is older than others, serious, refine, yet gentle towards kids.
Queen Serenity = Sally. She's a living perfection everyone looks up to.
"french sonic" could also be called "sirene sonic"
