    And here's the 10-second version of the IDW characters explained:
    Tangle: Loud, hyper lemur girl. Probably has ADHD. Totally gay for the wolf girl.
    Whisper: Quiet, introverted wolf girl. Has PTSD. Totally gay for the lemur girl.
    Jewel: Beetle girl. Owns a museum of geology and also acts as administrator for the resistance. Friend of Tangle. Got mistaken for a talking rock by Storm the Albatross.
    Dr. Starline: Snively, except he's a platypus.
    Surge: Scourge, except she's a girl and nowhere near as much of a loser.
    Kit: Nine, except with hydrokinesis and crippling self-esteem issues.
    Rough and Tumble: Skunks. Brothers. Z-tier villains. They provide the bungling comedy double act when Orbot and Cubot aren't around.
    Mimic: Octopus. Amoral mercenary. Shapeshifter. Has a vendetta against Whisper. Literally a Metal Gear Solid reference.
    Clutch: Al Capone if he was an opossum.
    Belle: Weird mix of elements from Sage and Pinocchio.
    Lanolin: Sheep girl. Started off as a background character. Due to a particular plot point, a good chunk of the fandom wish she had stayed as one.

    Sonic fans can’t cry and whine over all the Main characters being made one dimensional and bland,
    then reject and throw fits when we DO get someone who’s well written
    Someone who is a realistically flawed individual who can make mistakes and learn and grow from them

      No thats pretty disingenuous. people hated Lanolin for putting Whisper and especially Silver in a negative light. With her being relatively new to this compared to two veteran fighters. Didnt help that it was kinda compared to victim blamey the way it was set up as well as doing Silver generally dirty.

    • @Axxidous
      @Axxidous Місяць тому +1

      They can't because they don't. People complain about the main characters all the time and characters like Lanolin are so-so written. How can you hate Mimic for tricking her when he's a villain and that's what you expect him to do? If people hate him, it's as a villain. But hating Lanolin is coming from a place of "You're supposed to be on our side but you just make things more difficult". Who the hell is gonna be okay with her disrespecting SILVER THE HEDGEHOG? lol
      You can't say that people shouldn't be mad at Lanolin for having flaws but then be mad at fans for having flaws.

    my wish list for certain characters
    - For Lanolin to get humbled and regretting herself when Mimic is revealled, but to be the one to actually deal the finishing blow to Mimic and actually apologise to Whisper and Silver
    - For Surge and Kit to redeem themselves or at the very least become anti-heroes, and they're redemption be heart-warming with tears
    - For Whisper to be the one to get back on Duo's track BEFORE Mimic reveals himself and to actually face Surge and win this time, since that moment when she lost her wisps to the Tenrec and became a punching was not her finest hour
    - For Mimic's defeat to be utterly humiliating and have him mentally breaking down
    - For there to be a battle between the Diamond Cutters and Imposter Diamond Cutters (Surge vs Whisper for personal reasons and that Whisper needs to redeem herself after issues 63-64, lanolin vs Mimic because Lanolin needs to see the truth and get humbled, Tangle vs Kit due to process of elimination but also because of loyalties to their partners)

    • @codyraugh6599
      @codyraugh6599 2 місяці тому +9

      I'd mostly agree with some slight changes.
      For Lanolin I think she needs so show some actual leadership based on her past. She's done everything in the restoration from Secretary work to piloting and it would be nice for those support roles to actually come into play as a leader who uplifts her team in the battle
      As for Surge and Kit, I'd change anti-Hero to "Hero-Antagonist" she was made to literally replace Sonic, so to see her basically try to be Sonic while also entirely missing the traditional heroism point and actually be routinely fighting Sonic still as opposed to whatever the heck Shadow is would be nice.
      Whisper already seems to know what's up with Duo, but she seems more to be playing it smart, would be a bit better if since she knows him so well she's just waiting for him to make a slip up that's sort of a calling card for him.
      And since I don't think Whisper could head on actually beat Surge circle back to my first little detail of having the lamb have to use her support skills she's been building up over the course of the entire series to set Whisper up for the win.

      @user-tq4hw2hb2j 2 місяці тому +1

      @@codyraugh6599 How do I react to each change you've made:
      the first change, yes, i can agree that that does need to come into play in order to redeem Lanolin from issue 63
      the second change, I'll consider the possibility, but I myself still hope Surge and Kit at least mellow out a bit
      the third change, I hope so, because in issue 64 it does actually seem like Whisper truly was taken in and believing she made an error that hurt an innocent and would've burst into tears had it not been for Tangle. for her to actually be acting, or at the very least not entirely convinced and maybe has her subconscious speak to her in the form of her fallen Diamond Cutter team members
      the fourth change, I suppose what you said about lanolin's support aiding Whisper would work against Surge, I still also wish it to be a result of Whisper's own ingenuity

    • @codyraugh6599
      @codyraugh6599 2 місяці тому +1

      @user-tq4hw2hb2j so to help sell you on them.
      With the two lanolin points. 1) 63 was unfortunately the only time she's actually behaved as a team leader, she didn't even get given a chance to "pull a Robin" calling out team formations or anything to suggest she has any form of actual leadership/respect of her team. And besides her still very new and underutilized bell weapon thing, she seems vastly more inexperienced and just not combat capable compared to the other two. And well sadly 63 and 64 are the only moments she actually behaved as a leader and it was all to the benefit of a villain. While her setting up Whisper for a win both kinda goes with the football/soccer and Basketball team setup where yes the star player scores, but they are given the ball by their teammates after the team brought the ball to where it needed to go. If she just gets Whisper to where Whisper needs to be in order to score her win via her piloting skills like say on the wing of a airship in the sky that alone would be enough to show that Lanolin knows her teams strengths and weaknesses enough to set them up for the win she trusts them to achieve.
      Though I do keep forgetting the whole gaslight in 64 but mainly because Whisper just still in general seems to be on edge and has the distraction duo still standing right next to her actual target.
      As for Surge, she just doesn't seem to have the proper empathy, or rather a more selfish form of it where she only uses it for Kit, especially when compared to every other heroic character, and she's also clearly as new and naive about everything as Tangle but with a very different personality about it all. And I think both she and we the readers will need more time before she mellows, so having her try to be a hero, but with the ingrained goal of "destroy Sonic" set aside and the ingrained programming of "replace him and play hero for Starline" being the next psychological issue she needs to overcome before she can really start addressing what she herself actually desires of her own will. Because I'm the Imposters miniseries Starline laid it out kinda quickly but she's meant to replace Sonic and he'd replace Eggman and they'd basically steal the show and then gaslight the entire world into thinking Starline's way, subvert all the other heroes into his willing slaves more or less. So if Surge tries to go hero, unfortunately she's going to have to overcome a lot of Starline's BS, and Sonic's fist seems to be her best teacher.

      @@codyraugh6599 I see your point. Lanolin does have the smarts, skills and tacticians of leader and also at times compassion as shown in issue 58, but sadly she needs to learn the wisdom and heart of a leader. Admittedly I do flip flip a bit with Lanolin since issue 64, hating her one moment and then trying to show leniency and back and forth again, all the while defending Whisper no matter what. I guess, at the very least, you show leniency towards the Sheep, which I find good.
      While Whisper isn't wrong about Surge and Kit, she doesn't realise that they're also serving as somewhat a diversion for Mimic, who she really needs to watch out for. I hope she gets back on Mimic's trail BEFORE he reveals himself. I'm just curious as anxious as to how
      As for Surge and Kit, okay, perhaps not in the upcoming sonic riders arc she'll mellow out, but maybe in the one after that, issues 76-80. should the fifth saga follow up, and hope it's one that takes place in space, that should really lead to a full or near-full redemption
      nice reply, but i do have to point out that there are typos. just saying

    • @codyraugh6599
      @codyraugh6599 2 місяці тому +2

      @@user-tq4hw2hb2j for the Surge and Kit issue, I think they just need to be left to bake a little more, including the current arc they need one or two more villain arcs, and then sometime as more a neutral force, maybe even permanently so that they don't just become Shadow 2.0 (and of course we don't want them to be just Scourge 2.0 either so they certainly need to go their own way) so they're going to also need a arc or two out of the spotlight as more background or side characters. Whenever we "time skip" Sonic Frontiers might be a good time to start easing the pair into full, whatever they become. Because honestly while anti-Hero is a broad term typically most anti-heroes remain solidly in the hero camp and need a convoluted or excessively petty reason to fight/not help a standard Hero.
      And separately I feel like the pair would make for an interesting scenario of flipping back and forth from being allies of Sonic, wanting to genuinely save the day, or just trying to save their reputation and/or lives, to trying to directly rival him in anything from a race to who can destroy (with emphasis on destroy on Surge's part) Eggman first to trying to stop him from stopping some minor villain because they and some other small group would benefit from a quality of life improvement from that villain's deed. Where Shadow well since Heroes he's basically had no real reason to oppose Sonic or even give half the attitude he does, because he's more or less just a straight Hero but yet he's somehow in the anti-Hero camp because he has a bad attitude but hasn't been shoved into every possible team (unlike Wolverine whose more or less the same character but is considered a straight Hero)

    A curious thing over Surge and Kit, is time to time we see their original personality resurface briefly and implying the main cause of their mental inestability is that Starline basically put a nearly opposite personality of who they were, what is ironic that is the main reason Starline sccheme backfire, he explicitly disregard the imporance of who they were before, to the point he not even bother to write said data in any place

    I think Sega want eventually use Tangle and Whisper in a future game. Tangle eassily fit a 2d game, with Whisper she need a 3d game either a Adventure format(where each characther has its own mechanics) or Heroes format. Besides them is Surge to fill the position of a Rival(at least for now, we now how is Sonic saga with these type of characthers)
    I mention these 3 because Sega is promoting them litle by little, they were added to Sonic Forces:Speed Battle(plus the mention on Frontiers), what is weird as the other fall in 3 categories Game characthers, Suits variants, and the late self promotinal, chacthers from the upcoming movie and Sonic prime.
    There are others that could be added to the games to fill empty roles, for example Clutch as a middle antagonist, he is not with Eggman but he profit from his destruction and other illegal activities, using Rought and Tumble as hired muscle(thougth they are mercenaires so Eggman can use them too), if you think over it the only one that fit this role is Fang, and look like Sega want him as a exclusive classic characther

    The thing with mimic shows what amazing potential is being missed in SatAM Sea3on. If anyone is reading this who is aware of the fan comic that is also being turned into a fan animation by another group of fans, Sea3on is basically a fan made season 3 of Sonic SATAM. It's a pretty good, albeit unfinished comic. And the fans doing the animated adaptation have been working on it since 2015. Do with that info what you will but the animation is good. The voice acting is hit and miss depending on the character, and also switching VA's here and there. But there are still some parts that are very fan-esque feeling and don't really feel like the vibe of SatAM itself so much as.. well.. a comic. But you'll all still love it.
    So what's the problem?
    The ending of SatAM shows a pair of glowing red eyes that look like Sonic's. They confirmed years later that it was a character named Naugus. So the comic's and anmation's big hook are the red glowing eyes which is the reveal of Naugus' return. Except they draw the red eyes like his normal 2 separated eyes and just... reveal Naugus is back.
    HOWEVER, in the actual show, when you meet Naugus, it's revealed he's a shape shifter who pretended to be Sally's dad in order to be rescued from the Void. They end up having to return to the void because they get slowly turned to crystal when they escape. Sea3on completely disregards the red eyes looking like Sonic's eyes as though it was a mistake rather than recognizing the implied scenario that Naugus was intending to shape-shift into Sonic, and the fact that they must have found a way for him to fend off the crystallization.
    Again, the plotline with Mimic shows there's potential in shape shifter characters even when you know such a character exists.

    Once IDW stories end I think a Sonic game with there Characters in it can work. I also suggest characters Bios explaining all characters both Comic originals and Game originals to explain what point there at. I have my ideas but there long.
    My game Idea is one that takes a failed idea due to execution that IDW was force to fix/ address well still focusing on Sonic. What if Sonic out of the picture, and we’ll Sonic need to fight himself internally we switch to play as Sonic friends in order to continue taking down Eggman next world control plot. When it came to who playable I say have teams of characters with a clear leader, Knuckles coming back to help mainly sticking with Shadow and Rouge(Exploration Combat mission), Tails being with most the group Flying high making call out(Defend the base Mission), and Amy with Tangle (duo swapping puzzle solving) seeking out the location of Emeralds and where they were hidden for safe keeping. The few living villains (sorry starline) can be paid hired nuisance for resistance well Sonic fight his inner demons, inner fears, inner Chaos, and his own ideals as pass fights and moments that represent them try making Sonic give up. Sonic is basically comatose by a nano virus that doesn’t spread and Tails is trying to remove from Sonic system well needing to take leadership in these dire times for Sonic.

    Out of all the IDW characters I honestly think Starline is the most interesting and his character design is incredibly strong, I honestly think it's on par with the original cast, if there was one character from the comics I could pick to become part of the main Sonic franchise it'd be him, though I would like him to be handled differently than in the comics, focusing more on hypnosis and outside the box ideas to contrast Eggman's very predictable style and perhaps growing into a morally ambiguous character who can help the heroes as much as he can hinder them.
    Personally I really hope he comes back, because the way they did him in was dirty, going out with a whimper.
    The thing I love about Starline is his potential and how he's a growing character and imperfect villain, how often do you get to see a villain actually rise to prominence and struggle to actually get their plans off the ground? It's so refreshing, makes him feel a lot more interesting, unlike Eggman who can pull off the most ridiculous things seemingly with little to no effort and rather than making him menacing it makes Eggman boring, he's too perfect of a villain.
    If Starline comes back I'd love for him to be covert and subtly hypnotizing everyone, making it so that nobody sure who they can trust, as anyone, even themselves, have no idea if they have hypnotic commands implanted by Starline in their head that he made them forget about and if their friends or even themselves will suddenly turn.
    Oh and when I say he should come back I don't mean as a cyborg or something like that, but perhaps he had an "extra life" ready in a tank somewhere so if he died he'd have his consciousness transferred to that clone of himself, that would definitely be an interesting use of his bio-tech and you'd never know if you well and truly got rid of him, since he might have more hidden away.

So yes, these two sillies are girlfriends! And as someone who is LGBT and who always loved their dynamic and already shipped them, this just makes me happy. :3
    PS: and if someone doesn't like them because they are gay, please remove yourself from the Sonic fandom because this franchise more than any other is about freedom to be who you are and Sega has already shown that it is at least supportive of the LGBT community!
