June 17th, 2024 Question Timestamps: ------------------------------------------ 0:54 - It's May, and we all know what that means! It's Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door month! So Mr. Flynn, which partner is your favorite? Do you have a favorite boss? Favorite chapter?!? 3:03 - You know, if you think about it, sonic is hedgehog bald, and can’t grow body hair to compensate? His parents both had an extra top bit of hair, chuck has the chuck Stache, Sonia, manic, and Aleena had extra hair and/or top quills, Amy has a bit of extra hair, and shadow and silver have chest fluff and longer quills. You think maybe he realizes this too, and him calling eggman baldy-mcnosehair is his way of projecting his anger that he’s baldy McNoHair? 4:20 - Starline gets Isekai'd into the world of Chalk Zone, but here's the catch. If you stay within the Chalk Zone for more than 24 hours, you start turning into a Zoner yourself. Does he figure a way out [Which leaves him more susceptible to a terrible death], or is he doomed to be stuck, changing him into a chalk person. [Which means there's far less to kill him, but there's things that are worse]? Or since he's a comic book character, does his medium just change with no issue? 6:29 - Hi Ian and Kyle. How would a team-up between Indiana Jones and Tangle go? 8:41 - The neo Diamond Cutters Trio (and Jewel, and Belle) have been chosen by the morphin masters to become power rangers! What is their ranger theme, colors and as of most rangers, can they keep their ranger identities a secret? additionally, can Whisper shout to morph? 11:17 - The Music Meister (from the animated series Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) somehow ends up in Sonic's world as a Mobian. With his ability to hypnotically force others to sing in Broadway style, how does the cast handle him? And how does everyone react when Whisper starts to sing like Barbra Streisand (From Hello Dolly)? And yes, that's her actual singing voice. 14:24 - The Sonic franchise is no stranger to having its characters reinterpreted for whatever new continuity features them. While they’ll resemble their original versions in some ways, they’ll also differ from them in others. So if you were to create reimagined versions of characters that debuted in IDW such as Tangle, Whisper, Starline, Surge, and Kit, how would you go about putting a new spin on them? 16:39 - In 2018, you wrote IDW Sonic #14, which contained panels of Silver being thrown by the ankle by Metal Sonic. On May 19, 2022, tumblr user catgirlkirigiri posted those panels with the caption, 'Happy Throwing Him Thursday.' Now, every Thursday, Sonic Tumblr celebrates by partaking in throwing Silver. Each week, participants render their followers' dashboards unusable by reblogging those panels dozens of times in a row. People have drawn fan art. There are multiple videos of people throwing their Silver plushies, including one of him being hurled off a five storey balcony. In celebration of the two year anniversary of the first Throwing Him Thursday, would you both please rank Sonic characters based on how far you think you, personally, could throw them? 22:22 - Let's get back to Moebius, as everything is a little twisted around there, what about fairytales? Do they have a bad ending like the true brothers grimm stories? And what story did scourge like the most as a kid, or the least depending on the answer. 23:22 - After having beaten the Heroes, the Ruler of Condiments, the Condiment King goes up against the villains! He defeats Eggman! he defeats Black Doom, Mephiles, Even the End falls to his Condiments! How do the villains react to having lost to the Condiment king? 25:00 - Eggman decides to try to seize power through democratic means and starts the Eggman party. Assuming Mobius uses a proportional electoral system in their elections, what proportion of votes would the Eggman party get? 27:20 - [Has] Pre-Reboot Rouge, and by extension IDW, ever truly cared about Knuckles? 28:16 - What is it about Mephiles that makes him so attractive? Is it his voice, his design, his overwhelming power? I need to know! 29:13 - Does taxidermy have a more horror kind of vibe in a world like Sonic's, or is it kind of taboo? 30:05 - Ian why don't just blame every inconsistency within the Sonic Lore on the time eater? Like that creature's entire purpose was to screw up the timeline to begin with. Half of the plot holes can be fixed just by blaming it on him... Her? Weird mass of purple energy, Metal and glass. 30:46 - Is there a version of Ian Flynn that exists in the Sonic Boom universe? Does he write for comics, games, and TV shows in the Tomatopotamus franchise? What does the Boom cast think of his work, especially in the recently released Tomatopotamus Frontiers? 32:11 - Have you thought about how you might use Sage and Trip in future IDW stories yet? Sage as a cheerleader and adviser to Eggman doesn't seem so hard to work out. Obviously she is going to conflict with anyone who is opposed to Eggman. Trip seems to be a harder issue to me-- her traits are that she wants to be helpful and be included, she is extremely unlucky and she is very emotional to where she will easily cry or get angry and lash out or get embarrassed and hide under her helmet. But she doesn't really have a clear motivation and it seems like she doesn't naturally generate any conflict with other characters. I have to wonder-- you get to write the next time Sage encounters Sonic and Trip encounters Fang, so do you already have ideas in your head about how to handle this? Or-- do you suspect IDW comics will never be able to play with these characters? 34:29 - Do you… know how to pitch an idea to SEGA or something? Like a book/etc? Instructions In these times? It could help people reach out y’know? 36:38 - Gul Dukat, great Star Trek villain, or greatest Star Trek villain? 38:27 - The appearance of the warp topaz in the Fang miniseries brings up a lot of interesting thoughts, such as how did Heavy King and Starline come up with the exact same name for the thing independently of one another, but I'm interested in knowing the development of the plot point of Fang having it during the events of Sonic Superstars. Was this an idea brought up by Naoto Oshima or Arzest and used in the development of the game, or is this a retcon that you developed? 39:03 - Building off your jokes about Fozzie Bear in Sonic's World... He has two fans, Shadow and Whisper. His comedy brought them peace. Legally you HAD TO remove him. But now when you write Shadow or Whisper they derail the script to threaten you! Can you describe your paranoia? 40:45 - Given your previous pitch to bring Naugus into the games as a Zeti, would you make some lore connection between Zaugus and the Cacophonic Conch? 43:09 - Drogune Question: a lot of foods are associated with cultures, Chili Dogs are American, Poutine is Canadian, Sushi is Japanese, etc. Are there signature dishes for each of the realms of Galaxant? 46:38 - The original Ghostbusters film, but it's Sonic characters. Who's who? 48:55 - Two households both alike in dignity, in fair Verona we lay our scene. Our hero Sonic takes the role of fair Romeo in this storybook version of Romeo & Juliet. How would this new passage play out and who is who in this new version of the classic tale. P.S to make your life easier let’s just assume Juliet is uhhhh Jewel. ------------------------------------------ 55:14 - Outtake 1 56:06 - Outtake 2 56:22 - Outtake 3 57:35 - Outtake 4
34:29 I mean something to like… following a Stylebook or Styleguide, things like that. I know there’s an approval process that goes along at all stages right?
So my "Throwing Silver" video got mentioned in here, and i just want to mention it was acually a seven story balcony. Thanks for the shout out, I cannot believe Ian Flynn knows about my video
34:51 dang.... man I just want a game collection of all the handheld games. I'm just it'll happen (maybe) one day, but as long as SEGA's constantly going back to Clasic Sonic "one day" ain't soon enough
Personally, I've never been a fan of Knuckles and Rouge. I know it's a popular ship with fans but I clearly don't see it happening. However, I respect the opinion of those who ship them
I personally like Knuckles x Rouge cause they have a bit of a Batman/Catwoman or Scrooge/Goldie dynamic. Sure, I don’t see Knuckles and Rouge settling down, but I also can see them still having feelings for each other. Of course, I respect your opinion too.
@@Caybee1999 Opinion respected. I respect those who ship them together because everyone has the right to do what they want as long as it doesn't exceed the limits (like Cream and Eggman for example).
I personally don't see it as a very healthy pair either but I get the popularity, I still very much prefer Knuckles with Julie-Su or Shade, the relationships feel more genuine.
I don't know of you asked but: If Eggman Nega survived in Chaotic Inferno would he end up becoming a controlled slave of Ifrit? Do you think Ifrit would try to control Negg to try to find a way to get him out of Chaotic Inferno?
Personally, I think Nega\Naga surviving and Scavenging around chaotic Inferno to find anything that he can use to get out of there while avoiding the detection of the Ifrit would be interesting and would be even more cool if he came out all Shaggy looking just like movie Robotnik "Scavenging and surviving on the mushroom planet" And having Naga became even more insane then he ever was before riding on top of a mechanize controlled Ifrit, either going back to his timeline to reclaim what rightfully was his or play the sol dimension a visit.
Ian, what's the releationship between Vector, Espio and Charmy? Are they both of his dads? Do they both or only one of them have the legal guard over Charmy? Is Charmy just a parentless kid they baby sit 24/7, and when the job is over, who's house does he stay in?
My Question: In a previous video, you talked about the badniks not having the same sentience as Gamma or the Hard Boiled Heavies, which means Sonic is not snuffing out mechanical life, but Sonic and friends destroyed the Mirage Express, a badnik who has shown to have sentience and emotional attachment to another. At the end, while it was dying, it apologized to the Conductor for all the trouble it caused, which someone pointed out to me, suggesting a capacity for empathy. You would think Sonic and friends would rebuild it with a different power source that doesn't run on Flickies, like how Tails repaired and reprogrammed Gemerl. That's the only problem with The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog being canon. Since you've said everything is canon, was the Mirage Express the exception?
This really depends what he means about that, imo if he means not having sentient at all then that's really contradictory what we have seen or if he means they just don't have the same degree as sentience then I can understand. Like most Badniks do appear to possess some degree of sentience, as they can express basic emotions and do stuff under their own free will, and stuff like that such as fawning over Dr. Eggman and celebrating his birthday party on their own volition, as well as showing fear and stress moments before being destroyed. But Despite being sentient, most Badniks can only comprehend simple tasks such as trying to kill Sonic though.
A while back when Imposter Syndrome was coming out, IDW gave us a look at some pitch documents with some text censored out in a TikTok, with only a description of the characters being left to see. I assume this censored text was the original storyline pitch that would become Imposter Syndrome and Issue 50. Would it be possible to see or hear these original pitch descriptions of the story now that their debut story has been told? Or if that’s not possible due to license mumbo jumbo, how do you go about the process of creating a pitch document? (Ie. characters, story, etc)
UM. HI. TUMBLR USER CATGIRLKIRIGIRI HERE. WHAT. This is insane I just got an ask pointing me to this oh my god. I'm shaking typing this I never would've thought Ian Flynn would be told about my silly little post this is unreal. It's an honor to be referenced 🫡

GIRL HELP THE THUMBNAIL IM SCREECHING
For the controversial technique of Taxinermie, we ride on the Algorithm Quest!
I would find it hilarious if the musical adventure, the sonic characters were forced to go would be to the tune of the Sonic Symphony
my new personal canon is Sonic is very into manscaping and shaves his chest
Why throw Silver on Thursday?! That's just so CRUEL!!!
Everyone knows you need to pull an Eggman... and throw Starline instead!!! 🤣
