(preferably somewhere I wont end up ranting at my friends 8'D...)
SOOOOOOO. OMG. When I first seen a random pic somewhere on FB of Sonic with a scarf and blue arms I was like, "oh? fanart interpretation?" and so, I scroll a little further to find video links of trailers and stuff for a brand new Sonic game and I just internally spaz for a moment X'D (coz even though I WAS crazy over Sonic many years ago I still get a little excited over stuff from SEGA >u<)
And yeah, cut to le chase I think o3o
Knuckles.
WTF LOL??
OK, I totally agree that he was tiny skinny before and obviously didn't physically look like he could lift a brick 8'D My thoughts throughout playing Sonic heroes, to be honest... I mean, the other Teams in that game had buff Vector, an overweight cat and a freakin robot!! XD how on earth (or Mobius. If they still live there) can Knuckles compare in strength type?? D8
So yeah, my personal opinion: he's a little too big in Boom really D; fair enough, SEGA coulda just buffed him up a little so it looked noticeable... unless they were seriously going for noticeable, of course X''D
Buuuuuuuuuut, considering the size of Vector and Storm, at least Knuckles fits in their body type category now, I guess 8U
I'd honestly like to think that the Sonic Boom versions are OLDER VERSIONS. It would make a million times more sense, wouldn't it?? 8''D <333
Like how Sonic's gradually grown arm hair XD Knuckles has err... just grown, Amy looks rather seductive (especially in image below lolol) and Tails... well, he looks less childish and more actually useful? 8D...
But beyond all the controversial redesigns!! A new CGI TV SERIES OMG ;;u;; and it's apparently a comedy adventure..... COMEDY. Sonic + Comedy can only = amazing <333 (really hope it airs in my country....coz I'm apparently a male between 4-12 years old like that -u-')
Lol, I don't care!! Have always adored Sonic, probably always will >3< don't give a CRAP what anyone else says or thinks *huggles Sonic's new long sexy legs*~
Speaking of long legs!!! I actually used to draw him with longer legs anyway X''D fav version of Sonic and co. was probably the Sonic Rider's ones.... (left) which were clearly a taller/stretched look of the original versions lolol and, err much bigger hands O3O
Where was I? OTL
TV SERIES. One point I wanted to mention (as some have on various sites comments) is that perhaps they changed Knuckles look FOR comedy reasons. Gotta love a big guy huh?? ;D <33
Aaaaand, I must say the Environments look amazing *u*...... always loved the epic, natural BGs in Sonic games <333 (especially the Wisps planet in Colors, baaaaw that grass at the start so lovely ;u; )
Overall, yeah. I AM OPTIMISTIC ASDFGHJKL.
And, to a degree, glad to see SEGA take a risk with the designs and ideas >u> <u< gotta admire them for that right?? Not giving much crap about what fans want/think and just doing whatever the feel is best or more fun 8''D (not sarcastic at all, honestly lol.)
That said..... SEGA have tried a lot of random things with the Sonic series though OTL
(Warning: Negativity OMG!!!!)
Like turning him into a slow-ass hairy Werehog, putting him on hoverboards he's surely 100 times faster than, sending him into alternate story book universes and wielding swords, having romances with humans, giving him another somewhat "twin" with Silver, getting him to meet his mute past-self, teaming up with Mario to play sports to maybe widen his popularity..........
LOL, putting it that way I sound like a fan alright, pfffft. But yeah, maybe SEGA is trying to hard recently ;;3;;
I personally, loved Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Colors and Sonic Chronicles: Dark brotherhood <333
Without rambling any longer, lolol, I adore how "real" Brotherhood felt 8'D with the characters personalities and conversations (shyeah, I'm a character-nut apparently X'D)
Oh well, I probably can't get the Sonic Boom game (not owning a Wii U or 3DS yet D'8) but hopefully I get to watch some of the TV series and make my ultimate judgments then.......
HOOHOHOOHOHOHOOO!!! *failed Eggman laugh derp*
Thanks for reading/skimming!! <3
