Sonamy is definitely a canon ship, but it’s not meant to ever become official. Their dynamic of Sonic not wanting to be tied down and always on the move, while Amy fully supports his lifestyle but only wishes she could keep up with him is wonderful; but if they started dating it would ruin some of the comedic moments they have and the “will they won’t they” that keeps the fandom so hooked. Sonic doesn’t dislike Amy at all, she’s just the one person whose energy overpowers his and drains him when thrown onto him all at once. He’s also pretty awkward when it comes to romance, because he doesn’t know how to react to it.
I agree with almost everything but the “slowing down” point. Being in a relationship doesn’t slow you down. That would imply Amy doesn’t love Sonic for Sonic and she does. She always wants to join him on his adventures. Because her energy can be more than his, she could be the drive he needs to not feel held down. These two would be strong both together and apart. Their relationship literally doesn’t have to change if they did become canon because it really wouldn’t. Also, could you call romance a good thing if being “tied down” is the only way to do it? I’ll respectfully say it’s a very outdated mindset when looking at real relationships and implies romance is a burden. It would also imply you want a traditionally stereotypical relationship. Which would not be the case for Sonic and Amy. But that’s just me. You don’t have to agree with my overly extra response. This might be just me. 🤷♀️
@@essycogany2738 I don’t know what you’re talking about, I didn’t say the words “slowing down” or “tied down”. I actually emphasized Amy is the opposite of that and only wishes to keep up with Sonic’s on-the-move freedom and lifestyle. He is faster than her but she still wants to make that effort, that’s an admirable part of her character When I mentioned her energy draining Sonic, it’s for the very reasons I mentioned. Sonic doesn’t know how to handle it and he pretty much becomes introverted when that happens. He doesn’t dislike it though, he’s just not used to it. Sonic in general is shy when it comes to romance, he even got awkward around Elise in some scenes of 06. In the ending scene of Season 2 in Sonic X when he finally comes back to their world, Amy is in tears because she worried she’d never see him again. She’s emotional and questioning a lot in that moment of shock, and so she asks Sonic to tell her he loves her so she can truly know. Amongst her anger and tears he gives her a flower, and you see him mouth the words while the music cuts out the dialogue, as she gives him a huge hug and she bursts into tears. Sonic is clearly overwhelmed by her as usual, but he still has a smile and lets her this time because he truly means what he said. That is proof of their dynamic having meaning, even if Sonic isn’t ready for a full relationship. Just because Sonamy is canon, doesn’t mean they have to end up dating for it to still have meaning like that scene.
Amy is one of my favorite characters in this series… when she is well written. I see Amy as how she is written in games like SA1 & Sonic Frontiers, rather than Sonic Heroes & Sonic Rush.
As a SonAmy fan, I love the subtextual relationship development between these two (regardless if they are just friends or if there is a potential for romance.) Amy went from a girl Sonic couldn’t stand being around to one of Sonic’s closest allies. In addition they bring out the best in one another. Sonic inspired Amy to seek out adventure. She tracked Sonic down because she wanted to meet her idol, but instead Amy found someone she can actually look up to as a fellow adventurer. Amy has shown Sonic sometimes showing some compassion and understanding instead of just leaving others in the dust can go a long way (IE. Gamma, Shadow, the Koco, Trip, etc) Sonic even finally relents and adopts her empathy for the Koco when he realizes she was right. This girl sonic used to consider weird and clingy is now inspiring him to be a better person. Edit: As a side note, Ian Flynn stated on the bubblecast that he intended for there to be a plot line where sonic regret not making his mind up about Amy before she pledged to travel the world. The concert ended up on the writer room floor, but it is very fascinating. Consider how close that was to being in the final product. Seeing as you can even find a voice in the files of the game I think the mutual side of their relationship will remain in the subtext (if anything) going forward, no matter how much potential chemistry there is, but the fact these two have grown so much together is already enough for me.
I ship Sonamy and appreciate this videos. For now, to me, they are best friends with crushes on one another. They have a bond that’s obviously growing and developing. I’d say it’s canon in sense that the two characters do have romantic feelings but won’t do anything about it. Not yet anyways. But I’m fine with either or. It doesn’t help that the franchise has official stuff promoting them or writers and creators of the characters confirming Sonic’s crush on Amy so who knows? 🤷♀️
The way i see it, Sonic loves Amy, but loves hi freedom even more. Amy, on the other hand, sees that freedom as another reason to love Sonic, basically creating a loop
Fun fact : Sega even the CREATOR of Sonic confirmed multiple times that Sonamy is INDEED canon, but people choose to ignore that for some reasons like nothing happened lol (PRETTY VIDEO btw!!!❤)
I thought they were already canon in Sonic frontiers, sonic says he wishes he was sharing an umbrella with amy. In Japan two two people sharing an Umbrella would be considered a couple.
@@NateBoiBoiI know they removed the ages, but where did they say we could age them however we wanted? Ps. Like I know we can and have but did they actually say that? XD
Interesting tidbit about Sonic X: It was originally meant to end with the episode where Super Sonic returned to his world. So the scene where he shows up at Amy's house could be seen as closure for their relationship in the show. And when Amy cries out to him to just say that he loves her, he hands her a rose. While his words are muted, his lip-flaps could possibly match up with either "Aishteru, Amy," or "Daisuki, Amy," both are ways of saying "I love you," with "aishteru" being the more passionate and extreme of the two. Heck, the original JP airing had "Natsu no Hi," a Japanese love song from the 80's, playing in the background, and was storyboarded specifically with it in mind. (It would be replaced with The Shining Road in subsequent rereleases.) ...Take all this as you will.
I think people overthink this ship too much. It's just a gag bit. Amy's the overzealous romantic and Sonic's the hero who can handle anything, but gets awkward about romance because he's still a young boy, but he probably has some feelings for her too. That's it. Nothing is going to come of it because that's how it was designed.
Same can be said to other ships. With Amphibia, people been shipping the human girl characters with each other a lot. A few blush moments were once pointed to some ships. Though some of them were from embarrassment. - Also, a little spoilers, neither of the three girls hooked up with each other. (Edit) OOPS, my bad! Didn’t know ‘hook up’ only meant just for ‘that.’
@@GODZILLA2915 not really a good comparison, matt braly basically said that no ships were confirmed due to headcanon reasons or smth, though sasha is canonically bi. yes, you can fact check that. though, the ships in that show mostly make sense because the characters have chemistry that isn't annoying. as for hooking up, bro what are you talking about, ofc they didn't, they're 13.
Im pretty sure the ship is official, I mean if it wasn’t why would they do so much between the two? ( like merchandise, the games between them interacting and other stuff) I think sega even confirmed sonic DOES like Amy too , he’s just to scared to admit it
Officially, Sonic and Amy love each other. This has been both confirmed by people who work for Sega like Stanley but also in games. In Dream Team, Sonic filters several times with Amy (like the scene where they have to fight against the crab). In Frontiers, Sonic says that he should have decided before and that he would have liked to share an umbrella with her (something which symbolizes love). In IDW, Sonic and Amy show interest in each other. The “Amy runs Sonic”period has also been over for a long time, Amy's new biography even says that she no longer does it.
Honestly, Archie drilled that “chasing” dynamic to the ground which made a lot of fans think it was canon when in reality, that barely happened in the games.
@@hotw_plush Not really. The reason a lot of people think this is because of games like Generation or Heroes where she was obsessed with Sonic (it was to the point that he refuse a hug in Generation). Archie had also shown this part of the character but it's quieter with those of 2017 which was much better written than the old ones.
Yas. 💅 This is very true! I'm just glad sega made Amy's personality..less weird. The reason why sonic is always nervous around amy is because he doesn't want anyone to know he likes her back. :3
What I really appreciate about SonAmy is that the two have become comfortable around each other and can simply be themselves. Sonic appreciates Amy and her affection is more tame. Growing up, it was hard to make friends. The more I pushed for friendship, the more people pushed me away. Eventually, I got tired of being hurt and distanced myself from people. Sonic and Amy don't have to change their lifestyles to be together. And the narrative doesn't tell you that they're destined to be together throughout time and space.
Her age was because she used a Special Ring of Acorns and wishing to be older. This allowed her to participate in missions with the Knothole Freedom Fighters.
I remember seeing an IDW comic panel where Sonic and Amy are hanging out and Sonic asks if they should grab dinner. Then I tried to find this panel and the issue it’s from but I just could not find it. I did so much research and yet to this day I have no clue where this came from. This might be fanmade or maybe it’s real but it’s like some weird Mandela effect thing.
Sega did release a official Sonic and Amy Flower Boutique in February during Valentines Day season this year and Japanese merchandise of Sonic have Sonic and Amy together
I heard about a few rules Sega set for IDW -no added family members -no shipping -make Shadow ‘like vegeta’ I don’t know the original wording, but I can understand and agree with the first two. The Sonic series was never meant to end or evolve that drastically overtime. Sure you have Eggman and Sage along with Shadow, but they most likely want to keep the characters consistent for as long as the series last. Just like how Nintendo is with Mario. Also the fanbase is highly divided on many things, so I do feel sorry on any stress they have.
@GODZILLA2915 vegeta is better than shadow right now as at least he cares about his family while shadow doesn't want or need friends (which offends me as a team dark fan)
Sonic unleashed was my first Sonic game ever and the way his relationship with Amy was depicted there kind of changed my brain chemistry ever since, I like the ship a lot and find it fun despite the 'stalker' Amy stuff I have seen thrown around. Sonamy works so much better than other pairings I have seen from both characters, while there is fun to be made by shipping them with different characters I would be lying if said this isn't my favorite pairing for Sonic in specific. There is other characters that Amy could have a fun relationship with and a interesting romance, but I can't see them being long lasting relationships that either end on good terms or not. Sonic to me is hard to ship with someone like Shadow because he isn't really into romance, like seriously I can't see Sonic in any way ending up together with Shadow because their rivalry and history together just doesn't read like a romantic one, they are constantly changing from frenemies to opposing rivals depending on the situation they are in, Shadow's world view is not compatible with Sonic's because he is too forgiving and won't do what's necessary when it comes down to it. Not to mention that both have their own style of being a lone wolf, Shadow is the prime example you expect from a lone wolf with his attitude and view of the world, while Sonic doesn't like to be tied down to one place for to long and preferres to travel the world whenever possible in search of adventure. Sonally is something I don't get because I didn't grew up with satam or the archie comics so I never understood why they made such a great ship, although I'll say this, she works for the Archie depiction of Sonic but not so much his game version (growing up I literally thought Scourge was a OC because I didn't even know there existed a Archie comic of Sonic, so I just accepted him as a popular character made by the internet community). Amy's admiration for Sonic can be played to the extreme sometimes, but it is also something that allows her to have more interesting ship opportunities because of how many characters are meant to be mirrors or rivals to Sonic. Jet is obviously not a viable option considering how much of a jerk he is, but characters like Blaze, Silver, Shadow, Metal Sonic and Surge have something that could lead to a semi believable relationship to form between them and Amy. Her compassion and lovely personality makes it so other characters could develop a friendship or even a crush on her, heck the whole reason she gets shipped with Shadow is because of those very traits reminding him of Maria's promise, Blaze is a alternative counterpart to Sonic so of course it stands to believe they could fall in love with each other, in the Christmas Sonic Mania short we see Amy helping Metal get back to eggman's base out if the kindness of her heart, Surge is a tragic character that had her whole life erased from her own mind hust so she could become a substitute for Sonic and seeing as her whole existence is to take Sonic's place it is believable that Amy could serve as a compassionate shoulder for the tenrec to slow help her regain some control over her life. I had a lot to say about this subject, hope people can understand my points here and not condemn me for liking Sonamy more than other ships.
8:55 off topic entirely but this “Amy, Wait!” Line read from Jason Griffith is probably one of my favourites from him. Miss this VA so much (Lisa Ortiz, too!)
I recommend using the original/real japanese stories of the sonic games and not english ones i understand you maybe dont know japanese and that is why you dont use them but windii has translated lot of the japanese cutscenes. (unfortunately most of her videos were deleted but there are some repost i have made a playlist of most the reposts on my channel.) but other than that good video. There are also a few retranslated mods you can use. And the voice acting is just way better.
as a sonamy hater I would like to just say we need to put our differences aside and acknowledge the fact that sonadow was probably one of the worst ships that was ever cooked up from the community
Well, that’s in the past. With Frontiers and the IDW comics, it seems like Sonic is changing his mind and is warming up to the idea of being in a relationship with Amy. (We just have to let SEGA cook.)
I think the end was my favorite part! 😂😂😂😂 not only did you drag in Boom, but you also brought up the magazine excerpt! Gonna be honest, though, you had me skeptical for a while there. Every time I watch these videos, people misinterpret their relationship in some way, and it is NOT appreciated
oh you wouldn't belive, most of the comments here im reading and thinking um did you guys even watch the video or did you just come to throw your opinons around based on the title alone
I think the mandates against relationships is also due to internak ship wars of the Archie comics. The problem with comics is they're easier to retcon because they don't take as much time as resources as movies and games. If two people work on the same comic but don't like each others ideas, they could suddenly change everything, including relationships. It was one of many aspects of Archie Sega just didn't want to deal with any more. Especially with IDW being canon, and they wouldn't want a side material to make big status quo changes. That being said, they do push for some ships to have moments (but not full on relationships), like suggesting Ian Flynn add some Vector and Vanilla moments (so now that is canon)
I wouldn't mind their relationship development in the comics cause I feel like it fits more, but as for as the games are concerned I content with the way they seem to be handling their current relationship
We mostly see sonic and Amy closer in the TV series. Sonic X, boom, and prime showed two of them interacting more and sonic himself being more comfortable around her and even confessing at some point. We also see more interaction and the IDW comics. My theory is the games were seeing them at work: missions count as work to them and sonic feels more flustered when he’s on the job. However, the TV series and comics have a lot of extra time to give the characters more interaction and even make their episodes more personal.
Sonic X when Amy goes on a "Date" with Sam says it all why Sonic runs and Amy realised why Sonic always runs. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows that moment from Sonic X
Sonic and Amy relationship is making a lot of potential to their relationship or dynamic that would be very interesting, to see in a future Sonic game or probably, Sega is just teasing to ship Sonic and Amy together, someday, just saying OK.
@@Shonin23 I have, and I beat it in both regular and new horizons. Amy’s mental state improved in Forces, as she thought Sonic was dead. I hate all of Amy’s characterizations after the Adventure games, as she was turned from a young kid fangirl into a mentally ill stalker, then to whatever her character is now.
i hate how Amy was written in Sonic heroes and Sonic Riders, and Sonic Generations, heck even amy from Sonic lost world has a better writing than Sonic Gens, Amy in Sonic unleashed, 06, and Frontiers was the right turn, the longer they grew the more they became closer.
@@michelleh9500 Yeah but its nice that Sonic doesn’t really run away from amy in Sonic lost world, he also mentioned her when everybody was nothing but dead.
Even as Sonamy fan at this point I just don't care whether it or any other ship becomes canon or not. The only thing I wish for is characters being written consistently(thank god that stalker trait was thrown out of Amy's character) and Sega of Japan actually respecting spin-offs like Archie and Fleetway comics and their fanbases instead of just shoving them away like outcasts.
Something must've happened between Generations and Lost World for Amy to become less gushy gushy about her feelings towards Sonic. I phrased it like that, because there is a Lost Worls cutscene where it sounds like Amy is about to say something about her feelings to Sonic before being cut off by the communication device shutting down. I truly think the biggest change of their relationship was during the 6 months where Sonic was captured on Eggman's Death Egg in Forces. Amy spent half a year thinking that Sonic is dead. Half a year of being ripped away from what you think is the love of your life. That changes someone. Not only that, but she was also running the resistance along with Knuckles. Amy kept things organized, kept the resistance alive. A very important job, along with losing her longtime crush, changes her ao much that she becomes much more responsible and more like herself. And that adds up with IDW, where 1 month after Sonic Forces, Amy reaches out to Sonic in a more friendly and professional way. Sonic even points out her old behavior of following Sonic everywhere, and Amy very much denies that's what she was there for.
As long as the team thinks about this carefully, I wouldn’t mind them being a thing! But I also don’t mind where they are right now. Though now might be subject to change… idk they’re cool 😎
I'd be o k with the ship if all the sonamy stans weren't so annoying. They spent hours a day trying to convince you that it's cannon when it's obviously not. The creator of amy rose even said that sonic does not and will never love her.
Heroes' characterisation of Amy was clearly a bit for comedic effect to fit with it's lighter tone, but then the writers took it as her entire personality
I was considering making a video on this (Frontiers redeemed my interest in this ship after over a decade and now it lives rent-free in my brain) but you did it exactly how I would have but better. Also, are you Australian? If so, nice to see more Aussie gaming RUclipsrs.
Well. I have got my own theory. Sonic accually feels something to Amy but is not enough bold to make a move and tell her. Anyway. So many fans take strings in their hands and drive the story themself (I am one of them).
Honestly I've always seen it as they're definitely a couple, but they have lives outside of a relationship. I don't mind if they never acknowledge them as a couple officially, because the series really isn't about that sort of thing. It's a videogame meant for fun, and it's always gonna be leaning more towards cool adventures in all the media surrounding it. We always get cute interactions between the two in the games and other media, and I'm perfectly fine with that
For now, it’s mostly a fan ship that is loved by a large portion of the fanbase (Myself included) but it seems SEGA had gained brain cells by more competent writers of the series and are now open to Sonic and Amy being in a relationship, especially after Frontiers (Moreso the Japanese script.), so, I think SEGA is doing a good job with these two hedgehogs.
Sonic and Amy like each other romantically Its been confirmed by writers Its been confirmed by dialogues And its been confirmed by character descriptions Amy is Sonic love interest and the fact that Sonic channel always have this depiction of the characters in their fanart tag And furthermore the ship has Valentines day merchandise The ship is indeed something oficial
The reason why there's so much of an obsession with shipping: It mostly boils down to wish fulfillment and and dopamine rushes. "If my two favorite characters get together, maybe I'll have a better time with my love life." That sort of thing.
it doesn't matter if it's canon are not. ships are for fun. no one is shipping characters because it's canon. "it's not backed by the series at all". people do use some evidence for their ship. it's not just random. I'm not a sonamy shipper but I do enjoy the ship sometimes. I'm a sonadow shipper 😈. but yeah people do use evidence and source material and character interactions to back up the ship. there are certain character chemistries people like. shipping is just for fun and it doesn't hurt anyone maybe be open minded and understand that this is just a normal fun thing people do and you don't have to like it.
@@dshaynietheawesome yes also this is the sonic series where canon barely exists anyway. they retcon shit every 5 minutes. and they're are multiple canon universes that exist. you could simply say it's an au and it would be plausible sometimes. sonic boom is a canon au. there's even fandom concepts that have become canon like shadow with wings or even the concept of nine from sonic prime (the nine tails and mechanical tails are original tho). the idea that shadow was based off super sonic from the miral from Sonic 3 was 100% FAN THEORY AND THEY FINALLY MADE IT CANON IT WAS SO COOL! so yeah some stuff gets canonized in an alternate universe or added to the main canon. sonic and the black knight is literally an official au but it technically isn't cuz the main sonic just enters a alternate reality where the sonic characters are not the sonic characters for some reason. also tailstube confirmed that there is a multiverse where different sonics can exist. this is just validating peoples ocs or interpretations of sonic without saying it's canon tho. which I think works as it won't effect the main canon. you can just say it's a alternate reality
12:17 I noticed the Project Colors Re-Rainbow cutscene, they look incredible & are definitely on par with Unleashed and Generations cutscenes, an average fan probably wouldn’t even notice that it’s fan made😃
I say Amy was sorta close in Sonic Unleashed but it isnt really fair...Amy is written to be Sonic obsessed so she always gets closer than everyone else but in Sonic Adventure it was revealed they did date before but Sonic broke it off for unknown reasons... Rouge mostly Hit on Knuckles and Shadow and Tikal really sounded like she also wants Sonic but she got ghosted as for his other options they didn't interact with Sonic enough like Blaze and Vanilla but I love Sonic and Amy and officially though Sonic and Tikal would probably be great too
Blaze is a good potential. It would be much less likely to be a toxic relationship. Black Knight basically confirms that Sonic has feelings for Blaze with the Sir Percival thing, despite Amy's claims of prior plans with Sonic.
I think it a type of relationship that they don't say that there a couple but there actions with each other make you a couple like those people that are not marry but married by love so they are still married without having to be officially married that's with I think there doing with sonic and amy's romantic relationships
I mean she was bad at first but they made sonic and Amy have a close bond . And sonic does have feelings for Amy now but will never confess. Sonic frontier amy i wish I made my mind up sooner Or Amy i wish we were sharing a umbrella amy which is romance in China. Amy character has come down over time where she became matured taking responsibility. Not chasing sonic no more. It makes me love her character more than before and became a protector over Amy character. Since sonic doesn't run away from Amy no more they created a great and cutest Bond and brought me a sonamy shipper now.
I’m no shipper and I honestly think it’s a waste of time, people nowadays are way too obsessed with the concept of shipping in my opinion, but that doesn’t mean I dislike the idea of sonic and amy being a couple, I like their dynamic in some games and tv shows, I know people like to hate on Amy because she was portrayed as the obsessive stalker that always wants to be with sonic, but the thing is I don’t think Amy deserves that treatment, yes she was overbearing and bratty in some of sonic media, but the ones where’s she’s passionate, loving and protective are the reasons why I like Amy as a character, and I love how sometimes her loving nature is used as a foil to Sonic’s ego, I really think their personalities bounce off each other very well, at least in some cases, and I feel like her change in personality in the early days of the sonic franchise(specifically the 2000s) was because the fans didn’t like Amy as a character, though I’m pretty that isn’t really the characters fault it’s the fans because the back then the fans just didn’t like Amy but didn’t actually think to make Amy more likable, sometimes fans are just idiots that don’t know what they had until its gone, Anyway the point Is I don’t hate the idea of sonamy, and I wish people could appreciate Amy more.
11:13 Sonic collect Heart tokens for Amy not because he secretly has a crush on her but love is her only character trait. He collect the same hearts for Sage not because he's in love with her but Sage want to feel loved. That or the game was rush and they couldn't make a new token.
I hate Sonadow with a passion, its always toxic and most of its fans just attack everyone that has a different opinion then they do and they act like youre homophobic if you say you dont like the ship. I would honestly like to see Sonic and Amy get together, i think they can work out. I'm glad SEGA (kinda) stopped portraying Amy as an obsessive stalker, wich makes me understand why Sonic would run away from her. If they decide to leave Sonic as he is, not wanting a relationship, thats all good with me. The Sonadow fans i have seen are just delusional. Like with Sonic Prime, Shadow touches Sonic on his shoulder and everyone is like "OMG THEY ARE CANON THEY ARE IN LOVE" and then Sonic and Amy literally kiss and theyre like "Nah that doesnt prove anything". They want ME to respect their opinion but as soon as i dont agree with THEIR opinions, they come at me with the "youre homophobic" "let us do what we want" bs. Its so tiring lol.
Ok First of all. Im a non toxic sonadow shipper here and I HATE WHEN SOMEONE USES THE “ur homophobic” CARD BECAUSE THEN IT MAKES ALL OF US NON TOXIC SHIPPERS LOOK BAD!! Not all of the sonadow shippers are bad. If you saw amy and sonic interacting the same way sonic and shadow did in sonic prime you would act the same way TOO. DID YOU NOT SEE THE TOXIC SONAMY FANS TALKING ABOUT SONIC BARELY TALKING TO THE OTHER ROSES?? Those are the real delusional ones. I never once thought that in sonic prime. I just thought that it was really cute how they helped eachother. Also in the Spanish dub he quite literally says “I love you too, shadow.” I’m NOT saying that it’s canon I just had to point that out like how almost ALL of you sonamy shippers point out every little detail in sonic boom. I just love the fact that you’re talking about toxic shippers when you’re acting just like them. This is why *ALL THE SHIPPERS* get claimed as “toxic” by most of the non fandom involved people. I like platonic sonamy because I think that if sonic couldn’t ever treat her right because he’s not busy worrying about a relationship. She should definitely find someone who does treat her right. But she’s too in love with him to realize that. I really do hope that she can find someone who likes her for who she is instead of sonic, he never makes really any time for her because he’s always running. That’s why I don’t ship her with anyone, and before you pull the “oh she doesn’t like girls” I wasn’t going to say that. I do not ship her with blaze but could I somehow see some potential of their dynamic working together? I’m not too sure. I don’t think she would ever like blaze but at some point I guess they could work but do you know any male characters that would be perfect for her? Or do you also think that she’s strong by herself. (And also sonic and shadow are *rivals* not -enemies- rivals respect eachother and help eachother out when they really need it. Enemies however.. like, let’s say. Sonic and eggman. Maybe they are rivals who knows? But I think sonic sort of respects eggman in a way but still doesn’t like him.
@@project.exe._3 if i saw sonic and amy act like sonic and shadow did in sonic prime i most certainly would not have done the same bc i am not a super active shipper especially not in the sonic fandom bc shipping in the sonic fandom causes literal online wars - i have been there - and i wasnt pointing out every little detail in sonic boom, i am not the type to actively defend a ship (i really just hate them but shut my mouth about it most of the time because half of the sonic fandom will be on my back if i don't, just not here) Also i am aware that there are non toxic Sonadow shippers so thats why i said "ALMOST everyone" not "everyone". I have actually been involved in the sonic fandom for three years, i still love Sonic and the characters, i'm just not part of the fandom anymore :)
The real sin here is Sonadow the worse ship to ever be produced and somehow people think that it works... It doesn't Iizuka himself literally said that Sonic and Shadow are not even friends (well he didn't directly say it but it's mostly implied by him) Who in there right mind ever thought that this was a good idea You should've made that into a video
@@dshaynietheawesome I mean it is sorta lol but there are ppl that seriously are just dead on for this ship it's up there with being the most popular ship I'm not even joking about that
@@coolgamersonicyes7196 yeah im still headcanon convinced the two are related in some capacity, the ultimate lifeform had to get hedgehog dna from somewhere and i don’t think it’s a coincidence he and sonic not only look similar but have identical natural abilities.
ugggghhh finally someone mentioned the rouge and knuckles thing, but idc what sonic team or sega says about their ages. They gave them canon ages and removing them from canon does not change the fact that these character have literally only aged up a few times and not by much. Cuz classic amy at one point was 8 then bumped to 12 for her modern design but because generations out right states they're past version's that would make classic sonic 12 and classic tails 4. Yes i did the math for a while and yes i think too far into it but that also makes silver and blaze 11 if they were born around the same time and knuckles 13.
>goes through the whole video before briefly mentioning the Sonic Boom show >doesn't mention the episode where Sonic gets captured by a super fan and comments on a "Sonamy" fanfic as a distraction Anakin: This is outrageous. It's unfair! Since I'm a very passive fan who mainly just watches cutscenes occasionally, it was nice to see that there is a sort of progression regarding their relationship. Oh and I agree, the Sonic Boom versions are definitely together and are bad at hiding it. lol
The Main problem with Amy is that she and Eggman have no chemistry. Knuckles and Eggman have history and Knuckles has something Eggman wants. Tails and Eggman can viewed as intellectual equals and Sonic vs Eggman is the main premise of the franchise. Amy and Eggman have nothing.
yeah sonamy just make me wanna jump out the window, its cool and all, im sorta a supporter, but just searching the term on deivantart is giving me stage infinity brain cancer (edit): i searched it up and now im gonna be haunted forever
pretty big comparrison of the koopa king trying to take over kingdoms and kidnapping a princess against her will because he has a live long obsessive crush on her to a teenage hedgehog girl's friends with and on good terms with the guy she has an obsessive crush on
Literally, I clicked on this vid and the first comment was basically a bunch of people shittong on sonadow like, you can like a ship without needing to hate on another lol
I don’t personally care for any ship in the franchise. I wouldn’t mind if Sonic and Amy became canon but it would inevitably kinda devolve Amy back to the ‘Sonic stalker gf’ trope which is the reason I don’t want it to happen.
In games all I see is sonic “ friends “ and I’m just tired of ships that people makes should not exist I’m just saying the ship thing really needs to stop like fnaf so I’m just saying it should not exist in the first place it would drive the creators of the games crazy
Sonamy is definitely a canon ship, but it’s not meant to ever become official. Their dynamic of Sonic not wanting to be tied down and always on the move, while Amy fully supports his lifestyle but only wishes she could keep up with him is wonderful; but if they started dating it would ruin some of the comedic moments they have and the “will they won’t they” that keeps the fandom so hooked.
Sonic doesn’t dislike Amy at all, she’s just the one person whose energy overpowers his and drains him when thrown onto him all at once. He’s also pretty awkward when it comes to romance, because he doesn’t know how to react to it.
I agree with almost everything but the “slowing down” point. Being in a relationship doesn’t slow you down. That would imply Amy doesn’t love Sonic for Sonic and she does. She always wants to join him on his adventures. Because her energy can be more than his, she could be the drive he needs to not feel held down. These two would be strong both together and apart.
Their relationship literally doesn’t have to change if they did become canon because it really wouldn’t. Also, could you call romance a good thing if being “tied down” is the only way to do it? I’ll respectfully say it’s a very outdated mindset when looking at real relationships and implies romance is a burden. It would also imply you want a traditionally stereotypical relationship. Which would not be the case for Sonic and Amy. But that’s just me. You don’t have to agree with my overly extra response. This might be just me. 🤷♀️
@@essycogany2738exactly! I completely agree with you. Nothing will slow him down. I don’t know why sonic thinks that.
why else would she spend all those years running after him
probably to run alongside him
@@dshaynietheawesome yep. Also, she doesn’t do that no more. Sonic is more comfortable around her now.
@@essycogany2738 I don’t know what you’re talking about, I didn’t say the words “slowing down” or “tied down”. I actually emphasized Amy is the opposite of that and only wishes to keep up with Sonic’s on-the-move freedom and lifestyle. He is faster than her but she still wants to make that effort, that’s an admirable part of her character
When I mentioned her energy draining Sonic, it’s for the very reasons I mentioned. Sonic doesn’t know how to handle it and he pretty much becomes introverted when that happens. He doesn’t dislike it though, he’s just not used to it. Sonic in general is shy when it comes to romance, he even got awkward around Elise in some scenes of 06.
In the ending scene of Season 2 in Sonic X when he finally comes back to their world, Amy is in tears because she worried she’d never see him again. She’s emotional and questioning a lot in that moment of shock, and so she asks Sonic to tell her he loves her so she can truly know. Amongst her anger and tears he gives her a flower, and you see him mouth the words while the music cuts out the dialogue, as she gives him a huge hug and she bursts into tears. Sonic is clearly overwhelmed by her as usual, but he still has a smile and lets her this time because he truly means what he said. That is proof of their dynamic having meaning, even if Sonic isn’t ready for a full relationship. Just because Sonamy is canon, doesn’t mean they have to end up dating for it to still have meaning like that scene.
Amy is one of my favorite characters in this series… when she is well written.
I see Amy as how she is written in games like SA1 & Sonic Frontiers, rather than Sonic Heroes & Sonic Rush.
As a SonAmy fan, I love the subtextual relationship development between these two (regardless if they are just friends or if there is a potential for romance.)
Amy went from a girl Sonic couldn’t stand being around to one of Sonic’s closest allies.
In addition they bring out the best in one another. Sonic inspired Amy to seek out adventure. She tracked Sonic down because she wanted to meet her idol, but instead Amy found someone she can actually look up to as a fellow adventurer.
Amy has shown Sonic sometimes showing some compassion and understanding instead of just leaving others in the dust can go a long way (IE. Gamma, Shadow, the Koco, Trip, etc) Sonic even finally relents and adopts her empathy for the Koco when he realizes she was right. This girl sonic used to consider weird and clingy is now inspiring him to be a better person.
Edit: As a side note, Ian Flynn stated on the bubblecast that he intended for there to be a plot line where sonic regret not making his mind up about Amy before she pledged to travel the world. The concert ended up on the writer room floor, but it is very fascinating. Consider how close that was to being in the final product. Seeing as you can even find a voice in the files of the game
I think the mutual side of their relationship will remain in the subtext (if anything) going forward, no matter how much potential chemistry there is, but the fact these two have grown so much together is already enough for me.
I ship Sonamy and appreciate this videos. For now, to me, they are best friends with crushes on one another. They have a bond that’s obviously growing and developing. I’d say it’s canon in sense that the two characters do have romantic feelings but won’t do anything about it. Not yet anyways. But I’m fine with either or. It doesn’t help that the franchise has official stuff promoting them or writers and creators of the characters confirming Sonic’s crush on Amy so who knows? 🤷♀️
@@essycogany2738 well said
The way i see it, Sonic loves Amy, but loves hi freedom even more. Amy, on the other hand, sees that freedom as another reason to love Sonic, basically creating a loop

Interesting tidbit about Sonic X: It was originally meant to end with the episode where Super Sonic returned to his world. So the scene where he shows up at Amy's house could be seen as closure for their relationship in the show.
And when Amy cries out to him to just say that he loves her, he hands her a rose. While his words are muted, his lip-flaps could possibly match up with either "Aishteru, Amy," or "Daisuki, Amy," both are ways of saying "I love you," with "aishteru" being the more passionate and extreme of the two.
Heck, the original JP airing had "Natsu no Hi," a Japanese love song from the 80's, playing in the background, and was storyboarded specifically with it in mind. (It would be replaced with The Shining Road in subsequent rereleases.)
...Take all this as you will.
I think people overthink this ship too much. It's just a gag bit. Amy's the overzealous romantic and Sonic's the hero who can handle anything, but gets awkward about romance because he's still a young boy, but he probably has some feelings for her too. That's it. Nothing is going to come of it because that's how it was designed.
Same can be said to other ships.
With Amphibia, people been shipping the human girl characters with each other a lot. A few blush moments were once pointed to some ships. Though some of them were from embarrassment.

That is very true.
I like Sonic rudely refused Amy's hug in Generations but in Frontiers he didn't. I am looking forward to seeing their relationship change gradually
Real
Officially, Sonic and Amy love each other.
This has been both confirmed by people who work for Sega like Stanley but also in games.
In Dream Team, Sonic filters several times with Amy (like the scene where they have to fight against the crab).
In Frontiers, Sonic says that he should have decided before and that he would have liked to share an umbrella with her (something which symbolizes love).
In IDW, Sonic and Amy show interest in each other.
The “Amy runs Sonic”period has also been over for a long time, Amy's new biography even says that she no longer does it.
Honestly, Archie drilled that “chasing” dynamic to the ground which made a lot of fans think it was canon when in reality, that barely happened in the games.
@@hotw_plush Not really.
The reason a lot of people think this is because of games like Generation or Heroes where she was obsessed with Sonic (it was to the point that he refuse a hug in Generation).
Archie had also shown this part of the character but it's quieter with those of 2017 which was much better written than the old ones.
@@Pan-cackes Eh, but still.
@Sonicmid This is why Archie 2017 is goat.
Sonic wasn't dating anyone anymore and Amy started having character development
Yas. 💅 This is very true! I'm just glad sega made Amy's personality..less weird. The reason why sonic is always nervous around amy is because he doesn't want anyone to know he likes her back. :3
What I really appreciate about SonAmy is that the two have become comfortable around each other and can simply be themselves. Sonic appreciates Amy and her affection is more tame.
Growing up, it was hard to make friends. The more I pushed for friendship, the more people pushed me away. Eventually, I got tired of being hurt and distanced myself from people.
Sonic and Amy don't have to change their lifestyles to be together. And the narrative doesn't tell you that they're destined to be together throughout time and space.

This video was awfully kinda sweet.
I heard about a few rules Sega set for IDW
-no added family members
-no shipping
-make Shadow ‘like vegeta’
I don’t know the original wording, but I can understand and agree with the first two.
The Sonic series was never meant to end or evolve that drastically overtime. Sure you have Eggman and Sage along with Shadow, but they most likely want to keep the characters consistent for as long as the series last. Just like how Nintendo is with Mario.
Also the fanbase is highly divided on many things, so I do feel sorry on any stress they have.
@GODZILLA2915 vegeta is better than shadow right now as at least he cares about his family while shadow doesn't want or need friends (which offends me as a team dark fan)
Sonic unleashed was my first Sonic game ever and the way his relationship with Amy was depicted there kind of changed my brain chemistry ever since, I like the ship a lot and find it fun despite the 'stalker' Amy stuff I have seen thrown around. Sonamy works so much better than other pairings I have seen from both characters, while there is fun to be made by shipping them with different characters I would be lying if said this isn't my favorite pairing for Sonic in specific.
There is other characters that Amy could have a fun relationship with and a interesting romance, but I can't see them being long lasting relationships that either end on good terms or not. Sonic to me is hard to ship with someone like Shadow because he isn't really into romance, like seriously I can't see Sonic in any way ending up together with Shadow because their rivalry and history together just doesn't read like a romantic one, they are constantly changing from frenemies to opposing rivals depending on the situation they are in, Shadow's world view is not compatible with Sonic's because he is too forgiving and won't do what's necessary when it comes down to it. Not to mention that both have their own style of being a lone wolf, Shadow is the prime example you expect from a lone wolf with his attitude and view of the world, while Sonic doesn't like to be tied down to one place for to long and preferres to travel the world whenever possible in search of adventure.
Sonally is something I don't get because I didn't grew up with satam or the archie comics so I never understood why they made such a great ship, although I'll say this, she works for the Archie depiction of Sonic but not so much his game version (growing up I literally thought Scourge was a OC because I didn't even know there existed a Archie comic of Sonic, so I just accepted him as a popular character made by the internet community).
Amy's admiration for Sonic can be played to the extreme sometimes, but it is also something that allows her to have more interesting ship opportunities because of how many characters are meant to be mirrors or rivals to Sonic. Jet is obviously not a viable option considering how much of a jerk he is, but characters like Blaze, Silver, Shadow, Metal Sonic and Surge have something that could lead to a semi believable relationship to form between them and Amy. Her compassion and lovely personality makes it so other characters could develop a friendship or even a crush on her, heck the whole reason she gets shipped with Shadow is because of those very traits reminding him of Maria's promise, Blaze is a alternative counterpart to Sonic so of course it stands to believe they could fall in love with each other, in the Christmas Sonic Mania short we see Amy helping Metal get back to eggman's base out if the kindness of her heart, Surge is a tragic character that had her whole life erased from her own mind hust so she could become a substitute for Sonic and seeing as her whole existence is to take Sonic's place it is believable that Amy could serve as a compassionate shoulder for the tenrec to slow help her regain some control over her life.
I had a lot to say about this subject, hope people can understand my points here and not condemn me for liking Sonamy more than other ships.

I think the mandates against relationships is also due to internak ship wars of the Archie comics. The problem with comics is they're easier to retcon because they don't take as much time as resources as movies and games. If two people work on the same comic but don't like each others ideas, they could suddenly change everything, including relationships.
It was one of many aspects of Archie Sega just didn't want to deal with any more. Especially with IDW being canon, and they wouldn't want a side material to make big status quo changes.
That being said, they do push for some ships to have moments (but not full on relationships), like suggesting Ian Flynn add some Vector and Vanilla moments (so now that is canon)
I wouldn't mind their relationship development in the comics cause I feel like it fits more, but as for as the games are concerned I content with the way they seem to be handling their current relationship
We mostly see sonic and Amy closer in the TV series. Sonic X, boom, and prime showed two of them interacting more and sonic himself being more comfortable around her and even confessing at some point. We also see more interaction and the IDW comics. My theory is the games were seeing them at work: missions count as work to them and sonic feels more flustered when he’s on the job. However, the TV series and comics have a lot of extra time to give the characters more interaction and even make their episodes more personal.
Sonic X when Amy goes on a "Date" with Sam says it all why Sonic runs and Amy realised why Sonic always runs. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows that moment from Sonic X
Sonamy FOREVER!!!!!
(Even though I'm a Sonaze fan, but i'd support!)

Even as Sonamy fan at this point I just don't care whether it or any other ship becomes canon or not. The only thing I wish for is characters being written consistently(thank god that stalker trait was thrown out of Amy's character) and Sega of Japan actually respecting spin-offs like Archie and Fleetway comics and their fanbases instead of just shoving them away like outcasts.
Something must've happened between Generations and Lost World for Amy to become less gushy gushy about her feelings towards Sonic.
I phrased it like that, because there is a Lost Worls cutscene where it sounds like Amy is about to say something about her feelings to Sonic before being cut off by the communication device shutting down.
I truly think the biggest change of their relationship was during the 6 months where Sonic was captured on Eggman's Death Egg in Forces.
Amy spent half a year thinking that Sonic is dead. Half a year of being ripped away from what you think is the love of your life. That changes someone. Not only that, but she was also running the resistance along with Knuckles. Amy kept things organized, kept the resistance alive. A very important job, along with losing her longtime crush, changes her ao much that she becomes much more responsible and more like herself.
And that adds up with IDW, where 1 month after Sonic Forces, Amy reaches out to Sonic in a more friendly and professional way. Sonic even points out her old behavior of following Sonic everywhere, and Amy very much denies that's what she was there for.
As long as the team thinks about this carefully, I wouldn’t mind them being a thing! But I also don’t mind where they are right now. Though now might be subject to change… idk they’re cool 😎
I'd be o k with the ship if all the sonamy stans weren't so annoying. They spent hours a day trying to convince you that it's cannon when it's obviously not. The creator of amy rose even said that sonic does not and will never love her.

Well. I have got my own theory. Sonic accually feels something to Amy but is not enough bold to make a move and tell her. Anyway. So many fans take strings in their hands and drive the story themself (I am one of them).
Honestly I've always seen it as they're definitely a couple, but they have lives outside of a relationship. I don't mind if they never acknowledge them as a couple officially, because the series really isn't about that sort of thing. It's a videogame meant for fun, and it's always gonna be leaning more towards cool adventures in all the media surrounding it. We always get cute interactions between the two in the games and other media, and I'm perfectly fine with that
Sonamy is fine ig
I hope this change I miss the concept of sonic running away and his cocky personality I think that this it is just sonic getting tired of it

For now, it’s mostly a fan ship that is loved by a large portion of the fanbase (Myself included) but it seems SEGA had gained brain cells by more competent writers of the series and are now open to Sonic and Amy being in a relationship, especially after Frontiers (Moreso the Japanese script.), so, I think SEGA is doing a good job with these two hedgehogs.

@@dshaynietheawesome yes also this is the sonic series where canon barely exists anyway. they retcon shit every 5 minutes. and they're are multiple canon universes that exist. you could simply say it's an au and it would be plausible sometimes. sonic boom is a canon au. there's even fandom concepts that have become canon like shadow with wings or even the concept of nine from sonic prime (the nine tails and mechanical tails are original tho). the idea that shadow was based off super sonic from the miral from Sonic 3 was 100% FAN THEORY AND THEY FINALLY MADE IT CANON IT WAS SO COOL! so yeah some stuff gets canonized in an alternate universe or added to the main canon. sonic and the black knight is literally an official au but it technically isn't cuz the main sonic just enters a alternate reality where the sonic characters are not the sonic characters for some reason. also tailstube confirmed that there is a multiverse where different sonics can exist. this is just validating peoples ocs or interpretations of sonic without saying it's canon tho. which I think works as it won't effect the main canon. you can just say it's a alternate reality

I say Amy was sorta close in Sonic Unleashed but it isnt really fair...Amy is written to be Sonic obsessed so she always gets closer than everyone else but in Sonic Adventure it was revealed they did date before but Sonic broke it off for unknown reasons... Rouge mostly Hit on Knuckles and Shadow and Tikal really sounded like she also wants Sonic but she got ghosted as for his other options they didn't interact with Sonic enough like Blaze and Vanilla but I love Sonic and Amy and officially though Sonic and Tikal would probably be great too
Blaze is a good potential. It would be much less likely to be a toxic relationship. Black Knight basically confirms that Sonic has feelings for Blaze with the Sir Percival thing, despite Amy's claims of prior plans with Sonic.
I think it a type of relationship that they don't say that there a couple but there actions with each other make you a couple like those people that are not marry but married by love so they are still married without having to be officially married that's with I think there doing with sonic and amy's romantic relationships
I want an amy for myself now
you couldve named it canon or fanon it was right there
i refuse to be part of that trend
I like the ranma 1/2 music in the backround
I mean she was bad at first but they made sonic and Amy have a close bond . And sonic does have feelings for Amy now but will never confess.
Sonic frontier amy i wish I made my mind up sooner
Or Amy i wish we were sharing a umbrella amy which is romance in China.
Amy character has come down over time where she became matured taking responsibility. Not chasing sonic no more.
It makes me love her character more than before and became a protector over Amy character.
Since sonic doesn't run away from Amy no more they created a great and cutest Bond and brought me a sonamy shipper now.
I’m no shipper and I honestly think it’s a waste of time, people nowadays are way too obsessed with the concept of shipping in my opinion, but that doesn’t mean I dislike the idea of sonic and amy being a couple, I like their dynamic in some games and tv shows, I know people like to hate on Amy because she was portrayed as the obsessive stalker that always wants to be with sonic, but the thing is I don’t think Amy deserves that treatment, yes she was overbearing and bratty in some of sonic media, but the ones where’s she’s passionate, loving and protective are the reasons why I like Amy as a character, and I love how sometimes her loving nature is used as a foil to Sonic’s ego, I really think their personalities bounce off each other very well, at least in some cases, and I feel like her change in personality in the early days of the sonic franchise(specifically the 2000s) was because the fans didn’t like Amy as a character, though I’m pretty that isn’t really the characters fault it’s the fans because the back then the fans just didn’t like Amy but didn’t actually think to make Amy more likable, sometimes fans are just idiots that don’t know what they had until its gone, Anyway the point Is I don’t hate the idea of sonamy, and I wish people could appreciate Amy more.
I mean, every fandom now a days are just ships. I miss when it wasn’t like that tbh.
11:13 Sonic collect Heart tokens for Amy not because he secretly has a crush on her but love is her only character trait. He collect the same hearts for Sage not because he's in love with her but Sage want to feel loved. That or the game was rush and they couldn't make a new token.
@@nasceredickinson2319 yup sage reuses them because oh crap we don’t have time to make something separate
Sage clearly has a crush on Sonic by the end of the game. Obviously it wouldn't actually lead to anything, and will probably be forgotten.
@Cretaceous158 Interest theory.
I dont really ship them but in most games they look cute together tbh
did this man tell his love story for a sonamy video? I think he did
I hate Sonadow with a passion, its always toxic and most of its fans just attack everyone that has a different opinion then they do and they act like youre homophobic if you say you dont like the ship. I would honestly like to see Sonic and Amy get together, i think they can work out. I'm glad SEGA (kinda) stopped portraying Amy as an obsessive stalker, wich makes me understand why Sonic would run away from her. If they decide to leave Sonic as he is, not wanting a relationship, thats all good with me.
The Sonadow fans i have seen are just delusional. Like with Sonic Prime, Shadow touches Sonic on his shoulder and everyone is like "OMG THEY ARE CANON THEY ARE IN LOVE" and then Sonic and Amy literally kiss and theyre like "Nah that doesnt prove anything". They want ME to respect their opinion but as soon as i dont agree with THEIR opinions, they come at me with the "youre homophobic" "let us do what we want" bs. Its so tiring lol.
Ok First of all. Im a non toxic sonadow shipper here and I HATE WHEN SOMEONE USES THE “ur homophobic” CARD BECAUSE THEN IT MAKES ALL OF US NON TOXIC SHIPPERS LOOK BAD!! Not all of the sonadow shippers are bad. If you saw amy and sonic interacting the same way sonic and shadow did in sonic prime you would act the same way TOO. DID YOU NOT SEE THE TOXIC SONAMY FANS TALKING ABOUT SONIC BARELY TALKING TO THE OTHER ROSES?? Those are the real delusional ones. I never once thought that in sonic prime. I just thought that it was really cute how they helped eachother. Also in the Spanish dub he quite literally says “I love you too, shadow.” I’m NOT saying that it’s canon I just had to point that out like how almost ALL of you sonamy shippers point out every little detail in sonic boom. I just love the fact that you’re talking about toxic shippers when you’re acting just like them. This is why *ALL THE SHIPPERS* get claimed as “toxic” by most of the non fandom involved people. I like platonic sonamy because I think that if sonic couldn’t ever treat her right because he’s not busy worrying about a relationship. She should definitely find someone who does treat her right. But she’s too in love with him to realize that. I really do hope that she can find someone who likes her for who she is instead of sonic, he never makes really any time for her because he’s always running. That’s why I don’t ship her with anyone, and before you pull the “oh she doesn’t like girls” I wasn’t going to say that. I do not ship her with blaze but could I somehow see some potential of their dynamic working together? I’m not too sure. I don’t think she would ever like blaze but at some point I guess they could work but do you know any male characters that would be perfect for her? Or do you also think that she’s strong by herself. (And also sonic and shadow are *rivals* not -enemies- rivals respect eachother and help eachother out when they really need it. Enemies however.. like, let’s say. Sonic and eggman. Maybe they are rivals who knows? But I think sonic sort of respects eggman in a way but still doesn’t like him.
Also I do respect your opinion. That’s really valid. I do not hate sonadow or sonamy tho. I like both. Both is good.
@@project.exe._3 if i saw sonic and amy act like sonic and shadow did in sonic prime i most certainly would not have done the same bc i am not a super active shipper especially not in the sonic fandom bc shipping in the sonic fandom causes literal online wars - i have been there - and i wasnt pointing out every little detail in sonic boom, i am not the type to actively defend a ship (i really just hate them but shut my mouth about it most of the time because half of the sonic fandom will be on my back if i don't, just not here) Also i am aware that there are non toxic Sonadow shippers so thats why i said "ALMOST everyone" not "everyone". I have actually been involved in the sonic fandom for three years, i still love Sonic and the characters, i'm just not part of the fandom anymore :)
Fan ship, fan ship, fan ship, totally fan ship, fan ship
I disagree
i agree.
I disagree
i agree
I'm a burger
The real sin here is Sonadow the worse ship to ever be produced and somehow people think that it works...
It doesn't Iizuka himself literally said that Sonic and Shadow are not even friends (well he didn't directly say it but it's mostly implied by him)
Who in there right mind ever thought that this was a good idea
You should've made that into a video
@@coolgamersonicyes7196 because it’s not even remotely a ship at all, if anything it’s just a meme
@@dshaynietheawesome I mean it is sorta lol but there are ppl that seriously are just dead on for this ship it's up there with being the most popular ship I'm not even joking about that
@@coolgamersonicyes7196 yeah im still headcanon convinced the two are related in some capacity, the ultimate lifeform had to get hedgehog dna from somewhere and i don’t think it’s a coincidence he and sonic not only look similar but have identical natural abilities.
ugggghhh finally someone mentioned the rouge and knuckles thing, but idc what sonic team or sega says about their ages. They gave them canon ages and removing them from canon does not change the fact that these character have literally only aged up a few times and not by much. Cuz classic amy at one point was 8 then bumped to 12 for her modern design but because generations out right states they're past version's that would make classic sonic 12 and classic tails 4. Yes i did the math for a while and yes i think too far into it but that also makes silver and blaze 11 if they were born around the same time and knuckles 13.
I wonder what happened to that SuperStars review you were going to do?
I would say this is probably not canon as we all know Sonic isn't into romance at all, so I won't be surprised if it was canon or not.
semi canon
>goes through the whole video before briefly mentioning the Sonic Boom show
>doesn't mention the episode where Sonic gets captured by a super fan and comments on a "Sonamy" fanfic as a distraction
Anakin: This is outrageous. It's unfair!
Since I'm a very passive fan who mainly just watches cutscenes occasionally, it was nice to see that there is a sort of progression regarding their relationship.
Oh and I agree, the Sonic Boom versions are definitely together and are bad at hiding it. lol
i wish i could of added that super fan scene i just couldn’t fit it anywhere
Boom Amy is worse than game Amy.
The Main problem with Amy is that she and Eggman have no chemistry. Knuckles and Eggman have history and Knuckles has something Eggman wants. Tails and Eggman can viewed as intellectual equals and Sonic vs Eggman is the main premise of the franchise. Amy and Eggman have nothing.
I guess something is that eggman sent metal sonic kidnapped her but I don't know if that counts.
yeah sonamy just make me wanna jump out the window, its cool and all, im sorta a supporter, but just searching the term on deivantart is giving me stage infinity brain cancer (edit): i searched it up and now im gonna be haunted forever
It's like bowser and peach but unfortunately has the problem of using words to express Amy's obsession over sonic
pretty big comparrison of the koopa king trying to take over kingdoms and kidnapping a princess against her will because he has a live long obsessive crush on her
to a teenage hedgehog girl's friends with and on good terms with the guy she has an obsessive crush on
i think we should just respecc peoples opinions like cmon guys theyre just ships not the fricking bible
Literally, I clicked on this vid and the first comment was basically a bunch of people shittong on sonadow like, you can like a ship without needing to hate on another lol
@@lpsamyroseexactly. I really just wish I could meet more chill people in the fandom like you guys fr.😭
@@lpsamyrosei love ur pfp btw it’s so pretty❤️❤️
I don’t personally care for any ship in the franchise. I wouldn’t mind if Sonic and Amy became canon but it would inevitably kinda devolve Amy back to the ‘Sonic stalker gf’ trope which is the reason I don’t want it to happen.
Sonic is allowed to like Amy, as a treat. Also he's real and my friend.
You can never miss seeing Follow Me coming to save Amy's character in Sonic Heroes and her own Adventure's song.
In games all I see is sonic “ friends “ and I’m just tired of ships that people makes should not exist I’m just saying the ship thing really needs to stop like fnaf so I’m just saying it should not exist in the first place it would drive the creators of the games crazy
2:39 there’s a S*xual Assault 2?!
1:58 he looks like a 5 year old with those eyes
