    if ur worried about ‘woke’, sonic isn’t for u. “the only thing sonic hates is oppression” (quote from his character description)

    • @Axxidous
      @Axxidous 4 дня назад +14

      I don’t really agree with that first sentence. As someone who is worried about wokeness usually has nothing to complain about in a series that usually never really dives into woke or anti-woke culture.
      The movies literally haven’t introduced the girl characters yet and we are already getting Shadow. And some fans want to call Paramount sexist because of it. The movies aren’t woke, the viewers are. lol
      Also, you’re right. Sonic does hate oppression. But they weren’t talking about oppression. They were talking about woke culture. What people refer to these days as woke is not the opposite of oppression.
      Edit: in case any other idiots read “As someone who is worried about wokeness” and that I meant myself before reading that I was describing other people, and people actually like that comment like a moron, thank you for contributing to ignorance. And I don’t meant like “you’re intolerant, you’re ignorant”. I mean ignorance to learning something new and actually discussing shit rather than dismissing everything and sounding like an ear plugged bafoon.
      Weird how people can be Sonic fans and not resonate at all with anything appealing about Sonic. lol

    Definition of “Woke” for those who do not know. Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used as slang for a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights. Just info :)

      Literally how, tho? In the first clip alone, it's shown that Silas' issue was too many humans, not too many black people that Ken is trying to insinuate.
      "This results in completely intrusive and movie derailing subplots, such as that whole wedding storyline being used as an excuse to shove as many humans in as possible just to meet some stupid diversity quota."
      Silas never brought up black people in that clip, nor in the actual video. His claim isn't that they're trying to shove in black people in the Sonic movies, it's that they're trying to shove in humans. The "Stupid diversity quota" he's referring to is quite literally the same claim of "too many human characters" that the Sonic franchise has been getting ever since Shadow the Hedgehog & Sonic '06. Yeah, it's still a stupid argument and one that isn't valid at all to make, but Ken somehow interpreted that as "too many black people", which isn't what Silas was claiming in the slightest

These people don't care about quality, they only care about their own ideologies and beliefs, and if a movie, game or show doesn't do the things they hate they consider it "unwoke" and therefore good!

    Everyone knows that Sonic has the highs and lows so people talk about the lows quite a lot too on RUclips, so the title gives off that energy, too many lows, still can't trust the franchise, very standard take lol.
    ...Bro it took that long to finally get to the part we were waiting for and of course, its randomly said. I swear, I've been so many random videos lately and suddenly gets political and they rapid fire hate/nonsense. These people are doing it deliberately. At least the random videos I got were 7 minutes of just casual talking, but 14 minutes of Sonic, thats wild.
    Existing is woke/DEI now. I remember growing up with Rush Hour, which I guess technically wouldn't be revolutionary for me since I watched a lot of Chinese movies, grew up around Polynesians, black people and Asians (how he's gonna enjoy a vacation in Hawaii? We got all kine here). Idk if people complained about that movie back then, but it was so good. Imagining that movie today, wow people would just be talking about wokeness and DEI. How did we get here? Thats what I'm asking too, I can't answer how that video got there lol.

    3:50 Well, yes and no, back when it released, gameplay-wise sonic colors was a great game, which was quite rare, as sonic was just leaving the so called "dark ages". However, when it comes to the story and characterization, it just felt too watered down and silly, people were critical of this version of sonic (and the entire cast of characters too as a matter of fact) who was never this childish before, and its something that permeated throughout the 2010's
    Personally, id say this era was the real "dark age" as while yes, sonic 06 was terrible, it was overhated, as the game had potential to be great. I'd argue there are other sonic games worse than 06.

    Videos like his are the reason media literacy are so important. A lot of his “critiques” on the franchise are just outright not even true or just conjecture. The 2010’s weren’t even heavily criticized by people outside of the fandom. Boom happened, yes, but it’s a spin off by a completely different business and developer- made for a TV show! Generations, Colors, Mania, and Racing Transformed were all well received games from an era where Sonic didn’t make a lot of content. Superstars wasn’t even considered bad it just had low sales, and after playing the game it’s very a solid follow up to mania. The appearance is just preference because the game looks great. It’s sad to see these people be so in their own bubble that they ignore the fact they aren’t the only ones with opinions on these things. Sonic has always been for everyone, and a symbol for being rebellious and believing in yourself. He would hate the fact that video even exists, look at Sonic X, no one screamed DEI there, even though it has a black kid and a paraplegic. No one screamed DEI in Unleashed, where he travels the entire world. And no one screamed DEI when Sonic sampled MALCOM X for Wrapped in Black.

    At least the lack of Sonic game songs (especially any liscensed vocal ones from the games) problem won't be continuing in the third Sonic movie because it got confirmed directly from the Crush 40 lead singer/songwriter (Johnny Gioeli) that he'd signed a deal for Paramount to legally get the rights to the iconic SA2 theme song "Live & Learn" which has been the one that almost every fan was demanding for the Sonic 3 movie to have in it, and that an orchestrational version of that song's music played at the end part of the February 2 title reveal trailer and twice in the August 27 first full-length trailer. So at least Paramount understands how VITAL that song is to the upcoming Sonic 3 movie, instead of them not trying to include it.

    Hmm, I think SilasOS is trying to say that he doesn't like the fact that the wedding scene focused more on humans in general than on Sonic. Not to mention that Hollywood has a trend of "woke culture" where inclusion is needed in every film no matter the source material just to push an agenda. *However,* what he got *WRONG* is that just because there was diversity doesn't mean that it's woke. It was likely implemented as a small plot point to set up the G.U.N. Agents for future appearances and just so happened to have a diverse cast.
    His criticisms aren't as out of pocket as I think everyone believes them to be. When he talks about the movies, what I think he's getting at is that he didn't want the movies to be so human-centered. Instead of a "Sonic and Humans Movie", he wanted a Sonic movie with a side of humans. But because it was a Sonic and Humans Movie, he's saying that the writers were forced to go with some woke agenda because most Twit-tards can't stand the idea of a film with mostly white people in it (like the majority of the Sonic human cast). I believe this to be false, however.
    Sonic is known for being the guy who runs around, saving people, enjoying the scenery, and living life his own way with the wind blowing on his face. He was never one who needed to be accepted by others. He does things because he wants to and he needs no other reason. Even when we go back to old school Sonic, he starts his journey by himself, stopping Eggman from doing what he pleases because that'd interfere with the world he loves. People flocked behind him because they liked the person he was. And I believe that is Sonic is his truest form. In the movies, we see a completely different Sonic. One that had grown lonely from his years of isolation, imagining himself living with other humans as if he were a normal human himself. It was only by the end of it that Sonic was satisfied because he had finally started living with the people he cherished the most.
    Even in Sonic X, where we see the most interaction with humans that we've ever seen in Sonic media, Sonic doesn't require himself to latch onto others for happiness. He does what he wants, goes where he wants, and relaxes when he wants. He helps people because he thinks it'd be the right thing to do. He saves the day because that would cause harm to the people around him and interfere with his lifestyle. It had gotten to the point where beating Eggman became a part of his lifestyle. I believe this is the best way to include Sonic in a world of humans, not making him a young man longing for affection while being too afraid to show himself. I also believe that's his critique with the Sonic movies being a "Hollywood family movie with Sonic in it."

    I think the thing he was really trying to hammer in was how unnecessary the human characters were but in trying to sound smart he just said something REALLY dumb. (Also we have two gay couples in the sonic comics rn but he didnt say anything about that so im 90% sure he doesnt know what he was saying or just perfers animal characters over human characters which makes sense they fit in better)

      "I still grieve over what happened to Aunt Jemima"
      ....why? She wasn't a real person. Did you grieve when McDonald's moved away from Ronald too?

    Isn’t it funny how they never complained when movie cast and tv shows were all white characters and the black guy died first 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    How and what way was the sonic 2 movie woke is my question... That lady in the wedding scene was over the top in her acting wich is kinda expected in a **kids film** they dont have sonic and friends "preach" like the proud family's reboot did, also lets remember these same folks were so buthurt that the first sonic movie blew birds of prey out of the water that they tried pretending to be sonic fans to have the sonic 2 movie have sonic and tails be in a gay relationship... With tails being nearly half sonic's age... Yeah thats a thing they tried to do but were called out on it by everyone

    I will say one thing, if he didn't mentioned the "diversity characters" and just said less focus on humans in general, I would agree. I want to watch sonic for the sonic characters such as shadow knuckles tails and the others. I dont really care for the humans in the film as a whole. But I get he does also interact with humans. I just hope they do focus more on the sonic chataters. And unpopular opinion Jim kerry is the worst part of the sonic movies. He doesn't play eggman in them he plays himself. Which sucks
