Amy Rose is definitely a very important character especially when she's able to redeem Gamma, Shadow, and Silver with her words. Plus she even stands up to Sonic when he's about to attack Gamma and I love that she's very protective of others as well.😁👍🏻
In the original Teen Titans show, there was an episode where Starfire time traveled to a time where the Titans disbanded after her disappearance because they didn't realize she was the emotional core of the group and I imagine it would play out similarly in the Sonic universe if Amy just suddenly disappeared. Also I didn't notice SA2 would be the last story in the series if it wasn't for Amy since Shadow would've succeeded in his mission of destroying the world otherwise.
Oh don't make me bring up "Same as it Never Was" from TMNT 2k3. When Donnie gets sent into the future, the turtles fall apart because he was the one who kept them together. It ends with EVERYONE dead.
That's a great comparison. Even though Starfire is a badass in the battlefield, but as a friend she shows love and support for her teammates. Amy is the same way.
I would argue even as Amy admires Sonic, she doesn’t blindly idolize him either. The fact she stands up for Gamma in Adventures is exactly proof of that. There are a lot of other instances where she calls out Sonic’s mistakes, too. The main one off the top of my head is when When Sonic attacks Eggman without even recognizing she was there in Riders. Regardless of how she’s written in that game, she has every right to be mad! That isn’t just because she knows she deserves better treatment than that as his friend (He could have caused her to get pretty beat up), but also because she knows one of Sonic’s flaws is that he focuses on the bigger picture and doesn’t often pay attention to smaller, but very essential details. Whenever she *does* call him out, it’s because she knows Sonic can be/is usually better than however he’s currently acting. With the flicky arc in Adventures- if Sonic wasn’t already focused on figuring out Chaos’s whole deal, he probably *would* have helped her find the flicky’s family- but he (understandably) thought the eldritch water-thing that was doing heavy damage wherever it went took more priority. Sonic is a hero who usually takes on the big/prime opposition, whereas Amy is a hero who helps out others in smaller, but just as important ways that connect together to a larger situation. All of this being said, wonderful video/analysis!! Amy’s always been one of my absolute favorite Sonic characters, and I love whenever fans recognize and appreciate how much heart she brings to the series.
Yes, you hit on my take on Amy as well! People say that Amy has been turned into just a female Sonic but it feels like there's no nuance in that opinion. Sonic is a big-picture hero who stops the calamity and saves the day, and Amy is a small-picture hero who helps each individual personally. In that way, they act as a compliment and foil to each other - Sonic reminds Amy that without tackling the main issue, everything she does for everyone else is for nothing, and Amy reminds Sonic that the world he's trying to save is made up of individual people with their own lives, and it's no good to save the entire world but in doing so abandon its people to their misery. I particularly like how they specifically call each other out for this in Frontiers too!
@@stratosphericaI was just starting to think of this when reading OP's comment!! This sort of dynamic between Amy & Sonic even gives credence to that one line in My Sweet Passion: 🎶 _You probably need me just as much as I need you / I honestly need you just as much as you need me_ 🎶
Wow you made such a great point! Even in Sonic Frontiers he’s so focused on just saving Amy and Tails, him and Amy get into an argument because Amy is telling him he should be focused on saving EVERYONE that needs help. Had Amy not paid attention to the Koco and their stories, the group would’ve never understood their culture and even how to defeat the biggest villain in the game.
Amy doesn’t always fight to solve problems like the others, she uses her heart. Her love isn’t just for Sonic, but everyone. No one else in any of the forms of Sonic media can carry both the compassion and determination that Amy has. Someone sweet yet strong, passionate yet gentle. There is no one who can replace Amy Rose. 💖🌹 You do such a great job on these videos!
I feel as though people undermine Amy’s character “she’s just obsessive and weird” I think she just has a school girl crush but she’s still strong and tries her hardest to be independent in fact her crush on Sonic has done a LOT for a lot of people in the series for having so much compassion. She helped SHADOW FOR GODSAKE! The only one who actually saw him as a person and if it wasn’t for her as you said there would be NOTHING ! I feel like people don’t really acknowledge how much she has helped even in the smallest way turned into something big. If it wasn’t for her love and strongheadedness we would not have the majority of characters or timeline we have without her!
Exactly you said everything I also think and feel about Amy I always loved Amy she was always my favorite character and she is very underappreciated I will say she does get a bit more love now but people still are very disrespectful to Amy
She’s the heart of the gang, plain and simple. You can have arguments and debates around her writing and portrayals over the years and you’re allow to have whatever opinions you have but one thing that can’t be denied is that Amy has the biggest heart of the group.
If Amy wasn't there, we would need Chris Thorndike to remind Shadow of his past in order for the rest of the series to continue. And that is a timeline I don't want to live in.
I just love how she's written tbh, like she isn't this Hollywood Disney Princess or Princess Peach in the Mario movie. She's girly and she's flawed, but she's determined, full of love and compassion for all. Yeah, she was always written with puppy love for Sonic, massive crush and all. But she is, who she is. Amy grows, because of her love for Sonic, she learns from him to grow and pass what Sonic stands for onto others.
I like how Amy is unapologetically feminine. It feels like people just aren't allowed to portray female characters as "girly" these days... They always have to be "strong-independent women who need no man" or something, even though one of the strongest traits a woman (or anyone for that matter) can have is compassion and love.
I agree women are just as capable as a man is, while also being weaker in certain categories. Women CAN be strong without a man, it just depends on the woman, kinda like Sarah Conner or Lara Croft. But there are also women who need help from both men and women it just depends on the character and how they are presented.
Amy proves that being a independent woman character can work because she's both,she's feminine and strong,if Sonic dosent want to do something she will argue why he should or Amy will do it herself for example
Amy bonds with sonic over their love for adventure and speed, amy and tails have neen ESTABLISHED to be best friends with eachother, and amy and knuckles have the connection of being really powerful hitters with strong personalities, she has special connections with all of team sonic, and is probably the one to bring them all togsther sometimes.
I really hope Amy is in sonic movie 3. it would be so disappointing and such a missed opportunity to not have her in it. She's such a important character to the franchise (specially for shadow's arc) and since they want to keep building these movies to become more huge, Amy is just a guaranteed character to put in there. It doesn't look like she will be in it so far, but i pray that she does. In my opinion, she should have been introduced in 2 alongside tails and knuckles, but maybe that's just me
It is not a coincidence that Team Dark and Team Rose never fight each other or interact in Sonic Heroes… it’d be devastating for someone as loving and kind as Amy. Not only would Amy be fighting someone she once helped with their trauma that lost their memory and therefore wouldn’t remember her, but she’d also be fighting an E-Series robot that wasn’t her old friend Gamma… or at least mistaking Omega for him: Omega is a fucking death machine and is blind to the idea of compassion.
Interesting point you make about Sonic and Amy's personalities complimenting each other. SEGA's creators have stated that Sonic is written with the heart of a boy, explaining his love for adventure and not wanting to be tied down. If we assume that Amy was written with the heart of a girl, everything clicks into place. Even Amy's love of tarot cards reflects this, with girls in Japan at the time being obsessed with magical things like this at the time. While Amy boldly wanting to marry Sonic can be seen as problematic, once we see her as an innocent-minded young girl, it becomes more benign, silly, and makes sense in context. I believe this sentiment, alongside her unapologetic love and compassion for others, is at her core, just as Sonic's "young boy" nature is at his core.
That's just how powerful Amy's Love is for anyone she comes around with oh and can you do cream next not just about who she is as a character but her being the youngest of the sonic cast and she does represent that childlike innocence that hasn't been tainted by the world and I know this is just my opinion but cream is pretty cute though I do love the sister dynamic between Amy and cream like sonic does with tails that is something I wish to see more from Amy and if cream will ever make another appearance again
Amy is the one who convinced E-102 Gamma to rebel against Eggman She the one who convinced Shadow to keep his promise to Maria and helped Sonic defeat the Bio Lizard She the one who stop Silver from killing Sonic She was one of the Rebel Leaders in Forces She understood the Koco and worried about Sonic corruption she should respect
There is a lot, and I mean A LOT, I love about Amy and when it comes to love, she's a whole believer of it. People constantly ignore or make up excuses as to how certain events can play out the same without Amy, but honestly? No, her small compassionate feats move greater mountains, it's her love that pushes people to be better and to see the light inside all the darkness. Nobody would be able to talk to Shadow the same way Amy did, she didn't just beg him to do the right thing, she made him understand that there is good in the world, see can see the good in the ugly (she's an optimist, obviously) and that's what makes Shadow remember. Amy's love isn't just romantical, her love extends to everything and everybody, she's the heart of the team as much as she can be a gremlin like them. I don't like how Frontiers treats Amy's love as something she exclusively saved for Sonic before the "big ass revelation that will finally set the character straight", not only is it vague as hell as to what is she going to do, but she's always spread her love in many ways, whether it be helping a family of Flickies or talking to the Ultimate Lifeform, she always did that. I think if Amy never encountered Sonic on Little Planet, her life would just be endless boredom for her, not knowing what's her missing piece and not figuring out what she can do about it. Consulting the cards doesn't work, and she might be a victim of the ARK just as everybody on Earth. Amy loves adventure as well, and through them is how she spreads her love, she doesn't avoid adventures, she chases them like she does to Sonic.
Ngl, Amy could have her own game alongside Cream. I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t happened yet. She’s the main girl character in the verse, and Cream is basically her Tails, so it just makes sense for her to have her own game. (Or for any of the characters not named Sonic or Shadow to get their own games. I demand we get a Silver game!)
@@thymecrafter I’m oh saying it’s bad, I’m saying it’s bad that it’s cannon because it will always have he restriction of never being able to differ from the games or step on their toes.
She can get over-the-top and just straight up plain cheesy at times but I do appreciate the 'love' aspect about Amy's character. It's not just love that's about her character though, it'd be more accurate to say she's the 'soul' of the Sonic cast, since it also covers her peppy attitude, compassion for everything around her, the determination to help out her friends and of course, her heart for Sonic. Also you made me appreciate Amy in Frontiers more now. She felt too laid back to me personally but now I am having second thoughts
This video literally explains why I love Amy (and shadamy surprisingly). Also, when you were talking about her color pallete, I started wondering what her eyes could mean. Some people see her eyes as blue, which is also a pure and calm color but soemtimes its associated with freedom. Others see green which can be seen as a mark to continue and not to give up. And the gold/yellow can represent joy, freedom, and peace.
If anyone wants a well written Amy, read IDW. Seriously. All the problems she had have been resolved and her most remarkable personality traits are still there: - She steps up when needed (they even prove her leadership skills on the firsts arcs) - She's still the cutest and bubbliest (you can see how much she loves Cream and takes care of her) - Her crush on Sonic is not the 95% of her character. Also they hang out as friends sometimes and it's super nice to see Amy being happy with him, not just obsessed, and Sonic loving having her around, not escaping everytime he sees her. - She's super strong, both physically and mentally - I feel she exists ny herself, not just "Sonic's cheerleader". And it's so nice to see her relationships with other characters, like Cream, Lanolin, Surge... An don't get me started with Knuckles. That duo is the best. When I was a child, I just hated her. She was just "annoying girl with a crush on the protag", at least in Sonic X. And Sonic didn't have that many female characters and all of them were super girly. It's fine, but as a tomboy I felt so left out. It was the late 90s/2000s, everything was like girl = pink, boy = blue. And Amy annoyed me so much. Now? I love her. I'm playing Battle right now and OH MY GOD how much she has grown from Battle (also her skills descriptions, oh my god...) But her current depiction in IDW? I love her, I would love to be around her. Also congratulations on Prime, the Amys ended up being my favorite part of the show
That's what I've been saying!!! I know so many people demote Amy down to being a stalker, or just a girl with a bad temper. But NO WAY, she's a multi leveled character, and one of the best in the series. I'm so glad that so many people are starting to notice who she is, and not just assuming who she is anymore. By the way, another great video! I really enjoyed this one as a forever Amy Stan. XD
Historically, I was never the biggest Amy fan, but I've come to appreciate her a lot more. I love how quick she is to show compassion towards Gamma and stand up for him. Gamma didn't get to live long, sadly, so I'm happy he could meet Amy.
*technically* when elise dies, the flames are immediately released. so on top of the ark colliding with earth, iblis would be unleashed as well. speaking of unleashed, the ark's collision with the planet would release light and dark gaia. since early awakening messes with chip's memory, he wouldn't be able to put the world back together, and would likely die/flee from the planet if possible. also, with sonic dead, erazor djinn would successfully break free from the grasps of the story and invade earth. (as best as he could. iblis or gaia would probably kill him lol.) i forget some of frontiers' story, but i think destroying the titans frees the end from cyberspace. so now there'd be a moon-sized demigod to worry about as well. i think iblis would take care of gaia no problem, but the end might not be too effective against iblis, and would probably just roam space, trying to find some other world to torment. if we include superstars in this too, i think the only repercussion of not having amy would be that trip never finds the courage to open herself up and make a friend, leaving her a loner. truly the worst possible thing to come from this. TL;DR AMY IS OUR SAVIOR AND WE LOVE HER
What I love about Amy and Sonic’s friendship/relationship is that she is not only fulfilling her role as the heart of the team, but she shares her love with Sonic by teaching him how to be more considerate and passionate to the more minor problems others are facing and in doing this, she is teaching Sonic to be a better hero. This has been shown from examples like Adventure 1 with her telling Sonic to help the flicky find its family and to not destroy Gamma all throughout the series to the current game title of Frontiers when she tells Sonic to help the Koco find its lost love, to him, as we saw in the cutscenes, it was all a waste of time, it clearly matters to Sonic, but his big focus is to find and rescue Amy, Knuckles, and Tails, and we see her call him out on his crap by challenging him in his logic. It’s all very subtle, but we can clearly see throughout all the series from Adventure 1 to the current Frontiers game, that Sonic started out as brash, wreckless, and focused on bigger priorities, not wanting to go and help others in need on the side. But Amy teaches Sonic to do this more often throughout the game series and we even see her impacts shine through Sonic as we play through the games, mostly when he tends to stop and help others in need on the side that aren’t or are connected to his main goal. He clearly is impatient sometimes with some of the things he does, but he does them anyways as her influence has taught him, ‘treat others as you would want to be treated’ or more like ‘help others in need the same way you’d want to be helped’. Like I said, in doing this, she is teaching Sonic to be a better person/hero than he was before.
Amy has always been an important character of the Sonic series. People need to realize that without amy things wouldn't be the same. It's just like with Starfire from teen titans she's the glue that kept the titans together just like amy is with the main sonic cast
I haven't watched this vid yet but I found u literally last night from your silvaze video and now you're respecting amy???? We're seeing the start of one of the best sonic-tubers, yall
All this to say, i love amy ❤️🩷 she doesn’t deserve the hate she gets. People water down her beloved character to “an obsessed sonic fan girl” when there’s so much more than that
Amy is my second favorite character too! (Number one is Shadow) Ever since I have become a Sonic fan I've loved Amy I thought her love she showed to others and the way she was unapologetically herself was inspiring, Amy to me was a hero in her own right but others sadly don't see her that way and are not giving her any respect saying that she's a obsessive fan girl... So it made me really happy you made a video about her, showing how important she is and giving her the respect she deserves! Hoping this video reaches many other Sonic fans.
I wish we could customize her outfit in one of the games. I'm thinking a blue denim jacket, a boy band shirt, a belted denim skirt, and black converse sneakers. As a playable character, I think it would suit her heavy melee style.
Amy’s inception in CD, I think at least, was to make Sonic look cooler. Probably to further distance him from Mario in the 90s. The Japanese art for CD always had Sonic looking unfazed by Amy’s presence and her unapologetically fawning over him. Amy of course evolved passed her initial stance in CD, mostly in Adventure, but it’s cool to see how Sonic Team took an essentially typical troupe and at least tried something with it.
Seeing amy get this respect for her character, a deep dive into her heart and willingness to forgive and her passion and love is super important, you did a great job here! She is also one of my favorites for a lot of these same reasons. Growing up she was a very big inspiration and seeing the compassion she gives to even robots is amazing. It always felt super important that she was there to balance out Sonic’s ready to fight attitude. They really balance each other out a lot and it is very good!
Every true sonic fan knows Amy's impact on everyone she meets. Great video. Also I want to say, in the idw( comics, mostly written by Ian who writes the games now. )The person after him is Evan, she writes Amy and all the female characters one of the best in my opinion.
I like how these characters are so important to the series and actually matter to it If Sonic didn't existed, Tails would still be really insecure and suffer with bullying, Knuckles would still be alone on his own, Eggman would probably have took over the world, Amy would've be kidnapped or wouldn't be relevant at all being just another victim under Eggman Empire like all the other civillians in Sonic's World, Shadow would've never have been released because Eggman wouldn't need to relase it as one of his ways to conquer the world, he already would have the world, Eggman would probably start conquering other planets, use the Wisps as slaves to get their energy, he would have the world on the palm of his hands and the characters would not evolve in their own because Sonic was the start to all their developments, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and the others If Tails didn't existed, Station Square would be gone, Sonic would be gone in SA2, the world would've all its life sucked out of it in Lost World with no one to stop it since Tails was the one who could manage the machine after Eggman revealed to be all according to his plan, Eggman would once again have the world on his hands and all Sonic would be able to do is fight him without actually being able to stop his machine If Knuckles didn't existed, the Master Emerald would be unguarded, Eggman would probably be able to conquer the world in Sonic 3 & Knuckles without Knuckles to help Sonic & Tails, Eggman would have the power of the Master Emerald in the Death Egg, Angel Island would just be an island floating in the ocean and once again the Eggman Empire would rule around the world just like the last 2 cases If Amy didn't exist, as you pointed out, the world would be gone in SA2, everything would cease to exist and humanity would be dead And the list goes on, without Silver the future in 200 years would probably be ruined by Eggman's actions, or Eggman Nega would be able to destroy everything on his own, without Blaze the Sol Dimension would probably be doomed thanks to Eggman, Eggman Nega or Captain Whiskers, without Shadow, Black Doom would take over the world, Sonic would be dead in 06, Solaris would probably take over the entire timeline, etc.
I haven't seen the video yet, but I always love Amy no matter what. I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, Amy is to Sonic what Minnie Mouse is to Mickey Mouse.
Yes Amy is important. Actually I think it's long overdue for Sega to make her own game. Maybe feature all the female cast with Amy as the main character like Rouge Blaze and Cream. Just a thought!!!
You summed up pretty much everything that makes Amy Rose my favorite Sonic character! I just found your channel a couple of days ago, but I'm loving the passion you have about this franchise and it's characters. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of your content!
Amy Rose is my favorite Sonic Character and she's a very important character especially when she's the heart of the group. Sure, her love for Sonic is a bit extreme but she does care for everyone else as well and she deserves to help out and fight the bad guys with her Piko Piko Hammer. I honestly want to give Amy Rose a hug right now.😊💕
Finding this video was an unexpected surprise, but as an Amy stan ever since I played SA2 multiplayer (she's SO BROKEN) I agree with this so much. I especially agree with your views on her direction going forward. I think her still being in love with Sonic doesn't stop her from having development elsewhere and showing love for others, and the world. I felt her story in Frontiers was about her rethinking her lifestyle and future (also a big theme for Tails and Knuckles there), trying to live like Sonic does and seeing if that's what she wants. She can find her own adventures instead of just following him on his, but that doesn't mean she stops loving him. Amy's crush on Sonic is only a bad thing when writers make her entire character one big joke about it (Battle, some parts of X, the boss fight in Heroes). We'll have to see how things go from here, but I'm personally okay with Amy's lack of bubbly energy in Frontiers because it's a more serious situation that brings out the morose in everyone. The Murder of Sonic is by FAR my favourite recent take on Amy, but sadly it's apparently not canon. IDW has a good take on her too. While I don't think the 3rd movie will be ruined if she's not in it (I wanted Rouge in the Knuckles series but wasn't mad she wasn't), I really want to see her in the movie-verse because of how she'd play off Movie Sonic. You say they "match eachother's energy" here, but Movie Sonic is much more hyper, emotional and innocent than Game Sonic and I wonder how that'd affect their dynamic. At the same time, I worry they'd "over-correct" to appease her detractors, since some people who haven't kept up with modern Sonic media still think she's a one-dimensional fangirl.
This might be a dumb joke, but there might be an alternate universe where Amy was a seal. Because in this one, she’s the one who kisses Sonic awake in 06. Like a “kiss from a rose on the grey.” 😂🤦🏼♂️😂🤦🏼♂️😂🤦🏼♂️😂🤦🏼♂️
First of all, pretty nice analysis of Amy as a character If she's part of the new movie, I hope her core aspect is, like you said, love. I truly believe they can experiment so much with her character, for example make her a lonely hedgehog just like movie Sonic was, but she had no one to care for her, no friends, so seeing Sonic for the first time would def make her really excited thus giving her a passion. Plus if she had that talk with Shadow, he'd prob be so confused as to why someone who wasnt lived by anyone in this universe cares so much about someone that everyone looks at and says "yep, you're an enemy". The thing I love about Amy is that she doesnt see people for what they did but as just people like her Second, really proud of not only your channel growing but also for finding it. Trully a hidden gem. I think that the editing is really important but tbh the content of these videos caught my attention more
i really hope she’s in Sonic Movie 3. if not it’s fine either way, i’ll still get my girl in the games. and thank you for your kind words. i love making these kinds of videos!
Bless more people speaking up!!!! It warms my heart! ❤ Amy is important and the world is not the same in the series without her. Love is important! Another thing is in SA2, if Amy didn't come early to Prison Island, Sonic wouldn't have the lead on Shadow and thus wouldn't have left to find him, and thus they don't find out the islands blows up and they all die
@JakeThehedgehog-m1x ..I hope you're not cyberstalking me... I have my criticisms of Frontiers Amy. I don't see how this warrants planting all that baggage on me and putting all this antagonism on me out of nowhere because I said Amy is important and people underplay or underate her importance in games like SA2. I think this says more about you and your own baggage if I am being honest.
@@ChaddyFantome cyberstalking!? Dude I just found you and your comments about Amy's topic at random it's not like I'm a hacker or anything please...this is a waste of time! If I do this I'm not that crazy.
I comment this on every pro-Amy Rose video I see: Amy Rose is my favorite fictional character of all time. She's the reason I got into the sonic franchise...and she's the reason I stayed. I love that she's this embodiment of love and wears her heart on her sleeve. She's passionate and she can see the good in others even when they don't (i.e. Gamma and Shadow). She's actually have been positive influence on me in how I show kindness and compassion towards others. I love that she's a character that's full of emotion and those emotions are on full display (she can be happy, sad, angry, lovestruck etc.) Something I always felt the other characters lacked, like they can never fully emote the way Amy does. Most characters in her archetype would usually be secretive towards the character they love, but I've always admired how Amy was just open and honest about her feelings and was just unapologetically herself. I don't know what other word I could use to describe it, but it felt very 'impactful' or 'inspirational'. Sonic may be the main character and the spirit of the franchise... but Amy was always the heart for me. She's a good female character in my opinion: She's feminine, she's strong ,she's flawed, but there's so many good traits to her that I wish the fanbase would realize. Sometimes it's hard to be a Amy Rose fan...not because of the character, but the writers. These damn writers don't know what to do with her/how to portray her. And that makes me upset...I want that energetic girl full of love back. I don't want those parts toned down, because imo, those traits really define Amy. (I'll probably edit this comment if I have more to say). But in conclusion: Amy Rose is a character I absolutely adore, and I will continue to stand by and show my love for. It's just always nice to see videos like these regarding the character, because I love finding and hearing about other who love her just as much! ❤️
compassion isn't just one of the greatest traits that women exemplify , but also a trait that humanity as a whole needs to thrive. and being that the sonic cast is so diverse with each character arguably representing a unique virtue , amy fits in greatly as the symbol of love. if you think about it , amy is probably the more rational character since she was able to solve a lot of problems simply by talking it out , compared to team sonic who would (mostly) just fight evil. although sonic does show compassion in sonic and the black knight , to which amy rewards him for and also sonic unleashed where despite the earth being shattered he still opted to help chip find his memory. (maybe he learnt that from amy...) regardless , i'm not a fan of her losing her uniquely defining femininity in recent entries like frontiers (where she is stated to be over sonic) and how her character has just become a female sonic. i'd like to hear your thoughts
Cool Video! Amy Rose's 🌹 Nintendo Counterpart is Princess Agitha, who we meet in Twilight Princess, and Amy is even in Sonic Unleashed, which is Sonic's version of Twilight Princess.
People just talking about things in Sonic they really like is genuinely one of my favourite sub-genre of videos. Subbed, best of luck with your channel.
yes yes yes yes YES!!! i've said this on my tumblr, and it is SO NICE to see someone else who recognizes just how freaking important amy is to the growth of the other characters and the many of the core themes of the franchise. i love amy- she's my favorite sonic character and one of my favorite characters from ANYTHING- and it makes me really happy to see her getting more love over the past several years.
This is such a good video, thank you so much for making this. It's a very nice breath of fresh air to come at everything so genuinely and without the need to put Amy down with dumb jokes or sarcastic comments. So thank you for that ❤❤
Amy is great and I am looking forward to seeing more from her in the future. Amy does bring a lot and I do find others genuinely look her over and insultingly just say she is just the girl character. God forbid a female character be unabashedly feminine. I love that she is head over heels for Sonic and is clearly a go getter. She takes off on adventures to find Sonic and that lead to crossing the globe. She such great traits in her own right, like mentioned in the video, being a leader. I think of the music for the Amy's Room stage in Sonic Battle and it displays a character full of energy, love and a bit of a mischief maker.
My friend who plays a lot of Sonic, isn't a fan of Amy, but I truly love and appreciate her, she's a special gem that is as pivotal to the series as you say.
This is my first video I found of this channel and I'm instantly subscribing because I just love it when people ramble about Sonic characters or just Sonic in general because they are a big fan!
thank you so much for making a video on amy!! commenting this at the start of the video, and im hoping to learn so much more about her because shes such an amazing character.
For a while, I hadn't really understood Amy's character other than being very obsessed with Sonic. Your video and Frontier's presentation of Amy have enlightened me quite a lot on her as a person. She's now a character I look forward to seeing more of, especially with Shadow (Shadamy is a peak ship btw)
Amy is my favourite Sonic character and I feel she is criminally underrated, both in the games and by the fans. Videos like this are needed to show why Amy herself is needed.
3:44 She DID bust Sonic out of jail, don't forget that. Without that, he would probably have been blown up with Prison Island unless he breaks himself out. 6:35 Correction: EXTRA ruined future. 16:06 Not related to the conversation at hand, but I _hate_ that run cycle for Amy. It doesn't fit her proportions and makes her look waaay too goofy and wobbly.
im all for a amy appreciation vidieo :))) recently after seeing the third movie trailer my sonic obsession has been reignited and I'm so happy because sonic was the first game I ever played the first thing I think I became a fan of
There was something about the way Amy was portrayed in Frontiers that completely changed my view of her forever. It was only making her act more mature and restrained compared to previous games, but this somehow opened my mind to just how important she was in all the older games. I know Sega will never allow this to happen in the games, comics, movies, etc., but Amy's recent maturity and Sonic seemingly showing even more respect for her in response...it could suggest that SonAmy is not only plausible, it's inevitable.
oh you’re right! i forgot about 3d Blast. i was just focused on his story in SA1 so i didn’t even factor that in. but either way maybe the threat of a water god would distract him too much to be focused on a Flicky. but very good point!
Yes, this video is wonderful and shows how important Amy has always been to the franchise and that Sega will do the best for her from now on, I would like her to have her own game in which she has a Solo Adventure or with Cream.
the idea behind my name was my birth month being in February. Valentine’s Day month! and i have a huge sweet tooth as well. i guess it all comes full circle 💜
True we suprisingly seeing some attentions for this character from Sega now we are the point Sega hiring a lore team for sonic hedgehog this... explains it.

if there are any points i missed, please comment and share your thoughts! i’d love to hear some Amy love 💜
Amy Rose is definitely a very important character especially when she's able to redeem Gamma, Shadow, and Silver with her words. Plus she even stands up to Sonic when he's about to attack Gamma and I love that she's very protective of others as well.😁👍🏻
she needs to be in the third movie so she can redeem shadow like she did in adventure 2
@@stacyward6653 i agree
Hey, can you please link the shadow and Amy lines?
I beg of you please make a video about sonic please we need a breakdown of our blue boy
In the original Teen Titans show, there was an episode where Starfire time traveled to a time where the Titans disbanded after her disappearance because they didn't realize she was the emotional core of the group and I imagine it would play out similarly in the Sonic universe if Amy just suddenly disappeared. Also I didn't notice SA2 would be the last story in the series if it wasn't for Amy since Shadow would've succeeded in his mission of destroying the world otherwise.
That episode was a perfect representation
Oh don't make me bring up "Same as it Never Was" from TMNT 2k3. When Donnie gets sent into the future, the turtles fall apart because he was the one who kept them together. It ends with EVERYONE dead.
@@crest2x4 I remember that episode. It was The Last Ronin, before The Last Ronin was a thing.
That's a great comparison. Even though Starfire is a badass in the battlefield, but as a friend she shows love and support for her teammates. Amy is the same way.
That shit was really the bad future of teen titans, memories hit hard their
I would argue even as Amy admires Sonic, she doesn’t blindly idolize him either. The fact she stands up for Gamma in Adventures is exactly proof of that.
There are a lot of other instances where she calls out Sonic’s mistakes, too. The main one off the top of my head is when When Sonic attacks Eggman without even recognizing she was there in Riders. Regardless of how she’s written in that game, she has every right to be mad! That isn’t just because she knows she deserves better treatment than that as his friend (He could have caused her to get pretty beat up), but also because she knows one of Sonic’s flaws is that he focuses on the bigger picture and doesn’t often pay attention to smaller, but very essential details. Whenever she *does* call him out, it’s because she knows Sonic can be/is usually better than however he’s currently acting.
With the flicky arc in Adventures- if Sonic wasn’t already focused on figuring out Chaos’s whole deal, he probably *would* have helped her find the flicky’s family- but he (understandably) thought the eldritch water-thing that was doing heavy damage wherever it went took more priority.
Sonic is a hero who usually takes on the big/prime opposition, whereas Amy is a hero who helps out others in smaller, but just as important ways that connect together to a larger situation.
All of this being said, wonderful video/analysis!! Amy’s always been one of my absolute favorite Sonic characters, and I love whenever fans recognize and appreciate how much heart she brings to the series.
Yes, you hit on my take on Amy as well! People say that Amy has been turned into just a female Sonic but it feels like there's no nuance in that opinion. Sonic is a big-picture hero who stops the calamity and saves the day, and Amy is a small-picture hero who helps each individual personally. In that way, they act as a compliment and foil to each other - Sonic reminds Amy that without tackling the main issue, everything she does for everyone else is for nothing, and Amy reminds Sonic that the world he's trying to save is made up of individual people with their own lives, and it's no good to save the entire world but in doing so abandon its people to their misery.
I particularly like how they specifically call each other out for this in Frontiers too!
@@stratosphericaI was just starting to think of this when reading OP's comment!! This sort of dynamic between Amy & Sonic even gives credence to that one line in My Sweet Passion:
🎶 _You probably need me just as much as I need you / I honestly need you just as much as you need me_ 🎶
YES! Finally someone says it!
Wow you made such a great point! Even in Sonic Frontiers he’s so focused on just saving Amy and Tails, him and Amy get into an argument because Amy is telling him he should be focused on saving EVERYONE that needs help.
Had Amy not paid attention to the Koco and their stories, the group would’ve never understood their culture and even how to defeat the biggest villain in the game.
These are all great comments in this thread so I'm saving a place here haha ^
Amy doesn’t always fight to solve problems like the others, she uses her heart. Her love isn’t just for Sonic, but everyone. No one else in any of the forms of Sonic media can carry both the compassion and determination that Amy has. Someone sweet yet strong, passionate yet gentle. There is no one who can replace Amy Rose. 💖🌹
You do such a great job on these videos!
I feel as though people undermine Amy’s character “she’s just obsessive and weird” I think she just has a school girl crush but she’s still strong and tries her hardest to be independent in fact her crush on Sonic has done a LOT for a lot of people in the series for having so much compassion. She helped SHADOW FOR GODSAKE! The only one who actually saw him as a person and if it wasn’t for her as you said there would be NOTHING ! I feel like people don’t really acknowledge how much she has helped even in the smallest way turned into something big. If it wasn’t for her love and strongheadedness we would not have the majority of characters or timeline we have without her!
Exactly you said everything I also think and feel about Amy I always loved Amy she was always my favorite character and she is very underappreciated I will say she does get a bit more love now but people still are very disrespectful to Amy
they’ll never make me hate you amy rose
She’s the heart of the gang, plain and simple. You can have arguments and debates around her writing and portrayals over the years and you’re allow to have whatever opinions you have but one thing that can’t be denied is that Amy has the biggest heart of the group.
I masterbate looking at Amy rose pictures and i love it
FINALLY, Someone who doesn't trash talk Amy
Lol, it's kinda funny with the Shadow profile pic. Is that Shadow from Sonic Prime?
If Amy wasn't there, we would need Chris Thorndike to remind Shadow of his past in order for the rest of the series to continue.
And that is a timeline I don't want to live in.
Yes, this is a dig at Sonic X. lol
I hate Chris
@@Kartosn9Everybody hates Chris
This isnt even the only time Amy's role in SA2 was replaced by someone else. They also replace her in the Archie run. Ugh
@@detectivemememachin5011 true tbh
I just love how she's written tbh, like she isn't this Hollywood Disney Princess or Princess Peach in the Mario movie. She's girly and she's flawed, but she's determined, full of love and compassion for all. Yeah, she was always written with puppy love for Sonic, massive crush and all. But she is, who she is. Amy grows, because of her love for Sonic, she learns from him to grow and pass what Sonic stands for onto others.
I like how Amy is unapologetically feminine. It feels like people just aren't allowed to portray female characters as "girly" these days... They always have to be "strong-independent women who need no man" or something, even though one of the strongest traits a woman (or anyone for that matter) can have is compassion and love.
Yeah
I agree women are just as capable as a man is, while also being weaker in certain categories. Women CAN be strong without a man, it just depends on the woman, kinda like Sarah Conner or Lara Croft. But there are also women who need help from both men and women it just depends on the character and how they are presented.
Amy proves that being a independent woman character can work because she's both,she's feminine and strong,if Sonic dosent want to do something she will argue why he should or Amy will do it herself for example
@@cruzuballe8110Exactly!! You are so awesome! 👏 🎉
@@thepinkwizard7225 thank you .
Amy bonds with sonic over their love for adventure and speed, amy and tails have neen ESTABLISHED to be best friends with eachother, and amy and knuckles have the connection of being really powerful hitters with strong personalities, she has special connections with all of team sonic, and is probably the one to bring them all togsther sometimes.
I really hope Amy is in sonic movie 3. it would be so disappointing and such a missed opportunity to not have her in it. She's such a important character to the franchise (specially for shadow's arc) and since they want to keep building these movies to become more huge, Amy is just a guaranteed character to put in there. It doesn't look like she will be in it so far, but i pray that she does. In my opinion, she should have been introduced in 2 alongside tails and knuckles, but maybe that's just me
Yeah ummmmmmm...
It is not a coincidence that Team Dark and Team Rose never fight each other or interact in Sonic Heroes… it’d be devastating for someone as loving and kind as Amy.
Not only would Amy be fighting someone she once helped with their trauma that lost their memory and therefore wouldn’t remember her, but she’d also be fighting an E-Series robot that wasn’t her old friend Gamma… or at least mistaking Omega for him: Omega is a fucking death machine and is blind to the idea of compassion.
Interesting point you make about Sonic and Amy's personalities complimenting each other.
SEGA's creators have stated that Sonic is written with the heart of a boy, explaining his love for adventure and not wanting to be tied down.
If we assume that Amy was written with the heart of a girl, everything clicks into place. Even Amy's love of tarot cards reflects this, with girls in Japan at the time being obsessed with magical things like this at the time. While Amy boldly wanting to marry Sonic can be seen as problematic, once we see her as an innocent-minded young girl, it becomes more benign, silly, and makes sense in context. I believe this sentiment, alongside her unapologetic love and compassion for others, is at her core, just as Sonic's "young boy" nature is at his core.
0:01 I think you mean... The per'sonic'fication
Probably unintentional but I love that you say "and non sentient beings" and the camera pans to Chocola LMAO
That's just how powerful Amy's Love is for anyone she comes around with oh and can you do cream next not just about who she is as a character but her being the youngest of the sonic cast and she does represent that childlike innocence that hasn't been tainted by the world and I know this is just my opinion but cream is pretty cute though I do love the sister dynamic between Amy and cream like sonic does with tails that is something I wish to see more from Amy and if cream will ever make another appearance again
no thoughts, just chocola
i used to think it was obsession. But i was proven wrong, she goes beyond it and it comes back to genuine love. She really is the heart of the team
I masterbate looking at Amy rose pictures and i love it
Never would have thought about it that way with Amy Rose, but yeah she deserves more love and respect
I am in love with this title, because that's how I always seen her: the personification of love. I love Amy Rose with all my heart
Amy is the one who convinced E-102 Gamma to rebel against Eggman She the one who convinced Shadow to keep his promise to Maria and helped Sonic defeat the Bio Lizard She the one who stop Silver from killing Sonic She was one of the Rebel Leaders in Forces She understood the Koco and worried about Sonic corruption she should respect
There is a lot, and I mean A LOT, I love about Amy and when it comes to love, she's a whole believer of it. People constantly ignore or make up excuses as to how certain events can play out the same without Amy, but honestly? No, her small compassionate feats move greater mountains, it's her love that pushes people to be better and to see the light inside all the darkness. Nobody would be able to talk to Shadow the same way Amy did, she didn't just beg him to do the right thing, she made him understand that there is good in the world, see can see the good in the ugly (she's an optimist, obviously) and that's what makes Shadow remember.
Amy's love isn't just romantical, her love extends to everything and everybody, she's the heart of the team as much as she can be a gremlin like them. I don't like how Frontiers treats Amy's love as something she exclusively saved for Sonic before the "big ass revelation that will finally set the character straight", not only is it vague as hell as to what is she going to do, but she's always spread her love in many ways, whether it be helping a family of Flickies or talking to the Ultimate Lifeform, she always did that.
I think if Amy never encountered Sonic on Little Planet, her life would just be endless boredom for her, not knowing what's her missing piece and not figuring out what she can do about it. Consulting the cards doesn't work, and she might be a victim of the ARK just as everybody on Earth. Amy loves adventure as well, and through them is how she spreads her love, she doesn't avoid adventures, she chases them like she does to Sonic.
Ngl, Amy could have her own game alongside Cream. I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t happened yet. She’s the main girl character in the verse, and Cream is basically her Tails, so it just makes sense for her to have her own game. (Or for any of the characters not named Sonic or Shadow to get their own games. I demand we get a Silver game!)
Are amy and cream even close? Beyond sonic heroes where it was necessary or just writing.
@@Markus2E5I6 they were shown to be very close in the Archie and IDW comics. The latter of which is cannon (unfortunately)
@@corbangonzalez4935idw is good tf you talking about
@@thymecrafter I’m oh saying it’s bad, I’m saying it’s bad that it’s cannon because it will always have he restriction of never being able to differ from the games or step on their toes.
She can get over-the-top and just straight up plain cheesy at times but I do appreciate the 'love' aspect about Amy's character. It's not just love that's about her character though, it'd be more accurate to say she's the 'soul' of the Sonic cast, since it also covers her peppy attitude, compassion for everything around her, the determination to help out her friends and of course, her heart for Sonic.
Also you made me appreciate Amy in Frontiers more now. She felt too laid back to me personally but now I am having second thoughts
if amy is not in sonic 3 im gonna riot
well december 20th 1994 has something to tell you
Start grabbing your pitch forks my friend.
Wait wait, Sonic Origins Plus lol
This video literally explains why I love Amy (and shadamy surprisingly). Also, when you were talking about her color pallete, I started wondering what her eyes could mean.
Some people see her eyes as blue, which is also a pure and calm color but soemtimes its associated with freedom. Others see green which can be seen as a mark to continue and not to give up. And the gold/yellow can represent joy, freedom, and peace.
Her eyes being green makes me think of spring and flowers!
let’s go shadamy supporter
Perhaps, a tendency towards envy?
If anyone wants a well written Amy, read IDW. Seriously.
All the problems she had have been resolved and her most remarkable personality traits are still there:
- She steps up when needed (they even prove her leadership skills on the firsts arcs)
- She's still the cutest and bubbliest (you can see how much she loves Cream and takes care of her)
- Her crush on Sonic is not the 95% of her character. Also they hang out as friends sometimes and it's super nice to see Amy being happy with him, not just obsessed, and Sonic loving having her around, not escaping everytime he sees her.
- She's super strong, both physically and mentally
- I feel she exists ny herself, not just "Sonic's cheerleader". And it's so nice to see her relationships with other characters, like Cream, Lanolin, Surge... An don't get me started with Knuckles. That duo is the best.
When I was a child, I just hated her. She was just "annoying girl with a crush on the protag", at least in Sonic X. And Sonic didn't have that many female characters and all of them were super girly. It's fine, but as a tomboy I felt so left out. It was the late 90s/2000s, everything was like girl = pink, boy = blue. And Amy annoyed me so much.
Now? I love her. I'm playing Battle right now and OH MY GOD how much she has grown from Battle (also her skills descriptions, oh my god...) But her current depiction in IDW? I love her, I would love to be around her. Also congratulations on Prime, the Amys ended up being my favorite part of the show
That's what I've been saying!!! I know so many people demote Amy down to being a stalker, or just a girl with a bad temper. But NO WAY, she's a multi leveled character, and one of the best in the series. I'm so glad that so many people are starting to notice who she is, and not just assuming who she is anymore. By the way, another great video! I really enjoyed this one as a forever Amy Stan. XD
I masterbate looking at Amy rose pictures and i love it
in the official timeline sonic cd is before sonic 2 so amy is sonics first friend
Yeah everyone forgets this
Amy is the Heart of the Team
Blaze is the Sol of the Team
Historically, I was never the biggest Amy fan, but I've come to appreciate her a lot more. I love how quick she is to show compassion towards Gamma and stand up for him. Gamma didn't get to live long, sadly, so I'm happy he could meet Amy.
*technically* when elise dies, the flames are immediately released. so on top of the ark colliding with earth, iblis would be unleashed as well. speaking of unleashed, the ark's collision with the planet would release light and dark gaia. since early awakening messes with chip's memory, he wouldn't be able to put the world back together, and would likely die/flee from the planet if possible. also, with sonic dead, erazor djinn would successfully break free from the grasps of the story and invade earth. (as best as he could. iblis or gaia would probably kill him lol.) i forget some of frontiers' story, but i think destroying the titans frees the end from cyberspace. so now there'd be a moon-sized demigod to worry about as well. i think iblis would take care of gaia no problem, but the end might not be too effective against iblis, and would probably just roam space, trying to find some other world to torment. if we include superstars in this too, i think the only repercussion of not having amy would be that trip never finds the courage to open herself up and make a friend, leaving her a loner. truly the worst possible thing to come from this.
TL;DR AMY IS OUR SAVIOR AND WE LOVE HER
very good points. either way without her the timeline is so broken!
What I love about Amy and Sonic’s friendship/relationship is that she is not only fulfilling her role as the heart of the team, but she shares her love with Sonic by teaching him how to be more considerate and passionate to the more minor problems others are facing and in doing this, she is teaching Sonic to be a better hero.
This has been shown from examples like Adventure 1 with her telling Sonic to help the flicky find its family and to not destroy Gamma all throughout the series to the current game title of Frontiers when she tells Sonic to help the Koco find its lost love, to him, as we saw in the cutscenes, it was all a waste of time, it clearly matters to Sonic, but his big focus is to find and rescue Amy, Knuckles, and Tails, and we see her call him out on his crap by challenging him in his logic.
It’s all very subtle, but we can clearly see throughout all the series from Adventure 1 to the current Frontiers game, that Sonic started out as brash, wreckless, and focused on bigger priorities, not wanting to go and help others in need on the side. But Amy teaches Sonic to do this more often throughout the game series and we even see her impacts shine through Sonic as we play through the games, mostly when he tends to stop and help others in need on the side that aren’t or are connected to his main goal. He clearly is impatient sometimes with some of the things he does, but he does them anyways as her influence has taught him, ‘treat others as you would want to be treated’ or more like ‘help others in need the same way you’d want to be helped’.
Like I said, in doing this, she is teaching Sonic to be a better person/hero than he was before.
Amy has always been an important character of the Sonic series. People need to realize that without amy things wouldn't be the same. It's just like with Starfire from teen titans she's the glue that kept the titans together just like amy is with the main sonic cast
I honestly want Amy to get her own game, where she does go on an adventure. Sonic and the others can show up as supporting characters for her.
I haven't watched this vid yet but I found u literally last night from your silvaze video and now you're respecting amy???? We're seeing the start of one of the best sonic-tubers, yall
omg thank you for coming back! i’m so happy you’re enjoying my thoughts and contenttt
All this to say, i love amy ❤️🩷 she doesn’t deserve the hate she gets. People water down her beloved character to “an obsessed sonic fan girl” when there’s so much more than that
amazing video! love to see the amy stans (she deserves everything she is perfect)
though I wonder, how do you usually come up with your video ideas?
Amy is my second favorite character too! (Number one is Shadow) Ever since I have become a Sonic fan I've loved Amy I thought her love she showed to others and the way she was unapologetically herself was inspiring, Amy to me was a hero in her own right but others sadly don't see her that way and are not giving her any respect saying that she's a obsessive fan girl... So it made me really happy you made a video about her, showing how important she is and giving her the respect she deserves! Hoping this video reaches many other Sonic fans.
I wish we could customize her outfit in one of the games. I'm thinking a blue denim jacket, a boy band shirt, a belted denim skirt, and black converse sneakers. As a playable character, I think it would suit her heavy melee style.
God you summed up Amy so well, even ways that I couldn’t even explain! This is actually insane.
YOU BLEW MY MIND OMG I didn’t realize how game breaking Amy was until your video. Wow.
Amy’s inception in CD, I think at least, was to make Sonic look cooler. Probably to further distance him from Mario in the 90s. The Japanese art for CD always had Sonic looking unfazed by Amy’s presence and her unapologetically fawning over him. Amy of course evolved passed her initial stance in CD, mostly in Adventure, but it’s cool to see how Sonic Team took an essentially typical troupe and at least tried something with it.
this is such a love letter to one of my favourite characters thank you!!! such a beautiful breakdown!
Amy Rose is my spirit animal, she has always been since I was very young. 💕
tbh with all the Amy talks that have been happening on twitter, i really forgot who Amy is, this video really helped me remember. thanks !
just wanted to throw my hat in the ring! i love Amy so so much 💜
Seeing amy get this respect for her character, a deep dive into her heart and willingness to forgive and her passion and love is super important, you did a great job here! She is also one of my favorites for a lot of these same reasons. Growing up she was a very big inspiration and seeing the compassion she gives to even robots is amazing. It always felt super important that she was there to balance out Sonic’s ready to fight attitude. They really balance each other out a lot and it is very good!
Every true sonic fan knows Amy's impact on everyone she meets. Great video.
Also I want to say, in the idw( comics, mostly written by Ian who writes the games now. )The person after him is Evan, she writes Amy and all the female characters one of the best in my opinion.
I masterbate looking at Amy rose pictures and i love it
I like how these characters are so important to the series and actually matter to it
If Sonic didn't existed, Tails would still be really insecure and suffer with bullying, Knuckles would still be alone on his own, Eggman would probably have took over the world, Amy would've be kidnapped or wouldn't be relevant at all being just another victim under Eggman Empire like all the other civillians in Sonic's World, Shadow would've never have been released because Eggman wouldn't need to relase it as one of his ways to conquer the world, he already would have the world, Eggman would probably start conquering other planets, use the Wisps as slaves to get their energy, he would have the world on the palm of his hands and the characters would not evolve in their own because Sonic was the start to all their developments, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and the others
If Tails didn't existed, Station Square would be gone, Sonic would be gone in SA2, the world would've all its life sucked out of it in Lost World with no one to stop it since Tails was the one who could manage the machine after Eggman revealed to be all according to his plan, Eggman would once again have the world on his hands and all Sonic would be able to do is fight him without actually being able to stop his machine
If Knuckles didn't existed, the Master Emerald would be unguarded, Eggman would probably be able to conquer the world in Sonic 3 & Knuckles without Knuckles to help Sonic & Tails, Eggman would have the power of the Master Emerald in the Death Egg, Angel Island would just be an island floating in the ocean and once again the Eggman Empire would rule around the world just like the last 2 cases
If Amy didn't exist, as you pointed out, the world would be gone in SA2, everything would cease to exist and humanity would be dead
And the list goes on, without Silver the future in 200 years would probably be ruined by Eggman's actions, or Eggman Nega would be able to destroy everything on his own, without Blaze the Sol Dimension would probably be doomed thanks to Eggman, Eggman Nega or Captain Whiskers, without Shadow, Black Doom would take over the world, Sonic would be dead in 06, Solaris would probably take over the entire timeline, etc.
If eggman didn't exist that happy joy and a good thing
I haven't seen the video yet, but I always love Amy no matter what. I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, Amy is to Sonic what Minnie Mouse is to Mickey Mouse.

Yes Amy is important. Actually I think it's long overdue for Sega to make her own game. Maybe feature all the female cast with Amy as the main character like Rouge Blaze and Cream. Just a thought!!!
love is important for many reasons
You summed up pretty much everything that makes Amy Rose my favorite Sonic character! I just found your channel a couple of days ago, but I'm loving the passion you have about this franchise and it's characters. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of your content!
I never thought much of Amy besides that. I thought she was funny as a kid but I am glad I get to know why so many love her
Amy Rose is my favorite Sonic Character and she's a very important character especially when she's the heart of the group. Sure, her love for Sonic is a bit extreme but she does care for everyone else as well and she deserves to help out and fight the bad guys with her Piko Piko Hammer. I honestly want to give Amy Rose a hug right now.😊💕
Finding this video was an unexpected surprise, but as an Amy stan ever since I played SA2 multiplayer (she's SO BROKEN) I agree with this so much. I especially agree with your views on her direction going forward. I think her still being in love with Sonic doesn't stop her from having development elsewhere and showing love for others, and the world. I felt her story in Frontiers was about her rethinking her lifestyle and future (also a big theme for Tails and Knuckles there), trying to live like Sonic does and seeing if that's what she wants. She can find her own adventures instead of just following him on his, but that doesn't mean she stops loving him. Amy's crush on Sonic is only a bad thing when writers make her entire character one big joke about it (Battle, some parts of X, the boss fight in Heroes).
We'll have to see how things go from here, but I'm personally okay with Amy's lack of bubbly energy in Frontiers because it's a more serious situation that brings out the morose in everyone. The Murder of Sonic is by FAR my favourite recent take on Amy, but sadly it's apparently not canon. IDW has a good take on her too.
While I don't think the 3rd movie will be ruined if she's not in it (I wanted Rouge in the Knuckles series but wasn't mad she wasn't), I really want to see her in the movie-verse because of how she'd play off Movie Sonic. You say they "match eachother's energy" here, but Movie Sonic is much more hyper, emotional and innocent than Game Sonic and I wonder how that'd affect their dynamic. At the same time, I worry they'd "over-correct" to appease her detractors, since some people who haven't kept up with modern Sonic media still think she's a one-dimensional fangirl.
This is probably my favorite amy analysis video ever no joke you really nailed it , thanks
this shi made me cry ive adored amy ever since i was like 5 years old (im 20 now) and its so heartwarming to see people truly appreciate her
I love Amy. She is an awesome character.
This might be a dumb joke, but there might be an alternate universe where Amy was a seal. Because in this one, she’s the one who kisses Sonic awake in 06. Like a “kiss from a rose on the grey.” 😂🤦🏼♂️😂🤦🏼♂️😂🤦🏼♂️😂🤦🏼♂️
First of all, pretty nice analysis of Amy as a character
If she's part of the new movie, I hope her core aspect is, like you said, love. I truly believe they can experiment so much with her character, for example make her a lonely hedgehog just like movie Sonic was, but she had no one to care for her, no friends, so seeing Sonic for the first time would def make her really excited thus giving her a passion. Plus if she had that talk with Shadow, he'd prob be so confused as to why someone who wasnt lived by anyone in this universe cares so much about someone that everyone looks at and says "yep, you're an enemy". The thing I love about Amy is that she doesnt see people for what they did but as just people like her
Second, really proud of not only your channel growing but also for finding it. Trully a hidden gem. I think that the editing is really important but tbh the content of these videos caught my attention more
i really hope she’s in Sonic Movie 3. if not it’s fine either way, i’ll still get my girl in the games. and thank you for your kind words. i love making these kinds of videos!
Amy is one of my top favorite Sonic characters! Thank you for this lovely video in defense of her! ❤
Bless more people speaking up!!!! It warms my heart! ❤ Amy is important and the world is not the same in the series without her. Love is important!
Another thing is in SA2, if Amy didn't come early to Prison Island, Sonic wouldn't have the lead on Shadow and thus wouldn't have left to find him, and thus they don't find out the islands blows up and they all die
this is unrelated but omg cardcaptor sakura pfp !!

I don't see how this warrants planting all that baggage on me and putting all this antagonism on me out of nowhere because I said Amy is important and people underplay or underate her importance in games like SA2.
I think this says more about you and your own baggage if I am being honest.
@@ChaddyFantome cyberstalking!? Dude I just found you and your comments about Amy's topic at random it's not like I'm a hacker or anything please...this is a waste of time! If I do this I'm not that crazy.
I really hope Amy appears in the Sonic 3 movie now more than ever. Also, I didn't know her name meant “beloved.” That is beautiful!
I seriously hope she shows up in the movies at some point.
I comment this on every pro-Amy Rose video I see:
Amy Rose is my favorite fictional character of all time. She's the reason I got into the sonic franchise...and she's the reason I stayed.
I love that she's this embodiment of love and wears her heart on her sleeve. She's passionate and she can see the good in others even when they don't (i.e. Gamma and Shadow). She's actually have been positive influence on me in how I show kindness and compassion towards others. I love that she's a character that's full of emotion and those emotions are on full display (she can be happy, sad, angry, lovestruck etc.) Something I always felt the other characters lacked, like they can never fully emote the way Amy does. Most characters in her archetype would usually be secretive towards the character they love, but I've always admired how Amy was just open and honest about her feelings and was just unapologetically herself. I don't know what other word I could use to describe it, but it felt very 'impactful' or 'inspirational'.
Sonic may be the main character and the spirit of the franchise... but Amy was always the heart for me.
She's a good female character in my opinion: She's feminine, she's strong ,she's flawed, but there's so many good traits to her that I wish the fanbase would realize.
Sometimes it's hard to be a Amy Rose fan...not because of the character, but the writers. These damn writers don't know what to do with her/how to portray her. And that makes me upset...I want that energetic girl full of love back. I don't want those parts toned down, because imo, those traits really define Amy.
(I'll probably edit this comment if I have more to say).
But in conclusion: Amy Rose is a character I absolutely adore, and I will continue to stand by and show my love for.
It's just always nice to see videos like these regarding the character, because I love finding and hearing about other who love her just as much! ❤️
compassion isn't just one of the greatest traits that women exemplify , but also a trait that humanity as a whole needs to thrive. and being that the sonic cast is so diverse with each character arguably representing a unique virtue , amy fits in greatly as the symbol of love. if you think about it , amy is probably the more rational character since she was able to solve a lot of problems simply by talking it out , compared to team sonic who would (mostly) just fight evil. although sonic does show compassion in sonic and the black knight , to which amy rewards him for and also sonic unleashed where despite the earth being shattered he still opted to help chip find his memory. (maybe he learnt that from amy...)
regardless , i'm not a fan of her losing her uniquely defining femininity in recent entries like frontiers (where she is stated to be over sonic) and how her character has just become a female sonic. i'd like to hear your thoughts
Amy is my favorite female sonic character, and so far none other take that place unlike the favorite male sonic character
Cool Video! Amy Rose's 🌹 Nintendo Counterpart is Princess Agitha, who we meet in Twilight Princess, and Amy is even in Sonic Unleashed, which is Sonic's version of Twilight Princess.
People just talking about things in Sonic they really like is genuinely one of my favourite sub-genre of videos. Subbed, best of luck with your channel.
I just adore Amy! This video made me really happy 😊
yes yes yes yes YES!!! i've said this on my tumblr, and it is SO NICE to see someone else who recognizes just how freaking important amy is to the growth of the other characters and the many of the core themes of the franchise. i love amy- she's my favorite sonic character and one of my favorite characters from ANYTHING- and it makes me really happy to see her getting more love over the past several years.
She was the catalyst of my sonic phase. Honestly, she needs more love. :)
This is such a good video, thank you so much for making this. It's a very nice breath of fresh air to come at everything so genuinely and without the need to put Amy down with dumb jokes or sarcastic comments. So thank you for that ❤❤
you mean the HEDGEHOGIFICATION of love 🦔♥
Amy rose is my favorite sonic character 💗💗
Amy is great and I am looking forward to seeing more from her in the future. Amy does bring a lot and I do find others genuinely look her over and insultingly just say she is just the girl character. God forbid a female character be unabashedly feminine. I love that she is head over heels for Sonic and is clearly a go getter. She takes off on adventures to find Sonic and that lead to crossing the globe. She such great traits in her own right, like mentioned in the video, being a leader.
I think of the music for the Amy's Room stage in Sonic Battle and it displays a character full of energy, love and a bit of a mischief maker.
I masterbate looking at Amy rose pictures and i love it
My friend who plays a lot of Sonic, isn't a fan of Amy, but I truly love and appreciate her, she's a special gem that is as pivotal to the series as you say.
This is my first video I found of this channel and I'm instantly subscribing because I just love it when people ramble about Sonic characters or just Sonic in general because they are a big fan!
thank you so much for making a video on amy!! commenting this at the start of the video, and im hoping to learn so much more about her because shes such an amazing character.
For a while, I hadn't really understood Amy's character other than being very obsessed with Sonic. Your video and Frontier's presentation of Amy have enlightened me quite a lot on her as a person. She's now a character I look forward to seeing more of, especially with Shadow (Shadamy is a peak ship btw)
This is a really well put together video! You brought up excellent points that slightly changed my perspective on Amy
Amy is my favourite Sonic character and I feel she is criminally underrated, both in the games and by the fans.
Videos like this are needed to show why Amy herself is needed.
3:44 She DID bust Sonic out of jail, don't forget that. Without that, he would probably have been blown up with Prison Island unless he breaks himself out.
6:35 Correction: EXTRA ruined future.
16:06 Not related to the conversation at hand, but I _hate_ that run cycle for Amy. It doesn't fit her proportions and makes her look waaay too goofy and wobbly.
good content
your voice is very pleasant
She needs to be in the movie universe I feel like the best way to introduce her would be to recreate the adventure 2 prison break
im all for a amy appreciation vidieo :))) recently after seeing the third movie trailer my sonic obsession has been reignited and I'm so happy because sonic was the first game I ever played the first thing I think I became a fan of
There was something about the way Amy was portrayed in Frontiers that completely changed my view of her forever. It was only making her act more mature and restrained compared to previous games, but this somehow opened my mind to just how important she was in all the older games.
I know Sega will never allow this to happen in the games, comics, movies, etc., but Amy's recent maturity and Sonic seemingly showing even more respect for her in response...it could suggest that SonAmy is not only plausible, it's inevitable.
2:10 - 2:25 3d blast and sonic unleashed debunks this
oh you’re right! i forgot about 3d Blast. i was just focused on his story in SA1 so i didn’t even factor that in. but either way maybe the threat of a water god would distract him too much to be focused on a Flicky. but very good point!
Love your videos been here since the silver one
this is one of the best videos about Sonic I've ever seen, how are you not one of the top Sonic RUclipsrs????
Yes, this video is wonderful and shows how important Amy has always been to the franchise and that Sega will do the best for her from now on, I would like her to have her own game in which she has a Solo Adventure or with Cream.
Is it Irony or conciendence this is about Amy Rose and Love, and youre name is ValentinesCookies and btw WHERES MY VALENTINES COOKIES?
the idea behind my name was my birth month being in February. Valentine’s Day month! and i have a huge sweet tooth as well. i guess it all comes full circle 💜
@@valentinescookies. I looked up and then I looked down, and you replied. BUT YOU DIDNT ANSWER MY QUESTION! 😔 Valentines' Cookies eludes me.
Your channel is growing very fast, and so is your video quality. I’m excited to witness this!
So her full name is Beloved Rose. How sweet.
I masterbate looking at Amy rose pictures and i love it
No Amy no planet
Sega doesn’t seem to see much in her until fronteirs
True we suprisingly seeing some attentions for this character from Sega now we are the point Sega hiring a lore team for sonic hedgehog this... explains it.
My favorite portrayal of Amy was in Sonic Frontiers and Sonic Adventure 2. Unfortunately i have not played the first one😢
