Sonic the Hedgehog[a] is a video game series and media franchise created by the Japanese developers Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, and Hirokazu Yasuhara for Sega. The franchise follows Sonic, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who battles the evil Doctor Eggman, a mad scientist. The main Sonic the Hedgehog games are platformers mostly developed by Sonic Team; other games, developed by various studios, include spin-offs in the racing, fighting, party and sports genres. The franchise also incorporates printed media, animations, feature films, and merchandise.
Naka, Ohshima, and Yasuhara developed the first Sonic game, released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis, to provide Sega with a mascot to compete with Nintendo's Mario. Its success helped Sega become one of the leading video game companies during the fourth generation of video game consoles in the early 1990s. Sega Technical Institute developed the next three Sonic games, plus the spin-off Sonic Spinball (1993). A number of Sonic games were also developed for Sega's 8-bit consoles, the Master System and Game Gear. After a hiatus during the unsuccessful Saturn era, the first major 3D Sonic game, Sonic Adventure, was released in 1998 for the Dreamcast. Sega exited the console market and shifted to third-party development in 2001, continuing the series on Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation systems. Takashi Iizuka has been the series' producer since 2010.
While Sonic games often have unique game mechanics and stories, they feature recurring elements such as the ring-based health system, level locales, and fast-paced gameplay. Games typically feature Sonic setting out to stop Eggman's schemes for world domination, and the player navigates levels that include springs, slopes, bottomless pits, and vertical loops. Later games added a large cast of characters; some, such as Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and Shadow the Hedgehog, have starred in spin-offs. The franchise has crossed over with other video game franchises in games such as Mario & Sonic, Sega All-Stars, and Super Smash Bros.
Sonic the Hedgehog is Sega's flagship franchise and one of the bestselling video game franchises, selling over 140 million units by 2016 and grossing over $5 billion as of 2014. Series sales and free-to-play mobile game downloads totaled 1.6 billion as of 2023. The Genesis Sonic games have been described as representative of the culture of the 1990s and listed among the greatest of all time. Although later games, notably the 2006 game, received poorer reviews, Sonic is influential in the video game industry and is frequently referenced in popular culture. The franchise is known for its fandom that produces unofficial media, such as fan art and fangames.

The one problem for me is that there were only seven episodes in the final season, when one could’ve been added showing the state of the Shatterverse without Sonic, and what exactly happened to the Paradox Prism, Shadow, and everyone else.
First episode of show was 2 episodes put together
They could’ve cut back on the fighting and have that happen which would solve two problems
Honestly Shadow’s mandates in this show makes me really nervous about him in the film. Can tell his screen time was a SEGA thing.
I wouldn't worry because being Hollywood, it seems the movie verse has a lot more freedom.
Already the first two movies did a lot of things that in any other media SEGA would have been against so by the virtue of being a way more separate brand from regular Sonic they'll be able to do their own take of Shadow
@@VikumaxI don't want too many movie sequels. 3 movies is enough. Too many movie sequels is usually a risk
@@MB-cb2heSonic is a heavily scrutinised franchise so I hope that the people who make the movies know to make it good at least
@@Vikumax I agree. For one thing, they had shown Knuckles' father in a flashback, even though they have a strict mandate against giving characters family members outside of mainline games.
If Shadow fans had their way, Shadow would be the main character of the franchise, not Sonic.
You forgot to mention why they were attacking Nine. It was never explained. At one point, Sonic and Mister Doctor Eggman tell everyone that Nine wasn't destroying their homes. It was the council's portals. Sonic talks with Nine and they agree that Sonic will provide the prism energy so Nine can fix everything. But before they could do anything, everyone else barged in to attack Nine for no reason. Even Sonic forgot why he was there and started fighting. I'm like, what happened? Did I have a stroke?
Literally that
When that moment happened in the episode, I was completely flabbergasted
I agree that Nine was in his right to think that Sonic Ambushed him, but to then have Sonic do a complete 180 was _weird_ to say the very least
All I can say is, after Nine said he hated Chili Dogs, the gloves were off for Sonic. 😆
And then the fight lasted like 4 episodes....
It was such a bore to watch through :/
Thank you! I was so confused! Sonic's like "There's no other way." Then his friends show up and he's like "Actually, let's fight," despite not knowing what to do if he wins.
@@spider59er35 maybe that 180 was weird, but Jesus Christ, did his friends (his OG friends) have to be such assholes about it? Goddamn 😤😒
Crazy how gemeral made a appearance on a sonic show before blaze and silver 🤣
Well he appeared on games before too
The green hill issue with this show could be the fact this show has been in the oven for a long time, and it was in the period of Sonic where green hill was taking over the Sonic franchise, I could be pulling random stuff out of my back side, so take everything I said with a grain of salt.
It seems more like a budget problem. The show has just so many locations. Any character thats not part of the main cast looks like a cheap Sonic Forces avatar
Well, to tell you this, Ian Flynn has made his tweets on Twitter once Sonic Prime is over, he stated that Sonic Prime takes place some time after Sonic Advance 3(Yes, I said Some time after, not directly after it), but that's not all. He follows up that this also covers Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors, given Orbot and Cubot's appearance.
Plus, Ian Flynn also said that he's not the one to choose to make Sonic Prime canon, and he was only a Story Consultant for the show itself.
Also, the man behind the show(kinda forgot his name) made a clarification about the whole missing episode 8th situation. He stated that Episode 1 in the First Season were supposedly 2 episodes put together in 1 Episode.
Also, that cliffhanger ending for Season 3 is always meant Sonic is off to his next adventure.
So Prime takes place after advance 3, but before unleashed and colors? Sorry I’m just confirming to be sure
@@gltchyyboy7787 I didn't say before Unleashed and Colors. Who gave you that thought?
@@boltthelunarian1405oh my fault, sorry I read that wrong
The Sonic Advance 3 flash back makes so many people angry not just because its bad, its because every single detail about it's construction is wrong. The clashing of assets, the shoddy animation quality, oh and Gemerl dies in the flashback. Its a flashback so terrible it left many confused as to whether or not it was actually a flashback.
That probably was the most entertaining part of prime 🤣
@@naitsabes6222 I was laughing my ass off the first time I watched it. Its so terrible it looped back around to being hilarious!
The only part for me that was a problem was that Gemerl didn’t escape like in the games. The looks for Sonic and Tails I can accept. As well as the inaccurate boss arena.
It was most likely retconned for the sake of Prime.
Prime is a different timeline after all.
imo the alternate versions of Tails (Sails and Mangey) were super underutilized... They kept teasing that they also had technological know-how like Nine did, but after a fake-out death all they did was fix the Big Robot to fight the grunt robots. I was really expecting the two parts of Tails to be the ones to finally get to Nine, representing the loyal and hopeful parts of Tails fighting back against the bleak darker side of himself.
Not to mention how little Shadow actually impacted the plot... That was dissapointing.
I like to call Sonic Prime season 3 "The Hedgehog: Battle of the Five Shatterspaces" because the hour long fight reminded me of that third Hobbit movie.
And did anyone else think that the truth about the bird in Rusty Rose's chest was a huge cop-out? What reason did the Council have to make her think she's powered by a bird?
I feel like for the next Sonic show, they really need to get a writer/director that knows how to tell episodic stories. Because honestly while i like sonic prime, it feels like it is supposed to be a movie expanded into 24 episodes. I feel like man of action could've used their episodic formula experience with ben 10 onto Sonic or something.
As for the next sonic show i would honestly love to see a continuation of sonic x, maybe as a mini series or a 90 minute film
@@jskywalker58 i'd say film! a movie special to celebrate some sort of anniversary for sonic x! so that the pacing doesn't become wacky trying to be both movie and tv show, and that the animation budget could be great!
Man of Action has made plenty of great episodic series. Obviously there were restrictions,with Sonic Prime. An 8 episode series dragged out to 24 episodes
I’m very befuddled that there isn’t much interactions at all between all the different versions of these characters , no one makes any comments about them fighting robot versions of themselves Except for rusty for only one scene , shadow has no interactions with anyone who isn’t sonic
the show feels like it was produced by staff that thinks people don't love fillers because it's not related to the main story. so the whole show is filled with the main story of the shatterverse so much that it gets draining. I would've liked if the show had resources to explore different stories other than sonic's.
Well he did interact with Rebel Rouge once but your point still stands, why was it only one time? Especially with Rouge/a version of Rouge like come on!
fr... they had so many characters but barely explored any of them. Rouge, Rebel, Prim, and Batten are all basically the same character, as they have basically no traits that set them apart. I get they're supposed to be split-versions of Rouge, but they didn't do much with it. The majority of the characters felt like background characters, despite being alternate versions of Sonic's main friends.
Well no. Tails said Mangy and Sails weren't him and.he blew them up
@@heroicgangster9981most people dont like fillers. Fillers are proven to harm TV ratings in a negative way. However, the pacing of Sonic Prime itself feels like filler. Characters keep repeating conversations, very little progress is made.
Filler would of made the show even worse. Because Sonic Prime is badly paced as is
The final battle in Sonic Prime is like if the final battle in Avengers Endgame was overstuffed, poorly paced, repetitive, not interesting, and not epic.
So 80% of the endgame final battle...
It made me angry that we never got an answer what the chaos council actually was? I thought those were alternative versions of Eggman from different Universes and that's how they could take control over the world. Or maybe that they were some kind of family? We really didn't get any answer😅. They were just there
Absolutely
Also thought that maybe the Paradox Prism shattered Eggmans different characteristics into different versions of him
Even that didn't make sense in the story they wrote, the Chaos Council didn't know of the different Shatter Spaces, they were surprised and happy to learn they could conquer new worlds. So if the alternate Eggmen all came from New Yolk, why were all five there from the start and not each from their own words?
Plus there were five of them and three each for the rest of the cast, kinda reeks of early draft ideas the writers were too stubborn to give up on as they refined the story.
@@masibb64right? Like the baby was his immature him,the one with the sword was his more “rational” side,the old man was his “wisdom” the younger techy kid was his tech smarts,and the one with full hair was his ego
Yeah, it seems that a lot of Sonic fans are miffed over the fact that Sonic Prime ended in a way that basically swept its multiverse concept under the rug for the sake of restoring the status quo for Sonic and friends, and honestly, I probably would be annoyed about it myself... if it weren't for the fact that I saw it coming a mile away.
World-shattering events in the Sonic universe (multiverse?) being glossed over is nothing new for the franchise. Hell, this isn't even the first time that Sonic's world has literally been shattered in some way only for the overarching narrative to move on like it didn't happen. Sonally shippers will know exactly what I'm talking about in that regard. I've learned to just take it in stride. SEGA wants to push the idea that everything is canon? Well, from my perspective, literally NOTHING is canon when it comes to Sonic; the franchise just does whatever the hell it wants where the narrative is concerned.
What's that? The world was broken apart in Sonic Unleashed by way of an apocalyptic event? Oh, wait, never mind, Sonic fixed that, let's move on! No need to ever mention it again!
What's that? Eggman took over the world and drove it to the brink of ruin in Sonic Forces? Oh, wait, never mind, that was all sorted out complete with Infinite being inexplicably erased from existence, let's move on! No need to ever mention it again outside of a cheeky reference here and there for the sake of momentarily indulging the fans while simultaneously throwing their entire perception of Sonic lore into question!
Like I said, I've learned to just take it in stride, Hell, Pokémon has been doing the exact same thing for a while now - building up a potential multiverse in the games and then using that as an easy shorthand excuse to explain away any narrative inconsistencies from one game to the next while also retconning fun gameplay mechanics out of existence. That's the in-universe reason why Mega Evolution is gone in the more recent titles; it literally doesn't exist in any individual Pokémon universe outside of the ones that the 3DS games take place in. No, I'm not happy about it, either, but there's nothing we can do about it.
I feel like nine's power could've been used way better. Have him change the terrain to mess with Sonic, or flip gravity like he did that one time in New Yoke. Instead he just uses his power to resurrect his robots like 5 times.
*I love when Man Of Action said "It's shatterin' time!" and shattered all over the potantial of Sonic Prime. Truly one of the animations of all time.*
_Extremely original and funny joke :)_
@Sonic_the_hedgedog nah, this time it makes sense since Man of Action accidentally made that meme 😅
@@nebolisaeneli4397huh really?
I loved that joke with the NPC background character too. It was so well set up too. I remember asking who that is when she was talking with the main cast, only to have one of the Chaos Council say the same thing when she was talking to him lol
There should have been more brutality between Sonic and Nine. Make them battered, bruised, and desperate after a long, brutal one on one in the fortress. Brutal like something you’d see in the DCAU. Let them beat each other’s hearts out, screaming at each other to beg the other to listen, Sonic slowly breaking down Nine’s walls, until they finally manage to resolve their conflict BEFORE being interrupted! Having Shadow and everyone gain up on Nine in the lab is so cheap and empty.
Nah this type of gruesome fighting isn't in line with the Sonic franchise
@@andarilho_31They had Sonic die, a little girl gunned down, a desolate world on fire, and the purest character kill their own soulmate. An emotional slugfest that ends in bruises and scratches would not be that out of place.
I will say, although I think the show has many fundamental flaws, I found it overall to be an enjoyable watch. I especially like how each of the shatter verse variance reflects some character trait of their prime universe counterpart.
Example: Amy Rose
Rusty represents her ability to grow as a person. Much like how Amy went from Sonic’s biggest fan to one of his greatest allies, Rusty goes from a servant of the Chaos Council to her own person with her own goals.
Thorn represents her desire for good. She saw that her jungle was in danger and wanted to protect it, even if she went too far.
Black Rose represents her love of adventure, and when she becomes the captain, you could argue reflects her ability to be a leader.
In my honest opinion, the three Amy variants and their evolving dynamic were the best thing to come out of Sonic Prime.
I would like to spare a story from Ryan Drummond. Back around the Dreamcast era, when he voiced Sonic, he was talking with a Sega exec at the studio. Ryan asked if there was a Sonic cartoon that he could voice for at the time. The exec denied it because at the time, Sonic was doing rather well financially and there wasn’t a strong toy brand to market at that time.
This is what Sonic Prime is to me. It pushes out as many designs to market as possible but doesn’t use the characters or the world to their fullest and as a result we have a product rather than artistic identity.
Yeah, Like I saw so much potetional in this shatterverse concept and it was thrown out the window. you could have easily made the no where place what happened to the world, if chaos won in sonic adventure 1 or new yok what happens if eggman won completely and made eggman land. Also none of the characters outside of the few we have at the start are actually shown or mentioned. Where the hell is the rest of the sonic universe while this happens?
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 A few what ifs from previous games would’ve been nice. I think the rules of the shatter verse were inconsistent, like how Shadow is limited to certain zones while the variants can pass through with ease.
If you’re looking for other Sonic universes, then at least we still have the fan film Sonic Villains.
Man I really enjoyed all of Prime. Especially season 3. With all of that said though ALL of these points hold merit, but I guess it goes to show that you can find joy in things that aren’t necessarily the highest of quality.
Like 06 fans
I’m pretty sure Nine wasn’t planning to restore Green Hill, he just saved a bit of green hill to make Sonic feel at home in the Grimm
I totally agree! I wanted a sonic show of Sonic and HIS friends going on adventures and such (or at least having them around for the show to interact with each other…) and that was my biggest disappointment with prime….
You know how WB and DC make those 2D animated DVD movies based on DC comic arcs? What if someone like Powerhouse worked with Sega to make animated movies of the IDW comics? Easier to justify them as canon if they give people a more accessible way to experience them.
About the pixel art not being a big deal, you are entitled to your opinion but I think it is honestly a pretty blatant flaw.
You are treating it like a nice extra that maybe wasn't too polished which feels like an overly generous way of looking at it.
Feels disrespectful to make something that sloppy instead of hiring someone who can actually do it, doesn't honour the classics at all and feels like a mockery.
Man of Action did a similar thing with the Mega Man show with pixel art that somehow looked worse. I'm sorry but it is impossible for me to view this as a loving tribute and not a low effort way for the show to try and convince people watching that the show is more plugged into the material than it really is.
As for the Gemerl "cameo", it feels more like an accident than actually paying homage, like they just pulled a boss from advance 3 not even realising that the machine Eggman was using was a character.
Maybe you could say I'm being too harsh but I'd rather they didn't bother, low effort sprite art like this feels like compensating for something.
I definitely agree with the criticism of not seeing much of the original versions of these characters, not only would it have been nice to see more flashbacks of them, but I think it also would’ve been nice to see Sonic get them back before the end and they join the fight against Nine cause I think it was a big missed opportunity to not have the OG versions interact with their alternate selves, especially Tails and Nine (that and more interactions between Shadow and anyone but Sonic cause seriously why is the only interaction Shadow has with any version of Rouge that brief one he had with Rebel in the final episode like are you kidding me right now), we could’ve seen Tails’ surprise at how far he could’ve gone without Sonic in his life by seeing Nine, Knuckles being a bit annoyed by Dread and Gnarly like Renegade Knucks but he and Rouge aren’t as serious as their New Yoke counterparts for obvious reasons, and Amy maybe could’ve been the one to bring together that sisterhood between Rusty, Thorn, and Black Rose. And maybe the four of them being back could’ve meant Eggman as well so he basically takes control of the Chaos Council because of their incompetence (though with those guys I’d have preferred if they were tossed out and instead we got versions of Eggman in each world, mainly an Emperor Eggman for New Yoke who’s similar to Robotnik from SatAM or the Archie Comics). The only way I can think of for how they’d be brought back before the finale though would be at the end of Season 2 when I think a Prism energy wave or whatever turned their ghost forms in Ghost Hill back to normal, maybe before another one came and turned them back into their ghost forms, Sonic managed to grab them and bring them back somehow, but I don’t know, maybe there’s a better idea (either way that would probably have to mean a different ending scene which I’m fine with because the one we got was weird, like if they were gonna go with the whole timeline reset or whatever then they could’ve just shown us a bit of the other worlds, especially New Yoke to see the Resistance is finally getting everything back on track over there now that the Chaos Council is gone, so it doesn’t seem like everything in the show may have been pointless). Also it would’ve been nice to see more characters here, kinda like it being annoying that they acted like Overused Hill is the only place in Sonic’s world, it’s odd that they seemed to act like the main four, Eggman, Shadow, Rouge, and Big are the only characters here, like it would’ve been nice to see how different other Sonic characters are in these worlds, like one example I can think of is maybe in New Yoke Cream was good friends with Amy before Amy was roboticized by the the Chaos Council and turned into Rusty which maybe makes it hard for Cream to even look at her before Rusty turns back to the good side and her and Cream are able to start again, it also might’ve been nice to see a more serious and maybe even less optimistic version of Silver from the future of that world. Really the only two characters that might not have been affected by this aside from Sonic and Shadow unless they were there when Sonic shattered the Prism are Blaze and Marine since they’re from a different dimension (though if they did do that, we’d only see Blaze I don’t think they’re gonna show Marine again outside of comics for a long time at this point).
actually ghost hill isn't sonic's green hill is another shatterspace and sonic's green hill didn't come back that was just ghost hill got completed and the ghost hill group aren't the originals just shattered characters designed to copy the originals and the shatterverse and the shatterspaces are sonic's universe broke into shards/pieces/parts
I don’t what that other stuff was that you said. But you’re right; the ending we got basically made the whole plot of the show pointless.
Honestly it feels like this was originally meant to be a feature length movie but got turned into a TV show because the live action Sonic movies were successful they turned it into a show so people wouldn't get confused. I'm not saying that happened but it feels like it did also where the hell was Blaze?
Need a abridged version of the show to cut the filler
10:26 I think the problem is the 8 episode binge format, it seems to run in to a similar problem that serials do where the writers go “we need to waiste an episode or random parts of the entire story on filler so extend the walk-in shots, slow down the actors and slow down the talking or just add gaps between sentences” this thing has the problem of having filler fights and being 3d animated so they can’t just throw in a filler villain without creating a whole new 3d model.
Huh, usually when I watch reviewers experience “And The Adventure Continues” trope, they loose their minds and despise on it with so many unanswered questions racing through their heads, your quick recognition of that trope is not very common as far as I recall.👍
I think the show is so long because of the 23 episode contract, if it was 10 episodes it would have been amazing
I thought the palm tree thing is just meant to show Sonic that Nine cared about Sonic
I only ever watched the first episode, and it didn't really interest me enough to keep watching, but I do wish the mainline stories would give Sonic a character arc or more substantial flaws like this show does. It seems like the show did a few things that the games could benefit from.
What baffles me is how it contradicts itself so often. It starts with sonic sacrificing himself with the promise of Nine restoring the other places, but Sonic breaks his word, and we have 4 episodes of combat only for the ending to be.......Sonic sacrificing himself with Nine restoring the other places, with no mention or downside of Sonic randomly breaking his word and causing literally the entire final act.
Then we have an entire episode about sonic learning to wait, since rushing at Nine would be a terrible idea, since it's exactly what Nine wants, who clearly has a plan and trap the second Sonic goes there, only for the solution next episode to be Sonic rushing at Nine, who...doesn't have a plan or trap at all.
We even have Nine saying he wants to kidnap people in the pirate place to use as hostages, since he knows a direct attack will fail, only to...directly attack sonic and not use hostages.
The worst part is that Sega will see "3d animated sonic series was badly reviewed" and read that as only live-action Sonic is popular and will throw away any plans to use the game canon in animated form. Rather than hire better writers. Because Sega.
Honestly, in general I liked Prime. The first two seasons were enjoyable, (even if they got repetitive). However, season 3 wasn't terrible, but yeah, the Grim fight was so frustrating. I literally said to my tv multiple times, "When Is It Gonna End?!" My favorite thing about the show is just the characters and their relationships. I love how Sonic finally gets character development, and my God; this is the Best Shadow we've had in a long time. Him *actually* showing emotions, like being concerned for Sonic, makes me hopeful for his future. Like Sega said, wait for the third movie for them to reevaluate Shadow's character.
I did enjoy Prime, but there are a lot of problems.
I do hope for the next Sonic show, we can get a story that’s better thought out and well paced. And let’s bring in characters like Silver and Blaze. They can bring new story opportunities that don’t have to rely on the trend that’s popular at the time. We can bring in a new threat that will eventually require the Chaos Emeralds to beat it, and have Sonic, Shadow, and Silver going super to beat it, even throw in Burning Blaze for some extra fun.
I wouldn’t mind seeing characters like Rusty and Nine again, but in a different kind of way. I would love to see this kind of animation and voice cast back, but maybe they should change up the writing team, or at least make there writing more consistent and less repetitive.
1. Nine made this show for me.
2. I laughed at the Chaos Council, and I think Dr. Done-It outshined the rest of them.
3. I like Pirates.
Would I have liked to see more breather episodes where the characters could just interact with each other? Yes. But I still had a good time.
Honestly, it would have been fun if more than just 0 became a villain. Maybe, because of the shatterspaces coming from, you know, the Prism, all the Tails realize that fixing it would destroy the Shatterspaces, killing those universes. Then, as the end, maybe with the Time Stones from Sonic CD, Sonic fixes the prism in a way that restores Green Hill, AND keeps the Shatterspaces intact. The final fight, then, is Nine stealing the Time Stones, hoping to destroy them, while Sonic rushes to tell him that, in fact, he needs the Time Stones to SAVE everyone.
I always get the feeling this was meant to be a movie but stretched out to thin.
so i like Prime, like a lot, i have a soft spot for multiverses, character counterparts, pirate stereotypes...
but here is my take on how Prime could continue
for the format, eather an actual season 2 (parts 4, 5, 6, ect.) or continue with an IDW spin-off (with IDW you can include more locations and characters)
as for the story
i imagen that that wave at the end, was 'green hill' becoming part of The Void permanently, characters can safely visit the shatterspaces and their friends/counterparts
but Eggman also discovers this, and starts to take control over the Chaos Council (as they notice that he is a real version of their part 2 finale weapon)
and hey, we could even see Sonic and Shadow counterparts, or new shatterspaces
It is said that there were originally about 20 episodes but Netflix wanted 24 spread out, though nothing is concrete. But anyway I like Sonic Prime, its just to freaking long .
20 episodes for the pacing of that story still sounds bonkers. I feel like those extra episodes could've added some breathers into the pacing of the show from how dopamine fueled it really was
I agree
8-10 episodes would be good enough
If we took one episode off the first 2 seasons with one episode off season 3 and replace it with the final episode with the main cast and also an actual teaser for a possible new season then I would definitely give my rating of Sonic Prime from a 6 to a 7 or 8
Yeah i agree the show is really repetaive, that finale battle in the grim was a good example it was really drag out, plus personally i feel like the ending was kind of abrupt, like i wish we could have seen how the alternate versions of the characters were doing once they returned to there universes.
And yeah i agree that this show would have worked better as a film,
But despite its issues i still enjoyed the show, and had a good time watching it, the animation was great, i enjoyes the show's portrayal of sonic and shadow, and and even if it wasn't executed perfectly i thought it was cool they had tails(nine) be the main villain of the final season.
if i had to rank it with the other sonic shows i would say its my 3rd favorite sonic show above boom and underground but under x and satam.
The multiverse concept is cursed. In my opinion, no one really knows how to do it properly, not even Sony with their Spider-Verse movies. I consider those Spider-Man movies to be overrated because of the multiverse feeling like a gimmick, especially with the second film. Into The Spider-Verse was good because of Miles Morales’ story, not the multiverse in my opinion. Across The Spider-Verse was just okay because the multiverse story is at the forefront, and the multiverse characters were just cameos and a bunch of army, puke action everywhere. Not to mention that I don’t really care about these multiverse Spider people all that much. I wish Spectacular Spider-Man played a big role in the second movie.
The only multiverse thing that satisfied my expectations was Spider-Man No Way Home, because it was treated like an Avengers movie. Both Tom Holland’s character arc as Spider-Man and the multiverse concept got the same amount of respect. Plus, I actually cared about these multiverse characters. I’m kind of like you, Pup. You only care about the mainline Sonic characters and not these multiverse variants. I only really care about Peter Parker Spider-Man, his stories, as well as the characters associated with himself. I don’t care all that much about Spider-Pig, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Gwen, not even Miles Morales Spider-Man. In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, I only cared about Peter Parker’s story. Miles just felt like filler and made me wish to go back to playing Symbiote Spider-Man again.
Its a matter of majority opinion. Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse movies are too populsr for you to say they didnt know what to do. You are the odd one out.
Media and business should *NEVER* appeal to the odd ones out. Else we get cases like Marvel's She Hulk and "progressive writing" that only appeals to a tiny percentage of Twitter whiners, and ended up turning off the majority.
As for Sonic Prime, writing and pacing issues are understandable criticisms
@@MB-cb2heThat’s very ignorant and insulting of you to compare my opinion to She-Hulk. And I’m not saying that the Spider-Verse movies are bad. It’s just how they execute the multiverse narrative that I’m not the biggest fan of. It’s definitely better than other multiverse projects like Sonic Prime and The Flash, but only No Way Home executed the multiverse concept properly in my opinion.
Popular opinions can be trash at times, because the Internet in general is trash and full of obnoxious, annoying people that follow “trains” without thinking for themselves. They’re a vocal minority compared to the entire world’s population. Case in point: the “popular opinions” about MCU Spider-Man are trash. They’re flat-out wrong, like how MCU Peter didn’t receive any consequences until No Way Home. Anyone who has actually watched these movies should know that MCU Spidey has received consequences before, like his crush, Liz Allen, moving away, and that Far From Home post-credit scene. As someone who’s read the comics, MCU Spider-Man has been an accurate representation of the character, because of the Lee-Ditko era in the comics. And most likely, they’ll be taking MCU Spider-Man down the Lee-Romita era. Mark my words: MCU Spider-Man and the Home trilogy will get the respect they deserve in the Internet world. Spider-Man 3 went from being hated to loved, the TASM movies went from being hated to loved, and the Star Wars prequel trilogy went from being hated to loved. The Home trilogy already has plenty of respect from people in the real world because of their box office numbers, especially Far From Home, which became the highest grossing Spider-Man movie before No Way Home’s existence. This just shows that Internet opinions are not the be-all-end-all, and they’re not facts. Opinions are not facts, not even popular ones.
I’d love another Sonic anime, similar to X but combine the games universe with other parts like the post-genesis wave Archie continuity. That was so cool.
as much as i do like prime a lot, i have to admit if prime was a netflix exclusive movie, it'd be way better in the pacing
In my opinion I think Sonic Prime is a experimental show to test the new characterization of the characters, I believe the next Sonic show will be even greater than Prime
While I do respect Man of Action's Work in the Ben 10 series, his work in Sonic Prime was really good! I like how nine was the true villain of the series I love how they made Shadow shine again I like how they made sonic and nine have character developments and the animation is top notch! sure its not as good as the stories in Sonic X but its good in its own rights! also I like how the series takes place after the events of Sonic Advance 3!
It doesn’t take place after advance 3 cause cubot and orbot are there it just takes place some time after that game , just cuase they showed a flashback to it 🤣
@@naitsabes6222 No Ian Flynn said it did take place after the events of Sonic Advance 3! he posted it as well!
@@brickzoneanimations8395 bruh he said specifically “it takes place sometime after advance 3” clearly he has no idea when the hell this is supposed to take place, also that he says it dosent matter shows that he knows how so many people hated prime that you can just ignore it lol
@@brickzoneanimations8395 Best to read it again. He said "It's sometime after advance 3".
Man of Action isn't one singular person
Glad it’s over. I personally didn’t like Sonic in this show. He constantly came across as dumb and incompetent. I know some people think that’s was Sonic is but at least he’d come across as cool. Sonic wasn’t cool in this show at all. He would always land on his face while others characters would land on their feet. As for Shadow, I thought he was great in the show. I’ve always felt that Shadow should be more of a
Vegeta type character and he definitely comes across that way. I was most disappointed with Nine though. You’re telling me that a Tails that grew up without Sonic basically becomes the same character? Wasn’t a fan of Nine/Tails’s voice either. He sounded like a 25 year old lesbian. Sonic’s voice was great most of the time, but anytime Sonic went flying through the air, D Mack was doing way too much. Ultimately, I just wanted to see Sonic and Friends™️ interact and go on an epic adventure. Unfortunately all of his friends were only in the first episode. Expect Shadows of course. Idk the show wasn’t terrible it just wasn’t as good as I expected.
THANK YOU! First the critique, Then the suggestions. Sonic Prime is classic "true believer modernist" in its story telling. Tell me you don't have a lot of story without telling me you don't have a lot of story. How you ask? By making the gimmick of the show annoying instead of entertaining. I get it's supposed to be about disharmony in a group 🙄, but the MANY instances where Sonic has to RE-explain himself to the alternate versions of his friends why he dissappears slows the story DOWN too much. The resulting frustration he gets into DOESN'T make me root for him, it makes me feel like the writers were padding his dialog!
What's that? I'm on to something? Quick writing team! Chaos Council button! Chaos Council button!
Which one?
Deploy "Iron Baby"! 😈
I couldn't make it all the way to the finale. And then to find out they ended the show by turning the one character Sonic had ANY regular contact with into the bad guy? Sigh...IMHO, some of what could have made the show's concept land better with ME was if the alternate versions of his friends SHARED memories of Sonic's intervention with eachother to go with this ending. Would have made Nine's change of heart more believable too. A sort of "good guy" version of the Chaos Council. Now the Astral celestial projections of Sonic's friends "DO something ELSE" besides annoy the viewer by guilt tripping Sonic! Now Sonic can work TOWARDS getting the dopples to work WITH him, not against him. The worst misses for ME are the missed opportunities. Did I mention how PUNCHABLE I find Dr. Babbles face? ^_^
I enjoyed sonic prime but I feel like it had way too many filler episodes.
Hm, I see, fair and valid points and opinions, it’s a shame that this didn’t do it for you, i hope we get a better one at some point.
Speaking of which, i wonder what the next Show will be? What would you like to see?
Great review! What is the name of the sonf for your intros if you do not mind me asking? It is quite catchy!
Just waiting for the day we get a good animated sonic show, hopefully with a better cast of villians and a more mature tone?
It's funny, I absolutely loved the third season, even all the back and forth fighting. I thought it was so much fun. After watching I came online to talk to people about it thinking everyone would be as hype as I was but... no one seems to like it. Idk I guess I just like Nine as a villain. I understand why some people didn't like it, but I guess I'm surprised by so many negative reviews. I mean that giant Big robot was cool, right? Also my interpretation of the Chaos Counsel was that was all the different versions of Eggman, they just ended up in one place... but that's just a guess.
Ah well, this wouldn't be the first time when I had an unpopular opinion.
I also liked it the series itself And most of the things dude said can be explained by the simple fact that Sonic and nine aren't that mature for a big dialogue about their intentions.
I liked the animation style in general and the characters' voices and there are also great references in the game series. I think the original Sonic just lacked a little more personality And further reference other places besides green hill like sonic frontiers did. I also enjoyed seeing that Sonic learned things throughout the story and I hope to see him like this in the next shows and games
The ending was good, I just think the fight was too big and that's why the ending was tight with Nine's quick redemption and the absence of character variants in the last few minutes, However, this opens up opportunities for a new series or something new to explore what happened to them, perhaps showing that each universe is still living its own life but it's not necessary reconnect them so early.
It's probably 8.5/10
When they make another show it should be 2d animated, the limitations of budget 3d animation really screwed over this show.
Wasn't the shatterverse created by the original Sonic universe being, well, "shattered"? How can it be restored and still coexist aside the others?
I stand somewhere in the middle with this opinion. I agree they used far too much filler in a lot of areas. But I wasn't super concerned with them showing the original cast, though that wouldn't have been a bad idea. I think the point of showing us different iterations of these characters, was to show us different angles of the characters we already know and love. I think they did a pretty phenominal job with Amy, Nine and Sonic. But unfortunately a lot of the other characters didn't hit as strong. Tail's other iterations, knuckles, and Rouge all sorta had a weaker approach that I felt could have been way stronger if they had more screentime. The freedom fighters gave us a very interesting look at Rouge's and Knuckles relationship and how well the two work together. I think that could have been highlighted more. I also think they intended to use shadow to foil sonic as well. Which in a lot of ways, made this one of the best Shadow iterations we have seen in a long time, however, the lack of screentime for him, gave him very little room to grow. I wish they would have explained why the chaos emeralds seem to have stopped existing after the paradox prism fiassco. The overall ending felt very underwhelming and I was dissappointed with another cop out ending of "oh it didnt happen". Despite this, the journey was still alot of fun and to say that it was weaker than any of the other sonic stuff we got is a far stretch. Neither the movies, nor sonic frontiers gave us this much depth into the characters. I enjoyed Sonic X, and Sonic underground back in the day. But i think this takes the cake as the best sonic television show we have gotten in a long time. Despite the stretch of filler towards the last 3 episodes, most of the fight scenes were great! I loved how it felt like an actual playthrough of a game. The animation and voice acting of these characters were spot on and I loved that Sonic wasn't a typical Gary stu. and Tail's has to be one of the scariest villains sonic has ever faced. He understood all of Sonic's weakness intamitely. And it took Sonic using the very thing Nine gifted him, as a way to defeat him. It had a lot of potential, unfortuntately it seems like the writers were probably also unsure of how they wanted to end the show.
1. The pacing really was the biggest problem for the show. The water world (No Place) legitimately made me want to blow my brains out every time it reared its ugly head. The pirate theme was fun for all of 10 minutes and then it was just torture
2. I could have forgiven the show for its issues ,and I will say that overall it IS actually quite good, if it wasn't for that ending.
Just WHY? The show was over and Sonic and Shadow got their seemingly happy ending, so why in the last 40 seconds do they pull the rug out from under us, implying that there's more to come when this is *supposed* to be the end. I get the whole "And the adventure continues" trope. But then why show what looks like the Prism shattering instead of just the big looming shadow we see at the end. It kind of makes the plot up until this point seem meaningless.
I really hope they plan to do a sequel series or smth, cause if not then this show drops from a solid 7-8/10 to a 5/10 for denying us a satisfying conclusion at the last possible second.
About 1, I kinda liked the pirate theme as it was happening, the problem was that everything that happened in it was never useful afterwards. I mean.. look at the recap at the beggining of season 3 episode 1! There's not a SINGLE scene of the No Place plotline lmao, it was not useful for the story at all. The forest world at least had an OP Amy, the bird became the source for a lot of robots, and in the final battle team forest at least tried to sneak on Nine but failed (what a let down that was but oh well).
But speaking of that last point, wasn't the whole inital plan in that final fight that the forest guys would sneak from one side and the pirate team from the other?? We never see the pirate team flanking, and I laughed hard when even the show forgot about most of the crew on a sinking ship while the world was ending. The only thing that was inpactful from No Place was Black Rose helping Rusty have a change of heart, but then Rusty was the useful one lol. Dread just completely fell flat, did nothing the whole time then became good at the end.. sigh... we could say the water world went.. down the drain. No Place went.. no where?
Now that I think of it, there was also such a good tease when Sonic saw the loopty-loop underwater. I thought they were going to find why the world was underwater, drain that world a bit, cull the forest in the forest world a bit etc, basically fix them all a bit with Sonic's help, but nah lol.
2 I agree completely. Just show us them having a picnic at the end for a happy ending. Show the other shatterverses if they still exist, or have a slightly sad tone by Sonic saying he now understood Nine because the other spaces ceased to exist when Green Hill was restored. And if you want a "And the adventure continues" trope, just show OG Eggman attacking them, and Sonic being like "oh classic Eggman eheh, let's go again *End.* " Not a misterious shadow that looks like the Mothership
I would like a season 4 to wrap up these thing that didn't need to be wrapped up, but this probably will end up unanswered, just like a certain Underground show of Sonic
The last season was good.... but suuper repetative. like they could've cut out half the episodes and we would've had the same amount of story progression.
Spoiler Alert:
It was basically like
Sonic: "We have to talk to tails"
Friends: "He's killing us"
Tails: "I h8 you sonic! Predictable..."
Robots -> Destroyed -> Rebuilt by crystal magic -> Repeat
For like 4 episodes. I decided to fast forward through two of them just to see what it would come to and I feel like I didn't miss anything critical
Fr they go to winning the fight, to losing, to back to winning, to back to losing, to back to winning, to back to losing AGAIN and then they FINALLY WIN!
9:48 why does everything look flat and lifeless like the metaverse
Weird how Man of Action made Ben 10 so good but Sonic so meh
I just finsihed the show it was amazing
Hey, Pup! Are you planning on doing a review of that "Project Shadow" fan film that released a few weeks ago, or have you not seen it yet?
I intend to!
@@ChannelPup Awesome!
I feel like shadow was the mvp thru all the seasons
some of my biggest problems besides the writing itself is I personally didn't like the cliffhangers because they would release the whole season at once so there was no excitement for the next episode because you could binge it and I think shadow constantly just being thrown in without much thought besides being the sensible straight man was dumb he should've stayed a lot longer since he seemed to be thrown in just for fan service but he actually had a good dynamic with sonic because the writing made sonic a lot more flawed and the two characters keeping me engaged was shadow and nine since I liked the relationship they had with sonic in the show but it's a really big shame sonic didn't explore what happened to the shatterverse and I was expecting a few second clips during the end showing that the worlds still exist but it's just going back to the norm and we're left in the dark of what happened despite it being the central conflict between sonic and nine that we wouldn't know what would happen to nine and the rest of the shatterverse
I liked the show it was alright season i rly liked season 2 and 1 more season 3 didnt hit 4 episodes of fighting was kind weard choise
*Once again, Sega doesn't want to take advantage of the amazing lore they have or the fact that they can establish new creative lore rather than the safe bare minimum we got.* Also that ending was just... not good 😅. 6 out of 10 overall for me on the series
Can you explain why you have the gym/yoga segment in ur vid, you telling us to be active is super dope and i love it but i still fund its inclusion confusing
I'm just promoting a buddy's business.
Thats dope
@@ChannelPup That's cool. I feel like the transition is too sudden (if you don't mind some constructive criticism) I think it would help if you had a segue into it, like saying "hey, now its time for short break to hear from my friend" (not word for word, but something along those lines).
@@lasercraft32 Kinda have to agree, it was so sudden I thought a different video started playing for some reason. RUclips has glitched out like that before for me, playing a different video to the shown title, description and even comments.
when someone at man of action said the show would be similar to generator rex they straight up lied to us
the only interactions we saw with other characters was the amy’s and tails’. they created a bond and worked together. the knuckles’ and rouge’s barely interacted with each other. we saw lots of development with rusty, but there was just a small scene with black rose and dread and suddenly he’s changed. at least there was a whole backstory for thorn, but what about the others? they all mostly interacted with the people from their shatterspace and them only. we also must talk about shadow. shadow just was kinda there and never interacted with anyone. he just kinda assisted sonic when needed and tried to steer him in the right direction. he never made bonds with anyone. not rouge, who he’s on team dark with, not tails, not amy, not even knuckles. there could have been so much more, but there wasn’t. also, we are stuck wondering what happened now that sonic is gone. did the amy’s all live together as “sisters” or did the go back to their respective worlds? and what’s the random blue explosion?
The book-end at the finale where Sonic makes a different decision should have been the half-way point of the show, and he should have made the right decision as he did. In doing so it should have allowed the 2nd half to be entirely about one Eggman fighting this Sonic that has been through a ton of trials and tribulations to get to where he is. I would have done a set-up where Shadow teleports with the Paradox Prism to Eggman's Location to set-up a conflict between Super Sonic and Super Shadow (How did Shadow get that Emerald out of the "Void" A place that is set-up but never explained or explored) The idea being that Eggman tricks Shadow into fighting Sonic by basically Shadow accidentally spilling the beans to Eggman that Sonic AND Him are the only 2 who remember the "Shatterverse" You do a bunch of things exploring different places with Eggman Resurrecting Perfect Chaos (Good little arc for Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Possibly Tikal?) And trying to finish The Biolizard (This would be good for a sort of call-back to Cannons core but swap out Eggman for Amy) And have Shadow get defeated by the Biolizard, only for Shadow to realize that 2 Ultimate Life Forms cannot defeat each other alone. (No ARK or anything to do with Maria) And you set up a Pre-Finale where Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Rouge, Tails, and Knuckles defeat the Biolizard. Eggman then tries to make Haste with the Emerald (add some mini-plots in between about gathering up emeralds, possibly from Perfect Chaos) and the show ends with Super Versions of all the Characters fighting a Paradox Prism Powered Eggman, at which point they figure out how to beat him without shattering the prism (Using things Sonic learned in his time in the first half in the Shatterverses)
Sonic prime is great but I do agree with you the battle with the Grim robots was long and boring but it got to the battle strategy with rebel and Sonic
Na yea I’ll be honest the way it was wasn’t all that like u did say it’s a kid show but Aii still after sonic x I thought they understood what sonic fans would want so yea u right about all this
I think it was good for what it was but had a lot of missed potential. I think it could have been cut to about 200 minutes as some of the repetition was okay as long as it didn't keep happening to the point of worn out. If I take the Nostalgic glasses off I would say this objectively is better than Underground and Adventures of. And my 7 year old would agree on that
Nine just felt like doc jr in this final season
8:58 in the show the choas councel were not actual villans they were just fake villans to hide the true villan witch was nine
Facts. Nine was always there doing his own thing and moving in the shadows if you look back
I’d like to make it known that episode one was 2 episodes put together hence why it was 40 mins long as to the usual 20
Great review man
That Underground dig was filthy
11:58 THIS.
I’m gonna say this until the universe implodes, but the pirate world should’ve been blazes dimension. In fact you can’t convince me that wasn’t the original plan
Sonic Dream Team is so good
overall i have a complicated love/hate relationship with this show because its full of highs and lows
probably what i am going to say is a hot take but the first "season" of the show is my favorite ... if i could rewrite the show i would change nothing about the first season, the rest of the show is where my problems start
my only problem with the first season is the huge amount of flashbacks to the previous episodes , i know people hate sonics personality in this show but i as a person who doesnt like sonic as a character ( i love sonics friends from the games and other media but sonic himself weirdly enough is not even in my top 20 favorite sonic characters , probably because i dont like flat characters ) am totally fine with it , prime sonic is an idiot but he is funny and i love his arc of becoming a better version of himself , the voice acting and the animations are better that the previous sonic shows and i am one of the few people who still loves the concept of multiverse , i would still love to see sonic have shows like marvels what if and movies like spiderverse ( yes i know the sonic villains fan film is in development ) , and i dont mind the shows childishness because even a childish show can have a good story, just the existence of characters like Nine and Rusty Rose makes me love this show
but most of my praises of this show is for its first season , the rest of the show is gimmicky and repetitive , it feels like a 12 episode show but it has so much padding that the length of the show has doubled , season 2 could be wrapped up in 3 or 4 episodes but they kept losing and getting the shards again and again , season 2 could end in only 3 or 4 episodes but Nine kept rebuilding his army, most people would say the show had to be shorter but i say instead of the monster of the week formula and random unneeded conflicts , they should have instead explored the characters and their backstories more and they shouldnt have been afraid of showing more emotions , sonic and nine could have collected all the shards much faster and then we could have some prequel episodes for the likes of Nine and Rusty Rose , they could have made Nine a more tragic character , they could show more of him being bullied , we could see more of Nine trying to be part of a society but people would consider him a freak of nature that should have never existed , we could see that Nine had no other choice than seperating himself from his world , people could see he has a reason to be like how he is , we could have seen once those bullies almost beat him to death and that would be his reason of creating those mechanical tails , imagine he just created those for self defense but the bullies would break into his place to beat him again but this time nine would use his mechanical tails to kill those 2 red foxes who turned nines life into a hell ( of course they can not show it directly and they would not use the words like kill and death ) maybe we could have seen more characters in the show imagine we could have a version of cream the rabbit who would be the only person before sonic to show kindness to nine and she would tragicly die or something , we could have explored more of Rusty Rose , we could have seen Rusty used to be someone similar to our Amy but maybe one day an explosion burnt her so bad that only a few parts of her body was left of her and the chaos council robotocised her to turn her into their murder machine , imagine it was an arc that lasted for the entire show and they would do something like the "Mecha Sally" arc of Archie sonic comics , imagine sonic would be seriously heartbroken by seeing amy in that situation and he would do all he could to bring her back , imagine we could have something similar to Amy and Shadows moment and the end of Sonic Adventure 2 but with reversed roles , this time Shadow would be the one to finally make Amy remember who she used to be , imagine Rusty would be one of the main factors of defeating Nine but at the end she would be seriously damaged and she would open her chest and set that bird free and she would die with tears in her organic eyes and we could see the reflection of the bird flying free in her eye
they could have done two ways of a better ending for the show :
1. they could turn nine into a tragic monster ( something like the "Where Was My Hero" sonic fan comic ) , we could have seen Nine go through such a hell of a life that she would go mad and destroy the chaos council and try to conquer the shatterverse and maybe Nine killed Sails and Mangee for real ( and some other characters ) and that would force sonic to finally kill Nine .
2. they could have done the same thing as they did in the show but better , instead of Nines army getting destroyed and rebuilt all the time they would have actually defeated sonics army and sonic and nine instead of just using shields and projectiles they would have actually had a cool hand to hand combat , we could see Nine be the most badass fighter ever and he could have actually defeated sonic but just the moment Nine wants to go for the kill he would somehow remember some of his memories of sonic from the original timeline or he would see Creams ghost or something and that would make Nine to stop the fight and burst into tears and sonic would comfort him and say "i am here for you , i know you had a hard life but know that no matter what i will always be there for you" or something like that or the original Tails would somehow come back and Tails would be the person to change Nines mind with his kind words. then we could have seen the aftermath , we could see the original version of sonics friends would interact with their shatterverse counterparts , we could have seen Nine becoming a good person and he would help the people of his dimention to rebuilt , now that the chaos council are gone , Nine would be one of the main factors to restore their world back into the beautiful place that it used to be and that would have been how people would stop calling him a freak and would actually start liking him and accept him as part of their society and Nine would finally find happiness and sonic and tails would check on him from time to time and Nine would become one of sonics greatest allies who would sometimes come from his dimension to sonics dimension to help.
as you can see we could have gotten a masterpiece but instead we got a meh animated series , but despite all this dissappointment , i still can hate this show because when it is good , it is really good and when you compare this show to other animations of nowadays you will realize it could be much much worse .
I’m not reading all this
@@quangamershyguyyz7166 *I scrolled through hoping to see this comment, lol!*
Tbh I would’ve preferred the latter ending because then Sonic wouldn’t have had to pointlessly explain his inter dimensional adventure to his friends and them not believing him
But then again, in my opinion nine’s death as an ending would’ve been just as satisfying if not more so all things considered
I say it's meh. i used to like it, but i think it should be better
I thought 24 episodes were made not 23?
The final season has 7 episodes.
Episode 1 counts as 2
Yeah the first episode is essentially two episodes as one (kinda dumb but whatever)
Giant tails head was giving dr cortex from crash bandicoot
8:40 it wasn’t just a side door those were there because nine started destroying the world and now there are cracks
7:07 Why does he remind me of the actor that played Eddie in marvel knights spider man?
Damn g snapped hard on this one bro said this show is worser than Sonic underground bro while I can't lie this show is mediocre at best it's not as bad as underground I can't stand the freaking singing sessions in underground man you can strap me up to a chair and make me binge Sonic boom back to back and play rise of lyric and 06 and they all sound better than watching a single episode of Sonic underground 😅😢 always did love the idea of him having siblings though too bad Sonia and manic were poorly written and executed maybe it's for the best
Ehhh not quite. I said it beats Sonic Underground and is the 2nd worst. Underground's the worst. I'm a hyper critical sadass, I'm not clinically insane.
14:22 and by “reflect” I believe you mean “question” as in they don’t buy this new side of Sonic. This is the BS ending that pretty much made me wish I’d just watched the new “Squid Game” instead
👍👍👍
I really liked this show it was really awesome and badass and tons of fun.
23:55 fin.
this show is for kids. ive seen kids on shorts and tt that absolutely lose it and love this show. so its for them, not really an in depth character show that a lot of people expected. then again, season 1 did a lot that s2 and s3 didnt so then again im not sure.
Honestly shadow was rhe most boring part. Can tell Sega was going “no no no! Don’t do that!” finger wag.
The chaos council was really bad too. Eggman I really missed. Brian Drummond did his best but damn…he’s no Mike Pollock,
Prime being canon to the games was a mistake. Didn’t like it. It didn’t even have to be canon, it could have just been its own thing.
The story just felt so the same in the whole three seasons. Can tell they were so going “no! Don’t develop this character! No! Sonic can’t be anything else but arrogant and quirky”
Also Ian Helm? So much better than Kirk Thornton playing “Count Shadow”
Shadow being boring? Now THAT I can agree with
Man season 3 to me was so bad except for the first two episodes it was just the same thing from episode 3 to 7 just the war going back and forth was just so boring.
Oh boy, looks like all this "everything is canon" stuff is garbage. It's just Sega making cute references to comics, old comics, old shows, and unnecessarily getting our hopes up about putting characters and storylines we want in the games.
It's just a weak attempt to boost support with up in an air promise of good stuff to come. I don't think we'll be seeing characters like the Neo Diamond Cutters, the Archie Freedom Fighters, the good Sonic X characters like Cosmo. The fact they initially put these media in separate continuities mwans they had no desire to use them: they just wanted to use the game cast, and even then, they want the MAIN cast, like Sonic, Tails, Knux, Amy, Eggman, and Shadow maybe. They probably have no immediate plans of rehabilitating the others like Blaze, Silver, and even the Chaotix.
I feel so let down. This is supposed to be Sega's Renaissance, and they insist on baby steps.
I agree. Let's be honest that the reason these people want everything to be canonized is simply because they like other media, so much so that there was talk that a crossover between Sonic and the game version would happen in this series and that didn't happen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sonic is better known for his series than for his games, and the way people who make videos saying that Prime and IDW are canon for games is like it's the "salvation" of the franchise , when in fact "Sonic Frontiers" itself saved the franchise. And I'll say more, even if Sega said that "Sonic Prime" is canonical for the games, I don't believe it, because it's a lie. There are many contradictions in the series, in Sonic's personality and also in the purposes established for the rest of the cast in the games.
Personally I found that I enjoyed Sonic Prime quite a bit personally. I really enjoyed the characters quite a bit. The characters and the world's were the biggest draw to me.
I do think you bring up a lot of very valid criticism's and I actually agree with almost all of them.
Despite me enjoying the show quite a lot, I do think there were certainly some misses. Good video!
Tbh I miss how sonic personality used to be in the 90s, sonic used be edgy serious character but now more friendly and goofy now and I know because of kids but funny that shadow acts more like the 90s sonic then how sonic is today, does anyone else see that or is is just me 🤷♂️
He was never edgy.
@@isaacthegoat1432 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 maybe because you weren't there in the 90s
