I respect Sonic's decisions but from my point of view, the villains in these comics really have nothing to learn. The one who should learn the lesson there is Sonic. He should learn that in the world there are people who no matter how much does he know or how many times he had talked to them, they will never change, they will not want to listen and they will only continue causing chaos.

I'm not going to deny Sonic is too preachy in IDW, but I feel like people take it out of context sometimes. The reason he pulls this on Eggman is because he saw the potential good in him because of Mr. Tinker, which to his credit is not entirely misplaced given how Eggman treats Sage in Frontiers. With Surge, he saw that she was a victim, someone who was abused and put into circumstances that nobody would reasonably want. He didn't pull this with Neo Metal Sonic, or Starline, or Zavok. So far he's only pulled this with people he thinks *can* do good. I get why this upsets people, and I certainly hope they tone it down in later issues. But I think people exaggerate it just a bit.

@@Peashamactually I disagree with the "him always sparing his villains" part. Sonic doesn't care what his enemies do with their lives, it's not his problem. Cream in episode 1 of sonic X said it best: sonic doesn't "get in eggman's way", he just tries to stop eggman from doing the bad things he likes to do In sonic heroes, sonic reads the threatening message from eggman at the start of the game and looks at it like an invitation to a party, and at the end of the game, after beating neo metal, he just bounces, telling him to let him know when he wants a rematch. Sonic is more concerned with doing what he wants (which, as it happens, is always the "right" thing to do (assuming it's not purely recreational)) than bringing justice upon his foes. He doesn't think himself better or worse than anyone because he doesn't care, but if he sees someone doing something he doesn't like, he's gonna have something to say about it.

No disrespect to any creators/writers/fans, but if they are going to keep saying that IDW Sonic is the same Sonic from the games, then he needs to be written and characterized like Game Sonic. To those who say Game Sonic is already an inconsistent character, none of the shifts in personality from game to game (especially in Japanese) are as contradictory as IDW Sonic. The same complaint applies to Sonic Prime. Game Sonic does not have principles/chivalry/code he does things on a whim. Game Sonic can be forgiving/not kill and be merciless/kill becausehe has nuance. Game Sonic would not believe Eggman or Metal would change of their own free will. Game Sonic is ok with being a bad guy and is stated to not think of himself as a hero. Game Sonic can put up and shut up like he did with Infinite/Biolizard/Solaris/Dark Gaia/The End/The Zeti/Black Arms/Erazor/King Arthur. Not once did he worry about their freedom or potential to reform or fight/argue with anyone else over that. IDW Sonic said he has principles. He's written like a comic book superhero, so he's against killing he believes that Eggman will change and expected Metal to change. IDW Sonic feels like a modified Archie Sonic more in line with the Games, but it's still not accurate. IDW Sonic also feels too meta with Surge trying to be friends with her because that's how almost every rival to Sonic ends up. For those who think that these principles are a good flaw or makes good character development, Sonic is not going through any character development because he is a mostly static mascot character and they would never put such development in a tie in comic over a game. It's not like the writers want or can have Sonic suddenly be ruthless or change drastically. As for principles being a flaw, Sonic already has flaws they were shown in the Unleashed opening, the storybook games, and Frontiers.

I love how you say inconsistencies between games don't matter but then completely dismiss his in-game characterization to say he does everything on a whim when multiple games lay out that he actually DOES have principles he consistently follows, at least within the context of the individual games. Regardless, Sonic has NEVER killed a sentient being, this isn't something you can point to as him having done in the games as it'd simply never happened, and in this context not only has IDW not changed his characterization, it made SENSE of it, taking his stated principles from Black Knight and applying them logically to all his actions in the other games. It's really funny how you imply that IDW Sonic just.. doesn't fight his enemies, or something, "Game Sonic can put up and shut up" and all that, when that's literally consistently how IDW Sonic acts, never once not fighting someone who is a danger to others, him only not fighting Tinker and initially not fighting Surge because neither were a danger to others, with Tinker being helpful to his community and being a genuinely good person no less, with him fighting Surge the second she became a danger to others and him intimidating Surge into not stepping out of line when she comes back "reformed" as he in fact doesn't just blindly trust people and knows not to blindly trust people who've shown themselves capable of hurting others maliciously. Further, no, the only Sonic that's written as a comic book superhero is movie Sonic, what with his love of authority and the upholding of laws, whereas IDW and generally game Sonic is the exact opposite, him holding only disrespect for authority and breaking any and every law he sees fit, especially as IDW Sonic's outlook is him valuing freedom above all else, him fighting all of his villains because they jeopardize the freedoms of others, with him absolutely willing to fight governments to do so. Game and IDW Sonic don't care if laws are broken, they care if people get hurt, and you can call that a hero, but it ain't a superhero. Also, uh.. you know IDW Sonic's flaws, him letting villains go, are present within the games completely consistently, right? In every game with a sentient main villain Sonic never once kills them, this isn't a new flaw present within IDW Sonic, this is a flaw from all the games that IDW points out and criticizes. The only thing IDW adds is a consistent logical basis for Sonic's flaws, it doesn't add new flaws, and managing to ground a cartoon character with real principles and ideology actual people have is, I'd say, pretty impressive.

Also, they should just fix/lean more to things in nowadays sonic like: Nature vs Technology Freedom The real sonic doesn't make fun of others, except for knuckles. And when does, he's talking in serious tone with serious altitude (except for k n u c k). The real sonic doesn't weightlessly reference his past.

Like he just lets Eggman go but Zavok and his goons get a 1 way trip to a giant open air prison. This is actually part of why the big talk in issue 50 was a complete crap shoot because IDW Sonic already was shown to be willing to put people into prison and so dramatically restrict there freedom twice already (never forget the Skunks in issue 3) Exclusively Eggman and Metal Sonic get to be Evil to the max and be treated lightly by Sonic. Which makes very little sense really and almost feels like that is just Ian's fanboying over Eggman insuring nothing to bad happens to him (because Evan's Sonic was fine in having Eggman explode in a big away at the end of Urban Warfare).

Of course, Eggman refuses still, and then Sonic says he’s gonna lock Eggman up. So no, Sonic is not “soft” on Eggman in the IDW comics.

The deal with surge... sonic was treating her like the villain of the week after she info dumped him on exactly *all* of her issues with him, and it doesn't help that she's actually *right* about her gripes with sonic Surge's existence is fundamentally impossible if we used 2000s sonic characterization, but let's pretend it's not and I'll adjust the interaction to what I think should've happened: Sonic would express actual sympathy. He'd understand why she's upset with him and not condemn her for it, but he would *also* make it clear that he's not gonna compromise his beliefs for anyone or any reason. If surge asks him why he does what he does, sonic would just tell her that he doesn't really think too hard about it, he just does what he thinks is right Again, Surge fundamentally wouldn't exist with 2000s sonic, but I hope my attempt to bring him a bit more in line with who he should be helped to show the difference

I get what people are saying with IDW Sonic being "too merciful", but at the same time, it's not too out of character as shown in the games. In Sonic Adventure, Sonic is the one that talks about how Chaos' turmoil won't vanish if he's sealed away inside the Master Emerald, and is the one to go against sealing him. In Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic talks to Merlina before fighting, asking why did she do all of this, and wondering why she's done everything she did despite wanting to save the kingdom. Although, in Sonic IDW, Sonic acts like he needs a moral reason to have his enemies keep living. In these comics, they make it seem like Sonic is always waiting for Eggman to turn back, but the games mostly shows that Eggman runs away any chance he gets, and Sonic loves the thrill of the chase and the battles from Eggman and knows that Eggman isn't one to turn into a good guy. Sonic rants to Metal Sonic in the comics about staying one-note and staying at Eggman's side, being mad that he didn't stay good. This here just makes no sense coming from Sonic considering the other times Metal Sonic was given free-will from Eggman. In Heroes, he still was being overall bad and wanting to do things his way. And in the comics during Battle for Angel Island, it's clear that Metal Sonic still serves the Eggman Empire and works for Eggman (it's literally said in his opening speech to Sonic in #7). So, yeah, that's just stupid. With Surge, the comics make it all about Sonic and his morals (which IDW really tries to keep explaining for some reason) rather than actually having Sonic try to at least wonder what's going on with her ala the Merlina pre-battle cutscene. Sonic also acts super pretenous and acting like this the same old shtick that is like Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, and Blaze. But, he should know that not everyone he fights is going to go onto his side (like the Babylon Rogues. Heck, Shadow only really has mutual respect for him anyways.), and with the super pretenous way he's going at it, it's even less likely that she would willingly work with him in the slightest. Sonic being forgiving works in certain situations, but I've gotta admit that he can be a little too expecting of everyone being good in the comics. I like the way Ian writes the characters sometimes, but they're defintiely not perfect, and have some flaws that don't make sense for the character to make. Just wanted to throw my badly written 5 dollars in the conversation since a bunch of comments are talking about it.

Sonics philosophy is about letting people live freely as they wish. And if that freedom should interfere with other people's freedoms, he's gonna stop it plain and simple.
Sonic only let Eggman go because he lost his memories and was a different person. And Surge was kidnapped and brainwashed into who she is now. When it comes to his other enemies, Sonic doesn’t try to reason with them. Unless it’s a Knuckles or Blaze type situation, where they’re not actually evil.

I respect Sonic's decisions but from my point of view, the villains in these comics really have nothing to learn. The one who should learn the lesson there is Sonic.

@@TaypokemonMaekawa is the bar for a lot of fans. Not just in terms of plot, but specifically how he has a lot of the characters express themselves with a lot of the more open ended, shonen style/anime-isms the series had. Flynn isn't cutting it, in that regard. Whether it's simply cultural differences or even because he doesn't want to write them in that fashion, it's valid to not like his writing for that. He's not awful though, and has some neat ideas. It's very much like One Piece the Anime/Manga vs One Piece Live Action; it gets the general broad strokes but sands down or over explains aspects that don't really need it, depending who you ask.
I'm not going to deny Sonic is too preachy in IDW, but I feel like people take it out of context sometimes. The reason he pulls this on Eggman is because he saw the potential good in him because of Mr. Tinker, which to his credit is not entirely misplaced given how Eggman treats Sage in Frontiers. With Surge, he saw that she was a victim, someone who was abused and put into circumstances that nobody would reasonably want. He didn't pull this with Neo Metal Sonic, or Starline, or Zavok. So far he's only pulled this with people he thinks *can* do good. I get why this upsets people, and I certainly hope they tone it down in later issues. But I think people exaggerate it just a bit.

Sonic just severely underestimated what Neo said about Eggman removing the rebelliousness from his programming. If Metal Sonic was thrown into a situation like Mecha Sonic's, he might have changed. But we can't know for certain. I'm not going to deny it was a horrific gamble, but in Sonic's defense he didn't know Metal was going to be what brought Eggman's memories back.

@@Peashamactually I disagree with the "him always sparing his villains" part. Sonic doesn't care what his enemies do with their lives, it's not his problem. Cream in episode 1 of sonic X said it best: sonic doesn't "get in eggman's way", he just tries to stop eggman from doing the bad things he likes to do In sonic heroes, sonic reads the threatening message from eggman at the start of the game and looks at it like an invitation to a party, and at the end of the game, after beating neo metal, he just bounces, telling him to let him know when he wants a rematch. Sonic is more concerned with doing what he wants (which, as it happens, is always the "right" thing to do (assuming it's not purely recreational)) than bringing justice upon his foes. He doesn't think himself better or worse than anyone because he doesn't care, but if he sees someone doing something he doesn't like, he's gonna have something to say about it.

Great idea
No disrespect to any creators/writers/fans, but if they are going to keep saying that IDW Sonic is the same Sonic from the games, then he needs to be written and characterized like Game Sonic. To those who say Game Sonic is already an inconsistent character, none of the shifts in personality from game to game (especially in Japanese) are as contradictory as IDW Sonic. The same complaint applies to Sonic Prime. Game Sonic does not have principles/chivalry/code he does things on a whim. Game Sonic can be forgiving/not kill and be merciless/kill becausehe has nuance. Game Sonic would not believe Eggman or Metal would change of their own free will. Game Sonic is ok with being a bad guy and is stated to not think of himself as a hero. Game Sonic can put up and shut up like he did with Infinite/Biolizard/Solaris/Dark Gaia/The End/The Zeti/Black Arms/Erazor/King Arthur. Not once did he worry about their freedom or potential to reform or fight/argue with anyone else over that. IDW Sonic said he has principles. He's written like a comic book superhero, so he's against killing he believes that Eggman will change and expected Metal to change. IDW Sonic feels like a modified Archie Sonic more in line with the Games, but it's still not accurate. IDW Sonic also feels too meta with Surge trying to be friends with her because that's how almost every rival to Sonic ends up. For those who think that these principles are a good flaw or makes good character development, Sonic is not going through any character development because he is a mostly static mascot character and they would never put such development in a tie in comic over a game. It's not like the writers want or can have Sonic suddenly be ruthless or change drastically. As for principles being a flaw, Sonic already has flaws they were shown in the Unleashed opening, the storybook games, and Frontiers.

I love how you say inconsistencies between games don't matter but then completely dismiss his in-game characterization to say he does everything on a whim when multiple games lay out that he actually DOES have principles he consistently follows, at least within the context of the individual games. Regardless, Sonic has NEVER killed a sentient being, this isn't something you can point to as him having done in the games as it'd simply never happened, and in this context not only has IDW not changed his characterization, it made SENSE of it, taking his stated principles from Black Knight and applying them logically to all his actions in the other games. It's really funny how you imply that IDW Sonic just.. doesn't fight his enemies, or something, "Game Sonic can put up and shut up" and all that, when that's literally consistently how IDW Sonic acts, never once not fighting someone who is a danger to others, him only not fighting Tinker and initially not fighting Surge because neither were a danger to others, with Tinker being helpful to his community and being a genuinely good person no less, with him fighting Surge the second she became a danger to others and him intimidating Surge into not stepping out of line when she comes back "reformed" as he in fact doesn't just blindly trust people and knows not to blindly trust people who've shown themselves capable of hurting others maliciously. Further, no, the only Sonic that's written as a comic book superhero is movie Sonic, what with his love of authority and the upholding of laws, whereas IDW and generally game Sonic is the exact opposite, him holding only disrespect for authority and breaking any and every law he sees fit, especially as IDW Sonic's outlook is him valuing freedom above all else, him fighting all of his villains because they jeopardize the freedoms of others, with him absolutely willing to fight governments to do so. Game and IDW Sonic don't care if laws are broken, they care if people get hurt, and you can call that a hero, but it ain't a superhero. Also, uh.. you know IDW Sonic's flaws, him letting villains go, are present within the games completely consistently, right? In every game with a sentient main villain Sonic never once kills them, this isn't a new flaw present within IDW Sonic, this is a flaw from all the games that IDW points out and criticizes. The only thing IDW adds is a consistent logical basis for Sonic's flaws, it doesn't add new flaws, and managing to ground a cartoon character with real principles and ideology actual people have is, I'd say, pretty impressive.

This is a rather strange thing actually in that Ian writes Sonic on a near consistent bases to hate Zavok far more than Eggman. Like he just lets Eggman go but Zavok and his goons get a 1 way trip to a giant open air prison. This is actually part of why the big talk in issue 50 was a complete crap shoot because IDW Sonic already was shown to be willing to put people into prison and so dramatically restrict there freedom twice already (never forget the Skunks in issue 3) Exclusively Eggman and Metal Sonic get to be Evil to the max and be treated lightly by Sonic. Which makes very little sense really and almost feels like that is just Ian's fanboying over Eggman insuring nothing to bad happens to him (because Evan's Sonic was fine in having Eggman explode in a big away at the end of Urban Warfare).

Of course, Eggman refuses still, and then Sonic says he’s gonna lock Eggman up. So no, Sonic is not “soft” on Eggman in the IDW comics.

Game sonic has no sympathy or respect for metal, so letting him go made no sense. The deal with surge... sonic was treating her like the villain of the week after she info dumped him on exactly *all* of her issues with him, and it doesn't help that she's actually *right* about her gripes with sonic Surge's existence is fundamentally impossible if we used 2000s sonic characterization, but let's pretend it's not and I'll adjust the interaction to what I think should've happened: Sonic would express actual sympathy. He'd understand why she's upset with him and not condemn her for it, but he would *also* make it clear that he's not gonna compromise his beliefs for anyone or any reason. If surge asks him why he does what he does, sonic would just tell her that he doesn't really think too hard about it, he just does what he thinks is right Again, Surge fundamentally wouldn't exist with 2000s sonic, but I hope my attempt to bring him a bit more in line with who he should be helped to show the difference

I get what people are saying with IDW Sonic being "too merciful", but at the same time, it's not too out of character as shown in the games. In Sonic Adventure, Sonic is the one that talks about how Chaos' turmoil won't vanish if he's sealed away inside the Master Emerald, and is the one to go against sealing him. In Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic talks to Merlina before fighting, asking why did she do all of this, and wondering why she's done everything she did despite wanting to save the kingdom. Although, in Sonic IDW, Sonic acts like he needs a moral reason to have his enemies keep living. In these comics, they make it seem like Sonic is always waiting for Eggman to turn back, but the games mostly shows that Eggman runs away any chance he gets, and Sonic loves the thrill of the chase and the battles from Eggman and knows that Eggman isn't one to turn into a good guy. Sonic rants to Metal Sonic in the comics about staying one-note and staying at Eggman's side, being mad that he didn't stay good. This here just makes no sense coming from Sonic considering the other times Metal Sonic was given free-will from Eggman. In Heroes, he still was being overall bad and wanting to do things his way. And in the comics during Battle for Angel Island, it's clear that Metal Sonic still serves the Eggman Empire and works for Eggman (it's literally said in his opening speech to Sonic in #7). So, yeah, that's just stupid. With Surge, the comics make it all about Sonic and his morals (which IDW really tries to keep explaining for some reason) rather than actually having Sonic try to at least wonder what's going on with her ala the Merlina pre-battle cutscene. Sonic also acts super pretenous and acting like this the same old shtick that is like Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, and Blaze. But, he should know that not everyone he fights is going to go onto his side (like the Babylon Rogues. Heck, Shadow only really has mutual respect for him anyways.), and with the super pretenous way he's going at it, it's even less likely that she would willingly work with him in the slightest. Sonic being forgiving works in certain situations, but I've gotta admit that he can be a little too expecting of everyone being good in the comics. I like the way Ian writes the characters sometimes, but they're defintiely not perfect, and have some flaws that don't make sense for the character to make. Just wanted to throw my badly written 5 dollars in the conversation since a bunch of comments are talking about it.

Ya know what? Can we just say IDW Sonic and Game Sonic are completely different interpretations of the character already?
He when strike to the point. XD
F. That hurts.
I've always read the IDW Sonic bits like Optimus Prime or Superman. He's not being naive. He's being strong enough to be gentle. Trying to find a peaceful way out before throwing hands if it comes to it

Optimus and Superman wouldn't let a guy who created a techno-necro virus that almost wiped out all life on the planet get off Scot-free, and you KNOW it. It was stupid even for Sonic.
Bayverse and tfp optimus: *facepalm* Bayverse and tfp tangle: *sighs*
Ngl though, black knight was Jason Griffith’s best sonic to this day. Plus I’d notice this what happened when po tried to reason with the chameleon in kp4.
Any chance you can one based on a Fanart where Amy Sonia(Sonics Sister)?
I guess I'm not really one to talk since I'm neutral towards IDW Sonic but this is really funny either way
Well got dark quickly
not harassment ian flynn good joke
Well at least he tried
Meanwhile Archie Sonic: *dropping yet another egg themed space station in his base(d) form* DESU EGGA DA! Black Knight: *desperately unleashes flurry of attacks* Sonic: "Too Late! You Pushed My "Limits" Button!" *Starts punching the Death Egg* Black Knight: *Even more attacks* Sonic: "CRUSH YOU! JUST LIKE MY LIMITS!"
The black Knight: I understand where you’re coming from but I have a giant sword that hasn’t been used for a little while so 0:27

YOU SEE THAT ITS AN AMPHIBIA REFERENCE TOO!?!!!!!?!??!!!!!!
OUCH! Shees!Man! This.. This.. Oouuh My god! But definitive
I know this is a joke but I don't think idw sonic would do this. I think the fake king author can be lumped with solaris, time eater and the END where they need to be stoped.

Yeah, this video's a masterclass in bad faith, IDW Sonic never doesn't fight a villain when they're a danger to people.
