Sonic is supposed to be counterculture, so I guess make him politically incorrect and racist.

not an accurate comparison, you have to use the frontiers soap shoes model

nogs

SHONENKINO

WINDSPIRIT

Sonic is PUNK

"COUNTERCULTURE"

Mickey Mouse with hair gel

It's like hearing a Green Day fan saying they like how anti-establishment they are, despite being the most corporate radio shit out there.

What's "cool" changes every decade. That's always been Sonic's problem. What kids today think is cool isn't what kids in the 90s thought was cool.

Except Sonic was very firmly rooted in the anti-authority and anti-establishment culture of the 90s.

There was still a bit of that in the Adventure games, but after that, it was dropped and he became your standard shonen protagonist

it is an accurate comparison, those are the default models

death battle was a mistake

What's "cool" changes every decade.

Mostly due to forced demographic shifts and social reprogramming.

I don't think anyone is arguing that current sonic isn't corporate as hell, those phrases are describing a sonic from decades ago

No, it changes naturally. "Demographic shifts" aren't something that can be forced.

The culture changing every decade is something that just happens on its own. 90s Sonic isn't cool to anyone except people who grew up with that version of Sonic. And that applies to every version of Sonic. He's only cool if you grew up with him, otherwise he comes across as tryhard

ayo wtf i thought Knux was the nigga not the blue rat

who even thinks 2010s sonic is cool?

Sonic was cool when the franchise took influence from black culture, but now everything's watered down and we have shit like Sonic Rumble and the Movie variation of Sonic.

He's arguably THE mascot of the Genesis and Dreamcast, and the defacto face of Sega. I dunno how much 'corporate' you can get. He had cool art styles, from concepts to boxcovers but he's still a product ment to sell.

I'd argue the earliest signs of hard-core corporate corner cutting, was Heroes's plastic approach and game design.

Sterilized on the right. Long spines look way better. They also fucked it up with shadow as well now, his in 2 weren't completely upturned, but went off more to the side in a more wild way.

I think that anti authority anti establishment was just a SEGA of America thing, I think its more of a "hate being told what to do" kinda thing, Sonic is Free-Spirted

sonic is the white man, knux is the "every brown minority group is the same so just pull from their cultures who cares" in the eye of the jap developers

*Free-Spirited

this but unironically

isn't he peruvian

Sonic is like the complete opposite of Mickey Mouse. He's the Bugs Bunny to Mario's Mickey, the "edgier" opposite to their bland and squeaky-clean counterparts. And even Mickey wasn't always the bland corporate mascot he is now

whats lord x?

idk some .exe shit, i only saved it because of mj

.exe?

In character, sure, in design no. Classic Sonic is literally just spikier Mickey Mouse + Felix the Cat.

The scary Sonic with hyper-realistic blood creepypasta

"Demographic shifts" aren't something that can be forced.

Are you retarded? They've been forcing demographic shifts since the 60s.

SONICS

Look how the massacred my boy.

he looks inbred

He cares too much. Look at the lyrics for it doesn’t matter.

That's because he is, they've been using the same models since Unleashed but they've changed and downgraded so much he looks retarded now.

You're retarded

Cope.

He's like Eminem

He's like the New Coke! He'll be around forever!

Suits have no control over what kids think is cool

Anyone tired of Cory now?

sonic.exe already did

Nah, only Adam, Tomar and Lyle get on my nerves.

Disgusting Black Creatures CHADow would NEVER

Adam is dogshit for sure but Cory has been getting on my nerves which sucks because he used to be great. He's aping Chris too hard and trying to present himself as mature despite still being a mouthbreather. Something definitely changed about him and it's not fatigue either, I can still watch the 2019 videos and sleepycast cory and laugh but modern Cory sucks.

I find him annoying when he backseats in gaming sessions and is wrong, but he's still a pretty open mouth breather imo. Still even spouts Cory-isms.

you'd have to get rid of roger craig smith for starters

Sonic hanging out with black people is canon.

Roger has fuck-all to do with it, he didn't voice Sonic in Prime, but the direction was still the same.

These characters just have a "standard" voice that all actors are directed to imitate.

He's the same cory at his core but he's been developing random annoying quirks that's make him a bit more annoying to listen to. He's much more tolerable with Dave around though

That's a fake image.

We need Sonic characters sounding like cartoons again instead of shitty anime eng dubs. My choice for a new Sonic is Brain Drummond doing his Vegito voice from the Ocean dub of DBZ

They absolutely do, the 90s are proof of that.

The suits in the 90s were following trends, not setting them
