Sonic's Animated Netflix Outing Won't Be Based On The IDW Comic Series

Considering how terrible MoA’s Mega Man show is, I don’t have high hopes for this. A Sonic Boom season 3 would’ve been good though, that show was golden.

Here is my full opinion on this matter; ew.

I really love sonic so I'm hoping oh God plz make this show good and at least worth watching, i'm glade it doesn't do the comic books they got pretty dark.

I like the Sonic Boom show. Its actually quite funny and has nods to Sonic's meme status and some of the crazier elements of his fanbase. Its definitely self aware and is basically a sitcom.

@Clyde_Radcliffe It does what nintendon't.

@TheLightSpirit You haven't seen a bad streaming service until you've seen Peacock.

WildBrain happens to be the current owner of DiC Entertainment’s entire library of shows, including all three Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons from 1990s! Talk about going full circle!

3D-animated doesn't sound all that good.

@NoLife Sonic Boom was 3D animated and it was good.And so was night of the werehog.Sonic looks bad in the 3D only when he gets ugly redesigns.

Sonic Boom just got "it", it really did. It knew it was ridiculous, and it embraced it. Would prefer another season of that

Also...why still no Sonic Boom Season 2 on DVD?

@Randomname19 I grew up with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Maybe it's an age-thing, but I feel that most 3D-animated tv-series is lacking something, can't really explain what.

TL;DR

Bad UI and design, annoyingly broken fast forward and rewind buttons, extremely long ads, only two seasons of The Office, terrible "continue watching" feature.

@TheLightSpirit On the Android app, when I click the fast forward or rewind buttons, it goes the opposite direction instead of the intended direction. And the ads are too much. One minute long unskippable ad breaks are stupid, and when I go back, and ad will always play again. And sometimes it just goes to the beginning randomly or the continue watching feature is way off, as in like 5 minutes off, which is bad for films, and means MORE ads. Peacock has good shows, but inexcusable UI. To be fair, I was using the free version of peacock, but that doesn't make the terrible UI acceptable. I just gave up with watching The Office on Peacock and I'm just using a VPN to watch it on Netflix. Peacock could've been great, I could have even subscribed to the service if I enjoyed using it. But no. Peacock can go suck a--

@NoLife 3D animation does have less personality than 2D one,aside from a few exceptions,but its not bad.

So if it's not based on the IDW comic book series, will it be based on the Archie comic book series?

For a series as bright and dynamic as Sonic they sure found a way to suck the life out of it in Boom, but even so I don't think IDW is the way to go.

Remember how long ago there was a rumor of a "movie tie-in game"? Maybe this show is tied to that.

Is it based on Sonic Adventure?

Would love some new OC's.
But I also would like if would explore sonic characters like the main trio. Often find iconic sonic characters in the background with little to do because new OC.

@Noid Well, they could make it like Boom but I'd rather have more Boom than make another Sonic show that acts like Boom.

This new one might be based off the animated Sonic Mania or Sonic Racing mini-series. But in truth, I would have loved an IDW adaptation.

@Snatcher Being dark is why they are appealing. However, the show does not need to be dark but have moments that show there are serious stakes or actual lessons learned. I love slap stick but I don't want Sonic to be more Animaniacs.

@MysteryCupofJoe Same.

I hope it follows the Videogames lore a bit closer either classic and/or modern. Sonic X was very close but the 'alternate world' and with Chris Thorndyke getting too big of a rol was a bummer though it didn't ruin the Anime. The Japanese version is actually what makes it good cause 4kids took every ounce of 'maturity' out of the series, including the background music. They didn't even left 'Live and Learn' in at the end of SA2 saga.

I don't hate the article, I just hate that it's here.

@Mana_Knight I messaged the dvd distributor N Circle on facebook, they said season 2 dvds will be coming out this year!

This may sound like a Hot Take: But Archie, SATAM, AOSTH, & SU always felt SUPER disjointed from the games. it’s clear that Sonic Team has more control with Sonic X, Sonic Boom, and the IDW series. Clearly a mistake from SEGA of America back in the day.

@Twi Oh, fab! Thanks so much for telling me

@Zacattack99 To be fair to them, they had very little to work with for those series.

thank God it's not based on the IDW comics. For those out of the loop, they're not terrible, just really flawed

@NatiaAdamo, I know; I’m just glad to see Sonic Team is laying down the law with their lore, and with these projects always starting on a clean slate with their own rules, barely taking elements from other projects. (Ex: Sally Acorn, Freedom Fighters, Robotropolis being elements in both Archie comics and SATAM)

> Still not enough to make me want to subscribe to such a mediocre streaming service again
@TheLightSpirit just torrent it
