My Idea for a continuation of the Fleetway Sonic Comic

I have seen Sonic the COmic Online, and kinda like it. However, it's lacking. The adaptations don't feel like the adaptations from the original STC. Here's what I would have done.

I would use the plot point of the evil council that replaced Robotnik. But I would expand it. It's members would be:

I: Robotnik
II: Vichama the Death Lord
III: Dr. Zachary
IV: E-102 Gamma
V: Fang the Sniper
VI:Captain Plunder
VII: Rouge the Bat
VIII: Shadow the Hedgehog
IX: Blaze the Cat
X:Tails Doll
XI: Omega
XII: Black Doom
XIII: Grimer
XIV: "Yellow Eyes"

The arc will be an adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Rush, and Sonic 06. The differences are that:

After the initial capture of Sonic and Shadow's awakening, Blaze is deployed to seduce Sonic in order to give his power fully.
Metal Sonic is reborn and builds Tails doll And Metal Knuckles.

The reason she's been villified is because Chaos was in STC's original run. But, it turns out that Blaze was merely brainwashed and manipulated. The same applies to Shadow and Rouge. It turns out that "Yellow Eyes" is actually none other than Silver. "Yellow Eyes" morphs into a redesigned Silver, who resembles Fleetway Chaos. Silver then uses the three as puppets to fight Sonic with. Silver ultimately goes to Angel Island, killing Porker Lewis. Rouge and Knuckles mourn his death. Silver then ultimately kills Shortfuse and Tekno, and hires the Babylon Rogues, ruthless mercenaries, to kill Sonic and capture Blaze. Silver re-brainwashes Blaze into becoming his bride. Silver takes her to Shannazar and tries to kill her there. Sonic saves her, but not before battling Erazor. Unfortunately, Shannazar is destroyed by Silver regardless. Silver then goes to Nameless Zone, and once again destroys it. Silver then is defeated by Sonic and Blaze on Mobius. Ultimately, Silver uses the Gray Emerald and becomes Iblis.

Iblis then kills Captain Plunder, Grimer, Dr. Zachary, Ebony, Pyjamas, Morain, Saff, Sol Furic, Simpson, Blockhead Bill, and every other surviving original character. Iblis then destroys Mobius and sends Sonic and Friends (and Robotnik and Fang) to Earth. Robotnik has mutated into his SATAM look and conquers the Earth. Sonic and company have to win Earth back from Robotnik. At the end, Robotnik sends Sonic and Blaze back to Mobius to confront Iblis. While battling Iblis, Blaze seems to have fallen to her death. Sonic then goes into Robotnik's secret hideout on Mobius, known as "The Last Spire of Mobius", where Blaze has been entombed. After killing Robotnik, Sonic finds that she was merely in a coma and kisses her back to life. 

Sonic Generations and the "Cargo Cult" Effect

Sonic Generations, on the outside, seems to be much like the classic Sonic games. The old Sonic design is usable, there's many of the old zones, enemies, and music,  the plot is back to simplicity, and even the gameplay seems to have returned. But in reality, the game is not very akin to the originals. First, lets take a good peek at the classic gameplay:

In the actual Genesis games, when Sonic rolled, he was able to use momentum based physics to gain speed. This is not present in Generations, where instead there are automatic running sections. Classic Sonic's top speed outisde of these sections is that of Mario. The stages of Classic have Mario-esque design. Second, another factor that turned some people off: Classic's cuteness.

In Sonic Generations, Classic Sonic uses the original japanese design, a creation heavily based on Felix the Cat:

Isn't he cute?

However, the gammes target demographic remembers the American deisgn more, which was edgy, radical, and somewhat inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:

Back in the 90's, some non fans thought he was a dinosaur

When Classic used the Japanese version in Generations, people were fine before the game came out, but when it did, they complained that he looked like a baby Sonic and needed to be edgy.

The same thing applies to Robotnik. In Japan, this visual approach was used:

I admit, this one is actually somewhat lame

American gamers, however, were on the reciveing end of this:

People were utterly dissapoitned by this. Some fans even hoped these guys would see the light, but no, they had to balk about these two.

The 8 Oddest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Action Figures

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Tutrles were an absolute hit in the 1980's. They spawned a lot of toys, including some... weird ones. That's what this article's about: Weird TMNT toys from the 1980's and 1990's.


8) Vernon Fenwick

In 1992, Playamtes launched the Toon Turtles line, a set of figures that would be much closer to the cartoon than the older toys, which were closer to the original comic. In addition, the line would feature characters from the show who did not have toys before that point, including the long-awaited Irma!

After seeing Irma Langenstein immortalized in plastic, children everywhere wondered who was going to come next! Would it be Lotus Blossom? The dastardly Don Turtelli? Krang before being seperated from his dinosaur-like body and placed in the Pillsbury Doughboy? 

No. Instead we got Vernon Fenwick. Most fans couldn't stand Vernon, so why him over Hamato Yoshi (pre-Retromutagen Ooze) or some of the recurring baddies that weren't available?


7) Clownin' Mike

One of the core aspects of the line was the countless variants of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There were Star Trek turtles, military turtles, and yes, clown turtles. Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and even April got their fair share as well. Surely, this one is in character (as he's the silliest) but it's still bizarre.

6) Bandito Michealangelo

I have noticed Michealangelo always gets the stupidest variants. Case in point: this. At least the eyes are like the cartoon...

5) Turtle Trolls

In order to capitalize on the Troll Doll craze that was just hitting, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Tutrles hybridized with trolls. Sure, it had been done before, with the Stone Protectors:

Not pictured. The villains. Also Opal. Because she was never released.

and the Battle Trolls:

This time, it was the turtles themselves doing it. Could you imagine Power Rangers trolls? Or Sonic trolls? (or Sonic with a Bieber bowl). Thankfully, no Shredder troll. However, an April O'Neil with hair like a Barbie was released.

4) Scratch

This guy right here is probably the most valuable figure in the whole line. He's not in any other material beyond the toys (which applied to a lot of characters), but is very similar to the Archie Comics villain Halocat. They are both bandit cats who were mutated from normal cats. If Scratch really is Halocat, why was there never a Ninjara figure? If he isn't, why is he so valuable? He's just another figure. Was he so hated that he was pulled, killing the chances for Ninjara and Armagrron toys? (outside of maybe the classics line or new versions in the Nickelodeon show) Was he a special promotional figure, never meant to be sold at normal retail?

3) Sumo Raphael

Not even the dark, grim Red Sky era was safe from stupid variants. Just look at Sumo Raphael.  He really lost himself. Check out that belly!

2) My First Turtles

The My First Turtles were an attempt to cash in on Water Babies and other such products. The box reads "He's warm, he's wiggly, he's a mutant turtle!" Lets hope there wasn't a My First Krang.


1) Burne Thompson

It's April O' Neil's boss. Eh? Why did he get a toy and not, say Lord Dregg?

Maybe because he was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles equivalent to Mephiles?

Or Ninjara?

She's actually becoming one of my favorites.

Or Armaggon?

Rawr!

There were dozens of awesome TMNT characters who were left toyless. But Burne Thompson did get a toy. He comes with such boring accessories as a sandwich, a press pass that does not fit on him, and a cameracorder. Burne's figure is just one giant "Why?" It is one of the greatest questions in the universe, going up there with "Where is Blaze from?" "What species is Yoda?"

Why Modern Sonic is not going away.

People say "Sonic Adventure 2 was the last good Sonic game, bring back Classic Sonic!" Sonic Adventure 2 had Modern Sonic. Thus, as long as you complain about SA2 being the last good Sonic game, Modern Sonic will stay.
