Maybe I'll do more in-depth looks at the Sonic franchise if people like that.
Throw me some ideas.
I'd be down for it as well.
My suggestions for characters would be:
- The Chaotix crew
- Fang
- Cream
- Sage (and her supposed 'impact' on Eggman.)
As for games, my suggestions are:
- Sonic Secret Rings & Black Knight. (They have good art direction and some decent drama in scenes, but the gameplay is all over the place imo.)
- Tails Adventures (One of the few character-specific spinoffs worth playing. It isn't anything grand but it's a decent enough game on it's own.)
- Sonic Rush Adventure (Decent enough game but the ship parts grinding can be kind of cumbersome)
My own inputs regarding grievances with certain characters including the ones I listed for suggestions:
Amy: While Flynn's treatment of Amy's characterization is annoying, I also take issue with how she was written in Sonic X and how it directly bled into a good couple of games during the 2000's that featured her. X changed her demeanor to being very easily agitated and resorting to physical violence when either her friends seriously question her judgement or when Sonic typically hesitates in response to her advances. (Heroes, Advance 3, Battle, Rush, Free Riders)
I guess they did it so Cream's whole 'kind and pure-hearted'-personality schtick stands out more and adjusted Amy as such to differentiate it, but this didn't do Amy any real favors in terms of actually making her more likable even if it did add to some nice comedic moments here and there in X like when she kicked that Elmyra Duff-expy across the train.
Chaotix: I get that they're mostly meant as slight comedic relief characters in the series, but I swear that past Heroes they're hardly allowed to ever be actually cool characters and get mandated to suffer misfortune after misfortune. X likewise didn't do Vector's characterization in particular any real favors as he frequently blows common sense and advice out of the window in favor of wanting to stubbornly simp for Vanilla and make things worse, and yes, not a fan of how the simping for a rabbit mom who barely appears in the games after what was it, Rush? Bled into other official media as well.
Fang/Nack: It's a odd choice why Fang's seemingly locked into this dumb 'classic continuity-only' situation as from my perspective his wealth-obsessions and wild card-alignment would make him one of the more interesting recurring antagonists besides Eggman and Metal Sonic or a unlikely ally depending on the situation, but I guess with Rouge around to mostly fulfill that quota (even though she's hardly a real antagonist in the majority of her appearances) they figured he was kind of redundant.
Cream: My only real pet peeve with Cream is how I always see some sources claim she's 'shy and nervous' about confrontations when I hardly see anything of that in the games she appears in, unless someone can enlighten me as to why, or is this a bogus bullshit thing?
Sage: I get that Sage's supposed to be a character mostly meant for Frontiers but her continued existence in other media gives very worrying impressions regarding Eggman's characterization. Having Eggman actually genuinely care for one of his creations and wanting to 'soften him' clashes heavily with what makes Eggman an entertaining egomaniac in that he only cares for his creations as a means to an end, as demonstrated with Gamma's story in SA1.
For as much as Eggman praises his competence in his assignments he still abandons Gamma to either kill or distract Sonic in order to buy time for himself to get away.
Anyway sorry for the rambling, would be curious to hear your input if you'd be so generous.
