General Sonic is Terrible Thread

Eh, I actually dislike blue arms because tan arms are far easier to distinguish among his features from any sort of resolution or limitations; but that's just me. (It also ties the colors in nicely)

BlueBlur please man, use your Sarcasm Sharingan!





Unless... I'm not the one using my sarcasm detector on your sarcasm detector of the sarcasm in my initial post. FFFF

You know... just so you can get a good laugh...



I thought that shit was real.

His tan arms are to him what Mario's mustache is to Mario.

[Iceman404]

What's funny is if he had no mustache to begin with, giving him a mustache would be what causes a shitstorm.

The thing is, if he never had a mustache, his character design would reflect that. Mario wouldn't look like Mario-without-facial-hair because his design would hve catered to that visual aspect. By the same token, Sonic's character design is constructed to work with his arms being colored distinctly from his body.

My first post was just meant to be a joke about how some fans (not all of them) are just complaining because it's different, like complaining about blue overalls Mario compared to red overalls Mario. I wasn't commentating on the designs themselves. (Though I do prefer tan arms myself.)

Iceman makes a good point for him preferring one over the other. I doubt someone like CWC could make a coherent argument one way or the other.

You know, I've always wondered if back in the late 80's, there was a 30-year-old high functioning autistic man who just wouldn't have blue-overalls Mario. I'd like to imagine that man penned several dozen letters to Nintendo, criticizing them for changing Mario's overalls from blue to red and vandalized his local department stores' Super Mario Bros. 3 boxes by making slipcovers for the game to reflect this.



...yes

[Kriven]

... Super Mario Bros. 3 ...

The game where his in-game graphics depict black overalls and red shoes.

...yes

His name would be Waldo Clayton Worshaw. He would create Marimon, a Mario and Digimon crossover webcomic.

oh my god WCW sjdkaljkflhg

though if it was the 80's I don't think he'd create Marimon, Digimon didn't come until the mid-90's. he'd probably make like
Transformarios or something

Optimus Primeario, the rotund Italian sausage delivery truck who saves the Automushroom Kingdom from Bowmegatron. Help



..
and he'd "customize" cabbage patch kids with modeling clay to look like mario characters kfl;sdjhgkshgjk

I don't think the tan arms are all that important, especially now that Sonic uses 3D models instead of sprites.

The blue arms was and still is an issue with fans, as it was common with fan artists to do that mistake and be called out for it.
What was even worse, when we had Sega World in Australia. The designers seem to had no care with the art for Sonic. His arms were blue!
They also had Knuckles with a white muzzle, the AOSTH versions of Tails and Robotnik, and Sally Acorn, who really should've been Amy Rose
Yes, they featured a comic/tv exclusive female character instead of the one in the games for the artwork.


Honestly, he just looks off/ugly with blue arms. But just be glad that Boom is a spinoff separate from the official canon.
though really, it looks like it'll be short lived, due to how the games were the biggest flops the franchise has ever had.

... Bowmegatron.

Megatrowser.

I was gonna go with that one, the easy one

but then I couldn't unsee "mega trousers"

I didn't know Sega World Australia was even a thing, so I had to look it up and uh



wooooowwwwwwwww, I am so sorry
I'm sort of wondering if the SatAM show and Sega World had anything to do with one another


also i don't know, the Sonic Boom cartoon seems pretty decent and might just keep the whole shitty franchise spinoff afloat
