Akinori Nishiyama did a good job holding the franchise together as a producer after Yuji Naka left but then Nishiyama himself was promoted to a higher position in 2010 and then Takashi Iizuka had to takeover and that's when the franchise sank in quality and not even Frontiers has recovered the franchise to 2000s levels of quality

I doubt he would stop even if he married.
He either would leave for days and then return, or it would be a funny situation where she lives in his base and cooks for him. But my personal preference is a Wuthering Heights situation where they love each other but can't be together, because Eggman put his dream above everything.

You just know that if Ian Flynn tried to get Shadow to forget about Maria and her dying request for Shadow to protect Planet Earth under the excuse that “he needs a character beyond Maria”, Iizuka would’ve absolutely prevented it from happening but since Amy’s the victim, Iizuka doesn’t care. His double standards infuriate me

When it comes to other characters, Iizuka usually nods his head, but if someone suggests Shadow get over Maria, make Rouge and Omega his BFFs, be more emotionally vulnerable, and smile more, Iizuka grabs their neck and lifts them up while keeping his croaked toothed grin and raughs "That's such a funny joke, gaijin-san!" as they choke to death.

>>563808710
The way Iizuka is letting Ian Flynn get away with removing Amy’s love for Sonic gives me the impression that Japanese men are incapable of feeling romantic love and just see interpersonal relationships as involving only respect and authority without any intimacy or selfishness. Parents barely show any physical or verbal affection to their children over there as well.

It already has. It's "canon" and most Sonic material now has just been shilling IDW and the stuff that isn't (Blade of Courage) is deemed non-canon by the Lore Team even though it would contradict nothing in the games (It's because the Lore Team isn't involved in it).

That last passage about the "platonic ideal of Sonic" was utterly pathetic. The entire argument boils down to people basing their fanfiction, fanart, and other fanworks on the games. How is that a bad thing? In what world could it possibly be a bad thing for people to try and be faithful to something they love. Because they're not looking to Archie or fucking Sonic Underground as a reference for writing and characterization? Oh the horror. Those gosh damn JP purists right? How dare they like the video games more than the things that aren't video games.

>the fact that the latest mainline game before Prime is Sonic Frontiers and that there hasn't been a mainline game released after it
And it's precisely because of that. Everything is happening at a snails pace despite all the talk of a unified Sonic vision. If Prime were still going now with new episodes, people would take that more seriously. If a new main game was released and much sooner (not kart slop), people would take Prime more seriously when its characters or magic gems showed up

There is zero differences between Sonic and Amy's pre-existing relationship and what Sonic and Amy would be like in a Committed relationship, Amy would still chase after Sonic to join in on his adventures and would still have to be unwittingly forced to go out on a date night.

Seeing this op and some people memeing about Cream being Eggman's daughter made me remember this.
Someone was trying to promote their weird project about a youtube comic with voices, and in this comic, Cream was a Genius hacker and Eggman's daughter or something along those lines. What happened to it? I know some people were angry about Rouge's voice being a man.

Most people use the auto translation for when Naka said he was uncomfortable about Amy. This was his exact word choice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanpa
He is implying that Sonic has no interest in such things and that Amy made it seem like he did.

you can translate it any way you want, naka said Amy made Sonic look like a flirty pick up artist whore
中 『ソニックCD』と言えばエミー・ローズが登場しますけど、僕らアメリカにいた側からすると、それがナンパに思えたんですよ。ソニックのガールフレン ドとしては、すでにグラマラスな大人の人間女性“マドンナ”が設定されてい たんですね。それがあったので、すごく違和感を覚えた記憶がありますね。

Second paragraph above Madonna's face. Naka definitively believes Sonic being a flirt is OOC.

In fact, they all think Sonic is aromantic or whatever. All of them no exceptions. They will literally send mandates saying Sonic doesn't care about romance because he doesn't.

So being a pedo is accepted on Japan? Sure feels like it. Even if they get arrested on charges of physical sexual against a child, they get off with fines, suspended sentences, or prison time that only lasts less than a year. What a garbage society

>Prime is more important than IDW
It really isn't. It did better and it reached more eyes by value of netflix, but that doesn't mean all future stories are going to revolve around the shatterverse or the new shiny power rock. It's a mainly self-contained story and it doesn't really have other characters other than the copies of the cast that existed. IDW despite not being a major product, has more power to shape the franchise because it can introduce new characters, locations and groups. It's not contained to a singular story, it's multiple. We might get something using the shatterverse/prism in the future, but all of those future somethings can include idw shit.

is still crazy to me that the author of rurouni kenshin just got a slap in the wrist for being discovered that he had mountains of cp on his house, they still got the greenlight to make a remake anime of his manga. Like drawing and liking lolicon is one thing, even owning that material somewhere in your house, but this guy had a massive collection of real kids, makes me mad that everyone is still friendly with him

I'm very familiar with that story. He admitted in court that he had a sexual interest in girls aged 10-14. It's very common for a pedo to get off easy in Japan and sadly, Nobuhiro Watsuki getting a slap on the wrist is not the only example. CP possession was legal in Japan until 2015.

Until Sonic Team/Sega decides it isn't anymore. The error in your reasoning is that you expect Sonic Team/Sega to be consistent when, historically, that has not been the case. Whether its the Japanese branch butting heads with the American branch or just strife in Sonic Team, nothing is guaranteed to be consistent.
See the Evan Stanley quote about Sonic Rivals not being canon only for Sonic Team to change their minds when they realized it was written by Iizuka and would have brought great shame upon them for disrespecting the boss like that.

Even worse, it is believed the rates of child sexual abuse in Japan are higher than what appears on the statistics since a lot of the children feel ashamed and pressured to not report it to the authorities.

You sound like those alphabet activist nut jobs who say, "You're homophobic? You must be secretly gay". These clowns who live in a bubble can't handle the fact that there are people who are opposed to what they do so they have to cope by accusing their opponents of secretly liking what they do.

"Canon" does not exist. Canon in the corporate world means "this is important right now to the vision. All it means is there is something to shill NOW and trash to put away later until it's convenient to sell again. Tikal, Chaos, Emerl, Sticks, IDW characters, Barry, and whatever future characters they create: they'll always be canon but they'll all be put away when it's convenient

What both of you fail to realize is that things are decided by audience favoritism. If something is liked enough, they will change it to being canon. IDW stuff won't get suddenly removed if it ends, it only will if people stop liking the characters and content it brought to the series.
Sticks didn't make it far enough to get out of purgatory, she is not shilled enough by fans to convince Sega to make her major again and she has the flaw of not having a properly integrated role in the modern universe. The IDW characters don't have that problem because they're existence is tied to a comic that uses the main games as framework. Sticks only has lore in an alternate continuity hence all of Ian's attempts to pitch something for her here and failing. She doesn't have an outlined place in the modern universe despite technically existing.

This is true with maybe exception of Surge, but that can change depending on how much sega, sonic team, lore team shill these characters and what happens with them in the time until partnership with IDW ends. Not much really changed over the 7 years of the comic's run, but that was a niche comic where normies won't engage with it. We're in uncharted territories now that they're showing up in things normies actually interact with.

No they didn't and besides that Archie's core problem is that it is an alternate continuity. The whole reason IDW got this far, regardless of the inconsistencies, regardless of how anyone feels about characterizations, is because it's universe is built off the games. Archie's foundation is a spinoff universe tv show, Boom's foundation and by extension Sticks is part of a spinoff universe. It's not ingrained into the main universe.
Prime and IDW get the hey you can stay by sega because for them canon is what follows the brand. Prime shows rings and green hill so it's "like the games" so it's canon. They don't care about the inconsistencies, they care that it looks at a surface level like the games. I'm willing to bet money that Blade of Courage will become canon at some point after it's wrapped up too since it uses game continuity for its settings.

That's not the same though. It's not that IDW is "too big to ignore" it's how it's actually being integrated into games and modern media content in ways Archie never got. It's harder to ignore something when it's already there. And I can hear you trying to bring up Sticks again, but she never got proper integration into the main universe like the idw characters.
>Yet even when they rewrote Archie to be in line with the game
Rewriting archie to be more like the games wasn't going to work because it's foundation is still not the games. How many other ways can I say this before you understand the point? Super genesis wave was just a compromise to keep past archie still part of the overarching storyline while settling the lawsuits with Penders.
Tangle, Whisper, Lanolin, the rest, has a place in the universe built off of Sonic Forces, an actual game, which gives them a place and period in the universe they can originate from. Sticks doesn't have that. Archie doesn't have that.

>She did actually
She didn't actually, because that namedrop doesn't actually establish anything. Like I mentioned earlier, there's a reason Ian had to make several pitches for her because nothing about her modern universe counterpart exists in writing. She exists, but in what capacity is not written out.
Tangle and Whisper are easy, they joined the resistance created in Sonic Forces that later became the restoration and met Sonic and friends and from there all of idw (and casefiles) showcases the dynamic and how they work in regular stories alongside the main cast.
Modern universe Sticks doesn't have that, no origin, no official dynamics with the cast, all we have on paper is that she's friends with Amy as holdover from Boom, but that's a different version of Amy. Ian himself said he was just trying to get something started with her by namedropping in Frontiers, hoping to capitalize and maybe create that dynamic with her and Amy and Cream, but that never came to pass since Sega blocked him and all his other pitches like having it be that she was on angel island this whole time and no one noticed. Sticks does not have what the rest of the idw characters do.
