@StarstormSkies@BraviaGames@CometX_ing ...is getting your energy drained to the point where he cant stand not effectively the same as getting beaten to a pulp in this instance?
Anyone that responds to criticism of Sonic’s characterization with something along the lines of “that’s what I’d do in that scenario” does not understand Sonic’s character at all.
@DocRobeat9@sonicwacth97861@AdriWindGB Completely fair, but its an outlier. Seeing Sonic act like that to anything other than a nakama's explicit death will be weird to me
@DocRobeat9@sonicwacth97861@AdriWindGB In all of these, its clear that he has fallen victim to despair, but he never screams about it, even when he's seconds away from death. The issue isn't the fact that he's feeling emotion, its that the way he's expressing it feels off
@EmberFire5112 I like the idea of Sonic losing it but I feel like all the recent attempts to show that dont go far enough to provoke that sort of reaction from him in a believable way
The metal virus for example really wasn't as apocalyptic of a situation as the book wants you to think it is
@EmberFire5112 He obviously would get upset, but its a matter of delivery. He sounds too whiny. When hes under pressure he doesn't let his despair show he locks in
