00:00Sonic and the Tales of Deception Story 2
00:02The narration makes a mystery out of the fact that tonight Sonic's really tired when it thinks he usually hates trying to sleep.
00:11He dreams of defeating Eggman once and for all, even though he likes when Eggman wreaks havoc because it keeps his life interesting.
00:20That's what the Sonic Channel comic said.
00:23Eggman had invented a long-range mind-control device. That's overpowered.
00:28It also reminds me of a story in Archie where a long-range time-freezing ray was used against a bunch of people.
00:35These novels are all about making Eggman make the most overpowered stuff ever.
00:40Eggman aims the device at, as the novel says, Sonic's home.
00:45And he sounds just as petty as Boom Eggman when he says the first phase of his plan is blasting sound waves that make Sonic unable to stay awake.
00:53That would have been intimidating if he was about to send killing machines after Sonic.
00:59He doesn't even have to mind-control anyone.
01:01He could just do this to all of his enemies and then send robots after them and win.
01:06This makes him look awesome.
01:08So much so that these are the kinds of inventions Eggman canonically shouldn't be able to make,
01:13because it'd make no sense for him not to win because of them.
01:17How can sending sound waves of the right frequency alter someone's brain when the brain doesn't register in long-term memory things that it's not conscious of?
01:27This kind of thing might be plausible if he used it against a robot, like Gemeral.
01:33If Gemeral's canon, why didn't he show up in Generations?
01:37He's really Emeril, who meant a lot to Sonic.
01:40Eggman must have used a magic jewel from an ancient ruin to make this device work.
01:45It sure takes a long time to get to the point where Sonic's being mind-controlled.
01:50It could have had it happen as soon as Sonic woke up from the noise.
01:55Why does Eggman think he needs to give Sonic training?
01:58Sonic's fought him long enough.
02:00He doesn't need training.
02:02That would still have been an issue where he had amnesia and worked for Eggman, too.
02:06This is an idiot ball to give the heroes enough time to stop them.
02:10Eventually, Amy and Knuckles burst into Tails' lab, apparently leaving the Master Emerald unguarded, to tell Tails the beach is under attack.
02:19If they were at the beach when it happened, they wouldn't have abandoned it.
02:23They wouldn't just have the news on 24-7 in front of their faces, just in case.
02:28What teenagers always watch the news?
02:31That'd be boring and depressing.
02:34Eggman must have sent a robot telling them to go to the beach so he could lure them into a trap.
02:38Tails' plane blasts the robots with laser cannons from above.
02:44Sonic forces the plane into a nosedive with its controls.
02:49Somehow, Sonic breaks from his trance for a moment and leaves the plane,
02:53just because Amy freaked out but didn't hit him with a hammer.
02:56Like, she's fine with doing in Sonic Riders.
03:01So a deus ex machina saves them instead of logic.
03:04It's not even powerful enough to permanently snap them out of it.
03:08So why doesn't he immediately go back to them?
03:11Somehow, Knuckles assumes the worst in Sonic instead of figuring that Eggman brainwashed him.
03:16Tails jumps to the conclusion that if they're gonna save Sonic when he's thinking like this,
03:21they need to learn how he's thinking by turning to Shadow.
03:24Could've just hit him with his shrink ring.
03:27Of course, the writer was too lazy to explain what Shadow was doing in his house when the heroes went up to him.
03:33Because that would be stressful to figure out.
03:36The heroes have the common sense to realize that Eggman captured Sonic and turned him evil on their own.
03:42Shadow's in IDW Shadow mode, not caring what happened to Sonic because he's selfish.
03:47When it should be obvious Sonic could hurt and kill a lot of people like Maria when he's like this.
03:53So I don't believe the narrator when he says Shadow wasn't evil.
03:57If he knew he was writing Shadow so bad that he came off like he was evil and he had to say he wasn't,
04:03he should've rewritten his earlier paragraphs.
04:07Nothing in Shadow's official bio even mentions Sonic, let alone says he hates Sonic.
04:13It says he has no love for humanity.
04:15This must be why he's being written like this,
04:18because nothing in the recent games has ever indicated that he hates people when he was still being a hero on forces.
04:25Of course a line like that would make everyone write him like he's evil.
04:30Unless they were going off something else.
04:33It wouldn't make any sense that Sega would be impacting how Shadow's being written in the novels,
04:37because other characters were made out of characters just fine.
04:41As we know it's the obvious example.
04:44Shadow gets mad at being compared to Sonic, but doesn't take that out on them.
04:49The narration says that he respects Sonic.
04:52It's nice to be reminded of SA2, but I don't know why he knew to write this when it's not in his character bio,
04:57and he's writing like the crazy generation Shadow who thought he had to fight Sonic to see if he went soft for no reason.
05:04Clearly not him respecting Sonic.
05:07It doesn't even explain why he respects Sonic.
05:10I just have to assume it's for the SE2 reason that Sonic is capable.
05:13So because he doesn't want someone capable of brainwashed, he agrees to help.
05:20Then why did this take so long?
05:22He would have already known he respected his abilities.
05:26That would be why he'd know that he'd be a threat if he was brainwashed.
05:31Jet the Hawk would have needed convincing the same way that Shadow was convinced here.
05:36Because he would only ever help if he thought literally the entire world would be destroyed,
05:41and therefore destroy him.
05:42He also would have said this has nothing to do with him, and needed his ego to be manipulated.
05:49Sega's been ruining Shadow to try to give him a specific role that no other character has,
05:54but it's just Jet's role with how it's written here,
05:57minus the part where he actually competes with him in something.
06:01In the stories where Jet is confirmed to actually exist and isn't just alternate universe spin-off games,
06:07Shadow being inconsiderate has no value.
06:10It sure is convenient for the heroes that the first thing Eggman did with Sonic somehow wasn't to send Sonic to fight the heroes,
06:18which wouldn't give them enough time to plan against him.
06:21But instead to have Sonic be a redundant leader to a bunch of badniks to pointlessly scare people who already were afraid of Eggman,
06:28Shadow assumed that the heroes had already come up with the plan.
06:32I can understand why, because Tails is supposed to be smart.
06:36Tails is smart not to figure out how Eggman must have brainwashed Sonic based on there being nothing out of place in Sonic's bedroom.
06:43I shouldn't need to say this, but I love that Sonic has his own house and bedroom in this novel, because that actually makes logical sense.
06:50Tails doesn't know that subliminal messages don't work in real life.
06:55Shadow says that whatever's in Sonic's head would be whatever Eggman's telling him.
07:00If Tails already figured out what happened to Sonic, he shouldn't need to be told this.
07:05It's looking like Shadow is useless.
07:07Tails already has an invention that can blast sound waves of the opposing frequency at Sonic that could use destructive interference to cancel out the brainwashing.
07:17Good thing he already had this made when it had no other possible use other than this one he didn't know he'd need.
07:25The nice assumption to make is that he did anticipate this, so this is why he made it.
07:30Somehow his invention has very limited range even though Eggman's device is long distance.
07:36He made a fake Chaos Emerald with the same wavelength and properties.
07:41I'm pretty sure he's better at inventing than Eggman.
07:45It should have been explained that Eggman made a device that prevented long distance inventions from curing him.
07:53So it had to be at his most powerful by being right in front of him.
07:57The story just conveniently ignores that Tails was able to keep up with Sonic when he first saw him and that's why they became friends.
08:05Sure he's not as fast as him, but Tails is definitely able to get close enough to Sonic.
08:11Both by running and definitely by flying.
08:14He doesn't have to be faster than Sonic.
08:17He just has to be fast enough that he's right up to him.
08:20So why was this ignored?
08:22His speed is still remembered by Sega, right?
08:26The writers of these novels would have to have done research or been told by Sega about the characters first to have any idea how to write them.
08:33This is so distracting.
08:35Why was Tails written to say to Shadow's face that Sonic is faster than him?
08:39When Shadow already agreed to stop Sonic?
08:42It's just gonna get him mad.
08:44An alarm sounds in Tails' lab echoing throughout his house because there's a robot attack in the heart of the city.
08:51The writer is once again too lazy to say the name of the city.
08:54Knuckles asks Sonic why he didn't tell the heroes about his invention right away.
08:59And Tails doubts Shadow would have come here just to use that.
09:03The same guy who fought Metal Overlord when he could have just gone home establishing himself as a hero instinctively.
09:10He doubts that he would have come here if he knew he had to use a gadget against Sonic.
09:15Get the fuck out of here with that.
09:18Why wouldn't he want to use a gadget?
09:22Aren't his skates a gadget?
09:23Because they let him hover?
09:25It's not like his hover skates are literally a part of his feet.
09:29A ray gun is a gadget.
09:32And he was fine with using them in Shadow the Hedgehog.
09:35So why would Tails think he would look down on using a gadget?
09:39Shadow knew Tails made a fake functional chaos emerald.
09:44He commented on it in Essay 2.
09:46Why would Tails think he looked down on anything he made just because he made it?
09:51His age shouldn't be relevant to Shadow when from Shadow's perspective,
09:55He hasn't been through more than two years of life.
09:58Tails is more experienced and mature than Shadow.
10:02He also has no apparent reason to know that a kid's brain would behave any differently than his.
10:08What if the sound Eggman was using stop hurting Sonic?
10:12Shadow runs over to Sonic who inconveniently runs away instead of running towards him to attack him
10:17and getting immediately cured.
10:20When it's not like Sonic to assume that Shadow would definitely win if he let him catch up to him.
10:26And one of the robots trips Shadow making him somehow let go of the device just because of that.
10:32I don't let myself let go of something.
10:35And Shadow had every reason to be gripping that device really tightly.
10:40As for why Shadow doesn't simply freeze time to grab Sonic and fix things right away.
10:45I never saw him freeze time without an emerald.
10:49He doesn't have one now and it's just sheer bad luck that the heroes don't have any.
10:54And they're too much of a hurry with the robot attack to let Shadow get a bunch of rings and go to a checkpoint.
11:00The narration saying not cool with a period in between the words was lame.
11:06Shadow spends a while looking for the device until Sonic stupidly tells him he's got it.
11:11When he logically would have started speed jumping on it right away.
11:15Just in case.
11:17Sonic wonders if it's a weapon.
11:19So if he's capable of wondering that, he would have been wondering that all along and definitely would have smashed it.
11:25Shadow has a device that makes him faster than Sonic.
11:28This tricks Sonic into pressing the button to bring himself back to normal.
11:33Because he didn't think it could take him.
11:34He didn't think it could simply fight him on his own.
11:38He thought he had to make himself faster than him so he could run away from him.
11:42I'm actually impressed by Shadow here.
11:45I can't remember the last time he was actually smart.
11:48It was mature of him for once to let go of his ego for a second if it meant saving Sonic.
11:53And when is the last time Shadow got to be the one manipulating?
11:56The movie forgot that too.
11:59Shadow actually asks Sonic if he's okay.
12:02I don't know why the writer knew to have him do that now.
12:06He hasn't been ruined like he cares about anyone but himself.
12:09And it wasn't like he was told he would be given less of a reward if he got hurt.
12:13Shadow's also ruined his smile, not smirk.
12:17So that's nice.
12:19As long as he had his eyes half-lidded.
12:21I agree it would be weird to see him smile in a way that wasn't half-lidded eyes.
12:27It would also be weird to see him sad without half-lidded eyes.
12:32If I didn't take issue without an Archie, it must have been because it wasn't meant to be Game Shadow.
12:36He didn't go through nearly as much as Game Shadow did.
12:40So of course he wouldn't be as emo and angsty from being traumatized.
12:45Why was he written properly in one page?
12:48The writing properly part disappears when Shadow decides to go home instead of joining on destroying Eggman's stuff.
12:54Even though I can't imagine Shadow spending his time every day doing anything but smashing Eggman's robots.
13:00And only being at home because he's having a meal break.
13:04Because we're never told what hobbies he has in a game.
13:09Sonic only gets Shadow to not leave by telling him that Eggman could mind control Shadow.
13:14That doesn't really justify Shadow not going home.
13:19Because I thought he was going home because he had total faith in Sonic to destroy the machine.
13:25Nothing Sonic said changed that.
13:30And even if he did think only Sonic was in danger.
13:34He already proved he could get him out of mind control once.
13:38And Sonic shouldn't have needed to tell Shadow this because it was obvious.
13:43The story ends with the machine getting destroyed uncreatively.
13:47And the narration saying that Sonic would never let Shadow know that he was grateful for his help.
13:52Even though he wasn't too proud to thank Knuckles and admit that he needed his help.
13:57And Knuckles has inconvenienced him far more times than Shadow did.
14:02So again, Sega doesn't care about the nitty gritty nitpicky details of their mascots character.
14:09But they care enough to write a detailed bunch of bullshit on Shadow's character for the writer to follow.
14:14But they didn't care enough about that betrayal to have it be the one used in the recent games.
14:19It's like Sega was trying to sabotage Shadow and IDW in the novels.
14:23And the only thing they have in common is that they weren't from Japan.
14:27So that has to be it.
14:29This is so confusing.
14:31This story by Jake Black was about Sonic getting brainwashed by Eggman by a long distance Sonic wave machine.
14:39An insanely overpowered awesome invention that there's no reason given for why he couldn't just rebuild and use again.
14:46But have Tails' invention destroyed first.
14:49Eggman would have won if he was this competent in the games.
14:53Unfortunately, the story got ruined by its arbitrary insistence on having the evil IDW Shadow in it.
14:59With the bullshit excuse that Tails can only make a short distance Sonic wave machine that does nearly the exact same thing as Eggman's.
15:07Even though he's supposed to be smarter than him.
15:09And he doesn't even need someone to be faster than Sonic.
15:12Or just as fast as Sonic.
15:15Tails can get close enough to him in Sonic Adventure.
15:18How could someone know Tails is an inventor and not also read that about him?
15:22If being different from the source material alone made something bad, then the Shrek movies and the Harry Potter movies would be the worst things ever made.
15:30There's nothing good about intentionally ignoring that detail.
15:35It's a fact that it's objectively terrible because it's different by making a character less competent and less good.
15:43Without there being any sort of justification at the foundation of the series itself for the latter.
15:50This isn't the same guy who chose to fight Metal Overlord with no explanation.
15:54And told Sonic, you've got this Sonic in Generations.
15:58If he was, he wouldn't have needed to be convinced to fight Sonic.
16:02This is a Shadow Android.
16:04This writer isn't used to writing Shadow a different way.
16:07So it was constantly distracting that Shadow is written wrong here, but not in the recent games.
16:13Which Seiko would have the most control over ever because they're games.
16:17And for a story called Fighting Shadow, that was a boring lie because there wasn't any actual hitting involved.
