00:00It starts with a flashback to when Sonic and his friends were first put in a force field while the traditional superheroes were holding Darkseid,
00:11as if they were supposed to accomplish anything when neither one of them thought to hold his arm that was holding the Emerald.
00:17Because that had been smart.
00:20Both of them have super strength, and yet it's not being used against him, so Darkseid's overpowered enough to have immunity to super strength, too.
00:29It just seems like favoritism on the part of his original creator.
00:33Flash gets an Emerald and gets put in a force field with the rest of his friends,
00:38and Cyborg says he could use the power of an Emerald to make a wormhole for them to escape.
00:42He blasts a laser and they go through the way out, unhesitantly giving up on fighting someone who really needs to be stopped and is heavily outnumbered.
00:51Then they start boringly talking for a while, doing nothing.
00:55It talks up Darkseid some more as the most OP threat ever conceives, because that's totally a believable villain alright.
01:02This kind of character is why I don't engage in superhero fiction.
01:06It's not relatable that it's all about exclusively refighting the same ridiculous cartoon villains until it gets old.
01:13And he's not even a literal wizard.
01:16Darkseid's engine is destabilizing the entire planet supposedly, but it's hard to believe because they aren't seeing any effects of it.
01:24And you'd think there'd immediately be earthquakes if there was.
01:27And it's just a ripoff of Sigma and his Universe engine.
01:31And I know the world's not going to be destroyed, so who cares?
01:35Since the Ragnarok's taking the full brunt of the effect of the engine for now, for some weird reason,
01:41it's buying them time.
01:44Why?
01:45And why doesn't he immediately leave and go after them?
01:48Is there a constant unbreakable barrier around it?
01:51Well, I guess so.
01:52And they close up the wormhole so we can't follow them.
01:55That's the one thing the OP creator's pet can't do.
01:59Make a wormhole.
02:01Cyborg says that because the fabric of space-time is in constant flux, he can't get them a clear path back to their world.
02:08Even though he was just told that only the Ragnarok is being affected by the space-time affecting Emerald.
02:14All that dialogue just to tell us what we already assumed.
02:18That they're going to look for the rest of the Emeralds.
02:21Logically, Superman and Flash would find the rest of them instantly from how fast they are.
02:26Thankfully, the story goes on to be about Blaze instead, so maybe it will be like that.
02:31At first, it's nice to see her in a level from Sonic Rush, but is this going to be used well, or just be eye candy to brainwash you?
02:39Blaze has to dodge the attacks of another, un-immersive cartoon villain I don't know about.
02:44Blaze is not in the soul dimension.
02:47Even though it's not IDW's Sonic, why wasn't it explained why Blaze is in somewhere other than the soul dimension, when it's not Sonic's birthday?
02:57I don't know why they would ever work for Darkseid, I just have to assume he pays really well and they want power. Whatever.
03:03Most of these name tags are pointless.
03:06They don't want to crush a prize for their boss, and Blaze's desire to keep it from them is at odds with her not just running away from them.
03:13So she's an idiot for staying here, and this fight has been desperate for it to end immediately.
03:18It's not like she's in a city full of innocent people and so she'd have to defeat them to protect them.
03:24No level in Sonic Rush would have had that aspect, so this reference wasn't worth it.
03:29At least there's impact shown when the villain gets sent towards the ground by Diana.
03:34But the pink light beams looking pretty isn't going to make me think it's a good story just because of ooh, pretty pictures.
03:41I'm bored as hell by the substance-less story.
03:44Why was there a flash of light censoring the impact when the villains got thrown into each other?
03:50They aren't even written to grunt and pain, so it's not good enough.
03:54The two girls shake hands, and Blaze thanks her, and there's a boring dialogue you'd expect to get from someone who never knows to stop writing dialogue and get on with it.
04:04All you had to do was have her show Diana the Emerald.
04:08And we would have assumed what would happen next.
04:11Blaze immediately trusts her, even though she started out untrusting and they're strangers to each other.
04:17Sure, Blaze learned to trust Sonic, but that was about Sonic specifically, and any of his friends by extension.
04:24We could have already assumed Metal Sonic was high performance.
04:28The characters are all so paper thin that I don't feel like any of the name tags are necessary for telling us stuff we don't already know just from seeing them.
04:37It's nice that he's complimented of course, but that pales in comparison to using him great in a story.
04:43A claw launches thanks to Batman, and it miraculously grabs onto Metal Sonic's foot when he was flying at Sonic speed.
04:51This was the only reason Batman was able to start a fight with him, because Metal Sonic wasn't aware of his existence.
04:59He throws batarangs at him, but for no reason there's flashes of light censoring the impacts with him anyways.
05:06There's some pointless panels, especially pointless in a panel wasted on just showing a closeup of Metal Sonic.
05:12While Metal was distracted by Batman, the motorcycle on autopilot rammed into him, which instantly sent him crashing to the road defeated because it was going so fast and was made of Metal.
05:24So that's believable if almost no time passed in between Metal Sonic landing and getting hurt.
05:30There wasn't dialogue, so any amount of time could have passed with those panels.
05:35So anyone interpreting this in good faith would assume this happened as quick as possible.
05:41If Metal Sonic had just stood still for seconds, that would have been insulting to his character and our intelligence, because it would have killed him in all that time.
05:49It's respectful of Batman to take advantage of how smart he is by making him do a strategy to beat Metal Sonic.
05:56It'd be in bad faith to assume for no reason that the motorcycle coincidentally happened to hit him without Batman intending it to, because that wouldn't be cool if Batman victory was, and that was clearly the point of the scene.
06:08So the only problems with this are that it's so lucky that Batman successfully had a claw grab his foot, and that if it wasn't an iconic villain, people wouldn't have clutched their pearls at him losing so fast.
06:22It should have started with Metal Sonic not being in the process of moving so he'd have a reasonable chance of starting a fight with him, without that scenario being that Metal Sonic would see him first, because that'd mean he should have attacked him instantly.
06:36It does do Metal Sonic dirty that he had to lose so fast, which wouldn't have been required if Superman took him on because he can manage his speed and take a bunch of hits.
06:46This set of panders to the people who don't like the Sonic series enough to think it's worth it to see Batman beat Metal Sonic, which is weird for the Sonic writer to do.
06:55The superhero fatigue is worse than ever in the world, so it's weird to pander to the people who prefer Batman over Sonic.
07:02A series that'll always matter because it was the mascot of the company that beat Nintendo in the second console generation.
07:09People who don't care about Metal Sonic and really like Batman won't mind.
07:13Most people won't care because Metal Sonic hardly talks and hasn't had a personality in years.
07:19So he's just been an overexposed badnik for a while. So he doesn't get people invested in his character anymore.
07:26And they wouldn't have liked this as much if it were a different robot.
07:30You can't give the Worf effect to a motobug. It would have made more sense intuitively to have lost so fast.
07:36But this makes logical sense, so I won't whine about it.
07:40If this happened to him right after the heroes came out, and there was a story where he was allowed to talk like he did at the end of Heroes,
07:46Maybe it would have been worse to me because it would have felt like a real character.
07:51Instead of just another one of the endless robots Eggman has, who's only being used for fanservice.
07:57Come to think of it, it is weird to have the non-powered character be the one to beat Metal Sonic.
08:02I just don't care because the fight scene didn't have any plot holes and that was a miracle.
08:07It's a speed story gone after him, we all would have known how the fight was going to go immediately.
08:12Then there's another insanely boring part of the story where a ridiculous cartoon villain I don't know and care about
08:19Talks forever while holding the conch from Lost World and then he sends a deadly six after the fastest person alive.
08:25I can't read his dialogue fast enough.
08:28And his accent just makes it take a little longer.
08:31I think the next panel would be the Zeddy trying to fight him, but instead they somehow do nothing so that Flash can make fun of the fact that it's weird that a conch controls a rainbow coalition of creatures.
08:42Yes, you know what else is weird? Sonic the Hedgehog and the Flash.
08:47This kind of quippy self-aware humor just mocks the very appeal of the franchise it's used in so it appeals the most to its haters.
08:54Why does the villain care what the Flash thinks? There's boredom after this, there's nothing to say.
09:00At least the writer cared enough to give the Zeddy more motivation for fighting Flash than just that they're villains who fight heroes out of sadism and don't want to hear the conch.
09:09They also want to use the Emeralds to wage war on the worlds below, but how do they expect to do that without the life draining machine from Lost World working?
09:16And the roboticizer would have been disabled by Tails. He would have gone back and wrecked it if he hadn't already. Zavok's delusional.
09:24They have no reason to think they could use the power of the Emeralds for anything themselves.
09:29Why did Flash let him talk? He should have just run away instantly.
09:33He's smart to run away from him a few panels later. Zavok just calls him a coward to feel better about himself.
09:39More filler after this.
09:42It's good that Flash got the Emeralds. What was the point of having the Zeddy if they weren't going to get to do anything?
09:48Why does Flynn keep bringing back the most hated villains in the franchise as if that somehow works as pandering to the fans just as well as all the other unnecessary references that aren't used by the plot?
09:59Most people hated the Zeddy, and you can tell by how poorly their game sold. I thought he was supposed to be the Sonic fan that knew the franchise.
10:09Anyway, nothing but boring pointlessness until Eggman brags that now nothing's going to stop him just for that to get immediately undermined by unseeing Superman.
10:18So it went from looking like it was for once giving the main villain of the series who hardly gets to achieve anything permanent a chance to really get things done as a badass to humiliating him instantly.
10:28Even though Superman could have been busy doing something else, and he's not holding any animals.
10:33So it's not like he finished looking for the rest of them.
10:37So he just conveniently found the Egg Fleet before he could find any of them right away.
10:42And is instantly destroying his airships. Something that's supposed to be satisfying.
10:47But isn't really, because Eggman hasn't gotten to do anything evil in this arc yet.
10:51It's the same reason it's depressing to see Squidward suffer in episodes where he hasn't done something wrong or done enough to warrant it.
10:58Superman wastes his time letting Eggman say boring things and get the protective metal cap over his head to get inside the mecha that was the penultimate boss of Sonic Heroes.
11:09There's no reason he would use that mecha again instead of something new for the sake of his ego.
11:15And even if he was in the habit of reusing a mecha, he would use the one from the previous game.
11:21Why would he use this again after it lost to four different teams?
11:25It's his biggest failure yet.
11:27To be fair to Superman, there's been times in the golden age where he let people try to hurt him out of sheer amusement at seeing their disappointment and fear when they couldn't do it.
11:36He's let people shoot him before, so this is an exaggeration event.
11:39The problem is that he doesn't show any amusement at the situation, so that's not what's conveyed about why he's let him get to this point.
11:46Instead he just stays deadly serious like it's a man of steel.
11:50So it just comes off like the writer only let Eggman get this far so he could get to the reference, and not because he cares about what motivations characters have most of the time, or knows Superman that well.
12:02Again, references are just dangling key to they don't really get taken advantage of in the story.
12:07Eggman could have had any mecha get instantly ruined by him.
12:10The story would have been the same either way.
12:13Superman has super strength and invincibility, so it really goes without saying that it makes sense that he got to Eggman so fast, absolutely effortlessly.
12:22The only reason people want to like this would be that it's the most important Sonic villain that's getting humiliated.
12:28Which is a purely emotional complaint that doesn't really understand why this was written.
12:34Superman's the main character of the Justice League, so of course he was the one to face the main villain of the Sonic series.
12:40Not writing that would feel like if someone other than Sonic beat the final boss of a Sonic game.
12:46If someone else dealt with Eggman instead, that'd be too underwhelming to be worth subverting expectations.
12:51But still, it took no creativity to write this whole scene, so it should have been paced much faster to just get it over with.
12:59Don't even have him get to threaten him with a mecha.
13:02Have the mecha be attacking a town just for Superman to smash it so that he actually got to accomplish something sweet and admirable besides just progressing the plot.
13:10Superman gets right up to Eggman lifting the metal thing so that he's defenseless.
13:15And Eggman confuses me by risking provoking him even more by whining that Superman isn't engaging in pre-battle banter.
13:22Something Superman absolutely did all the time originally.
13:26I don't know how much he was mangled by recent comics, to be fair.
13:30Maybe most fans want him to be different after all that time, for all I know.
13:34But Superman's tendency for quips doesn't strike me as something they would have gotten rid of
13:38because they were to make him look cool and have you wish you were him.
13:42Superman tells him that his world's in danger and says he'll never understand the ambition for world domination.
13:48Which only makes sense if he thinks that Eggman doesn't want to take over the world for the sake of making it better for the people.
13:54Which Superman, if you wanted world domination, would want to do.
13:58And not someone who's being evil enough to put animals in robots.
14:02So he'd think it'd be a no-brainer for Superman figuring out why he would want to do that.
14:08Eggman just doesn't want all the boring paperwork taking up time that he could spend fighting.
14:13But he doesn't explain that so he just looks like a stupid idealist.
14:17And then Eggman tells him off for moralizing at hand but doesn't have the guts to not whisper it.
14:22And he tells him where the emerald is because he's scared of him.
14:25But why would he be scared of him if he thinks he's such an idealist?
14:28If he thinks he's so high and mighty you wouldn't even so much as hurt him.
14:32What is he afraid of?
14:34Superman's not gonna torture him for information.
14:37And Eggman doesn't deserve to be thanked for it.
14:40I feel like Superman doesn't usually thank people for telling him stuff that they're just scared into telling him.
14:46It's so lame that Eggman has a variation of the line,
14:49I hate that hedgehog from AOSDH but with Kryptonium.
14:53It doesn't sound as good because it's not two syllables.
14:56Since when did he find out what the name of his species was?
15:00So why would he know it?
15:02And it's not even a good show.
15:04It's just more jingling keys as a reference to make easily impressed people who think like kids like the story unquestioningly.
15:12But there's way too much dialogue for a story that's got basically no story or compelling characterization to make up for it.
15:19In Luminous Forest there's another ridiculous villain I don't know at all and never will.
15:25Who's got the Wisps trapped.
15:27And she bores me by talking for too long.
15:29Green Lantern starts a fight with her.
15:31This is so slow-paced.
15:33With nothing good about any of these panels.
15:36This is so boring.
15:38That's every scene.
15:40And Wisp goes into Green Lantern and he magically finds out about all of them.
15:45Since when can Wisps do that?
15:47It just wastes my time because he talks about this without it serving the story.
15:51This isn't the same universe as the game so it's fine to do something different.
15:56If this could happen in colors then Tails would've never needed to work on the translator because the Wisps would've just chosen to fuse with him and Sonic to give them all the intel right away.
16:06That would've saved us a lot of time.
16:08Why isn't the villain attacking him in all the time he's talking?
16:12Because of that, he gets to one-shot her with the laser wall of the Wisps' attacker.
16:17He thanks them and confusingly thinks she survived this.
16:21Well, they did absolutely nothing with the setting of Luminous Forest.
16:26There's some more boring and worthless dialogue.
16:29It didn't need to establish that his ring can run out of power if it wasn't actually going to use that for drama where he suddenly ran out in the middle of a fight.
16:37And it says it's only used and then he has to use Chaos Control to get to where its battery is to recharge it.
16:42We were under the impression that only especially powerful people that have the powers of Sonic and Shadow and Silver could use Chaos Control.
16:53Whatever. I mean he's a superhero so there's willing suspension disbelief.
16:59And he's clearly more powerful than Sonic.
17:02And more boring dialogue where Cyborg makes a plan instead of the story instantly moving on while showing them carry it out.
17:10Cyborg completely wastes my time in the first panel.
17:13The second text bubble just repeats exposition from the same issue.
17:17He says he could use the emeralds to create something that could allow their friends to contact them.
17:22Somehow Flash doesn't understand what he said.
17:25There's more worthless dialogue just because Batman felt like explaining it to him to be nice when that's not really who he is.
17:34He thanks him and it's boring for a while.
17:36I think this has been the most consistently boring series of Sonic stories I've read since Archie Sonic issue 152.
17:44Cause at least the art's good.
17:46What does Diana say here at Guide them specifically?
17:51There's more boring dialogue.
17:54Finally they see the Sonic characters again.
17:57It ends with Superman nicely saying welcome home and Flash cathartically saying that it took them long enough.
18:03Maybe the crossover could have ended by now if it didn't waste so many panels.
18:08This issue by Anne Flynn was about the Justice League getting the emeralds by dealing with ridiculous cartoon villains I don't know without endangering any people.
18:19And somehow that was the whole story instead of Superman getting the emeralds in just seconds by never ceasing to go fast with his fists raised up.
18:27This issue was constantly boring to push through.
18:31It's pacing was so slow with practically nothing to compliment most of the time, and it had way too much worthless dialogue.
18:39It again used references as a crunch to cheat its way into positive reception, which wouldn't be insulting if the story itself deserved it.
18:48And the only thing that passed for creativity was the members of the Justice League having to deal with Sonic villains they never did before,
18:54which is effortless to come up with when you're writing a crossover, so it doesn't impress me.
18:59Usually it was never done in an interesting way to watch where the villains got to show what they can do,
19:04but at least the scenes made sense because of it.
19:07The most creative part was having Batman take on Metal Sonic.
19:11Because having Flash or Superman do that would be so obvious that no creativity would be required for the scene.
19:18It subverted my expectations, which had me engaged in the scene the whole time.
19:23If it was Flash or Superman, I would have instantly known what was going to happen,
19:28and the only thing surprising would have been the order in which Metal Sonic used his powers.
19:33If it was Flash or Superman, then Metal Sonic would have gotten to show off everything he could do,
19:38but that would have just been reminding me of stuff I already knew about him.
19:42So combine that with me knowing Flash wouldn't get hurt, and it'd be so boring to see.
19:48I'd rather see something I never saw before than yet another scene where a speedster he can punch takes on Metal Sonic.
19:56I see the point of how Batman beat Metal Sonic because he was meant to take advantage of the fact that he's cool
20:01and can use a variety of tools to win, in a way that's different than having a punch.
20:06It's nice to see this writer make a hero competent for once.
20:10It's not that believable that his grappling hook grabbed Metal Sonic accurately to even start the fight,
20:16but there was no other way to write this in a way that made sense for Batman to survive that
20:20that would have had the scene last longer than one panel.
20:23It still should have had Batman deal with someone without extraordinary powers,
20:27and not had Metal Sonic in the story, so that nobody nitpicks that Metal Sonic lost fast,
20:33even though there's no indication that more than a split second passed after he got pulled to the ground.
20:38So it made sense that he got hit by the motorcycle.
20:42But Metal Sonic fans still complain just because they'd intuitively expect Metal Sonic to get to do better just because he's iconic.
20:50Nevermind that it made sense logically.
20:53That happens so rarely with modern Sonic comics that I'm relieved when it does.
20:58A way to make the scene better would be to have another superhero start dealing the rest of the hits against Metal Sonic right after the motorcycle.
21:07Instead of having the motorcycle one-shot him when he's supposed to take eight hits to kill,
21:13have the other seven be dealt by a superhero.
21:16There's no way Batarang's thrown by someone with normal human strength would be able to deal genuine damage to Metal Sonic.
21:24What's really underwhelming is the main villain had a panel bragging that now he's gonna get to terrorize the world unimposed
21:31just for Superman to stop him in the same page because it reminded me of how capable Eggman used to be.
21:38Even though of course in the Superman crossover they can't show us that because Superman would effortlessly deal with him in seconds.
21:45They should have had that first panel event then.
21:48trevily.
21:49Trevily.
