00:00Issue 75
00:02It starts with Amy being unable to even damage the vault door with her hammer, indicating that it's made of harder material than robots.
00:10And then the characters state the obvious we were just reminded of a panel ago.
00:15Amy doubts that Vector could break down a vault door if her hammer couldn't make it budge.
00:20Because somehow he never told her about his super strength in all the time she was with him at Sonic's birthday party in Generations and later on.
00:30Plus, part of her whole appeal is that she's a bundle of optimism, remember?
00:36Somehow he doesn't respond by telling her he's a super strong power type like he is in Heroes and Riders, creating the impression that the writer doesn't know this and is trying to make him look like a pathetic idiot.
00:48At least Pontak and Graf read wikis on characters, which would have told her what their abilities were.
00:56I would have double checked what all their abilities were every time I wrote a story and based it off that.
01:04If the Chaotix were as cool as they are in the games, they also would have broke the cage they were in earlier.
01:10But that's if we're assuming it's a normal cage and not made of some extremely tough material adamantium style that can't even be melted by fire breath.
01:19And it's the Sonic universe, so that's what I went with.
01:22That's a good faith way to look at it.
01:25Though it's probably just that the writer forgot that it's super strength.
01:29Speaking of good faith, the only way I'm failing to burst down the vault door makes sense is if it's made of some really tough material adamantium style.
01:39This is the same guy who broke down a vault door to get to Eggman and Heroes effortlessly.
01:44So it has to be made of a better material than that.
01:48Whatever place he was trapped in when he was sazonbot must have ultimately made it such amazing material.
01:54It's lampshaded when Storm states the obvious.
01:58Only because there's a character rude enough to do so at a time like this.
02:02It's so convenient of Jet to care about the fact that a city is going to be destroyed when earlier in the comic he had to be talked into saving the world.
02:10And he's a thief who's only ever shown apathy for his friends.
02:14So of course he's evil.
02:16And once again, Wave shows compassion for people other than her friends, unlike in the games.
02:22Which always makes me wonder why she's still stealing with them.
02:25All of a sudden Jet thinks of a better idea than following Sonic.
02:29Which makes sense since he did come up with a good plan in Riders and of course he'd prefer to do anything other than following someone he hates to help him out.
02:38In the comic it's a damn miracle that he came up with an idea instead of wait for once.
02:44Mimic finally gets condescended to by Landlund for once who says this is no time to wander off.
02:50And the way it's revealed to them is by Clutch saying his name when calling him for backup even though he didn't need to say his name.
02:59The writer could have been more subtle and believable because just the fact that Clutch called him for backup trusting him to help him at this point would give away to them that he's been working for Clutch and that Clutch thinks he's evil enough to still want to help them.
03:13That could get them to remember when he was being given accusations and stopped trusting him because of it.
03:19And then he would reveal himself.
03:21The way it was done was just so easy and could have easily not happened.
03:27He could have been contacted earlier just as easily so it's not as satisfying.
03:33I'm still relieved that the whole Mimic fooling them thing is over.
03:37But leave it to this comic to even screw up that by distracting me with skepticism.
03:43It's not like this is impossible but it's still unlikely.
03:47At that point it would have been more believable if it went with what I assumed would happen by having Mimic choose to reveal himself right after betraying them anyways.
03:57At which point his disguise would be useless.
04:00It'd also be a better effect if he revealed himself on purpose.
04:05Then he would have looked menacing.
04:07How inconvenient that the security guards got some rope out of nowhere to tie up people with.
04:13Clutch doesn't get into the escape vehicle right away and waste time taunting them with a taunt he could have easily said before getting into it.
04:22Which thankfully gives Sonic the time to grab him by the hair and throw him to the floor.
04:27I wish I could have seen his face in those panels.
04:31And saw the part of the floor hitting his head.
04:34It's cathartic but not enough to make me enjoy the story.
04:38Why is Sonic calling him buddy when he's not his buddy?
04:42He tries to shoot Sonic.
04:44Who hadn't been talking for that long so it could be possible that he was getting into position to do this and all the time Sonic was mildly scolding him without looking angry.
04:53You'd think a guy who loves nature would be mad about seeing him polluted like Eggman.
04:59Maybe say something more than a vague euphemism.
05:02I don't know why he doesn't simply start homie attacking him and not stop until he's knocked out.
05:09You don't see the characters stopping with attacks while they talk to each other in character battles because that would be dumb of them.
05:16Sonic's a guy of action.
05:18Not boring lectures when it's a situation where he could be attacking somebody instead and should be.
05:24Clutch says Sonic's caused him a lot of trouble.
05:28When?
05:29He's also made a fool of by saying that nobody ever bet against his trigger finger and won even though he missed his shots against Charmy and Tails.
05:38Because he's that arrogant and of course a villain would lie to his enemy to intimidate him.
05:44But it's still a goofy line that reminds us that he's not a threat.
05:48Why did Surge say she quit in front of Sonic when they just implicate her in front of Jule when she didn't need to?
05:56She already told Clutch she quit.
05:59You could have had Clutch reveal her to them to give him another villain moment.
06:05I guess it makes sense because Jule can't actually stop her from still doing whatever she wants just because she knows she used to work for Clutch.
06:13It's cathartic to see her say she's done listening to creeps.
06:18I hope that's not contradicted later then by her working for Zabbok or Eggman.
06:23Because her working for Clutch implied that they were going to have her work for every villain in the comic at some point to exhaust the ideas well.
06:30It would have been way more cathartic to see her hit him at some point.
06:34If her logic for implicating herself in front of Jule is that she can't stop her from working for the Diamond Cutters.
06:41Then by that same logic it's confusing at first that she doesn't kill Clutch.
06:46Which she'd do if she moved at her actual speed instead of trying too hard to hold Banks so that he can dodge it all.
06:52Lanolin could find out from these witnesses and she's the only one she knows can't be trusted.
06:58So it's really Lanolin she doesn't trust.
07:00Lanolin wants to arrest Sonic for something way more minor than working for Clutch.
07:05So she would call the cops on her for killing Clutch.
07:08She wants to make herself known as a hero for the glory.
07:11But having to run from the cops all the time wouldn't be a good luck.
07:15Sonic starts untying people as he thinks he needs to be filled in on a self-explanatory situation.
07:21What took that security guard so long to make an excuse not to fight and run away in fear?
07:27And surprisingly Tumble says they actually did turn over New Leaf and Clutch only told them they'd be wearing costumes.
07:35And he didn't know the Clutch would start asking them to do bad things.
07:39But they didn't seem even slightly reluctant to be bad guys in the last issue.
07:44So he could be lying but it's a nice thought that maybe he isn't.
07:48Even if it seems completely out of character from what it was like earlier.
07:53They're asked why they didn't just quit.
07:56I assume they'd explain that they were too scared of retribution to quit.
08:00Would that be keeping things simple instead of making a forced joke at their expense for the sake of a joke?
08:07Color style.
08:08Somehow I'm expected to believe they don't think you can quit a job.
08:12They would have learned about that from TV.
08:15They could have been forbidden from watching TV by their parents and never had internet access because they were being indoctrinated.
08:22And just never spent enough time around people as adults to hear them talk about quitting being a thing.
08:28Because as he says they get fired really quickly.
08:31It's not so bad because I can make it make sense.
08:35But it's still annoying because it's probably not canon.
08:38If you'd think that the writer thought of this for their backstory and she'd explain it right here.
08:43She'd have a character ask if they watched TV before like would actually be believable.
08:48So that they'd have a reason to explain that they weren't allowed to.
08:52Like how if a writer wanted you to believe that Shadow was stupid enough to just freeze time when warping somewhere would be much simpler.
09:00Then he would just have a character explain that he froze time.
09:04It's finally explained why they were trapped in a cage that was broken out of.
09:10They only thought the door was locked.
09:13I must have assumed the heroes were simply standing in front of the exit to the cage.
09:17It turns out Rough and Tumble Together is stronger than Vector.
09:22I just thought fuck you.
09:24I hate these characters too much to have any enjoyment for that insult to Vector.
09:29There's no reason to think it'd be impossible in a world full of magical creatures like Vector that some people could be stronger than him.
09:36But it's the principle of the matter.
09:38These characters I love and grew up with shouldn't need the help of these unlikable OCs to escape from a room.
09:45I assume the wall around the vault door is made of the same tough material.
09:50So that's why Vector didn't break the wall down.
09:53Surge taunts Clutch doubting he could ever get her shot with something instead of telling Kit to attack him because he can attack things higher up than himself.
10:02And she shouldn't have even needed to tell him that.
10:06Why would he stop trying to fight him?
10:09Why would he know she wants him to stop trying to fight him?
10:12He would have flown up to him and attacked him.
10:15So he wouldn't have gotten the chance to press a button with the remote control to fire fireballs at them.
10:20Convenient for Clutch that he had been inexplicably carrying around that remote with him the whole time when he had no reason to think he'd need to use it.
10:28Because he didn't know his plan would fail.
10:32And we never saw him put a remote in his jacket.
10:35So Surge and Kit were made incompetent so Sonic would get to save them.
10:40See, it's not just the game characters.
10:43At least Surge stays in character by refusing Sonic's help stupidly out of pride.
10:48It doesn't say much about the comic when I have to resort to complimenting a character being a character.
10:54I guess the real compliment is I like the character moment.
10:58The shockwave from some fire knocks them forwards.
11:02Clutch gets thankfully prevented from escaping when either a mecha or robot of Eggman flies towards Clutch to cathartically call him out and send him flying.
11:12If only this were more than just one page of portraying Eggman as a cool, competent villain.
11:18Sonic stupidly saved Clutch because the guy who was happy about killing King Arthur in Black Knight thinks he'd be sad to let an enemy die now for no reason.
11:28I think he changed, but if he changed, why doesn't he angst about all the times he killed in the games?
11:36Why is Sonic acting surprised that Eggman did something he didn't want him to do after he worked for him?
11:42Because working with him worked out so well the last time.
11:45He's supposed to be cool, and how is not being genre savvy cool?
11:50If this didn't surprise him, he should be doing something other than mildly scolding him in annoyance by stating the obvious.
11:58Sonic and Clutch are in monochrome for the most part, and Sonic's shoe is drawn as a blur when it hits him.
12:04Which ruins the potential catharsis of him kicking Clutch because it doesn't feel like it impacted him.
12:10It looks like his foot is in the foreground in front of Clutch's chest.
12:14And then Spindash gets blocked anyways.
12:18He only gets to attack him by landing on him jumping on him like Mario.
12:23Sonic talks to Clutch like he's a spoiled little brat who just broke someone's toy.
12:29He talks and emotes like he doesn't know how serious what he's done is and is only caring because other people do and he broke the rules.
12:38And he's doing his usual thing in this comic of,
12:41I respect freedom, that's why I'll beat you up until you do what I want.
12:45Which is authoritarian.
12:47It's just that here he happens to be in the right because of the context.
12:51And while Surge was being stupid, he was still disrespecting her with freedom of thought as well by saying they should help each other against this guy.
12:59When he'd know they'd just annoy her and he could've just silently helped her fight.
13:03Because if she was planning to fight him first, she would've done so.
13:08Surge releases a huge amount of energy which knocks out Clutch and conveniently doesn't knock out Sonic despite it still burning him.
13:16And again, she must've been holding back here.
13:19Killing him off would require guts.
13:22I don't know why anyone thought this was bullshit.
13:25She did the exact same thing to a hallucination of Starline.
13:29So why couldn't she do this?
13:32It's sweet to see kids show concern over Surge again.
13:36I know you could say it's not sweet because he's brainwashed into caring about her,
13:40but by this point he would've cared about her anyways.
13:43Just from being around her long enough, he would've cared about her on his own.
13:49Eggman says he built a Surge protector because he's smart only when the plot demands it to end his story arc.
13:55And so the Mega-Sooter robot gets back up and takes Clutch away.
13:59It's kinda offensive that Sonic feels bad for this guy despite everything he's done,
14:04but never feels bad for the people that said he killed in those towns.
14:09He would've been told about that.
14:12The only people I remember him feeling bad for are the people who are useful to him or villains.
14:18She must've been holding back if it didn't kill Clutch.
14:22It makes sense that electricity would be what knocks out Clutch because it hurt more.
14:27So it's more karma.
14:29And Sonic would be holding back the whole time because he's fighting someone organic.
14:33And again writing it to have someone who's the victim of them directly to get back in him by dealing the final blow.
14:40It's just a little weird to have someone who's not the main character of the series who is already facing off with him be the one who knocks him out.
14:47Surge calls him Blue instead of Sonic all of a sudden.
14:52Like it's an affectionate nickname.
14:54Didn't Rouge use this as a nickname?
14:57She says they're not friends and she wants them to survive this so they can face off fair and square.
15:04She didn't mind fighting him when he had a hurt leg.
15:07Why would she suddenly care about fighting him fair and square?
15:10This would only make sense if she was just saying this to make up an excuse to leave when she's really leaving because she's hurt and exhausted.
15:17So by fair and square she doesn't mean fair for Sonic she means fair for her.
15:22The screen in front of Tails turns to static only by this point.
15:26Because only now has this hardware melted after the room was so hot before.
15:31I don't know the melting temperature of whatever metal this is made of so I'll just go with it.
15:37The heroes get reunited with by the people who used to be tied up.
15:41And the blimp that was falling earlier starts getting pulled up by cars with ropes connected to it.
15:46Which was just the plan.
15:48So it's convenient that apparently these black ropes were a thing that were accessible.
15:53I call it a blimp because I don't like calling it ship when it doesn't look like a pirate ship.
15:59And it doesn't even look like a modern ship.
16:01Or spaceship.
16:03Sonic shows up and realistically feels some pain from Amy hugging him Sonic X style.
16:08Having missed him after not being away for that long.
16:11By that logic why doesn't she hug him again when she sees him in frontiers.
16:14In forces.
16:16In Lot's world.
16:18Amy hasn't been like this in the game since Sonic CD.
16:21So this isn't acting like she is in the games.
16:25She would have seen the burns on the fur.
16:28It's just like she had to taunt Sonic like that.
16:31Kinda makes me want to see him a lot more often.
16:34It's entertaining to see that he's getting to succeed in competing with Sonic at his own game.
16:39If you can call heroism a game.
16:42He would have been a good rival here if Sonic actually was annoyed at his condescending and arrogant attitude.
16:48And him getting to be the hero instead of him.
16:50It wouldn't be like Sonic to not just be happy as being a hero and caring about his own ego instead of the fact that he's saving people.
16:57But this isn't Sonic anyways.
16:59Apparently they aren't able to outright pull the thing up after all.
17:04So they can only make the shuttle fall somewhere else.
17:07I thought they were pulling it up.
17:10Now they aren't just so Jewel can make the decision to have it fall.
17:16On Restoration HQ of all places.
17:19That sounds so stupid.
17:22Wait a minute this is a coastal city.
17:25So why doesn't she tell them to have the ship crash into the ocean.
17:29Crouching so far away from the city that it wouldn't cause a wave to head for the city.
17:34Because when you make a splash the wave gets progressively smaller the further it heads from the source.
17:41She has a cell phone.
17:43Why doesn't she just call the people in Restoration HQ so someone can do a PA announcement to evacuate the place.
17:51This is modern day.
17:53She would have a cell phone.
17:55It's easy to assume that it's just a beeper she had.
18:00But why would she have just a beeper in modern day?
18:04Didn't she want someone to call Amy?
18:07They wouldn't have a landline on a flying ship.
18:12People do need to recharge their cell phones.
18:15So it has to be that her cell phone was being recharged at the time.
18:18Because she's apparently very cavalier with its battery use.
18:22Maybe she plays a mobile game on it that drains the battery.
18:26But as soon as you notice this problem there's no excuse for not being explained.
18:31The worst plot holes of all are the ones where you say there wouldn't have been a story then.
18:36Well then write a different story.
18:38Even if she had a beeper instead of a cell phone.
18:41Like apparently Sonic fans have no object permanence.
18:44So if you never see something it doesn't exist in the world.
18:47Sonic still had a wrist communicator in an earlier issue.
18:51Why wouldn't everyone have one?
18:54She wants the ship to be salvageable more easily than it would be in the ocean I guess.
18:59Either the ship as a whole or even just the materials it's made out of.
19:03Plus it could leak oil out to the ocean.
19:06But it'd be so much less expensive and bad to lose one ship.
19:10Than to lose an entire building people work and live in that's obviously more valuable because of it.
19:16There's a lot of people around her.
19:19So it's not just an idiot ball on her.
19:22It's an idiot ball on everyone else around her for not thinking of all this.
19:26It could only be a good idea if the speed of the ship was not fast enough to go that far out towards the ocean in time.
19:33And she can tell by seeing how slow it's moving and how far it is from the ocean.
19:38But it's a huge problem that the story doesn't explain this.
19:42Someone nearer should ask this question and get told this.
19:46Considering how heavy it is you'd think terminal velocity would be pretty fast for it.
19:51Cause it's been falling for so long it would have been a terminal velocity by now wouldn't it have?
19:57Everything here that's not the ocean clearly looks like a building.
20:01And it's a city.
20:03So it's perfectly believable that there's no other choice than either the ocean or a building.
20:09It's just there could have been a more natural way to have the restoration HQ get destroyed.
20:15It could have been completely impossible to change the direction of the blimp.
20:19And it was always heading for the building.
20:22It's already a stretch that you even can change the direction it's falling in.
20:28You could have explained that you have backup controls.
20:32I've heard it suggested that they could just use hoverwispons.
20:36I doubt they would have that many.
20:39It's a freaking airship.
20:41Jetson character again not liking having to take an order from Sonic and way back to tell him to do so.
20:47And at least Jules Rinn to be really upset about this and explain that it's either a crash into this place or the city.
20:54What I hate about this is where are Surgeon Kit supposed to live if it crashes into that place?
21:00Sonic's somehow dumb enough to ask why the heroes are upset about the idea that the ship might blow up a building full of people.
21:07I guess Jets assumed they knew like he does that he could get people out of there.
21:12He motivates Jets to decide to save people by saying whoever gets the most people out of restoration HQ in time wins.
21:20After all they're all faster than the average person so while they all have legs and could run out of there themselves.
21:26It'd be much faster to let speedsters carry them out of there.
21:29And it should go without saying just a thief.
21:32It makes sense to me that a thief would need extra motivation to save people.
21:36Like he's not even just a treasure hunter like Rouge.
21:40It's not even just about stealing jewels which are the most understandable thing to want to steal because they're not useful for anything.
21:48When have we ever seen him saving people in the games?
21:52I figured Mimic would escape.
21:54The comic's all about disappointing me.
21:58Why doesn't Mimic even get hurt?
22:00It's like he's a creator's pet.
22:02Anybody who hated him would want him to get arrested.
22:07Again, nothing motivated me to talk about it.
22:10Until Leiland makes a speech to reassure people that she wants to guide the ship to a safe landing.
22:15Why don't you think she needs to tell people what her name is?
22:19That's so arrogant.
22:21What does that matter?
22:22Why don't you think nobody else but her could guide it?
22:26How can she be so arrogant she still thinks she should guide it?
22:31This is the worst case scenario.
22:33They try to make us feel bad for her after everything she's done.
22:37She at least admits she has a lot to answer for and has made mistakes.
22:42And it would make sense if they didn't trust her.
22:45Her saying she knows how she is doesn't absolve her when she's said this before.
22:50She's even said she'll learn before and we all know how she became after that point.
22:55Acknowledging that mistakes were made isn't an apology.
22:59It's admitting embarrassment over failure.
23:02Not necessarily guilt.
23:04That's why this was compared to a YouTuber apology.
23:08I hate that she's vague about what she's apologizing for and never actually says the words I'm sorry.
23:15Which even Starlight did.
23:17This isn't how you make a satisfying apology.
23:20You can tell the writer is just doing this out of obligation because she would have explained what she did wrong in specific detail.
23:30Whisper had a lot more dedicated to her apology that she shouldn't have even done in the first place.
23:37And you can tell the editor was bored when reading this because he missed a mistake here when skimming the comic.
23:43If you don't want to work me after this.
23:46I shouldn't need to explain this is exactly what abusers say to get forgiven.
23:51Oh this is the most predictable thing ever.
23:54Tangle is nice to her like she's been easily forgiven after she was terrified of her like an abuse victim for the entire arc.
24:01Just because she acted embarrassed.
24:03And somehow even Whisper is completely out of character and forgives her right away instead of being the emotionally distant lone wolf anti-hero we met her as.
24:13Because Layla is the creator's pet.
24:16This is what everyone who hates the comic predicted would happen and it keeps proving us right.
24:23This is why people hate Lanolin.
24:25Because nobody calls her out enough and she gets away with everything.
24:29She's a jerk sue.
24:31It's no wonder people who never read Archie Sonic are calling her Sally Sheeples.
24:36It's the easiest way to tell if someone never read most of Archie Sonic.
24:40If they actually think a sheep girl is awful most of the time it's the same as someone who's polite most of the time and only occasionally acts like an authoritarian friend.
24:49Just because they both nag Sonic.
24:52By that logic tails his Sally.
24:55Layla is a flanderized Sally written by someone who admitted she never read Archie and thus takes people's word for it that this is how she is.
25:03She's not nice most of the time long enough that you get so bored by her that when she is flawed it's the only time she's interesting.
25:12And even then giving her hobbies still would have been better than giving her bitch moments to make her interesting.
25:17I'll admit that.
25:18At least Tango says she's still ticked off.
25:21But that's for later.
25:23Based on the earlier issues I'm willing to bet I'll never see her punish her.
25:28That would be absolute dog shit.
25:31This is so tame it feels like half ass lip service.
25:35At least have her say what she's gonna do or say so we can imagine it.
25:40She should be stripped of her rank after this.
25:43It's not just her being fooled by Mimic that got people mad at her.
25:48She was being annoying before this point.
25:51The story taunts us showing Mimic hiding in a new disguise that he inexplicably still has his black eyes.
25:59When I knew he escaped already.
26:01If it's because he's just now changing into it why did he wait until now to do so?
26:07It's been pointed out that he has gloves on that are just like the gloves he had before.
26:13But that's not a dead giveaway because plenty of people wear those gloves.
26:17And other heroes are looking in his direction and he's behind a whole bunch of people.
26:22But still there's no excuse for him having the same color scheme and gloves.
26:27So the heroes go to warn people to leave.
26:30Which could have been done a lot faster by Jewel calling someone with a cell phone.
26:33So he can make an announcement over a PA system.
26:36Tails and the hippie refuse to leave the base until they fix the good motabug.
26:40That logically should have been fixed a lot earlier than this.
26:44So I don't take this very seriously.
26:46And the fact that Tails is with him already gives away that they're gonna survive.
26:50So there's no tension anymore.
26:52The rescuing is confined to one page making him fast paced enough to be dramatic.
26:58And after the building gets destroyed Sonic's smiling like he hasn't even considered all the people rendered homeless and jobless by this.
27:06Not taking the situation seriously at all.
27:09Just taking it seriously even if for the wrong reason.
27:13Sonic is supposed to be a good person isn't he?
27:16Sure he's supposed to be an anti-hero but there's such a fine line between that and bad person only acting like a hero.
27:23Amy loses hope saying it's all over.
27:26Wasn't she supposed to be optimistic and brave?
27:29Just because she's a girl she's acting like this because Sally would act like this.
27:34Sonic predictably finds Tails completely unharmed.
27:38At that point we're lucky there's a consequence of him coughing from the smoke.
27:42Sonic tells him to save his breath because he's gonna need it.
27:47Sonic tells Bell to kick a big bee because he needs some rubble.
27:51And tells Tails to follow his lead.
27:54So they all escape with a motorbike flying with some extreme gear parts.
27:59While it makes logical sense to shoring the name.
28:02It makes me wonder if they're ashamed of it being from the games because they don't just call it extreme gear parts.
28:08It has to be X gear parts.
28:11Which is less appealing.
28:13Which kind of defeats the point of the reference.
28:16I get to say Tails enjoy being petted in the head and praised.
28:20The hippie references a time off screen where he wanted Tails to work for him.
28:24I'm just wishing he would because he'd be more productive that way.
28:28There's no indication in this comic that he regularly makes and sells things.
28:34Because that would be actually caring about the game universe and character enough to think about what he would do with his time everyday.
28:41Somehow nothing has ever done that.
28:44Amy looks like she feels sorry for Jewel and pets her as she again cries about the building being destroyed.
28:51Somehow with only her crying about it.
28:54When she doesn't even live there.
28:56She isn't even the one who first established the restoration.
28:59Amy feels sorry for it but Sonic just looks serious.
29:04If he was acting like her he'd be acting like a normal likeable person the average person could relate to.
29:11He just looked annoyed at Jewel for crying.
29:14And then responds to Jed only caring about competing with him by laughing saying that it sounds like fun.
29:19Never mind that Jewel's crying right now.
29:22They're not really friends.
29:24He barely spends any time with her or anyone but Tails actually.
29:28But I thought Sonic was supposed to care about everybody.
29:31That's the excuse for why he values the lives of Surge and the Zeti.
29:35What's that compassion really mean when it only extends to mercy?
29:40With Jewel not knowing about Clutch being evil.
29:43I don't even think of the main cast as friends.
29:46Cause friends would talk about their lives with each other on a daily basis.
29:51Or at least every other day.
29:53Tangle's concerned about Jewel and asks if she's okay.
29:58And Landlin's also worried.
30:00But heaven forbid they draw to look sympathetic again.
30:03The silhouette is just so bad looking.
30:06Jewel despairs somehow thinking that the restoration is done.
30:10When it should be immediately obvious that even if they don't have the funds to rebuild it right now.
30:15They could open a donation drive to do so.
30:18And they could rent a vacant building somewhere else to a replacement for it.
30:22It's nice to see Tangle say that's the restoration down there.
30:27The people.
30:29But she shouldn't need to be telling her this.
30:32And Amy should be the one making this speech.
30:35She's made inspirational speeches and heroes.
30:39She and Sonic are the characters people care about more.
30:43And Tangle has barely done anything amazing this whole arc.
30:47She's just been a passive abuse victim who's scared of someone with no special powers.
30:52This wouldn't be cheesy if it came from someone I have a reason to respect right now.
30:57And it wasn't stating the obvious.
31:00Jewel says everyone has work to do.
31:02And even their likable duo is expected to help.
31:05Without me getting to see the work she told everyone to do.
31:08Because that would have been nice.
31:10Sonic and Tails are shown heading home.
31:12With Sonic thinking they've earned a break after saving half the city.
31:16I don't think it was half the city.
31:18A blimp's not that big.
31:20You're underestimating how big a city is.
31:23People do exaggerate when they talk.
31:25And Sonic's got an ego.
31:27So I guess this is believable.
31:29If there was a whole city we saw from up there.
31:32That's the smallest urban area ever.
31:34And the fact that they get to go home after this.
31:37Just highlights how pointless it was that they destroyed it.
31:41If they had destroyed their house.
31:44That would have had a lot more emotional impact.
31:47Because they would have had to get a new place.
31:50Because they would have had to find somewhere else to sleep.
31:54The heroes noticed someone broke into their house.
31:57Even though Tails made it impossible for even Kitsunami to do.
32:01Why didn't they just have a window get broken?
32:04That would have explained it.
32:06But nevermind.
32:07That would make you wonder why Kitsunami didn't break the window.
32:11The last Chaos Emerald generator core was stolen.
32:15It's intuitive that Sonic would give the Emerald to Tails.
32:18Because Tails is his best friend.
32:20And it's intuitive that he would use it as a generator core.
32:23And the story ends with it being an underground dark place.
32:27That sort of reminds me of that cave with a giant salamander.
32:30But it wouldn't be able to get out of that cave.
32:32And nobody knew about that cave.
32:34And it didn't know where they were.
32:36I thought they were going to come home to find out that Surge and Kits broke in.
32:40And were sleeping somewhere in their house.
32:42You'd think he would at least worry about the idea of Surge breaking into his house.
32:46And secretly eating his food.
32:48Because that's another place she knows.
32:50And she doesn't care what he thinks of her.
32:52She knows he's not going to get out of trouble.
32:55I really hate that the story ended without explaining who took the Emerald right away.
33:00The comic takes a pretty long time to make new villains.
33:04And I've been told that every new character has to be approved by Sega first.
33:08And that's why Lanlin the Authoritarian is a background character that was already made.
33:12Because they would have had to run a personality by Sega first if they made a new character for that role.
33:17So it's unlikely that they'd go through the effort of making a new villain to take the Emerald.
33:22Kits the only villain besides Eggman who's been shown to know where Tails lives.
33:27You'd think it'd be him.
33:28If it was anyone else, I'd again have to point out how convenient it is that this villain hasn't killed Sonic in his sleep by now.
33:35Yeah, Tails' house being so obvious is an even bigger plot hole than before when there's more villains than just Eggman.
33:41Because it's even harder to believe that more than just Eggman thinks he'd be unsatisfying and simply break in and kill Sonic in his sleep.
33:48You'd think Mimic would do that.
33:50He's such an incompetent character.
33:53He's not able to be as competent as you'd expect from how he looks and acts because that wouldn't be kid friendly.
33:59For all I was building up to, you'd expect Mimic to do something to the heroes when he reveals himself.
34:04He could've had a weapon that would let him do some damage and then run away instead of having to just take off because he's outnumbered and helpless.
34:12Mimic should've been the one who caused the blimp to crash.
34:15I'm so pissed that it ended without telling me where Surge and Kit went to sleep after this.
34:20It's like they don't even care about them.
34:23This issue by Evan Stanley has Clutch get knocked out by Surge to be kidnapped by Eggman.
34:30And then the heroes get people out of HQ as the blimp is said to crash on top of it.
34:35When I thought it was being pulled upwards earlier, so why couldn't that just keep happening?
34:41Nevermind, the cars could run out of fuel before getting the blimp to a deserted area.
34:46It is a city, so it stands to reason that a deserted area would be way too far away to get the blimp slowly dragged to in time.
34:54It's a heavy blimp, so it would only be moved so fast, regardless of how many flying cars are pulling it with the things it's connecting them with.
35:02That the comic conveniently glossed over the obtaining of out of thin air.
35:07The story should've explained that.
35:10Again, I had to come up with headcanon to justify the story.
35:15I also hate that Clutch was kidnapped instead of put in prison, or worse.
35:21So he essentially got off scot-free.
35:23That's not how you end the arc properly.
35:26They don't have the guts to show Eggman torturing him.
35:29Maybe he'll put him in a bad neck, but that would be like the games.
35:33I'm thinking he's just gonna make an alliance with him.
35:36Maybe he'll try to experiment on him, try to figure out how to cyborgize him.
35:41I don't think he'll do that either.
35:43Cause that would be cool.
35:45I do love that it's about the heroes actually saving people directly.
35:49Which would happen way more often.
35:52It's got such an impression on me, it's easy to forget how little pages in the story it makes up.
36:00It doesn't really make sense to say it's a good story based off such a tiny percentage of it.
36:06But I'm smiling right now because I'm so glad this arc is over.
36:11We only got to see Sonic hurt clutch one time.
36:15So the whole fight scene was worthless.
36:18And with how seriously taken that the base got destroyed.
36:22It's unsettling that Sonic doesn't care about the destruction of it.
36:25Like he hasn't even considered the consequences to people because of it.
36:29In contrast to everyone else caring about it.
36:33He doesn't look like he pities anyone.
36:36He doesn't even think about people becoming homeless and temporarily jobless.
36:41The same guy had a lot to say in thought bubbles in the comic before.
36:46So if he was thinking about these people, we'd know.
36:50If he really cared about Surge, he would feel bad that she's got nowhere to sleep and eat now.
36:56Her being homeless has some story potential.
36:59So I can't wait to see what they do with that.
37:02The story does have a few sort of satisfying and nice moments feeling like it's ending off an arc.
37:08But that's not all we should care about when the disappointing writing around them is always distracting me and keeping me with a skeptical look on my face regardless.
37:16I hate that the issue didn't explain where Surge and Kit went to sleep and eat after this since the writer doesn't care about them.
37:23And it sure would be ridiculously convenient if they just happened to run around long enough to find a cave that they didn't know was anywhere in the area so they could sleep there.
37:33And that someone saw the problem of what they get to eat and what toilet they get to use.
37:39And a minor thing is that I wish Vector didn't arbitrarily need help to push open a vault door from the most annoying villains ever.
37:47Also, it's pretty lame to see them push open it instead of just punching it in.
37:52As an ending to an arc, it really sucked.
37:56I wanted to see Clutch get smacked around like a Looney Tunes character.
38:01Mimic did nothing.
38:03Clutch got taken away but not taken to prison.
38:07And Whisper didn't get in one I told you so.
38:11Instead she says she's made mistakes before when she barely ever has.
38:17She's just reverencing the fact that she made mistakes off screen because everyone has.
38:24So I don't think it deserves to be bought.
38:27It's not like the fans wouldn't like it anymore if it did get rid of its flaws.
38:32What about applying what the critics say it should do for the comic would ruin the comic for the fans?
