00:00Sonic the Hedgehog Fortress of Fear. I like that Sally's vest is pink for once,
00:06and it's also interesting that they have the AOSCH design for Eggman in a story
00:11that's Sad AM. These look like mistakes, but they would have had to have done it
00:16on purpose to be creative, because they would have been shown material from both
00:20shows to know to use material from both shows. Why does it start out recapping
00:26the backstory at Sad AM when anyone reading this would already know it? And
00:31even if it's for the sake of any kids that didn't watch it that had their
00:34parents feel like buying it for them anyways, you don't need to read this
00:38boring page to be invested in the story. You're not gonna be like, what? I don't
00:44understand. Why would Sonic and his friends want to go against Robotnik? Because
00:49that's just like the games anyways. The story says that reading and music and
00:55playing are illegal, just like Kanachi. And like there, I have to assume this is
01:00inspired by Eggman being sadistic in the games, but it's not thought through.
01:04Because there's no reason Eggman would waste the time outlawing that stuff that
01:09only non-robians would do, when he wants everyone to be a robot anyways. No non-robians
01:15and robotopolis were going to get the chance to do that stuff while knowing it was
01:20illegal anyways. Because they immediately started trying to get all of them
01:24roboticized for no stated reason regardless. It's written because Eggman is
01:30evil, but it ends up being redundant because it goes on to talk about
01:33roboticization. It's also redundant because it was mentioned two books ago, and
01:39apparently the books are canon to each other. It says no one on Mobius feels safe
01:44anymore when that's not true because not all exists. It starts with Rotor in a
01:50cell, and I don't know why the narration is still using past tense at this point
01:54when saying that Rotor was a member of Sally's team and Sally was the daughter
01:58of the good King of Mobius. As if they're being described after they died. And again,
02:04it's weird that it says King of Mobius as a whole. I'm supposed to believe the
02:09King of an entire planet is good. Now I know why Penders had Sally say that her
02:14dad ruled Mobius. It was part of the canon of Sadia that they could access that
02:19described it in general. I say this because I don't remember that being
02:23established in the show. There would have been a lot of wars involved just to get
02:28the King to that point. Maybe not necessarily waged by him, but by his
02:33ancestors. So it definitely comes in conflict with the Acorn family being good.
02:39It makes sense that the story starts out with Rotor already in a cell, because we
02:44can already guess how he got kidnapped. The Swap-Up just picked him up when
02:48Sonic wasn't around. Instead starts out at the intriguing part. A woodchuck mobian
02:55gets put in the same cell as Rotor, who asks him if he's alright, which
02:59re-establishes that he's compassionate. The woodchuck says he's a freedom fighter
03:04and reveals that realistically there's more groups of freedom fighters than just
03:08Sally's. Yeah, that makes sense. And that's revealed in the show, too. Almost like that was
03:16supposed to tell us that everyone does want to fight Eggman, not just one group. And
03:21everyone who has the free time does so. It's just that most people don't because
03:26they have jobs. The story gets boring as they have predictable dialogue between
03:32each other, and it references the idea from Satiem of the King's list of all the
03:37names and locations of freedom fighters put together. Why isn't a genius
03:41questioning this? Why isn't a genius questioning the fact that the King had
03:47names of freedom fighter groups? Yeah, of course he thought the list was just a
03:52legend, because it sounds ridiculous when it was put together before the King was
03:57even usurped. It's not like the King escaped from Eggman at first and ran
04:02around like Queen Alina putting together such a list. That would have made him look
04:06cool. I'm just gonna call the woodchuck the woodchuck anyways, because name sucks.
04:12Rotor says if the two groups merged, they'd be even stronger, even though things were better
04:19before, because with the two groups separate, they would be attacking separate places. And
04:24there isn't anything to be gained from one big group inconveniencing one place. I sure
04:30hope he says this again at the end of the story, and he's told why they didn't go with that idea.
04:35It's encouraging how Rotor and the woodchuck are optimistic enough to be full
04:39of hope, talking as if they aren't in cells. Simply wastes my time gloating about what
04:45he's obviously planning to do to them. Why hasn't he planned to have Rotor
04:49roboticized before this one? He's a friend of his most hated enemy. This is such a
04:55boring part. If the story could only move faster. I noticed that the writer isn't
05:02spelling the word SWATBOT with the first four letters of it capitalized. Is this supposed
05:08to be seen as a mistake? Because I'd rather it not be. Having to capitalize those letters
05:13every time is a pain. I don't know why Rotor isn't grabbed by the other SWATBOT since there's
05:18more than one of them there, and there's no reason that multiple of them would be required
05:23for dragging someone off to a roboticizer. Rotor thinks that if Eggman ever got the list,
05:30he could locate every one of the heroes of Mobius. So he's under the assumption that
05:35Knothole was the only place that was established as a secret hideaway area for people to go
05:39live in just in case there was a coup. Which would be stupid for a king that already had
05:45that level of caution and foresight. Rotor thinks he's got to get out of that cell which
05:50would be a waste of time to write if he's not gonna surprise me by getting out of the cell
05:54on his own. Which he could do by like getting an invention out like a pocket robot that can
05:59buzzsaw or laser through a floor. Sonic runs up to the main entrance of Eggman's Fortress with
06:05Bunny riding on his shoulders. He has some jokey dialogue pretending that he's a train despite the
06:12fact that they know Rotor is kidnapped. Which could just be an act from him trying to make her feel
06:17better and reassure himself so he wouldn't get lost in this seriousness and despair. I wonder if
06:23it's the norm for Rotor to get kidnapped. The problem is that we never got to see his initial
06:28reaction to learning what happened to him. If he didn't react to it emotionally at all or just looked
06:33annoyed, then that imply he doesn't care. But instead just have to assume that he was in character
06:39by looking alarmed and taking it seriously at first. The point is, the writer didn't think this through.
06:44He just had Sonic act like he usually does to look in character and charming right away.
06:48But this is the first time the story's shown him, and the tone of the story was deathly serious at
06:53first. But he's not taking this dead serious tone seriously. Comedy is supposed to relieve tension
07:00after scary moments, not drawing them. At least Bunny instantly latches that this isn't a time for jokes
07:07and sets the tone back to where it belongs, calling it a horrible place that gets her the creeps from
07:11returning to it, which is in good service to Eggman as a character. She's talking just like Sally.
07:18It's interesting to see her show a different side to her than the cheerful nice girl, and in a believable
07:23context that doesn't just put her in a bad light. She's being a buzzkill too, but since she's not
07:29Sally, I trust her to still like him for who he is and just be saying this because he'd do better if he's
07:34concentrating. The story bores me by saying she's remembering that she had been half roboticized in
07:39this fortress. She says their first problem is getting across the moat. I assume this moat was
07:46here before. Why did they not spend any time thinking of a planet on the way here? Sonic tells her to hold
07:52tight and does a supersonic spin to glide across the water to the other side. Why is it water and not
07:59pollution that Eggman can spare no problem? He doesn't have to be in spin dash form for it.
08:06I guess he never tried it without the spin dash because he never had access to that much liquid
08:10with the free time to do so safely, and he can still do it by running. That's a nice assumption.
08:16I doubt the writer knew that. Also, the only way Bunny would not get motion sick from spinning with Sonic
08:22would be if either she was also immune to motion sickness, or holding Sonic makes his immunity to it
08:27transfer to you temporarily. Bunny somehow thinks the Crocs would be a danger to someone who can
08:33move faster than they can. At least her not being smart isn't as bad. But still, she's just like Sally
08:40here. Even taking Sonic literally when the writer forced him to say everybody stand back when there's
08:46no one here but them. He made himself look lame trying too hard to be cool. He doesn't have to try
08:52to make himself look cool through words. Now listen on this way. The moat doesn't need to be a water
08:59one to have this croc hazard. It would have been in character for Eggman if they were robot crocs in
09:05a polluted moat. Then it would be doing something that still feels new without being unlike him. The
09:11story didn't need to have it take so long for Sonic to get across the moat. They don't have the good
09:17chemistry they're supposed to have. It should have just had Sonic go straight to spin dashing, which
09:22he should have already known to do if he could figure that out so fast. The story was begging for
09:27the pacing to get fast and just stood still. Bunny had better be useful to make up for slowing him
09:34down. Why did one of the crocs get the chance to jump out of the water and head for them when Sonic's
09:39supposed to be super sonic fast? He would have gone all the way across the moat in a second. If he's
09:46really fast enough to spin dash across the water, that could only work if he is that fast. And even
09:53then I think it's still a magical ability because water is not solid under something even for an
09:57instant. Bunny raises their arm and he hits the croc so that they could reach the far side of the
10:04moat. Oh right, Vector's a crocodile. These make sense because apes still exist in a world with humans.
10:10These are uninvolved crocodiles. Too bad we didn't see Vector react to them. Even though Vector was
10:16part of the original concept art for Sonic 1 and Knuckles Chaotix was the same year as this.
10:22I'm just bored. And that would have been an even minor humorous thing for a boring story. Bunny sees
10:29a swamp bot threaten her and does a flying kick to its head which smashes its bits. Cool. She does two
10:36things that never happen in Sad AM. She bothers to try to fight the robots and succeeds. So because
10:43they're not invincible, there's no reason to use them instead of animal shaped robots we're used to
10:48seeing get smashed. Even Sonic's Super Sonic Spin defeats the robots. They've officially got no menace
10:57at all and the serious tone that the story started out with is obliterated. It went from like a lost
11:02episode of Sad AM to a typical day in the games. Except without the heroes getting to be happy that an animal
11:08popped out of the robot. At this point it'd be better to do that. Why not? It's got no excuse now.
11:16It also takes longer to say Super Sonic Spin than Spin Dash or Spin Jump.
11:22Rotor removes from his camp a microtransmitter tracking device for the heroes. Why did he make it
11:28so badly that his friends have to be close to him to pick up its signal? I thought Sonic would just run
11:34around the place and happen to find him because he's fast. So this transmitter didn't need to exist.
11:40This whole scene is worthless. I already knew he was going to get led to a roboticizer.
11:47Bunny needed to kick a steel door multiple times to rip an opening in it large enough for her and
11:52Sonic to slip through. At first I think she's being nerfed. The good faith way to look at this is
11:58that the door is just that well made. And it's a very plausible assumption this time because the
12:03door was made because of a virgin of Eggman who's been ruling the world for 10 years with Sonic not
12:09trapped in a cell. Because the heroes can fight robots. They don't have to come up with a clever
12:15strategy to save Router. But it still happens. But not on Sonic and Bunny's part, which would have
12:21made them look like they have a complexity addiction. Like Sonic had in the last book.
12:27The robot holding Router raises his blaster. And as soon as it shoots a bunny, Router pushes the
12:34blaster up so it hits the ceiling. He jumps away from the collapsing ceiling that crushes the robot.
12:41Now I'm doubly impressed. Because they didn't have to write him getting to use his brain and beat
12:46a robot in a creative way. Still, if you can have the robots be fought normally, then most of the time
12:53this kind of thing isn't going to happen. Because the writer no longer has to try so hard.
12:59Mandates against certain things are bad because they limit creativity that most people would like.
13:05But what about a mandate that absolutely requires you to not do a generic overdone thing that most
13:11people wouldn't actually appreciate? There's a rare exception when the greatest thing about a story is
13:17much more likely to happen as a result of a restriction. For this reason, the 7am book should
13:23have had a mandate against the heroes being able to simply destroy robots with their own powers.
13:29Or even stuff they'd have brought from home. Since it'd be just as easy and become repetitive.
13:36It would have been twice as impressed if Bunny had to use strategy to take out the first robot.
13:41But instead, the characters and writer got to take the easy way out.
13:45Rotor thanks his friends for the rescue. Sonic tells them to form a chain with Sonic in the lead
13:51and he runs home. And then the next page wastes my time with Snively having to tell Eggman about
13:57the escape as if I would care about this boring scene. There's no indication in the narration that
14:03only Snively could have gone to Eggman's control room. Why doesn't the scene of Sonic and Bunny show up
14:09and give Eggman a cathartic fight and try to take him to jail or worse? The heroes must know they
14:15can't get past some obstruction between this door and where Sonic was that we should have seen.
14:21I only figured this out after several minutes because Sonic never explains this and I was given
14:28no reason to think that. I'm only giving them the benefit of the doubt because we're supposed to
14:33think they're heroes. Eggman says he's ordered his robots to rip the fortress apart until they'd
14:39find the list. If it wasn't on the person of the woodchuck, why does he think it's in his fortress
14:44at all? Like, how else did he find out about the list? He didn't say he put a bug in the cell so that
14:52he could listen in on them. The heroes go home through the stump slide that means Knothole is thankfully
14:58underground and Tails asks them if they're okay. I hate that Sonic called Tails' little guy. Again,
15:06it's the story being condescending to him. And it continued with that when Tails said,
15:11Juicin' wow! The heroes shouldn't be amazed at the idea that they're not the only ones who have the
15:16free time and courage to fight Eggman, when there's billions of people in the world, which is big enough
15:22to have more than one hiding spot like Knothole. Rotor calls Tails' pal, even though it is preceded by
15:29Little, and says Eggman's looking for the list. Sally wants to find the list first and states the
15:35obvious as if we weren't trusted to understand why. She says her father made a list of all the brave and
15:43true warriors in the kingdom. So that's more believable. It wasn't a list of people who were
15:50already freedom fighters. If there's supposed to be a meaning to her describing it this way.
15:56What does she mean true warriors though? She must mean strong. Sally says the list was hidden in the
16:02king's palace, which is now Eggman's fortress. So the renovations were just putting new walls around
16:09the old walls, which is cheaper and smarter than demolition. Sally brings out a locked steel box where
16:16she had kept her father's important papers. Why did she think she needs to explain when she found
16:21the papers? Only Tails would not know. And what's the point of telling him this? Rotor points to a
16:28small circle on the bottom of the box suspiciously. It's a good thing it's written that this is the
16:33first time he's seen it. This is what it took until now to press down on the circle and twist to slide
16:39a panel open revealing a piece of paper. Sally calls Rotor a genius and Rotor says she's just good at
16:45figuring out how things work. The narration says he's saying this modestly and he says it can spot a
16:51latch for a secret compartment very easily. She can just barely read words that mention the bed and
16:58tucked in tight. And the words seem familiar. Somehow she doesn't assume there's something her father
17:04told her whenever he tucked her in. The faded piece of paper is just a clue but where the list is.
17:10I thought it would be the list. How inconvenient that the king wrote with an ink that's lame enough
17:16to fade. Or paper that is. The ink I used never faded. How would the world be so backwards he would
17:24have backwards ink or paper? When Eggman knew how to make robots. I doubt the writer of a sad AM novel
17:31would have had access to what was planned to be revealed in season 3 about Eggman Snively being
17:36from space after humans left the world. But that's the only explanation for this. The next morning,
17:42the heroes started trying to figure out how to find the list. Why did they wait until the next morning?
17:48Eggman could have found it by now. They should have known that. Sally reiterates what they know and
17:54Sonic says he's back to the fortress then. Bunny says they'd be expecting him to go there. And Antoine
18:00knows that and calls Sonic impatient and impulsive condescendingly. This is frustrating not just
18:06because he's rude to Sonic, but also because if Sonic was really impatient, he would have gone back
18:11to the fortress as soon as he brought Rotor home. Sonic cathartically says, all you ever want to do is
18:17sit around and talk. This would apply to all of his friends here. He says another line that's in
18:23character for Sonic. I say, action speaks louder than words. It isn't relevant context though.
18:31Antoine says out of nowhere that Sonic would put Sally in danger again. Even though Sonic never
18:37mentioned freeing Sally with him. And there was no reason to think he would. I don't even see why he
18:43would need to bring anyone with him. He could go back there and run around the whole fortress and
18:49eventually find the list. And it's frustrating that he doesn't say this. Although if he was really a
18:56character, he would have just gone there without caring enough about what they think to even explain.
19:01Because it's an anti-hero. The writer seems to take Antoine's side because he makes Sonic just look
19:07flawed for wanting to do the smart thing. Sally says, will you two please stop arguing?
19:12It's slightly rude but more polite than someone else would have put it. It has the word please in it.
19:19And it's a question to pretend that it's a suggestion instead of an order. Sally says that because they'll
19:26be expecting them, they should wait until after dark and then travel undercover at night. And somehow
19:33nobody points out that this wouldn't change anything because robots probably don't sleep. And with their
19:39luck, Eggman would stay up all night waiting for them. And Eggman could find the list by the time
19:44they got to the fortress. Sonic is never afraid to talk back to Sally, so why would her position keep
19:50him from saying or doing anything? Why would he not just go to the fortress anyways? He went against
19:58royal authority and Archie plenty of times. It's because the writer is lazy enough to force the plot to
20:04happen at the expense of the characters. So all of them look like idiots, as they take until just
20:10after nightfall to start heading out of the base. If they wait until just after nightfall, there's no
20:16reason to think Eggman wants to sleep by now. So they waited for nothing. Tails is inexplicably worried
20:22about them telling them to be careful and saying good luck, which is there to remind us of his compassion,
20:28but it's pretty stupid in a world where they can one-shot robots. Sonic tells him not to worry and
20:34calls him Little Guy again and pats him gently on the head. He naturally points out that he's too
20:40quick to get in trouble. I shouldn't have to compliment this, but it's nice that none of his friends are
20:45written to verbally disagree with him on this. The narration says that they slipped out of Knothole,
20:51but they need to use a spring to get out of the Great Oak Slide. So slipped out is a weird way of saying that.
20:58Sally says Bunny's got superior night vision to help them. It's cool that she was given a new ability.
21:05Since this isn't something that requires magic because some animals are like that,
21:10I can only assume this comes from her being a rabbit.
21:13Loruses have an enhanced ability to see in low light conditions. It's just that they have bad vision
21:19anyways. So Bunny indeed has the superior night vision. Hedgehogs also have better night vision than us,
21:26but bad vision in general. It's a good thing she said superior. And it's not being realistic
21:32anyways because Rotor and Sonic don't wear contacts. And now Nikki from the manga wearing glasses makes
21:39even more sense. The heroes see that the door Bunny had kicked in had been replaced by an even
21:45thicker concrete door already in just a day. I guess nanobots did its offense. These idiots deserve this
21:53for waiting so long to go here. It's a good thing Bunny explains that she won't be able to muscle her
21:59way in because we were never told the limits of her super strength. So I would have been skeptical
22:05otherwise. Still, the fact remains that she's just assuming she can't kick it down and should at least
22:12try once the robots are destroyed. Rotor hooks up a device into one of Nicole's input ports.
22:19The narration says that the heroes felt like Nicole was almost one of their family because she couldn't
22:24speak. Nicole says she can't feel pain after pointing out that it was kind of Rotor to say this
22:30won't hurt. But why didn't Sonic already know that the invention was a high frequency generator that
22:36could reprogram the robots? Oh, this is overpowered. Because it didn't happen in Sad AM. Why aren't they
22:43just sending Sonic and Bunny over there and having them destroy the robots? I assume they're not going
22:49to be smart enough to use them against Eggman himself. It pretends it's not overpowered by making it take
22:54several minutes to work. The invention with an overly long name makes the leader of the robot slide the
23:01front door open and then keeps the robot still. Why does Sally say there's our chance? They didn't have
23:09a time limit and they're the ones who made this happen. Sonic has to ferry the heroes across the moat
23:15one by one because he didn't come here alone. It should have been explained they thought that if he
23:21brought them along with multiple people looking for the list the list would be found faster. Even
23:27though it'd still be found only slightly faster. The heroes are able to simply walk past the frozen
23:33robots because of the invention. This isn't visually interesting or cathartic to imagine compared to
23:40them being destroyed or even hidden from as they run down a hall. There's a reason this is practically
23:45never done in Sonic. It has a novelty value going for it but it's not a good enough idea that it should
23:52be done more than once. And I think it happened in the reboot once. Sally starts reading the words about
23:58her bed and Antoine says there was a safe right next to the king's bed of all places. She says good
24:04thinking which is nice and I'm wondering why I didn't say this earlier and why Sally didn't know this
24:10instead. Because she lived in that castle. The story then gets sidetracked by showing Eggman yelling
24:16at his robots to keep searching even after getting told they searched everywhere. We already know he's
24:22a dick. This is boring. Sniffley sees the heroes on camera footage and wants to impress Eggman by
24:29capturing them himself to show him that he should be in charge of watching camera footage where usually
24:34nothing happens all the time. It makes no sense. We didn't need to have the scene. What's the point of
24:41building tension when the heroes can destroy the robots and have plot armor and last book Sonic spin
24:47dash through a cage? There is nothing that can actually challenge them. The story wastes my time
24:53for a page until they make it to the king's bedroom. And Antoine thinks it's a good idea to say he has many
24:59fond memories of her and her father here. Even though this is a tough situation for her. So she
25:05cries that she misses her father and doubts she'll ever see him again. Sonic puts his arm around her
25:11and reassures her. But he should have gone into the room while they were wasting time standing there.
25:18Sally thanks Sonic and kisses him on the head and says he's a good friend. Do I even need to point it
25:24out at this point? And they find Snively and robots in the room. For no reason the heroes stand there
25:30letting Snively gloat instead of fighting their robots instantly so one of the robots frustratingly
25:36knocks Rotor's invention out of his hand. This happened because somehow Rotor didn't run out of
25:41the room first. And for no reason he had it designed so that he had to turn on the reprogramming wave
25:47more than once during an adventure. And for no reason the invention is built poorly enough
25:53to break when it hits the floor. Although it wouldn't have worked for several minutes anyways.
25:59Nicole's undamaged because we can't have any real consequences. Sonic and Bunny start fighting
26:05the robots. And Antoine chips Snively before he could try to grab Sally. I'm impressed with Antoine
26:11for actually getting to do something useful. But Sally was facing Snively. You'd think she would've
26:17just been able to put her shoe up so he would run into it. This is more satisfying because Antoine
26:23got to justify himself for once. Snively sat running away and the heroes for some reason run across
26:30the room at the safe and only then discover it's been smashed and looted. When they should've been
26:35able to see that from where they used to be. Maybe they do have bad vision. Rotor should've invented
26:41contacts for them. They're surprised that Snively was telling the truth. Which explains why they even
26:47bothered. Then unlike me they assumed he was lying. Sally irrationally assumes Eggman already has the
26:53list when for all she knows robot with the list could be on his way to him. Rotor fixes his robot
27:00brainwasher in minutes because he had a bag of tools in his pack. I was only misled that there would be a
27:06consequence to the thing getting damaged. There was no point in having it damaged and frustrating me with
27:12how forced it was if he could fix it so easily in the same place he was already in. It just happened
27:18for the shock value. It's a shame Sonic didn't have the good sense to run away and start searching the
27:24whole fortress and instead stood still while Rotor was busy. If all of them are going to look in the
27:30same place, what's the point of multiple people searching? Bunny's there to protect Rotor and the
27:36rest have legs. Why are the heroes freezing in fear from hearing a robot walking when they can one-shot
27:42them? Antoine asks if Snively sent them. Wasting my time because it doesn't matter. Rotor somehow
27:50thinks it does and reprograms the robot to give them information. So they find out the list hasn't
27:57been found. Sally figures out that a bag you can't fall from means a crib. Why didn't you figure this
28:03out earlier? The heroes had nothing but free time to study the clues. It's all Antoine's fault they
28:10wasted their time checking the wrong bedroom. I understand it would be in Sally's room right away.
28:16Why is the crib still here when Sally was five when the kingdom was taken over?
28:21Sally sighs because she hates the idea of having to destroy a mattress that symbolized their old happy
28:26memories. Rotor takes a sharp blade from his tool pouch and it was all for nothing,
28:32which I predicted because it's not the end of the story. A huge bolt locks outside the nursery door.
28:39Why does it waste the Swapbot having it stand guard when he knows the heroes in the room can destroy
28:45them effortlessly and the heroes tend to break free of whatever place they're trapped in? The Swapbots
28:51clearly aren't fast enough to fight Sonic if they never get it hidden. He should be hiding the robots from
28:57them actually. Snively runs away wanting to find Eggman. Not that he would have been able to stop the
29:03heroes from escaping anyways. Why can't he call Eggman on a cell phone or something? Eggman can make
29:10anything! Rotor tries to reprogram the robot and they wait a few moments but nothing happened. It takes
29:17several minutes to reprogram, remember? Did it take several minutes to reprogram that guy to tell them that
29:23the list wasn't found yet? I mean he was walking down a hallway the whole time. He should have found
29:29them in all the time it should have taken. Why does he assume that Snively changed the frequency of the
29:34robots' brain waves, which is somehow something that he can even do while keeping them functional?
29:41The heroes almost all despair, including Sonic for some reason, and Sally refuses to believe it's over,
29:47when normally she's a cautious wet blanket who would be the last person to say this. This is an obvious
29:54please like her moment from the writer. This would have made more sense for Sonic to say. So what if
30:00they're trapped in a room? Eggman would have to get them out of their room to get them to a roboticizer.
30:05So the door is going to open eventually, and then they can just fight their way out.
30:09Rotor comes over to try to give her a hug. That's nice, and he accidentally knocks an old music box off a
30:15small table, which makes it play the lullaby her father played for and makes her remember that the
30:20clues are the lyrics to the lullaby. Duh. Even smart people can be clumsy in this way, so this is
30:27believable. The story shouldn't need luck though. I saw this revelation coming from a mile away because
30:34the clues said tucked in tight. How did they not know this? Sonic should have known this just from
30:41reading the clues in the first place. This should have been its first stomp. They get an idea about
30:47where the list is that's a red heron. And then Sally remembers that she can pull a book to reveal a
30:52secret staircase leading them out of the room. Cliches to the rescue. There was no reason this would even
31:00be a thing in the building. Why would it be in Sally's room? There's no point in them getting locked in the room if
31:06they were always going to discover this. They could have had the idea because they watched too many
31:12movies. They found a storage room, but the clock in it is empty. And Sally makes the weird plan to have
31:19Sonic slip inside the bottom half of some robot and move its legs. And if Sonic in disguise as a robot
31:26lead all of them to Eggman. Somehow Antoine thinks this sounds dangerous when Bunny's able to fight
31:32robots. Sally waits until now to explain her motive behind this convoluted plan, where she never
31:39explains how she knows where Eggman's going to be. Eggman will be caught off guard when Sonic and Bunny
31:44births from the armor to get the list. The story wastes my time showing Eggman bragging that he got the
31:50list, and then why is that a robot's reporting to him with prisoners? Eggman has to press a button on a
31:56console for the dorts' main room to slide open. Okay, that's step one. It explains why they needed a
32:04robot to get to his room. They must have somehow had a way to activate his voice box so that it sounds
32:10like a robot's reporting to him and not Sonic. So that's step one, which could have been gone around
32:17by a rotor using invention. Step two is explaining that the door is made of something Bunny can't destroy.
32:23Step three is explaining that Sonic always knew this and that's why he didn't go chase down Eggman last
32:29time he was here. Without explaining that, it's so forced that Bunny didn't just get run here with
32:35Sonic and smash down the door. They're gonna beat him up now, right? Because he's the main villain and
32:41we hate him? They should beat him up, but all they do is have Sonic take the list and make him dizzy with
32:47a spin dash around him. Just because it's a kids' series, why doesn't Bunny even try to carry Eggman
32:54and then hold Sonic while he runs to a jail cell? Sonic's acceleration never tears the arm off anyone,
33:02because he transfers his ability to handle speed to them, which is why he didn't tear off Elise's arm
33:08when he ran with her in Sonic 06. He makes people around him faster when he runs beside them. So Bunny should
33:15knock out and drag Eggman with them as Sonic drags them to jail. These people aren't written like they
33:21care about making the world a better place. Them just leaving Eggman there makes them responsible
33:27for every horrible thing he'll go on to do. That's way more evil than the one little good of showing
33:33Mercy to one person. It's a separate continuity on its own, so there's no excuse for ending it like this.
33:40If you're not allowed to have him get the slapstick he deserves, even though AOSCH didn't shy away from
33:45giving him slapstick, and even sending him to the hospital with broken bones, then don't write Sonic to
33:51be able to get into the same room as him, because it makes him look psychotically selfish for thinking
33:57it's not skewed priorities to value their thinking that they're good people over making the planet free.
34:03What were they thinking? Just have the list be where they thought it would be in the first place.
34:09It looks like they don't want to hurt him. I expect the main characters in an action series to be cool,
34:15and that should be the priority first and foremost over them being relatable, specifically when being
34:21relatable makes them bad at being heroes. You shouldn't say they should always be cool though,
34:26because them never being flawed to anyone's eyes would keep them from being relatable and even
34:31believable after a while, which would mean that most people wouldn't look up to them because
34:35they just look like unrealistic creator's pets. So more relatable and flawed is better, just not
34:42when it makes a character bad at his whole thing. It should have had Sonic chase Eggman down and punch
34:48him, only for Eggman to press a button on his robot arm, warping him to safety, because he has a robot
34:55arm in Sadie M, but it's something you can look past in the games. Logically, some of the animals you
35:01put in badniks would end up with PTSD from their kidnapping, but it's never revealed. Snively somehow
35:08has the guts to make an excuse to not do work that is at least seen through, and then argue with Eggman,
35:15who cathartically calls him a spineless lazy fool. Snively sadly gets to point out he was written to
35:21one-up the main villain because he captured the heroes three times while he did nothing.
35:28Sonic goes home, Tails says he's really glad he's back, gets called little buddy, and the predictable
35:34boring lines are written ending the story. Why write a story about them getting a list like this when
35:40they already got it in Sadie M? Well I don't think there was a story about the heroes searching Eggman's
35:46house for something and getting captured twice. Snively also hugs Sonic, thanking him, and Sonic
35:53makes himself sound humble by saying no problem. He annoys me saying Mobius is practically already a
35:59better place to live. Stop pretending you care about that. It would be if you did something about Eggman.
36:07He even ends a story somehow talking as if he would need the help of other hero groups to get rid of
36:12Eggman. This story by Michael T. Telbaum is about Roeder getting rescued, and then the hero's looking
36:20for a list in the former castle. Even though the list was already found in Sadie M itself, so it's
36:26lazy to reuse it in the bunk. And lazy writing is what ruins the whole thing. It doesn't impress me with
36:32the heroes using strategy to beat the robot, because it just goes the lazy route, and suddenly having
36:38Sonic able to defeat them, along with Bunny, which you'd expect but destroys all of the tension.
36:45Making Snively's efforts to capture the hero is always a waste of time. Although it is technically
36:50an original premise, because of being trapped in rooms in Eggman's house. On purpose. It's a shame that
36:58the cover of the book didn't mean anything when it had AOSCH Eggman. It could have worked to tell you
37:04that the story is going to be a mix of Sadie M and AOSCH, and at least that would have made the story
37:08interesting enough. Also, it could have had a different universe selling. Roeder's already been
37:14captured in Sadie M. I think the moat with Crocs was done in AOSCH, and Sonic dealt with it like he
37:20did with the River and Archie story in this book. There's constantly boring parts of the story because
37:26the book was slow pacing to make it last so many pages, which would have been solved by having two stories.
37:33The most interesting part of the story was I believe this was the first time that the concept
37:37of a handheld robot mass reprogrammer existed. The only reason Sonic apparently couldn't have
37:44gotten the list on his own was that the only way to get into Eggman's control room is to disguise
37:50yourself as a robot. I would have expected Sonic to be smart enough to come up with a plan on his own
37:56anyways. Sonic's not a complete idiot. They just don't do enough to explain why they couldn't just
38:02have funny punch the door down. Why'd it end with the heroes not dragging Eggman to jail?
38:09Sonic's stronger than he looks. He carried Eggman to the hospital in the first book by this writer.
38:16Sonic forces dealt with this better by having Eggman get away. No one knows how, which is not good
38:23writing either. But it makes Eggman look competent beyond comprehension, instead of just making the
38:28heroes look like wimps. And is Sonic's case an idiot, because he still says he wants to get rid of
38:34Eggman. When he had no reason to think he couldn't have done it with the amount of assistance he had.
