AmusantTranscription
00:00Issue 77. Sonic decides to investigate the first place the hero saw Clutch in. Even though he saw Clutch get taken away by Eggman. And there's not much reason to believe he would have escaped.
00:13And for no reason, Vector thinks the White Park Castle doesn't look inviting. I don't know why it's called the French word for castle when it looks nothing like one.
00:24Why is Vector smiling when doubting Sonic? He's not allowed to have a proper argument about why he doesn't agree because Charmy starts talking.
00:33I assume he meant it was unlikely that Clutch would return to a predictable place.
00:38Charmy's trying to be smart by saying they should go to an amusement park instead. It's smart because it'd be fun, and Clutch really shouldn't be here anyways.
00:48You'd think the cops would have been checking here. Our time's wasted after that.
00:54What does Vector say their client is their pride instead of Sonic?
00:59Sonic's their client.
01:01And Vector starts uncharacteristically making sarcastic jokes and laughing at them. Teasing Sonic by calling him a valet.
01:09Vector never did that in the games. Not twice in a row, for sure.
01:14It was okay at first, but it gets annoying by the second time.
01:18This would feel in character for Charmy because he's the most cheerful one.
01:22But Vector's more serious than that.
01:25I only remember him being cheerful when he was actively trying to encourage his teammates.
01:31And Sonic didn't do anything in the story to provoke this.
01:35Not like a mind.
01:37After some time wasted with Sonic stating the obvious until he starts baseless speculation.
01:42And it's lampshaded that Sonic's doing the detective work for Vector instead of the writing being good.
01:49They notice something in the window that would logically still look like this from the front the next time they'd see it.
01:55Despite the glowing red eye, Vector somehow says it could be Clutch, and they run into the building.
02:02I can't wait to find out why there was a glowing red eye.
02:06Somehow, Vector thinks Sonic couldn't catch any details going that fast.
02:11If Sonic couldn't interpret the world just as good when going fast, he'd be constantly running into stuff every time he used it, and might not have lived this long.
02:21How is Vector too stupid to have assumed that his brain can work as fast as he moves to compensate?
02:27Sonic says the only place he didn't check was the kitchen, because they're gonna like getting snacks from it.
02:33And they get lamely greeted by Rupp and Tombo, the cringe-worthy losers.
02:38The Sonic series deserves more respect than to have these dorks in it after all of the cool things that happened in it.
02:45This is gonna be a dogshit story, because it makes no sense that Sonic doesn't instantly start attacking them and not stop until they give up.
02:52Like he fights in the games.
02:56HBO tells them their meter is awful since apparently he knows about poetry.
03:01I never saw any evidence of that in the games.
03:04But it's not impossible that he could have researched it.
03:07And there's technically nothing bad about this.
03:10Sonic still thinks they're good guys at this point because he's too stupid to be cool in this comic.
03:16Ruff rings a little bell and then activates the egg pawn, and Sonic assumes they're still reprogrammed to run the games because he's an idiot.
03:24Obviously Ruff wouldn't have rung the bell if he couldn't make the robots try to attack Sonic.
03:30Well it's nice to see a new idea. Since when do egg pawns get activated by a bell and not just by being told to fight?
03:40Like they would have to actively reprogram them to spawn to the bell. And why would they go through that effort?
03:47Since Ruff and Tumble aren't programmers, how did these egg pawns know to start attacking them?
03:54I didn't think Clutch knew how to reprogram either.
03:57Did someone pay someone a lot of money so they could be reprogrammed to try to attack people at the sound of a bell?
04:02How did these robots know to not attack Ruff and Tumble or Clutch too?
04:07Wave would have done this for them, but how would they know how to contact her?
04:11The point is, this wouldn't be so confusing if it just kept it simple and had Ruff and Tumble have robots under their control because they joined Eggman.
04:20If it'd be the same plot either way, then it's not a creative plot just because Eggman isn't in the story.
04:27It's still just as stale as the billion other times Sonic Underground had people who don't normally do so send robots after the heroes.
04:36I liked seeing IDW's Sonic flinch at almost having something hard thrown at him.
04:41But I hate that his eyes popping out.
04:44While uncharacteristically no one else is fighting,
04:48HBO states the obvious so he can make a pawn like a generic action movie hero which is lame.
04:53Since when does HBO ever talk like this?
04:57It'd make more sense for Sonic to have these lines.
05:00What's the point of having a Sonic fan write this comic when it still comes off like it's written by someone who doesn't know the series?
05:08And worse, because now it looks intentional.
05:11HBO throws sharp weapons at the egg pawns.
05:14And Sonic calls out HBO in having a problem with Vector joking.
05:18As if he's got a high ground from which to lecture people on hypocrisy.
05:22And HBO changes the subject that his skills are no joke.
05:27Vector starts fighting an egg pawn in a way he never did before.
05:30Or at least in an interesting way.
05:32By ripping something off it.
05:34And Charmy is mocked by the writer because he'd rather stare at a game when his friends are in danger.
05:40This is character breaking humor.
05:43To be fair he's never been seen around games in a fighting situation in the games.
05:47But I don't remember him being easily distracted in them.
05:51Vector calls him out and Charmy correctly points out that they're just egg pawns they beat up all the time.
05:57And he uncharacteristically refuses to help his friends because he wasn't told he could have fun later.
06:03I don't remember him being spiteful or evil in the games.
06:08Eventually Vector destroys the robots by smacking one into another which is something he's never done before.
06:14And I also like that he bit a robot part off.
06:17Why does he talk with his mouth full of robot parts?
06:20So now the story stops making sense for good because the heroes don't interrupt rough and tumble on their boring dialogue.
06:28There's no way Sonic wouldn't be attacking at this point.
06:31He'd start constantly doing the homie attack on one of them.
06:34I think the reason he's not fighting is he still thinks he can talk the bad guys into being good if he's not rough with them.
06:40It's rough and tumble.
06:42Either way this isn't who Sonic is supposed to be because it's not cool.
06:46And SPO's out of character by wasting time complimenting them so he's toppled over by someone he knew he was going to attack like a moron.
06:54I finally get to see a new character trait of rough because he doesn't like the idea that he messes up his new clothes.
07:02Tumble ends up tied up by his own clothes by Vector.
07:06So that's new.
07:08And he's just like rough in the clothes vanity sense too.
07:12So much for rough having a separate trait from him.
07:15They get lectured by Vector.
07:18Why is Clutch free from Eggman?
07:21The last time he was with Clutch he tried to blow him up.
07:25Eggman doesn't just ship gears like that.
07:28He could make a robot that looks just like Clutch to replace him and do what he could have done for him.
07:34So Clutch is only remotely tolerable now if I think of him as a robot imposter.
07:39It's nice of Charmy to congratulate them.
07:42But why is Vector telling Charmy to put something back that he picked up from a place that hasn't been frequented by people in a long time and isn't visited by anyone but criminals who don't have the right to it anyways?
07:56I don't know why it hasn't been frequented in a long time though.
08:00He's neutral enough to be fine with freeing Eggman from where he's trapped just because he'd get paid in Heroes.
08:06Even though freeing Eggman made him responsible for everything he did afterwards.
08:11He's not about morality in the wider sense so he'd let him bring it home with him.
08:15Flynn just makes him say this because he was a playable character in Heroes like the other heroes were.
08:21And he was just a hero in Archie.
08:23So obviously he's a good person.
08:26His goodness extends to raising Charmy and enjoying being a detective.
08:30He'd let Charmy take something home with him to make him happy.
08:34Sonic tells the bad guys to either confess or fight and is relatively impatient with them.
08:39So if he's only not fighting them because he thinks they could be reasoned with,
08:43well this contradicts that.
08:45There's no reason he wouldn't be fighting them now then.
08:48For no reason, Clutch idiotically gives away his hiding position.
08:52Sonic would start attacking him relentlessly at this point until he'd be knocked out and then he'd drag him to jail.
08:57I say this because he attacks the Eggmobiles like that and in character battles.
09:02Instead he lets him have some boring dialogue where he somehow thinks he could survive in a fight with a bunch of people with special powers.
09:10The most generous I could beat to him is to say that he has the special power of being able to dodge at Sonic speed in issue 75.
09:17So no reason he could punch them after doing the dodging.
09:21He also damaged the controls of an airship with his cane.
09:24But it's never pointed out as intentional by the narrative instead of just bad writing.
09:29So I don't know.
09:31Either way, he's still outnumbered so this is stupid.
09:34Aspio can turn invisible so he'd be beaten up from behind.
09:38He tells them to follow him.
09:41I thought he'd just fight them right here.
09:43Why would he want to fight them somewhere else?
09:46And somehow the idiots follow him when they could just be following him to a place where he could fight them better.
09:52Instead of just rushing ahead to beat him up to drag him to jail when the Chaotix are detected.
09:58So it's literally their job to do that.
10:01So you can't have a bullshit argument that it's not Sonic's job to make sure bad guys get locked up.
10:07Even though it's his moral responsibility.
10:10After padding, instead of Clutch immediately just going to an armchair to talk to them.
10:15That could have been the same room as the one they immediately went into as soon as they entered the building.
10:20Eventually, when Clutch somehow thinks the Restoration HQ wasn't doing anything valuable for the world.
10:26Sonic decides not to argue with him despite disagreeing.
10:29Which is surprisingly mature of him.
10:31It's out of character for IDW, Sonic.
10:34But that's a good thing here for avoiding padding.
10:37He still called him out on it by saying it's debatable.
10:40He asks what happened between him and Eggman.
10:43And Clutch says he laid low until Eggman became distracted and then escaped.
10:48There's a lot of things they should be questioning right now.
10:51But they're too stupid to do so.
10:53Why would Eggman let go of Clutch with his machine?
10:56Which is what would have to happen for him to be able to lay low.
10:59What could have possibly distracted him long enough for him to get away?
11:03Sonic and Surge weren't doing anything of note.
11:06And wouldn't Eggman's machine be fast enough to instantly catch up to him after the seconds he'd be distracted?
11:12Because he makes him able to keep up with Sonic?
11:14The story tries to have the audience laugh at this by making Charmy say that's what he'd do.
11:20To prevent people from being bothered by it.
11:23Then Clutch says the heroes want something more dramatic than that.
11:27Yes.
11:28Even if you were to insist on having Clutch survive despite almost nobody even talking about him positively.
11:34Yeah, stop using fan favorite Starline but the straight guy doesn't get killed from his fight with Eggman.
11:41Link could have had Clutch grab a ray gun off a shelf he was brought near and shoot it to get free.
11:47Clutch continues wasting my time whining with recapping.
11:51And there's no way the heroes would put up with this instead of beating him up like they did to Eggman and heroes no problem.
11:57Vector even lampshades that it wasn't smart of him to run back to the first place they'd look.
12:02Why even waste our time with the dialogue after this?
12:06Vector had no reason to think Ruff and Tomble were just pretending to be Clutch's bosses.
12:11Since it's not true, why doesn't Clutch kill them in their sleep if he doesn't want them here when he's evil anyway and no one knows they're here?
12:19How can Clutch be working for people who can't afford to pay him?
12:23That's slavery not employment.
12:25After more padding.
12:27If Vector thinks he's going for a weapon, he wouldn't just say look out.
12:31He'd punch him.
12:32More blatantly wasting my time.
12:35As Vio says it doesn't explain how Clean Sweep's still operating.
12:39And it gets told that he deals in robots and they're automated.
12:43But that doesn't explain things when Clean Sweep was run by somebody and nobody's replacing him.
12:48So why didn't they just have a thought bubble saying that?
12:52The way they were talking I thought they meant it was in every way possible still operating.
12:57But thankfully most of Clutch's living staff abandoned him when he was exposed.
13:01Even though they'd still need a paycheck and getting a new job is hard.
13:06And people working for bad people is a normal thing.
13:09So this wouldn't happen.
13:11They'd have thought bubbles thinking all this.
13:14Sonic's sentence was worthless.
13:17Why are the heroes believing a word he says?
13:20Why even bother interrogating a known liar?
13:23Vector finally lampshades that they shouldn't believe him.
13:27Yeah they really shouldn't because nothing he's saying makes any sense.
13:31But there's a lot of dialogue that doesn't make any sense in this comic.
13:34And we're always supposed to just take it at face value.
13:37So I'm not necessarily going to take it as proof of anything.
13:41And Charmy just imitates what he said in Heroes as brownie points with the fans.
13:45Which is stupid since it really should just remind them that Vector isn't lawful good since that cutscene debunked it.
13:52Everything Clutch is saying is boring me.
13:55Charmy's made stupid again.
13:58Throwing empathy at someone who doesn't deserve it.
14:01At this point it'd be more in character for IDW's version of Sonic.
14:05Eventually Clutch gives them a piece of paper to tell them to go look at the clean sweep facility to see that he's not lying and burnt to the ground for all he cares.
14:14Eventually the heroes somehow decide to leave the building with a known fugitive in it when I thought the whole point of coming here was to bring him to jail.
14:23So then why did they even come here?
14:26They should have known if he did have an evil plan he wouldn't tell them about it.
14:30So it shouldn't have been for just an interrogation.
14:33So this means if they found Starline just reading in a building they'd leave him there?
14:39Aspio wanted to arrest Eggman so he'd stand trial for his crimes.
14:46There's only one way this could make sense.
14:49Did Aspio find some other fugitive before this point that he determined was harmless so it changed his mind?
14:56I guess they're all so arrogant they just take it as a given that of course Aspio would agree with them.
15:02And eventually Aspio's asking what Rough and Tomble do here and the answer implies that they aren't running a business and just do nothing but eat.
15:11Clutch supplies them with whatever they want.
15:14How does a wanted man do that?
15:17Why would one of the Chaotics ask to work for Rough and Tomble because he likes that they do nothing?
15:23This means he doesn't actually like the Chaotics since he wouldn't miss them.
15:27Maybe he only thinks he wouldn't.
15:30Eventually I remembered him saying a whole day wasted triumphantly in Shadow the Hedgehog.
15:35So he is lazy enough to say this.
15:38It took me a while to remember that because every single time we see him aside from Generations where everyone's just standing there.
15:46He's always with the Chaotics trying to work for them.
15:50Or he's with Shadow but still trying to help him.
15:54So I don't remember him as lazy because we never see him lazing about.
15:58I think his logic is he thinks if he was working with them he'd still be able to go visit the Chaotics whenever he wants anyways.
16:06And they wouldn't find these guys too annoying if he was with them long enough.
16:10I mean he's considered annoying.
16:12And so are they.
16:14So that's supposed to be a logic for why you'd not find them annoying.
16:18But Charming's seen as annoying because he's cheerful and energetic.
16:20Even though Sonic is too.
16:22So it's really just because he's a kid.
16:24And his voice too.
16:26They go back to the car with Sonic somehow thinking that a fugitive who hasn't been arrested yet and isn't going to get the cough sicked on him.
16:34Has completely gotten what's coming to him.
16:38To be fair all the villains in the game said he's killed or trapped in a lamp.
16:42None of them were as unthreatening as Clutch.
16:45All of them were such a big threat that they forced his hand.
16:49Clutch was only a big threat one time because he happened to be in a place where he could be a big threat.
16:56For all we know, Game Sonic would leave him be too.
16:59But it's so weird of these people to do that when they don't think he's going to stop being a problem after this.
17:05If they did and were right, I'd agree with them that putting him in prison would just be unnecessary cruelty for cruelty's sake.
17:12But the writer wouldn't spare Clutch without planning on making him cause trouble again.
17:16Because it'd be too subversive to have him not do anything evil anymore.
17:21It would require too much thought to try to figure out what to do with a villain other than making him do the same things he's done before.
17:30After some padding where at least Sonic had a good in character line that heading into a base sounds like fun.
17:36Clutch puts his hand on something and nothing happens in an incomprehensible panel.
17:41Clutch slides down a pole and Ruff and Tumble can't find him.
17:45What's the point of writing this and getting people frustrated with the heroes for not preventing this?
17:50What took Ruff and Tumble so long to try to approach Clutch to learn stuff about him?
17:55Why would they even care about getting to know him?
17:58They're selfish and they don't like him.
18:00Clutch contacts Eggman to recap him and warn him that Sonic's coming to a place.
18:06Which immediately reminds me of when Ixis did this.
18:09Eggman uncharacteristically compliments him.
18:13Eventually wonders what else he told them and for no reason Clutch doesn't tell him what he said.
18:18There's incomprehensible art in front of Clutch himself to do all the heavy lifting and trying to make Eggman look intimidating when he's not being that way verbally.
18:27This is like John Grey art right here.
18:30This was done a lot better in that Cry of the Wolf Sadie M episode adaptation with sniveling Clutch's place.
18:38Eventually Clutch says he lied to the heroes so they don't know Clutch's become a front for the Eggman Empire for Eggman to profit off his own waste.
18:47I was surprised to learn that he didn't collect the remains of robots when Clutch was brought up for the first time.
18:54Because it would be common sense of him to do that to make robot making faster and free.
18:59The mere existence of Clean Sweep belittled his intelligence at worst.
19:03And at best showed an utter lack of imagination by the writer.
19:07Like he didn't care enough about Eggman to think of him.
19:10If it was established that Eggman was using a robot that only looks like a person to do what Clutch would do.
19:16That would just make him look smart and take advantage of his identity as an engineer.
19:21And Clutch too would be doing the same things Clutch would do.
19:25He'd potentially be even cooler because he'd be doing cool stuff that only a robot could do.
19:30And IDW fans would be happy no matter what so they wouldn't mind.
19:34Eventually the story ends there with Clutch predictably being mad about working for Eggman.
19:40But who knows why?
19:42Because he's evil too.
19:44So he's not opposed to him because Eggman's evil.
19:47And Eggman's not making him do anything you wouldn't have otherwise wanted to do.
19:52I doubt he has a completely different world view than Eggman.
19:55Because he's not compassionate either and he was rich.
19:59This frustrating issue by Ian Flynn was about the so-called heroes Sonic and the Chaotix finding some fugitives they don't trust to not be evil anymore.
20:08And just leaving without them for no reason.
20:12They don't even deserve to be called heroes at times like this.
20:16And most of the story was just worthless boring dialogue when it wasn't frustrating me with getting Vector and Charmy wrong.
20:23The guy who freed Eggman from a vault for a bribe wouldn't care if Charmy's stealing from criminals.
20:29And why is he being all joking?
20:31And making Charmy value playing a game over protecting his friends is still just insulting for nothing.
20:38Even though there is room for interpretation there.
20:41It's just character breaking humor.
20:44It's no different than if Vector prioritized picking up money over saving Charmy.
20:49It reveals Clutch is working for Eggman now.
20:52So he's just another reboot style Egg boss.
20:55When Eggman had no reason to keep Clutch alive.
20:59Which just uses Clutch as just another excuse to not use Eggman himself as a character.
21:04Which isn't refreshing if he's still doing what he'd want.
21:08This was just done because Clutch didn't do this before.
21:12Do it without that wise.
21:13Do it without that wise.
21:14I get it from scratch.
21:15So, we will make sure people can do better on your computer.
