00:00Issue 81. It starts with someone welcoming people to a circus, and he talks too much getting you bored right away.
00:09While it's nice to do world building by showing a new location, and there's never been a city of circuses in Sonic before,
00:17why not start the story showing characters we already know instead of making sure we're detached right away?
00:24I see people wearing masks over their eyes in either dresses or suits when I already saw this in Sonic Underground.
00:32At least it's unique that this is the case during a circus.
00:37The announcer advertises a Chaos Emerald for people to look at for one night only.
00:43He's such an idiot for thinking that Eggman won't find out about this and go steal it, damaging the building with his Eggmobile in the process.
00:51You'd think anyone who found an Emerald would immediately try to get to Sonic's house.
00:56He could take a photo of it and show people the photo.
01:01Couldn't he even make a glass reproduction of it?
01:06Someone asks how long this is gonna take, and it's Sonic.
01:11Everyone already saw the Emerald, so why doesn't Sonic just take it right now?
01:16Everyone would be okay with that because they know who he is.
01:19They'd assume he wanted to keep it from Eggman and go super later to fight him.
01:24You'd think the government would have either established that the Emeralds belong to Sonic, or themselves.
01:30What would something that can power machines and be used to warp and freeze time be something that anybody's allowed to say he owns when he finds it because finders keepers?
01:40This is just like when Breezy offered an Emerald as a prize all over again.
01:46And it's not like this is the first Sonic story to take place in a circus either.
01:51Tails complains while also saying stuff that Sonic would already know, so why's he saying it?
01:57He says six of the Emeralds have gone missing.
02:00I didn't know that he was aware of where six of the Emeralds were.
02:04If he was, why weren't they all in the possession of Sonic's group of friends before they went missing?
02:10This feels so rushed that six of the Emeralds disappeared.
02:15I don't know why it was really hard to get invites to a circus.
02:20I thought anybody could go to them.
02:23And this is Tails talking.
02:25Want he and Sonic get invited automatically because they're the heroes of the world and they could be there to protect the Emerald if Eggman wants to steal it?
02:32Then it'd be justified that this guy risked Eggman finding out where it is.
02:37The story didn't have any thought put behind it because this so easily could have made sense.
02:42They're insulted for no reason that anyone would be let into this place.
02:47And it's Rouge who said it.
02:49I like that she's wearing a new outfit.
02:52For no reason, Sonic doesn't call her out on this when he's supposed to have an attitude and be confident.
02:59Why did she say this after Tails just said that it was hard to get invited here when she knows they're the main people who ruin Eggman's plans?
03:08So why would them being in here mean that they'd let anyone in here?
03:13Wouldn't she also know that invites are hard to get?
03:16Just because she's a jewel thief doesn't mean it makes sense to make her evil in general for no reason.
03:23Rouge tended to tease people from the start, but it was always for a believable reason.
03:29She has nothing against these two.
03:32Why is Rouge telling Tails her emerald was stolen?
03:36Shouldn't she just assume Sonic already told him that because Sonic's his friend?
03:40The story's so boring.
03:42Nothing but dialogue and some of it just recaps.
03:46I don't need to be told what the motivation of Sonic game characters are in a place with a Chaos Emerald in it.
03:53Sonic taunts Shadow that he can't use Chaos Control without an Emerald and Shadow doesn't correct him.
04:00Why did the writer bring that back?
04:03Why does the comic keep flip-flopping on this?
04:06This would be fine if Sonic said you can't freeze time without an Emerald.
04:12But most people think of warping as well when he says that.
04:18First he warped without an Emerald in his hands.
04:20And then he said he can't warp without one.
04:23And then last issue he warped without an Emerald again.
04:26And now we've got this.
04:28I wish I would stop portraying the ultimate lifeformers full of Chaos powers as if he's not powerful enough to warp without an Emerald.
04:36Which is especially stupid since the Bio-Lizard can do that.
04:40Why would the prototype of M be more powerful than him?
04:43Like Shadow literally said in response to it warping away, is that what Chaos Control is?
04:50So yeah, you'd have to have completely forgotten important parts of SE2 to think Chaos Control isn't warping.
04:58Shadow only thinks the Emerald would be better off in his care out of arrogance.
05:04Anyone who tried to find an Emerald would search Sonic's house first.
05:08But then he'd go on to try to find it in the homes of everyone else he's allied with.
05:13And as depressing as it is to say, Sonic and his friends are celebrities.
05:17They would have gotten dust.
05:19People wouldn't know where most of them live.
05:21It happens to big YouTubers.
05:24And Sonic teases them again.
05:26I know why I'm supposed to think Shadow deserves it.
05:29But he's still annoying so I feel bad for Shadow.
05:32Who's not teasing him.
05:35I wish the announcer wouldn't talk so much.
05:38It's so boring.
05:39It takes a needless amount of time to start showing the circus performance because we need build up to make it feel more epic.
05:46But why would I care about this?
05:49What does this have to do with the plot?
05:51It took too long of nothing but boredom to get to this point.
05:57Then the room fills with smoke.
05:59And the person who did it looks like an idiot by talking while standing still after he takes the Emerald so that everyone knows what his voice sounds like and he's taking longer to get away.
06:09So the guards also look silly by not running in the direction of where the voice is coming from and all tackling him.
06:18It's such a stereotypical way to introduce a new villain in a kids series.
06:23Just having him make an arrogant monologue even though it's stupid in context.
06:28Why did he wait for the smoke to go away making it so that there was a risk of him getting grabbed?
06:34So he's just a thrill seeker?
06:36Sonic already has that trait.
06:39He also flies away.
06:41There's already been Sonic characters who can fly.
06:44Aspio has smoke bombs.
06:46Nothing about this guy is original.
06:49So the only thing to be impressed about is the fact that the comic bothered to make a new villain after taking a long time to do so.
06:56Which is just faint praise.
06:58And it's just too silly for me to not find him annoying.
07:02Like he's only made this way because it's aimed at kids when the series had way darker stories than this.
07:08Sonic expects me to believe that the fact that it's crowded in here magically justifies him not running after a thief.
07:16Even though he has to be able to stop fast too without injury.
07:20Or you'd notice him sliding ahead annoyingly far every time you try to stop with him in a way that makes sense with how fast he was going.
07:28This was just an excuse for Rouge and Shadow to go after the thief instead.
07:32It should have been written that Sonic was surrounded by people so that he'd have to push through the crowd slowly first because if he just ran after him he'd push someone down.
07:42Why doesn't Tails start flying after the thief at the same time that Rouge does?
07:47Why are Sonic and Tails being made to look like amateurs who just do nothing out of panic so that Rouge and Shadow could look better?
07:57And the writer as Rouge calls Sonic slow to add insult to injury.
08:01If Sonic really cared about the thief being stopped he would have took off right away.
08:07Not waited to finish responding to Rouge first.
08:10I'd complain more but this is IDW Sonic.
08:15It's in character for him.
08:17At least Sonic manages to get to the thief first.
08:20Except that's impossible.
08:22Because Shadow got a head start.
08:25He's just as fast as Sonic and it wasn't established that Sonic took a shortcut because he knew the surroundings the best.
08:32And the writer really does just think both teleportation and time travel are magically now not something you could do without an emerald.
08:40Because otherwise he would have at least teleported to stop the thief by now.
08:44And now I know there's a problem with the fact that Shadow Generations revealed that Shadow knows about the fake emerald Tails made.
08:52Since Sonic can work with a fake emerald and Tails can just make a fake emerald no big deal.
08:57Why wouldn't Shadow be able to do that?
09:00So why didn't Shadow insist on Tails making another fake emerald so he could always chaos control?
09:09Shadow jumps onto the hot air balloon he was on and damages it causing everyone on it to fall.
09:14Separating Sonic from the thief who he logically would have still been holding onto.
09:19So there's no way the thief would have gone separate from them and Sonic should have focused on finding and grabbing him again first before wasting time whining at someone he knows he's done his own thing instead of go with a plan before.
09:32Because he wants him to go with his plan.
09:34As if he had any reason to think he could convince him.
09:37What an idiot.
09:38The thief has no interesting personality traits.
09:41He's just a stereotypical cartoon villain.
09:44So he hasn't earned the right to be called by his name.
09:46Nobody's going to be confused and wondering which thief I'm talking about.
09:51And what does he have to do with the moon?
09:53I'm giving the benefit of the doubt in assuming that what he has to do with the moon is going to be elaborated on later.
10:00If not it's just going to be a trying too hard to be cool and grab attention DeviantArt name.
10:06He flies away and suddenly it's revealed that Rouge can fly faster than Tails.
10:11Someone who flew as fast as Sonic in the classic games.
10:15Somehow I doubt this is accurate.
10:18I feel like this is just over glorifying her at the expense of characters who deserve more respect again.
10:25She throws bombs which risks her hurting or killing Sonic and Tails.
10:30Since when would she ever do that?
10:33She'd have to know that even if she got a hold of the Emerald, Sonic would take it eventually anyways to turn super.
10:40And then they would go missing.
10:43So why does she think there's a point in her getting the Emerald herself?
10:47She can just look up the Emerald on Google images to look at it whenever she wants.
10:52Why does she think that simply asking them to let her keep the Emerald until they need to borrow it to go super would result in a no?
10:59She could just take a random jewel like I would assume she always does regularly.
11:06Instead of trying to find a Chaos Emerald to keep it for herself.
11:10If you're going to make an evil Rouge, go all the way with it like Sonic the Comic Online did.
11:15They did something creative with Rouge.
11:18That was clearly not the same person as normal Rouge.
11:22This person has the same position as her.
11:26Tails drops Sonic and he gets competitive with Shadow over who gets the Emerald.
11:31I get why they think they should have it instead because Tails wants to get an Emerald to replace him when he lost so he could power technology of his.
11:39Tails takes a bag to catch the bombs and throws them towards Rouge.
11:44And I have to assume the reason he risked hurting or killing her is he either assumes with no evidence that she has rings or doesn't care about her anymore because she did that to him.
11:55Well this escalated quickly.
11:57No build up at all to the reveal that she'd throw bombs at Sonic and Tails to try to steal something.
12:03And now Tails is no excuse for not trying to kill Eggman from now on.
12:08Because he's fine with trying to kill Rouge.
12:11How did he know that she was guaranteed to not get killed by it or hurt?
12:18The shockwave of the explosion sends her crashing into something and she gets food on her head that's not the color of popcorn so that you'd only be able to guess that's that from the color of the popcorn and the fact that there's shapes like it.
12:32While satisfying because she deserves it, and at least the stuff that's been happening with Rouge lately has never happened before.
12:40I just think it's out of character for Tails to either assume someone's invincible or remorselessly try to kill her.
12:45With a smile.
12:47What if Sonic stop in front of the thief instead of tackling him and starting to hit him repeatedly until he's knocked out so that he can get the emerald out of him?
12:56Since when is any version of Sonic curious enough that he would stop in front of his enemy and try to ask him to volunteer information to further incriminate himself for no reason?
13:05Why would the thief ever tell him if he took the other emeralds?
13:09That just justified trying to hit him into telling him where he lives.
13:13He responds that if he told him his epic backstory they'd lose some mystery and intrigue and somehow insist that there's no fun in learning a character's backstory all of a sudden.
13:24And then the character who got a huge chunk of his popularity out of having a backstory tells him in a meta sort of way that he doesn't care about his past.
13:34This just feels like the writer rubbing salt in the wound about the fact that neither writer cares enough to explain what Serge and Kit's lives used to be like because they're lazy.
13:43And trying to justify being too lazy to write backstories for characters.
13:48So many characters have a backstory and fans appreciate that about them because it meant they got more attached to them.
13:55And the writers put in effort they didn't have to.
13:58Like with Batman and Spider-Man and Superman.
14:01If the creators of those characters had this attitude they wouldn't have given us the famous backstories for them.
14:07Where's the fun in a character having mystery to begin with?
14:12When mystery is just a lack of effort and passion from the writer.
14:17And letting fans have all sorts of fan theories about what their backstory is so that they can argue with each other.
14:23And there's more anger and bitterness than any sort of fun that would be had through coming up with a backstory.
14:29How arrogant of this writer to think there was any intrigue in this generic stereotypical thief who the only interesting thing about him is his lame weird design that doesn't fit in the Sonic series.
14:40I can easily assume his backstory for myself.
14:44Maybe he grew up really poor so he felt justified in becoming a thief.
14:47That's how lazy the writer is.
14:49It took a second to think up the backstory but she doesn't care enough about her own character to do so.
14:54So Shadow says he doesn't care about his backstory.
14:57I didn't know Shadow watched reviews on the internet.
15:00Which would cause him to even know what the word backstory meant.
15:03I mean it's not possible.
15:05It's just this exchange is Pontac and Graf meta-like.
15:10Why would this not be torn apart?
15:12The exchange between these two only draws attention to the lack of a backstory of the character.
15:18Why does Sonic say none of this is adding up?
15:21What's a bit confused about why someone would want to take an emerald?
15:25When nobody questions why Rouge wants to take an emerald.
15:29It's so easy to assume he wants to sell it.
15:32It turns out Sonic figured out from the thief's voice that he's a kid all of a sudden.
15:37Why does Shadow think Sonic wants him to back down?
15:41Why does he say quarry?
15:43And for no reason he goes to slap Sonic instead of the thief.
15:48This is no better than when Penders had him fight Sonic and be antagonistic to him for a few issues for no reason.
15:55If the story's gonna have Shadow fight Sonic instead of simply have him get told what Tails was doing with the last emerald he had.
16:02And agree to let him keep it.
16:04Which they would have at least tried.
16:06Why can't the story at least show the impact when Sonic kicks away Shadow's hand.
16:12Instead of making the entire fight worthless because there's no impact to enjoy.
16:18Who cares about any of this?
16:21At least this time they have an actual fight in one place.
16:25Sonic says he got what he wanted because the thief got away.
16:29Why would he want the thief to get away with the emerald?
16:32Shadow storms off with Rouge instead of running off at the speed of sound to circle around the area to try to find the thief as fast as possible.
16:40And Sonic doesn't do that and instead gives the thief more time to get away by talking to Tails.
16:46And it's such a relief when I'm told that the reason he let him get away was that Tails hadn't planned a tracking device on the thief that's arbitrarily more accurate than the emerald radar.
16:56So this way they could follow him to where he might have stored all of the other emeralds.
17:01This is more smart than I thought.
17:03After all he might be too stubborn to tell Sonic where he stored them before being knocked out and potentially killed.
17:09Tails and Sonic get to the dark building the emerald was brought to.
17:14And Tails somehow says he wants to find out why the thief took the emerald.
17:18I'm confused about why he's saying they when only one person took the emerald.
17:23And he has no reason to think he's working with someone else.
17:27So apparently this means that the voice the thief was talking with was generated so that he couldn't tell if he was a guy or a girl.
17:35Even though a robotic sounding voice would still sound masculine anyways.
17:39And a normal person would assume that someone he doesn't know the gender of is a guy.
17:43Because most media is written from a male perspective so most main characters are guys.
17:48Which causes everyone to see male as the default.
17:50And most thieves are guys.
17:52So there's even more reason to assume.
17:54But this makes it look like Tails actually got used to saying they in a singular way all of a sudden.
18:00As if to imply that he's talked about non-binary people a lot before.
18:05Probably because of interacting with people on the internet.
18:07It's good to do more elaboration on a character's personality.
18:10It's just confusing because all we saw of what he did in his free time is that he works on making technology all day.
18:17And we all assumed he already thought he knew everything he needed to know about engineering.
18:21Since he made a fake emerald a while ago.
18:24And we'd assume that he'd only go on the internet the rest of his free time.
18:28Researching new things about engineering.
18:31Since when has it been implied that he would have talked to strangers online for no reason.
18:35Or watched TV shows or YouTube that would tell him that talking this way was a thing.
18:41He probably learned about it by watching TV or YouTube while eating.
18:45Because that's what most people do while eating.
18:48It does feel like it makes sense that an academic minded kid who used to be treated badly for being different.
18:54Would be inclined to root for anyone else who's the underdog because of being different.
18:59And because of that get used to saying they as the third gender singular pronoun.
19:04And he's got a reputation as a hero so there's extra pressure on him to talk and act compassionately.
19:09So he makes the most sense to talk this way.
19:12This is just really out of nowhere because he had no reason to think of the thief as anything but a boy.
19:19He never identified as non-binary.
19:21But all of a sudden Tails is talking as if he's assuming he is.
19:24Which would most likely be misgendering him.
19:27So he'd be annoyed if he heard this.
19:29And it's confusing because Tails never talked like this before.
19:33Anyway, Sonic spin dashes straight ahead and somehow bounces directly upwards really high by doing that.
19:42Since when can he do that?
19:45Well he already has supernatural abilities so one more makes just as much sense.
19:51The comics already had so many continuity errors with the games that this makes just as much sense as the rest of them.
19:57And I've thought of it as a separate universe from it the whole time.
20:00Why think of it any other way at this point?
20:02So it makes sense that he would have a different ability.
20:05And while the comic did act like the games happened in its past.
20:09It's not as if the stories of any of the games would have gone differently if Sonic could do this.
20:13And for all we know he only recently learned to do this off screen.
20:17So that's why he only did this now.
20:19It's impressive.
20:20He is supposed to be cool.
20:21But it'd be a lot cooler to simply have him wall jump like he did in the game.
20:25So I wouldn't be confused.
20:28Again he's an idiot by stopping to talk to the thief instead of immediately starting to attack him to get the emeralds back.
20:35Surprisingly the thief tells him to just take the emerald and insists that he doesn't want it.
20:40And then insults his mask and takes it off and says that he doesn't want any trouble.
20:45And doesn't even know how he got the emerald.
20:48And talks like he isn't sure if it's an emerald or not.
20:51After the way he acted before, they should assume he's only trying to lure them into a false sense of security to keep himself from getting punched.
20:59They do wonder if it's a trap.
21:01And Sonic confusingly says here goes nothing as if it's such a big deal to grab an emerald away from someone who's letting him do that.
21:08If he's cautious about this, then why doesn't he grab it away as soon as possible and run?
21:14So what's probably going on is that the mask is magical.
21:18It doesn't show Sonic grabbed the emerald before the story cuts away to Eggman's point of view.
21:23He confusingly says only a few more hours now.
21:27Why?
21:28He's made Eggmobiles that are as fast as Sonic when he's boosting.
21:34Why would he be hours away from it instead of right behind Sonic?
21:38What the hell could he have been doing for all those hours until now?
21:42I just wish I knew.
21:44He heads for the circus.
21:46So he was late in finding out where the emerald was.
21:48Even though its location would have been advertised in advance and he doesn't have an emerald radar like he did in Adventure 2.
21:55Would have had him be right behind Sonic by now.
21:58How is he this incompetent?
22:00He's got so many robots all over the world and he could have had robots in charge of searching the internet to tell him where any emeralds were.
22:07Like he would have bots all over the internet to give him whatever info he needs.
22:12So come to think of it why didn't he find the emerald before the circus ringleader did then?
22:17At first I assumed the ringleader was going to be a bad guy.
22:21And that would have been more creative cause I can't remember that ever happening before.
22:26I hate that the story ends there.
22:29So am I supposed to believe the mask was ripping off Majora's mask a little by possessing whoever wears it into doing something evil?
22:35At least it doesn't feel like something Sonic did before.
22:39Practically every idea is something that a different franchise did before so that's why I don't demonize ideas for ripping off other franchises.
22:49Though it is shameful to rip off a Nintendo franchise in what's supposed to rebel against Nintendo.
22:55It'd be lame if this was all just a trick of the thief because that's more predictable.
23:01I assumed that the heroes would get the emeralds back home by the end of the story.
23:05If the mask can take over a person's brain, why on earth would it still be possible for the person to take it off?
23:12Why would the mask make the person take it off if it's the mask doing it when that just relinquishes its control of them?
23:19At least it's an intriguing mystery.
23:21But I'd rather not if stories end on an intriguing mystery when they end in cliffhangers that take a month to resolve.
23:29When I first saw the moon blown in half on this panel I was like, wow they actually referenced that.
23:36It's faint praise though because this should be standard, it's only exciting because the games don't do this for some reason.
23:44It's the bare minimum, why isn't anything else about the story great?
23:48This boring issue by Evan Stanley was about someone who acts like a generic cartoon villain getting away with stealing an emerald from a circus.
23:56Shadow and Rouge making Sonic and Tails look like stupid amateurs because they're somehow quicker to go after him.
24:03Only for everyone to look like a stupid amateur because somehow they all just stopped to talk to him instead of beating him up to get the emeralds back.
24:13Though Sonic didn't need to beat him up because all he wanted to do was put a tracking device on him to follow him to where he was before.
24:19So that's one smart idea of Tails in a story full of dumbass character moments and vilifying Rouge into a casual murderer.
24:26The first part of the story was so boring because his pacing was too slow and it was nothing but boring, overly abundant dialogue that often just did recap the characters already knew.
24:38The rest was just a mess of Shadow and Rouge being idiots again in a situation that logically never would have happened.
24:45Because if anyone found an emerald, he would just return it to Sonic, not advertise it because that's going to cause Eggman to try to steal it.
