That’s his cousin, Rass Onkey.

Oh man, when I get high...Wait, I don’t. I choose to stay in reality. It’s pretty cool.

It’s hard enough trying to work in a crossover between two television series, let alone throwing other media into the mix. Would I like to see more interplay between the various properties? Sure, but I’m also OK with them being siloed.

You nailed it. I can deal with a lot of shit in a movie if it finds a way to entertain me, but this one couldn’t. The big fight had no build behind it because I didn’t care about the characters, and by that point I was kinda hoping they would find a way to kill each other as they were both profoundly unlikable.

And…

She needs to work on cadence, as well. I felt like a kindergartner learning how a caterpillar makes a chrysalis.

“It’s also worth pointing out that the demo only offered the man’s perspective, so I hope the final library is less gender normative.”

This. Sonic Team thought they were being clever by reversing the Prince Charming Death Kiss Trope; unfortunately, they didn’t think about how the western fandom would go on to interpret it.

Kids keep buying them. Sonic is still a very recognied brand to kids.

He was always known as Dr. Eggman in Japan. The short short of it: They changed before Sonic Adventure for naming consistency. Dr. Robotnik is a relic of the old localization days; akin to still calling Bowers “King Koopa”. The fandom’s moved on.

James... Do your research. Don’t be a Kotaku writer. there’s no need to bring up the 2006 game, it’s been ten years. We’ve learned to let go. A pretty good analysis for why the plot for that trainwreck happened can be found here:

Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations were both good (I actually love Generations, but I seem to be more enthusiastic about it than most people) so it revived hopes that someone at Sega knew what they were doing.

Judge: Will council please join me in my hyporbolic chambers.....

I loved that little bit of intellectual superiority he dropped in there:

That would make sense, although we’ll have to wait and see how it actually looks. Those Gamera movies are probably suitmation at its most convincing (so far) but even then the costumes have an appeal disconnected from modern standards for effects. The weight of the movements and the obsessive detail of the miniatures…

So...how does this Kickstarter thing work?

I wanted an Easy Bake oven so freaking bad when I was six. But, you know, boys aren't allowed to like cooking until adulthood when some of them magically become badass chefs like Emril Lagase.

Do you seriously think Transformers is better? I’m sorry to hear about your head injury.

..or 5) They didn’t know the sex at the time they wrote up the marketing, and didn’t have a paleontologist handy to tell them these are obviously females.

Meh, I’m going to say it’s more likely that the writer was a guy who just didn’t really give enough shits to look into it and used he as a default pronoun, as many men do. Which is it’s own problem, but not the same levels of nefarious as the other suggestions you make. Besides, it’s not like those on-box blurbs are…

While I don’t deny that there’s a general problem with genderwashing toys for kids (No Gamora, No Black Widow etc), I don’t agree that this is necessarily part of that.
Isn’t it far more likely that the blurb for this toy was written by some harried copywriter who hadn’t been shown the film and wasn’t aware of the “All…
