oof. that’s a lot of broken weapons!

Pretty sure she was just tan etc. As the black characters from the game like Nessa etc. are not washed at all. I think people are digging too much into it honestly. 

Seems like much ado about nothing. There’s barely even a difference.

That last image does all the talking for me. Hair is darker in-game, clothes are darker in-game, skin is darker in-game. Everything is darker in-game.

I must be blind because I’m not seeing a difference. I mean, maybe she’s slightly darker in the official artwork, but she’s far from what I would call a different race so calling it whitewashing doesn’t make much sense to me.

At the end of the day the whole argument that Ellie should die to the Firefly scientists is an argument that defies both in game and real world logic..

I think the thing about the discussion though is that it ignores one key element, which is that it assumes the Fireflies can do what they claim to be able to in synthesising a cure when in my view on the game it very much foreshadows that the fireflies have no idea what the hell they’re doing and, much like the…

The fact that they remove entire radio stations from the game over time is reason enough to never trust “games as a service” or even digital only (yes I’ve been digital only on PC for 15+ years). If i want to play the original Vice City I only need to pop the disc in my ps2 and fire it up, but the same isn’t possible…

Those Meddling Kids!

The only Sonic that Robotnik needs to get is a Route 44.

And klefki is awesome, it jingles and dragons quiver.

I didn’t know I wanted this until you mentioned it

If somebody ever tries to tell you that Dynamax was better than Mega Evolution, please point to Mawile to show how stupid that statement is.

Eh, I didn’t think it was that weird. It’s not like it flew in the face of the well-established Sonic origin story we’re all accustomed to (because that doesn’t exist). And as some have pointed out, it’s not even the first owl character appearance in Sonic. She does seem like a bit of an afterthought character, but I…

Its a Sonic adventure reference and probably an Archie reference as well. Since a tribe of echidnas is also just a thing in general. 

It kind of fits though, since they do say that he can never go back. He does mention Longclaw again in the film. But all this analysation about the story is kind of silly anyway, since there's barely a developed story there. Heck, the games have a deeper mythology involving the emeralds than this movie did.

So, my wife and I were able to see this last year in a pre-screening thing... the special effects weren’t done and some scenes were still storyboard.

Yeah, it's less forced than it is a joke about how expensive it is here (I have one bedroom in the East Bay for the bargain price of $1200/mo)

From the weird Sonic anime movie.
