You forgot that the theme song has lyrics.

There’s also the twist that “The Ancients”— that mysterious and long-dead race of aliens who created the Stargate system in the first place, were not quite as exotic as we would first assume: they were actually just a race of humans from a much earlier evolutionary path.
As much as I like Atlantis, I don’t think it really handled many of its female characters too well. Weir’s negotiating skills were TERRIBLE despite that being her specialty. Keller got some development and her romance with McKay was sweet, but she never really developed into her own character, just someone for other…

There was one in the works, but unfortunately was never completed.
... including the “ creepy furry fan “ who wrote that for you?
I get that people who have read the comics for years are bummed, but the assumption that the comic has pretty much anything to do with the brand’s continued success is a little silly. If anything, the fact that Sega continued to let the comic run despite it being so drastically different from the games is the thing…
Mid 30's here as well. Bought and read every issue up to around 200. Then I kinda stopped reading them. I still bought them though, was making money and since I owned every issue and spin off before wanted to just keep buying mainline series at the very least.
This is fascinating. Was not aware of any of this drama. What a total disaster and epic botch by Archie.

It’s one of the best-selling franchises of all time, which makes comments like this especially ill-informed. The series has had a lot of misses, but plenty of hits, too.
Legitimately brings tears to my eyes. A lot of fond memories sharing these stories with my brothers, including one we lost over 10 years ago. I can’t claim to have kept up with it, but I always loved their particular universe while I did follow it.
Yep I still have very fond memories of the Sonic Advance series.
Not surprised, but saddened that the Archie canon never got a moment in the video games spotlight via an official adaptation. Always preferred its world building and, of course, the supporting cast.
“and the fact that Sonic hasn’t had a majorly successful (or particularly well-received) video game for many of those 25 years makes it even more impressive.”
It’s a real disappointment that for a series that had developed such a deep lore, they didn’t get to do a proper finale. It would have been really nice to see the world that had developed through the Archie Comics come to a satisfying conclusion before pulling the plug unexpectedly.
For the record, Archie Comics also…
Sonic Racing All Stars Transformed is the best kart racing game ever made.
Kind of amazing since the original story was a Saturday morning cartoon that lasted what, two seasons?
Really want to blow your mind? Adventure 2 was released before the 9/11 attacks. There was less time — MUCH less time — between Adventure 2 and the beginning of the franchise than there is between Adventure 2 and today.
CJA leaving and passing the baton to Bricken was really the last nail.
You are not wrong.
