Early Askcess: Comic Talk

Got a bunch of talk centered around Sonic the Hedgehog writers; particularly Ian Flynn and his work. I write a lot of these as I think of it, like I'm giving a stream of consciousness monologue in my head and just typing out what is being said. There are times, much like with these, where I get so into the weeds that I don't know if what I'm saying even makes sense. I always wonder how many people I've unintentionally upset because I'll just start rambling like this. So it goes, I guess. Somebody was clearly trying to get something out of me, and I hope I didn't step on any toes too hard.

Anonymous asked: You need to reread Archie Sonic. I can assure you, it was not as nearly as good as you thought it was, and the IDW comic is not as nearly as bad as you think it is. Slow arcs doesn't mean bad arcs, and there's more character development than just "Surge attacks Sonic." And this arc clearly had an ending. Stop letting the metal plague arc overright your critical thinking skills. It was *years ago.*

Anonymous asked: Could a good way to bring back the Chao Garden be to make it a full-fledged game? Sega would take the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle as a base, and improve and expand everything else (more gardens, more Chao types and transformations, more mini-games, more bonus features, etc.). Is this a good idea? Could it be profitable for Sega?

Anonymous asked: Apart from animated shorts, IDW comics and Sonic Frontiers, I don't know Ian Flynn. However, I always hear great things about him. What makes Ian Flynn so special to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise? If you had to rate his work on Sonic out of /100, how would you rate him?

Generally speaking I only post links because sometimes in the run-up to these getting posted, I might add or change things about the posts. Ergo, visiting the link is the only way to make sure what you're reading is the most up-to-date version of the post without me having to constantly also edit things here on Patreon. Once a post goes live, the link stops working. Publishing dates are also subject to change if I move things around.

You can submit an ask here, though tumblr is picky about it now and forces you to have a login.
