Now this sort of issue has come up with almost every single thing that I've read or watched, thats part of an ongoing series. Presenting ladies and gentlemen...the slap on plot!

The slap on plot usually has a plot with no warning come to the surface, developments in abrupt relationships nonexsistant but the final result is in your lap and things were not at all like they were last time you saw it. Now this idea obviously has the ability to change the status quo a lot but the question is: Is "this" a way to really a good way to do it or should things be dealt with a bit more to ensure the fans some justice?

My answer is... slap ons usually do not give a person a chance to bond with the plot/relationship. How do you expect the changes to grow on the veiwers, be accepted, be enjoyed and to have an established a connection/bond with the veiwers if they've never gotten a chance to really develop that bond with the plot/pairing since you slapped it on? They didn't grow with the developments so its not very easy if possible (depending on the person) to simply like everything they see dumped on them.

I'm going to say that I've been looking into the Sonic comics and to do that I have to be on my way to the comic store.. y'know where you pick up your occasional Inuyasha here and a little Ah my Goddess there. Eventually you gotta think "what about American comics?" So I've been grasping onto these Archie Betty and Veronica things.. didn't really attract me, got more thrills from the Kodocha no Omocha manga starring 12-15 year old kids. Hey Archie fans, not to say the comic you like sucks I just really didn't connect with what I read when I did.


I can hardly remember what the heck it was I was reading, all I knew was that it wasn't for me... So new comic. Okay so how about the Powerpuff girls? Well I'll admit I actually every once in a blue moon watch them on TV, buuuut thats not enough to keep me buying their comics (as money doesn't grow on trees and there's a bazillion other ways to spend my it).

Then there was Lara Croft. Now for some of those guys out there who like a girl wearing short pants and having big boobies move around a lot, feel free to buy her comic. I remember vividly that there was some crash, she trained, and a few other parts stick out

Random guy: were they her boobies what were sticking out?

o___o I meant the storyline folks but ya never know.

*nudges C0nker* so.. dunno about me but you may like Lara.. jk!

Anyway the comic I bought managed to elaborate on what I think was Lara's past, but...I didn't feel like the comic was doing much to allow the veiwers to connect with her character. So while I knew partially of her past, Lara and me just weren't connecting, so I'll stick to her two movies. While some of you guys... and girls can keep your eyes stuck to her bust and rear.

(Lara fans don't flame me, I'm joking)

That was yeeeears back and now the only comic I really have on my American comic plate is Sonic.

Now to inform those who have no idea: Sonic went to save Earth and got blasted to another end of the universe. So he returns home after his journey from the other end of the universe to see :

His main love interest turned into a bawling abusive "psycopath." Now when someone so much as kicked Sonic, Sally acted like he was being burned alive, and suffering from a very strong case of ebola because she thought he was dead that year he was in space... and it was so unbearable (inset fake tears). But a couple issues before she contradicted herself by saying she knew he was alive. I think her insane state right now is really working on her mind. Then if you thought that was interesting she abuses him after he tells her he can't rule with her because he has to...fight for the people so they don't all die! Yeah Sal he's been doing that for soo long I'd think you would've gotten it by now.

You have Mina who nearly dies for Sonic before he leaves for his space trip, now trying to keep things steady with a guy we never heard of: Ash, and why not, last she checked she didn't think Sonic loved her. I can see why she'd want to try to move on, that doesn't mean the writers should expect fans to love this slap on pairing though, as it could've waited sometime after the space trip to be cannon so we could've seen development. But I get it! Keep in mind guys your not supposed to like how Ash looks with Mina because they had a real developed realtionship (considering you saw none of that), your supposed to like him because of the fact he's: the angsty cold boy who out of nowhere walks in a girls life, and has a named ripped off of Pokemon's main character combined with Mina; the happy girl. no development on the relationship was ever given to us to "like" it or to "connect" with it. just "yaaay lets use a boring cliche to justify Mina's current relationship with boy ____" and the comic wonders why some of us don't fall over and praise them for they're actions o___o;

Bunnie and Ant break up because Ant is now a cold bad boy too! Go sit in the wannabe cold boy corner with Ash Ant!

Ant: Hmph *walks into the corner*

But the reasoning was because Ants character changed to that cold boy and Bunnie didn't like it. Well at least that got some explanation unlike...

The "real" Fiona fox being Tails' new love interest. Now from what I hear, Tails loved a robotic duplicate of that fox, and since the robot that he liked is dead people want him paired with the real Fiona the bot was meant to look like. Though Belldandy said it best when Skuld said she'd make another girl for Banpei that was like first girl robot he liked since she had been thrown away and was gone.

Belldandy said: no one can or should replace the one Banpei loved, he can leave her in his memory. Well I dunno if the writers doing this relationship need that "talk" right now. From what I know it looks like a pairing where Tails has a crush on Fiona for superficial reasons that are because she looks like the bot. But then again he may like Fiona for Fiona...Oh though I wouldn't know this because *gasp* they didn't develop the relationship, it was just a slap on pairing that we see when Sonic gets back from his "trip." And just like Mina/Ash we're supposed to like this pairing for such crappy reason. Developments should've been made if they really wanted people to connect with it.

Knux still has no emerald powers, and so Julie-su says because of that he shouldn't fight... unaware... that practically all the soilders on the battlefeild have no magic powers to begin with. Gee Knux I didn't know you had a cousin that's also now apparently your mother that you go out with!

In short I wanted to explain very well slap on stuff and this is the most recent I've seen.I don't really mind if minor changes happening, but the ammount of things we saw that should've had developments were just rather sad. I've seen this comic develop its characters in a "year's time" I picked up an earlier issue and a issue from a years back to say it wasn't but "so" different. But never have I seen things spiral this much out of porportion for the sake of not having to develop something that should be and get away with it.

Now whether you like Mina hate Sonic or Inuyasha or whatever the differences people have that sparks stuff between other people one thing I think we almost all can agree to not liking is...Mary-sues. Yes that's right! And thus has been created an Anti Marysue/Marysue Awareness club



End the production of the Mary-sues! I know some of you must want to when you look at a fic and see a character completely cheapening the story with the Author's obvious attempts to make them perfect for the story, guy, girl or whatever. So hope you guys and gals out there might enjoy a club as such. I know I will.

Yay I have 1,000 hits! That's good right?

Okay everyone, I'm back with more Sonic the hedgehog news. Now if you don't read the comic this will not really interest you, but if your like me and like Mina or DO like the comics feel free to listen.

Karl from what SHQ's Cookirini says was asked a number of questions about the characters and soon to be stories coming up in Archie some of which will probably interest you and without further ado the questions that were answered by the writer of the Sonic Comic... Karl Bollers!

Questions were by Starshine and Answers were from Karl Bollers (no duh)


Hello Starshine,

To answer your questions:

1.) Question:Is or is not Mobius 25YL an alternate future?

Answer: Mobius 25 Years Later is one of many possible SONIC THE HEDGEHOG futures. DC Comics never says that the future presented in the LEGION OF SUPERHEROES is their official future and neither did Marvel Comics in their GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY comic. To do otherwise would greatly detract from current stories and affect whether or not fans care about what happens to the characters in the present day. Readers who like connecting dots between the past and present would be entertained, but those who enjoy suspense would not. Like the Terminator movies state, "The future is not yet written..."

2.) Question: With all these debates springing up about Mina and Sally, I suppose the question amongst both sides is: Will the triangle matter be touched again?

Answer: The triangle matter will be touched upon again, but not the way anyone expects. Mina fans won't want to miss SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #134.

3.) Question: Looking at two boards people wanted info on Mina's parents... What's Mina's mom's name for one thing, Drazen calls her robo mom and everyone else plain ol' Mrs. Mongoose o_o

Answer:Mina's mom's name is Isabella. The reason it has never been mentioned in a script was because neither Mina nor Sonic would ever have reason to call her by her first name and I didn't think it was necessary to shoehorn it in.

4.) Question: Another question I saw pop up was whether or not Mina's dad's a mongoose because he doesn't look like Mina in the eyes of some fans.

Answer: Mina's late father was a indeed a mongoose.

5.) Question:Who runs/leads the Freedom Fighters: Sonic or Sally?

Answer: Since the series' status quo has changed from a small group of ragtag rebels fighting an oppressor to three empires waging war, there are no longer any freedom fighters. Instead, the heroes of Acorn and Station Square are viewed more as soldiers. And since Princess Sally outranks Sonic in terms of political power, he'd have to technically listen to her. Technically.

6.) Question:How old should we consider the character Amy Rose? Some say she's 16, others 13, others 10.

Answer:According to Sonic Heroes, Amy is 12.

7.) Question:Will we ever learn about Bunnie's past before joining the Freedom Fighters (heh many fans like using the Cream sister of Bunnie complex so it brought about the question in me I guess)?

Answer:I currently have a story in the works that delves into Bunnie's pre-Knothole life.

8.) Question:Why is Tails the chosen one or will we find that out soon?

Answer:The reason for Tails being referred to as the Chosen One will be revealed in an upcoming 2-parter.

9.) Question:I also heard Fiona Fox is a Freedom Fighter, is that true? (yet another rumor)

Answer:Fiona Fox serves the Kingdom of Acorn, but like I said, there are no official freedom fighters.

10.) Question:I also heard Amy's with the Chaotix now? Is she going to be giving up Knothole and go to the floating island?

Answer:Amy was assigned to work with the Chaotix during the current "Home" arc due to the unique circumstances of that situation, but she won't be joining the Chaotix any time soon...

^v^ well there are the questions and that concludes Miko's DA news for today. Mina, Tails, Bunnie and Amy fans will perhaps get a bit of closure and pleasure from these answers.

Anyway whaddya think about the news?


Clubs

Hey everyone its Miko and I just came back from Ken's board. Many people have been using the arguement that Sonic and Sally will OFFICIALLY be together because they are in 25YL. HOWEVER Today Karl Bollers writer of the Archie Sonic stories came out of a meeting with Gabre and told this:

"Hey, Sonic fans! Just wanted to say Happy New Year and thanks for your loyal support during this past year and in previous ones.

Hope you're enjoying the new direction we've taken beginning with issue #130. We at Archie hope to make Sonic even bigger and better in 2004 than it was in 2003.

Sonic Editor J.F. Gabrie and I had a lengthy story conference this weekend to discuss upcoming storylines in the current SONIC series.

Regarding the continuity of Mobius 25 Years Later, it was decided by Justin and myself that even though the future depicted will be the one seen in the SONIC: IN YOUR FACE SPECIAL it is indeed an ALTERNATE future, similar to DC's Elseworld series.

That isn't to say that it won't be action-packed entertainment. Believe us when we say that M:25YL is going to really deliver!

And, sure, Sonic and Sally might not end up being king and queen in the future.

But who knows...

...they just might!

Peace
