Hey Sup Forums, insider here. Thought you'd all be interested to know the state of the Boom TV show.
SEGA higher-ups were ready to pull the plug on the show after season 2 (and on the entire Boom subfranchise, actually, the games and merch aren't selling) but they've been blindsided by the sudden increase in support and exposure it's gotten towards the end of its run and at the moment are rushing to find a way to capitalise on it.
There's no contract for season 3 with Cartoon Network as of yet, and the original writers' team has largely disbanded, but we're in talks with licensees to try and secure a distribution platform/funding for a third season. Likely candidates at the moment are Hulu and Discovery Family, but the suits aren't happy with the way CN fucked with the scheduling during season 2 so I doubt it'll be them again.
Either way, don't expect to hear anything official about it until well into the year, but just know talks are happening.
TL;DR SEGA have next to no clue how to respond to the sudden uptick in support (thanks a lot for that, by the way) but they're working on securing a deal with distributors. Hang in there.
Yeah, and I'm sure we're getting that Sonic Heroes HD remake later this year too, right?

>Writers have largely disbanded >They are only considering s3 because of social media popularity Okay chums, get ready for Ugandan Knuckles to make a HILARIOUS cameo in season 3, as he references trump's twitter account and grumpy cat

It's one of my favorite cartoon shows of all time. I'll gladly wait another couple of years for the next season. If you know anyone at Sega let them know that. This show is Spongebob levels of comedic gold.
Another way you could change it up is have it not just be about Sonic Boom, and about the franchise itself with the same characters and humor. You could include more of the classic characters and have even more interesting episodes. They just have to get back those original writers though, that's what made it work.

>This show is Spongebob levels of comedic gold. I like this show too, but you might be going a little overboard there. The writing is very hit or miss.
Adrian King
Big if true
Gabriel Torres
I hope s3 come out in the spring early I can't wait to see amy again.
David Lewis
Amy is top-tier Sonic waifu,
Caleb Sullivan
It may not be Spongebob tier, but it's honestly the closest we've ever gotten for a good while now. It's rare to find an animated show that appeals to all ages these days, and the Sonic Boom crew has done an excellent job doing so.
Brody Roberts
This. Some of the meta humour in Boom is Animaniacs tier.
Camden Morgan
I would definitely like season 3! Only for Shadow, though :)
Carter Gonzalez

Ayden Cooper
Surprised SJWs never got their hands on this. 'REEEEEE SINGLING OUT ONLY FEMALE CHARACTER.'
Asher Nguyen
But both Sticks and Amy are females.
Landon White
Except in the video game Sticks is a useless NPC who doesn't interact with you in any meaningful way and who ignores you once she sets you a single sidequest.
Ethan Jones
>YOU'RE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ALL HEDGEHOG KIND, AND FOR THAT YOU WILL PAY
I died laughing, it's just so ridiculous.
Michael Phillips
I don't think even SJWs can care about the Sonic Boom games.
David Ward
Sticks is an important part in Fire and Ice if I recall, and she's one of the main characters in the TV show.
Liam Lewis
The actual line is even better.
(referring to a crappy CD rack Sonic built) 'YOUR SHODDY CRAFTSMANSHIP BRINGS SHAME ON ALL HEDGEHOG-KIND. AND FOR THAT, YOU SHALL PERISH.'
William James

Even if they have all of those pre-made assets that would make it relatively easy to get a season 3 going, seems like it would be better for them to plan out a cartoon with the proper Sonic designs and get the the writers back for that if they care so much about the dialogue getting passed around on social media. I would shed a tear for Eggman's inter-dimensional changeling surfer dude brother, and move on.
Hunter White
Amy's not female. She's-a crazy pizza man, who juggles and sings.
Jose Bailey
Shes playable in the two 3DS games. Shes only an NPC in Rise of Lyric, and that's because Sticks was made for the show and Lyric was being worked on well before.
Aaron Hall
I want to believe you're telling the truth...but I don't want to get hurt again..
Lucas Young
And just like that I'm ok with the ending we got.
Cooper Adams
what other memes has this show used?
Jonathan Campbell
>the original writers' team has largely disbanded This plus the fact that Boom's showrunner has already moved on to another project just makes me wish the show stays dead at this point.
We had a good thing while it was going, and now it's over. We don't need a potentially shitty, mediocre season to tarnish what we already had.
Henry Long
Chris-chan misery episode.
Lucas Gomez
...So you're calling it bad?
Zachary Martinez
is this fucking real
Eli Foster
That's pretty good
Nicholas Ramirez
>writers team disbanded >showrunner on something else let it stay dead maybe bring back sticks
Evan Ortiz
Sticks was in one of the recent M&S Olympic games, so she's now on the same level as most other Sonic side-characters. That is, she'll likely only show up in spinoff games from now on.
Julian Russell
No. Stop. Sonic Boom has only received support because the writing was televised shitposting. Cancel Sonic Boom, make a regular Sonic show with the same tone. Seriously. The worst thing about Sonic Boom is the fact the designs are so abysmal.
Jeremiah Clark
Now SEGA is going to get more involved and ruin everything good about it.
Joshua Hernandez
>make a regular Sonic show with the same tone They should make one based on the classic and adventure games instead.
Jaxson Hughes
Sonic Boom worked because it created an AU where the writers could freely create a status quo that allowed for all the character interactions and joke setups that we enjoyed so much.
They don’t need to completely reboot the brand in order to fix the character design issues.
Hunter Parker
Do you know the way wit hboom Knuckles
Ethan Nguyen
Chris-chan on suicide watch
Chase Green
This exists, it's called Sonic X.
Easton Sanders
>she is now the princess daisy of Sonic Fuck
Adam James
Sonic X is only based on the Adventure games and mostly original stuff. Which is pretty good. One starting from the classics and not adding things like another dimensions for humans and stuff like that would be nice though.
Gabriel Price
What I really want is a DVD release.
Jackson White
Part of me would be happy that there could be a third season, but part of me feels Fortunately the show had a very solid run. Despite 2 seasons, it had 104 segments.
Brayden Peterson
>mfw am Britbong and the entire first season was released on DVD here
Isaiah Parker
>buffkles >abysmal design
Nicholas Young
>the original writers' team has largely disbanded
Then what is the point? If we got a season 3it will be a empty shell of the show
Easton Wright
Did anyone notice the huts in Sonic Boom look a lot like the ones in Donkey Kong?
James Morgan
You mean Sticks
Oliver Jones
I need help. A fictional character make me happy like some schoolboy with a crush. I only post so you people can remind me how wrong this feeling is, and maybe it'll go away.
Gavin Torres
It'll never go away, we're stuck like this It's probably because of those bedroom eyes
This show was probably the most consistently funny cartoon we've had in years. Of course, this only guaranteed its eventual demise.
Jayden Young
Its fun how they save him just for season finales and just amp up his edge to comedic levels
Elijah Rogers
If Season 3 happened and they did a "Vector" sorta episode where another sonic char gets tossed into Boom who would you want to see and what would their personality / gimmick be?
I wouldn't mind Silver showing up and breaking the fourth wall slightly with knowledge of the future
Michael Lewis
ROUGE
Jayden Clark
OP is probably a troll, but there are two instances that suggest there might actually be a season 3.
>You'll never play a game of soccer with Sticks and pick on her after you handily beat her.
>You'll never have her glomp you, filled with much sexual frustration.
>You'll never fall in love in a sporadic, life-binding event.
>You'll never bring sticks a freshly caught raw fish you caught after your trip to the ocean. The fish dangling from a spear that you've made yourself.
>You'll never toss the soccer ball up and down as you two chill out watching shitty B-Movies.
>You'll never cuddle with Sticks in her hammock after a long night of crap movies, fish and video games, video games you worked your ass off to install in her hovel.
>You'll never watch Alex Jones episodes and meme clips online with Sticks after she refuses to go to bed because of her paranoia setting in.
>You'll never fall asleep with Sticks resting on top of you, with the tinfoil hats she made protecting you from ETs, the Deep State and bad Late Night comedy show broadcasts.
How the fuck can we possibly survive without this cutie in our lives? Hold me.
Jackson White
>her clothes are just bandages holding her boobs in place >barely
Jeremiah Rivera
yes she is
Jackson Nelson
She probably fucks like an animal in heat. Might not even let you leave the room until she's fully satisfied.
Jaxson Clark
God you're pathetic. so am I
Camden Moore
We're all trash in a World full of trash and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Joseph Rodriguez
Silver should show up to stop Silver from preventing Silver to change the timeline because doing so has Silver go back in time to stop Silver, which gives Sonic a headache and just kicks them all out.
Angel Evans
Now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try in an attempt to drive her up the wall. Emotional Dependency 101.
Chase Reyes
ty
Tyler Rivera
Amy would be down for a rebound fuck after that.
William Ortiz
Boom did a really good job of keeping true to the character and being really funny
Aiden Johnson
Ooo Son-Amy spicy!
Brody Watson
Honestly this I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a cartoon as much as Boom when the writing picked up.
Juan Bailey
only Sega and Sonic can make jokes and references to itself and still have it be funny.
Easton Gonzalez
This. The only great part of the show was always the writing.
Nathaniel Gray
>People have been complaining I don't guard enough rare stones
Matthew Bennett
>but the suits aren't happy with the way CN fucked with the scheduling during season 2
Serious question here, does TTG seriously make CN that much money that they can burn Bridges like they do? I swear to God so many shows have died or are on their way to dying because they straight give every show that isn't Teen Titans the death schedule and pull the plug when nobody watches them. Why? What is the fucking point? It wastes everyone's time. Stop greenlighting other shows if you are just going to shaft them 2 months later
Aiden Martin
Obviously it does since it brings in the most numbers because its being played all the time.
Jackson Williams
But this can't seriously be a long term strategy. Has it worked before with no lasting consequences? Eventually people will tire of TTG. SO who is going to work with them after CN hard shafted their shows to garbage slots?
Jackson Gomez
No thanks, let it die as a cult classic. reddit found out about the show so the writers do just try to pander those faggots
Jace Nelson
Amy is not a wife, amy is cute imouto
Jace Phillips
...
Wyatt Wright
CN messed up Sonic Boom Schedule due to the obivous Teen Titan GO filling up 95% of the slot.Even if this show goes to Boomerang or Toonami, there is no way Sonic Boom TV Show can gain back the loss SEGA had with their lacklustre game.
What SEGA needs to do is to continue the game spin off as a more comedic focus like the show. Maybe make it more like a traditional Sonic game with ring collection and platforming. Avoid something like the avatar stage in Sonic Forces. More akin to Sonic Advance 3 playability
Hunter Thompson
>Avoid something like the avatar stage in Sonic Forces.
Well, look lets not get rash now. I actually kinda enjoy some of those avatar stages. It certainly wasn't the worst thing about the game.
Owen Jones
>season 3 Please give me it
I did think it was weird they made new Sonic boom merch
