Sonic Boom

About a year ago, I lost a bet and had to marathon all the episodes in season 1. It's a really bad show with a shit animation budget, and only the rare good joke eventually got a chuckle out of me. Then when season 2 came out, I started watching it, without needing a reason. I can't tell if it's good or not. I can't tell if I'm genuinely laughing at the trying-to-be-dave-the-barbarian writing or if my standards have been lowered through overexposure to shit.

I haven't been watching a lot of these episodes but I got a good laugh out of the last one. The one where Eggman's brother tries to pretend to be Sonic but everyone in town just casually knows his shit.

I watched the "Turns out Sticks's dad was The man! And everyone's racist to her for it! So the racist idiots democratically elect Eggman, who turns on the racist idiots and wants to demolish burial grounds- I mean houses to build a pipeline- I mean theme park! Only through subverting the democratic process and rendering your votes meaningless can we keep evil autocrats from taking over!" episode and hated every second of it.

Except the part where Sticks and Amy hugged, it was sweet.

The rest was godawful. And the fuck's up with this OC Sticks? If you're going to take "Actiony" characters and put them into a jungle island setting where anything can happen be it wacky or comedic, and you're going to introduce a character to fit the theme, why make your OC such a shit one? She's got the voice of Suzy Carmicheal and the personality of every cliche crazy conspiracy nut that's sometimes right ever!

Sup Forums loves Sonic Boom, curb your autism.

I want to Cuddle Sticks

I've only seen a handful of episodes and I still end up laughing at some of the things they do. Mostly out of surprise of how they went about it for a Sonic cartoon.

>Amy to pet bee: "Play dead."
>Bee: *Explodes and actually dies*
>Amy in horror: "NOOOOOOO!!!"

Then you got things like Eggman's frustration on constantly having to change his password. It's relatable and that makes it funny.

I'd say that as time went on and the writers realized that they could do anything they wanted, they started getting away with anything they wanted.

I disagree.

At least half of the jokes in this show are 4th wall breaks, self-depreciating humor, memes, or Sonic Fandom references.

It gets real old real fast

It's pretty repetitive, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have genuinely funny lines and excellent deliveries.

Overall fun. Can't stand watching more than two episodes in one go though.

this is 4 edgy 5 me.

was inevitable I suppose

While we're on the topic of Sonic animations

>dares to have a different opinion than me
>EDGY!!!! TROLL!!!! MUST BE BAIT!!!!!!

Well to be fair: when this was just coming off the heels of the incredibly shitty game, Nobody was really hyped for the cartoon - or the comics. ESPECIALLY with all the bullshit rumours around about how it was going to replace the current Sonic design. I think the show has started to get MUCH better simply because they have sort of accepted the SONIC SPORTSTAPE and associated boom memes and ran with it. I can't really tell you which Season it starts to improve, but you can tell from the fact there is actual meme reaction images that the reception of the show has improved

...

I unironically enjoy it, not so much for the 4th wall jokes but because it's comfy

Sonic Boom's TV writers seem to be better than whoever wrote Rise of Lyric.

Only if you're an autist

Season 2 keeps getting better and better and I eagerly await every new episode because they're consistently good.

Between the reception of the games and Cartoon Network giving it a shitty timeslot and then moving it to Boomerang, there just aren't that many people who still care about this show. And I think most of the people that do care pirate it because they don't have access to Boomerang. That's probably why they started getting away with as much as they do in the current season because the higher ups aren't paying attention since nobody's even watching the show.

The one thing that I absolutely must praise Boom for is that it's the first Sonic show since Adventures of Sonic that's just a show about fucking Sonic The Hedgehog. No Freedom Fighters that get more character development than him, no shit about him and his siblings trying to find their mom, no annoying human characters, it's just a show about Sonic and his sidekicks and Eggman and fuck all the show producers in the past that thought it needed to be more than that.

>excellent deliveries.
This is what makes the show for me desu.
I'm watching the first season right now on Netflix, and even though is weaker than season 2 it still has some great lines.
>Tails: I thought it was clever, Sonic
>Sonic: Don't patronise me

Interestingly, RoL wasn't actually a tie-in with the cartoon at first. It was the other way around. Sega actually forced BigRedButton to "synergize" with the cartoon's story at the last minute and BRB had to completely re-write the story to make it fit better with the show. It probably would have been better being its own thing, oddly enough.

And that's to say nothing of having BRB remake the whole game on a platform they didn't have experience with at the last second (I don't care how many people you throw at them to "help" with it, any developer will tell you that's simply ridiculous to do at that point in the development schedule.) which created the dumpster fire we got in the end. BRB definitely had some dumb ideas too, but Sega was absolutely the one to fuck up Rise of Lyric beyond repair.

Look up RoL's development history sometime, it's very eye opening and explains why it was so bad. For anyone who knows anything about Sega though, it'll just be business as usual.

How could you make a game true to Boom's laid back and episodic nature? A VN?

The Sonic Boom writing staff would make the best telltale game ever

>It's another "Reboot that strips out a majority of the original elements and basically turns into an animated sitcom"
I mean granted, they do it pretty well, but I just want a fun, good looking, not atrociously written action-adventure cartoon for once. Is that too much to ask? At least the Ducktales reboot is looking like it might scratch that itch.

HOLY SHIT. I WANT.

>Eggman straight up tells you your choice didn't matter

>oooh Ill remember that
>Eggman will remember that

...

I feel conflicted about Boom Eggman. There's just... something that makes him attractive.

So the writing in the new season is pretty solid but here's my question
How do you get over the fucking heinous ugly ass side characters?

By not being a bitch


Also I jack off to the twins

More screenshots of prime sonic boom comedy plz

I like this one

>mfw I discovered that the writer of this episode is the same person that made the long as fuck webcomic about Silver and Sonic's ghost like 10 years ago

Sonic boom episode written by lazerbot when?

Probably because this Eggman looks fit.

The side characters' models have steadily been improving. Season 1 had to make all their models from scratch in a short time and it was clear they were on a budget.

I think it's genuinely funny pretty much the whole way through.

That's an exaggeration

>That's an exaggeration

not a huge one

Sonic Boom has the humor of a Youtube cartoon; it's a Youtube cartoon made with the production values and distribution of a network series. The humor comes from how bizarre it is to see that kind of humor coming from official media of something that has such subjectively low expectations because it's a fucking network Sonic cartoon.

Decent writing presented in an uncannily amusing way.

>tfw the Sonic Boom writing style will never carry over to the games or any future works
Sonic Boom gave me an excuse for the first time in a long time to enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog

You should play Mania

>that time the old monkey randomly blurts out "I hate Gogobas" with no context or reason

Please don't tell me you were one of the fags who enjoyed Satam or Aosth (unironically)

>it's a that one guy that irrationally dislikes Satam and AoStH episode
you could have at least named an actual bad show like Underground

Why does Sticks make me feel funny for?

Both are shit

Because, she feels sorry for you, pity even, she wants to free you from your loneliness as she snaps your spine and ends your pathetic terran life.

...

Thanks for your insight user, now please move along.

I thought the cartoon was always good from day one.

>Tails giving advice on what to feed a baby
>liquefying a chili dog

Is there an actual download link to this show? The 360p on youtube hurts my eyes

>Sonic Boom has the humor of a Youtube cartoon
And that cartoon is Sonic Shorts

Am I the only person who likes certain side characters from the sonic games like Shadow, Rouge, and Blaze?

>Am I the only person who likes . . . Rouge, and Blaze
you have no idea or never visited a furry porn site

...

>"Knuckles Probably Won't Remember That"

Except sticks is /ourgirl/

You've never been to a rouge the bat thread on Sup Forums, have you?

Yes, I understand porn wise but I mean as characters part of the story. We're the games really ruined by their addition? Or were they just bad from bad wrighting?

Literally nobody plays sonic for the story

The only character that had objectively awful gameplay was silver.
All that stupid crap in '06 set a precedent for weird story elements like Chip from unleashed and The story-book games.
A lot of the technical problems in the 3d games can be explained by being rushed for the holidays,poor quality control and a severe lack of patching.

Then why do people complain about them?
>People were flipping their shit over generic princess kiss.
>Not already being used to ow the edge
>If it was Mario And the Black Knight you'd eat that shit Up.

Nobody plays it for the story, but that doesn't mean you have to like it especially when it's stupid for a sonic game

Maybe they should bring back the storybook games. However with one caveat. It has to be with the Sonic Boom cast.

Instead of Blaze the Cat, Sticks with represent Percival.

I think it's a slight exaggeration to say that half the jokes are self aware or 4th wall breaks, it's just that every thread jerks off to these particular jokes and recommends episodes with these jokes in them. I think most of the jokes are actually just weird gags and satire

...

no, that's the new Mickey.

Best episode.

>We're the games really ruined by their addition?

Morons like to complain the Sonic series has too many characters and that's what ruins it. What they fail to see is that it's not the amount of characters, but the fact that Sega/Sonic Team do absolutely nothing with them, and when they do their gameplay is generally terrible because they're weighed down by shitty gimmicks.
>Amy, Big, and arguably Knuckles and Gamma in Sonic Adventure
>Tails/Eggman and Knuckles/Rouge in Sonic Adventure 2
>Sonic Heroes
>Shadow the Hedgehog
>Almost everyone in Sonic 06
There are games that manage it properly. Sonic 3 & Knuckles, the Sonic Advance series, probably a couple others I'm forgetting. My point is that they tend to be inferior to Sonic, which leads to the belief that Sonic games should only star Sonic and nobody else.

The comics tend to make better use of all the characters, but
>caring about story in Sonic

How old are Sonic and his friends supposed to be? Roger's voice for Sonic makes him sound a bit older than usual.

Sonic is 15, Tails is 8, Knuckles is 16, Sticks' age is unknown, and Amy is 12.
sonic.sega.jp/SonicChannel/character/

Knuckles was acceptable in Sonic Adventure 1 because at least the radar beeped when you were close to ANY emerald piece instead of just the one the game wanted you to find. I'll never forgive the Sonic Adventure 2 devs for that bullshit.

Yes, that's why I said "arguably". Personally, I found all the Sonic Adventure characters fun in their own ways, but I realize just how flawed some of them are.

I don't think those ages are accurate for the boom versions.

All we know is that they're "tweens" according to Sonic in one episode, forgot which one tho

The Boom cast is the same age their main series counterparts. twitter.com/frostman007/status/529764543983919104

>The only character that had objectively awful gameplay was silver.
>only character

You like Sonic Boom, dontcha OP?

Amy looks too old to be a loli

FUcking pathetic fox he suck so much. Sonic should bang Zooey in front of that miserable pile of shit.

>Bullying tails

Well even with that Tails should be older and Amy looks and acts older at least.
