>that exaggeration on that first "edgelords"
Fuck, I love this series.
his new voice sucks
I miss the smooth older voices compared to this "I REALLY need to cough but instead I dont" sounding one
still hoping for pic related one day in a game so I can get more fucking fanfics to read
They've finally figured out that Shadow is such a product of the 00s that you can't really play him straight anymore.
this is hilarious fuck you
i bet you think shadow is cool you fucking retard
Shadow's new voice actor has this weird inflection that the old one never had, that's what bugs me the most. Sonic's voice actor also sounds way better here than he does in Forces for some reason.
>shadow likes Kill La Kill
Now it has come full circle
>Who loves orange soda?
Holy shit it’s even in the backgrounds. Goddamn this show is great.
>carry Blaze
Why?
Eggman's VA is way too good at his voice. It doesnt even sound like he is acting most of the time.
His casual Eggman is godtier.
>It's a file called Sonadow
>NO DON'T OPEN THAT
>i don't have to explain shit
chaosforce
Roger Craig Smith is aces
>"Shad, what is that, your hipster nickname?
I'm fucking done
>eh this okay I guess Ill just listen to it in the background and
>Sonadow
think she hurt her leg or something so they had to get a little comfy
shadow even pulls a face turn just for her
its the only sanic comic I like
>I only use Android
>Wait is that cannon
What issue was that? I'll have to check it out
I know the second one is treasure team tango 2 but in the first one shadow follows metal sanic to blazes world and hangs out with her and marine for a bit
>"Oh, wow. Look who it is. I didn't realize we were letting edgelords into these things now"
>spoken all in one breath
>hipster irony dripping off of every syllable
>mfw Roger Craig Smith has turned Sonic into annoying stereotypical Gen Z geek and is showing no signs of stopping any time soon
I'm worried Sega is going to run this whole ironic Sonic thing into the ground
Its good to be self aware but this is pushing it
but dude, it's ironic and self-depricating which makes it funny because Sonic sucks and shoulldn't be taken seriously at all. If you don't like it you just need to stop being such an autist.
The fact that you unironically think that way is troubling.
He become one with its character, I wouldn't be surprised if he has several hedgehogs as pets now, and evilly laugh at them several times a day.
Like Charles Martinet?
They ran it into the ground the day they hired aaron webber
I like the idea of silly self awareness but there is a limit to all this ironic bullshit, call me an autist all you want
Am I wrong though? Everybody loves Boom and that's one of its main things while still paying homage to the overall series it flanderizes. The whole franchise is a joke, might as well play along with it, right?
Yes, you're wrong. The Sonic sucks meme was beaten into the ground years ago, yet people like you (who I'm guessing are a casual fan at best) keep it alive as though Sonic Colors, Sonic Mania, and now Sonic Forces weren't well-received. You can't just keep banking on the franchises' past failures for laughs. eventually you'll seem out of touch.
But let's say you were right and the Sonic franchise as a whole really was lame. Is that any excuse for Sonic's social media accounts to use the official VAs in this way? How misguided do you have to be to pander to people who perpetually bash the IP you're being payed to represent, even when the games are actually good?
I fucking love Sonic's VA. Knew his name but forgot it, he's great though
Shadow has awful taste in anime.
KLK is just a shitty gurren laggan
>How's Maria?
This fucking got me too hard. Jesus christ it's amazing.
Glad I didn't pass this thread up.
Sonic is a franchise so entrenched in the 90s that it has to reinvent itself every few years to downplay that. Right now self-awareness is hip and laughing at themselves is a good way to show people that they don't intend to repeat that awkward decade after Sega dropped out of the console race where the franchise tried to take itself too damn seriously. Sonic should be happy it recovered to the point where the Sonic Boom games being laughably bad is treated as an outlier rather than par for the course.
Canon, you autist. Canon.
>@racersonic, hehn good name by the way
You mean shitty Gurren Lagann with lesbians.
My problem isn't so much the line itself, but RCS's delivery. I just find him obnoxious to listen to. And while I wasn't crazy about Jason Griffith either, I didn't find his voice so offputting hat I would avoid the 3D Sonic games he was in.
eggman can't fucking say weeabo holy fuck
lol settle down nerd it's just a cartoon
pretty much why boom and the twitter account gets away with so many jokes on the franchise's account and fans are all "oh we get it, hilarious!" instead of "they're mocking us!"
Let's be fair, 16:20 is probably the best one, right above "anime was not a mistake".
This should be a bigger thing.
>I now know what it is the people want
>A chance to be happy?
This shit was great.
They really should have existing characters show up in Boom more. I've gotten used to the new voices for Sonic and the other main characters since I now hear them a lot.
Meanwhile, I decided to replay Generations a few weeks ago and practically got whiplash upon hear Rouge speak with a completely different voice than I was expecting.
The VAs are having fun, that's pretty clear. I think everyone just realizes trying to be straightfaced now would just make them look pathetic, might as well be pathetic but have fun with the brand.
It's similar to how Shrek worked, it was a straight-faced comedy but then meme fags grabbed its testicles and for a short time Dreamworks decided to make him a memester. It's part keeping up with the times and part trying to have fun with what hand you're given. It'd be one thing if the meme edgy wacky YTP fags were about 30% or less of the fanbase, but everyone knows both Sonic and Shrek as the current climate it's in. I did well before knowing the Twitter was running with the idea (Sonic), and only recently have I ever known the Shrek videos by dreamworks to exist.
I'm fond of the Sonic ones because they're usually fun and everyone with the IP (That isn't like, the comics or game plotting guys) seems to have a decent chuckle. This video was surprisingly minimal cringe inducing, I expected it pretty bad but I had fun. I'm sure in the other videos there's a few moments but eh.
I might have actually considered buying Sonic Forces if it wasn't for the Shadow DLC.
He's the fucking worst, of the whole franchise.
>Sonic Forces
>Well received
Dat was cold.
I want to be friends with these VAs
Quit kidding yourself, the writing in all Sonic media is better than it has ever been. It has stopped taking itself too seriously and I hope it'll never fall victim to the mediocre writing of the 2000s again.
Nah, he's cool.
>Nobody asked about Shadamy
Shadows voice has sucked always.
Everyone has a hard on for that guy who voiced him first, but he's fucking awful. He changes the voice almost every other line.
Yes because you're forced to download a free DLC.
David Humphrey was good.
It's literally a Vegeta parody, which is perfect.
OTP is a child's play, OT3 is a mature choice.
"I only use Android."
>"wait, is that canon?"
So reddit has found out about Sonic Boom now? Fuck, there goes the enjoyment factor
...
Do kids even know what the fuck is going on with all this meta millennial in-joke shit
This, the multiple times Teen Titans Go has struck out against people who miss the old show, a lot of the jokes from Gravity Falls and the SJW thing from Gumball among a lot of other things makes me worry that we have a generation of creators who have little to no fucking idea how to create shit solely for kids and cannot put themselves in the shoes of a child and can only write for other people their age
Once again, adults love Boom. I'm sure kids do too but kids think Sonic is cool because he's new to them. Kids don't think Sonic is lame because they haven't gone through the same shit 90s kids have with autistically loving Sonic when he was cool, making shitty OCs and watching AMVs and loving Shadow as a preteen, being embarrassed about that as a teenager, seeing all the retarded deviantart Sonic fans that started popping up in 2006 and all the other throes the Sonic fandom and franchise has gone through over the past few years. It's not like he's some campy cutesy cartoon animal from the 1950s. He's still a beloved character amongst most people who didn't spend most of their childhood and teenage years being a weird kid on the internet.
...
>it's another Sonic Boom thread where people only care about the few ironic jokes that are sent to them here and there
yawn
No, he really wasn't. Go and get any two scenes from SA2 and there's a good chance Shadow sounds completely different in them. He also did whisper shouting.
>sonicfags are mad no one take le super edgy black sonic seriously
tism.
What do you think of my Fanart Sup Forums?
beautiful
roger craig smith, hes been there since sonic colors.
>3:39
Fuck me if Shadow's answer isn't the greatest thing I've heard all week.
cute
>Shadow likes Kill La Kill
why am I not surprised?
Eggman being clingy and desperate for Shadow's approval will always be funny.
>sonic was invented to capitalize on trends on what was "cool" at the time
>he's still doing that and the only difference is that it's no longer the 90s
dammit, i would have tried to send a question to them about the delay of sonicmania for the pc. at least something more or less decent could have come from that.
also, fuck sega for betraying pc users and hope forces flops!
Y'know, with the hip thing being self-conscious irony and "artists just having fun", I can't help but wonder what the fuck do the KIDS think when they watch Knuckles talk about feminism, TTG make fun of neckbeards or the horse show parrot fandom memes. It must be confusing as fuck for them.
They probably dont give a shit because kids aren't the ones watching sonic boom.
>the horse show parrot fandom memes
are they actually doing that
So was this done on the fly by the VA's or was this scripted?
They made an entire episode around fandom memes.
>there are people in this thread, right now, who honestly take Sonic seriously and are UPSET that people are making fun of their edgy desires
they did?
>He become one with its character,
>he has gone out of his way to torment Sonic's VA on a charity live stream
You can say that again.
Yeah, they did. Episode 100 was basically a clusterfuck of fandom memes and headcanon created to pander to brony autists.
I just find the "so ironic xd!!!" trend just as annoying and cringey as actual edge.
Well then maybe you should grow up.
It's just fucking Sonic man. Everyone old enough to be there for the original content and shit is in their 20s now.
>ironic and self depreciating
Like that hasn't been run into the ground
I LOVE how self aware this series is.
sonic fans everyone
>the problem is I only use Android
>wait is that canon?!
This is too funny
Smith is even more of a numale than Drummond, and thats saying something
Looking forward to the day his contract expires
That caught me completely off-guard, alongside the Maria and iOS/Android questions.
who's Maria?
I'm not a frothing sonic fan.
>@_KaineMorales asks
>Shadow calls him Miles Kaine
Shadow is a spider-fan...
>Drummond
Brian Drummond? Is he a numale?
>I just find the "so ironic xd!!!" trend just as annoying and cringey as actual edge.
It is. It's a result of literal high schooler mentality and high schooler insecurities. At least people who are edgy and like edgy things have self esteem and are happy and sure of themselves, people who cling to this ironic shit are all depressed as fuck and literally too self aware and embarrassed to like anything and now that awful mentality is being pandered to kids.
I feel like this was half and half
shadows dead ex girlfriend
That's for
>voice actor fulfilling a request for a fan
>clearly thinks its embarrassing and lame but does it anyway
>Sup Forums still gets mad for some reason
Yikes
Read the tumblr's url, clearly a horse-fan.
And remember, those idjits get triggered too easily.
If that's how you'd like to interpret it, sure
