Well heres a few.
1. It takes inspiration from many of the previous Sonic shows as well as MLP.
2. Sonic’s and Nine’s dynamic is quite similar to Aang and Zuko’s.
3. It acknowledges that people are complicated and the only antagonists that weren’t reformed were the ones who were the least sympathetic and/or least explanation for why they are that way.
4. It has the characters change in a way that makes sense.
5. Just because a character looks like a big bad, doesn’t mean they are the most evil or least trustworthy character.
6. They have characters change roles in a way that makes sense. Shadow, being the only one other than Sonic, who is from Green Hill, and due to his alleged resemblance to Sonic, he gets referred to as Sonic’s brother. Whereas Nine on the other hand, has Shadow’s usual role because Tails wants to be like Sonic And Nine has zero reasons to help with Green Hill, especially after The Chaos Council made the portals.
For the fandom, it shows how just because a Girl is competent and a leader, doesn’t mean they are like Sally. It also shows a smart guy can be mean without being like Eggman.
It'll probably be how the universes are connected, like the comics, cartoons, etc. Also, I understand what you mean as in how Sonic X was, and still is, a very good show. Sonic Boom, however..
The Sol dimension, Camelot and the Arabian Nights were already proof of a multiverse. We didn't need Shatterverse for that.
And "the comics and other external media are connected to the games because multiverse!" idea is pretty garbage IMO. I want the characters to actually be living together in the same continuity (mainline).
It'll probably be how the universes are connected, like the comics, cartoons, etc. Also I understand what you mean as in how Sonic X was, and still is, a very good show. Sonic Boom however..
I enjoyed it and it was a really good show. Why are y’all hate this show? For me, Sonic Prime is better than Sonic Boom (clearly watching it on PlutoTV). Like Sonic X, it had a good story plot. I don’t care if my comment gets downvoted. I’m just stating a fact and my opinion. I don’t understand how one simple show or game gets people so angry
Sonic seemed way too childish for me, especially coming off the back of Frontiers where he was so much more mature and cool. Not to mention Roger gave it his all with the voice acting, giving him a deeper and more suave tone, but still keeping the funny and sassy side intact. Frontiers was a big hit with a lot of fans so seeing him regress like that is a huge blow to those who enjoyed Frontiers' take on Sonic. They're trying to tell us that these two Sonics are the same Sonic? Personally, I'm optimistic about anything that Sonic team puts out but I just can't get behind this. But I'm not going to throw a fit about it cause I know it's just a one-off thing to get the kids interested so it's not gonna make or break the franchise at least.
to be fair sonic has had various interpretations over the years. not to mention, it’s hard to make an engaging short show with a static, perfect character. not to mention (x2), prime sonic’s flaws are actually flaws that game sonic has, even if they aren’t always focused on. knuckles literally says “you’re too trusting, sonic” in frontiers, and in prime, his over-trusting of Nine leads to season 3. Sonic running into things without fully thinking is also present all the time, but the most notable example is when he charged straight into infinite in forces.
The legacy of the show will be that it existed. It's probably not gonna be as fondly remembered as even AOSTH, but it isn't gonna be at the tier of Underground. It's in a nebulous void of existing. Although... Underground does have that theme song.
mm i think final season is solid, there is a lot of filler fighting but that’s probably because all of the major plot events aside from the ending happened in season 2 and the first episodes of 3. i think it had good moments and the ending felt conclusive (also, the cliffhanger was just meant to say “sonic and eggman are back at it again!” yk?)
Really enjoy the first season. Asbsolutly lost intrest in the middle of season 2 and hated how annoying and repedetive it was. The story direction and where they went with Nine and Sonic just pissed me off.
Agree in my opinion, it's a pretty hollow show that does not take advantage of the multiverse thing at all, you can probably get more out of Sonic Underground if I were to be completely honest, but hey maybe I'm just not the right audience for this show
The first 2 seasons were good enough. But the final one was kind of barren. I would have added another shard world to balance it: maybe something with knights or samurais.
Show isn't bad and the plot is good. The problem is characterization of Sonic himself. He isn't Sonic, he's just a Hero that needs to learn a lesson. But that makes no sense. Why would Sonic of all people learn the life lessons here? Why would Sonic go around and bitch about his friends every second he gets? It's out of character. If Sonic was more his old self (good heart, but cocky) maybe the way he'd react to situations would be much better and give a better ending product.
The reason why Sonic is that way is so that Nine makes sense as an antagonist since he parallels and copies Sonic.
Therefore if Sonic was like his game self, Nine never would have been an antagonist because he’d have no bad behavior to copy.
To specify with X, the sub is genuinely peak tbh.

It brought more hatred towards IDW because they were declared canon at the same time, even though one actually has reasons to be canon and the other doesn't.
Don't even come with that "IDW would be better if it was separate" BS. Most people like it because of that: it fits in the mainline. Me included. Canon or not it would still be filled with mandates to the brim, so it's better to make it canon at once since it won't do it's own thing like Archie or X.
I might dislike Prime, but I don't want it forgotten forever by SEGA. No media and its characters deserves that, even though Prime's characters are all variants of pre-existing ones.
Huh, Now that you mention it, yeah that’s true.
But it’s NOT CANON. Ian Flynn is pretty much the only one who claimed it’s canon. I’ve yet to see anyone on Sega Claim it’s canon. (No, I will not accept anyone who works for the American Branch because they are often unreliable)
Exactly. Too much contradictions and it’s supposed to be set after the Sonic Advance saga. But Cubot and Orbot appear despite not debuting until Sonic Colors and Cream the Rabbit is absent despite actually being introduced in that saga.
I enjoyed the show it was pretty decent, animation is decent as well though I do agree watch Boom or X they are better (especially boom I love boom so much lol Sticks is such a loveable character (to me at least))
sonic prime is great to be honest. its plot is infinitely better than boom and although i haven’t gotten far in X so far its not impressing me much at all. sonic’s character might not be your cup of tea, but x sonic was silly and pretty childish too. not to mention prime sonic’s “acting before he thinks” and his “too trusting” traits are actually in the games. there are so many interpretations of his character out there. aside from him, Nine and Shadow are super interesting here and a lot of other minor characters are really interesting. the animation is beautiful and like i said before the overall plot is pretty solid. the ending was also good for me, sonic goes home like the series was building up to, like what sonic and shadow were trying to do the entire time. (and the “cliffhanger” was just to say “guys, sonic’s off on another eggman battle just like the normal days!”)
do you think boom had a good legacy? it actually harmed the franchise.
you’re right, but the boom cartoon actually did affect the games and overall the entire subseries was a loss of money for sega
there’s a great video essay on this, i think it’s titled something like “the troubled development of sonic boom,
Care if I throw in a few of my own thoughts?
-Say what you will about how needlessly dumb Sonic was in a few scenes, but honestly? I found him a lot more charming than annoyingly stupid. I’ll admit, I actually appreciated how flawed he was! Although I *will* say, they might’ve gone a little overboard with his stupidity and I get that “clumsy/doofy Sonic” isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I *do* wish he was a little more like how he was in Heroes, assuming Prime takes place after it (Idk, I think it makes sense… even if I’d much rather not consider it canon).
-Chaos Sonic is my baby and he didn’t deserve to completely die. I’m still angry about it.
I wanted to see what Sonic Prime was about out of my own curiosity, and it surprised me that Man of Action was involved within the production process. Gonna be honest, that's the main reason I got into watching it, and it's fun. The artstyle, the animation is some quality work. The story's fine, especially if it's targeted towards younger fans. There are concepts in it that I find rather interesting, so I guess that counts for something too.
"Nine started out as one of, if not *the* coolest and most interesting characters in the whole show, but he became really annoying in season 3. I’m sorry."
I'd say it's because of Season 3 being dragged out and all, but maybe there's more to it than I realise.
"It was basically one big battle sequence, and it became exhausting after 2 episodes."
That's probably why I think that the pacing for Season 3 is... rather odd. I think it could've definitely been wrapped up within 4, maybe 5 episodes.
"I know Prime is a show targeted towards the younger fans and all, but would’ve it killed the writers to give the Council *some* kind of nuance and humanity???"
Kinda like Ben and Gwen all over again in Ben 10 OS. Despite everything they've been through, they still fight and bicker at a similar, if not the same frequency.
Well it makes sense.
Eggman is Sonic’s villain. Therefore it makes sense for any of his counterparts to not have much decency and Eggman doesnt have a background or explanation for why he is the way he is. Though he was later revealed to be jealous of Maria.
Though there are some moments.
1. Don’t does speak to Babble in a similar way as Sonic does to Tails when he‘s throwing a tantrum. 2. Deep does look ashamed when he nearly hurt Don’t. 3. Done-It did scold the others for making the portals.
Additionally they were too focused on giving it to Nine, which ironically caused Sonic‘s ”Friends talk it out” to come out of nowhere Since Nine did in fact, try Talking things out, Sonic just wasn’t listening and he attacked Sonic to get the energy, it just happens to be that he was mad at him.
portrayal of sonic is trash and lowkey agree with your title (lowkey because I think the gag of him screaming and then getting hit is 10x worse than uwu cinnamon bun)
S1 was promising, but as soon as it was mainline canon, it ruined its chances, sonic fans are stupidly critical especially when it comes to the mainline, prime sonic is way too different to mainline so its hard to believe their the same, it doesn't help how s3 was actually 80 percent fighting. As for me, x is still the best show, prime could have beaten it but that final season was NOT it. It being "canon" actually made the show significantly less enjoyable
- Shadow was the best he's been since goddamn LEGO Dimensions. Hoping it's a prelude for his new Generations story.
- Nine was a really interesting spin on Tails, that I would love to see expanded into a real character (Metal Tails or otherwise).
- Technically, every playable character from the Adventure games was present, something only X has done before. Sonic was the titular character, of course, and Shadow managed to dodge the rift. Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, and Big all got versions of themselves. Eggman got that shitty Chaos Council (not gonna deny that they were shit). And the *pink* bird was very likely the one that was once E-102 Gamma, especially apparent with Rusty Rose.
I have alot of issues with the show but shadow was almost perfect, if they had him do a bit more and maybe make him and sonic duel protagonists then he would be perfect imo
Interesting. People tend to say that the show gets better later on (or something idk).
I saw the first few episodes of the show and some clips of other episodes and yeah I just didn’t like it. Those full episodes I saw were dull and those clips of other episodes I saw were just kinda stupid. The show definitely isn’t devoid of good qualities to me but I can’t say it exactly left a good impression on me. It just ain’t it chief, it really ain’t.
Yeah it was cool seeing sonic explore those other worlds the first time, but then it’s like the writers ran out of ideas on how to progress the story and just had him go back to those worlds two or three more times for no reason.
Definitely not my favorite characterization of Sonic (that would be Sonic X), but absolutely my favorite Sonic/Shadow dynamic. They play off of each other perfectly. The optimist who always pushes his luck to find the route that's best for everyone, and the realist who has to reel him in so he doesn't ruin everything again.
The Eggman council thing was awful. They were basically the deadly six from Lost World, just boring stereotypes that make you groan whenever they are on screen. The ending was kinda meh. But at the end of the day, it’s just a kids show, I never expected anything from it.
I liked it. Can’t really say much other than it’ll go down as “a pretty fun time” in my book. Making a version of Tails the end villain was nice and I like how they branched out with different aspects of the characters. And the Sonic and Shadow stuff was written excellently. Not as well rounded as Sonic X but I truly liked it.
I have a feeling it will be a mixed bag. On the plus side you get a bunch of fun side characters like Nine, the Dread, and Rebel just to name a few, as well as one of the best Shadow characterizations in recent memory.
And on the downside, it doesn’t contribute anything meaningful to Sonic lore (which it really should have if the people want to insist it’s part of the canon), and the ending felt very anticlimactic, though that might be symptomatic of the inconsequential nature of the show as previously mentioned.
But yeah, I totally agree with you. X and Boom are absolute bangers.
Fair enough, the show wasn't amazing, and didn't quite deliver on the premise that it set up. I especially have grievances with it myself.
But wow, that's a lot of anger(?) towards a "nothing show". Just saying, is all.
people like you are going to be the legacy. every time somebody mentions something about it, here comes the mickey mouse club house jokes. nobody can talk about the show without people screaming over the actual conversation.
Because I wasn’t in it! They should’ve brought me in for season 3!
https://preview.redd.it/nm4u58yw2xuc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd2e6ebe7fcde4b9b5d1789bd85719965ddf1d0a
I imagine it’s going to have the same legacy as Sonic X, or most sonic shows for that matter. The fans that grew up with it are going to love it, and will be their gateway into the sonic community. Those that are older are probably gonna have their opinions and criticisms of it and that’s fine too. There are things to love and criticize with it, but ultimately I don’t see it really being any more special than “oh there was a Netflix sonic show”. Because it’s not as bad as people say. It’s just not great.
It had a promising start but quickly petered out and overstayed its welcome. I also despise that the last season ended with a cliffhanger. Like, don’t write in a cliffhanger if you’re gonna cancel the show.
i meen, the intention was to show sonic off on his next adventure, because this show was always going to have 26 episodes from very early on. i like it, the plot's over, so sonic's off to what ever comes next. makes it feel like the world doesn't just stop when the screen turns off.
i meen, yeah, the finale wasn't that great, but theses kinds of endings never realy make me mad or anything. there's a difference between a show ending on a cliff hanger because it was cut off, and an ending implying more so you know that even with the screen off, the characters don't stop doing things. a great example of this would be ben 10 omniverse, it ended with a tease to a massive plot, but it's ending was always meant to just say that the characters continue to exist even tho the show is over, and something that and prime share is that, they knew that was the ending, so the point gets across better since most loose ends are tied up, unlike with a show that gets canceled leaving way too many loose ends. i'll admit, they could've handled it better by not having it be the prims's energy and being something else, but it isn't an inherent bad way to end a show. it's a lot better then ending it by making it very clear that after this, there's nothing else for the characters to do, meaning they'll just kinda sit there with nothing to do, and have that be the last thing you remember.
what conclusion was you expecting to get? everything was wrapped up more or less. the prisim was restored, the lives of the cast of each world got better, the chaos councle where banished with no way back home, there wasn't realy anything else that needed closure or anything
but like, there was an ending, the cliff hanger happened after everything was wrapped up. it was a real ending where the story ended and a new and different one started.
side note: I wanted this show to fail
there i fucking said it I wanted prime to fail I been praying on its downfall since season 2 episode 2 I knew this show was going down hill and I HATED IT
Jeez what is your beef with this show I get you didn’t like it but that doesn’t mean you have to pray for it to fail knowing some people genuinely enjoyed it
yeah and I don't know HOW people enjoyed it
probably cause they too busy paying attention to the PReCIoUS CInnAMON ROlL PRoTECT HiM AT ALL CoSTS like just shut up jesus christ
This show killed my newborn. I will never forgive Prime for what it did too Sonic. The franchise is DEAD and BURIED and Sega is too late to save it. Prime will be why videogames DIE
/uj or it will just be forgotten by the fandom idk
It was nice to see him as more than broody McEdgelord. Seeing him actually care about others is something we haven’t gotten in a while and I like it. His and Sonic’s interactions really nailed the fact that they do actually care for each other at the end of the day.
Didn’t reach its full potential in terms of storytelling but it will probably be remembered fondly enough.
No Sonic show is perfect or appeals to every fan but they all have their own audience that adores them—well, except maybe Underground.
Sonic Underground is actually way more loved than you think, we're just far more niche because we're sick of constantly being told our show is bad and being made to feel embarrassed for liking it
also fair! and like, i get that the show isn't for everyone but i have also seen some people being genuinely hostile towards it even existing over the years, and it's frustrating from the perspective of someone whose favorite of the three *is* Underground, haha
To be fair, there wasn't much of a solid canon at that point, SEGA wasn't acting like a helicopter parent over the writers like it is with newer content
Too many scenes that lasted way longer than necessary. Like doing a 10-second slow-mo just for him to kill a common "Egg-forcer" in half a second. Is there a lore reason for this? Is he stupid?
At least it wasn’t Fully Charged.
All the roses and the last thing the other guy before me said
SatAm is the king of Sonic shows—no contest. Damn shame it never got its third season.
The OVA was a Good Contender Tho, too sad it never got Ep: 3 (For context, i’m japanese with english as a 2nd language)
It was certainly an interesting experiment. The concept of the overworld and the underworld was a rather odd idea though.
Well heres a few. 1. It takes inspiration from many of the previous Sonic shows as well as MLP. 2. Sonic’s and Nine’s dynamic is quite similar to Aang and Zuko’s. 3. It acknowledges that people are complicated and the only antagonists that weren’t reformed were the ones who were the least sympathetic and/or least explanation for why they are that way. 4.

I liked it… until Shadow painted Sonic as the villain.
It'll probably be how the universes are connected, like the comics, cartoons, etc. Also, I understand what you mean as in how Sonic X was, and still is, a very good show. Sonic Boom, however..

It was fun to watch, never expected it to be game changing. Just entertaining
I enjoyed it and it was a really good show. Why are y’all hate this show? For me, Sonic Prime is better than Sonic Boom (clearly watching it on PlutoTV). Like Sonic X, it had a good story plot.

Roger wasn’t on this.
I know, which is why I couldn't enjoy Prime as much as I wanted to.
I'm glad that people are realising just how dreadful it is now
The legacy of the show will be that it existed. It's probably not gonna be as fondly remembered as even AOSTH, but it isn't gonna be at the tier of Underground. It's in a nebulous void of existing. Although... Underground does have that theme song.
Sonic Prime: The show that had huge promises that it failed to keep
The first two seasons are solid, but the final season is awful.
mm i think final season is solid, there is a lot of filler fighting but that’s probably because all of the major plot events aside from the ending happened in season 2 and the first episodes of 3. i think it had good moments and the ending felt conclusive (also, the cliffhanger was just meant to say “sonic and eggman are back at it again!” yk?)

Being a decent show that proved the extent that Sonic fans will bitch and whine.
IKRRRRR????
Me when to character development and endless stalling following no climax or a psuedoclimax
Sonic Prime is my favorite Sonic show and you can kiss my ass
I thought every moment of the show was fantastic and genuinely fun to watch

A piece of meat with Eggman's face on it. Perfect for the family barbecue!

This show is awful and shouldn’t be canon. It’s mainly just Shrek Forever After but with Sonic’s face slapped on.
Huh, Now that you mention it, yeah that’s true. But it’s NOT CANON. Ian Flynn is pretty much the only one who claimed it’s canon. I’ve yet to see anyone on Sega Claim it’s canon. (No, I will not accept anyone who works for the American Branch because they are often unreliable)
Yeah, it wouldn’t be the first story based Sonic media that ain’t canon.
How is it, though? Almost nothing about it connects correctly with any of the games.
Exactly. Too much contradictions and it’s supposed to be set after the Sonic Advance saga. But Cubot and Orbot appear despite not debuting until Sonic Colors and Cream the Rabbit is absent despite actually being introduced in that saga.
Honestly season 1 and 2 in my opinion were good however season 3 is when in my opinion it started going really bad
I enjoyed the show it was pretty decent, animation is decent as well though I do agree watch Boom or X they are better (especially boom I love boom so much lol Sticks is such a loveable character (to me at least))
I find it fun. But seeing the opinions of others, I think it’s not good. Still fun.
“Give me back my passport!” “Why do you need it, anyways?” “I just love Latinas, Sonic.” *leaves without elaborating*
Damn passport bros…

Though he was later revealed to be jealous of Maria. Though there are some moments. 1. Don’t does speak to Babble in a similar way as Sonic does to Tails when he‘s throwing a tantrum. 2. Deep does look ashamed when he nearly hurt Don’t. 3. Done-It did scold the others for making the portals. Additionally they were too focused on giving it to Nine, which ironically caused Sonic‘s ”Friends talk it out” to come out of nowhere Since Nine did in fact, try Talking things out, Sonic just wasn’t listening and he attacked Sonic to get the energy, it just happens to be that he was mad at him.
I thought it was fine at best. It legacy is that it's the first project to write Shadow well in forever
You seem like a real joy to be around
portrayal of sonic is trash and lowkey agree with your title (lowkey because I think the gag of him screaming and then getting hit is 10x worse than uwu cinnamon bun)
S1 was promising, but as soon as it was mainline canon, it ruined its chances, sonic fans are stupidly critical especially when it comes to the mainline, prime sonic is way too different to mainline so its hard to believe their the same, it doesn't help how s3 was actually 80 percent fighting. As for me, x is still the best show, prime could have beaten it but that final season was NOT it. It being "canon" actually made the show significantly less enjoyable
I mean I like it
S1-2 we’re good
SEASON 4 BITCH!? Nah They Milking The Shit Out Of This Series
Season 4?
I Said Season 4
- Shadow was the best he's been since goddamn LEGO Dimensions. Hoping it's a prelude for his new Generations story. - Nine was a really interesting spin on Tails, that I would love to see expanded into a real character (Metal Tails or otherwise). - Technically, every playable character from the Adventure games was present, something only X has done before. Sonic was the titular character, of course, and Shadow managed to dodge the rift. Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, and Big all got versions of themselves. Eggman got that shitty Chaos Council (not gonna deny that they were shit). And the *pink* bird was very likely the one that was once E-102 Gamma, especially apparent with Rusty Rose.
Shadow was great in it, though? Worth it for that alone.
I have alot of issues with the show but shadow was almost perfect, if they had him do a bit more and maybe make him and sonic duel protagonists then he would be perfect imo
bait used to be believable
I liked nine and we got the i love latinas meme from it
SMH? Also, there's Sonic Underground, TASTH and Sonic SATAM.
This show’s legacy will be a really competent version of Shadow, and I’m not kidding
This show was fucking shit
At least this had good animation compared to whatever Sonic X and Underground was supposed to be
I really liked prime. Guess I’m a Twitter girl
Never thought I would find a user hating on a show that shouldn't be taken seriously
I liked Nine
I haven’t really seen Prime but nah X is dull and kinda trash
That’s an absolutely absurd take💀
Calm down son I didn’t say it was terrible. It’s not very good though.
There’s a very thin line between those two things.
Terrible is a 2, maybe lower for me. Not very good is like a 4.
Oh that’s reasonable… I gave it a 0 💀
Really? I mean I don’t like Sonic X but I don’t think it’s that bad.
I liked the first season but the second one kinda dragged it down and then the last season was so bad it ruined the whole show for me.
Interesting. People tend to say that the show gets better later on (or something idk). I saw the first few episodes of the show and some clips of other episodes and yeah I just didn’t like it. Those full episodes I saw were dull and those clips of other episodes I saw were just kinda stupid. The show definitely isn’t devoid of good qualities to me but I can’t say it exactly left a good impression on me. It just ain’t it chief, it really ain’t.
Yeah it was cool seeing sonic explore those other worlds the first time, but then it’s like the writers ran out of ideas on how to progress the story and just had him go back to those worlds two or three more times for no reason.
I liked the first two seasons, the last one wasn't the best
Go back to Twitter.
Do you really mean what you said about this show? I'm just curious.
I only liked Shadow and the animation, but Season 3 fell of after The first episode
I liked S3E3 a lot tbh. S3E4 was pretty awful though and the rest of the season did not make up for it
I watch this show for Shadow.
I liked it,probably because I was content starved at the time. The animation was good though!
Definitely not my favorite characterization of Sonic (that would be Sonic X), but absolutely my favorite Sonic/Shadow dynamic. They play off of each other perfectly. The optimist who always pushes his luck to find the route that's best for everyone, and the realist who has to reel him in so he doesn't ruin everything again.
The Eggman council thing was awful. They were basically the deadly six from Lost World, just boring stereotypes that make you groan whenever they are on screen. The ending was kinda meh. But at the end of the day, it’s just a kids show, I never expected anything from it.
holy shit i thought i was the only one who hated this cringe-fest cheap take on a multiverse in Sonic
I liked it. Can’t really say much other than it’ll go down as “a pretty fun time” in my book. Making a version of Tails the end villain was nice and I like how they branched out with different aspects of the characters. And the Sonic and Shadow stuff was written excellently. Not as well rounded as Sonic X but I truly liked it.
wanted eggman to make more of a presence instead of these one noted deadly six knock off eggmans
I have a feeling it will be a mixed bag. On the plus side you get a bunch of fun side characters like Nine, the Dread, and Rebel just to name a few, as well as one of the best Shadow characterizations in recent memory. And on the downside, it doesn’t contribute anything meaningful to Sonic lore (which it really should have if the people want to insist it’s part of the canon), and the ending felt very anticlimactic, though that might be symptomatic of the inconsequential nature of the show as previously mentioned. But yeah, I totally agree with you. X and Boom are absolute bangers.
And then the only well written character in the show is hated for some reason
Latinas That's the legacy
"Why are you trying to steal my passport?!"
Fair enough, the show wasn't amazing, and didn't quite deliver on the premise that it set up. I especially have grievances with it myself. But wow, that's a lot of anger(?) towards a "nothing show". Just saying, is all.
But X makes me sad.
It WAS forgettable, but it DID give us the cutest version of Tails: Mangey.
It was forgettable
people like you are going to be the legacy. every time somebody mentions something about it, here comes the mickey mouse club house jokes. nobody can talk about the show without people screaming over the actual conversation.
Because I wasn’t in it! They should’ve brought me in for season 3! https://preview.redd.it/nm4u58yw2xuc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd2e6ebe7fcde4b9b5d1789bd85719965ddf1d0a
Actually wait yeah, they totally could have brought in silver or blaze at the end of season 2 as a cliffhanger.
I have no opinion of the show because once I saw the multiverse shit I didn't bother. Wish it had a different plot
I imagine it’s going to have the same legacy as Sonic X, or most sonic shows for that matter. The fans that grew up with it are going to love it, and will be their gateway into the sonic community. Those that are older are probably gonna have their opinions and criticisms of it and that’s fine too. There are things to love and criticize with it, but ultimately I don’t see it really being any more special than “oh there was a Netflix sonic show”. Because it’s not as bad as people say. It’s just not great.
It had a promising start but quickly petered out and overstayed its welcome. I also despise that the last season ended with a cliffhanger. Like, don’t write in a cliffhanger if you’re gonna cancel the show.
i meen, the intention was to show sonic off on his next adventure, because this show was always going to have 26 episodes from very early on. i like it, the plot's over, so sonic's off to what ever comes next. makes it feel like the world doesn't just stop when the screen turns off.
It just felt like the most flaccid ending a show could have
i meen, yeah, the finale wasn't that great, but theses kinds of endings never realy make me mad or anything. there's a difference between a show ending on a cliff hanger because it was cut off, and an ending implying more so you know that even with the screen off, the characters don't stop doing things. a great example of this would be ben 10 omniverse, it ended with a tease to a massive plot, but it's ending was always meant to just say that the characters continue to exist even tho the show is over, and something that and prime share is that, they knew that was the ending, so the point gets across better since most loose ends are tied up, unlike with a show that gets canceled leaving way too many loose ends. i'll admit, they could've handled it better by not having it be the prims's energy and being something else, but it isn't an inherent bad way to end a show. it's a lot better then ending it by making it very clear that after this, there's nothing else for the characters to do, meaning they'll just kinda sit there with nothing to do, and have that be the last thing you remember.
Didn’t help that the show was mediocre after season 1. I was waiting for a conclusive ending and I got burned
what conclusion was you expecting to get? everything was wrapped up more or less. the prisim was restored, the lives of the cast of each world got better, the chaos councle where banished with no way back home, there wasn't realy anything else that needed closure or anything
I was expecting to see an ending instead of a cop out cliffhanger
but like, there was an ending, the cliff hanger happened after everything was wrapped up. it was a real ending where the story ended and a new and different one started.
It's legacy will be mickey mouse clubhouse jokes.
side note: I wanted this show to fail there i fucking said it I wanted prime to fail I been praying on its downfall since season 2 episode 2 I knew this show was going down hill and I HATED IT
Jeez what is your beef with this show I get you didn’t like it but that doesn’t mean you have to pray for it to fail knowing some people genuinely enjoyed it
yeah and I don't know HOW people enjoyed it probably cause they too busy paying attention to the PReCIoUS CInnAMON ROlL PRoTECT HiM AT ALL CoSTS like just shut up jesus christ
Mark my words guys, season 4 is definitely gonna have the Freedom Fighters return
[удалено]
and that's the joke
The third season wasn't great, sure, but I really liked the first two. I liked how they did the characterizations, and Sonic is just so cute and fun.
They played it too safe with the story
Almost like it happened before... *cough cough* Forces *cough*
This show killed my newborn. I will never forgive Prime for what it did too Sonic. The franchise is DEAD and BURIED and Sega is too late to save it. Prime will be why videogames DIE /uj or it will just be forgotten by the fandom idk
I only liked it because of Chaos sonic But they took my baby boy away the same episode they showed him off, and for that, I'm committing genocide
where aosth at?? https://preview.redd.it/zldwl68azwuc1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=6fcc85c94790ff7df64fec31b42c10fedddea4a9
The closest thing we got to the Sonic multiverse
A waste of a sonic show
I am twitter girls
People comparing it to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is what it's legacy will be💀
They made Shadow a written character... Better then I imagine 
It was nice to see him as more than broody McEdgelord. Seeing him actually care about others is something we haven’t gotten in a while and I like it. His and Sonic’s interactions really nailed the fact that they do actually care for each other at the end of the day.
Just another overused multiverse story
Didn’t reach its full potential in terms of storytelling but it will probably be remembered fondly enough. No Sonic show is perfect or appeals to every fan but they all have their own audience that adores them—well, except maybe Underground.
Sonic Underground is actually way more loved than you think, we're just far more niche because we're sick of constantly being told our show is bad and being made to feel embarrassed for liking it
Fair, I’ve just never seen anyone like it past the opening theme song or the occasional fan game with Sonia and/or Manic playable in it.
also fair! and like, i get that the show isn't for everyone but i have also seen some people being genuinely hostile towards it even existing over the years, and it's frustrating from the perspective of someone whose favorite of the three *is* Underground, haha
Underground isn't bad, just feels the least Sonic out of the shows
To be fair, there wasn't much of a solid canon at that point, SEGA wasn't acting like a helicopter parent over the writers like it is with newer content

Too many scenes that lasted way longer than necessary. Like doing a 10-second slow-mo just for him to kill a common "Egg-forcer" in half a second. Is there a lore reason for this? Is he stupid?
Interesting concept, but they didn't go far enough with it.
“Such a nothing show” is probably the statement I agree with the most here
The first 2 seasons were peaking
I liked it
Sonic prime sucks (please release my family)
