My retrospective hypercriticisms of Sonic boom condensed

My retrospective hypercriticisms of Sonic boom condensed

This is purely for the show, not for the video games. It's also my understanding that Sonic boom rise of lyric listen Superior game but hardly anybody talked about it because sonic boom for the Wii was so bad it became a meme.

I tried to fuck with Sonic boom. I watch season 1, I think season 2, and I read the first issue of the comic.

I don't have as much access to comics, so I left it at that, but when I realized the show was all going to be fourth wall breaking self-deprecating humor, and it was us older fans that were the butt of the jokes, I dropped out.

It was a sitcom/ actcom geared towards people 8 to 15, but the fourth wall breaking humor that they leaned on for the show was geared towards older fans. People who were there for Sonic 06, people who were there when Sonic sat am and Sonic underground ended on cliffhangers. People who were there when Archie got discontinued and Fleetway got canceled. We were getting trolled in a show not even geared towards us.

Sonic boom with a slap in the face to a fandom that has already endured a lot of hardship. The humor was aimed at us in a very deprecating tone. "Those weird pictures of me on the internet", "if I had a comic, I would never let it end on a cliffhanger", etc. Dawg, all of that was so uncalled for and completely disrespectful. "We're just going to make fun of you right to your face to your kids." I will say, the show geared towards children with references to an older fan base very much lacks an identity. Either make a kids show or make an adults show.

Shadow got treated like shit. Just showing up to be an edgelord and kick Sonic in the face was not a good character model. Why was metal Sonic in the Wii game, but not in the show?

The whole will they won't they between Amy and Sonic when we know they won't. They could have easily given Amy and or Sonic a partner. Since Sonic has had partners in the past, Amy boom definitely should have had a partner. What really grinded my gears was when they had an episode about Tails having a crush on someone but it ended up being mostly focused on Sonic and Amy's will they won't they. That was actually very gross!

This is as condensed as I can make it. I don't care about the other stuff. I've already gone into detail about how I have huge issues with Sonic's portrayal. Also, the Sonic Boom section of the franchise had no music. That's the first time that's ever happened.

Sonic Boom was definitely the "hey sega, that you should make a new IP, instead of constantly fucking up Sonic." And they don't even have to make a new ip. Rayman. Night's in the dreams. The Little fucking sun guy with the arms! Why the fuck did they give Bayonetta to Nintendo? Astral chain! I will take Astral Chain 2 at this point! What was the new IP that Sonic 06 turned into? Do that!

Even with Sonic frontiers and Sonic prime doing well, we still need a different #Sega game. Let's leave Sonic alone for a little bit.

healthy choice Cafe steamers grilled chicken marinara with parmesan

I'll skip the packaging review, because you already know that part from the two previous blog post. My opinion about that hasn't changed. This is also another regular purchase for me. the overall packaging of the meal is great quality, but the parmesan amount can vary. Be aware that they skimp on the parmesan. The chicken is tender, and the noodles and broccoli have a slight firmness. It's all Greek to Me. The sauce in this one is on the weak side, in my opinion but still flavorful. something I'm noticing so far with a lot of these microwave dinners is that they're not full dinners because they focus on quality over quantity, but the quantity is was lacking. It's also the same price as the others: $2.99, on sale. Normally, $3.99 or $4.99. it won't get you full, but it can hold you over for an hour or two. I would say it's worth two or three, but not four.

I don't think miraculous was trying to be sailor moon but they have a lot in common

Here are some parallels between miraculous ladybug and Sailor Moon! Daft, clumsy teenager that believes that she's a loser when she's actually loved by everyone.  Unnecessary unhealthy and toxic relationship practices due to secret identities.  Talking animal partners. Queer coded characters! Although Sailor Moon was way more out loud about it! I don't know what France is doing. Characters lose their items and swap powers. We love power swaps, though! Love interest getting shot down and trying to deny their feeling, which makes everything worse. I will say that on Marinette's end, she never really got shot down. She just didn't know how to handle being a friend. Some of the characters can never fall in love, because of their duties. Miraculous wrote this in as a very self-imposed rule when they don't follow the boundaries that they set for the show in any other case. In Miraculous, relationships can work if people make better decisions. In Sailor Moon, the sailo...

Racism, Tim Burton, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

A lot of people have forgotten about this, but a years ago, Tim Burton said that he doesn't cast black people because race has nothing to do with the context of any of his movies.  I think this happened after Beetlejuice 1988. Black people were casted as football players in the afterlife. That makes sense. Most football players are black. We figured out decades later why that's problematic with the Kaepernick situation. Entertainment is all black people are allowed to have so when an entertainer has a political opinion it's easy to tell them to shut up. "Dance, monkey! Dance!" narrative. But with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice having that soul train scene after he said it, the context tells me that black people are allowed to exist in Tim Burton's aesthetic if they are not stereotypical singing dancing caricatures.  A lot of (white) people will argue that Tim Burton isn't racist because he casted a Latina to play Astrid. The problem with that is a lot of Mexicans...
