Man, youβve gotta love the near-lawsuit-but-not-really level of inspiration for that arm cannonβs design.Β Β Β

Man, I wish SEGA kept this in past games. Oh well. Nice work.

You DO understand he would have demolished EVERYONE out there with that thing, do you?

Omg, old comment. To give you something to think about: If Chris fucking Thornturd can have a freaking gun, why can't Tails?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ummm... Good point.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. The thing is, Sonic X made Tails look like shit. Heck, even Cream showed more capacity to fight than Tails at one point.
Tails is stronger than he was in Sonic X. + he mostly relies on machines. So a gun like that would fit if they did it the right way.
And look, I'm sorry that I lost my patience with you so fast last time, ok?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not to worry. Besides, you got a point. And Tails is not the only one they underpowered in Sonic X. Shadow met the same fate. Episode 73 is one bright example.
π: 0 β©: 1
That is true but at the same time it was not. In that episode, he should have been able to kill Cosmo at many points. But he overpowered both Sonic and Knuckles in it. He did an almost onehit knockout on Sonic X.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I remember that he performed one hit K.O. on both Sonic and Knuckles and even blew up X-Cyclone in a single attack. But it makes this even more pointless. Did he really need the whole episode to chase down that girl and the two-tailed fox with his speed of sound and Chaos Control ability? Sonic X writers surely f***ed up here. If Shadow could cause that much havoc on Blue Typhoon, how could he fail to bring down pretty much the weakest character in the series? My head nearly exploded when I realized this.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, indeed. It was simply very poor writing. She basically survived at that point because "the plot says so".
Another question you might ask is, was it really that neccasary to have someone trying to kill her for being a spy?
π: 0 β©: 1
That point isn't really a problem for me. You can expect something like this from Shadow (especially if you remember that he lost someone close to him because of Metarex). The real question is, was it reallyΒ neccasary to make her a spy in the first place? It's not like she was giving Metarex ANY useful information they could use against Sonic's crew. The only time they used it was in episode 54 when they tried to prevent Blue Typhoon from taking off. What's the point of this plottwist?
π: 0 β©: 1
The only two thing I can think about is that 1) Perhaps thanks to Cosmo, the Metarex got the knowledge to where Sonic and friends stored the Chaos Emeralds and therfor could send that black weird thing into it and get them. 2) Perhaps thanks to Cosmo they knew every planet Egg they placed back in the planets and took them back after Sonic and friends left.
However, It was a very weak plottwist and feels like an excuse to add even more drama into the dark season.
Also.... Are you really from Belarus?
π: 0 β©: 1
1) Metarex didn't need a spy to find that Chaos Emerald. If the radars on Tails' and Eggman's ship could detect the Chaos Emeralds, what makes you think Metarex didn't have one?
2) This one doesn't work for me either. Dark Oak could just recieve messages from his agents all over the galaxy if Sonic defeated their forces on any planet. A spy isn't required here either.
I guess it IS a weak plottwist after all.
P.S.: Yes, I AM from Belarus. Is that a problem for you?
π: 0 β©: 1
1) Yes, but I was talking about where on the Blue typhoon the Chaos Emeralds was stored. A radar isn't that accurate. So, the Metarex basicily took note where exactly on the blue typhoon the Chaos Emerald were. And then took them when the time for Final Nova had come. It was a 1000 years old destiny after all.
2) Yes, you're right. Can't argue with this.
It is and honestly, her being a spy would have worked better if she actually was a WILLING spy. What if she became evil before meeting Sonic and friends due to torture by Dark Oak and then spied on Sonic and friends. Used Tails' feelings for her to manipulate him into doing stuff for her and the Metarex evil shemes. Then later on, got redeemed by Tails into doing the right thing and died?
Not a problem with you being from Belarus at all. I was just taken by suprise xD Never seen someone from Belarus on this site before. I was also suprised that your country actually is called Belarus on English. In my language, your country is called "VitRyssland" which litteraly translates into "WhiteRussia".
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't expect to end up on a site like this either. I guess it happens.
But back to the topic:
1) In the episode where Shadow awoke from his another slumber (don't remember which episode, it's been a while since I watch Sonic X) Sonic was using his communicator's radar to locate the Emerald inside that castle and he could clearly see that the Emerald was actually moving. I bet Metarex could have radars with that much accuracy, otherwise they wouldn't have been that successful in retrieving the Chaos Emeralds throughout the season.
2) I don't think that plottwist would have worked either. I don't think she could withstand any tortue, especially by the hands of an asshole like Dark Oak. And she would have been exposed at once, considering her bad luck and, at some degree, incapability to do anything like this. After all, Knuckles DID treat her like a hostile from the start.
And one thing. We were talking about Tails and Shadow being underpowered, but we forgot that they did the same thing to Sonic as well.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah
1) Yes of course. But I don't think they would have a rader so good that it would tell EXACTLY where in the blue typhoon they were stored from far away.
2) Give Dark Oak some years and you would see a completly diffrerent Cosmo. I think it could work with good writing. She could also be a "Metarex King/queen" called White Seed and having her own powersuit.
Yes and that's where the problem rots. Sonic was underpowered due to limited action due to low budget. So they had to underpower the other characters A LOT to make Sonic look good.
π: 0 β©: 1
1) I can agree on that one, but yet again if Sonic had such a radar, why couldn't they have one? After all, Metarex's technology was shown to surpass pretty much anything.
2) Years? Did he really have those years? I don't think so. I don't know how much time passed between the destruction of Seedrian's colony and Dark Oak's fight versus Super Sonic, but it can't be that much, considering Metarex had limited time to initiate their plan. That girl would have remember being their captive for that long unless some brainwashing was involved (which is possible since she didn't remember being their captive at all). Everything you suggested for this point would have worked only if the season's plot was severely altered. (Though I always wondered how White Seed's battle armor would look like, so I wouldn't mind to see it all happening.)
And there's one issue I have with Sonic in both games and this anime. Just one! Why the hell do they never let him use Chaos Control?! Just why?!?!?! It could have turned the tables on SO much occasions!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
1) But Sonic's radar only worked that good because he was on in place, right?
2) You don't have to alter the plot that much to make what I said work. Both Dark Oak and Earthia (the tree of Earthia at least) was over 1000 years old. We have no clue how much time could have passed between Cosmo's family got killed and her meeting Sonic and friends.
Who knows? Lazy/limited writing maybe? Or maybe Chaos Control along with the Chaos Emeralds in general is just overpower?
π: 0 β©: 1
1) I guess you're right then.
2) It couldn't be that much time between those events. After all, Dark Oak was so determined to get the Emeralds ASAP that he didn't wait for his "spy" to even arrive to Sonic's world and faced off against Super Sonic himself, which is almost 100% suicide (in Japanese version Dark Oak himself points out that he had slim chances in one-on-one fight). It was just his luck Sonic is stupid. I'm sure he wouldn't have even tried to battle someone that powerful if he had enough time to preapare someone like Cosmo for stealing the Emeralds for Metarex.
π: 0 β©: 1
1) Alright then.
2) I guess you're right then. So then, we basicily have to alter the plot slightly. Or maybe just letting Cosmo be with not being a spy at all.
π: 0 β©: 1
Good point. It would be kinda weird if they had made her more evil than both Shadow and Eggman combined.
Talking about plotholes... Did you ever wonder how Metarex knew about Sonic in the first place? I could understand that they knew about Chaos Emeralds and their location (just like Black Arms in ShTH), but how the hell could they know about the blue hedgehog BEFORE meeting him? Just... Just how? Maybe you can explain this to me. After all, it seems you can see through the plot better than me.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think an evil Cosmo would be interested. She has in some cases in the serie shown that she can be pretty manipulative against each other when she really wants something.
That is really weird... Perhaps they have just watched "Sonic's world" from up above and then got information on Sonic while looking for information of the Chaos Emeralds? I guess Sonic is pretty famous on his planet. However, It would be nice to actually get any information on how they know Sonic in the actual serie....
Another plot hole by the way, where the heck did Sonic get "intergalactical guide"? He was reading about the first planet "planet hydo" in a turist guide you see lol.
π: 0 β©: 1
"Intergalactical guide" was most likely put there for a joke. (like that not-working translator in Colors). Though it could be that that planet wasn't the first one they visited or they could have met someone in outer space, who gave it to them (after all, there were lots of things that happened off-screen). That plothole is insignifficant to me. The purpose of creating the Eclipse Cannon (season 2) is bothering me much more.
And about looking up info on Sonic... That would work since Sonic somehow noticed their presense, but they were not the only ones to know about him before the actual meeting. Unless...
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah, that's true. As for the Eclipse Cannon thing. The plot in Sonic X fucked up the SA2 story since they didn't adapt the SA2 story in a good way anyway.
Yeah. What do you mean with "the only one" in this case?
π: 0 β©: 1
Don't you remember why Cosmo crashlanded on their planet in the first place? She was also searching for Sonic!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thought you meant Cosmo. Yes, but she obviously got that information from Dark Oak/Metarex.
π: 0 β©: 1
So I guess he DID screw up her memory a bit. Damn, Dark Oak is one of the greatest villians in Sonic franchise to me, but sometimes he's just stupid.
π: 0 β©: 1
He must have. Yes, the Metarex is one of my favourite villains in the Sonic franchise.
π: 0 β©: 1
But they messed up their own plan, if you think about it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sort of. He had to wait 1000 years for the exakt right moment for his Final Nova/Plantation. So I guess they wasn't in that much of a hurry when it comes to that. However, he should have tried to do more killing Sonic and Shadow before that moment.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think he didn't bother with Shadow since he didn't even know much about him. And he had no means of tracking him down (they only had a spy on one ship). As for Sonic... He just coudn't get him.
Talking about Shadow in the 3rd season... Another plothole. And not just one.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess that's true.
He shouldn't have been in the third season! I hate how they brought him back from dead, despite knowing how much that can screw up things.... And failing MISERABLY with it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Not to mention they killed him AGAIN!!! What the hell? One dead character wasn't enough for them?!
Speaking of which... Can you explain me what exactly happened when Shadow used Chaos Control in episode 78? I could never figure that out myself.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not really killed. In the japanese version of episode 78, you could see a Shadow of him at Molly's grave at the end.
Well, he did freeze time... Perhaps that gave everyone else enough time to get away?
π: 0 β©: 1
Get away? They couldn't do that anyway. They used all the energy of both ships to charge up Sonic Driver for the final shot. It would require too much time to reactivate the engines and the maximum duration of Chaos Control was shown to be 90 seconds. Even if you add Super Form and Inhibitor Rings removed, then how could ShadowΒ himselfΒ get away if he used up all his power? And why do that in the first place?
π: 0 β©: 1
I honestly don't know what he did. What I do know is that he saved everyones life and got away.
π: 0 β©: 1
But no one knew he got away (maybe except Eggman). What was the point of making the others think he's dead? A cliffhanger? I don't know...
You know what, I wish SEGA could adapt the 3rd season for their another game. Too bad they won't be able to cover all the plotholes without screwing it up. If only they could make the games the way they did in Dreamcast era... Then we could hope to get Sonic Adventure 3 based on Metarex saga. Wouldn't that be awesome?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know. Even more angst on Sonic since what happend to Shadow, Chris and Cosmo all has to do with him.
Many has said that. However, I don't think the Metarex Saga would work in a game if not totally alter the story at some points.
π: 0 β©: 1
I didn't say they shouldn't alter it. After all, even Shadow's story alone would be a problem. But it would be better than some of SEGA's latest Sonic games anyway.
π: 0 β©: 1
I totally agree with that. However, Sonic Boom looks like it will turn out great.
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope so. But SEGA is wasting one great opportunity with Sonic X game adaptation. I mean, if adapting games into an anime series worked, then why shouldn't it work with adapting the same series into a game? They could try to fix some plotholes we discussed. Too bad I can't fully trust SEGA anymore.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess you are right. However, I would rather see a Sonic X reboot where they fix all the serious problems the anime had. Making it like 200 - 300 episodes or so this time.
π: 0 β©: 1
I would like to see both the game and Sonic X reboot. (Yeah, I know I'm asking for too much, but can't a person have some dreams?) I would actually like to see some new turns in character development (for example, I'm sure they wouldn't leave Tails the way he was before). And I would be okay if they used the plots of other games in the reboot like they did with season 2. I think Sonic Rush story would make a perfect continuation. Or even something based on Sonic Riders (if they used a hoverboard at one point, then why the hell not?)...
Man, there are SO much possibilities, yet no one can seems to that...
