Description If you liked this stamp, thank you very much, but I'd appreciate it greatly if you took some time to look through the rest of my gallery~! I make more than just stamps!































--------------------------------------------------

I know I'm probably gonna get floods of people telling me why they hate this little guy. I'll respect their opinions, by all means, but I won't get mad about it if they respect my opinion.

A lot of people hate Chris because (I think) they felt he was an unnecessary character for the Sonic X cast; they think he's a Gary Stu who takes the attention and focus away from the other characters like Tails, Amy, Rouge etc etc (key mention being the scene in the Biohazard episode, where Chris convinces Shadow to help Sonic fight the Biolizard and, later on in the same episode, Sonic gives Chris Shadow's bangle instead of giving it to Rouge).

Think about this for a sec; the "Shadow's debut" season and the one before that were adaptations of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast/Gamecube, and you surely can't expect those two seasons of Sonic X to follow the same story as the two games to the point, right? It's like movie adaptations of books; there are certain details that are in the book that don't make it into the movie or are changed entirely. Why fuss over those trivial details?

But I digress, I personally don't believe Chris deserves all of the hate he gets; he's just the son of an incredibly rich couple who are rarely at home, and is lonely (save for a small circle of friends from his school) as a consequence, having only his grandfather, butler and maid for company whenever he's not in school. He befriends Sonic and his friends and gives them a roof over their heads (save for Knuckles, though) while they're in Station Square.

There was something, though, I heard about that really ticked me off about Chris; someone made a comment on a video (playthrough of Sonic Adventure 2) where they said that Chris was to blame for King Boom Boo being released in Sonic X. This is NOT true; AMY was to blame. What really happened was Chris's mother, Tails and Sonic (I don't know if anyone else got caught as well) were all captured by King Boom Boo's ghosts (None of whom are a rip off of King Boo and the Boos in any way ), leaving Chris and Amy alone in the scary mansion where Lindsey, Chirs's mother, was shooting a movie. When Sonic tries to communicate with Chris and Amy, King Boom Boo talks to Amy as if he was Sonic instead, where he then convinces her to turn the weird hourglass thing moon side up, whereas Sonic was trying to tell her NOT to put it moon side up. After trying not to get hammered by a possessed Amy, Chris figures out that putting the hourglass sun side up would weaken the ghosts after the possessed Amy hesitates to attack Chris when he's in front of the hourglass. It's CHRIS that helps Sonic defeat the King Boo rip off.

Anyhow, this is just my opinion; if you hate Chris, that's fine by me, but I only ask that you respect my opinion.

Have a nice day.

Chris Thorndyke belongs to whoever started Sonic X.

You like Chris, that's cool. But you have to admit, he HAS been given too much screen time than he needed, that's not to say that I hate him (which I don't).

Well, I think it was for the reason that he can develop as a main character and not a minor character. Considering that Sonic hasn't really gotten close to a human companion.

Ella as well, huh? Β I don't remember that...eh.


And I don't call the season 3 finale a "kidnapping"; Sonic showed no objection to being prevented from returning home for a while. Β If he showed objection to it, THEN it would've been a kidnapping.

TiredEspurr In reply to Z0MGedELR1C [2013-11-24 14:57:18 +0000 UTC]

Technically, that's incorrect. Β Kidnapping is the act of taking and, consequently, holding a person against their will; Sonic showed no evidence to support that he was being removed "against his will".

He didn't care and just went along with it.


He himself said this in the final-final episode of season 3; "as long as I have space to run, I'll be happy".

A lot of people hate him because he's very clingy to sonic and an annoying crybaby, but i think he's okay

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 3

the-Gitz In reply to SplashyLove [2014-03-28 01:53:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, about the clingy part, there. Considering that Sonic is a talking, blue, three foot tall, hedgehog that runs at mach speed levels and that is capable of breaking the sound barrier, teleporting by using colorful time distorting rocks, and going Super Saiyan, who in their right mind wouldn't be pissing themselves over him? And his "clingyness" is no worse than Amy constantly pursuing Sonic and her getting physically aggressive at times(I don't see Chris ever physically harming Sonic in any way, even when he so-called kidnapped him). Chris at least has something that explains why he's "clingy" to Sonic; His parents constantly ditch him even when they don't have business related obligations, doesn't have any siblings, did not grow up accustomed to seeing three foot talking animals, and obviously has some kid of attachment issues because of it. But we're never given any background concerning Amy. So as far as she's concerned, her infatuation with Sonic is just some childish crush and is mostly there for the sake of comic relief.

As for him being a "crybaby"; No. No. No! All the times he's seen crying or tearing up is during situations where it's very appropriate to start doing so. Seeing Sonic get nearly killed and feeling like it was his own fault for it, and fearing that he'll be alone again once Sonic and the others leave and is frustrated about it and has no outlet for it, is hardly him being a "crybaby" or a "whiny brat"! He is reacting how anyone would in those situations, regardless of age! If anything, him reacting by crying is showing that he's being honest with his emotions, instead of keeping things pent up, which I wouldn't be surprised if he did just that before Sonic came around.

I can understand if people don't like how it was executed. But anyone actually, god forbid, breaking down because of the above mentioned, is not because they're a "crybaby" or because they're "whiny"! I wouldn't be surprised if the fans who complain about it are the same assholes who assume that all children who have emotional breakdowns are just unruly brats, or think that grown men or women shouldn't cry and "suck it up" because "there's people who have it worse than you".

I don't get why Chris gets hate. He isn't even that bad. He's actually one of the nicest characters in the anime next to Vanilla and Cream. I mean he rescued Sonic, as weird as he may have looked to him.

TiredEspurr In reply to Iumberjacks [2013-07-08 07:16:17 +0000 UTC]

I think it's mostly because of how Chris stole roles from other characters. Then again, as far as I remember, the Sonic fanbase is hard to please for the most part...

As much as I also dislike it when Chris is bombarded with hate, I respect their opinions.

But I think Chris is hated because of his role in Sonic X, and how he "leached" his roles from other characters. Then again, a large proportion of the Sonic fanbase is hard to please as far as I recall. Correct me if I'm wrong and I apologise if I've offended you

I agree, Chris gets too much hate than he deserves. Another reason he's hated upon is that fans think he's gay for Sonic. But I know Chris get's hooked up with Helen when he get's older.

I think if they made him less annoying, I wouldn't have minded him. I didn't mind that he was a human, or that he helped out sonic and his friends, but just...something about him. Probably the combination of his voice and whatever personality they attempted to give him, just annoyed me so badly. That's just me. Cause I also find Big almost as annoying as Chris; i don't know which of the two I could stand more.

In my opinion, how a character's personality is viewed is up for interpretation; it depends on the person viewing said personality, and not everyone is going to find a character annoying. If that makes sense...
