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.

Like I said to someone else, it's probably because of how he "leeched" roles from other characters in the Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 based seasons (like Chris finding a chaos emerald in the SA1 season and Chris convincing Shadow to help Sonic rather than Amy doing so in the SA2 season).

Eh, I think he's an okay guy, but everyone thinks differently, so we all like different things. Resulting in characters being both hated and loved

Yes, I believe in that strongly. Some people just think that their way is best so they refuse so accept anything else. Me, personally, I try to accept and respect everything. Some people think I'm stupid for it, but I still try.

TiredEspurr In reply to Ame-Baki [2013-06-11 17:18:34 +0000 UTC]

I believe the most common reason for why people hate Chris is because they feel he's an unnecessary character who "leeches" roles from other characters, particularly in the two seasons that are loosely based off of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle - especially the latter, when Chris convinces Shadow to help Sonic instead of Amy and when Sonic gives Chris Shadow's bracelet ring instead of giving it to Rouge.

I honestly agree with you; Chris hasn't done anything wrong and actually tries to help Sonic on more than one occasion. He even gives Sonic a ROOF OVER HIS HEAD for crying out loud.

I just hated him because he was a human character, if he were an animal, I'd be perfectly fine with him. I don't know, I think we're expected to hate Eggman, but whenever a human character is introduced into a franchise where everyone is an animal, and I'm supposed to like said human character, I'm probably going to end up hating them.

TiredEspurr In reply to RensMeerkat [2013-06-05 13:41:38 +0000 UTC]

In Sonic X's case, Sonic and the gang ended up in the human world, so I don't think Chris should be hated because he's a human in a show about Sonic...

I don't hate Chris, heck, I don't hate most Sonic characters.

and Chris helps more than Elise ever did, I did a journal about it; [link]

that basically explains everything about why I don't hate Chris, and why Chris is better than other human characters...Chuck, and Eggman only beat him by a few times; Chuck largely because of the last few episodes of season1, Eggman; he's the villain.

Considering Sonic X was dubbed by 4Kids, who also dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh, it's hardly surprising. Knuckles was also voiced by Dan Green, voice actor for Yugi.

He's okay:3

There were times when I hated him and thought he was a selfish brat.
But he had a lot of good side too.

I would'nt hate him all the time for the things he did because he's just a kid still growing up wanting to be with his parents because he was lonely. Plus one of his parents should of staid home with him if they were rich enough anyway lol

I don't hate Chris either and I don't really understand the hatred towards him, personally. I saw an anti-Chris art on this site depicting Sonic punching Chris saying that he "ruined his show". This shows that this deviant has no inkling on what Sonic's personality is like. Sonic is not the type of guy to do that. It is way out of his character to get upset because of a TV show and beat the living daylights out of someone. I doubt Sonic would even care about a TV show, as he is a laid back guy. The only way to get him mad enough to punch anyone is if that person really hurt one or more of his friends, the way I see it.

TiredEspurr In reply to Bluedramon [2013-01-15 17:49:05 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! And Chris was his friend in Sonic X, so it only lands itself to reason that Sonic wouldn't hurt Chris as well!

Bluedramon In reply to TiredEspurr [2013-01-15 21:27:20 +0000 UTC]

Especially apparent in that episode where Sonic got pissed off because Chris was hurt (and Cosmo scared) and went all Dark Super Sonic. If he really hated Chris he wouldn't do that. And let's not forget what Sonic did when he turned into Super Sonic for the first time. He healed Chris's injuries and hugged him. So for him to punch Chris is out of his character.
