![]() ![]() She'll say some of the most random things, like, "my breakfast cereal is trying to kill me" or "I know the real reason that TV was created was to be used to mind control people! *turns towards audience* I am not talking to you guys, so don't worry, just keep watching!" ![]() ![]() When ever an episode gets serious she's there to lighten the mood and keep it from getting to serious. She is just so random and is the only character who has admitted that she knows they are being watched, (although Sonic seems to know, but doesn't really care). She is possibly the Funniest sonic character of all time. Stick is one of the most random and unexpected characters to come out of the Sonic Universe. Another episode, which id not a stupid Knuckles episode, Just a Guy also really annoyed me because it shows the whole town is pretty much all jerks and they critise sonic so much they make him quit heroing, but that one was also pretty funny in places. Mayor Knuckles has Knuckles taking over as the Mayor while the Mayor takes some time off and he let's the power go to his head and even fights with Sonic a little, it just seems outta character even for a stupider knuckles. I mean I could picture Patrick trying to right some wrong and ultimately ruining someone's life. This doesn't feel like an episode of Sonic Boom, it has more of a Spongebob feel. Then Knuckles let's the villian basically bully and abuse him because he didn't mean to ruin his life. Counter Productive is an episode where Knuckles tries to right some of this past wrongs, and ultimately destroys a guys life and turns them into a villian. A decent watch for the most part, I just don't have any particularly passionate feelings about it.Like most TV series, this one has a few stupid episodes, that just bothers me. All in all, Sonic Boom is a fun cartoon that I respect for getting the notoriously unpleasable fanbase to agree on something before the infamous 2019 movie trailer had them agreeing on something - mainly that this show is surprisingly not terrible - but won't exactly be singing its praises to my peers anytime soon. Yes, the Tomatopotomus joke is amusing and the consensus that this show is "Teen Titans Go! but actually good" is kind-of true (I've only seen a few episodes of TTG and the movie but I have good-enough knowledge of its reputation) but I'm not exactly holding it in as high regard as Golden Age SpongeBob. The show is funny, just not mind-blowingly funny. Sometimes, they do a better job here than they do in the games, though that's mostly due to the scripts they have to work with, coupled with my preference for the 2000's actors whose voices I felt fit the characters better. Sonic and friends (including new character Sticks who has yet to be brought to the game continuity anytime soon.like X's Cosmo, my guess is she never will) do a good job riffing off of each other and the voice actors do a good job. At least, that's what I figure ("OMG, that's the thing Sonic said in the Black Knight game"). The anime did a better job giving off a sense of momentum when it came to Sonic's speed and that show had the disadvantage of being given a smaller budget than most anime leading to more economical animation than what was common at the time. The characters look appealing and are expressive but budget limitations are holding this show back, especially when Sonic has to show off his super speed, where he looks more like he's jogging. The animation's okay given that it's a CGI TV show released in 2014. I'm not too big a fan of the character designs, especially Buff Knuckles, but they do look better than the Crash Bandicoot cast's redesigns in Crash of the Titans where the titular hero had an outdated mid-2000's appearance and only N. By no means a masterpiece of comedy and some of the jokes, mainly meta ones relating to his games, are ones you might have already heard on the Internet, hell, on Sonic's official Twitter page which has quite the sense of humour about these kinds of things, but fun. On its own merits, Sonic Boom is enjoyable. I've never played the infamous Rise of Lyric due to my defection from Nintendo to ultimately join the big boys over at PlayStation land but luckily, the TV show goes out of its way to distance itself from one of Sonic's biggest disasters since the 2006 game, which seems to have been all but declared non-canon to this universe. While I don't feel as strongly about this show as some other people might and, thanks to being a comedy-first show, is lacking in action, especially as somebody who binged most of the first two seasons of Sonic X back during a time when I was more obsessed with the Blue Blur, Sonic Boom is a decent cartoon.
