The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreSonic Boom is rated TV-Y7 - kids/youth aimed 7 and up. There are older fans that will "get" certain cutscenes, but that doesn't make it OK to include political things in the same show that those kids will be watching. If intentional, political views being pushed to children/youth is indoctrination - period.RE: "Eggman's Anti Gravity Ray" episode: From what I've seen, this episode's reception is a mix of: appearing in various cringe threads, fans being turned off at being told what to think/indoctrination attempt at kids, and irrelevant SJWs (many who admit to never watching to the show anyway) giving praise/triggered over Knuckles' "man-splaining" as if men should never be aloud to correct women. Was it the intention to have the "joke" of the main crew - Knuckles, the one that is inarguably the dumbest - say pro-feminist talking points? Or that the female often portrayed as delusional (esp. when it comes to Sonic) believe that females could ever have a chance at outperforming males in sports? That's about the only way the infamous cutscene would make sense, seeing how the biology of males and females are clearly different. This is seen in athletic events, where men (even teen boys) outrank women, and why Olympics and other sports events have sex- segregated teams. It's a fact of life that we all need to accept. Men and women are different, and can never be equal (only that which is the same can be truly equal), and that's okay. This doesn't make men or women inferior as humans. Thinking men and women are equally capable at tasks requiring physical strength is something an actual "meathead" would think. As if only those less intelligent would not call themselves feminist, when more and more people are seeing it for what it is: a movement founded from Cultural Marxism that is all about female supremacy. Kids and people in general resent being told that you're something negative if you don't agree with them on politics. Keep Cultural Marxism and all feminism (all waves of it are toxic) OUT of kids cartoons!Politics belongs nowhere in children's cartoons, much less Sonic the Hedgehog, and there was even a moment where someone said it would be nice if people kept politics to themselves on their social media (iirc). So this episode contradicts an earlier episode in the show. What is it with making the most macho team member be a "dumb jock" stereotype, which is somehow not deemed problematic? Cliché. Having Knuckles proclaim himself a feminist as a deliberate insertion of cultural Marxism (the cultural/social infiltration of Karl Marx's Communist world view), is a mismatch for the Sonic series. The cutscene in this episode would fit more in Steven Universe, and maybe the writer(s) who inserted this feminist narrative should go work for that series instead, as it would be better put to use. Amy has never been radical left, or radical anything, only radically in love with Sonic. Cultural Marxism says it values things like equality when in reality/practice, it's the opposite, and as we can see today, feminism has only resulted in deteriorated men-women relations, more divorce, more unhappiness and reliance upon anti-depressants, 51% of the population is now taxed in addition to the men, children entering gov-run daycares earlier for more indoctrination (Aaron Russo interview on YouTube if interested). RE: "Three Minutes or Less" The SonAmy scene where Amy invites Sonic to "have lunch" with him was too suggestive IMO. The music, the intonation of her voice, and the double meaning was inappropriate for young kids. There can be SonAmy moments that don't resort to smutty or suggestive themes.About Sticks: It can be funny to have a "paranoid" character, but at times it seems like she is only put there so that the audience will be conditioned to laugh at and ostracize anyone who questions "official" narratives as "crazy" etc. Critical thinking should be encouraged, not shamed or made to appear weird. Also don't like when the male characters get degraded to a non-threatening/joke status by making them more "cute" or stupid, incapable, etc. Eggman shouldn't be liking puppy boardgames aimed at little girls, and is such a far cry from the old days as Robotnik/Eggman. Sadly, this show has a strong undertone of feminism/SJW stench, although there are some exceptions such as the episode where Amy tries to enforce "sensitivity training" which is put in a bad light.It's sad to see the Sonic series do poorly like this, when it doesn't have to. Also, Tails needs to be voiced by a boy because Tails is male. Not that hard of a concept to understand. Overall, when making a children's cartoon show, it's best to keep your political opinions to yourselves, because people can see right through the attempt to push a certain view/shame others for not thinking the same way.

View MoreI don't know a lot about Sonic. I was a Nintendo kid when growing up so played Sonic a couple times at friends houses but that was it. I am aware of the lore that's grown around it and the concerns of people who've followed Sonic and friends throughout the games. When a company continues a franchise there's always a concern about whether they will be treating the characters and story with the reverence due to them. Sonic Boom tosses all of that out the window and it is all the better for it. The characters are reduced to their basic personalities which is bad if you've watched them grow but great when you intend to have them bounce off each other in stories. So Sonic is arrogant, Tails is brainy and good natured if a bit naive, Knuckles is a strong dimwit, Amy is conscientious, and Sticks is a paranoid anarchic lunatic. Dr. Eggman is a villain but more of a needy overblown weekly threat bully instead of an existential.These characters combine together to work through standard sitcom plots. It's not an adventure show and I feel that's why many reviewers are disappointed. Sonic Boom has answered the age-old question "So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?". One episode is about Tails in love with a girl with his friends in the giving advice on how to approach her while Dr. Eggman is in the background trying to pickup a courier package but continually missing the delivery. Another is about Dr. Eggman assembling a group of villains to attack Sonic and to train they go through a series of team building exercises while Sonic and friends try and fail to build a piece of off-brand IKEA furniture. The animation is bright, colourful, and expressive. It don't showcase amazing setpiece battles and there's never a huge amount of stuff happening on screen but I'm pretty sure that they're limited by their budget. It would be nice if they could hire an action director to help. I don't really care if sonic's arms are blue or not, if he looks off-model it's still good. (Take that Sonic fans!)Finally, there's the absolutely stellar writing. the plots are clichéd and hackneyed because you've seen them on every cartoon and sitcom before, the writing is aware of this and highlights tropes while continuing on with the story. It's a neat high-wire act, simultaneously charging ahead with a story while pointing out how ridiculous the situation is. There are jokes about the mundane aspects of everyday life. There are jokes with a specificity that kids shows normally don't bother with, it isn't enough that Dr. Eggman has an octopusbot that Sonic mistakes as a squidbot, Dr. Eggman points out the relative size of the head to the tentacles making it clear what animal it is. This decade is a time of truly great cartoons, Bojack Horseman, Rick & Morty, Archer, Adventure Time, Legend of Korra, and others. Sonic Boom skews younger with it's bright colours but the writing really does put it up there. The second season seems to pretty good as well with a parody of Misery so I would encourage you to check it out.
View MoreEver since it's reveal back in the past few years...I'm a bit excited for this show...but when it came out in 2014, it's equally as bad as it's games! Seriously, where's the action, adventure and comedy? Speaking of comedy...the humor in this show is almost as terrible as a 3-year-old kid can come up with. I immediately stopped watching this abomination after realizing that Tails has a girlfriend...she's gonna pay for dating my most favorite character of all time! Do yourselves a favor and do NOT watch this poorly-written spin off! Did I mention that Sticks is annoying as heck? It ruins the good name of Sonic the Hedgehog, not to mention it's plots are boring, too.
