I'm honestly so confused by (presumably) adults who consider Sonic as their favorite media franchise... Just... What?
Have you, like, tried reading books or watching movies since you've become an adult, or...?
I don't want to sound judgmental, but I kind of feel bad for people like this. If you enjoy it, you enjoy it, I guess... But you're missing out on like actual good shit lol
Prole, why do you always have so many hot takes?
People who grew up with the games have a certain fondness for the series that even better written franchises cannot replicate.
What's wrong with people deciding the franchise that made them happy in their childhood should continue making them happy in their adulthood? None of this suggests they haven't tried or enjoyed better written stories.
Heaven forbid an adult should enjoy video games. It's also possible to have a favorite franchise and read books, including outside of that franchise.
