This comment sums it all up as to why Sonic is/was awesome.I also loved how Sonic’s a combination of Western Super Heroes, Speed, Micheal Jackson, Santa, and Bill Clinton.
I really don't understand the whole Bill Clinton thing, sonic was created 90/91....Clinton really did not hit international news until 1993, when he became president. So i really don't understand why he said he based sonic off of Clinton, unless off course he somehow watched a lot of Arkansas news over in Japan.Reverend wrote:This comment sums it all up as to why Sonic is/was awesome.I also loved how Sonic’s a combination of Western Super Heroes, Speed, Micheal Jackson, Santa, and Bill Clinton.
Yeah, but without those changes Sonic never would have caught on. Fangs? Come on.Jrecee wrote:I thought it was interesting how Sonic had a hot human girlfriend in a red dress like Roger Rabbit. I also thought the comment about how they "had to take sonic out of the band for the american audience" was weird. How is that in any way risque? In fact it seems like more of an american trait than japanese. Also, how exactly did they "soften" him as far as the character design went? His eyes were more agressive in the sonic 1 cover design than anything I've seen of him from Japan. I also thought it was interesting how they said the japanese style just wouldn't sell well here, and 5 years later kids are obsessed with anime stuff (pokemon) and american cartoons try to look japanese.
