[sonicclaasic]

Just got done watching Season 2 last night and I loved every minute of It especially a lot the fighting scene's as well I enjoyed watching too. The comedy moments In each section just made me laugh which I haven't laughed like that In a while since watching Sonic Boom.

Overall Season 2 was so joyful to watch I hope they do a Season 3 to conclude Sonic Prime and hopefully be on Blu Ray & DVD.

About the Season 3 thing, apparently, the Swedish voice actor for Sonic in the movies and Prime posted this.

Apparently, there will be a shipping event, too.

Same here I don't know why but I never been excited about a Sonic TV show like Sonic Prime for a while. I love the action the comedy and the humour of characters too.

This is rare for me, as I honestly don't get into this type of discussion. 'Cause it's kinda whatever for me, especially with how extreme some people get with such discussions. Which I DO NOT want to deal with.

But if anything, my money's on Sonic & Amy. Considering it's been teased or implied here & there, for as long as Amy's existed. Across different pieces of media. Boom, X, I think IDW, even Frontiers did it with monologues. Soo...yeah.

Now, if you excuse me. I'm gonna leave now, 'cause I probably just ticked off a bunch of people.

Just got done watching the last episode of season 2. The animations are still as delightful as ever to watch however a few choices in the show still irk me slightly and hoping things would adjust in the second season. While some things have, others haven't. I have to be up front with this before I unload my big stonking nitpick cannon: I really REALLY enjoy the characters and animation. They stand out from one another without feeling samey.

Also: Immafirinmahlazaaaahh!! shooooopdawhoooop!

So let's pro-con this bit. In spoilers of course for those who haven't watched season 2 yet.

Spoiler

Pro's

- Animation and dialogue still remains good and tuned into one another. This is harder than it looks because I don't know if the VA cast ever got to see the animations while they're voicing their lines. I can refer to the last interview with the Sonic Frontiers cast that sometimes they don't even get to see what kind of situation they are in, literally going in blind besides the direction given by the director.

- People from the other shatterspaces actively traveling to the other shatterrealms. They don't shy away from it, sure in season 1 Rusty Rose was the first to head into No Place and encountering Black Rose, but that caused a glitch in their behavior for a moment. Still they don't shy away from enjoying the thought of having them intermingle... even though the con to this is that they almost entirely skipped the glitch part and now they just gawk at each other in confusion. Dulling the impact of what two or three dimensions colliding has on the individual versions.

And that versions of each other don't have to be buddy buddy all the time (Rusty Rose & Black Rose VS Dread and Knucks). k

- Shadow might be the only character I just still don't get. Kinda like "not my shadow" type feeling. He's abrasive, which fine, but his grumpy attitude is more set to violence than usual and I had a real hard time watching season 1 where every scene he's smashing stuff, breaking things and if he isn't depicted in a scene where he wasn't throwing hands at Sonic it was a rarity. Season 2 cleans that up a lot more with his temper cooled realizing he can't do anything himself so HAS to trust Sonic to do the lifting. He's by no means powerless in the realms he can get into, but where the lifting needs done he's locked out.
He's also arguably the only one who understands Nine, because they are so similar and had every right to distrust Nine's motives.

- Nine. Bias aside. I REALLY liked the conclusion where Nine puts Sonic's head on straight that he is as real as any one else of the shatter spaces. To them they ARE real, not some cheap knock off copies of the Prime. Shadow did warn Sonic, but Sonic had these rose tinted glasses on whenever he looks at Nine. Can't blame Sonic either, Nine and Prime Tails are incredibly similar other than Nine being very aloof and a distrusting loner due to circumstances.
"This is what Sonic believes is me? hah... we are nothing alike" as he looks at the glitched out Prime Tails. Oh Nine... hearing you say that is adorable.

Con's (a lot of nitpicks I share with @MetalSkulkBane)

- My biggest con up front: The cliffhangers.
Every ending of the episode is done on a dramatic cliff hanger closure but as soon as you load the next episode the 'dilemma' is resolved within 3 minutes of the opening. This kills any and all tension a cliffhanger is supposed to establish.

'the antagonist' has won or is about to do something large? reveal it was easily resolved or that the antagonist BLUNDERED again so the dramatic end was all hot air.

- Boscagemaze feels almost like an afterthought. Yes we get to fight in there a bit more, but the chief in charge is Thorn Rose and the rest of the gang are just there. Prim, Mangey, Hangry and Gnarly just feel kinda there. Unlike No Place where we have like @MetalSkulkBanementions: the change in loyalty of Rusty Rose besides the usual riffraff of keeping 'me beauty' out of the hands of the council which is good progression. Boscagemaze gets no such treatment.

- Chaos Sonic. While I like what they did with the character: a more obnoxious Sonic forcefully letting the original experience what it's like to be on the receiving end of his quips, but turned to 11. However it felt more like a shoehorned in way to get Metal Sonic in to this story, luckily not overstaying his welcome for too long. A refresher, but ONLY because the other bots have become incredibly bland.

- Dr. babble & dr. Deep. Same mechs, same styles, nothing changes. It's becoming a bit tedious. And on that same topic: Always the same Egg-forcer bots. Boy oh boy do they have about 50 3d printers stuck on a loop in New-yolk or what? There's no tension in the fights unless they throw something new... liiiiiike PRISM EGGMAN!

 

[Austroid]

Place your bets on whether Mr. Dr. Eggman is...

Spoiler

really Prime Eggman in disguise; the giant Shard Eggman seems to heavily hint at this. Why wouldn't Shard Eggman have instead been a giant "Mr. Dr." instead of Prime Eggman? Really, what other in-world explanation could there be for the Shard Eggman to just so happen to look like Prime Eggy? I can imagine Sonic joking: "So you made up an alt. identity, and the best you could do was add "Mr." to your name!?" lolol, etc.

or...

Spoiler

is secretly working for Prime Eggman; unbeknownst to the rest of the council, and will likely be betrayed by Prime Eggy in the end.

I'm personally hoping for the former.

[Sega DogTagz]

Just a heads up for people who don't have netflix - they went ahead and uploaded the second episode of S2 to their youtube channel to go along with the first.

  Wouldn't that be insane. 

[MetalSkulkBane]

Eeeh, I doubt that.

1) If Eggman was still around, he wouldn't work through pawns. Like, what he gains by doing so?

2) They knew nothing about Sonic

3) If everyone already forgot Sonic Boom, I want to remind that CGI shows have fewer assets to work with, so they use tricks to save money. Like reusing a model with minor changes.

Transformers Prime made new Dreadwing that was re-paint of old one. 2012 TMNT made "Chrome Dome", using Chris Bradford with helmet on. It happens.

Besides, Nine just took over as a mail villain from Council. Do you seriously expect yet another plot-twist take-over? It's far more likely Chaos Council will just take the power back somehow.

With that said, if I really wanted THE Eggman back I have controversial idea: the baby.

If Chaos Prism affected Eggman and turned him into Dr Babble, then he was hiding in a plain sight, but unable to really act. The moment he would get fixed he could upstage rest of the Council with ease.

No spoiler box, because 'm 90% sure that's not the case.

There have been times when Eggy would take the easy way out by having others do the dirty work for him. Maybe he's watching/enjoying how the Council tries to deal with Sonic, while he sits back until the time comes? With the model reuse, I get that, but why not scale up a "Mr. Dr." version instead since he's the one who created it? Why use Prime Eggman's model when he hasn't been seen/relevant to the story (that we know of) since ep. 1?

(Though, Sonic's general non-reaction to Shard Eggman looking like his world's Eggy makes it feel like it was a last minute change, so who knows... But hey it makes for a fun discussion, right? Also that twist with him being stuck as Dr. Babble would be crazy in a good way lol)

Wish this show did a proper intro for every episode, like all the other Sonic cartoons, minus Boom.

Yeah, that's my biggest issue with this show.  It doesn't have it's own theme song, although to be fair, most Netflix shows don't have their own theme songs.

It must be really good it that's the biggest problem.

Sadly intros are slowly dying out, due to switch from TV to streaming.
1) People now skip them so why bother?
2) Intros used to quickly establish what's the show about in case you're watching out of order
3) Shows used to much longer (or at least aimed for it), so it felt like worth time investment.

I don't skip them, well unless it's a boring intro. Intros like the Japanese Sonic X and SATAM get me pumped for the episode and that's when I'm bingeing them too.

 

Cartoons still do them. Cuphead show has one and that's a Netflix original show. Although, I have no idea if they dropped the intro later as I've only watched a handful of episodes from that show.

New Sonic Prime sneak peak coming September 27th! The day before Frontiers' final DLC drops!

 

[Rabbitearsblog]

I'm surprised that they are releasing a sneak peek of the third season of Sonic Prime so soon.

Considering the Knuckles show is supposed to release in a few months (least before the strike happened), I'd imagine they'd wanna wrap up Prime's overall release, before the Knuckles show drops at some point. Hence why their doing it so soon.

That makes sense, especially since it might be possible that the Knuckles show might take away the interest from Sonic Prime if they premiered at the same time.

[Merry Gems]

Check this out, guys!

[SonicBoomFan101]

Glad I saw the trailer. I just wish I knew when we'll get a release date for it.

[Merry Gems]

In my case, I predicted at the end of Sonic Prime, Season 2 that Nine would be the villain of this season. Looks right I was right. No "In your face" remarks for the person who disagreed with me back then, though.

But hey, there is always a chance Sonic could have Nine redeemed in some way in the end.

Still, this is the kind of Tails you get when Sonic was not in his universe to defend and become friends with him.
