Thoughts on Surge and Kit?

yeah! i certainly have em! 😌

...

oh... OH. you wanna know?!?! psfjdkdlsl okay okay, i'll drop the bit.

look. i say it a lot but i'm a sonic fandom vet, i've been here for way too long even if people only know me through this pretty young blog (let's just say... i rebranded!)

anyways, surge concerns me. idw in general tends to concern me because ever since archie i've been hesitant to grow attached to cross-media adaptations, especially because the downfall of p*nders along with 06 fucked up adaptation for sonic team as a whole. we saw what happened with boom (the tragedy of SEGA and Nintendo tryna fuck every two seconds) and it's present in all the limitations Ian has to write under! someone needs to snipe Izuka before he says more dumb lore shit, and it's just... ugh.

concept wise? i am in lesbians with surge. i can't help it, i think she looks cool and has potential. however, we all know why she exists (scourge) and have seen the testtube rival a billion times (almost every rival tbh) so it's just a remix of something fans already love and that makes me angry! infinite was pretty damn original for SEGA and while the execution wasn't as strong as the hype, he was refreshing! and we saw how the fandom reacted to that.

surge has barely existed and people are already sold because sonic fans are so easy to please by just reusing old concepts. everyone has fallen in love with surge's potential despite the lack of content thus far, but will flat out ignore existing content for other characters that already exist! it's hypocritical and that shouldn't change my view of her, but it does.

also, isn't idw supposed to focus on expanding the sonic secondary cast? i'm a bit behind and tend to read issues out of order, but it feels like the focus has been on comic exclusive characters for a while now. don't get me wrong, i LOVE belle (and tangle-whisper-jewel bc haha gay i am gay sorry) but something i loved about metal virus arc was shit like espio getting attention, amy being in charge, THE BABYLON ROGUES HOLY SHIT, METAL TOO?!? idk. character??? i just don't want us to get 0 secondary characters in both the games and the comics, it hurts. espio hasn't been a main playable character in 14 years, that's older that some of y'all, right? big sads from me, a purple bisexual character fan

anyways, surge better not disappoint so i'm reluctant to get attached to her just yet, but i hope this works out.

what about kit? i'd die for him <3 i'm stealing him from surge and starline he is my sad baby now too bad xoxo
