They don't have toes. That's my whole gripe. I don't have a foot fetish but it's like an anti-fetish for me whenever I see Sonic characters bare feet with "toeless flesh-socks". It just disgust me. As in "Is that the best SOnic Team could come up with? The last potato in the shop look?"

Yeah, turned out there is none...



So what I remember them having toes might be from comic or fan arts...
Or may be belong to Eggman...





Dang... is it really hard for them to draw humanoid animal's feet?

He's always been like that. Just makes it more funnier.

He's not that funny in Yakuza 0 though.

I heard in Japan, Christmas is like a secondary Valentines Day for them while still all the traditions and trimmings of Christmas. I can only imagine what Christmas is like in Japan, especially in Joypolis.

Yeah. While most Western countries celebrate Christmas on December 25, Christmas Eve is the main event in Japanthanks to the lovey dovey couples that want to ****, uh, I meant to have a romantic dinner in special day other than Valentine day.
Since it's also a family tradition to spend time together at Christmas, it’s also the day many stores have the biggest sales of the year, including KFC to have its biggest chicken sales of the year in Christmas, to the point that If we don’t have a pre-order, we can’t even get in the door at KFC.

I'm glad Wednesday reached the top as well. I enjoyed that show... even though I admit they depicted the Addams a bit on the evil side over the dark side, such as [SPOILER: Uncle Fester being a criminal].

Yeah, turned out there is none...

I simply game Darkspine Sonic a pass given "magic". That the magic fuse his shoes into his feet or something. But yeah, mobian feet appears to be ugly flesh-socks.

Fan art depict them with toes because that's "normal".
DiC cartoons have depicted Sonic with bare feet before.




Sonic with human-looking feet looks weird but it still looks better than fleshsocks. I think SatAM feet looks better for Sonic given it's just three toes.

As for the "toeless flesh-socks", all Sonic Team has to do is add two lines and they will look so much more normal and appealing.

It's just that simple.
Please let me remind you I do not have a foot fetish. I simply find the "toeless flesh-socks" offputting.

The fact Dr. Eggman gets to keep his human feet is kind of unfair given he has the most normal feet than the others.

He's not that funny in Yakuza 0 though.

I only played a bit of Yakuza 0, My guess he was just starting out.

Yeah. While most Western countries celebrate Christmas on December 25, Christmas Eve is the main event in Japanthanks to the lovey dovey couples that want to ****, uh, I meant to have a romantic dinner in special day other than Valentine day.

I know Christmas Dinners in KFC is a Japanese thing but I didn't know it was an Indonesia thing as well.

At least they are still evil. New series sometimes nerfed evilness due to avoid offense some groups or people.

Yes.. Must be from that cartoon show. No wonder those "feet" in my memories feel "official" thing.

Ah no, I was still talking about Japanwhen I talk about KFC. Here most people just visit each others during Christmas and eat together at home.

Interview with Logan McPherson, ‘Sonic Prime’ Executive Producer
Episode 1 is Available on Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCSOjGOQOAc

"We’ve done some pretty big shows, but this was a level-up in certain respects. Our asset team had to be huge as the character count was super high, and there are five worlds being featured.
The animation team was also bigger than normal as we were really pushing the quality of animation. It also features huge character counts in the shots, with lots of fighting and battling so there was not shortage of work to do for the animation team! When you have such a large crew, you need a bigger production team as well to help keep it all organized and on track!"

At least they are still evil. New series sometimes nerfed evilness due to avoid offense some groups or people.

But they're not suppose to be evil! They're "dark" but not evil. The whole premise of the Addams Family and a family that have their own traditions that to outsides look deranged, cryptic or cruel but to the family itself they are regarded as normal behaviour as children playing or family outings, all the while they welcome guests into their homes, be friendly and outgoing even if they themselves find normal things strange. The whole morale being that while the family is strange and different, they are still a loving family.
I understand the Wednesday series is a teen comedy-drama series and thus should be a bit more grimdark than usual I don't think they should go as far as to make them "evil".

Yes.. Must be from that cartoon show. No wonder those "feet" in my memories feel "official" thing.

It perhaps feel that they because they look more normal while the "toeless flesh-socks" are perhaps design that way to draw attention away from it. For example you forgot Big and Tikal wear sandals. But given I am aware of this it just feels like an abomination f character design to me.

Ah no, I was still talking about Japanwhen I talk about KFC. Here most people just visit each others during Christmas and eat together at home.

Oh that's fine. Japan sure have it's ways with Western holidays. But I kinda like it. They go all out with it. I heard they're not too fond of Halloween though.

'Wednesday' has an age rating of 14+ so I'm aware what I expect from the show.
While it lost the charm from the pevious shows & movies, it has its owblind of charm (for a teen series).
I love the new character too, Enid and her relation with Wednesday, and how contrast their difference are.

Oh that's fine. Japan sure have it's ways with Western holidays. But I kinda like it. They go all out with it. I heard they're not too fond of Halloween though.

Yeah, especially the use of pumpkins as decoration is seen as a waste.
Halloween isn't popular too here in my country.

Sonic (and Carbuncle) Enjoyed the December 2022 Holiday

While it lost the charm from the pevious shows & movies, it has its owblind of charm (for a teen series).
I love the new character too, Enid and her relation with Wednesday, and how contrast their difference are.

I do like how not only how the two gradually became friends, but how Wednesday learned not to just "use" others for her desired outcomes and to treat others as friends.

Yeah, especially the use of pumpkins as decoration is seen as a waste.
Halloween isn't popular too here in my country.

From what I understand, it's because Halloween revelry can be regarded as disruptive and out of norm for Japanese standards.

I like 3C myself. Especially if they fit lighting inside the base and flames.

Things still could change though I doubt it give its age rating.

From what I understand, it's because Halloween revelry can be regarded as disruptive and out of norm for Japanese standards.

It actually has resemblance to the Bon Festival which evokes the image of “death”.

I like 3C myself. Especially if they fit lighting inside the base and flames.

I like how she's showing more of her fangs in 3C.

Sonic Movie Writers Talk Big the Cat, Shadow, & Agent Stone

“That was a big challenge with us and Jeff (Fowler) and Toby (Ascher), breaking the story for Sonic 3 and, obviously, they’ll murder us if we reveal too much, but with a character like Knuckles it very quickly was easy to see how we’d make Knuckles work so you can take him seriously, but he can also be funny since this is a Sonic the Hedgehog movie,” Miller said.
“You look to characters like Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation or Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s easier to wrap your head around that with Shadow, again, because he’s not really supposed to be that funny. I’m trying to think of what we can say since we can’t reveal anything.”
