Interview: DC X SONIC WRITER IAN FLYNN ON BRINGING THE ICONIC HEDGEHOG TOGETHER WITH THE JUSTICE LEAGUE







Quote
Nerdist: It’s safe to say the DC Universe and the Sonic world are very, very different, but you found a way to make them mesh pretty seamlessly. What was the hardest part of making these two mythologies feel cohesive?

Ian Flynn: I guess the biggest thing was just deciding on which iterations of the characters would be showing up, but DC and Sega weighed in on that from the very get-go. So they did most of the heavy lifting there. Beyond that, it’s a matter of treating both worlds and both casts with love and respect. And if you do that, everything else falls into place.

In the first issue, you get the most important thing out of the way first, which is “Sonic trying to race the Flash.” Did you feel that was something that needed to happen right away? Or did you consider making the readers wait?

No, no, no. You know that’s when people are coming for first thing. It’s the two iconic speedsters. You’ve got to give the people what they want. And once you get all that out of the way, then you can just have fun with ...

‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ Tops Total Disc Sales for Fourth Week; ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Tops Blu-ray Chart



Quote
Paramount Home Entertainment’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 remained No. 1 on the Circana VideoScan chart, which tracks combined DVD and Blu-ray Disc unit sales, the week ended May 10.
The latest sequel based on the Sega video game series finds Sonic and friends clashing with Shadow the Hedgehog, while Dr. Robotnik teams with his long-lost grandfather to deploy a superweapon against the Earth.
However, while Sonic 3 maintained the overall disc lead in its fourth week on shelves, it was surpassed on the dedicated Blu-ray Disc chart, where it was No. 3, and 4K Ultra HD disc chart, where it was No. 2.
The top seller on both the Blu-ray and 4K charts was ...

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Prime, Vol. 1 is out now!



Quote
Relive all the action from the Netflix animated series in this graphic novel adaptation!

Sonic is used to fighting it out with Dr. Eggman, and with the help of his friends Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge, he usually comes out on top! But, during their latest explosive battle, a collision with the Paradox Prism sends Sonic to a parallel world called New Yoke City, where the dull environment looks oddly familiar. Once he gets his bearings, he’ll have to race through multiple dimensions to reconnect with his friends and save the world!

Volume 1 adapts “Episode 1: Shattered” and “Episode 2: The Yoke’s On You” from Season 1 of the 2022 Netflix series.

I see.
What about Hermione?
I saw some fanarts drew Hermione as a black person even before the series was announced.
(and of course none of black person as Snape fanart)





In Philosphers Stone, she was described "bushy brown hair, brown eyes, and large front teeth". Her skin was never clearly mentioned or described.
When Cursed Child was made in collaboration with Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, she wanted a black person to play as Hermione.
I imagine she approved of Emma Watson at the time of the films. But it shows that Hermione can be played by either white or coloured actress if suited for the role.

Ron however was described as "tall, thin and gangling, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose". The Weasley family is also known for their red hair throughout the family. Freckles and red hair are common trait of european-caucasian people, especially of Celtic heritage like the Scots or the Irish.

Snape is descibed as "a thin man with sallow skin, a large, hooked nose, and yellow, uneven teeth. He has shoulder-length, greasy black hair which frames his face, and cold, black eyes. He wears black, flowing robes which give him the appearance of "an overgrown bat"."
Sallow means an unhealthy pale complexion.

I'm all for more coloured diversity in Hogwarts, but the Harry Potter TV series can't claim they're more book accurate than the movies if they're going to be pandering.
Actually Nintendo also don't care about some of their franchises.
All we see were just Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Fire Emblem,and Animal Crossing.
Almost nothing new of these now ...











It's still quite a handful with franchises dating back since the retro-era.

Sega's primary flagships are Sonic, Like A Dragon, Puyo Puyo, Two Point series and Total War. Sonic and Puyo Puyo are the only retro games they have, and Puyo Puyo wasn't Sega to begin with. Two Point and Total War were obtained in requirements.
And to be honest, Two Point and Total War are a rather niche fandom. Other than that, there's the phone games and PSO2:NGS which seems like a sinking ship at this point.

Power Surge feels like first time in forever Sega are giving a crap about their retro IP.
I'd rather Frontiers sequel right now.
Meh, I like open-zone gameplay but I'd rather have a new Adventure game with it.

Because we live in a mobile phone dependant culture, I hate how it's presumed everyone has a phone to play such games.
But I don't, so it annoys me how I'm missing cool events because Sonic Team couldn't get it on Steam.

Sallow means an unhealthy pale complexion.

But In the Chamber of Secrets, it said, “Hermione's white face was sticking out from behind a tree." and  in Prisoner of Azkaban, it was written that she tanned during the summer.

I'm all for more coloured diversity in Hogwarts, but the Harry Potter TV series can't claim they're more book accurate than the movies if they're going to be pandering.

Yeah. It's the right of movie/tv series producer to change an adaptation, as long as they don't say their work as “book accurate" or blaming fans if their work isn't a success.

It's a start and let's hope for the best. If Power Surge failed, I'm afraid SEGA wouldn't care for their retro franchises ever again.

Meh, I like open-zone gameplay but I'd rather have a new Adventure game with it.

Our tastes are clearly different then. I still prefer Frontiers than Sonic Adventure 1-2, Shadow Generations, or Colours Ultimate.

Because we live in a mobile phone dependant culture, I hate how it's presumed everyone has a phone to play such games.
But I don't, so it annoys me how I'm missing cool events because Sonic Team couldn't get it on Steam.

They knew that, that's why they wrote "And don’t worry, you are not missing out! This Crossover Event will return after Global launch 🤝"

Knuckles Just Got Master Emerald Merch At Loungefly, But It Won't Be Around For Long







Quote
If you have found this article in time and want either the backpack or the wallet, or both, you can grab them through the links in the boxes below. The backpack costs $90, and the wallet costs $40. Yes, pretty pricey, but those familiar with Loungefly will have been expecting that. Not only are these high-quality and officially licensed products, but the price is bumped up even more than usual by the limited edition nature of the new Knuckles ...
