the last thing i want in life is to be a person who gets mad at children's media but i'll be a sonic boom hater until the day i die. in 20 years that entire sub-franchise will be a footnote of a footnote but the hate in my heart will rage on with the same intensity.

Like looking at the concept art for Rise of Lyric (the basis of the whole brand's identity) the takeaway I get is that this studio started up by American game industry people looked at Sonic coming out of the 2000s and said "Hey, this brand isn't doing too hot, let's Fix It by making it into a AAA-scale Disney licensed game"

A page of early concept art for Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric. To the left are studies of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy referenced from promotional renders of the character models. To the right are various concept sketches of Sonic with wildly different, more Disney-like body proportions and details.
A concept art painting for Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric. The painting depicts the playable characters riding on top of a flying art deco styled train as they are pursued by red one-eyed robots with large upper bodies.
A concept diagram showing a proposed level structure for Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric. The diagram designates placement of gameplay beats, cutscenes, setpieces, and progression gates in a left-to-right sequence.
A concept art piece for a vehicle from Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric, labelled "Knuckle's Boat". The vehicle is a circular hovercraft decorated with gold, white marble, and Tron-like illuminated green lines. To the right are examples of different colors for the vehicle.

I don't want to vilify Big Red Button too much, since Sega ultimately did the most harm by aggressively mismanaging everything (forcing it to tie in with a previously unrelated Sonic cartoon project, forcing BRB to port it to the Wii U after the bulk of development assumed a PS4/Xbone release) but I want to make the point that the whole project had a bad vibe from the outset.

i hate everything about the show, its uncharacteristically cynical for sonic and has no identity beyond bog-standard cartoon jokes ive heard dozens of time. im willing to bet its positive reception comes from clipped meta jokes on social media (sonic sucks in 3D! wink wink!) because the show as a whole is miserably boring.

its such a mess of a scene no matter the interpretation. if taken as a joke, which im assuming is the intent, "dumb character says smart thing" is the most basic cartoon gag on the planet. it keeps popping up with people claiming it's comedy gold and i have no idea why.

of course, the alternative is to take the quote seriously which fuck me i hope nobody actually does.

this this very this. the game they intended to launch the rebrand with would also be cynical and dull even if it wasn't a glitchfest that was crammed onto a console it wasn't designed for at Sega's behest. like the concept art is indefensible.

also worth noting that the entire reboot/subseries/whatever was the result of a game project and a cartoon project with nothing to do with one another being mashed together
