...You know, Marine just wasn't that good a character in SR:A. She got into trouble a lot, couldn't defend herself, yet at the end she uses some unexplained energy blast to distract the Eggmen long enough for Sonic and Blaze to finish the job. So much potential right down the drain there. However, if this is Marine and we see her back, hopefully her characterization won't amount to something around 'author pet' level.

So finally getting caught up on the Sonic Archie comics since I've not read a one I've gotten in from my subscription since I started grad school, then washed out, then started working. The series got rebooted since summer and now all characters have been changed to look more in line with the official post Dreamcast art style. I'm not sure what to think of any of this. :/

Speculation is that it's hydrokinesis based on how most characters' names in the Sonic universe are based on abilities/attributes they have. Either way, it would've been interesting to see her in future titles to see how she'd been developed, but NOPE.

So it turns out that not only could Sonic Boom's designs have been even worse, BRB have gone on record stating that members of Sonic Team - Takashi Iizuka, specifically - were, quote, traumatized by their earlier designs.

Quote:
 
We experimented with different colours and surface features on the characters, such as fur or scales, and quickly Sonic Team came back with their discomfort of that. They were great guardrails for us to understand when we were deviating too far from the character. Without their input, the character would have been a lot more alien and different from what Sonic is known for.

“I felt sorry for the guy," Rafei continued, in reference to the moment SEGA brought Iizuka in to see what was happening. "Sometimes he couldn’t actually look at the screen – it was too traumatic seeing all the crazy stuff we wanted to do.

“Over the course of that meeting, when we were coming up with new ideas, we had a very sincere conversation about why a character should or should not wear pants, and that was a very surreal moment in my life and my career, but it helped us understand the rules of clothing in this universe. Any small adjustment went a very long way, so we had to be very careful."

I still find it weird that they're doing region only releases of Boomerang.

If these guys really wanted to get all creative up in this bitch, then why not use those incredibly radical designs for their own project?

They don't like the designs at all, mainly because it's not "their" design.

Stopped reading right here.

I'm tempted to start getting mad at this, but the fact that the article has absolutely no sources leads me to wonder if this is even real.

I found reports of domain registrations by Sony Pictures for a Sonic movie dating back to Dec. 2013, but nothing by Columbia Pictures.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Actually here's a better one... the article makes mention that a "Samuel Dickerman" is overseeing the project among other Columbia execs. Only problem is, Sam left for Disney over a month ago.

This is so bad, it'd be almost laughable if it wasn't so obviously fake.

I read it somewhere else and didn't realize it until reading the other half. When I heard it wasn't going to be geared towards kids.. I couldn't tell you how happy I felt, then a millisecond later I thought it was probably too good to be true. Then I read the whole live-action thing... and then I just gave up reading it. Someone's pulling our leg.
