See All…

Everyone meeting Lloyd: ugh, this brat

Everyone half a season later:  I would actually die for Lloyd

This was presented with a very whimsical tone and I enjoyed it for that but also. it's such a specific side effect that I can't not analyze it

Like, on principle it makes perfect sense. Give an already fast and energetic character who talks to himself all the time a boost to his abilities, and he becomes twice as chatty to compensate.

But his external monologue has never taken the form of a conversation between two people before, and in a show that's all about having alternate versions of the same character, that's worth taking note of. Especially since this started after he was given energy from the Paradox Prism, the thing that presumably made all of those alternate versions to begin with.

(And even more especially since the show already played around with the idea of there being two Sonics only a few episodes ago with the existence of Chaos Sonic)

So, the other oddity regarding this whole thing is how one side is consistently just. uncharacteristically mean and deadpan towards the other?? I showed one example earlier, but there's two more, and that accounts for almost every instance of Sonic talking to himself in this form

Sonic's never really talked to anyone like this before, not even himself. It almost comes across like an emulation of Shadow more than anything else, which is just. so bizarre?? Especially when Shadow's literally right next to him in the last scene, and thus he has no need to substitute his presence.

In fact, he seems to catch himself and stops doing the self-banter thing entirely as soon as Shadow acknowledges him doing it

And he looks surprised when Shadow speaks, too, like he already forgot that other people can hear him. It really comes off like he's in his own little world, and again, this is a show about multiple worlds, so it's pretty fitting.

I'm not letting Shadow's phrasing off the hook, either - "a Sonic," hm? As if there's more than one?

Even Sonic gets confused about how many of him there are, which has quite the loaded implication for how short of a moment it is; something that could describe everything about this form, honestly.

It all gives me this impression that we're not quite done with this concept of there being multiple Sonics, or at least not done with this form being used in general. There's a lot of potential in what they've already set up for it, and I'd love to see it explored further.

Plus, this one frame of Sonic after he first gets it still gives me the impression that there's something... off about it

And I want to know what that something is

Villain Jay prayer circle teehee

You know, the interesting part of Jay's character is the amount of talents and hobbies that the guy shows to have throughout the show and that because he is so focused on his pessimism, he does not realize that he has them and only ends up sinking in his own insecurity and self-sabotage. Like, canonically Jay is good at carpentry (since he supposedly builds bird houses), inventing, cooking, writing poetry, dancing, skating, painting, and depending or not on whether or not he already knew how to do this before s12, he also knows how to play the electric guitar. And there's no need to mention fighting and the fact that he managed to make a tv show.

Jay's biggest problem is that his faith investement skills are shit. So he himself doesn't take all of these things into account and seeks to lie even when he easily has the largest skill catalog on the team and has the energy to be good at so different things.
