 My thoughts on "Sonic Underground" (part 1):

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I am back to review some Sonic stories!  I'm not sure if you ever saw my posts on "Sonic X" or "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog," but you can check them out in previous posts.  Personally, I don't think "Sonic X" or "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" are very good Sonic cartoons at all.  I don't hate Chris Thorndyke or other humans existing with Sonic and his friends, but I do want Sonic and his friends to be portrayed well, and "Sonic X" didn't do that very well.  A LOT of people in the Sonic fan-base hate Chris Thorndyke, but I'm not really one of those people because while he did do something stupid by kidnapping Sonic, he did apologize for being selfish.  

Also, I know that a lot of people like to hold Princess Sally Acorn's slap to Sonic from Sonic comic #134 against Sally, and while I can see why, they need to realize that Sally apologized for that slap and that outburst to Sonic in issue #187.  Another thing I REALLY hate from the Sonic fan-base is that when a character makes a mistake that he or she apologizes for, some fans will NOT forgive the character for mistake.  I REALLY hate that kind of attitude from the Sonic fan-base because it makes a lot of Sonic fans look like GIANT IDIOTS and not to mention GIANT BULLIES (I'm looking at people like you, "keiko utoku sonic" and "Dashing Jack!")!  OK, sure, maybe Mina Mongoose isn't the greatest character in Sonic history, but I don't think she's the worst Sonic character ever, ladies and gentlemen.  She did apologize to Nicole in Sonic comic #237 for the horrible concert that she did to incite anger against Nicole, so people need to kind of, as one of the songs from the Disney movie "Frozen" would say, "let it go!"  

If you want people who I think deserve hatred from the Sonic franchise, someone like Ash Mongoose, Hamlin, Ixis Naugus, and Eggman would make that list, not people like Mina, Chris Thorndyke, or Sally (well, OK, Sally's not good in "Sonic SatAm," but I'll get into WHY I think so when I talk about "Sonic SatAm!")!  Anyway, "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" COULD HAVE been a good show, but it just wasn't because Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts were incompetent robots, Robotnik was very incompetent as a villain, Sonic was a sadistic hero, and the list of problems goes on.  There IS another show called "Sonic SatAm" that I haven't reviewed yet that pretty much started around the same time that "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" did, but that won't be the topic of today's post.  Instead, I'm going to talk about ANOTHER Sonic show called "Sonic Underground" which got mixed to negative reviews from some people.  Instead of having characters like Tails and Amy, other characters get added to the show like Sonic's siblings, whom are Sonic's sister Sonia and Sonic's brother Manic, Sonic's mom Queen Aleena, and other characters like Sleet and Dingo.  Knuckles the Echidna DOES appear in at least a few episodes, but that's all you really see of him.  

And yes, you see Dr. Robotnik (I'm sorry, but I don't really like the guy).  So you're probably wondering what my thoughts on "Sonic Underground" are.  Well, it's one of my favorite Sonic cartoons, but that doesn't mean that it's without problems.  One positive that I do like right away is the catchy theme song of "Sonic Underground" because it sounds like the guy's REALLY trying to sing well, and I think he pretty much succeeded.  I also love the action scenes and the animation in the intro of "Sonic Underground."  I think it's kind of lame that Sonic's mom Queen Aleena doesn't sing in the intro, but I do like her voice in the intro and the show.  

If you want to see the "Sonic Underground" intro, just look it up on YouTube; I don't think you'll be disappointed.  I also love Sonic's sister Sonia because of how much enthusiasm she has about wanting to be a princess, plus she wants to be clean and wants to be careful, but there are some times when she takes risks, too, which I'm fine with.  I also love how realistically upset she is about not wanting to live life on the run; that must be pretty hard:(  There's not much to say about Manic, sadly, but he does like to steal, and sadly, he doesn't really suffer consequences for stealing.  At the very least, he IS a nice person (I wish I could say that about characters like Ash and Hamlin from the Archie Sonic comics), but I will discuss that ANOTHER time!

Another interesting thing is that Sonic, Manic, and Sonia are all triplets and they're all members of a royal family because Aleena is their mother and a queen!  Of course, I don't think Sonic should EVER be a prince!  The reason I say that is because if Sonic has to be a king, then he wouldn't EVER want to be one because kings likely wouldn't be able to go on adventures like Sonic would want to!  Kings would probably have to sit through a LOT of meetings and do a lot of paperwork, and I can see Sonic wanting to do neither!  Since my blog post is getting lengthy, stick around for part 2 of my review of "Sonic Underground!"
