Welcome to part 2 of my review of "Sonic SatAm!" Oh, goodness, can I talk about Princess Sally Acorn for a second? I know that a LOT, and I mean A LOT of people like to complain about Princess Sally Acorn from the Archie Sonic comics because of a certain slap she did to Sonic in Archie Sonic comic #134, but she apologized for it to Sonic in Archie Sonic comic issue #187, which was made 13 YEARS AGO! So people need to get the living daylights over that, and in the preboot Archie Sonic comics up to issue 230, Sally was a really deep character who’s relatably a worrywart and had other things to her character like being a bad cook and being a people-pleaser even when it might not have been smart. But Sally in "Sonic SatAm" is HORRIBLE to Sonic, and I would rather see her slap to Sonic from issue #134 of the Archie Sonic comics than see her shockingly rude and disrespectful behavior towards Sonic in this show. Every time, she shocks me with the rude lines to Sonic she gives like, ”where were you when they were handing the brains out," and "that was absolutely crazy, Sonic!"

Sally should have realized that in that episode where she said to Sonic, "that was absolutely crazy," Sonic saved her darn life! Another line from Sally that infuriates me is, "but, unlike some hedgehogs who leap before they look, I have the ability to LEARN," which makes Sally look DUMB because she should have realized that Sonic can spin-dash, which MUST have taken practice to pull off on Sonic's part! And when Sonic grabbed the rope of the biplane in one "Sonic SatAm" episode to keep it from crashing off a cliff, Sally didn’t thank him right away and stupidly said condescendingly that, ” We were in a plane. If we fell off the cliff, we’d fly away” in the most condescending tone ever, and then Sonic had to be the one to point out that ” where would you land?” And FINALLY, she thanks Sonic. I would expect any decent being to thank him for saving her right away. Even Sally did that in Archie Sonic comic #7 in one story where she was dressed up like a witch, even if she smacked Sonic in the head with a stick after the thank you and kiss. From the pilot episode alone, she insisted Sonic was not helping! How?!

That's not even talking about all the arguments they have, where they’re bickering like 5-year-old children whether or not something will work or whether or not something is cool or disgusting! Goodness, that filler, make it stop! It drags the show’s pacing to a screeching halt and makes it ploddingly, nails-on-a-chalkboard SLOW. Why would Sally not immediately cut that immature excuse for an argument short instantly instead of wasting her time being just as childish as he is like a five-year-old, even stomping on the ground? This is so out of character for Sally!

Any time they have those exchanges where they each say very little between each other, I hate it because it’s padding out the runtime and making it painfully obvious in a meta sense, that the writers didn’t have enough ideas to make the genuine plot last the entire episode, so they had filler. I’ve watched a lot of shows in my life, and this easily has the most, most noticeable filler out of all of them. I can get behind her being a bratty princess. I loved a story from the Archie Sonic comics called "Paper Trails" where she got furiously power hungry over a newspaper article by Rotor poking fun at her dying her hair twice. But the minute she’s a jerk to SONIC, the main hero of the world, the most competent of the heroes ever because of his super speed, that’s when I draw the line and that’s 90% of her brattiness right there.

Speaking of Sonic, I can actually see where she’s coming from treating him like an idiot who’s never useful because he IS an idiot. This is one of the worst Sonic the Hedgehogs I have ever seen. They turned him into a parody of himself. Not only is he an idiot who doesn’t believe Tails about the Sally infiltrator making me practically start screaming at the computer in my review, but worst of all, he’s SUCH a wimp and it’s not even pointed out. Any time he’s actually scared of the robots or Robotnik and backs away from them like a coward, it makes me sick.

It’s a very common thing for Sonic in "Sonic SatAm" to just cowardly run away from the robots instead of just spindashing through them and destroying them. It’s so not self-aware of the writing, it’s so stupid, because this is a guy who can move as a buzzsaw at over 600 miles per hour. What do you think is gonna happen when he hits a robot?! And there’s not a single line in the show where they SAY, that the metal of the robots is just that tough, or that all he’d do is kill himself from the high-speed impact with them even if he did damage them.

It angers me seeing Sonic be such a wimp. I loved Sonic’s brotherly relationship with Tails where he picks him up and teases that he’s not gonna have fun with him once and then they slide down the Great Oak Slide anyways, but it barely ever shows up. So yeah, I've got more to cover on "Sonic SatAm"; stick around for part 3 of this review, and until then, toodles.
