I think people who hate the new character designs should remember the redesigns in Sonic Adventure. They suddenly gave everyone eye colors, changed Tails from orange to yellow and made Amy 4 years older.
“You were okay with the Adventure redesigns so that automatically means you’re not allowed to not be okay with these redesigns!”
Stop it. I’m allowed to like whatever designs I like whenever I like them and it’s not within your right to tell me whether or not I’m allowed to have that opinion.
(And this is coming from someone who still is on the fence as to what to think about these new designs.)
Nah, it’s just a generational thing. People who grew up with classic Sonic designs didn’t like the Adventure designs, and now the next generation who grew up with Adventure don’t like to Sonic Boom designs.
This has pretty much been the cycle of generations in respect to every since pretty much the beginning of human culture.
Most people just don’t like changes to their childhood.
That’s not to say there aren’t legitimate design concerns with either reboot, but I’m willing to bet 80% of people can’t distinguish the two in their minds.
That’s my 2 cents.
I think anyone complaining is forgetting Sega confirmed that the redesigns in Sonic Boom will only stay to Sonic Boom properties (In other words, the redesigns are only there for the Sonic Boom TV Show and Video game)
