@Lady I used to be engaged with a similar struggle against being a hipster, but I eventually got tired and just gave in

@Lady they added a new character and i want to love her so much but unfortunately the story is b a d

@Lady i like her anyway but her arc doesn’t really, land

@aescling @Lady I'm a big fan of the decision to have a Big Emotions Flashback Montage but to just use previous footage from the game, leading to seeing two characters just stand there with Feelings Music playing

@coriander @Lady it’s also undermined pretty hard by eggman being an asshole the whole time to her up to that point

@coriander @Lady it’s supposed to be a Touching Father Daughter Relationship but like. he’s kinda shit. lmao

@aescling @Lady Just read all the datalogs and then you get half of a character arc!

@coriander @Lady i was so annoyed by the datalogs because

1. put that shit in the overworld??? make exploring worth anything???????
2. it’s a bunch of references and repetition of story that’s already explained in just. the cutscenes. and then like. eggman’s opinions on the main cast. idc do something INTERESTING i am BEGGING you
