Why would they be allowed to make a Sonic film but not use the name of his home planet? That doesn't make any sense.

What are some things you actually like about Sonic, Papenbrook?

It can be characters, games, shows, concepts.

I await your response.

I really enjoyed Sonic Underground. I know breaking into song was kinda corny but the show was good. I assume it got an ending in the comics.

They stuck to Sonic being an alien so using the name Mobius is highly possible.

I was thinking about the rings. It’s confirmed that’s how he travelled here. I’m thinking the portal works by using all of them set up in a circle. He’s holding one in the pics so it’s not 1 giant one. Plus it’s mentioned he has to recover them...plural.

Another way could be they shrink/grow when activated displaying a destination window in the middle.

Before anyone says that’s stupid it’s actually not. There’s ring portals in the games. They never actually explain how got to earth in the games either and as for the chaos emeralds some games do not even use them as part of the storyline.

The emeralds could exist in the movies but most likely won’t be mentioned since it’s about Sonic saving us and getting back. It’d be cool if a sequel had a special zone though. That’d make for an awesome end-credits scene. Just showing an emerald trapped in another world.

There were plans to, but they fell through along with everything else going on at Archie Comics at the time.

They don't want another "Ken Penders" situation on their hands.

That ... would be a bit hard for me ..., but ... let me just leave you with this:

I adore the Sonic series for one simple reason - the representation of freedom and choice.

Sonic, as a character, is the ultimate definition of freedom. Freedom for the environment that envelopes him snuggly, freedom from a system that tells him how to live, freedom from the society that brings him down - just, freedom in general.

In other words, I'm drawn to what Sonic represents: doing acts of kindness that help you gain/receive freedom and, eventually, using that freedom to pass it down to whomever you wish.

You're a very strange person.

*sdp* · 04-07-2019, 09:26 PM

I like Sonic because he's a ****ing cocky asshole most of the time.

I hope Ben is decent, at least.

Ya I just looked it up and Queen Aleena appears but they never find her. I would not be surprised if IDW gave it an ending though.

Your comparing characters made for some comic vs something that has always been part of the English canon. By that logic they shouldn't be allowed to use the name Robotnik either.

Right now, someone who worked on SATAM ( namely, a producer/executive/creator ) could literally claim the rights to the show, and then legally sue Sega and their cohorts.

*Xav* · 04-08-2019, 10:28 PM

What the heck do the rights of SATAM have to do with a name taken from the Sonic Bible?

*Papenbrook* · 04-08-2019, 11:07 PM

They would get Ken Pender'd, should someone decide to sue!

So, Iizuka-san probably ordered/recommend that the writers/screenplayers not use the "Mobius".

Ken Penders does not own the rights to Mobius. That was a Sega of America's creation. Not his.

*The Deadman* · 04-09-2019, 06:16 AM

It's funny Papen keeps mentioning this Ken Penders guy....

"Penders filed a lawsuit against Sega and Electronic Arts (EA Games) in 2011 for alleged copyright infringement in the game Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, which was developed by EA's subsidiary BioWare. The case was dismissed without prejudice September 26, 2011, then again in February 2012, after the case had been refiled four days after it was originally dismissed, despite warnings from Judge Otis Wright who dismissed the case both times. In October 2013, the CA 9th Appellate Court upheld Judge Wright's initial ruling."

Not a good leg to stand on

*Papenbrook* · 04-09-2019, 11:01 AM

Please, kindly peer at the other Ken Penders lawsuit - the "Archie Comics" one.

And he went after Sega, you know, the people who created the Sonic universe. That's more important
