Hello! This is a special section of the site where we recap IDW Haya in the form of a rewrite/critique of the original IDW Sonic. This section is quite a bit immersion-breaking, so if you're not into that, I suggest closing your eyes, looking at the other pages, and not complain.

Now then. "Why the rewrite? IDW Sonic is written well, right?" Well there are some reasons.

First of all, certain Haya games have been rewritten from the original Sonic games, so I have to keep that in mind. And second, IDW Sonic is pretty inconsistent... I will go over those small things via these 'godpattern'-esque addendum boxes. Of course, you can checkmark that box above to hide all of it.

Largely, the IDW Sonic comic series displays abusive traits and behavior from characters that the narrative portrays as harmless, misunderstood, or justified in worse cases. The narrative fails as displaying this behavior, which has caused the larger fanbase to defend those actions.

For now, the rewrite will end after the destruction of Eggperial City. I'd love getting into Lanolin's abusive behavior in later arcs, but that has yet to be paid off.

With that out of the way, please keep in mind that this critique is no grounds to start harassing the original creators, nor isn't me explaining how wrong you are for pulling something positive out of it. This document is not intended to reach IDW staff; someone else must've done it or the staff went out of their way to find this (in which case: nice). Don't campaign for the removal of this page, nor use this page to campaign removing any of the writers as I just want to see improvements rather than removals.
