Your favorite iteration of sonic? (Via show/comic/games etc)
That's a tough one. There's so many that I like-!
Prime Sonic and Wachowski are so expressive and sweet hyperactive children who are gradually learning things and they are both absolutely endearing to watch. I just wanna grapb these babies and hug them half the time.
Then there's X!Sonic (Japanese version). He feels like the one Sonic who has all aspects of Sonic's personality. He gets cocky, heroic, optimistic, sassy but also gets serious, angry, thoughtful and determined. The one gripe I have with him is how he doesn't seem to be as attached to Tails as the other versions. So not No#1 fav but still a fav, I like his characterization quite a lot. He has this aura about him that tells that he is self sufficient and experienced and has seen so much but is also a child and gets childish and excitable enough to act his age.
IDW Sonic is interesting. He tries to have the most positive and forgiving moral compass but the IDW writers are pushing his emotional and moral limits with every other arc. He's being put through test after test when it comes to patience and his morals. He is being taught that sometimes, you don't have a choice but to do what you don't wish to do. Sometimes, you have to let go of the goody morals of sparing every villain in sight to do the right thing. I have a hunch that the writers are treating Sonic as if he's Sega's restrictions on keeping the boy happy smiley hero 24/7. They're pushing him to his limits to the point that he learns to actually express other emotions, to actually stop an antagonist for once because you can't save everyone. You can't keep giving somebody a chance who has a choice but doesn't want to change. The writers are going, "Oh you wish to have Sonic as the King Positivity who never harms a living being and remains smiling no matter what? We'll give you a Sonic that's this way. And then put him through the horrors till he breaks. "
And Boom Sonic! He's an absolute mood! I love all of Roger's line deliveries in Boom, they were done so well. He's super fun to watch too.
Classic Sonic is a kid who is heroic and egoistic and is learning to enjoy life and have friends and be happy. Ova Sonic, Mania Sonic and AoSTH Sonic are my favorites when it comes to Classic.
And from the Games, well, SA2, Unleashed, SatBK, Secret Rings and Frontiers have some of my favorite characterizations.
In conclusion, characterization wise my favorite iterations of Sonic are:
1. SCU
2.Prime
3. SatBK
4. X (Japanese version)
5. Frontiers
6. Boom
7. AoSTH
And overall, my favorite iteration is this one:
