Honestly, I think Amy is way more than just the female love interest for Sonic she's genuinely such an amazing character throughout the games and the shows, and she doesn't get enough credit for what she does. She's a HUGE support character and in teams, especially the teams set up in the Sonic universe the way they are. Support characters play a MAJOR role in helping the main character lead up to the final boss. Overall tho Amy is super sweet and Sonic cares about Amy a lot (I've noticed he tends to show how much he actually misses her while she's I'm her absence then when she's actually around) but I love their interactions none the less. ♡
In Sonic Prime did Sonic and Amy’s rolls get swapped? Because MAN THE IMPLICATIONS IN THIS SHOW IS BOTH SUBTLE AND NOT SUBTLE AT THE SAME TIME.
The reason I say the two hedgehogs rolls are swapped is because one line in the entire show is the only indication of Amy’s crush on Sonic.
Sonic: “You like me….To some extent.” It’s never hinted at in the original Green Hill. Though a funny and random detail I liked is Amy apparently tricked Sonic into getting into the water (Probably to teach him how to swim) and I thought that would’ve been adorable to see.
Now onto Sonic’s part. Sonic possibly having a crush on Amy shouldn’t be a surprise. First of all the implications in actual canon Game/Modern Sonic is increasing more and more in my opinion. Secondly, this show’s version of Sonic is probably the most emotionally driven and affectionate. He’s not as secretive about how he feels either.
Sonic in episode 8 s2: “We’re all in this together. And I’d really think you’d grow to love them as much as I do.”
Onto the small details. We have short, but not hard to miss moments of Sonic just….staring at the different Roses. Sure, it can be viewed as platonic, but it’s the constant softening his gaze in a bunch of different scenes that didn’t have to be added, but was. It’s all up to interpretation.
Anyways, Sonic and original Amy’s first interaction is with the blue blur coming up to her excitedly and standing in a flirtatious manner. His tone of voice when he says “Got a little sidetracked,” could be interpreted as anything, but how he’s animated makes me pretty sure it’s intentionally flirtatious. That’s just me though.
Then we have the flirting teasing at Rusty Rose in the pirate dimension.
Rusty: “Not that anyone will remember you.”
Sonic: “Now you’re just being hurtful.”
Sonic not minding Black Rose hugging him and might even appreciates it.
And almost all the scenes between him and Thorn Rose was ship fuel for me. With Sonic calling her “Thorny,” as a nickname. He kept the location of the green shard a secret so Thorn could trust him. Sonic stopped himself from fighting Thorn as much as possible. (The Amy Flashback was adorable) Not to mention the last few scenes with Thorn holding onto Sonic was sweet as well.
Sonic even helped improved the sisters lives.
With Rusty finding her humanity and ability to live without her Flikie.
Thorn regained her broken friendship and trust with the Bose Cage Gang.
And Black Rose became the new leader of her Crew. (I say that knowing it was mostly Dreads redemption that helped, but still)
Sonic’s also the reason for all the Roses to gain a sisterhood. Which was one of the most precious part of the entire show. Season 3 has scenes of them running up to Sonic to make sure he’s alright, and helping Sonic twice by saving the last three pirates from No Place and getting him back home.
And here’s my favorite detail. I love how Sonic adores Amy’s way of thinking in Prime. When helping Thorn come to her senses, Sonic mentions how the original Amy would handle the situation. Expressing herself and discussing how she feels. The reason I bring it up is because Sonic finds value for Amy being able to do it without issue. Understanding he’s not the best at expressing himself.
Thorn: “I don’t know. She sounds pretty great.”
Sonic: “Yeah. You are.”
In fact. Sonic thinks so fondly of Amy that the show couldn’t end without having him come to her bashfully and calling her, “Sweet Amy.”
Also the posing with Sonic’s hand behind his back and feet up doesn’t help.
Last thing I’d like to point out is Sonic’s implied crush on Amy is very subtle and despite all of this can be interpreted as platonic which I’m fine with. But the thought of a roll reversal between two characters that’s never experienced it prior to now is awesome to speculate.
Here’s the most recent trailer in case anyone was looking for it, and I have A LOT to say.
Sonadow fans (including myself), are absolutely FEASTING on these trailers. but here are some small things I noticed that really caught my eye.
To start, sonic had some kind of power? Like he was walking in air?? I don’t know how to explain it but it was a short clip that I couldn’t help but rewatch a few times.
Then, I’m pretty sure Shadow found a way to get through the Shatterspaces which is SUPER exciting. And, if that’s the case, maybe we’ll see Shadow in different outfits?? Or like Sonic when he goes into different Shatterspaces and he gets new shoes and gloves? I think that’d be pretty cool.
Also…the ENDING??? HELLO?? IM GENUINELY TWEAKING. WHO IS WRITING THIS SHOW?? THE AMOUNT OF SONADOW SCENES IS CRAZY??
Was meant to be a fairly quick thing buuuut wasn't lol
Anyway, best scene in the Mario movie! I was listening to a review and they mentioned Bowser being a simp for Peach, and the most recent association to that word for me was Metal Sonic sooooooo
