I'm impartial to how verbose he is but one thing that strikes me odd in IDW Sonic is how he has a tendency to just let bad guys go. Not saying he should kill them on the spot or anything but it feels like it goes against how he is in the games where he can go for the throat when provoked.

That's fair, I see it as Sonic's stubborn nature, especially with his stance on morality being "**** what everyone else thinks I'm doing what I think is best" and he just so happens to mostly do the right thing



Also lmao Marvel accidentally announced this

Now for a gal who needs no introductions

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Femme race:

1656772278662.png


“I’m Femme Medusa. You look like you can appreciate the beauty of death’s stillness, don’t you?”

Alignment: Dark-Law

Origin: Greek mythology. Daughter of the primordial sea goddess Ceto, one of the three Gorgon sisters and the only mortal one. Her name means “guardian”. Some say that she was originally a priestess of Athena and turned into a monster after Poseidon assaulted her in the goddess’s temple. Medusa had snakes for hair and all who looked into her eyes would turn into stone. After Perseus beheaded her, the winged horse Pegasus was born from her blood.

Skills: Marin Karin, Mazionga, Madness Nails, Charge

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Haunt race.

Believe it or not, Medusa being sexy instead of monstrous is not a modern invention. Even among ancient sources, there were records describing her with a fair face. Medusa being a victim instead of a natural-born monster, on the other hand, seems more of a result of Ovid’s writing, mostly dating to Roman Empire. That being said, this design is going a bit far to the “evil woman is also hot”. I like the skulls and weird snakes but I could’ve done with a little more accuracy. Still, she does her job well enough for being a memorable boss battle.

I’m just here to mess with y’all using my inane ramblings about Mario, Sonic, Splatoon and Kirby. Maybe some Cirno here and there.

also Oneshot propaganda.

Honestly I love Medusa for 2 reasons, her having some sick jeans (or is it like. A singular jean? Idk) and how the roleplay elements during the boss fights become extra ****ing cool, she tries to get you to look in her eyes and you can condescendingly look away which makes her pissed off and lowers her stats. In 4A, she does it again and if you do that she goes ****ing mental "THE SAME ****ING WAY HE LOOKED AAAAAARGH". I was so upset they took that away from SMTV, really great mechanic as small as it was.



Also speaking of SMT I tried Soul Hackers and uhhhh. The game won't let me use the 3ds circle pad, only the dpad. Which is an issue when your dpad is somewhat busted as you can't go right very easily.

Oh, absolutely. It was pretty neat how you had special conversations with bosses in IV and Apocalypse.

SMT V's demon negotiations and open maps are great but sometimes it feels they could've brought back more gameplay elements, Apocalypse was so much fun for them if nothing else.

You're not my friends, you're just internet weirdos I talk to on these boards and vaguely like.

this is a direct result of me being unable to trust people on the internet enough to label them as friends

Wait, that's how it goes?

The version I heard as a kid said she "made out" with him.

Geeze.

Yeah, I think some versions for the children soften these stories up.

But to be fair, Ovid's original narration makes it a bit unclear whether Medusa was willing or not. (However, the wording combined with how gods usually rolled in his stories makes it more likely that she wasn't.
