I’ve seen people make arguments how Ken Penders actually doesn’t legally own Scourge. He specifically owns “Evil Sonic,” as that character didn’t become Scourge until Ian Flynn’s run in the book, when Ken was long gone. I know it seems like a case of apples to oranges, but such minutia is everything in the court of law.
idk how he can even own "evil sonic" it's sonic with a leather jacket, unless that's just a own him as an oc rather than something he can use to sell comics
That’s cause Ken really doesn’t own scourge… anti sonic it’s possible, but scourge was designed by Patrick Spaziante.. so penders is basically violating Patrick’s copyright by claiming HE owns scourge.
I do a lot of Sonic projects on YT and as the main voice actress of Rosy and Alicia and an on and off voice actress for Miles this is a good way for me to add more to their characters both in my own stories and others done by my friends so I know what these characters are about 😂 I needed this 👍
This is a very well done visual encyclopedia of the entirety of Sonic's older catalog of history in the comic books I'm not the biggest fan of every single story in the Archie comics mainly because some of them are poorly written and some of them are just downright just horrible (cough cough issue 150) but it doesn't change the fact that I still think it's fascinating and I think what you did was a very well done way to give the comic some justice In fact I hope one day that you and I get to collaborate on videos like this or even have me do some voice over on one of these videos if you cant I do hope that you consider 😎👍
Not gonna lie, I'm like 90% sure you're the only reason i was on tic tok, because when you were banned i almost stopped using it. Edit: fixed the redundancy of the comment lmao
man i didn’t even notice your account got banned on tiktok! i wondered why i wasn’t seeing those character videos on my timeline as much… or at all i guess. what a shame
The issue with that comes in the fact that something like that would have to be litigated in a court of law - cause while according to Penders' list of copyright registrations that he's provided the name of the character is "Evil Sonic" - if Sega wanted to claim ownership of Scourge, they would have to specifically contest that there is a meaningful difference between the characters of 'Evil Sonic' and 'Scourge' - which honestly? Might be difficult. From the way Penders tweets, it seems like he does in fact contact his lawyers before taking legal action - as after Sonic 2 was released he did make a public claim that he believed that the version of Knuckles' dad that appeared in the movie infringed on his ownership of the character, 'Locke', and that he also believed other concepts the film introduced infringed on his ownership of 'Enerjak'. He stated on twitter that he would be in talks with his lawyers, and being that we've heard nothing since then, I think he was told that his case was not strong enough in that instance. So at this time, Penders feels comfortable licensing out the name and design of Scourge and I'd have to assume he does this under the advisement of his lawyers. This isn't to say that Sega couldn't have their legal department split the hairs on the differences between "Evil Sonic" and "Scourge" to reclaim the character - but I don't think they really want to. Corporations don't do anything unless they see a financial benefit in doing so - and as much as I would love to believe that there would be reason for them to reopen this decades closed legal battle - I don't think they see any financial benefit to reclaiming Scourge, especially when they can make replacements like Surge without a legal battle.
Dude this is a pretty rad video on all things Anti-Mobius and Scourge and thank you for leaving the names out. I'm the lead writer on the project and I just wanted to clear some things up; nobody on the team was a bigot; it was twitter doing what twitter does making a mountain out of a molehill. Given your coverage of the topic was actually pretty good wouldn't mind answering questions.
Some how during a Fortnite stream their automated system thought I was under the age of 13 and even after sending in a copy of my ID (which they already had since I was in the creator fund so IDK why they made me send it again) - they just never responded.

So glad to see you uploading these in larger compilations! Really great comprehensive stuff
IT'S THE SALT MAN!

thats a really interesting take!!

_god_ i remember being there in discord when we learned that the scourge comic had been cancelled, that was fucking surreal
I do a lot of Sonic projects on YT and as the main voice actress of Rosy and Alicia and an on and off voice actress for Miles this is a good way for me to add more to their characters both in my own stories and others done by my friends so I know what these characters are about 😂 I needed this 👍
Nice, not a lot of great Archie Sonic lord videos out there, so it’s nice to find one that’s good.
Also, thank you SO MUCH for listing creators. Not enough people do that.
so basically your portfolio for sega to hire you
Moebius more like morbius
I GET IT. XD
This is a very well done visual encyclopedia of the entirety of Sonic's older catalog of history in the comic books

Patch should've had Antoine's old last name that was used in Satam.
Great lore breakdown. Glad I came across this. Always like the Archie stuff
smalls cat is top tier
Hey, at least we have scourge eternal blackout
Bro that scourge the speed demon story 💀💀💀
man i didn’t even notice your account got banned on tiktok! i wondered why i wasn’t seeing those character videos on my timeline as much… or at all i guess. what a shame
Yeah - I started a new one (linked in description) - and Tik Tok hasn't gotten back to me about their decision about unbanning the old one.
I don’t think Ken technically owns the rights to scourge, he owns the rights to anti-Sonic, but not scourge the hedgehog.

Dr.Sonic sounds like a Dr.Mario clone game

Somehow isn't much better than the Prime Geoffrey when it comes to minors.
Thanks Ken....you petty little girl
