@@games_on_phone89 Sonic Colours; frequent fourth wall breaks and self depreciating jokes insulting and degrading the characters. Sonic Generations; self-aware, making fun of the ‘too many friends’ thing, while actively drawing attention to Eggman’s losing streak Sonic Boom (like you said) Lost World and subsequent entries lacked direct fourth wall breaks, but continued to poke fun at the characters and continuity. It only ‘stopped’ starting from TSR, and Frontiers is basically a return to form. TLDR; the ones at the beginning of the 2010s mostly, the rest except TSR were fairly meta as well.
Quite the opposite, they hate side characters. We haven't had a game with playable side characters since like 2008. Sonic and the Black Knight had some I think. Before that it was Sonic 06 which had 3 well functioning ones, and then 6 intentionally weak side characters that were barely useable, 2 of which have a high rate of suicides (Knuckles and Blaze) It's unfortunate but that this is what killed the series for me, no side characters and too much 2D.
I love how there are so many heroes in the Sonic universe, and then there’s Team Chaotix who are literally a bunch of broke hustlers who inadvertently bumble their way into conflict and saving the day.
@@Jotari They beat the shit out of Eggman because he said he could pay but actually couldn't until he took over the world. I don't think rent was ever *mentioned* in Heroes, but money was their driving motivation
A lot of meta jokes aren't funny but this video is gold because it just keeps getting more and more meta, I was half expecting it to end with live footage of me watching the video.

Everyone's talking about how difficult it was to find voice actors for Vector and Esper, but can we just mention how Jehtt had to find *two more* talented voice actors to voice Sonic and Shadow just for a couple of seconds?
The fact that these literal joke videos have a more consistent continuity and better self-aware humor than full-budget games of a licensed property both disturbs me and gives me life.
I would unironically be down for something like that. Or something like the detective segments of the later Batman Arkham games. Putting the pieces together to solve a case.
I just want to say I appreciate you using the same font style and borders that the old fansubbers used to use to sub this show. It really is the strawberry on top of the cake.
Vector: "We need more ways to make money." Espio: "Wait, haven't you been babysitting Cream for the past few months? Where's the money from that?" Vector: "I uh... might've told Vanilla I'd do it for free..." Espio: "... Understandable, but I'm still mad."
Clicked read more expecting the reveal to be that Vector was never babysitting Cream, that was just what he told the other two he was doing when he went to have lovely nights with, and subsequently bang, Vanilla.
@@amilueur nah it’s just getting worse cause now people have to pay to get verification and they’re suppressing people who don’t pay for their posts to get exposure it’s just dumb all around.
It was lovely to see Jehtt use the style of SolidJJ for a few seconds! And even better to see him pay respect to SolidJJ by saying we are not funny enough to get away with that
As someone who enjoys video essays, I’d watch 40 minutes of sonic characters I don’t know the names of doing Marxian analysis of dialectical materialism

Nice video bro
A 40 minute essay on capitalism voiced by Espio would be epic
Essay, please. We must be taught on such a.. exhilarating topic.
You really got me with that 4th wall break lol
This was great lol
What got me the most is that Espio actually uses the opportunity of being on a video to actually interject his video essay.
I have the feeling he's been wanting to do that for a LONG time
Thats what really killed me lmao
I'd watch his video essays.
And that he has it MEMORIZED
The mark of a true ninja, he saw an opportunity and immediately took it.
Saying “dumb fucks” as Charmy was the highlight of my week
With the elections and their implications looming large in the back of our minds, it'll probably end up the highlight of a lot of our weeks

IDW Metal Virus arc really did them justice in my opinion. Espio vs. Zazz even made me tear up.

It's jehtt, it's gonna gain traction.
I love that Espio, for some reason, decided to start his video essay DURING THE CALL TO ACTION and somehow expected to have enough time 😂
