It does annoy me. The comic "fans" shat on the SATam characters all the damn time especially after the reboot, IDW teases Tangle and every one of them is ready to eat her shit.
Base +17, Roarin Thunder +6, Dawnell_do +1, bigscuba +1
A lot of comic book fans seem to hate the saturday morning cartoon sonic the hedgehog characters (like the freedom fighters, uncle chuck, dulcy) but when Tangle was revealed many were singing praise for her, claiming her reveal confirms the archie cast is dead (may as well be since IDW and Ian Flynn are dancing around the issue as best they can).
Someone made a well done animation for Tangle the day of her reveal, very few were saying anything negative about her. Also these "fans" seem to be fine with the "Resistance" from Sonic Forces which basically are the Freedom Fighters but filled with Forces OCs.
I don't recall reading any shit slinging towards the post-reboot characters like Clove.
@ hoigoigoi Tangle is shit. I've been saying this since day one. IDW Sonic is gonna have to pull some miracles in order to become interesting, and I don't mean more action scenes that go on for 20 pages.
Also most characters designed after the reboot are awful, this includes what the Freedom Fighters became, Clove's one of the only good ones. I'm actually happy with them not showing up on the IDW comic because either they would have to have those awful redesigns or make new ones that could be even worse.
Actually Ian Flynn's characters and the Freedom Figters CAN come back but it will take a year since they want to get a fresh start going. Would be hard to do if they started throwing in characters from the previous comic series from the start.
And yes Clove, and her sister Cassia, are best girls.
