@leonwolfrenAND I CRIED WATCHING THE ENGLISH DUB. IF I WAS THAT SAD WATCHING THE ENGLISH DUB, YOU COULD IMAGINE THAT I LITTERALY BAWLED MY EYES OUT WATCHING THE JP ONE
I don't know if that would be the case considering Shadow in the Metarex arc supposedly doesn't remember anything about his past after he reawakens. I agree the show was probably drawing a parallel between Molly and Maria for us the audience, but Shadow himself wouldn't be able to associate Molly with Maria if he doesn't even remember her. At the end of the episode, Rouge does suggest to Shadow that Molly may have reminded him of "Her" (Maria). But when Shadow seems confused about who the "Her" Rouge is referring to is, Rouge then adds "Or not," realizing Shadow doesn't remember Maria and doesn't know who she's talking about.
yeah. i haven't gotten the chance to see it yet but that's immediately what grabbed my attention and tbh it just makes it hurt even more. really letting the tragedy sink in
4Kids, ladies and gentlemen. Won't show Shadow punching Chris, but will show Amy getting possessed by a ghost and giving a creepy face. Won't say that a family member died, but will have people's souls be at risk of being eaten by a terrifying primordial dragon. This is why they went bankrupt and I do not feel sorry for them.
@@langadube9611 yeah, the Pokémon dub is the only decent thing they made. but I don’t miss 4Kids. It is awful. I don’t feel that bad, especially considering it sucks and they don’t care about sticking true.
@@samariathemaniac Yea but I give 4kids some credit they were able to commission big projects. Ultimate Muscle Season 2 and Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters miniseries being commissioned by them that were never released in Japan.
I'm always surprised by how screwed over pre-2010 japanese media gets in translation/dubs Can you imagine how hard a metal virus arc would've gone in this show :0
It was mainly changed because of dragon ball z kai but some pre 2010 seires are still cursed to dubbing styles due to the damage done like pokemon,yu-gi-oh and bakugan
The biggest issue with Chris though is that he took too much screen time away from the other characters. And then he still had his grandfather and friends from school. If they further wanted to emphasize his loneliness, they should have maybe written his friends or parents to be more toxic. And maybe just weed out some of Chris’s episodes because he took a lot of time from Amy and tails.
The fact that Molly actually dies, Chris gets stabbed, Maria gets shot, and Cream is in love with a robot? Damn, Japanese people are wild. Oh yeah and Cosmo f*cking dies.
@@mr_inconspicuous imo yes, it is. The lore is the most detailed, the characters are all there, it's not just some AU or half-assed story taken out of context. Yes, Sonic Satam, Sonic Boom and Sonic Prime are kinda fun in their own way, but there is no such level of maturity and story-building like in Sonic X. Sonic fans are just hella picky.
What's really messed up is in hindsight, Tails is right. Cosmo dying is literally Sonic's fault, because he had the chance to kill Dark Oak right in the first fight against him, but he held back for the sake of amusement. This then forced him to scatter the Emeralds throughout the galaxy, dragging numerous planets into the war and resulting in Cosmo's eventual death. And here's the really messed up thing. Sonic never really owns up to this or talks to Tails after that episode. Their friendship ended and it never fixed itself. Sonic only came back at the end to fight Eggman, not as a friend. Yeah, this show was kind of f---ed up when you think about it. It's probably one of the reasons why Sega keeps making excuses for why they don't want to use these characters in anything.
Nah it's all wrong. It was hinted already in Episode 69 that she will die eventually. When Earthia became a tree because she "killed" Luchs and co from that moment their fate was doomed. She even mentions that Cosmo will suffer a lot. All this happened because Cosmo's species were in war against Molly's planet. And top of that,Molly's family that started it all. Luchs wanted to survive but to do this he sacrificed their planet's energy and all the plants. Luchs and Aerthia loved each other until she finds out Luchs plan. And the funny thing that after he kills everyone except Cosmo(to use her ) he regrets all of that and his main goal became the one that Earthia loves the most: Narure. Luchs wants to use the chaos emeralds to make every planet out of plants and trees only. When he finally dies,Earthia forgives him in the afterlife. Their desire for their own goal what killed Cosmo not Sonic. Tails and Sonic's friendship still strong to this day. When Cosmo confronted him and gave a goodbye kiss,Tails knew that she died. Yet she wanted to believe that Sonic will somehow saves her. Tails blamed Sonic only because he couldn't accept the fact that she truly died. Sonic was there so Tails can let out all his cry. The last scene you mentions is very simple. Sonic was angry because Eggman sent Chris home without any goodbye. It has nothing to do with Cosmo or Tails. Hope my English is acceptable haha.
@@SmokeTheHorsehog yeah, kinda, especially when we are talking about how SEGA, lately, took out its characters' ages to probably avoid uncomfortable situations. Like, Colors Sonic still has a 16-years-old body, but his voice sounds like from a 30-years-old immature uncle, which it can be said for how he acted in the whole 2010's era before Frontiers change it a bit.
@@elmemearana And that decision of their to remove the character ages is controversial, in and of itself. Mostly because it adds to these debates tenfold.
That’s why I made up a little excuse that sonics species mature faster. Basically, you can move out as soon as you’re mature enough to handle your own affairs. Because you’ll notice that even though they’re all kids and teenagers, everyone is lives on their own aside from cream.
8:46: Man, that is beautiful and painful. This made me cry, I watched the tv shows,read the Archie Comics, and played the games. No moment in those mentioned made me cry. Uncle Chuck and Sally getting turned into a robot, nope. Shadow and Gamma were close but, this made me shed tears. This moment is something I do not know if we will ever see again.Cosmo and Tails love was beautiful it is heartbreaking that in her final moments they confess their true feelings. It is sad, man.
“All I wanted to do was to stop her!” “So you…shot her? Couldn’t walk across and push the lever up again and detain her?” Edit: *Sees comments* :Oh dear 😅
i mean yeah, but it's that scene is used as a means of a read-between-the-lines moment lol. it's supposed to be brutal in the way of showing that that's reality of what it's like to be a part of the military
@@Elipson52008 Oh man, if only you knew how many doctors without borders hospitals the U.S. military has drone striked, or how REGULARLY the Israeli Defense Force puts holes in pregnant women and children.
@@crimsonzone8984 Yeah, they do have their own problems, I know. And that’s because they think Sonic is “just a kids franchise”, leading to problems like this. Sonic the Hedgehog is not a “kids franchise.” It’s an everyone franchise. That means it has to tell the story and not ruin it. That means that they need to try to make it work, and not hide under the “it’s just for kids” excuse. And even then, shows made for PRESCHOOLERS understand that better. Take Bluey, one of my favorite shows of all time. They didn’t shy away from miscarriage or insecurities, and they tackled it in a respectful way. Another example is from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, which is still to this day, my favorite show of all time. He covered assassination! And he treated it with thoughtfulness and care. If shows designed for a younger demographic can do it, so can 4Kids. Oh wait, I forgot 4Kids doesn’t have any balls. Or effort. Or respect for other cultures. Or anything really.
@@samariathemaniac indeed. Although kids franchise and everyone's franchise aren't different. Sonic is still a kids series, just not the kind of kid series that we expect in the west. The butchering in English could be a case of either cultural diversity or racism.
I cry every time that’s why I had to skip it. I cried with Molly. I cried with Cosmo. I shed a tear for Maria. And I had a moment of silence before with Emyrl. And the one time sonic cried was also too much to handle. Forget Chris being lonely, sonic is the one who just stabs your heart at the end.
Cosmo is so sad😢 But that's kinda a good thing because it's meant to be a sad scene. 4kids censorship ruined every death scene, so that's why I only watch the sub
In the games he reach, and she is about to pull, he warna her and when she tries to pull, he takes de shot, and hits maria, in the series he likely was VERY nervous about that whole Ordeal, so he took the shot by sheer stress, likely a Non lethal shot in his mind, but... Childs die... Kinda easy ya know?
Naah… The part where Chris’ parents never came back made me sad, but when I saw Tails cry in the scene where he didn’t want to shoot Cozmo literally brought tears and I tried not to cry. God damn!
The possessed Amy triggers me. It make me cry. I’m a Adult almost 30 and Amy creeps me out to tears. Amy and that radioactive guy from that one episode of The Simpsons. Simple images on google alone makes me tear up.
Bro, seeing Tails like this when I was younger jacked me up as much as the Conquest ending of Hyper Nep2. Shit was heart wrenching and DIRE. I was pouring out water for the homie Cosmo for a month.
Sonic X Eggman was the most based out of all of them. Dude was more a father figure to several of the characters than he was an actual villain. Will never not love this iteration.
Thaf last one with tails made me reaaally break down into tears that was hard to watch. I’ve never watched the Japanese version of the anime and man this whole video just hits SO DIFFERENT …. I never had any idea it was so raw and real ….
He became much more lifefull after Sonic arrived. And he also got courage to do dangerous situations. When Sonic and co can go home,he fears that all his courage will fade away and his life become boring and meaningless again. Sonic gave Chris that his parents didn't do. Spend time with him and teach a lot of thing.
This was never what Chris struggled with tho? His story is about his parents not being around when he grew up. Which is realistic take on children who have parents that work 24/7 and have no time for them.
If anything, this Shadow should be the saddest. He lost a father, a best friend, AND another friend. That would be devastating to a person, if you ask me
He couldn’t remember his father and sister/best friend during the period he lost another friend. It was left unclear if he ever regained those memories at the end.
If you make a second clip, include some of Shadow's darkest parts as well! I love that the anime wasn't afraid to make Sonic darker and more nuanced, feels like that's lost in modern Sonic stories these days. Feels way too kid friendly now.
This last scene with Cosmo is the sole reason I don't want to watch this anime again. The whole show is so good but I know I'll just cry for days afterwards.
@@mayomaioMore like they shouldn’t. Cosmo didn’t deserve that who she honestly deserved better. Imagine if your Daughter had to suffer the same fate as Cosmo did. I bet you wouldn’t even be saying that if that were the case.
7:49 bro got blasted by the SUPER LASER PISS! (what? Me just saying that to hide my sadness about Cosmo's death?! Why I would never do that? What? Tears? NO! That's just.. uhh... THAT'S JUST WATER BAKA!!!)
Yeah, because the 4Kids version is terrible, I won't say the voice cast is bad, because it isn't, just 4Kids themselves, with all the changes and such! 😂
