Interesting video my friend. Definitely something for me to reconsider when I revisit the HiT Era for my re-rankings. I do agree with the model making aspects of this era doing well with new characters ☺️🚂🚃
I think this is also where the similarities to Sonic began (mostly in the case of Rosie veing Amy Rose and Don't go back being a backward version of Sonic and Shadow's fight on the ark)
I don't know if this going to be a Hot take but here it goes: *"The HIT era undertood Gordon and James as characters better than the Brenner Era did"* In the Brenner Era they feel like stereotypes you know, James is always vain and that's it and Gordon is always grumpy; but in the HIT era they feel more human, with a greater understanding and balance of their flaws and virtues as characters.
@@spiderfan2003 I mean he wasn't. He's still the same old James we all love but more exaggerated and lacking the layers that his vanity had in the classic series "with the exception of All in vain from Season 20"
