Also look at their ratings. Those are all TV-PG, which would give up the all ages slot Sonic's always had (outside of that one little mishap.) Secret Saturday, Transformers: Animated, Ben 10, or Batman: Brave and the Bold would be better examples, as they're action shows on the network with the TV-Y7 rating, and of course none of those have people being shot to pieces with bullets. Of course, really even a TV-PG might not be enough to show that kind of specific situation as anything other than comical red holes on their torso.
I'm not saying that it had to have happened, but even if it did, we wouldn't be seeing her shot through the spine and sprawled on the floor in the puddle of her own blood. That was just clearly never an option, and it is nothing like having a character go oomph on the ground with a doctor saying "that's bad!"
Also Mobius xx Years Later being the true future was dropped pretty quickly. It's just a possible future/alternate zone
I don't think showing some blood is that traumatizing to young kids, but that's just me. Granted, we don't even know she was shot. The fact only part of the goggles was broken kinda makes me wonder if Ian's camouflaging the whole scene, as a way to get more readers to buy the issue. However, I almost guarantee if it's as bad as I think it looks at first, this comic will lose alot of fans, especially if Ian and Yardley have the audacity to make it cheap and disrespectful.
I cannot answer, because I am not an Archie hater. I was once, not so long ago, but figured there's no point in obsessing with something you hate. Now I just... don't care anymore.
They can kill Bunnie, Sally, or anyone really. Sure, I care for Bunnie (and Sally to, to keep it on-topic), but I don't care for the comic. If she's dead, it means she won't appear in any issue anymore... so why would I mind if I don't read them anyways? I still have the memory of the character when I liked her, and that's a reward I'm very grateful of. I prefer to let bad things slip instead of hating on them, and I wish more people could think that way, but the choice is all theirs.
You do make a good point I have to say.
You know, this comic has done alot of damage to characters like Bunnie and Sally. From issue one to the present, they've deteriorated from the characters we know and love in Satam to ones we don't even know what they are anymore.
Granted, some things they did were kinda cool, like the long hair they gave them both, but other than that, these two really have not been utilized properly.
I guess the main thing that deeply bothers me about all of this is fact I somehow see this move as a way to get Sonic to date Amy now since Sally appears to be dead.
But, as you said, no point in obsessing something you can't change. Sega is determined to corrupt this comic with their SOJ crap, and they don't intend to change that anytime soon.
Perhaps it's best if Satam fans should treat this comic as non canon, because it doesn't deserve to be canonized after all the garbage they put the fans through who've been loyal to this comic since its inception.
