OK, While im not sure if this has been braught up before, or at least in a similear matter, But I'm going to shoot the discussion anyway.
Right so as the topic states. I find it amazing that while SatAM only had 26 Episodes before having its door closed. That it contained so much visuals, and character, teeming with life or lack there of. To have we the fans keep it alive, not just for nostalgia reasons but also because the world was so vast and expansive that we can't let it be lost in oblivion and only be seen as a dusty VHS. Ithink what I'm trying to get at is, while we make our own asumptions on what ifs, or plot holes that we try to fillwith reasoning, or better yet creating a Mobius that while still keeping the SatAM vibe, making it even more unique or unsettleing. I mean sure yes the show was for kids, but it had a lot of hidden content that our young minds couldn't pick as easily until we got older. For instance "Blast From The Past part 2" we get to see Uncle Chuck roboticized right before young Sonic's eye's, and lets add a what if to that. lets say Future Sonic, or Juice as he so aptly named himself. Ran in as his uncle was being robticized, think of how he would react. I think it would be an emotional side that Sonic never showed. Lets also say that young Sonic sees his break down. He now has broke his cover as his future self. Thats just one example that keeps at least myself dedicated to keeping this gem alive. Even more so with what some of you members know as M.O.B.I.U.S. which I have very ambitious plans for.
Now I'll bring up, the fanfiction side of things. While yes its fan work and and not official. The fact that we can completly change how things happen or characters react. For me I like to put the charaters in situations that are not normal, within their character. By giving them free reign to choose how they see fit. In other words I play god but they have free will, even though its my own mind creating it, while giving the impression I have no control over their lives. The other thing I love about SatAM related fanfictions is having the feel and tone of the show, or adding to that, and yet still make us the reader feel as if it was natrual and intergrated into that world that Ben Hurst invisioned. And I guess the last thing I'd like to put is, while yes SatAM in the modern Sonic world is another cannon and should be forgotten, and just focus on what we have now. In actuality SatAM pathed everything out from the lore that Sega of America had built, something that is so full of content and creative character, and settings. That at least for me is the biggest lore for a game that was only thought as a ( Point A - Point B ) with no story, and weather or not the modern generation agrees, we are the true Fans of Sonic, as we have watched it grow into mass phenomanon, and then with one flick of hand. Slump down to where other non Sonic gamers just want it to end.
Wow that was quite a lot, and I hope deep for your reading. as it was for me typing it out.
Well I guess I'll see now what discussion might start or not start. As this is how I feel about my favorite childhood world.
