Review of Sonic Prime

Sonic Prime (2022–2025)
Decently decent
30 March 2023
I remember watching Sonic boom on Cartoon Network during my youth. I also remember the famous adventures of Sonic the hedgehog on Netflix. I enjoyed these shows, with Sonic and friends going on wacky hijinks to defeat dr. Eggman. There's this new show called Sonic Prime (Which, Ironically is on Netflix) which seemed nice, but I quickly lost interest.

The show starts with our favorite Hedgehog late to join up with his friends for the latest doctor bashing, Eggman finds a crystal (the paradox prism I think they called it?) that can let him rule the world. The thing I like the most about this show is the action scenes, they always feel satisfying when the heroes defeat the robots and move on to the next batch. Especially when it happens in the other dimensions when It doesn't look stale and repetitive.

Then the crystal breaks and Sonic is in a dystopian universe where Eggman has won and either enslaved, mechanized, or ran off everyone but Sonic (Oh, and Eggman has split himself into 5 for some reason), and here when things get a little iffy. They do this cool multiverse thing, but they only show one setting, Green hill zone. I would've killed to see what the other locations in Sonic's world (Marble zone, Labyrinth zone, etc.) would look like in the other dimensions; maybe if they had a bigger budget or more time, I don't know.

Ok, here's my biggest takeaway from this show: they do this thing where they show flashbacks of what happened before the events of the series, but they often show the same events whenever anyone brings it up. Wouldn't it be less time-consuming and monotonous if all the flashbacks were all in one big episode at the beginning? Why do we have to see these events we already know happened?

I gave up after the jungle episode (I don't know what the jungle episode was called though,) because I honestly was too bored to move on with the series. Overall, It's a decent show, but given the choice, I'd rather pick the adventures of Sonic the hedgehog.
