>Even the darkest Sonic content from the Archie comics keeps an ironic distance and sense of humor. You're not supposed to take Sonic seriously.
Archie's sense of humor is completely divorced from whatever Sonic team was doing with the games. You cannot cite them as evidence of Sonic's core philosophies. They were so obviously on different pages, doing their own thing. Shit like SatAM is a dead giveaway of the mismatch of ideas of what Sonic is and should be. Hell, even Adventures of Sonic was going a different direction that SatAM, and both of those shows are American endeavors. Sonic was whatever the hell anyone feels like doing, until Sega clamped down on that.
