Welcome to the channel! My name is Japes, and I talk about a variety of different topics mostly surrounding the Sonic the Hedgehog series. If you're already a subscriber, welcome back and great to have you!
In this short video, I go over the interesting topic of female characters in Sonic the Hedgehog, including Amy Rose the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat, and Rouge the Bat. It seems like lately there have been a slew of changes to these female characters that seem to be unnecessary and, unfortunately, bring down their characterization. In my opinion, most of these characters' characterization were at their peak in their debut games, indicating that Sega may have lost sight as to why we loved these characters in the first place. It seems that Sega has been scared to allow their characters to fall into certain "stereotypes", but that fear is at the cost of creating characters that don't seem to have their own personality.
This video is more of a discussion video, so please leave your thoughts and ideas in the comments! I'll be responding to every single one of you! If you like Sonic content or nerdy things in general, definitely subscribe to the channel. I will be making videos every single week!
